[…] Department 4 of the Central Directorate – otherwise known as the Domestic Wet Operations Division of the CIA.’ ‘Wet operations’ used to the euphemism used by the KGB for assassination. Do we really believe the CIA uses the same euphemism? Do we believe the CIA has anything named anything remotely like that? It might […]
[…] kept warm since the late 1970s when it was put together by anti-communists seeking ways of keeping the Soviet ‘threat’ alive under conditions of détente (the world–terror–sponsored–by–the– KGB thesis) and by Israeli propagandists looking for sticks with which to beat the Palestinians. And since then this ‘threat’ has worked a treat, ramifying and multiplying […]
During the current farcical trial of Ali Agca a most interesting snippet appeared in the press which looks like finally seeing off the alleged ‘Bulgarian connection.’ Signor Giovanni Pandico, a jailed former member of the upper echelons of the Naples-based Camorra, claimed that it had played a part in convincing Agca to accept the role […]
[…] on 20 August 2001 Gorbachev attributed the coup to a wire-tapped conversation he had with other Soviet politicians in which he proposed removing the head of the KGB and Minister of Defence.(7) Which sounds a good deal more like the world we know.

[…] are running. Over at the Reader’s Digest Edward J. Epstein’s preposterous book Legend is about to be published, reaffirming the Warren Commission’s central findings — with a KGB twist added.

[…] disinformation for profit. In this hothouse atmosphere paranoia develops and conspiracies are everywhere, often inspired by supposed colleagues. Just as James Angleton was accused of being a KGB agent because of his overly close relationship to Golitsyn, so Lundy was smeared because of his working relationship with Garner. It is not a game for […]
[…] Bookdealer, ‘we can supply anything you want on espionage, and much more.’ Over the years, he did! Hammersmith Books provided books to many customers world-wide, including the KGB ‘illegal’ Gordon Lonsdale, who, when he was in Winson Green Prison, began to write a definitive assessment of what SOE had actually achieved in World War […]
[…] making concessions to the Palestinians. On the evidence presented by Chamish this is about as accurate as saying that JFK was murdered by Oswald working for the KGB. Chamish shows in some detail that the Rabin killing was a variation on the Sirhan Sirhan attack on Robert Kennedy. Yes, Rabin’s ‘assassin’ was firing at […]
