'US PLOTS TO KILL THATCHER'
FBI agent 'gave secrets to IRA as it plotted to kill Thatcher'. / FBI passed secrets to IRA in Thatcher murder plot, files reveal

William Sessions, then the FBI director, ordered that all material relating to the plot against Thatcher must be restricted to two top officials.

12 October 1984 bomb - Grand Hotel Brighton
In the USA, in November 1982, five men were acquitted of smuggling arms to the IRA after they revealed that the CIA had approved the shipment.[98]
On 12 October 1984, a bomb went off at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England.

There is nothing to connect the Neave and Mountbatten assassinations (not even officially), and to suggest that the CIA was behind them is rather like suggesting that the British security services were behind the Kennedy assassination. Where is the evidence?
The twelfth of October. Crowley's birthday. The date of the false flag attack (Wayne Madsen has written that FBI divers were prevented from searching the area of the incident) on the USS Cole in the year 2000 that killed 17 sailors. The date of the false flag Bali terror attacks in 2002 that killed 200 people after an apparent small nuclear device augmented the work of the jihadist patsies.with their homemade car bomb.
On the other hand it is hard to see how killing Thatcher would have benefited Irish Republicanism as it would blacken their name and cause even Thatcher's political enemies to despise them. As far as Mountbatten goes, I need to track down the source, but my understanding is that Mountbatten had done numerous dubious things (as your article underlines) and made some disastrous decisions and that the IRA (or whoever) operation was allowed to happen because Mountbatten's enemies in British intelligence saw him as a liability and there was some type of 'stand down" that allowed him to be killed. As I said I need to track down the source so that's only a rumour.
If you read this blog you will know that the UK security services have lots of connections to the Kennedy assassination. http://aangirfan.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/mysterious-stephen-ward.html

It has been claimed that both Mountbatten and Neave had plotted against the Wilson government. Mountbatten was allegedly going to lead a coup against Wilson in the late 60s. Neave was allegedly involved in the Clockwork Orange propaganda campaign against Wilson http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/4789060.stm
You are suggesting that Harold Wilson was behind both assassinations? That seems far-fetched to me.
Re: Mountbatten. The CIA made an assessment of UK security risks back in the 1950s and he came top of the list. However, the timing of the assassination (August 1979) suggests a possible link to the imminent exposure of Anthony Blunt in Parliament (October 1979) - recall that Blunt was exposed by MI5/MI6 over 15 years earlier but his connection to Mountbatten at that time protected him from public exposure.
Re: Neave. Read his final publication, "Nuremberg" (1978), then consider that the subsequent publication of "The Murder of Rudolf Hess" by Hugh Thomas coincided with his assassination one year later.
