[…] conspiracy fringe – UFOs, maybe. The other reacted immediately: ‘Oh, you don’t want to go there!’ The first agreed enthusiastically, and a kind of double-act developed: ‘ Mind control?’ ‘Don’t want to go there!’ ‘Remote viewing?’ ‘Don’t want to go there!’ ‘Hilda Murrell?’ ‘Don’t want to go there!’ After a couple of minutes of […]
[…] and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy (New York: Birch Lane Press, 1992), offers unique perspectives based on his own experiences in the Pentagon. And never mind that no one else offered to reprint Prouty’s book. Berlet’s point is that Prouty should not have given his good name to Liberty Lobby. And once […]
[…] Plimpton avoided me, but I put that down to the fact that he was absorbed in hosting the event. I filed away in the recesses of my mind what Linville had said with the Patsy Southgate revelations and thought no more about it. I did wonder why they had told me these things. After […]
[…] Bush, 2008, under the pseudonym Ernest Organic. It perhaps has a psychological parallel in the work of Jung, where the potentially threatening dark confusion of the unconscious mind can, if faced and accepted, rather than being repressed, become a source of strength and energy, just as the apparently dead matter in the soil becomes, […]
[…] 30, 1994, Aguilar called Humes and Boswell to get their side of the story. Dr. Humes confirmed that he had spoken to Posner, but denied changing his mind about the skull wound, which he has always said was low. But here’s the kicker: not only does Dr. Boswell also continues to say that the […]

This only emerged in late 2002 in the wake of the anthrax scare in […]
[…] Still very much in the land of the living is an old political associate of both departed peers, Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee. A teasing thought crossed my mind during the phoney leadership war in the days before the Labour Party conference when Toynbee switched her allegiance to David Miliband from Gordon Brown. (We are […]
[…] which safeguarded the route to India. It was at this point that Britain’s Liberal government decided on intervention. It hoped for French support, which would, in Gladstone’s mind at least have helped to preserve some element of international respectability about the enterprise – but none was forthcoming. So a unilateral British invasion occurred. Arabi’s […]
When I commented on the lack of supporting material for the Operation Splinter Factor thesis (in issue 22), I somehow managed to omit the account of it in William Blum’s The CIA: a forgotten history (Zed, London 1986) pp. 59-61. But that is taken entirely from Stewart Steven’s book and his sources. To the latter’s … Read more
[…] of it and did not realise the shallowness of the exercise of which he was principal architect. I say ‘shallowness’ because commerce, when it has branding in mind, looks outwards and downwards; whereas David Spedding made the fatal error of only looking outwards. It is easy, but no less unforgiveable, to see how this […]
