[…] which I’ve read a couple, but also in Jim Schnabel’s 1997 Remote Viewers, which covers very similar ground to Marrs, and in a chapter in Armen Victorian’s Mind Controllers. Of the two book-length accounts I prefer Schnabel; but if that is no longer available, Marrs’ version of the material would do. For the basic […]
Henry McDonald and Jim Cusack London: Penguin, 2004, £12.99, p/b Henry McDonald’s highly readable recent book with Jim Cusack on the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) is everything that other recent offerings on the subject were not. On the one hand, it avoids the kind of borderline homo-erotic sensationalism, in which the atrocities of self-serving … Read more
[…] my personal view of the named politicians was. It is, therefore, nothing short of disinformation for him to claim otherwise. p. 171 ‘Evidence of Wallace’s state of mind is contained in an essay ‘Ulster — a State of Subversion’, which he admits he wrote himself. His own conclusion was that….’ The ‘essay’ to which […]
David Black, Vision, London, 1998, £9.99 pb I enjoyed this book hugely, and I’d recommend it to anyone remotely interested in the politics of psychedelia – apart from anything else, there are stories here you almost certainly won’t have heard. However, overall it aspires to more than it can deliver. As the title implies, the […]
[…] it after all. He argued this in a long, detailed piece which I declined to print in Lobster 26. I don’t buy the thesis at all. Never mind anything else, buying into that means accepting, as the Warren Commission did, two shots out of three on a moving target with a crappy mail order […]
[…] story about which Morris has written elsewhere, and which will only be of use to historians of the period.(1) Notes 1 Since then Morris has changed his mind somewhat and has since become anti-Palestinian; or, at any rate, anti-Yassir Arafat. This political shift does not seem to have yet intruded in his research if […]
[…] back then? And whither Thomas G. Buchanan? These are small cavils though and Kelin has done a remarkable job of research and writing. It’s a good read, but at the back of my mind I keep thinking, shouldn’t he have been out investigating the case now, and wouldn’t 20 to 30,000 words have been enough?
Brice is right? An ‘immoral’ government has undermined human rights in Northern Ireland and is threatening to do the same across the rest of the United Kingdom, argued Professor Brice Dickson, the then Chief Commissioner of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission,([1]) in an interview with ePolitix.com to mark Human Rights Day last December.([2])He claimed … Read more
A Bilderberg Press Release I don’t think I’ve ever published a press release before, but this is unmistakably a press release from last year’s Bilderberg meeting.(1) There is the occasional oddity in this, possibly caused by e-mail transmission, which I’ve highlighted, and I’ve arranged the participants by country, rather than alphabetically as in the original. … Read more
[…] Talb. After lengthy sessions with CIA personnel, the Maltese shopkeeper who had previously recognised a photograph of Talb — a 35 year-old Palestinian — apparently changed his mind and fingered a Libyan airline official in his fifties. This identification, along with allegations — later disproved — that a Swiss-made timing device for the Lockerbie […]
