Disclaimer: This article is not a summary of the Durham Report. That would take at least a quarter of the document’s 306 pages and resemble a Matryoshka Doll. The intent here is to substantiate the title. Occasional comments by the author are {bracketed}. The now infamous Steele Dossier was born in a Washington D.C. liberal think tank. The Brookings Institution is just one among a host of such D.C. operations.
Wikipedia’s profile of Brookings reads: “The Brookings Institution, open stylized as simply Brookings, is an American think tank founded in 1916. Located on Think Tank Row in Washington, D.C., it conducts research and education in the social sciences, primarily in economics (and tax policy), metropolitan policy, governance, foreign policy, global economy, and economic development.”.................To Read More...
Just let me know why no one on either side of US politics hasn't sued Steele? No one can answer that who we have contacted. If you watch over intelligence, human resources, corporate espionage, risk management, cyber security, financial crime, due diligence et al it’s about time you understood Beyond Enkription because odds on you’ve missed spotting the obvious like MI6 or CIA operatives or worse inside your organisation.
ReplyDeleteInterested in real raw intelligence or espionage, the CIA, FBI and MI6, the Cold War, Churchill, Gordievsky, Monty, Ungentlemanly Warfare, John le Carré, the SAS and Philby's interest therein? Do read the epic fact based spy thriller, Bill Fairclough's Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel of six in TheBurlingtonFiles series. He was one of Pemberton’s People in MI6.
Beyond Enkription follows the real life of a real spy, Bill Fairclough (MI6 codename JJ) aka Edward Burlington who worked for British Intelligence, the CIA et al. It’s the stuff memorable spy films are made of, raw, realistic yet punchy, pacy and provocative; a super read as long as you don’t expect John le Carré’s delicate diction, sophisticated syntax and placid plots.
For the synopsis of Beyond Enkription see TheBurlingtonFiles website. This thriller is like nothing we have ever come across before. Indeed, we wonder what The Burlington Files would have been like if David Cornwell aka John le Carré had collaborated with Bill Fairclough. They did consider it and even though they didn’t collaborate, Beyond Enkription is still described as ”up there with My Silent War by Kim Philby and No Other Choice by George Blake”. Why? The novel explores the exploitation of the ignorance and naivety of agents to the same extent as MI6 does in real life.
As for Bill Fairclough, he has even been described as a real life posh Harry Palmer; there are many intriguing bios of him on the web. As for Beyond Enkription, it’s a must read for espionage cognoscenti. To relish in this totally different non-fiction espionage thriller best do some research first. Try reading two brief news articles published on TheBurlingtonFiles website. One is about characters' identities (September 2021) and the other about Pemberton's People (October 2022). What is amazing is that these articles were only published many years after Beyond Enkription itself was. You’ll soon be immersed in a whole new world!
As for TheBurlingtonFiles website, it is like a living espionage museum and as breathtaking as a compelling thriller in its own right. You can find the articles at https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2021.09.26.php and https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2022.10.31.php.
