I don't see any original investigative research into deep black operations in that Encounter piece.
Encounter wasn't set up to undertake "original investigative research into deep black operations," as anyone remotely familiar with it knows; but it did do gatekeeping and steerage, which is what both Buchanan's book - published in the UK by the CIA's favourite UK publisher - and Rees' review (ditto) were all about.
Your defence of the left-gatekeeping invites us to confuse evidence with mud. Pish. The evidence is abundant and detailed - the US establishment, like its UK counterpart, funds pseudo-leftists to set limits on dissent. At the heart of this deception lies a trade-off based on a hierarchy of subjects. At the pinnacle of the latter stands the two world-historical post-WWII covert ops, Dallas '63 and 9/11. To keep the Left from asking serious questions about these, they'll trade almost anything, not least elementary consistency, their consciences, and self-respect.
There, the careers of Chomsky and Cockburn in a nutshell.
"There are three sorts of conspiracy: by the people who complain, by the people who write, by the people who take action. There is nothing to fear from the first group, the two others are more dangerous; but the police have to be part of all three,"
