From an interview with Gary Allen, who wrote “The Rockefeller Files”:

Q. How did you become involved in investigating the Trilateral group?

A. My interest in power-structure research dates back long before David Rockefeller organized the Trilateral Commission in 1972. Its immediate antecedents are the Council on Foreign Relations (C.F.R.) and the Bilderbergers. The former is a secretive group of American-based bankers, academics, and industrialists that has controlled U.S. foreign policy since Franklin Roosevelt. The latter, equally exclusive and secretive, is composed of top United States and European bankers and corporate and political leaders. The Council on Foreign Relations has been run from New York since its founding after World War I. The Bilderbergers have been secretly meeting annually at plush international spas for the past 28 years to coordinate economic, commercial, and political policies.

The first of the post-war writers to examine the Council on Foreign Relations and the policies it advocated, promoted, and eventually turned into official U.S. policy was Dan Smoot, who published The Invisible Government in 1963. This important book was essentially a reference manual on the structure of the C.F.R., listing its membership, its satellite organizations, and its goals.

The next major breakthrough was developed by Don Bell, who had been publishing a newsletter for 27 years on secret arrangements and agreements made by the international banking community. Bell obtained and excerpted sections of Professor Carroll Quigley’s 1,450-page Tragedy And Hope, a history of the first half of the Twentieth Century. Less than 100 pages in that book deal with international banking, but they proved to be dynamite.

Q. What was so special about the Quigley study?

A. Professor Quigley was a part of the Council on Foreign Relations elite. He came to the group via Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. And he was so trusted that he was given access to the archives of the C.F.R. Quigley reached the conclusion, based on the archival material, that the international banking community was manipulating not only the great corporations to which it made loans, and whose stocks it held, but also the foreign and domestic policies of the U.S. Government.

Carroll Quigley died in early January 1977. A few weeks later his long-time research assistant and personal friend, Miss Helen E. Veit, telephoned me to ask if I would be her lawyer for the probate of Quigley’s last will and testament, which left to her all rights to his books, papers and research materials, but which Quigley’s widow intended to contest.

Happily, a compromise between Lillian Quigley and Helen Veit was reached and a will contest avoided. Carroll Quigley’s wishes were all honored.

I hope that someday Carroll Quigley will have an appropriate web site on the internet. I have a huge collection of his writings, as well as many tape recordings of his lectures. It amazes me, almost thirty years after his death, how relevant many of Quigley’s lectures and writings remain.

In 1961 a student interviewed Quigley at length and published an article on his life, The Improbable Carroll Quigley.

Carroll Quigley was not only a natural-born “great” teacher; he was also a serious student of what it takes to be(come) a “great” teacher.

Several of his essays on education have lasting value: “Is Georgetown University Committing ‘Suicide’?”

Some of his best writing was about the founders of GU’s School of Foreign Service: the thoughtful “Father Walsh as I Knew Him” and the surprising “Constantine McGuire: Man of Mystery”.

As anyone can see, many of the people still interested in Carroll Quigley seem to have taken entirely out of context the extensive references that he made in his book Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time to a high-level Anglophile conspiracy that he said flourished before World War II. It seems many people believe that Quigley thought that this vast conspitacy somehow continues to operate right up to our own day.

But as Dr.Quigley once told me, the reality is much scarier. Instead of a secret cabal now being in charge, no one is in charge. We have instead a kind of chaos or anarchy.
