... , in particular, to plot the downfall of Paul Warnke, Carter's arms negotiator. Soon the CPD coalition included the New Right, giving the militarists a mass populist basis. The ground was set for the 1980 election in which the Reagan campaign took over the old John Birch Society line and denounced the Trilateral Commission as a pro-Communist conspiracy. The rest is history (and may be the last we'll ever get.) But there's more to the story Sanders has to tell. He traces names and tactics of the contemporary CPD to an earlier Committee on the Present Danger that was active in the late forties and early fifties. This was a prestige body of establishment intellectuals ...

... 'From the 1920s, the Round Table ceased to be of much relevance as some members developed international interests wider than imperial matters... ' Carroll Quigley, of course, is not cited - not even for refutation - and the closest we get to him is the comment of the Round Table that 'as an organization that shunned publicity, conspiracy theories abound.... ' However, the authors go on to note that the Council on Foreign Relations and the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA) 'emerged after the Versailles Peace Conference', and note further that the RIIA 'spawned several offspring throughout the Commonwealth.

I lost track of it in subsequent summers, when I first suffered a major illness, and then was side-tracked into preparation of a trade book on the Kennedy Assassination (Beyond Conspiracy) that was eventually killed by its publisher on the eve of its appearance. I am grateful to Lobster for reviving 'Transnationalised Repression'. Though the essay starts from events of the seventies (Watergate, the murder of Orlando Letelier in Washington, the Nixon war on drugs) which have since passed into history, the essay also builds ...

... a lot of bloody nonsense. I can't claim to have read it all (to do that I would need a large bribe), and for any one who wants an accurate sample of it, the extracts published in the Sunday Times (11th and 18th March 1984) are entirely representative of the larger work. Golitsyn offers a gigantic conspiracy theory the like of which is rarely found outside the fantasies of the loony right-wing (or parodies of that, such as Wilson/Shea's spoof Illuminatus trilogy). That was written through a series of stupendous giggling fits: Golitsyn means it, or, at any rate, pretends to mean it. Golitsyn's thesis is simple ...

Consequently he has missed the extent to which Mrs Thatcher was, in the shorthand of the British Right, 'a patriot'; in other words, someone who accepted the conspiracy theory of 'the enemy within', in which the Soviet Union ran the CPGB, which ran the unions, which ran the Labour Party.
