Tonight’s guests on INN World Report Radio were Joe Calhoon, The Logos Radio Network’s correspondent in New York for next week’s UN General Assembly meeting which will feature speeches by Pope Francis and Vladimir Putin.
Then Tom spoke with Geoff Gilson who was a young lawyer and member of the Tory party with aspirations of becoming a member of the British Parliament in the 1980’s. Geoff’s friend and fellow attorney Hugh John Simmonds CBE, Margaret Thatcher’s favorite speechwriter, gave young Geoff a job in his law firm. Gilson’s mentor and boss Simmonds later turned up dead in his car in a field after having been suicided. Geoff started looking into it and found a story that was part of the dark underworld of illegal arms trafficking that was going on during the Iraq/Iran war and into Iran Contra. It looks like Maggie Thatcher was getting a cut of the profits too and at a certain point Simmonds became a liability who had to be disposed of. Geoff has documented the results of his invistigation into this matter thus far in his new book Maggie’s Hammer.
