[…] amateur an operation and he listed 14 points which indicated it was unlikely I had any involvement with the KGB. Bill Colby (former Director of the CIA) and ex-CIA officer Philip Agee also agreed it would not be possible to say that the tradecraft in my case was exclusive to the KGB. The […]
[…] there would have been no Bloody Sunday. As I’ve explained elsewhere, the genesis of the Provisional IRA lies in the attempts by Fianna Fail (and possibly the CIA) to create right-wing death squads to neutralise the then Official IRA leadership.(19) However, the PIRA were transformed into a significant force by an inept state repression […]
[…] give one example, to show their methods – the deaths of the British journalist Jonathan Moyle in Chile, Ian Spiro, said to be working either for the CIA or MI6 – or both – and Abbie Hoffman. Moyle’s in there because he was interested, apparently, in some of the same people as Casolaro; and […]
[…] American academic writes a long piece bemoaning the inability of the US intelligence services to accurately predict world events. The latest example is from Allen Goodman (ex CIA) in Foreign Policy, Winter 1984/85. It’s the usual catalogue of disasters, and the usual catalogue of ignorance and self-deception.

(115) In January and February 1977, according to the New York and London Times, members or associates of the first five groups were arrested by Spanish […]
[…] so complicated and so much bigger than they would have needed for the purpose of providing a pretext for assaults on Afghanistan and Iraq. The discovery that CIA Director at the time, George Tenet, ‘forgot’ about two meetings with George Bush just before 9/11, one lasting most of the day, in Texas, leads Henshall […]
[…] the author of the following paragraph. “Geheim works closely with a network of publications in other countries that frequently carry Soviet disinformation themes, particularly directed against the CIA.
