... some senior Bush Administration officials denied that Iraq's substantial oil reserves had any bearing on the decision to invade, and Blair dismissed it as a 'conspiracy theory', it was obvious to many observers that improving access to Iraq's oil was driving the invasion.63 This had long been part of the neo-conservatives plans: PNAC's 1998 letter to Clinton, warned that unless Saddam was removed 'a significant portion of the world's supply of oil will be put at hazard.

... privately boasted of groping women, admitted getting his mistress (Marla Maples) pregnant while still married to his first wife (Ivana Trump), and bragged of having 'three other girlfriends' while 'living with Marla'.1 Despite this record, many conservative evangelical leaders and other champions of 'family values' supported his candidacy against former Senator Hillary Clinton.2 Trump appears to be surviving even apparently calculated leaks by hostile U.S . intelligence officials of unsubstantiated reports that Russian spies 'tried to blackmail him with sex tapes' that showed him cavorting with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room.3 Books cited in the footnotes are listed in the bibliography at the end of the essay. ...

... 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 ...

Given the status and photogenic nature of the individuals concerned this was hardly surprising. Little was said in the media, though, about the duos' grand entrance, accompanied by the Prime Minister and his wife, at the Labour Party Northern Social, always one of the better organised and attended events at the week long conference.

... 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.

... 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- ...

NuLab's major policies were learned by Brown and Blair on their trips to America in the early 1990s. It was from the Clinton administration that they learned the value of letting the money men loose; they followed America into the housing debt-fuelled boom and bust of the new millennium which exploded after Clinton had gone but which had been initiated by his administration;2 9 and they copied the Clinton regime's belief that immigration was the route to economic growth.
