... two parts of Germany. Even though Brandt was an outspoken anti-communist and a loyal supporter of NATO, this was an anathema to professional anti-communists such as Angleton, Wright and their colleagues in West German intelligence.(7) When the Brandt-led SPD alliance with the Liberals was elected to office in October 1969, relations between some sections of the BND (West Germany's equivalent of MI6) and Bonn reached a new low. Many of the leading SPD figures, including Brandt when he had been Mayor of West Berlin, had been placed under surveillance by the BND. In 1967, BND founder and head General Gehlen had commissioned an inquiry into Egon Bahr. An Ambassador in the Foreign ...

... (c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 49) Summer 2005 Last| Contents| Next Issue 49 Beyond The Da Vinci Code One of the aims of this column is to open up new lines of enquiry for parapolitical specialists. It might seem very odd to start with the name of Reinhard Gehlen, long-since dead founder of the BND, the German Security Service. Reinhard Gehlen, to over-simplify a very complex tale, bought his way into the Western intelligence fraternity by handing over extensive files on anti-Soviet intelligence networks behind enemy lines in 1945/6.( [1]) What brought Gehlen to mind was a mischievous little article in a recent edition of the French newsletter Intelligence Online ...

A few elderly gentlemen sitting over cups of coffee and discussing world developments. What do these fellows want? MP 'A': These are no elderly gentlemen- they are former CIA and BND people working together. MP 'X': I feel it is dangerous if we publicize such things. If such matters were to become public, it would damage the general image of the Federal Republic. Therefore we will decide to remove references of any kind to other countries or to connections with State services. (From a closed session ...

... in England are very concerned about the 'New Eastern Politics' of West Germany. Any comments on this? What part do BIS Special Services play in connection with this? K.P. During the post war period England had a fairly good agency in the Bonn government. Not only did BIS agents provide information to London concerning the Gehlen Espionage (BND), West German Foreign Ministry and other Departments of State, it also influenced some of the Bonn leading representatives among the Christian Democrats to a certain extent. The victory of the Social Democratic Regime curtailed these operations. One can see that the BIS still maintains connections with ultra-right elements of the Christian Democratic leaders and carry out secret operations ...

... Violet has also been a member of SDECE, the French equivalent of the CIA and MI6. (Faligot, 1985 p 194). According to reports from West German intelligence (in Intelligence/Parapolitics (Paris) December 1984) Violet had links with South African, American, British, Swiss and West German intelligence. The West German BND is said to be one of his sources of finance. With these contacts Violet had put together an informal group of conservative, anti-communist politicians, bankers, journalists etc- 'The Pinay Circle'. It is said to meet twice a year discussing how to promote the conservative cause. The following are said to have been, or still ...

... paper for 'Project: Victory for Strauss', can in fact be completely identified. It is also almost certain that on the basis of his project laid down in the document Crozier will run up against sharp defensive reactions from such security and intelligence services whose operational chiefs do not follow his political lines, such as, for example, the BND and the BfV. As Crozier speaks readily of his basic plan and the aforementioned victory project the problem is quite obvious. One possible consequence is that the story could end in undesired negative publicity." The Spiegel text then continues that in 1980 Spiegel had reported about the multiple contacts of Strauss to various security service members all over the ...

... journalism, and issue 3/1987 brings us some real gems. Besides continuing the invaluable listing of American intelligence bases in West Germany (part 3 of the list raises the total named to 250), this issue names 30 CIA agents stationed in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Syria and Cuba, investigates the history of German involvement in Afghanistan and BND strategy for the area, and reports on the surveillance of the Berlin Alternative List. Two articles reprinted from CAIB and National Reporter cover the CIA and heroin and American war plans for Europe, while in the first parts of two longer articles, Rolf Gossner analyses the disappearing distinction between police and Verfassungsschutz (Germany's MI5), and Michael ...
