[…] to win the Lockheed F-16 deal with Poland last week. Information from an official translator who has first-hand knowledge of various meetings… an aggressive campaign, including electronic surveillance to ensure that Lockheed, rather than Swedish/French rivals, won an order for fighter jets. This campaign included….if Lockheed’s offer was not successful, the US would block […]
[…] the government supported the US war in Vietnam; and on this the evidence is still ambiguous. It is true that British components of the Anglo-American intelligence and surveillance system, notably some GCHQ bases in the Far East, provided intelligence to the US. But despite a great deal of arm-twisting from LBJ, and despite Wilson’s […]
[…] the call-girl ring was, in fact, a CIA operation. The best he can offer is a series of claims which (to him) make it probable. “That the surveillance of the Columbia Plaza (site of the call-girl ring – RR) and the DNC was an intelligence operation mounted by the CIA is demonstrated by a […]
[…] in post-9/11 America, a report by the American Civil Liberties Union, describes how federal and state government officials, aided and abetted by the police, have used censorship, surveillance, detention, and force to clamp down on dissent since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Protesters in various parts of the country have been beaten, maced, and […]
[…] UK is no longer a world military power but merely a cash-strapped proxy for the US, dependent upon US weapons systems and intelligence from the US-dominated global surveillance system. (I don’t take seriously recent newspapers stories about the UK creating a defensive missile screen and building – or acquiring – new aircraft carriers.) He […]

He sees the burglary as a cover for other illegal activities being carried on in the same district: namely, a CIA-controlled surveillance of a call-girl set-up which is providing information on both Democrats and Republicans in Washington. Problems arose when the operation began to be threatened with exposure […]
[…] working with right-wing and racist organisations in operations against the civil rights movement; specifically that special forces personnel returning from Vietnam were assigned to carry out the surveillance of Dr. King and his colleagues in the days preceding his assassination. This is discussed in an interview with Mark Lane in Flatlands (see above) and […]
Reflections on the ‘cult of the offensive’: pre-emptive war, the Israel lobby and US military Doctrine In our book, Spies, Lies and the War on Terror,(1) a central theme is the ascendancy of pre-emptive war doctrine in US military strategy and its impact on public perceptions and the construction of political narrative. A parallel and […]
[…] the ADL with the Jewish community, Western Goals with the right, and PRA with the left. But by using the same methods of collecting information — garbage surveillance, infiltration of target groups, and the use of guilt-by-association in their propaganda — each of these three groups has perverted itself with clandestinism and denunciation for […]
[…] it surprising that, as far as I know, no one has interviewed Philip Agee in connection with Mexico. His CIA Diary (London 1975) provides revealing background material on the CIA in Mexico City, and particularly actions against Soviet and Cuban embassies including: photo and audio surveillance, and the use of the Mullen Agency for ‘cover’.
