[…] she shows why there has been recent stalemate over the RUC. This armed police force was pivotal in much of the action and most of the floating intelligence in the past. Could the same people provide an equitable police force for all the people of Northern Ireland? To mix metaphors somewhat, the description she […]
[…] operational sense, more is needed. Interview 1 March 1992. We know from Colin Wallace’s evidence that such a document haul would be thoroughly analysed by the state intelligence forces for potential psy-ops use. It would not take genius to work out that a copy of the letter would be used by Searchlight. Had Searchlight […]
[…] does not mention that Knight was a leading member of the British Fascists and seems to have colluded with them against the left while he was an intelligence officer.

[…] her comments at Kwiatkowski is dropping broad hints that, in her view, there is something fishy here. In ‘Pakistan and 9/11’, at B.

[…] ripped-off most of his money and destroyed his life, tossed him in prison. There he began to meet other victims, among whom are former US military and intelligence personnel who were involved in, or claim to have been involved in, the various intelligence scandals of the Reagan/Bush years: October Surprise, Inslaw, BCCI, the arming […]
