[…] probably most Japanese as well. This is a Japan, as Whiting describes in abundant detail, made up of ‘gangsters, corrupt entrepreneurs, courtesans, seedy sports promoters, streetwise opportunists, intelligence agents, political fixers and financial manipulators’. More to the point, he also traces the history of the complicated entanglement of the US government, or more specifically […]

[…] both the value of his work and his fatal flaw. Strange to say, whereas an IWW pamphlet contained a touching dedication to ‘our constant companions of the intelligence services’, Donovan Pedelty writes as if these political Peeping Toms of the State did not even exist. By accident, a letter I wrote more than 30 […]
[…] that has been used to cloak research and applications of mind-control activity (emphasis added).

There is some speculation about the allegiance of Lord Rothschild which has been floating around […]
[…] This is inevitable. The world changes, priorities change and the people writing for Lobster change. When Lobster began in 1983 its chief focus was information on the intelligence and security services. There was almost no information on them in those days and every scrap seemed important. These days such information is available in abundance […]
[…] to obscure the details of a picture we knew already: when the interests of an American company were threatened by a modest reforming government, the US military, intelligence and propaganda organisations – the network detailed by Lucas – stepped in, fabricated a ‘Soviet threat’ with a little help from their assets in the media, […]
[…] chance meeting between the two comes to the attention of MI5, and Blunt is instructed to befriend Losey and monitor his activities on behalf of the American intelligence services. In doing so, he comes to admire Losey’s principled political views and his refusal to name names, unlike many of his compatriots. As their friendship […]
