[…] London. Robin Ramsay Ware on Wallace I became aware of John Ware when he joined the side of the sceptics about Colin Wallace during the great Wallace-Wright- Wilson plots events of 1987. Ware had been one of the many journalists who went to interview Colin Wallace at his home in Arundel that year. Rather […]

[…] More interesting is the Defence Attache (June) piece by the pseudonymous P.Q. Mann, which suggested the affair was an intelligence-gathering mission. Mann’s piece is discussed by Andrew Wilson in The Observer, June 17. Lengthy extracts from the Mann piece are included in the current Intelligence (see Publications). The Mann piece is most striking for […]

[…] sections. The first hundred pages, and especially the first seventy-six pages, are an attempt to represent the Kennedy administration as a kind of US version of Harold Wilson.

In 1963 James Angleton, head of the CIA’s counter intelligence branch, following up the revelations of Anatoli Golitsyn, informed MI5 that Harold Wilson, then leader of the Labour Party, was a spy.

[…] thing. Real, named, scientists and industrialists are interested. But on the down side there are more bizarre claims by a now dead, allegedly much decorated, USAF Colonel Wilson about MJ12 et al.
