[…] The M10/11, hand-held, almost recoilless weapon was designed by Gordon Ingram and Mitch Werbell II, a mysterious White Russian, OSS-China veteran small arms manufacturer and occasional US intelligence operative. Werbell has been termed a ‘creative genius’ by weapons historians for his designs of noise suppressors for automatic weapons and for his other ‘silent kill’ […]
[…] untrue ….the FRU was prevented by RUC Special Branch from infiltrating loyalist murder gangs.’ (p. 32) (1) The exception to this was ex-Army Brian Nelson, the ‘ intelligence officer’ of the UDA, who directed the UDA’s killing of republicans for the FRU. Ingram suspects that Nelson never left the British Army (as does Paul […]
[…] the British Right’s ideological package, but in the past few years they have become much more explicit. At one level it looks fairly straightforward. The British military/ intelligence complex has been preparing for years for the time when the ‘Soviet threat’ ceases to guarantee their budgets. And that might be soon. Georgi(?) Arbatov, one […]
[…] a travel agents’ convention which appears more like an international gathering of secret agents all getting pissed together.

[…] scandals blighted the Labour Party. Were these events connected? Co-ordinated? If so — and there is no evidence yet — what was the mechanism? The CANZAB counter- intelligence conferences begun in the 1960s look interesting…. Below, Owen Wilkes discusses the first book, albeit a novel, to attempt to elaborate the New Zealand situation; and […]
[…] seeking support for what was called a Danube Confederation. This was actually a recasting of Intermarium, a project that the Vatican, and, to a certain extent, British Intelligence, had tinkered with since the 20s. This produced little actual success. Two British-backed attempts to install pro-western clericalist governments in Poland and Slovakia before the arrival […]
[…] weapons and its weapons potential.
