[…] example, to show their methods – the deaths of the British journalist Jonathan Moyle in Chile, Ian Spiro, said to be working either for the CIA or MI6 – or both – and Abbie Hoffman. Moyle’s in there because he was interested, apparently, in some of the same people as Casolaro; and Spiro’s in […]
[…] subtle than that. In any case, the JIC precisely certified as ‘genuine’ intelligence which was ‘false and dubious’: it has almost all had to be ‘withdrawn’ by MI6. () Indeed, as the Australian analyst Rob Barton has told us, the JIC Chair, John Scarlett was still trying to get ‘false and dubious’ intelligence put […]
[…] should be said that IFF Director, Marc Gordon, denies this. David Owen’s memoir, Time To Declare (Michael Joseph, London, 1991) will be remembered for chapter 15, ‘ MI6, GCHQ and the Falklands’. For the first time a senior British politician acknowledges the existence of these agencies and talks (a little) about their work. Owen’s […]
[…] intelligence force, answerable to the Home Secretary, freeing SIS to continue with its core functions, answerable to the Foreign Secretary’. This would avoid a ‘wholesale take-over of MI6 priorities by MI5-led anti-terrorism operations,’ which, he said, many intelligence operatives fear.Note: In the ‘old’ days spook lobbying and territorial warfare were invisible.

The NF Constitutional Movement were well represented at such gatherings, and George Kennedy Young (former deputy head of MI6), who had almost succeeded in taking over the Monday Club a decade earlier, was heavily involved in Tory Action.

While MI6 might enjoy itself understanding the intricacies of Pathan tribal politics, it was MI5 that was going to have to pick up the pieces. As we move […]
[…] gradually through the ranks of associates at Stoy. Given this, it is possible that he was merely a conduit for Cold War funds from other sources, either MI6 or, more likely, the CIA. Berlusconi Andersen’s government contacts don’t stop there. With the election of Silvio Berlusconi in 1994, Italy nearly became the first Western […]
[…] anxious to prevent Soviet domination of Europe, Fuller began to interest himself in the techniques of psychological and guerrilla warfare which led him into the arms of MI6 and the Anti Bolshevik Bloc of Nations (ABN) in their covert war against the USSR during the 1950s. As Coogan notes, the methods and alliances used […]

These pivotal events also flush out the right-wing media.(3) Here the Sunday Telegraph — allegiance basically with MI6 — ran a leader on JFK on February 2, titled ‘Reshooting Kennedy’. This rehashed not only the central theme of the 1967 CIA memo on the […]
