[…] catch up with it until tipped off about it by Roger Sandell. Subtitled “Things Japanese and Provocative Information”, Survival is a bizarre mixture of anti-Semitism, US far-right conspiracy theories (mostly reprints from Spotlight), some of the freakier bits of the US Christian (sic) right, with large doses of psychological gibberish, misinformation about AIDS and […]
[…] when the in-coming Know-nothing administration decided they would impose their childish notions about the world onto the Agency and get it to produce ‘intelligence’ to support their conspiracy theories about the ‘communist menace’. The very idea of attempting ‘the politics of the CIA’, let alone getting as close as Perry has done to actually […]
[…] that the paymaster for the hit, codenamed ‘Troit’, set Oswald up as a patsy. Who was ‘Troit’? McDonald ‘reveals’ in his later book LBJ And The JFK Conspiracy, that the KGB planned the assassination between 1961 and 1963. (Interestingly enough, McDonald’s co-author, Robin Moore, produced the film MacArthur with funds from the Unification Church […]
[…] media plays a role as the primary informer of the citizen. The ongoing Di show The report of Operation Paget, the Metropolitan Police’s investigation of the Di conspiracy theories, available on the Net in PDF form (see Terry Hanstock’s ‘Re :’ in this issue), is worth looking at.

The authors of the Cocaine Conspiracy caption the photograph “Just good friends’. Although they do not add a question mark at the end, it is clear from the tone of the book […]
[…] of political equivalent of Mary Whitehouse.'(p. 154) This may be a rather better comparison than Magee realised or intended, for Mrs Whitehouse, like Crozier, is an enthusiastic conspiracy theorist. (6) Crozier’s beliefs are immune from reality. On p. 150 he tells us that ‘socialism….. is by its nature irreversible’, something of great comfort, no […]
[…] intentions and consequences that the state’s legal-rational precepts attempt to inscribe. The outputs that emerge are not always those envisaged by policy-makers. This is not necessarily a conspiracy agenda or intention behind the uses and abuses of political power. Nor are they the inevitable outcome of Britain’s particular constitutional arrangements. Thus the secret state […]
[…] him from talking about the link. A September 16, 1986 affidavit by Paul R.Grand, attorney for former Khashoggi counsel Samuel Evans in a New York arms sales conspiracy case related to Irangate, contends that the 1981 Hashemi shipments had been secretly approved by the Carter Administration (Washington Times, 12/17/87).
