British Intelligence Service

A number of radio reports which were sent by the Einsatzgruppen from Russia to Berlin and which were deciphered by the British Intelligence Service. These documents were released only recently, which has led to some speculations about whether the western Allies may have known much earlier about a German policy of extermination of the Jews and whether perhaps even more than 6 million Jews were killed by the Germans in World War Two.134...

Only in rare instances have the links between the Hong Kong opium firms, British intelligence, and the Chinese Communist Intelligence Service come to public light. Where they have, the results put the best pulp thrillers to shame. One illustration is the story of the luckless Rennie family, Scots traders who sold their operation to Jardine Matheson in 1975. The Rennies are old Africa and Asia hands both in merchant ventures and the British... 

Crucial clues to the inner operation of drag traffic — the joint operations of the Chinese Communist Intelligence Service (CCIS), British intelligence, and Chinese and British finance — have been gathering dust in police files for years. One such clue is the 1972 arrest of a Chinese Communist Party official in Djakarta, the Indonesian capital, in 1972. The Indonesian authorities arrested a Ch ao Chou Chinese, complete with Chinese Communist Party card and other documentary evidence, in possession of 30 kilograms of heroin — worth between 60 and 150... 

This combination of Pharaonic cult capabilities was taken as a model for further refinement in this century by the British Secret Intelligence Service s Tavistock Institute in London — an institution which launched the "counterculture" in the United States and Europe, based on the very... 

Kennedy s film ventures were also noteworthy for another reason. Lord Inverforth later showed up during World War II working closely with British Secret Intelligence Services chief William Stephenson ("Intrepid"). (8) The Robertson-Cole deal was Kennedy s first contact with Britain s aristocratic high command. 

Unfortunately, very little of the publicly accessible information about the SOE is reliable. It is known that the SOE was created at the personal initiative of Sir Winston Churchill as an expansion of Section D (for "Destruction") of the British Secret Intelligence Service, the branch responsible for "aggressive espionage and sabotage" against enemies of the British Empire. (19) Evidently, after World War II, the United States, in Churchill s eyes, fit the definition of "enemy. "... 

The Free Clinic paralleled a project at the Tavistock Institute, the psychological warfare agency for British Secret Intelligence Service. Tavistock, founded as a clinic in London in the 1920s, had become the Psychiatric Division of the British Army during World War II under its director, Dr. John Rawlings Rees. (16)... 

Government Reports. The Office of Technical Services of the Department of Commerce has reports from the Office of the Publication Board (OPB), British Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (BIOS), Combined Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (CIOS), and Field Information Agency, Technical (FIAT). A file and index of these reports form a valuable addition to any research library. Discretion is required in using this information, and it must be realized that there have been many advances since these reports were written. In spite of this, much information of value can be obtained from these sources.

The Office of Technical Services (O.T.S.), U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington 25, D.C., has a complete record of all declassified reports of the British Intelligence Objectives Sub-committee (B.I.O.S.), the Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-committee, SHAEF (C.I.O.S.), and the Field Information Agency Technical (F.I.A.T.). The O.T.S. can arrange for delivery of copies, photostats, or microfilms of these reports for a fee. The Office of the Publication Board (O.P.B.) reports are also available from the O.T.S. 

The simple fact was that the British Intelhgence Service didn t trust him and never had. Nor did others. A 1918 report compiled by the US Navy s Office of Naval Intelligence probably came closest to the mark when it labeled him and his dubious cronies as international confidence men of the highest class (Spence, 2002 144). Reilly was always more a con man and crook than a spy. Bribery, blackmail and even murder were his standard operating procedure. As we shall see, Reilly s System mimicked that of his erstwhile employer and probable mentor, Basil Zaharoff...

In October the French reported that German gas masks were fitted for protection against arsenical smokes. This led to rumours of an imminent German gas attack with a new arsenical weapon. These were taken seriously by British intelligence, particularly since Germany was also believed to have purchased large quantities of arsenic. The War Cabinet authorised the modification of 400000 Service gas masks, but not of the civilian respirator.
