[…] 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 isn’t it. West’s determination to stay on-side with his state informants prevents him from doing anything credible. In a comment on Stephen Dorril’s new book about MI6 on intelforum (www.intelforum.org) West concluded with this: ‘Dorril’s book resembles (sic), in my judgment, a useful work of reference for what has appeared in the newspapers’. […]
[…] 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 […]
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
[…] briefed he really reported to that office.’ This is important confirmation of one of the central political facts about Information Policy: it was perceived as partly an MI6 operation. Hence the hostility to Wallace shown by MI5 when it got overall control of the intelligence set-up in Northern Ireland. Rubbishing Wallace Since what has […]
[…] 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 […]
[…] Duke of Hamilton later in the war got RAF permission to sue the Communist Daily Worker newspaper for suggesting he was part of a pro-Nazi peace plot. MI6, who had in 1940 intercepted a letter to the Duke of Hamilton, sent from Berlin via Lisbon, had exonerated the Duke of being implicated in peace […]
[…] reality in the media etc.. It became absurd to deny the existence of large-scale conspiracies, of powerful ‘hidden forces’, the day the CIA (or the Politburo, or MI6) was begun. The interesting questions, the rational questions are not ‘Are there such things as hidden influences in political/social life?’; but, ‘Given that there are such […]

A $5.00 bill should elicit a sample copy from Paranoia, PO Box 3570, Cranston, RI 02910, USA. (Subs outside the U.S. $24.00 for […]
[…] 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 […]
