[…] which exonerated the Contras from involvement in drug-trafficking.(2) My researches into U.S. government involvement with drug-traffickers date back to 1970 when I wrote a book, The War Conspiracy, about the origins of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. I returned to this topic yet again in 1986, when I noticed that certain Cuban exiles […]
[…] get the name of the former D-G of MI5 wrong, calling him Maurice Hanley! If the Healey faction of the WRP have any evidence on the alleged conspiracy to destabilize the WRP it is not here. Some years ago I spent an entertaining couple of hours with one of those named in this book […]
[…] by the right – all those elite planning groups, for example – and the authors feel obliged to admonish the reader that this is not about a conspiracy. Or rather it’s about lots of them: ‘Yes, they plan and organise with each other, but there is no secret conspiracy operating behind the visible front. […]
[…] unconvincing Where does this leave us? If the book cannot establish that Parsons is quite the scientific figure claimed, or that he was a victim of any conspiracy, what Carter does show is that all the ingredients of contemporary ‘New Age’ culture can be found in the US west coast in the 1940s: interest […]

The conspiracy theories described by Van Wynsberghe are to be rejected because their proponents disregard, or are ignorant of, the standard rules of inference and evidence. But the […]
[…] former CIA officer who led the break-in team into the Watergate. In a series of odd ‘newsletters’, written after Watergate (and virtually uncirculated), McCord put forward a conspiracy theory suggesting that the Rockefeller family was lunging for complete control over the government’s critical national security functions, using the Council on Foreign Relations and Henry […]
[…] the IHT version is longer and more detailed, and are trailers for Bower’s forthcoming Barbie: Butcher of Lyon. The Barbie episode has created considerable excitement in some conspiracy research circles in the US, where evidence of an enormous invisible Nazi sub-structure has long been sought. On that this writer is sceptical. There is no […]
[…] places Oswald on the 6th floor, the confession of Loy Factor in The Men on the Sixth Floor.(4) Factor also places Ruby and Oswald together in the conspiracy. Factor claimed to have been a member of the conspiracy, recruited as a marksman by a man he called ‘Wallace’. He identified his ‘Wallace’ as Malcolm […]
[…] is beyond the scope of this article, and may never be possible. Much of the activity of the anti-communist groups was clandestine: to fight the secret communist conspiracy — real or imaginary — they too operated in secret, set up cell structures. For example, there appears to be not a single academic article written […]
