1. Getting closer… Despite the recent publicity about Bill Clinton, the impact made on him by Carroll Quigley, and the Rhodes Scholars’ network (see Lobster 27 p. 19, for examples), the academic world remains almost wholly unaware of Quigley’s work. In their essay ‘The Limits of Influence: foreign policy think tanks in Britain and the … Read more
[…] increase The price increase from £2.50 to £3.00 is unavoidable: at £2.50 Lobster had ceased to pay for itself, mainly due to rising printing costs. I don’t mind producing it for nothing but I can’t afford to subsidise it: got nothing to subsidise it with. In 1986 Lobster went up to £2.00 a copy. […]
[…] The two pieces are a reworking of some of the information we have on that fuzzy, hearsay-laden area in which drugs (especially psychedelics), the intelligence agencies and mind control programmes overlapped.

[…] the loony fringe of America (William Cooper and dumber), via an enormous range of writing on the entire spectrum of single issue subjects (murders, scandals, conspiracies, CIA, mind control, etc.), through to major, solid pieces about the New World Order, MAI, consumer boycotts and so forth.

[…] very long, have only had time to read it (quickly) once, so this is by way of an interim report. But a second reading won’t change my mind that this is a very good book. I enjoyed this more than anything else I have read for years. It is also an important book. There […]
[…] trouser the odd rouble by advising Boris Berezovsky, Roman Abramovich’s former partner who sought asylum here from Russia a while ago. Money doesn’t buy you peace of mind, though, and security and self-preservation are paramount. Berezovsky, for example, has on occasion ‘…hired six identical limousines, which passed through the gates of his house in […]

Particularly interesting is David Hambling’s short account of claims very similar to those made by today’s targetted individuals (TIs) which were made two hundred […]
[…] very charming toff. I asked him about the ‘Wilson plots’. He told me nothing of consequence; and he may have known nothing of consequence. I couldn’t tell.
