[…] obviously controversial, there is a huge body of literature, just on the Balfour Declaration alone. What follows (Section 2) deals mainly with the British imperialist conspiracy. Much disinformation still persists, such as Lloyd Georges story that it was a reward to Weizmann for his acetone production process as a contribution to the war effort. […]
[…] hysteria on the British right in the 1970s about the threat from the left and the belief of Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson that there was a disinformation campaign against him and his government. He was right: the hysteria and the campaign were largely the work of serving or former intelligence officers. We had […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] the Round Robin suggested that. He wanted MPs to feel that the party was behind Thatcher. I believe that much of what GKY said and did was disinformation. He wanted to create the impression he led a large, powerful group in the Tory Party, which wasn’t true. Until ‘New Labour’, the Tory Party dominated […]
[…] CIA. Insofar as this view is perhaps not entirely consistent with the facts its propagation is a form of psychological warfare waged against the American people (‘ disinformation’ is the term of art), corrupting the processes of a democracy. Most thoroughly denied, minimized, shoved into a drawer while attention is directed elsewhere, are Helms’s […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] on first reading. Missing are: his failed Freedom Blue Cross venture; his role in James Goldsmith’s Now!; BOSS; James Angleton and his fantasies; his role in the disinformation put out in the early 1980s that the KGB was running world terrorism; the Israeli connection; Crozier’s financial funnel, the International Freedom Fund Establishment. The central […]
