[…] much more sinister, because concealed, Left — the Left of the sophisticated world government bureaucracy, with its tentacles of international finance and its highly matured machine of conspiracy and terror — a Left that is so adaptable in its guises that it can often look like the most Conservative and “patriotic” Right — to […]
[…] In the last few days of preparing this issue for the printer I was contacted by someone who claimed that he was the victim of a vast conspiracy – led, apparently by MI5 – which involved, inter alia, TV newsreaders watching and commenting on his life while he watched the news. He had gone […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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 […]

[…] 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 […]
[…] the effects of America’s anti-Soviet obsession on Italian politics and what stemmed from it: corruption of all institutions, including the Catholic Church; drugs, violence, terrorism and assassination; conspiracy, literally, as normal politics; disinformation by the barrow-load.
