[…] is a very complex subject which really has no place here. However, at some level “sexual politics” does seem to me to be true, does describe something real. Some kinds of generalisations about your average British Movement thug’s sexual/emotional capabilities and inclinations just are going to be true. In this kind of framework, what […]
[…] sections of it. To the surprise of no-one who had read, say, Alfred McKoy’s The Politics of Heroin in South East Asia, exactly the same thing happened, for exactly the same reasons, when the Reagan administration set about destroying the Sandinista regime. It was simplicity itself: planes flew from America carrying supplies for the […]
The British Right – scratching the surface Another of the right-wing groups about which we ought to know more is the Society for Individual Freedom (SIF henceforth). Neither Labour Research nor Searchlight have ever paid much attention to SIF (or, perhaps, just didn’t get much information). Searchlight, for example, in a brief paragraph in […]
[…] and partly the whole Cambridge “moles’ saga from the point of view of those who were recruiting and running them. The result is a heavy shower of new bits of information. So, for example, if you ever wondered how much the Soviet Union was paying Guy Burgess to spy in the 1930s, or how […]
[…] the Soviet/USSR apologisms, but at the cost of £1.00, this publication represents astonishing value for money. In case your ordinary bookshop can’t get it the publisher is: Harney and Jones, 119 Falcon Road, London SW11.

[…] Dowling, the Sunday Mirror correspondent there from 1970-74. Dowling was reluctant to talk much about that period of his life but, yes, he remembered Wallace, and k new about the psy ops unit Information Policy. He mentioned a novel about his time there he had written. It had caused trouble for him, been withdrawn […]
[…] 1969 and 1986, received funding from the CIA and that the accounting structure of the Movement was designed to hide this fact. When Mr. Mullen interviewed me for the purposes of his article he did not put to me any questions relating to the CIA. Had he done so I would have categorically denied […]
[…] about this: we’re not making enough money and hope that our readers will not be put off. (The original Lobster was 16 pages and cost 50p. 75p for 32 pages still seems reasonable value). As the list of shops on the rear cover shows our distribution is slowly expanding – due entirely to the […]
[…] adversary is inherent to the British approach.’ In his interesting short history of anthropology’s relationship to US overt and covert foreign policy in the 20th century, McFate notes that the US military’s need of anthropologists is stymied somewhat by the state of American anthropology after the Vietnam War. ‘Rejecting anthropology’s status as the handmaiden […]
[…] there is also a scattering of mildly interesting bits and pieces on intelligence methods and technology, especially satellites. For the trainspotters amongst us there are lots of new names – though most are in the form Anthony X. There is also quite an interesting account of Whitehall’s handling of the operation, most of which […]
