Talk:British Security Co-ordination

message: I last read H. Montgomery Hyde’s book British Security Coordination (it may have a different title elsewhere) back in the eighties so I wouldn’t add this to the article itself, as this is entirely from memory, but I thought someone else might find it interesting.
In 1940, when Italy decided to enter the war on Germany’s side, the New York/East Coast mafia decided to put pressure on the New York stevedores to prevent them loading ships with supplies bound for the UK. As a result of this pressure, the stevedores stopped loading the ships.
When BSC heard of this, what with Britain being at war and the supplies being of an important nature, they decided on a rather drastic course of action. At this time the only people in the US aware of BSC’s true role were President Roosevelt and J. Edgar Hoover himself, and through Hoover, BSC obtained the police files on prominent local mafia leaders. BSC then proceeded to kidnap them, smuggle them across the border into Canada  and then ‘lose’ them. Being kept-informed of BSC’s interest in these people, when Hoover asked Stephenson what had happened to such-and-such a person the reply was usually along the lines of  oh, we’ve lost him.
Because of the mafia’s infiltration of the local police forces they naturally tried to find out what was happening and who was responsible for the disappearances, however, because BSC’s true role was unknown to the police, the informers could find out nothing. A short while later, the stevedores resumed loading the ships and did-so for the remainder of the war. Ian Dunster 21:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why is there no article on John Arthur Reid Pepper who was the head of BSC in 1947?
Is it because the producers of the Beatles Sergeant Pepper album slipped up and nearly compromised Pepper and exposed the reason why the band was created and popularized (as part of BSC “to mobilize pro-British opinion in the US," set up by Winston Churchill)? Lennon wanted out in 1980 so they faked his "assassination". Lennon likely lives in Ontario, Canada most of the time. The CIA produced a film about him called Let Him Be as damage control for Lennon's cover being exposed.  It ended up backfiring because there was a close up shot of John Lennon in the film and for other reasons.
Whether anyone wants to be convinced Lennon's fake assassination or not, John Arthur Reid Pepper was head of BSC in 1947.  His article is suspiciously missing
:BSC was disbanded in 1945. In 1947 the organisation no longer existed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.144.50.176 (talk) 09:08, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
