[…] Richard Viguerie, who was responsible for the European direct mailing campaign, is regarded as the Godfather of the New Right. He is the former fund-raiser for George Wallace and was the editor of the rabid Conservative Digest. His direct mail organisation dispatched anywhere between 7 and 9 million letters and raised three million dollars […]
[…] and French leftwingers and I can assure you that we never talked to the ‘UCA’ which existed only in the imagination of the Lisburn Disinf machine – Wallace and Railton. With regards to the BICOs, there were at most six of them and they did fuck all except produce a few slim pamphlets – […]
[…] on a much more militant (i.e. military) level. It offered thinly veiled ‘private sector’ cover and included CIO labour executives and the publisher of Readers Digest, DeWitt Wallace, on its board. Like the British League for European Freedom, the American National Committee for a Free Europe (NCFE) had a ‘sister organisation’. It too was […]
[…] we get four pages on MI5 tagged on, a quick skim across Massiter, Bettaney, Charles Elwell – and thence into British Briefing, David Hart etc. (And Colin Wallace was not ‘a former officer in Army Intelligence’; and has not, to my knowledge, suggested that the League had office space in MI5 headquarters .

[…] Review of Books and Private Eye – and a selection from the Socialist Workers’ Party’s publications. The subject matter ranges from major pieces about Lockerbie and Colin Wallace, a collection of savage attacks on the Blair crew, through individual scandals (notably his brilliant assault on Jeffrey Archer in the Evening Standard and his account […]
[…] of Dorril and Ramsay (Smear! Wilson and the Secret State, London 1991), of David Leigh (The Wilson Plot, London 1988), or of Paul Foot (Who Framed Colin Wallace?, London 1988). Smear! might have appeared too late for Morgan to take account of; the same cannot be said for the other works. See, for example, […]
[…] classic IRD disinformation technique, described in use in Cyprus in the 1960s by Charles Foley in his book Legacy of Strife (2) and, more recently, by Colin Wallace working in Information Policy in Northern Ireland in the 1970s: show the dummies forgeries but don’t let them take them out of the room Finding MI6 […]
[…] the most likely culprit. These were not the normal anonymous note. Their construction and the use of an old typewriter is very reminiscent of similar documents Colin Wallace was putting together in Northern Ireland, on behalf of Information Policy, as part of Clockwork Orange. There is the same blend of known facts, intriguing new […]
[…] they had to educate themselves in the way that I was doing was unpalatable and I was quickly dropped. Another set of talks here are about Colin Wallace and Fred Holroyd and what they had to tell us about the state’s activities in Northern Ireland and the UK; and related to that are a […]
[…] is: how may of these people are Nasty Bastards? Thanks to Dorril, we are a step closer to finding out, though it will take another Massiter, a Wallace or a Holroyd to get inside the citadel. I have not sought to damn Silent Conspiracy with faint praise, I Hope. Dorril’s contribution to research in […]
