STEPHEN SPENDER AND OTHER BOY-LOVING SPIES

Sir Stephen Spender (1909 – 1995) was an English writer who wrote:

“I find boys much more attractive, in fact I am rather more than usually susceptible…

“But actually I find the actual sexual act with women more satisfactory, more terrible, more disgusting, and, in fact, more everything.”

From 1953 to 1966 Spender was editor of Encounter magazine, which was set up by Spender and the neoconservative Irving Kristol.

Encounter was funded by the CIA.

Spender pretended to be ‘left-wing’ and even homophobic.

The critic Cyril Connolly described Stephen Spender as being “shrewd and ambitious, aggressive and ruthless”.

Spender was married to Agnes Maria Pearn (Inez Pearn) and then to Natasha Litvin, who was Jewish.

Spender’s mother Violet Hilda Schuster was half Jewish.

Stephen Spender’s son Matthew Spender describes a scene in postwar Paris when, “at a party of intellectuals, Natasha (still newly married) enquired who the elegant young man talking to her husband was.

“‘Don’t you know?’ the worldly Parisian replied. ‘That’s Stephen’s new lover.’ She promptly fainted.”

Spender wrote: “Whatever happens, I shall never be alone. I shall always have a boy.”

Spender was brought up in a house in St John’s wood and attended the Hall School in Hampstead

You are unlikely to find any top novelist writing a book about 9 11 being an inside job.

This is because the CIA and its friends control many of the top writers.

The novelist Ian McEwan wrote the novel ‘Sweet Tooth’.

The novel deals with the subject of Britain’s security service MI5 giving money to writers and academics so that they will promote certain propaganda.

Ian McEwan is the son of an army officer.

He was educated at a government-run boarding school.

It is known that the CIA poured money, through front organisations, into cultural projects in Britain.

Ian McEwan feels obliged to say: “I don’t think MI5 ever backed ten writers and academics…”
