AllisonAdler Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 John Wilcock's A Guide to Occult Britain. Quite a little treasure I picked up from Atlantis (in Bloomsbury) on Saturday--it did indeed find a good home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetware Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 http://www.google.com/search?q=cia.gov+The...y+Assassination The Lie That Linked CIA to the Kennedy Assassination The Power of Disinformation Despite the surface placidity of the CIA’s “no comment” responses, internally the Agency was seething. The “Red Flash” and “Red Comet” editions of the New Orleans States-Item, in particular, were received with the kind of enthusiasm normally reserved for Pravda. The CIA had weathered public debacles like the Bay of Pigs and the Ramparts exposé; had deflected criticism in the press and from books; and had resisted attempts to broaden Congressional oversight. Never in its 20-year existence, however, had it confronted such a challenge from an elected public official with legal, albeit limited, authority. Garrison’s allegations— the “grossest we have seen from any responsible American official”—gave the Agency fits, just as they did Shaw and Shaw’s lawyers. For months, the tactics of what Rocca called “that wild man down there” preoccupied senior CIA officers. When Shaw’s trial appeared imminent, DCI Helms ordered an ad hoc committee to formulate a strategy—six of CIA’s highest officials comprised this “Garrison Group. They got nothin' to hide. ... Right?

coogeeboy Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Australian Outlaw by Derek Pedley. It's about Brendan Abbott who was dubbed the 'Post Card Bandit' by the aussie media because he used to send the Police postcards taken of himself & his accomplices outside various Police stations whilst on the run. This bloke had a real aussie spirit of adventure but he did the crime so now he is doing the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyMerkin Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) Tony Perrottet - "Route 66 A.D.: On the Trail of Ancient Roman Tourists" "Perrottet traces the Mediterranean itinerary of the world's first tourists - the ancient Romans - with the help of an archaic guidebook from the era. His entertaining narrative is combined with a witty, intelligent discussion of ancient history and culture compared with our own lives today." What they forgot to mention that his "entertaining narrative" is also littered with xenophobic prejudices... the Italians are lazy, the Kiwis are constantly drunk, French tourists gather to sing "Frère Jacques", every inhabitant of Naples is a pickpocket ...
