52.Jon Atack’s Scientology – The Church of Hate speech delivered at FECRIS, conference in Copenhagen May 2013. At the bottom of Jon’s paper he references this quote with the following: Sefton Delmar’s Black Boomerang and Christopher Felix’s The Spy and His Masters. Black Boomerang describes the various false information tactics and dirty tricks used during World War II. Both these books, and a dozen more, were required reading on the Confidential Information Full Hat, the Guardian’s Office 800-page intelligence course, of 9 September 1974. On page 8, 19 checklisted items are devoted to The Spy and His Masters. Over a dozen espionage terms are defined just for the first item. Demonstrations of ‘a cut-out, building a cover’ and various other spy operations are required.
