... by the Katz and Norton-Tayor article. I never met Rusbridger but enjoyed his letters and shared his lack of regard for the intelligence and security services. His disparaging critics on the right, however, were almost certainly correct in claiming that he had few sources within the spook community. His The Intelligence Game (I.B.Tauris, 1991) was an amusing and witty read, but showed few signs of clandestine sources. Rusbridger would have been amused to learn that since his death he has been reported to have been writing books on the Hilda ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 28) December 1994 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 28 The View from the Bridge A spook, moi? One of the formative experiences of my youth- and we're talking early 1960s here, beatnik days, when wearing a narrow leather tie was pretty hip- was going to the Mound in Edinburgh on Sunday nights. The Mound is like Hyde Park Corner in London, a place where local by-laws allow anyone to get up and say their piece. The people I remember most clearly are ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 44) Winter 2002 Last¦ Contents¦ Next Issue 44 Spook PR Corinne Souza Public relations, more usually referred to these days as 'communications', is a method used by organisations to explain themselves or issues, or sell a product/message/strategy. To create/manipulate their audiences' various external environments so that these can prevail, sophisticated organisations firstly recognise competitor or negative PR; secondly, they counter it. The means by which they do so include tactics such as photo-opportunities, ...

... , it is we who are mistaken. In 1981 I agreed with the anonymous columnist in the Leveller, but now I see exactly why they wanted this bit cut: the covert role of the intelligence and security services in British politics is the big secret. The spook in politics That covert role is one of the things fleetingly glimpsed in MI5's pamphlet The Security Service (36 pages, 4.95 from HMSO). In the page and a half long 'Outline history of the Security Service' we find this: 'The atmosphere of Cold ...

... scares that were run against the Labour Government-- the Agee-Hosenball expulsions and the Aubery, Berry and Campbell (ABC) trial for example. And these were mostly triggered by the fall-out from Watergate and Vietnam in the United States. The people in London who went spook hunting in 1975/6 did so because the idea had been suggested to them by the example of spook hunters in the United States, notably John Marks. But since the Arabs believe in conspiracies.... For the first time I can remember an ...

... Conservative MP, former junior Foreign Office Minister. Unclassified Unclassified rather grandly calls itself the 'Newspaper of the Association of National Security Alumni' and is actually a magazine/newsletter run by and for the radical end (sic) of the former U.S. foreign service and spook world. It is edited by David McMichael, who quit the CIA in the mid 1980s over the distortion of the intelligence process forced on the Agency by the U.S. administration's demands that the 'facts' be subservient to the policy goals of the war against Nicaragua ...

... bastards is my view, but I may be prejudiced. This new book is of the same high standard as Dorril's other books, but I can safely say that MI6 will lose no sleep over this one. Lobster readers belong to the cognoscenti in their knowledge of spook filth and, whilst this is a very useful contribution to the literature- particularly for the general reader- there is nothing particularly new that has not been published elsewhere. Where are the British Government's evil machinations, which brought on Africa's black holocaust in Nigeria with ...

... $50. Lobster will be running an extract in number 26. Greenwood Press are no strangers to the JFK case. They published Guth and Wrone's magisterial bibliography The Assassination of John F. Kennedy: A Comprehensive Historical and Legal Bibliography 1963-79 (1980). A spook joke (and a good one, at that) Many prisoners do not fare too well in the hands of Shin Bet, an [Israeli] agency with a reputation for physically abusing suspects, especially Arabs, to obtain confessions. A joke that made the ...

... .Freedom and the Security Services- a Labour Party Discussion Document( 1.50 plus postage from The Labour Party, 150 Walworth Road, London, SE17 1JT) With this the Labour Party has taken a significant step towards the public recognition that, as far as the spook industry is concerned, the view of this society long held by its left-wing is fundamentally correct. Coups, bugging, surveillance, wiretapping, Special Branch, moles- the first 60% of this reads like a precis of State Research.(With some conspicuous ...

'Analysis' is understanding why this is not spelt 'Ann': the Queen is Head of the Anglican, not Roman, ...
