The very idea of attempting ‘the politics of the CIA’, let alone getting as close as Perry has done to actually […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] Menzies before the war, but was frozen out by Churchill, who saw him as an appeaser and Germanophile, also claimed that he was the victim of a conspiracy and had been framed by covert supporters of the Cambridge Comintern, supporters who had, by the time of his trial and conviction for fraud in 1963, […]
[…] 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.

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.

[…] fact, it was meant to be satire, written not edited by Barbara Goodwin. It is thus an interesting new member of a very small category, the geopolitical conspiracy theory satire.
