What was Henry Brandon? One of the most interesting secondary sources covering the struggles of the British Labour government under Harold Wilson to prevent the devaluation of sterling between 1964-66 is Henry Brandon’s In the Red, published by Andre Deutsch in 1966. It is a remarkably well-informed text and its reliability is underlined by the […]
[…] flagrant disregard for the divine law. Like the Birchers, evangelicals flocked to Goldwater’s disastrous Presidential campaign in 1964. In 1968 they came out in large numbers for Nixon, the man who seemed to champion the godly ‘silent majority’ against the long-hairs, hippies and freaks who opposed the war in Vietnam and wanted America to […]
[…] nothing. To call it ‘manipulated race war’ at the minimum we need some explanation and some evidence. We get neither. On the decision made under President Nixon to end the post-war system of fixed currencies and float the dollar, he writes: ‘The real architects of the Nixon strategy were in the influential City […]

Yet only a handful of convictions related to what gave the scandal its name: the June 17 […]
[…] the first example of an attempt to fit UK events into the framework provided by Gemstone. On the first page we get Miller, Judah Binstock, Lansky, Luciano, Nixon, Onassis, Danite Mormons (?), Watergate, Hughes, Kennedy, CIA JFK, the Warren Commission……It’s a farrago in which one or two suggestive facts are buried under a torrent […]

Neither countries nor their peoples are constrained to be towed in the wake of international capital. They have political choices.

Will the Illuminati arrive in black helicopters or Nazi-designed UFO’s? We are currently awash in dotty conspiracy theories.
