Lobster Issue 42 (Winter 2001/2)

Russ Kick (ed.), Disinformation, 2001, $19.95, ISBN 0-9664100-7-6. Available from http://store.disinfo.com.

[…] has begun to resemble the literature of parapolitics. Increasingly the story is of the activities of putative agents of state, the intelligence and security agencies, and alleged disinformation and smear campaigns.

Alien baloney In Nexus vol 6 no 2 is another dollop of what seems to me to be obvious disinformation about UFOs and the US government. Another batch of MJ-12 documents have surfaced in America, given to a researcher called Timothy Cooper by a (now conveniently dead) source. Nexus prints some largish chunks from […]

In this book Crozier reworks in much greater detail some of the sections of his memoir, Free Agent, describing three lawsuits in […]
