[…] actions (37 pp.) GAO/OSI-94-2, November 1993. Examines 1) the need for information privacy in computer and communications systems, such as encryption, to mitigate the threat of economic espionage; 2) the development of cryptographic standards for the protection of sensitive unclassified information, and the policies of the NSA, DoD, National Institute of Standards and Technology […]
[…] we can skim across them even more quickly. MI5, encouraged by a section of the CIA, began ploughing through the PLP and Wilson’s entourage looking for Soviet espionage. And found none, incidentally. On Gaitskell’s death the leadership of the American tendency passed to Roy Jenkins and its focus shifted to the Common Market. Members […]
[…] for Action. PO Box 3069, London SW9 8LU; single issues (including postage) U.K. 1.60; U.S. $4.00, Europe 2.00. Undercover, the British glossy magazine devoted to ‘cover ups, espionage, covert action’ duly folded after five issues. Which was two more than I expected. There just is no general interest in these fields in this country, […]
[…] Moscow and asked him about a British electronics engineer named Michael John Smith, who, in November 1993, was sentenced to 25 years after being found guilty of espionage for the KGB at the end of the 1970s and beginning of 1980s.

They want to use drugs for warfare, for espionage, for brainwashing, for control.” (p155) In May 1963 Pinchot told Leary that her love affair was over. It had been revealed at a party to a […]
[…] plots which now seem more fantasies than fully realisable attempts to overthrow the existing regime and institute some form of republic. Students of the arcane arts of espionage, agents provocateurs and of secret policing will find much of interest in the book. However, somewhere in that dark and unknowable place between the original pitch […]
[…] exact opposite of the picture given by Peter Wright on p. 359 of Spycatcher, of the 1970s expansion of the counter-subversive F-branch at the expense of counter- espionage K branch. But there are lots of things missing. This is the list I compiled on first reading. Missing are: his failed Freedom Blue Cross venture; […]
[…] to get it so wrong, or offer explanations for their false statements to Parliament and public. To this extent, by not sufficiently documenting a proven case of espionage against the late Princess, when its remit specifically included claims of surveillance mounted by the intelligence agencies against the late Princess, Operation Paget may be regarded […]
[…] to assert that, excisions notwithstanding, it is ‘a comprehensive history’ and ‘a candid chronology’ which reveals ‘the grisly truth’ about still unexplained failings in operations against Soviet espionage.
