[…] 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. This includes an account of Wilson meeting a 8 foot female alien wearing a crystal ring on her finger from which emanated […]

[…] in his account they are just part of the picture. This is not the only area Pearce refuses to take on board. There is nothing on the Wilson plots and the fact that Healey’s wartime flirtation with communism loomed large in MI5’s disinformation strategy. The entire 1974-7 period of hysteria on the right, intense […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] areas about which I do know something, there are some dumb mistakes. The Fluency Committee was not set up in Whitehall to examine the evidence that Harold Wilson was a Soviet agent (p.148); Colin Wallace has not ‘admitted putting out anti-Wilson material in an operation known as Clockwork Orange’ (p.149). Do such minor errors […]
[…] 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. After a few enquiries Sir Roger Hollis, MI5’s boss, told John McCone, then head of the CIA, […]
[…] by Flora Solomon and Rothschild, some members of the British upper classes knew of Blunt’s role and the subsequent offer of immunity. Though not, until much later, Wilson, the Labour Prime Minister, nor his Law Officers, the Attorney General and the Solicitor General. The Lord Chancellor, Gerald Gardiner, and Elwyn Jones were kept uninformed […]

[…] tough of the track’, a working-class track runner who would amble in from a day’s work as a plumber (?) and beat the toffs; and the Amazing Wilson, a mysterious runner who lived ‘in the hills’ and would descend now and then, dressed in black tights, to beat all-comers. I remember these characters – […]
