[…] discussing the creation of the ‘architecture’ of the global economy by groups such as the elite planners of the 1920s? This is power analysis. This is C. Wright Mills or William Domhoff de nos jours. They trace the antecedents of the modern corporate-dominated world back to three elements in the 1920s: the beginnings of […]
Editorially First, most important, our thanks to those Lobster subscribers who responded to our appeal for money. Your response, and a bit of ‘consulting’ with Fleet St. on the content of Lobster 11, has halved our debts. We shall survive. It is tempting to say something about the developing crisis re the Wilson-MI5 story (Lobstergate?). […]
[…] the exiled MI5 whistle-blower, David Shayler, has added his tuppenyworth to the tabloid calls to ‘string ‘er up’, prompting the suspicion that he is more like Peter Wright (a bitter-and-twisted reactionary criticising MI5 from the right) than a principled whistle-blower such as Cathy Massiter. In truth, Letty Norwood did not give Stalin the bomb […]

[…] pages — private armies, rumours of coups and Heathrow manoeuvres, are all missing. And so on. There is a chapter on the ‘Wilson plots’ material — the Wright, Wallace story. There is a choice here. Either: it is splendid that an important, main-line political biographer like Pimlott includes such a chapter. Or: though Pimlott […]
[…] began briefing journalists. The pro-Angleton leaks led to the various books produced by the Angleton-influenced faction in the UK, notably those written by Chapman Pincher and Peter Wright, and oddities such as Edward Epstein’s Oswald-as-KGB Legend. The anti-Angleton leaks led to a number of books about Angleton – in this country Tom Mangold’s Cold […]
[…] connected to a loyalist feud. Edgar (29) was a leading figure in the Woodvale Defence Association which was founded by McKeague. He was a friend of Michael Wright, also dead. (See Lobster 3) Lt. Alan Gingles, ex UDR, who was blown up by a bomb he was planting in Mozambique in 1982, had been […]
[…] an indefatigable researcher, who has done his time in the Public Records office; but, without wishing to be unkind, there is a flavour here of what C.
