[…] Essentials, 2002; £3.99 Pocket Essentials are the publishers who have had the taste and good sense to publish my Conspiracy Theories and The Rise of New Labour; and will publish a volume from Lobster contributor John Burnes on MI5 this year. So, yes, this is a shameless plug. However Nixon’s book is really […]
[…] interests of brevity and not to bore your readers I will take up only a few but telling points. ‘The Wallace-Holroyd claim of having discussed smears on Labour politicians with Mr. Neave’. The simple fact is, Holroyd never met nor had any form of contact with Airey Neave. ‘The Independent has examined the original […]
[…] knowledge of the literature on Africa, Vietnam, Latin America, Middle East, Spanish Civil War, genocide, Balkan conflicts, Ireland, crime and punishment, black writers, the Russian Revolution, communism, Labour Party history, Thatcherism, science and society including nuclear issues, censorship and freedom of speech and of the printed word, feminism, radical working-class authors, human thought, espionage, […]
[…] to the CIA (p. 275). This is by far the most detailed account of Bilderberg’s origins and even includes a picture of the first meeting, with then Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell on the very back row.

One of our Irish readers describes the Sunday News as ‘almost wholly Catholic..Nationalist … moderately Social Democratic Labour Party rather than moderately Republican.’ We have no way of checking the veracity of many (most) of these stories. We offer them because they are interesting; […]

[…] the next President of the US and a future British political leader just the kind of people the Bilderbergers would want to have a look at. Labour leader John Smith was then on Bilderberg’s steering committee and brought Brown in. For Smith to play this role there had to be more to him […]
