(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 25) June 1993 Last| Contents| Next Issue 25 Clinton and Quigley: a strange tale from the U.S. elite Robin Ramsay U.S. President Bill Clinton has made a number of public references to the impresssion made on him as a young student by Professor Carroll Quigley. (1) As Lobster readers will know, Quigley was the author of Tragedy and Hope (U.S., MacMillan, 1966) in which he described for the first time the role of the Round Table network and its origins in the megalomaniacal fantasies of Cecil Rhodes. From the Round Table grew the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR); and from the CFR ...

... three, according to former Houston Post journalist Peter Brewton, ended up in the hands of the CIA and the Mafia. The press has also (mostly) steered clear of allegations that the CIA ran drugs and weapons through the small airstrip at Mena, Arkansas. For this is anotherbipartisan scandal which forces us to examine not just then governor Clinton, who allegedly protected the operation, but also Oliver North, George Bush and the entire contra effort. The details of this insanely complex affair now fill a 600-page volume called Compromised by John Cummings and Terry Reed, published by SPI books (New York, 1994, $23.95) Briefly: Terry Reed functioned as an army intelligence ...

... near miss five years earlier. Only the veteran journalist Alastair Cooke gave the 1998 crisis any serious discussion in two editions of his 'Letter from America', broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on 15 June and 11 August this year. The story is instructive on two levels. First because it suggests that it may be wrong to claim that if Clinton or Gore had been in the White House there would have been no war and secondly for what it tells us about British foreign policy in the Blair era. Let's look at the details. The autumn of 1997 saw deteriorating relations between the USA and Iraq. The issue was Iraq's unwillingness to open to UN inspectors all sites where there ...

"I know how these bastards think.."'( [2]) Syd's tell Although essentially a hagiography, Sydney Blumenthal's 800 page memoir of life at the Clinton White House, The Clinton Wars (London: Viking, 2003), contains a very interesting account of the enormous efforts (and expense) by the Republicans and their corporate supporters to smear Bill Clinton. There is much talk of truth and honesty. How curious then that Blumenthal tells a spectacular fib about his own career, stating ...

Another current source of conspiracy theories is the Clinton-Whitewater-Mena-drugs-coca ine-CIA-contra story. Are there Clinton buffs out there now following the Clinton scandals the way there are Kennedy buffs? Maybe one would get in touch and explain to me how much of it is true.

... reminded of the centrality of Geoffrey Robinson's money which funded John Smith's office; provided a flat in London for Brown to use; funded McCauley Hobsbawm, the PR agency of Brown's wife; and bought the New Statesman, saving it from being absorbed by the Blair gang. On pp. 69/70 he tells us that Brown met Bill Clinton at Baden-Baden in Germany. From the context this is 1989. (Bower is vague on the details.) I think this is wrong. Brown met Clinton when both attended the Bilderberg meeting at Baden-Baden in 1991. At that meeting Brown and Clinton were both young politicians, possibly the next President of the US and a future British ...

A-A's Lloyd Miller wrote to me pointing out that Bill Clinton had been at Georgetown University where his tutor and mentor had been Carroll Quigley; that on leaving Georgetown Clinton went off to Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar; and that Clinton referred to Quigley in his acceptance speech to the Democratic Party convention.

... fan of 'spiritual forces', either. But I struggled on. The author appears to believe, rather like some 19th century thinkers did, that the world is the stage for conflicts between occult groups: Masons, Catholics (Opus Dei, I guess) and so forth. The book begins with an account of the rise of Bill Clinton which focuses on the role of the late Averell Harriman and his wife. The author notes Harriman's membership of the secret society Skull and Bones, at Yale University, and Bill Clinton's encountering Professor Carroll Quigley at Georgetown University and his subsequent Rhodes Scholarship. To the author this is tantamount to Clinton being inducted into an occult group. But ...

... been the political front for a series of massive criminal conspiracies. We might say that the Republican Party is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. Gore Vidal's quip that there is one political party in the US, with two wings, is only half true. I don't want to sound too naive here, but whereas the Democratic administrations (Carter, Clinton) mostly tried to do things for the common good as they perceived it (within the limitations imposed by their sources of finance), behind the Republican rhetoric of freedom and Jesus are crooks, gangsters, assassins and torturers – as well as their corporate sponsors. Parry discusses: Watergate (he has a new answer to the question ...

... . Naturally, I wondered who among the Bushes and the Saudis might consider themselves libelled. The book is based mostly on newspaper articles, footnoted, and a few interviews – one with James R. Bath, who brought bin Laden and Saudi money into Texas; one with Richard Clarke, the discontented 'counter-terrorism czar'. Unger is a Clinton fan and can't fault Bill on anything. He dislikes Bush II and the gang currently in the White House. He isn't sure how to deal with Bush 1. Sometimes he seems to view him as a kingly figure, at other times a minor courtier reduced to tears by minor acts of kindness on the part of the mega-rich Sauds ...
