SUMMARY: Britain is thinking of moving to a government/corporate
merger system of secret intelligence agencies, but without making
it an 'open secret' as is done in the US.
Bickford revealed that, in 1995, the intelligence agencies had secretly
suggested to the Major government that they develop links to large
companies in order to provide them with protective business
intelligence.
The main threat to Britain now was serious economic crime and
super-terrorism, involving the use of weapons of mass destruction, he
said.
Not only were operational officers with long experience in
intelligence being lost to the private sector, others were lost because
they had to take up management posts instead of carrying on in
intelligence. Tax payers were having to pay for this waste of
experience, Bickford claimed.
A new national intelligence agency should be formed, he added, in
order to provide protective business intelligence. It could even charge
for its services. It was long overdue for the Parliamentary
Intelligence Oversight Committee to instigate the process of
amalgamating the three agencies.
Bickfords call for more intelligence and security expertise for
business was backed by Sir Peter Imbert, former Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police, and other senior ex-police officers.

POST-SUMMARY: Truth in Fascism will allow for greater efficiency in
sending citizens and troops overseas to die for Texaco and Pepsico,
since there will no longer be a need to waste time and resources
on promoting some bullshit 'freedom and democracy' claptrap to
justify the murder of foreigners who fuck with corporate cash
flow.
