[…] view was put in words to them.’ Why did Kennedy decline to reveal his political persuasions? Did he have something to conceal? In 1964 Norris was the Conservative candidate at Orpington. With Ross and Kennedy he was probably a Conservative in 1958. However there is evidence which suggests that they also belonged to another […]
[…] Given the choice between a multi-racial, socially progressive Labour Party and nuclear interests, there wasn’t one. Now why was it that Matrix Chambers chose to represent the conservative interest in this legal conflict? To defend human rights? Can they hack it? An interesting British connection of Kissinger Associates is Hakluyt and Company Ltd, a […]
[…] coup when Neil was working for the Economist, a regular outlet for IRD briefings. Tom Spencer MEP, RIP About a month before the political demise of the Conservative MEP and former leader of the Conservative group of MEPs, Tom Spencer, I was asked by a researcher at the European Parliament what I knew about […]

[…] some research on him, which was published in a campus alternative paper I edited. Here was a multi-millionaire entrepreneur who was well-connected with corporate elites, and very conservative, with a CIA-on-campus issue thrown in for good measure.
