[…] fronted material from MI5’s F Branch. Some of its preoccupations are really quite bizarre. There is, for example, nearly a page about a sculpture of the late communist MP, Willie Gallagher. To whom could this conceivably be of interest outside Gallagher’s patch in West Fife? Information on and other copies of both British Briefing […]
Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke I.B.Tauris, London, 1992, £9.95. In his last paragraph the author concludes: ‘Books written about Nazi occultism between 1960 and 1975 were typically sensational and under-researched. A complete ignorance of the primary sources was common to most authors and inaccuracies and wild claims were repeated by each newcomer to the genre until an abundant … Read more
[…] link post-war anti-communism with the current anti-Muslim strategies in what the Bush regime has now designated as ‘the long war’ between ‘freedom’ and ‘totalitarianism’. Once it was communist totalitarianism and now it is Muslim totalitarianism: same struggle, different enemies. This is clearly going to be the new line: the struggle against totalitarianism that has […]
[…] Chapman Pincher subsequently stated the call was made by Victor Louis, the London Evening Standard’s Moscow correspondent; but the only evidence adduced was that Louis was a communist and therefore, one supposes, capable of anything.(5) Earlier this year my annotated examination of the JFK assassination paperwork generated by the FBI’s London office was published […]

Curtis takes as his starting point the fact that while the ‘ communist threat’ has disappeared, the actions of the US and its major flunkey, the UK, remain unchanged. In other words, whatever the diplomats at the time thought […]
[…] our propaganda and study the Russian Intelligence Service (RIS) and local left activity. But Beck learns that by the 1960s RIS had long since ceased using foreign Communist Parties for espionage. In Havana he manages to identify the local KGB chief, but that’s about all, even after endless tailing. Because CIA chiefs are so […]
[…] I took no more notice, except to recount the story as a funny joke, until Will Warren visited me soon afterwards. Will had come out of the Communist Party at the same time as Newton and told me that his divisional committee of the party had once devoted a whole meeting to discussing whether […]
[…] be what you would expect from something published by the NISC (President Ray S. Cline). This is mainstream, (ie by contemporary American standards centre-right) academic, orthodox anti- Communist, anti-Soviet, anti-left material. The single issue we have carries a long review of a book purporting to show that the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is […]
[…] may explain what appear to be errors. The Pinay Circle is an informal group which meets twice a year in different locations. It includes conservative and anti- communist politicians, journalists, bankers etc., and occasional guests, all of whom originally gravitated around former French President Pinay. A meeting took place at the Madison Hotel, Washington, […]
