[…] Despite having read Paul Foot’s book on Wallace, on p. 70 he states that Wallace ‘seems’ — seems! — ‘to have worked on intelligence matters and ‘black propaganda’ ‘, and then provides an inaccurate account of the Ulster Citizens Army (UCA) story. (On which see my piece in Lobster 14). Bruce has problems with […]
[…] to play a significant part in colonial life. Smith portrays MI5 working with the Colonial Office, bugging, tapping, intercepting mail — as well as producing inept anti-communist propaganda. Then as independence loomed, the Colonial Office/MI5 team were replaced by the Foreign Office/MI6 people. Smith’s encounter with colonial corruption climaxes with his discovery that among […]

In his speech he quoted the Czech defector Major-General Jan Sejna who ‘admitted that the campaign by the German […]
[…] creating justifications for enacting those plans. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld created their own intelligence apparatus, not only to produce the desired results, but also to wage a propaganda war on their own population. Of course, this material has been out there for years, but what is interesting in this new look at it is […]
