I listened to some of the show last night---a whole evening
of Coast to Coast dedicated to speaking about Crowley
and his relationship to the British press and government.
I may even check out Spence's biography on Crowley.
Thanks for the heads up.

RE: The Crowley - Spy question
What makes me think this was true is: If he was really a traitor, ripped up his passport etc then how would he get his passport back? He may have been a British government asset. |

He didn't rip up his passport: he was eccentric but he was no fool.
But the fundamental point of your post is sound: part of the supporting evidence that Crowley was an "asset" is the lack of action taken against him by the authorities. |

Yes it seems that the MI5/MI6 silence speaks volumes as they never reveal agents period.
What i find interesting is tho the the CIA always called him "Sir Aleister Crowley" and actually spoke almost favorably about him in the released papers i have read in relation to parsons.
Did they actually know his role within the MI5 or MI6? |

The CIA was not involved in this matter (not then founded); I think you probably mean the FBI.
Although they questioned AC a couple of times they do not seem to have been following him about. They did, for instance, follow Jeanne Foster (Hilarion) using a three man team when she travelled by train between towns and used a false name (Julie Calhain) to check in at a hotel.
I got this from Footnote.com where it is possible to buy access for 1 month for not much money. I suspect there is an easier way under FOI if you know how, which I don't.
Generally I agree with Spence.
OK |

Yes apologies... your 100% correct... FBI.
I do find it strange that they wouldnt be following him about or have an interest in him due to him writing for German run The Fatherland paper, not to mention the allegations that had been dropped at his door by various countries along his travels.
Possibly this could reflect the stance the FBI knew of his status in the international secret service and had an agreement with the british government not to show an interest in him etc.
A man of such renown and no paper trail by the FBI... something does seem right to me and the FBI papers will prob never be released IMO. |
