[…] In Power’s exercise the three Tube stations he imagined being bombed were those actually being bombed. Coles reports this and the conclusion of the House of Commons Intelligence and Security Committee that it was just a striking coincidence. It certainly was. How do we know about the Power exercise? Because Power phoned into Radio […]

One of the consequences of US entry into World War I was the expansion of the federal government’s domestic intelligence (policing) apparatus. While US Army Intelligence retained much of its authority to spy on political dissidents, the increasing industrialisation catalysed by the war mobilisation created a […]
[…] first omission is the substantial political underpinning to the government’s assault on the NUM. For the previous 20 years or so a lobby of former and serving intelligence and security personnel had been asserting that there was a substantial Soviet threat to the UK in the form of the Communist Party of Great Britain […]

Among the big items on that list would be: * James Angleton, head of CIA counter- intelligence, had his people monitoring Oswald’s activities in the US upon his return from the USSR.

[…] to question the head of MI5; the Home Secretary, Teresa May, duly refused on the grounds that his appearance would ‘duplicate’ the existing oversight provided by the Intelligence and Security Committee.
