Observers of the activities of the neo-nazi Combat 18 (C18), otherwise known as the National Socialist Alliance (NSA), have been treated to some bewildering documents and allegations recently. In an attempt to clarify who is saying what, and why, I will examine the origins and initial purpose of C18, the role (if any) of alleged […]
[…] also written, film and sound archives. There’s also a fair sprinkling of ‘private information’ and ‘personal knowledge’. Thus John Bruce Lockhart’s entry for former Deputy Chief of MI6 and founder of Unison and Tory Action in the 1970s George Kennedy Young (‘…an outstanding figure with his great height red hair…’) rather magnanimously depicts him […]
[…] of the Munster and Leinster Bank to handle funds from the North for weapons purchases. Having drawn a blank at weapons supplies from America, and uncovered an MI6 agent called Captain Peter Markham-Randall who came to Dublin posing as an arms dealer, Northern representatives began negotiating with a Hamburg arms dealer called Otto Schleuter […]
[…] a reconfiguration of Cold War positions that retain, what Dr. Michael Pinto-Duschinsky termed ‘such interference,’(1)so as to continue subversive covert operations previously perpetrated by the CIA or MI6. This then, is a difficult area and few researchers are looking at the matter at a sufficient level of objective enquiry to outline satisfactorily some of […]
[…] this and on Splinter Factor would be most welcome. Robin Ramsay Steve Dorril adds: If we assume that Operation Splinter Factor did take place, were the covert MI6 operations in the Baltic and Ukraine during this period part of it? Did the British launch their guerrilla operations with Soviet Bloc emigres knowing that while […]
[…] human rights and press freedom sites; newsgroups. Includes Richard Tomlinson’s May 1999 declaration to French magistrate on the death of Princess Diana (www.inside-news.ch/Tomlinson/Tomlinson_deposition.htm) and the list of MI6 officers (www.inside-news.ch/Tomlinson/List/Liste_Alpha.htm).

[…] readers there is new information on William Sargant, author of the 1957 landmark book, Battle for the Mind. Streatfield shows that Sargant was working for MI5 and/or MI6 – something I had assumed but had never tried to check. There is a chapter on the British Army’s torture of IRA suspects in 1971. Streatfield […]
[…] Soviet Union. (This was before U-2 over-flights and satellites.) Soviet nuclear arms, even the Soviet economy, were a mystery. All the agents sent in by CIA and MI6 had been turned or captured. How could they get agents in? One way was to send them in as defectors. There seems to have been a […]
[…] enough to show the allegiance to the state among media personnel. Daphne Park, for example, of the BBC Board of Governors, is not described as former senior MI6 officer. Paul Wilkinson is frequently quoted, but there is nothing on his part in the disinformation campaign against Colin Wallace, discussed in Lobster 16, which led, […]
Editorially Writing in mid-January… good news is the arrival of The Digger, apparently set fair to replace Private Eye as the major outlet – major above ground outlet – for British parapolitics. (Lobster, as one British academic said to me, is ‘underground’…). The new Kincora-Blunt trail, opened up by Ken Livingstone in the House of […]
