Bombshells in Professor Carroll Quiqley's "Tragedy and Hope," PART 2

I suppose after building up my topic so much in the previous post, I should provide more quotes from Professor Quigley's book "Tragedy and Hope."  Here we go:

... the powers of financial capitalism had (a) far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.  This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences....
Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world. (p. 324)

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. (p. 950)

At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of this system had to be greatly extended.... Lionel Curtis... established, in England and each dominion, a front organization to the existing local Round Table Group... This front organization, called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group.  In New York it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a front for J.P. Morgan and Company in association with the very small American Round Table Group.  The American organizers were dominated by the large number of Morgan 'experts'... who had gone to the Paris Peace Conference and there became close friends with the similar group of English 'experts' which had been recruited by the Milner group.  In fact, the original plans for the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Council on Foreign Relations were drawn up at Paris.  The Council of the RIIA ... and the board of the Council on Foreign Relations have carried ever since the marks of their origin. (951-952)

More on the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) later.
