In popular terms, collusive secrecy and law-breaking are part of how the deep political system works.'(6) Nobody who has witnessed Watergate, Irangate, Kincora, the Rainbow Warrior murders, Stalker, Colin Wallace, or any of the other significant exposes of the secret state activities of the past 25 years […]

[…] establishment of “a public-private mechanism” to fund overseas activities openly.’ The NED was devised to eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities in the wake of Watergate and the Church Committee.

[…] spies; trying to fire Angleton, as might have been expected, but unexpectedly failing when Angleton secured the support of Schlesinger himself. In early May 1973, after the Watergate resignations of Haldeman, Ehrlichman and Dean, Colby was told that Nixon wanted him to be the next DCI. And it was at just this time that […]

[…] value of chronology in spades. I haven’t seen Sproesser’s other volumes (1963, including minute-by-minute logs of 22, 23 and 24 November, the Warren Commission, MLK and RFK, Watergate, etc), but if they are anything like this they are must-haves.

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 of nonsensical assertions.

Will the Illuminati arrive in black helicopters or Nazi-designed UFO’s? We are currently awash in dotty conspiracy theories. This is an interesting phenomenon even if the content of most of them is almost totally unreliable – at best. Some of this is the spin-off from the Oklahoma bombing and the media’s discovery of the militias. […]
