[…] have been radically different but the ‘split’ remained ‘essentially a tactical question’. For Coogan ‘The Order’s’ penchant for Schaukelpolitik (see-saw politics) was directed at playing off Dulles’s CIA against the Soviet Bloc, wringing concessions from both, to ensure the survival of their own goals. Outside the myopic circles of the occult and French New […]

[…] by Senator Schweiker and the House Investigation; interviews Gerry Hemmings; and the first HSCA director, Richard Sprague, on the politics of the HSCA; discusses the death of CIA big-wig Paisley; accumulates a fair bit of Garrisonia; gives us more about Nagell; discusses Oswald qua Manchurian candidate; and interviews MK Ultra’s Sydney Gottlieb. Russell is […]

[…] of the organisation’s appearance and the particular ‘pitch’ it is offering. If this was the 1950s or 60s we might assume it was an example of classic CIA funding of a putative left group. But these days, who knows? 2 Notice that he, like almost everyone else these days, writes of Nato and not […]

[…] book and TV documentary that Frank Olsen, the American army scientist who was thrown out of a hotel window in 1953, after being given LSD by the CIA, had been working on biological weapons.

[…] of its resources, both spiritual and material, into the battle with the Left. As is well known, the Vatican acted as a conduit for the transfer of CIA funds to the Christian Democrats.

[…] after his shrink’s files. Or why Hunt claimed the Ellsberg file was never covertly photographed, when apparently it was. I suspect those photos went directly to the CIA, not to CREEP. I’ve long wanted to put MK-ULTRA research behind me. I really do not want to be thinking the way I’m thinking. Hopefully, a […]

[…] as it is ideologically committed to capitalism and against any form of so cialism and secularism. Their system of secrecy reminds one of the ways that the CIA operates: routinely denying that people are members, unless it can be proved otherwise. When coupled with their doctrine of ‘individual freedom’, this means that when O.D. […]

[…] and jihadis. Billions of dollars and high tech weaponry flow into Islamist hands; tons of heroin return from Afghanistan as the ‘cowboys’, headed by Casey at the CIA, start to spread an enormous net of American money and personnel across Pakistan and the Middle East, much of it going through the BCCI.
