Linda, David & Ron - thanks for that most intriguing information.

I would add that Kendall's alleged fascist background, and Crisman's links with Clay Shaw & Permindex, raise another spectre for me: Gladio, the Nazi/NATO stay behind networks.

Permindex was implicated in the financing of the 1962 Organisation de l'armée secrète (OAS) assassination attempt on French President Charles De Gaulle.[2][3] Guy Banister, in 1962, dispatched an associate, Maurice Brooks Gatlin - legal counsel of Banister's "Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean", to Paris to deliver a suitcase containing $200,000 for the OAS[4]. The source of the funds was the Bank Hapoalim owned by the Histadrut and they were channeled into Banque du Credit Internationale accounts maintained by Permindex. Canadian Louis Bloomfield was the head of Permindex, head of FBI Division Five and leading fund raiser for Histadrut in Canada.[5]

Following this investigation and accusations by the Italian Press that Permindex was a cover for CIA espionage in Italy the Italian government expelled Permindex in 1962 for subversive activities.[4][6].

The Gladio networks in continental Europe must have had high level, and highly compartmentalized, contact with certain individuals in both British & American intelligence.

From Linda's post:

Some say Mike was a casualty in a small war between two intelligence factions. On the one side is the Aquarius faction, clustered around MJ-12. It can be assumed that it is somehow tied to the rogue intelligence operations that emerged in the late 1970s called The Enterprise. The other faction , COM-12, is based in Naval Intelligence and is trying to keep intelligence work lawful.

Gunther Russbacher was a massive proponent of this theory of warring factions within the intelligence community, with the "Good" side essentially being based in ONI.

However, Russbacher was one of those spooky characters who seemed to delight in mixing up explosive revelations with some rank disinformation.

Dealing with Gunther was like wandering into the forest in search of Maeterlinck's Blue Bird of Happiness. Especially once his mind has been tampered with...
