Bill’s comments from the Espionage Aficionados group.

If anyone wants to get a real insight into espionage, living "underground" and being involved in the infiltration of international organised crime (oft led by presidents et al) and what risks go with all that why not read FOR FREE one of my biographies?

It'll take about 20/30 minutes starting with https://everipedia.org/wiki/bill-fair.... By the way, it's not for headline hoppers as the devil is in the detail and in the hundreds of links emanating from the bio. You don't need to follow all of those to enjoy it but if a topic appears that interests you then the links (and links from those links) will fascinate you. You may also see more relevant photographs at https://www.instagram.com/fairclough_... which has only recently been opened.

The bio barely covers recent events (ignoring much over the last two/three decades) such as organising the delivery to Mueller of the Qatar Dossier on Trump (please see http://bit.ly/QuatarDossier) and other much more sinister activities. If you Google the Qatar Dossier you should get over 11 million hits.

If you have any questions, I'll try and answer them here ... subject to legal and security issues of course. I hope you find it enjoyable.

PS Other versions of the Everipedia bio are available, inter alia, on WikiSpooks, Amazon, Waterstones, WikiTree, FaireSansDire and TheBurlingtonFiles (including Beyond Enkription).

Just a quick note to say you may enjoy a discussion going on about espionage biographies and novels at Goodreads' Underground Knowledge - discussion group.

Whenever I read a non-fiction book, report or dissertation I often spend more time than it takes to read it researching the author's background and researching her/his chosen topic to put what’s written into its true perspective.

That may sound odd but it’s not odd in the "intelligence" arena I have inhabited for too long now. Indeed, it is particularly important in this era of deceit and disinformation as it helps to get one's facts right.

Out of several prima facie unlikely places one might look to do a bit of quick background research on people I have found Everipedia invaluable because it covers a lot in those grey areas where more staid encyclopaedic websites like Wikipedia don't venture given their old-fashioned rules about citations and notable persons. Interestingly, nowadays the FBI probably get more convictions courtesy of intel gleaned from social media and other data which Wikipedia still doesn't consider adequate to support citations. I'm not knocking Wikipedia, but it has its limitations even though I typically refer to it for quick guidance several times a day!

By way of example, if you are interested start with this short article on Steemit - https://steemit.com/introducemyself/@... - it explains how an intelligence agency tried to track down information about me over a ten-week period. Then look at one of my biographies released a couple of years later - https://everipedia.org/wiki/bill-fair... after their inept investigation.

If only they had waited! If that whets anyone’s appetite they can always read Beyond Enkription but do note it was written more along the lines of a scholarly film script with more layers than a Russian onion than a John Le Carré masterpiece … although some found that very refreshing!
