First up, I agree with Joel - let's keep this on subject, or I can't be bothered to read the thread any more. Any off-topic issue is better started in a new thread - all the more discussion on specific subjects! The debate on this forum about the second edition of Rogue Agents was killed off by a fruitless sidetrack re Diana [on whom NO further comments], and research is all about FOCUS. So, let's focus, there is a lot of catching up to do.
Second off, Joel, my email account got wiped due to inactivity several months back, so I lost all the messages and adresses, including yours. Intrigued about new Cercle documents, please send them again - the email is reactivated now.
Third up, you're not hijacking my topic at all, you're contributing to it, for which my thanks. Intelligent and focussed discussion is always worth listening to. Glad to see your site is archived; so much research should not go to waste. Without having seen these lists as yet, one correction on the names, however:
"Stauffenberg, Christoph von
Cousin of the famous Hitler plotter. Ran an intelligence network
for the CSU, on which Strauss relied a lot. Former BND officer."
Let's make that Hans Christoph von Stauffenberg aka Hans von Machtenberg [Crozier], eh?
Next-to-last up, Richardson/Graham - Close/Jonet ... but of course. Jonet's wife was also doing the donkey work for IEPS in the early 1990s. A couple of significant snippets of info you may have overlooked from the book:
(412) Close, who died in 2003, had one interesting early posting as Belgian Military Attaché in London from 1967 to 1970 [i.e. IRD and FWF peak period, foundation of ISC].
Alfredo Sanchez Bella ... was appointed Spanish Ambassador to ... Italy from 1962 to 1969 [i.e. AN's formation and military training in Greece by the KYP, birth of strategy of tension, etc.] before being recalled to serve in Franco's Cabinet [replacing Fraga, and taking the Spanish chair of CEDI over from Martin Artajo in 1970].
And, last up, a response to previous comments here: this research is not ongoing, it is concluded, at least for me after twenty years - with this edition, I have given all I have. Both texts, short and long, are provided as locked PDFs (you can download, open, read, search, print, copy and email the file, but you cannot copy text from, amend, comment or add to it) to ensure that you get my book, the whole book and nothing but the book.
Now, you can read, digest and comment on it here, which I look forward to.
And very nice to hear from you, Joel!
