[…] is rarely far away (see Lobster 47). To complete the picture, we should also mention that MacShane is on the policy council of the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) whose chair in the House of Lords is old MI6 hand Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale. LFI It proved to be a heavy security presence in […]
[…] (and other West German intelligence agencies) is provided by Walde pp.79-105. The best sketch of Mossad’s structure and functioning is probably the CIA’s own leaked 1979 analysis, Israel: Foreign Intelligence and Security Services in Counterspy (May-June 1982) pp.34-54. Most of the other works on the Israeli intelligence services are ‘hagiographic’. The NATO secret service […]
[…] Germany, Great Britain and the United States. In his 1975 autobiography (published in Holland) Einthoven states that he was lobbying for support in France, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Israel and even Indonesia. Personal links were developed with the Bilderberg group. In the The Black-Pincered Crab by E. Verhoeven and F. Uytterhagen (Holland 1982) the authors […]
[…] essential struggle against terrorism by attacking Iraq? Would we thus turn the Middle East into a set of friendly democratic capitalist societies ready to make peace with Israel, or into a region of sullen humiliation, a fertile and almost inexhaustible recruiting ground for further terrorists for whom Britain is a main target?'(27) This campaign […]

What made it possible for these groups to cooperate with each other was their shared hatred of Israel and resentment towards the two ‘imperialist’ superpowers.

Before long, Bernays was helping Israel to lobby the US military and recasting India as a worthy recipient of $1bn-worth of aid. He became the propaganda mastermind in overthrowing Guatemala’s elected government […]
[…] warning against a Russian-German coalition likely influenced British foreign policy leading up to August 1914. Another piece of the puzzle assembled by Preparata is the mysterious Israel Helphand (also Helfand), otherwise known as Parvus, a well-regarded Marxist author, trusted associate of Trotsky and key mediator between the Kaiser and the Bolsheviks who arranged, […]
[…] a spook briefing which began, “The terrorist who hi-jacked a 24,000 ton passenger ship is to plan and command a massive revenge attack by the PLO on Israel and her allies.” May 8th 1988, Sunday Express, Massie tells us that “Mrs Thatcher has given the security services two months to crack down on IRA […]
[…] use the same methods against the Palestinians, although with considerably greater firepower. It is worth making the point here that anyone who compares the collective punishment that Israel recently inflicted on Gaza with the Holocaust, not only shows a shameful ignorance of the horrors of the Holocaust, but also misses the real colonial antecedents […]
[…] Islam. The hardliners will do almost anything to block what they see as ‘appeasement’.
