[…] the financial institutions of the country. There was the Freeman-Jays affair, in which Rohan Jays, a supposed NZ SIS man (who we now know to have been MI6) passed a police report from SIS files to Auckland businessman Paul Freeman, who embarrassed Labour Prime Minister Bill Rowling by handing him the papers in public. […]
[…] Sunday Times, and have already read there. America good! Bin Laden bad! Stella Rimington a bold rebel! Carlos the Jackal bad! Look at this picture of the MI6 building! Look at another picture of the gates of same! On pp. 20-21 an unnamed EYE SPY! reporter attends a (paid!) press conference of Sir Steven […]
[…] with the cooperation/protection of the Bulgarian state. It is an unexceptional picture. Intelligence services all over the world are plugged into the drugs/guns business. Even our own MI6 tried it, as the Howard Marks story revealed some time ago. (3) That the Bulgarians should be so engaged should surprise only the innocent, and shock […]
[…] we can all study it — they gave it to a tame historian, hoping to bask in lots of favourable publicity while helping Mitrokhin to supplement his MI6 pension. The spooks’ chosen ghost-writer, Christopher Andrew, is a disingenuous creep who has sold out his academic integrity to slavishly toe the secret state’s party line […]
[…] the other hand, maybe he didn’t trust Mr Blair and went to the meetings wired. In Lobster 9, in 1985, Ashdown was named as having been in MI6 by Steve Dorril, in the first batch of what eventually became the Who’s Who of the British Secret State. Though I cannot remember why Dorril thought […]
[…] but, despite the usual shower of interesting fragments, mostly it is junk. Pincher’s primary strategy is clear enough. During the mid 1970s bureaucratic wars between MI5 and MI6, Maurice Oldfield, Chief of MI6, used Pincher to denigrate MI5, notably via a couple of stories supporting Harold Wilson’s claims that he was the victim of […]
[…] reliability was questioned by the Defence: he was known to exaggerate and is well-known for seeking publicity. He has also been a public supporter of MI5 and MI6, and he admitted he was paid a pension of £1,500 a month after he defected. The Defence called an ex-CIA Station Chief, referred to as Mr […]
[…] Telegraph Coughlin falsely attributed a story about the son of Colonel Gadaffi to a ‘British banking official’ when it had been given to him by officers of MI6. In the course of losing the subsequent libel battle, it transpired MI6 had been supplying Coughlin with material for years. So who in September raised this […]
[…] a Polish military leader who wanted the West to back a Polish exile army. (15) Captain Henry Kerby, who arranged Pomeroy’s meeting with Anders, was a former MI6 officer and Russian expert turned Tory parliamentarian. Kerby, in turn, maintained long-standing close ties to Knupffer. (16) In his first article for Task Force in December […]
[…] as the ‘enemy within’. We can reverse engineer the briefings to see MI5 and France as sharing a common ideology with US homeland security. (The exclusion of MI6 may be an oversight or meaningful.) This is the agenda of the international ‘war on terror’ lobby in a nutshell but it may have overplayed its […]
