[…] Commons: The law is fully adequate to enable action to be taken against all really dangerous activities. If believers in Fascist doctrine engage either simply or in conspiracy in subversive activities, or disturb the peace, they can be, and will be, dealt with firmly as law breakers.(26) In a sense, Ede was correct. The […]
[…] practice, as before, I publish what I have that interests me. This issue? The usual mixture: spies; history with parapolitics added; New Labour’s policies; state oppression; a conspiracy theory or two. The good old stuff. Or the same old same old? I can’t tell. I just hope it is an interesting read Pieces without […]
[…] detail the attempts to fix Stalker. It was nothing subtle: leaning on hookers to claim Stalker fathered their child; leaning on gay men to etc etc. This conspiracy – with MI5 – followed Stalker around. Alas he was a clean cop. ‘Special Branch’, as Prince calls him, even claims LSD was put into a […]
[…] Papacy to get diplomatic recognition for Croatia. The April mail-shot from The Keys of Peter — an eccentric but entertaining mixture of high Catholicism, anti-Masonic thought and conspiracy theories — contains one of the truly great rewrites of an author’s intentions. Of the Aarons and Loftus book about the collaboration between the Vatican and […]
[…] Donald Neff’s Warriors for Jerusalem. Of these three only Green’s book seems to have been published in the UK. And the list ought to contain Anthony Pearson’s Conspiracy of Silence (Quartet 1978) Pearson hasn’t exactly been visible since then. Anybody know where he is and doing what?

The received view is that after Kent’s arrest Churchill/MI5 used the Kent-Captain Ramsay connection as evidence of a more organised conspiracy than really existed – a pretext – and the whole lot of them, Mosley’s group, Ramsay’s group, the remnants of The Link etc, were all rounded […]
[…] fascinating. The book is also worth reading as a powerful moral indictment of American capitalism and foreign policy more generally. On ‘9/11’ it even hints at a conspiracy. (The administration may have known it was coming but let it happen to give them the excuse to attack Iraq. It was all part of the […]
[…] the failure of his children to back up his alibi. Marita Lorenz, former lover of Fidel Castro-turned-CIA-agent, testified that she had been part of the Kennedy assassination conspiracy along with Hunt, another Watergate ‘plumber’ Frank Sturgis, and some Cubans. But her first-hand knowledge of the assassination is nil. She left the group in Dallas […]
[…] 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. This book is full of incredible stories, leads, hints and allegations across 30 years of post-WW2 history. No […]
