[…] blowing up a draft office or a bank seemed sexy and exciting at the time – the group did not connect with the working class or organised labour, let alone with straight America, grazing in the malls. The author tries at the end to show that, despite their complete failure, the WU were important […]
[…] computer-based information handling, only with the computer’s assistance can this kind of intensive information gathering be usefully handled. On Humberside, after a flurry of anxiety within the Labour Party, the Humberside Police Committee awoke briefly from its slumbers, and asked the Chief Constable to produce the Operational Requirements of the system. He refused, instead […]

Gross manipulation of labour movements. Shameless manufacture of ‘news’, the disinformation effect of which is multiplied when CIA assets in other countries pick up the same stories. Providing handbooks, materials […]
