Small Mistakes
How David Holden's murder was finally cracked.
Watch this carefully, look for the tiny events that could have passed unnoticed.
This is a real life Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
The man who hired Holden had been personally appointed by Ian Flemming, the author of the James Bond novels, when he was the Sunday Times foreign editor.
The video is just under twelve minutes and I’m not going to summarize. If you really need to learn to do these things, hearing the whole process from the reporters who finally untangled it will be invaluable.
As I said again a week ago in End Of Life, the things I did from my early forties until late fifties have drawn to a close. This does not mean that I simply reverted to some pre-spook sort of condition. Each passing month jas become a little quieter, and things that might have slid through as part of the noise floor a year ago are now like the first lightning and thunder in an Iowa summer storm.
We haven’t had much of a plan for the first half of the year, unlike the prior quarterly direction. I have June to consider things, perhaps interdicting trouble is going to be the thing that makes the most sense.
