[…] German officials, who had extensive knowledge of the Grey Wolves, expressed doubts about “the reputation and efficiency of the Italian security services and referred to an ‘intentional disinformation campaign by the Italian authorities’ “.(Guardian 5 January 1983). On one level it was to publicise the ‘all terrorism is KGB-inspired’ line of Crozier and his […]
[…] likely candidate seems to be Vladimir Chuchuken, a KGB agent at the UN in New York from 1962 to 1977’ (p609). Chuchukin is named as a KGB disinformation officer in Barron’s previous book The KGB (1974) (p212). Surely the FBI had more sense than to recruit a disinformation expert… Just to point out that […]
[…] versions to produce a new synthesis — giving four, perhaps five versions in all. Authorless, drifting around the fringes of our culture, Gemstone has become a wonderful disinformation vehicle, available to anyone to add to, modify, reprint, recirculate. The last version I saw was still about 95% Roberts, but I expect that one day, […]
[…] groups, all for £1.00 (in the U.K.), from TW, Box NDF, 72 Radford Rd., Hyson Green, Nottingham NG7. Shot by both sides: a response to paranoia and disinformation, by Paul Cox Cox was in the BNP when young, changed his mind and has since been researching the British right for a book. He contacted […]
[…] Cecil, who worked with SIS in the 1940s, is short and uncontroversial until the end, when it states that his autobiography, My Silent War (1968) ‘contains much disinformation’, and fingers for special criticism Philby’s ‘untrue’ claim that the Foreign Office and SIS ‘began, as early as 1943’ to divert efforts from defeating the Nazis […]
[…] the Gulf (pp. 45-46). Reading between those particular lines is not easy. There is no hint of guilty knowledge, but there is a hint of ignorance (or disinformation) in the reference to the August 4 ‘clash’ which likely never occurred. The degree of reticence shown by Annex A could be construed as ominous, but […]
[…] take a bow Bruce Kent, Tony Benn and Alan Plater. Same old same old With material running from the IMF 1976 incident through to (a snippet on) disinformation in the British UFO world, here’s another pretty normal issue of Lobster. If there are those who don’t find the economic politics of the 1970s of […]
[…] then ex-Prime Minister. (p. 320 ) In the House of Commons on 14 December 1977 Stephen Hastings MP, a former MI6 officer, using Parliamentary privilege, ran the disinformation attributed to the former Czech intelligence officer Joseph Frolik that a group of British trade unions leaders were ‘agents’ of Soviet intelligence. Frolik was being run […]
[…] very good book. (An opinion Victorian shares, incidentally.) If this book (along with his Channel 4 TV programme on the same subject) is part of some CIA disinformation operation in tandem with the official disclosure (and official rubbishing) of the Remote Viewing program, it’s too clever for me. After interviewing most of the people […]
[…] the CIA. Collins Radio was one of the many sources of ‘cover’ used by the CIA and the Reader’s Digest has been extensively used to run CIA disinformation. (63) David Pelham James — a Conservative M.P. for fourteen years, James was a Director of the Catholic publishing house, Hollis and Carter, the publishers of […]
