At War with the Truth
The True Story of Searchlight Agent Tim Hepple
This booklet is about a man of many possible faces and many possible
allegiances. For the mainstream media and readers of the anti-fascist
magazine Searchlight Tim Hepple was simply a member of the fascist
British National Party who 'saw the light' and approached Searchlight
asking if he could act as a mole for them. As such he seemed to follow in
the footsteps of other Searchlight moles, the most famous being Ray Hill
who in 1984 in a blaze of publicity and a World in Action documentary
'came out' exposing his former friends in the far right.
In April 1994 in a dramatic World in Action programme Tim Hepple appeared
on camera as a source helping expose the violent Nazi group Combat 18.
However, at the end of April a pamphlet 'A Lie Too Far', exposed Hepple
as an agent provocateur in the Anarchist movement. This pamphlet focused
on the list of names and details of C-18 thugs which Hepple encouraged
Green Anarchist magazine to publish. The list contained many factual
errors and was composed with intention of getting Anarchists arrested
and encouraging C18/BNP members to mount-counter attacks. However the
list had another purpose. They had been designed to put Green Anarchist
under attack on 3 fronts - arrested by the state, attacked by C18/BNP
thugs and also by anti-fascists. This would come about because after
Green Anarchist had published them Searchlight would 'expose' the lists
as being supplied by Nazis. The resulting smears would open the target up
to attack from the Left/anti-fascists. It was this third front of desired
assault - by their own comrades on the Left - that points most clearly in
the direction of list passing as being part of MI5's current battle plan.
Luckily O'hara was able to prevent Green Anarchist from publishing the
lists, but unfortunatly, unknown to him, Tim Scargill of the Class War
Organisation was also passed a copy of this list (by presumed
Searchlight assets still under investigation) and published himself. As
O'hara had predicted Scargill was immediately attacked as a being a
fascist.
O'hara responded by working on with Green Anarchist and Tim Scargill to
produce a pamphlet, A Lie Too Far (ALTF), to try repair some of the damage
and to prevent such events happening again. In ALTF Searchlight magazine,
it editor Gerry Gabble, Ray Hill and Tim Hepple were accused of
implementing a plot to physically and politically subvert the Anarchist
movement. Searchlight was plotting against the British left. Why? Some
would answer that Searchlight is an arm of the secret state. This
pamphlet certainly does. Many years ago Duncan Campbell in the New
Statesman unearthed a document which incontrovertibly showed that Gerry
Gable had spread disinformation on behalf of MI5. This 'Gable
Memorandum' was recently published by Lobster Magazine (issue 24).
ALTF contains extracts from letters which Hepple wrote to Green
Anarchist's editor, and this publication uses letters not disclosed in
ALTF to prove beyond doubt that Hepple was an agent provocateur. It is up
to you to decide whether you should continue to buy searchlight. If you
do- remember Searchlight is a thoughly discredited organisation serving
the secret states' agenda.
