IRA/MI5
As regional head of Special Branch in Belfast I made applications to the ACC head Special Branch setting out the intelligence used, the operations conducted on it, the outcome or result and then I asked for a reward and incentive for the agent. It would be matched against the degree of risk he took."
MI5 was and Whitehall set Special Branch's priorities. White explained "we weren't gathering intelligence at our own behest. We were working to an intelligence requirement that was set at the highest levels in Whitehall. Special branch NI was asked to give its support to the overall intelligence picture.
Psalm 64:1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 ¶ But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
