Leslie Allen Aspin

Not to be confused with former US Congressman Les Aspin.
Leslie Allen Aspin was a former RAF corporal.Tony Geraghty, Guns for Hire: The Inside Story of Freelance Soldiering, Piatkus, 2008, .p.65.
According to an account which Aspin gave to the Sunday People, He was a smuggler transporting goods to the Middle East when he was arrested at Heathrow Airport in 1970, by Special Branch officers working for MI6. He was then recruited as an intelligence agent over a series of meetings with an intelligence officer known as 'Homer' and his deputy "Frank Abbott". He was sent back to the Middle East where he allegedly reported on Black September and other Palestinian groups, and tipped off Homer about the Claudia arms shipment from Libya to the Provisional IRA. After this was intercepted, Homer instructed Aspin to contact Kenneth Littlejohn, to set up another Libyan-IRA arms shipment, which was intercepted aboard the Sea Fox.Jonathan Bloch, & Patrick Fitzgerald, British Intelligence and Covert Action, Brandon, 1983, pp.222-223.
In 1974, MI6 allegedly sent Aspin to find Littlejohn after his escape from Mountjoy Prison in the Republic of Ireland. He located him in 'The Pink Elephant' bar in Amsterdam in March that year, premises which were also the target of another MI6 operation targeting arms dealer James McCann. He attempted to persuade Littlejohn to return to London but failed.Jonathan Bloch, & Patrick Fitzgerald, British Intelligence and Covert Action, Brandon, 1983, pp.222-223. 
In 1976, Aspin was involved in the recruitment of a group of British mercenaries for the Angolan War.Jonathan Bloch, & Patrick Fitzgerald, British Intelligence and Covert Action, Brandon, 1983, pp.222-223. Journalist Tony Geraghty met Aspin in the company of Nicholas Mervyn Hall in January 1976.Tony Geraghty, Guns for Hire: The Inside Story of Freelance Soldiering, Piatkus, 2008, .p.65.

Leslie Kaye

Leslie Kaye is a prominent campaigner for UKIP, and recently contested the Solihull local elections in Meriden Ward for the party, in the local elections of May 2016. 'Leslie John Kaye', Democracy Club, accessed 20 May 2016 
==Councillor slams UKIP's toxic gas claims==
Tony Dicicco, councillor for Meriden, Solihull and cabinet member for the environment, housing and regeneration, has condemned a 'scurrilous' leaflet circulated by UKIP claiming that a proposed biomass plant in Meriden Quarry will pump toxic gas into the air. The leaflet was put together by UKIP campaigner Leslie Kaye, and claims the woodchips the plant would burn would contain lead-based paints and harmful chemicals, and says this could pump 'cyanide and other toxic gasses' into the air. 
Kaye writes in the leaflet: 'Most directly impacted by pollution will be the excellent £750,000 village sports facility where healthy exercise will become a thing of the past. Further along the path of the filth will be the school and playground where young lungs will soak up the harmful emissions.' 
Councillor Dicicco gave the following response: 'I have read the leaflet being circulated to residents of Meriden concerning the proposed biomass plant, with a mix of anger and incredulity. The scurrilous claims being made by UKIP have no basis in fact and are purely designed to scare local people. The proposed biomass plant will have to meet very stringent emissions regulations set by the Environment Agency – if it didn’t it would be shut down.'

Lev E. Dobriansky

Lev E. Dobriansky, Ph.D., was born November 9, 1918, in New York City. He is Professor of Economics Emeritus at Georgetown University.
On October 25, 1982, Dr. Dobriansky of Virginia was nominated by President Ronald Reagan as Ambassador of the Bahamas to succeed William B. Schwartz. Dobriansky remained on this post until August 30, 1986. 
Dobriansky worked in an official capacity in Chile (1975-1976).
"In 1942-1948, Dr. Dobriansky was an instructor in economics at New York University. Since 1948 he has been with Georgetown University as assistant professor of economics (1948-1952), associate professor of economics (1952-1960), and professor of economics (1960-present). He has also been director of the Institute on Comparative Economic and Political Systems since 1970. He was a faculty member at the National War College in 1957-1958. He has served as a consultant with the Department of State, the International Communication Agency, and the United States House of Representatives. In 1974-1975, he was a member of the National Commission for the Observance of World Population Year."
Dobriansky taught "The Economics of Socialism" at Georgetown Univ. This was as appropriate as having the Pope teach sexual ed. The required reading included Hayek's The Road to Serfdom.
"Dobriansky graduated from New York University (B.S., 1941; M.A., 1943; Ph. D., 1951). He is the author of numerous books and articles. His foreign languages are French, Ukrainian, Russian, and German."
His daughter, Paula Dobriansky, is a senior officer in the U.S. State Dept. (since 2000), and one of the early neo-conservatives. His other daughter, Larisa Dobriansky, is a lawyer specializing in "environmental issues" who has worked at the U.S. Energy Dept. and has also been party to the undermining of the adoption of the Kyoto Environmental treaty. She also was an environmental lawyer at Akin Gump.
