Former Intelligence Agent calls for Increased Openness and Accountability Across the Board

I just viewed a story of a Retired MI5 Agent reported to have killed Princess Diana, this is published across the Internet, I noted the major tabloids are quiet. One paper has debunked the claim.  I can’t publish this as I can’t verify the truth of it.  However, it raises question about this incident as people seek the truth. My sense is the truth is emerging on many matters across the world. As a result of this article I had a look further into MI5 and found Annie Machon a former intelligence officer. She is publishing in her own words which is very courageous. I would venture for those in the intelligence service the greatest service to humanity at this time is to speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If a situation is happening that is illegal or of concern then it has to be revealed as the public pay for intelligence services in the belief they protect the community, are honest and legitimate.  Openness, honesty and accountability is in the community interest as secrecy is repugnant to democracy (JFK).  Refer https://wpas.worldpeacefull.com/2012/04/john-f-kennedy-secrecy-is-repugnant-citizens-to-be-fully-informed/

Genuine democratic leadership is encouraging of openness, diversity and tolerance of viewpoints as it is about sharing power whereas a dictatorial leadership will suppress, conceal and punish truth telling as they control power.   Good to see a woman leading by example.

Annie Machon is a former intel­li­gence officer for MI5, the UK Secur­ity Ser­vice, who resigned in the late 1990s to blow the whistle on the spies’ incom­pet­ence and crimes with her ex-partner, David Shayler.

Draw­ing on her var­ied exper­i­ences, she is now a pub­lic speaker, writer, media pun­dit, inter­na­tional tour and event organ­iser, polit­ical cam­paigner, and PR con­sult­ant.

She has a rare per­spect­ive both on the inner work­ings of gov­ern­ments, intel­li­gence agen­cies and the media, as well as the wider implic­a­tions for the need for increased open­ness and account­ab­il­ity in both pub­lic and private sectors.
