Rodney Stich Diablo Western Press, USA, 1994 The first thing to be said is that this is a huge (650 pages), fascinating book; and I recommend it. It is really three stories interwoven. The first section describes the author’s experience of trying to alert the American civil aviation industry, then the politicians and then the […]
[…] in the Iran-Contra affair. Other son Dean, whose journalistic career at The Daily Telegraph prospered mightily under Conrad Black after serving as a defence assistant in the Reagan Administration, wrote a biography of David Trimble, and is now research director of the Policy Exchange. In that capacity Godson fronted its 2007 publication of The […]
[…] the White House switchboard.’ It’s luminaries include former President George Bush (Carlyle’s senior adviser on Asia), Frank Carlucci (former CIA deputy director and Defense Secretary in the Reagan era and now Carlyle emeritus Chairman), James Baker III (Bush’s Secretary of State and senior Carlyle counsellor) and John Major, (the former British Prime Minister and […]
[…] if he did. Hinckley is hinky At < http://www.noveltynet.org/content/paranormal/www.parascope.com/mx/articles/hinckley.htm > there is a series of still photographs taken at the time of the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan with an analysis which claims that the photographs prove that John Hinckley didn’t do the shooting. I always thought there was something fishy about that shooting: […]
[…] and, failing that, cause him as much embarrassment as possible. But where was E-P and the Telegraph when we really needed them, during the scandalous years of Reagan and Bush, eh? What has Clinton done that could possibly be compared with, for example, the Savings and Loan rip-off, the biggest financial scandal in US […]

I always thought Mrs Thatcher was a nitwit and the tales of her great intellect were coming from those around her who were unwilling or unable to acknowledge that she was the dummy she appeared to be. (Something similar has happened with Reagan and Bush junior.) RR
[…] Sarah Tisdall going to jail after she leaked confidential documents to The Guardian. Many at the time – the height of the renewed Cold War under Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher – thought the editor of The Guardian would resign, a course of action over failure in civic duty his newspaper’s leading articles have […]
[…] the secret societies was visible in any expression of discontent. In 1819 Metternich of Austria proposed an international alliance against secret societies in terms similar to the Reagan administration’s rhetoric against ‘international terror.’ In the aftermath of the revolutions of 1848 Disraeli (in his Life of Lord George Bentick) made it clear that he […]
[…] So poor was the output of these disinformation programmes (a couple of examples are reprinted in this volume) that a tape recording in which the voices of Reagan and Thatcher had been edited together to apparently show them discussing a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union was attributed to the KGB. In the event […]
[…] Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations for many years. It would not be until the advent of the current Pope, John Paul II, and the coming to power of Reagan and Thatcher, that the concerted roll-back of communism was pursued in much the way that the Intermarium exiles, Peron, Skorzeny, Durcansky, Pavelic, Horthy etc. would have […]
