Comments
Two possible points of interest: > "Gangs and Countergangs" is the title of Kitson's first major published work, covering the MauMau uprising & deployment of the first countergangs. Faber periodically reissues Kitson's books; likely will continue to at least as long as he survives. "The Sun around which the moon and planets revolve " was the description given of him by one of his staff in Belfast. > Interesting to see L. H. LaRouche show up here. One of the useful things the ICLC did was detailed coverage of Kitson and John R. Rees' counterinsurgency work. aw

2022-04-01 21:27:52 +0000 UTCFor Aaron or anyone else interested in a history of false flags and counterinsurgency doctrine going back to the British Empire in the 19th century, I can recommend a very obscure two-volume history by an Australian writer named Don Veitch entitled "Gangs, Counter-Gangs and Other Political Crimes." It covers an impressive amount of ground from Cecil Rhodes to Frank Kitson, dirty tricks against Australian indigenous activists and the Irish, the deep strangeness of Lyndon LaRouche and his compatriot Roy Frankhauser, and much more. Copies are hard to come by for sale online but I would recommend tracking it down if one can.

2022-04-01 20:33:07 +0000 UTCI write about it in American Exception. I haven't decided the best way to try and put stuff from the book into the podcast yet, but I definitely want to do something on Safari Club/BCCI material...

2022-04-01 00:57:44 +0000 UTCAaron, Ben, would y’all be interested in doing an episode on the Safari Club (or, alternately, recommend a good book or article)? I’d like to understand how it fits into the larger picture of late Cold War/post-Cold War deep state machinations…

2022-03-31 18:05:37 +0000 UTCGreat answer on the Lafitte diary. I am really enjoying the book. But its best to remain skeptical when you get a singular peice of evidence that just wraps everything up in bow like that. I probably still recommend reading it all things considered.
