[…] Gladio network story — which is a chapter in this book.(1) What do we know of NATO intelligence-gathering and covert operations? Is there “NATO Intelligence’ somewhere? (Brian Crozier — writing as “John Rossiter’ — has NATO intelligence in his novel The Andropov Deception.) If so, where? How organised? How managed? Second, if James Angleton’s […]
[…] preceding Hasting’s statement to the House of Comments which are documented in Smear!, show that the conspiracy theories of the subversive-hunters of the British right – Brian Crozier et al – had ‘captured’ a significant section of the leadership of the Conservative Party which had actually tried to use them to damage the elected […]
[…] Teacher has a French-language book on the Pinay Circle out some time next year, and an English-language version should follow. (In a telephone conversation with me Brian Crozier described our version of Pinay as a mixture of fact and fiction. I invited him to correct any errors we had made but have heard nothing.) […]
[…] I was talking to. Under a pseudonym Morris wrote a couple of prescient articles in the early 1980s about the anti-subversion crowd which had gathered round Brian Crozier and ISC. It is those which should be remembered rather than his uninteresting book about Philby. John McGuffin died in April. I came across McGuffin as […]
[…] Michael Ledeen, Ariel Merari, Robert Moss, Claire Sterling, Maurice Tugwell and Paul Wilkinson. British propaganda institutes dealt with include the Institute for the Study of Conflict ( Crozier), the Institute for the Study of Terrorism (Becker/Chalfont), Control Risks Janke/Goss/Clutterbuck) and the Research Foundation for the Study of Terrorism (Wilkinson). Non-UK groups include the Centre […]
[…] editor has either excluded this material or he was conscientious enough not to record it. Tantalisingly, on 2 June 1986, however, he wrote: ‘Meeting with conspirators, Brian Crozier, Julian Lewis and a man from Aims of Industry whose name I’ve forgotten and another man who I never identified. How to make the public realise […]
[…] an orthodox biography doesn’t make it. None of the paramilitary and psy-ops events of the 1974-79 period which led to her 1979 election victory are mentioned. Brian Crozier is referred to twice, once as a ‘disillusioned socialist intellectual’ (p. 372) – an absurd description for a man who, by his own admission, spent virtually […]
[…] Senate Report No. 94-755, Foreign and Military Intelligence, p. 192. CIA-sponsored channels also disseminated the Chinese arms story at this time inside the United States: e.g. Brian Crozier, ‘Indonesia’s Civil War,’ New Leader, November 1965, p. 4. Mortimer, p. 386. The Evans and Novak column coincided with the surfacing of the so called ‘Gilchrist […]
[…] include the fact a largish chunk of their subject matter has, in effect, been covertly controlled by the British state. Which is more or less what Brian Crozier was telling us in his memoir, Free Agent, wasn’t it? Notes See Tom Easton’s piece in Lobster 36. Dodds-Parker was also busy in the 1960s peddling […]
[…] Report” drew an average of 50% of its material from the IRD’. (p. 27) Presumably this refers to the Economist’s Foreign Report, among whose editors were Brian Crozier and Robert Moss. ‘Crucial to the IRD’s success was its relationship with the BBC.’ (p. 29) What is wrong with Mayhew’s account is his ignorance of […]
