- MI6 and CIA infiltration of the government's illegal
arms trade is vital so plans go off without a hitch.
-
- In the case of the shipments to Iraq and Iran starting
in the early 1980's, Western politicians used numerous agents, but none
were more important than MI6 agent Stephan Kock.
-
- Former Astra Holdings PLC Chairman, Gerald Reaveley James,
the head of a company used by Western politicians to bypass UN embargoes
to get illegal arms to Iraq and Iran, exposed Kock's MI6 cover as a consultant
working in Midland Bank's secret arms department, Midland and Industrial
Trade Services (MITS), overseeing the financial operations for one of the
main lending institutions.
-
- James also had firsthand knowledge that the MITS office
was staffed by numerous ex-intelligence officers, MI5 and MI6 agents and
government-compromised bankers. At the time of the arms shipments to Iran,
Midland and the Bank of Boston were Astra's main bankers and dominated
by MI6 and CIA agents.
-
- "Kock was also said to be head of Group 13, the
government's assassination and dirty tricks squad according to Richard
John Rainey Unwin, a close associate of Kock himself who was a contract
MI6 agent and Consultant to Astra. Kock and Unwin, with Martin Laing Construction,
negotiated the 2 billion Pound Malaysian defense deal before George Younger,
the Defense Secretary even knew about of it," said James about his
knowledge of Kock's shady dealings.
-
- Besides James, several other arms whistle blowers called
attention to Kock's undercover activities, alleging they also had firsthand
knowledge during the 1980's he was representing himself as a consultant
for Midland Bank.
