I may have a clue. Most people have ruminated on how and why Bill Clinton continues to be protected and even empowered by a seemingly omnipotent invisible force. Is it God, perhaps? Or even luck? But whatever it is, it seems to work in 'strange and wondrous ways'. Might we think about it? An increasing few believe that a very conscious 'network' of interests, who have long advanced and fostered Clinton's career, now seem resolute to protect him at almost any cost. It also seems that their ability to forge public opinion is awesome. It is a profound mystery, why the elite of America's leaders, inside the press, the academic world, and even the staid foreign policy establishment, continue to protect him - even after he has been publicly exposed, and proven to be criminal, in law, and morally bankrupt as well. What can he say to Mrs. Broaddrick's charges with any degree of credibility. So, he says nothing and the elite media charade continues unabashed. A Few Nagging Questions Why has the top brass, who control NBC 'spiked' a sensational story, that even their own news executives, after full investigation, see as a "very credible," allegation of rape and cover-up against Bill Clinton by a seemingly very credible Mrs. Juanita Broaddrick? Those who have talked to her say she is fully aware of the ruined lives and multiple deaths strewn all over the Clinton battlefield. She fears for her precious life. She fears for the livelihood of her family's nursing home business which is regulated by the corrupt Arkansas political machine. Why is she coming out of the closet now? In an earlier version of this review, I said it was "knowledge of what "this monster" [her words], might do to the nation. Seeing what is happening won't let her keep silent any longer. She is trapped. Perhaps so, perhaps not. " Then the Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal state that she wanted to clear her husband of allegations that he had accepted 'major favors' in return for silence. She obviously believes there were none. This is probably true and helps to explain why OIC Starr and the House Managers decided not bring her experience to bear in the House and Senate proceedings. But, both major stories in the Journal and the Post were in fact stories about NBC and why 'someone' saw fit to override both Tim Russert and Lisa Myers who fought tooth and nail for a timely air date. NBC is a 'network' and 'networking' brings us to the renowned expert in this field, Dr. Carroll Quigley. Is there a concerted 'network' protecting Bill Clinton? Perhaps a clue can be found in reading what Roger Morris reveals about Dr. Carroll Quigley in his best selling book, Partners in Power. Dr. Quigley was Bill Clinton's mentor and teacher at Georgetown University. Before his recent death, Professor Quigley was considered the world's leading expert on a 'power clique' which he described as a 'concerted network' which shapes political destiny and fosters talented politicians like Bill Clinton. If Knowledge is power, and few will argue differently, Bill Clinton owes both his knowledge and power to the 'network' introduced to him by Dr. Quigley. The question I have is this: Is this the 'network' with seemingly godlike powers which continues to protect Bill Clinton at the sacrifice of America's 'rule of law'? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Special Two Minute Excerpt from Partners in Power by Roger Morris - - - Spread across a hundred acres on the rolling bluffs above the Potomac in northwest Washington, the Georgetown campus was one of the capital's landmarks. Overlooking the river were the Gothic spires of the venerable and picturesque Georgetown College for arts and sciences. On the gracious Georgetown campus that autumn, [1967], where a future president was intent on the politics of the moment, Virginia Clinton had come to help get him settled, and his provincial Arkansas education had raised eyebrows from the start. "What in the name of the Holy Father is a Southern Baptist who can't speak a foreign language doing in the mother of all Jesuit schools?" a priest had asked them smilingly but pointedly when they checked in. "Don't worry," her son had told her. "They'll know what I'm doing here when I've been here awhile." Less than a day later he was campaigning for freshman class president... John Kalell, a freshman, remembered the tall, cheery Southerner coming by the dormitory already leading a "a coterie" of students who "had some belief in him," thrusting out his hand to introduce himself, and asking, "How'd you like to sign a petition to have a television placed in the lounge on this floor?" Typically, others saw the affable young man from Hot Springs as determined "to soak up every ounce of information and experience he could find" and doing so "with a hunger and gusto bewildering to those with far less self-assurance." His most lasting academic impression seems to have been a required freshman course, Development of Civilization, a survey of European history taught by Carroll Quigley, one of the Georgetown's more colorful professors, who was known to conclude his lectures on classical political theory by flamboyantly tossing Plato's Republic or some other masterpiece out the second story classroom window. Quigley knowingly explained the connections between money, technology, class, and political power that conventional history often obscured-the role of the stirrup in the rise of the European aristocracy or how a technical impasse in gold mining prompted Roman imperial expansion. Renowned on campus, his final lecture was always on what he called "the key to the success of Western civilization," the "future preference" of both Europe and the United States- "the willingness" as one student remembered it, "to make sacrifices today to secure a better future... to prefer the future over the present." Citizens had a "moral responsibility" to build for posterity, the professor admonished them. Quigley's "future preference" would echo in Bill Clinton's later speeches- "that fundamental truth {which} has guided my political career," he called it. Clinton even mentioned the late professor in accepting the 1992 presidential nomination. But Quigley was also the proponent of a rather less idealistic view of American politics. A consultant to the space program, the Pentagon, and the Smithsonian, he had written a 1,300 page book grandly titled Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Times, in which he extolled the way both the Democrats and the Republicans, while maintaining a democratic illusion for popular consumption, were fundamentally subservient to powerful special interest. Political parties are "simply organizations to be used," and big business has been "the dominant element in both parties since 1900," he wrote. "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies...is a foolish idea. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can throw the rascals out at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy. The policies that are vital and necessary for America are no longer subjects of significant disagreement, but are disputable only in detail, procedure, priority, or method." Quigley was especially impressed by the old foreign affairs establishment, part of a larger Anglo-American financial and corporate elite and what he called a "power structure between London and New York which penetrated deeply into university life, the press, and the practice of foreign policy." He saw the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations- as a concerted, if not conspiratorial, international network. Quigley approved heartily of the council's "powerful influence" and "very significant role in the history of the United States"; he "admired its goals and agreed with its methods," concluded a student. He exaggerated the import of the council itself, as apart from the wider sociology of knowledge implicit in its otherwise mincing discussions and publications. But the somewhat awestruck academic did capture much of the intellectual-psychological conformity and co-option of the old establishment, its society of status and orthodoxy so conventional, so linked to corporate and financial power, after all, as to dispense with conspiracy. Clinton found Quigley "fascinating, electrifying, and brilliant," said a fellow student, Harold Snider. "Dr. Quigley was our mentor and friend. He left an indelible impression on our lives." Quigley had thought one mark of laudable elite dominance in Washington of the 1960s was "the large number of Oxford-trained men" in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and he was alert to make his own students eligible for power. Clinton and others who did well he urged to apply for Rhodes scholarships and similar grants. By the 1990s, as it happened, the eccentric Georgetown lecturer had acquired a kind of posthumous vindication in the number of like-minded and properly groomed figures crowding the campaigns and appointment lists of both George Bush and Bill Clinton. "If he is to be believed," one former student would say of the late Carroll Quigley during the 1992 election.
