 An introduction to President Clinton's Political Mentor Carroll Quigley.

It is not hard to understand why President Clinton gave tribute to Carroll
Quigley in his nomination speech at the Democratic Party Convention.
Quigley graduated magna cum laude with MA and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard.
He was even in Ripley's Believe It or Not for being Harvard's youngest
person to receive a Ph.D. After teaching at Harvard and Princeton he went
to Georgetown where for 28 consecutive years alumni selected him as their
most influential professor. Dean of The School of Foreign Service, Dr.
Peter F. Krough aptly states, 'He was one of the last of the great
macro-historians who traced the development of civilization...with awesome
capability.' With his teachings, Clinton and other aspirants have aligned
themselves in positions of influence. As Quigley espoused, 'Look at the
real situations which lie beneath the conceptual and verbal symbols.'

As of his death in 1977 Dr. Carroll Quigley is no longer with us, yet
Tragedy and Hope is a hallmark of history, a classic to be owned by those
who care to know of the forces that have shaped and are shaping history.

  Carroll Quigley's Tragedy and Hope: A History Of The World In Our Time.

When Carroll Quigley was still living in April of 1971, Phyllis Schlafly in
The Phyllis Schlafly Report wrote a commentary on Tragedy and Hope.

     Who is really running things in America? What is the hidden,
     powerful force that seems to control U.S. policies no matter who
     is elected? The overwhelming majority of Americans oppose foreign
     giveaways. What is the hidden force that persuades Congress to
     vote at least $10 billion in foreign giveaways year after year
     after year, in direct opposition to the wishes of their
     constituents?

     Dr. Quigley is an authority on the world's secret power structure
     because HE IS ONE OF THE INSIDERS. He boasts that he has been
     associated with many of the dynastic families of the super-rich.
     He writes approvingly of their power, influence, and activities.
     To assure his readers of his own unique qualifications for the
     writing of this book, Dr. Quigley states: 'I know of the
     operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty
     years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960's, to
     examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it
     or to most of its aims and have, for much of my life, been close
     to it and to many of its instruments. I have objected, both in
     the past and recently, to a few of its policies. . . but in
     general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to
     remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant
     enough to be known.'

     In other words, Dr. Quigley is one of those on the inside of the
     'network,' and his chief disagreement with his associates is that
     he wants to tell what the 'network' is doing, and the others want
     to remain secret. Hence the book, Tragedy and Hope, in which Dr.
     Quigley 'tells all,' thereby exposing one of the best-kept
     secrets in the world. The 'Hope' in the title represents the
     man-made millennium of a collectivist one-world society which the
     world will enjoy when the 'network' achieves its goal of ruling
     the world. He says the 'network' already has such power and
     influence that it is now too late for the little people to turn
     back the tide. All who resist represent the 'Tragedy.' He urges
     us not to fight the noose which is already around our necks,
     because if we do we will only choke ourselves to death.

Phyllis Schlafly's commentary answers 8 questions. You may read all eight,
scroll to, or link to the comments that interest you. The questions proceed
as follows: 1. Who Runs The Establishment. 2. How the Tax- Exempt
Foundations are the Base of Operations. 3. How The Establishment Helped
Give China to the Communists. 4. The Role of the CFR in The Establishment.
5. How the Establishment Controls the Universities. 6. Establishment
Influence on the Election of Presidents. 7. The Influence of Cecil Rhodes.
8. The One Thing the Establishment Fears.

     1.Who Runs The Establishment. The greatest value of Tragedy and
     Hope is that it constitutes a bold and boastful admission BY ONE
     ON THE INSIDE of the Establishment that there actually exists a
     relatively small but powerful group which has succeeded in
     acquiring a choke-hold on the affairs of America and Europe. Dr.
     Quigley identified this group as the 'international bankers,' men
     who are quite 'different from ordinary bankers in distinctive
     ways: they were cosmopolitan and international; they were close
     to governments and were particularly concerned with questions of
     government debts. . .; they were almost equally devoted to
     secrecy and the secret use of financial influence in political
     life. These bankers came to be called international bankers and,
     more particularly, were known as merchant bankers in England,
     private bankers in France, and investment bankers in the United
     States.'

     Dr. Quigley shows that the core of control is in the financial
     dynasties of Europe and America who have exercised political
     control through the formation of international financial
     combines. These monopoly money dynasties learned the elementary
     lesson that all governments must have sources of revenue from
     which to borrow in times of emergency. By providing such funds,
     the international bankers could make both kings and democratic
     leaders tremendously subservient to their will. Quigley names who
     they are. He tells how they hid the extent of their immense
     wealth from the public by keeping their firms unincorporated,
     usually partnerships, offering no shares, no reports, and usually
     no advertising.

     Dr. Quigley traces the immense power and control exercised by the
     Rothschilds, the Bank of England, J.P. Morgan, and the
     Rockefellers. By 1900, according to Dr. Quigley, 'the influence
     of these business leaders was so great that the Morgan and
     Rockefeller groups acting together, or even Morgan acting alone,
     could have wrecked the economic system of the country.'

     By the beginning of the twentieth century, the American economy
     had become so dynamic that the major banking dynasties found it
     increasingly difficult to maintain a tight control. Furthermore,
     their control was being challenged as a major political issue in
     national elections. So the Morgan and Rockefeller dynasties
     decided to follow the pattern of monopoly control over finance
     established by the Bank of England, that is a PRIVATELY
     controlled institution which had the APPEARANCE of an official
     government institution. The result was the Federal Reserve Act,
     originally plotted in a secret meeting on Jekyl Island in 1910
     attended by representatives of the Morgan and Rockefeller banks.
     The Federal Reserve bill was introduced into the Senate by
     Senator Nelson Aldrich, grandfather of Governor Nelson Aldrich
     Rockefeller. The original bill failed because Aldrich was too
     closely connected with Morgan and Wall Street.

     The Morgan-Rockefeller group then realized they had to have
     Democratic backing in order to erase the Wall Street taint of the
     bill. The opportunity presented itself during the election of
     1912. Desperate to defeat President William Howard Taft (who
     opposed the Aldrich bill), Wall Street poured funds into the
     campaigns of both Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, in order
     to split the Republicans and assure the election of Wilson.

     The operation of the Federal Reserve is one of the most
     interesting and mysterious combines in the country. Since it was
     founded in 1913, it has successfully resisted every attempt to
     conduct an audit of its affairs. Its most recent political
     activity was to manipulate the interest rates during 1970 to the
     highest in 100 years which quickly caused a recession. This was
     blamed on the Republicans, and insured the election of a Democrat
     Congress. When David Kennedy, the Nixon Secretary of the
     Treasury, was asked about the credit-tightening policies of the
     Federal Reserve, he replied: 'It's not my job to approve or
     disapprove. It is the action of the Federal Reserve.'

     2. How the Tax-Exempt Foundations are the Base of Operations. Dr.
     Quigley tells of the panic the Establishment went into at the
     formation of the Special Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt
     Foundations in 1953 with Congressman Carroll Reece of Tennessee
     as chairman. In substance, Dr. Quigley admits the truth of the
     excellent book by Rene A. Wormser called Foundations: Their Power
     and Influence which detailed the facts about foundations as
     uncovered by the Reece investigation. Here are some criticisms of
     tax-exempt foundations given in the Wormser book: a) How they
     interlock into a monolithic monopoly of power to carry out
     globalist policies. b) How they develop an elite corps of social
     engineers with a compulsive drive to remake the world along
     Socialist lines. c) How the foundation-sponsored Kinsey report
     was deliberately designed as an attack on Judaic-Christian
     morality. d) How they imported a Swedish Socialist to produce a
     study on American Negro which has been used to justify
     revolutionary activities. e) How they use the ultimatum 'conform
     or no grant' to subvert and American education. f) How they
     finance and promote Socialist textbooks. g) How they push Rhodes
     scholars into Government service. h) How they produce history
     books which keep Americans from learning the truth. I) How they
     promote the United Nations as the home base for the
     Socialist-Communist coalition.

     Dr. Quigley explains why the Reece investigation did not have the
     impact it should have had: 'It soon became clear that people of
     immense wealth would be unhappy if the investigation went too far
     and that the most respected newspapers in the country, closely
     allied with these men of wealth, would not get excited enough
     about any revelations to make the publicity worthwhile, in terms
     of votes or campaign contributions.'

       GSG offers Foundations: Their Power and Influence, see books.

     3. How The Establishment Helped Give China to the Communists. The
     Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in 16 volumes of hearings
     documented beyond any doubt that China was lost to the Communists
     by the deliberate actions of a group of academic experts on the
     Far East, and Communist fellow travelers whose work was
     controlled and coordinated by the Institute of Pacific Relations.

     Dr. Quigley adds a new dimension to the China story. He says:
     'The influence of the Communists in IPR is well established, but
     the patronage of Wall Street is less well known.' He shows how
     the IPR money came from the Carnegie Foundation, the Rockefeller
     Foundation, and specific Wall Street interests, adding, 'The
     financial deficits which occurred each year were picked up by
     financial angels, almost all with close Wall Street connections,'
     including Frederick Vanderbilt Field, Thomas Lamont, the senior
     head of J.P. Morgan and Company, and his son, Corliss Lamont.'

     Dr. Quigley, in talking about the loss of China, admits the
     thesis of the great book by John T. Flynn, While You Slept, who
     was the first to expose how the leading book review journals are
     loaded to aid the Communists. Dr. Quigley states: 'It is also
     true that this group, from its control of funds, academic
     recommendations, and research or publication opportunities, could
     favor persons who accepted the established consensus and could
     injure, financially or in professional advancement, persons who
     did not accept it. It is also true that the established group, by
     its influence on book reviewing in The New York Times, theHerald
     Tribune, the Saturday Review, a few magazines, including the
     liberal weeklies, and in the professional journals, could advance
     or hamper any specialist's career. It is also true that these
     things were done in the United States in regard to the Far East
     by the Institute of Pacific Relations, that this organization had
     been infiltrated by Communists, and by Communist sympathizers,
     and that much of this group's influence arose from its access to
     and control over the flow of funds from foundations to scholarly
     activities.'

     4. The Role of the CFR in the Establishment. Dr. Quigley
     describes the Council on Foreign Relations as one of several
     'front' organizations set up by the inner group for the purpose
     of advancing its conspiratorial schemes. Dr. Quigley explains
     more specifically that the Council on Foreign Relations 'was a
     front for J.P. Morgan and Company.' Some idea of the influence of
     the Council of Foreign Relations may be gleaned from the fact
     that there were 74 CFR members in the American delegation to the
     United Nations Conference at San Francisco in 1945, including
     Alger Hiss (Communist spy), Harry Dexter White (Soviet agent),
     Owen Lattimore ('a conscious, articulate instrument of the Soviet
     international conspiracy'), John J. McCloy (formerly head of the
     Rockefeller Chase-Manhattan Bank), Harold Stassen, Nelson
     Rockefeller, John Foster Dulles, Philip Jessup and Dean Acheson.

     Internationally, the CFR is interlocked with the Bilderbergers,
     the Pugwash Conferences, the English-speaking Union, the Pilgrims
     Society, and the Round Table. Within the United States, CFR
     members are interlocked with the American Association for the
     United Nations, the Foreign Policy Association, the World Affairs
     Council, the Committee for Economic Development, Business
     Advisory Council, Commission on National Goals, American
     Assembly, National Planning Association, and Americans for
     Democratic Action.

     5. How the Establishment Controls the Universities. Dr. Quigley
     explains in detail how for generations the international
     financiers have dominated American universities through their
     control of university endowment money. He tells how Columbia
     University was dominated by J.P. Morgan and Company. and 'its
     president, Nicholas Murray Butler, was Morgan's chief spokesman
     from ivied halls.' Butler once said, 'The world is divided in to
     three classes of people: a very small group that makes things
     happen, a somewhat larger group that watches things happen, and
     the great multitude which never knows what happened.' Dr. Quigley
     gives many examples of how the international bankers placed their
     men as presidents of leading universities, including the
     placement of Dwight Eisenhower as president of Columbia.

     Columbia University was the intellectual rostrum of the father of
     Progressive Education, John Dewey, and his favored disciples,
     William H. Kilpatrick, Harold O. Rugg, and George S. Counts,
     author of Dare the Schools Build a New Social Order? which urged
     teachers to 'deliberately reach for power and then make the most
     of their conquest.'

     6. Establishment Influence on the Election of Presidents. Dr.
     Quigley tells how and why the Establishment was determined to
     defeat and destroy Barry Goldwater in 1964, unleashing a torrent
     of rage against him with such epithets as 'extremist,' 'racist,'
     'atomic bomber,' 'trigger happy,' 'warmonger,' and
     'psychologically unfit.'

     Dr. Quigley tells how the international financiers manipulated
     the nomination of Dwight Eisenhower at the Republican National
     Convention in 1952. As Quigley explains, 'The lower-middle-class
     groups had preferred Senator Taft as their leader. Eisenhower,
     however, had been preferred by the eastern establishment of old
     Wall Street, Ivy League, semi-aristocratic Anglophiles whose real
     strength rested in their control of eastern financial endowments,
     operating from foundations, academic halls, and other tax-exempt
     refuges.'

     Dr. Quigley explains Establishment support of John F. Kennedy
     like this: 'Kennedy, despite his Irish Catholicism, was an
     Establishment figure. This did not arise from his
     semi-aristocratic attitudes or his Harvard connections . . .
     These helped, but John Kennedy's introduction to the
     Establishment arose from his support of Britain, in opposition to
     his father, in the critical days at the American Embassy in
     London in 1938- 40. His acceptance into the English Establishment
     opened its American branch as well.'

     In describing the Communist sympathizers and fellow travelers who
     took over in the United States under the Roosevelt
     Administration, Dr. Quigley says: 'It must be recognized that the
     power that these energetic left-wingers exercised was never their
     own power or Communist power but was ultimately the power of the
     international financial coterie.'

     7. The Influence of Cecil Rhodes. The great and lasting influence
     of the Englishman, Cecil Rhodes, who had the money to
     propagandize for the strange ideas he believed in, is spelled out
     in detail by Dr. Quigley: 'In the middle of 1890s Rhodes had a
     personal income of at least a million pounds sterling a year
     (then about $5,000,000) which was spent so freely for his
     mysterious purposes that he was usually overdrawn on his account
     . . . These purposes centered on his desire to federate the
     English-speaking peoples and to bring all the habitable portions
     of the world under their control. For this purpose Rhodes left
     part of his great fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at
     Oxford . . .'

     Rhodes formed a secret society called the 'Circle of Initiates,'
     along with other fronts for those who were not on the inside.
     According to Dr. Quigley, 'The power and influence of the
     Rhodes-Milner group in British imperial affairs and in foreign
     policy since 1889, although not widely recognized, can hardly be
     exaggerated.' For example, Dr. Quigley goes on to show how this
     group dominated The London Times from 1890 to 1912 and 'has
     controlled it completely since 1912 (except for the years
     1919-1922).' [See The Anglo-American Establishment for more on
     Rhodes.]

     What we call the Eastern Establishment is the American branch of
     the Rhodes organization. J.P. Morgan and Company was the inner
     core of command, and the Council on Foreign Relations is its
     principal front. The Eastern Establishment extended its influence
     in the press in the same way in the United States as the Rhodes
     group did in England. According to Dr. Quigley, 'The American
     branch of this English Establishment extended much of its
     influence through five American newspapers (The New York Times,
     New York Herald Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, The
     Washington Post, and the lamented Boston Evening Transcript).'

     Dr. Quigley also shows how the Establishment reached out to
     control the left-wing press as well. He names the Wall Street
     fortunes which established the New Republic, and says that 'the
     original purpose for establishing the paper was to provide an
     outlet for the progressive Left and to guide it quietly in an
     Anglophile direction. . . . This latter task was entrusted to . .
     . Walter Lippmann . . . the authentic spokesman in American
     journalism for the Establishments on both sides of the Atlantic
     in international affairs.'

     8. The One Thing the Establishment Fears. Dr. Quigley describes
     the conflict between grassroots Americans and the Establishment
     as 'the Midwest of Tom Sawyer against the cosmopolitan East of
     J.P. Morgan and Company, of old Siwash against Harvard, of the
     Chicago Tribune against the Washington Post or The New York Times
     . . .' He leaves no doubt as to where the real power centers are.

     Dr. Quigley admits that nothing panics the international
     Establishment like the possibility of a threatened exposure.
     Whenever the public became somewhat aware of the conspiratorial
     processes, the vast, interlocking power structure of the whole
     London-Wall Street combine immediately shifted into high gear to
     cover up their agents and their tracks.

     This is why the Establishment has viciously attacked nearly every
     Congressional investigation. Congressional hearings are the best
     sources of unvarnished truth we have had in America in the last
     35 years. The Establishment turned all their heavy guns against
     Democrat Congressman Martin Dies, Republican Congressman Carroll
     Reece, Democrat Senator Pat McCarrran, and Republican Senator
     Joseph McCarthy because they were opening up the secrets of the
     conspiracy for the American people to see.

     The American people had been nationally alerted to the fact of
     Communist infiltration of our Government by the Alger Hiss
     conviction in 1950, and to the fact that our boys were sent off
     to fight no-win wars in which the Communists had privileged
     sanctuaries by the Korean War of 1950-52. By the time of the
     Communist takeover of Cuba in 1959, nearly everyone knew
     something had to be terribly wrong at the top.

     Unfortunately, the Establishment counteroffensive spearheaded by
     the Reuther Memorandum and the Fulbright Memorandum has been very
     successful in intimidating American citizens from taking action
     and spreading information.

     However, there has been a steady growth in the number of informed
     patriots. They are the true 'Hope' of the country. In 1964,
     27,000,000 of them proved that they could resist intimidation and
     insult of every vicious kind, and still stand up and be counted
     for their convictions.

See books for how to attain Tragedy and Hope or continue reading about The
Anglo-American Establishment where Carroll Quigley unravels the story of
people who have been a force behind shaping British and American history.
Though The Anglo-American Establishment was completed in 1949, it was not
published until 1981. Even as a renowned scholar with a best selling book
the Evolution of Civilizations, The Anglo- American Establishment was
rejected by 15 publishers.

Carroll Quigley states in the preface and introduction:

     The Rhodes Scholarships, established by the terms of Cecil
     Rhodes's seventh will, are known to everyone. What is not so
     widely known is that Rhodes in five previous wills left his
     fortune to form a secret society, which was to devote itself to
     the preservation and expansion of the British Empire. And what
     does not seem to be known to anyone is that this secret society
     was created by Rhodes and his principal trustee, Lord Milner, and
     continues to exist to this day. ...This society has been known at
     various times as Milner's Kindergarten, as the Round Table Group,
     as the Rhodes crowd, as The Times crowd, as the All Souls group,
     and as the Cliveden set. ... This Group is, as I shall show, one
     of the most important historical facts of the twentieth century.
     . . .

     Facts came to me from sources which I am not permitted to name,
     and I have mentioned them only where I can produce documentary
     evidence available to everyone. . . . I feel that the truth has a
     right to be told, and, once told, can be an injury to no men of
     good will.

     One wintry afternoon in February 1891, three men were engaged in
     earnest conversation in London. From that conversation were to
     flow consequences of the greatest importance to the British
     Empire and to the world as a whole. ... The leader was Cecil
     Rhodes, fabulously wealthy empire-builder and the most important
     person in South Africa. The second was William T. Stead, the most
     famous, and probably also the most sensational, journalist of the
     day. The third was Reginald Baliol Brett, later known as Lord
     Esher, friend and confidant of Queen Victoria, and later to be
     the most influential adviser of King Edward VII and King George
     V. . . .

     This organization has been able to conceal its existence quite
     successfully, and many of its most influential members, satisfied
     to possess the reality rather than the appearance of power, are
     unknown even to close students of British history.
