[…] little guy vs. Big Brother), because hackers are motivated more by malicious amusement than by genuine self-defense. More hype comes from a bizarre intersection of cyberspace with conspiracy theory: the incredible PROMIS software by Inslaw, Inc. For months I was reading accounts of how this software was revolutionary, and could track everything about everyone. […]
[…] Communist. It is difficult to lay this charge to rest once and for all because these critics really mean something much broader than the dictionary definition of conspiracy. All right, then, if “conspiracy” means that these men are aware of their interests, know each other personally, meet together privately and off the record, and […]
[…] now has the best mail order book list in the UK for things conspiratorial, Masonic, oligarchic, elite-wise etc. Who else in the UK offers Proofs of a Conspiracy by John Robison (originally printed 1798) at 10, Nesta Webster’s best known three books, and Who Are The Trilaterals? by KOP editor, Ronald King, at 0.15p?

As a recent TV programme (James Bellini’s ‘The Polite Conspiracy’ 4th April 1984 BBC2) made clear, the rich have devised some artful ways of avoiding tax. Of course they also have a government committed to drastically reducing their tax ‘burden’ (e.g. Nigel Lawson’s abolition of investment income surcharge, formerly payable on high unearned incomes).

How often does the conspiracy buff/ parapolitics connoisseur stumble upon a new, all-colour, glossy parapolitics magazine at W. H. Smith’s at Euston Station? Not that often. When I called Private Eye to mail order a copy of Paul Foot’s fascinating report on the Lockerbie trial, I was assured that I could buy a copy […]
[…] against Larry O’Hara has reached new depths. In the March issue they published his picture and described where they think he works and lives. Is this not conspiracy to cause actual bodily harm (or worse) to O’Hara? Since Larry will ignore the threat, what next for Searchlight? Larry’s address? A map? The London Left […]
[…] is new to me and, perhaps, to most Lobster readers. It is worthy of note as a splendid example of that relatively rare species, the British global conspiracy theory. Quite what Stuart’s ‘theory’ is, however, is less than clear. He writes variously of ‘International Finance-power capitalism”, “One World Monopolists”, “a World Federalist State”, the […]
[…] Didn’t you just know that Tavistock would be chucked in as well? Prominent among the author’s sources are Anthony Sutton, Gary Allen, of None Dare Call It Conspiracy fame, John Coleman, the Brit claiming to have been an MI6 officer, whose Committee of 300 – more utter tosh – is regularly quoted, and Eustace […]
[…] to be the standard populist, back-to-the-constitution stuff which now passes for thought on the further fringe of the U.S. right, liberally dosed with now rather archaic communist conspiracy stuff. In the pursuit of which, in an open letter to a U.S. senator, Coleman produces one of the great non-sequitors. ‘If you do not believe […]
[…] with the seriousness it deserved. Information which has been collected since then means that its recent publication will make it an important lead in untangling the undoubted conspiracy formed around Agca’s “confessions”. The tale begins in 1981 when Ciro Cirillo, the Christian Democrat leader in Naples was kidnapped by the Red Brigades. Cirillo was […]
