The Anglo-American Establishment: An Autopsy

Introduction

Network (1976), is a film that becomes more relevant and accurate with every day that passes in our instantaneous times. The amazing paradox is that while things seem to change at warp speed, they stay the same. As Twain said “History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.” Network was directed by a Hollywood legend Sidney Lumet and was written by Paddy Chayefsky, a heavyweight in his own right, looking at his film credits a few films standout. One of which is Altered States (1980), which was obviously based on MK-ULTRA experimentation and its effects. It seems as if Chayefsky was keenly aware of the power behind the throne the general public had not been exposed to.

Network is a brilliant movie and a standout during one of Hollywood’s best decades; but we will focus on one scene in particular due to how revealing and honest it is. The “Corporate Cosmology Speech” touches on every power cord of what the “unhinged far right conspiracy theorist” would define as The New World Order. While it can be discarded as “just a movie” by normies and boomers, its obvious for anyone who wants to use their brain that this speech is art imitating life. But are the conclusions “conspirtologists” make accurate when held up to analysis?

Quigley

Is there any real world substance to what Mr. Jensen (Ned Betty) is scolding Howard Beal (Peter Finch) about in this scene? Carroll Quigley’s two works Tragedy and Hope and Anglo-American Establishment are Rosetta Stones to understand how the world actually functions. Quigley was no fringe nutcase, Quigley was a Harvard educated historian who taught at Princeton, Harvard and finally at The Foreign Service School at Georgetown University where he was the mentor to many future diplomats and dignitaries most infamously William Jefferson Clinton. Furthermore, Quigley appears to have been the official historian of the Council on Foreign Relations for a period of time. Quigley’s examination of the CFR’s internal records and papers are how he was able to produce the profound and previously unheard of information in the two books mentioned above. Quigley’s work touches on every point that Mr. Jensen makes in his theatrical speech. Let’s examine some key passages from Tragedy and Hope:

International Banking Model, The “Jew” Deal & Fredrich List
