Ever think maybe it's a left-wing conspiracy of Rhodes scholars?
By Charley Reese
Published in The Orlando Sentinel, Jan 26 1999
You remember, of course, Hillary Clinton going on national television
and asserting that there was a right-wing conspiracy out to get her poor,
innocent husband. Well, suppose there is a left-wing conspiracy of
Rhodes scholars out to "get" Americans?
Oh, pshaw, you say. What kind of nonsense is that? Well, recall again
that Bill Clinton, at about the time of his first inauguration, mentioned that
a man who had great influence on him was Carroll Quigley, professor of
history at the Foreign Service School of Georgetown University. Quigley,
who died some years ago, was a certified liberal elitist, but he said
something quite intriguing in his excellent book Tragedy and Hope, a
1,348-page history of modern times.
On page 950, after mocking conservative theories of international
influence, Quigley wrote:
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international
Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the
radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which
we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to
cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently
does so. 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 1960s,
to examine its papers and secret records.
"I have no aversion to it or to most of its aims," he wrote, "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."
The italics in the above quotes are mine. Poor Dr. Quigley didn't know,
when his book was published in 1965, just how much "it" wished to
remain unknown. The publisher, not long afterward, took the unusual
step of taking the book out of print and destroying the plates without
consulting Quigley. I verified this myself in a telephone interview with his
widow. She said he had been extremely upset when he learned of it. He
died not long afterward.
Betcha a beer you've never heard much about Round Table Groups
operating secretly in the United States to influence public policy.
All of this started, according to Quigley, with John Ruskin, professor at
Oxford, who developed this strange and frankly racist notion that the
English upper classes were possessors of a magnificent tradition but, in
order to save themselves, must uplift the downtrodden masses -- both
in England and around the world. Cecil Rhodes became one of Ruskin's
ardent disciples.
Rhodes was also, of course, a dirty, rotten imperialist who, with financial
support from Lord Rothschild and Alfred Beit, monopolized South
Africa's diamond mines as DeBeers Consolidated Mines and built up
Consolidated Gold Fields. Let Quigley take it from here:
"These purposes centered on his [Rhodes] 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 to spread the
English ruling class tradition . . . as Ruskin had wanted."
Thus was born country-club liberalism and from these Round Table
Groups came the Council on Foreign Relations and what is called in
America "the Eastern Establishment." Shucks, folks, I think that this
tony, high-class conspiracy is a lot more interesting than those blue-
collar, right-wing conspiracies. I wonder if anybody has ever been called
a racist for speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations.
