[…] 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 […]

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 […]
[…] Probably not, even in the best of circumstances; certainly not when the document in question happened to be lying about in an unguarded room in Baghdad. Would MI6 think it worthwhile fabricating such a document to nail Galloway? Of course. However we regard Galloway there is no doubt that the Telegraph has been used […]

Alien baloney In Nexus vol 6 no 2 is another dollop of what seems to me to be obvious disinformation about UFOs and the US government. Another batch of MJ-12 documents have surfaced in America, given to a researcher called Timothy Cooper by a (now conveniently dead) source. Nexus prints some largish chunks from them. … Read more
