[…] 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 […]

[…] the loony James Angleton, came to believe that Prime Minister Harold Wilson was a Soviet agent; and CIA counter-intelligence was the ultimate source of much of the disinformation and smears about him and those around him in the middle 1970s. This may have been pay-back for Wilson’s temerity in refusing to bend. It is […]

[…] 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.
