Writing of the secret society founded by Cecil Rhodes, Professor Carroll Quigley warns that ?No country that values its safety should allow what the Milner Group accomplished ? that is, a small number of men would be able to wield such power in administration and politics, [and] should be given almost complete control over the publication of documents relating to their actions.. -------------------- THE RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS, established by the terms of Cecil Rhodes's seventh will, are known to everyone. What is not so widely known is that Rhodes in five previous wills left his fortune to form a secret society, which was to devote itself to the preservation and expansion of the British Empire. And what does not seem to be known to anyone is that this secret society was created by Rhodes and his principal trustee, Lord Milner, and continues to exist to this day. To be sure, this secret society is not a childish thing like the Ku Klux Klan, and it does not have any secret robes, secret handclasps, or secret passwords. It does not need any of these, since its members know each other intimately. It probably has no oaths of secrecy nor any formal procedure of initiation. It does, however, exist and holds secret meetings, over which the senior member present presides. At various times since 1891, these meetings have been presided over by Rhodes, Lord Milner, Lord Selborne, Sir Patrick Duncan, Field Marshal Jan Smuts, Lord Lothian, and Lord Brand. They have been held in all the British Dominions, starting in South Africa about 1903; in various places in London, chiefly Piccadilly; at various colleges at Oxford, chiefly All Souls; and at many English country houses such as Tring Park, Blickling Hall, Cliveden, and others. This society has been known at various times as Milner's Kindergarten, as the Round Table Group, as the Rhodes crowd, as The Times crowd, as the All Souls group, and as the Cliveden set. All of these terms are unsatisfactory, for one reason or another, and I have chosen to call it the Milner Group. Those persons who have used the other terms, or heard them used, have not generally been aware that all these various terms referred to the same Group. It is not easy for an outsider to write the history of a secret group of this kind, but, since no insider is going to do it, an outsider must attempt it. It should be done, for this Group is, as I shall show, one of the most important historical facts of the twentieth century. -------------------- In The Anglo-American Establishment, published in 1982, 5 years after his death because of its controversial material (several publishers would not publish it in when it was written in 1949, but his manuscript was after his death found on the Island of Rhodes), Carroll Quigley alleged that the Munich Pact had secretly been prepared as early as 1937 by Great Britain politicians to give Germany and the Soviet Union a common border to eventually destroy the latter in a war between the two. He alleged also that the crisis had been staged by Neville Chamberlain. Conspiracy theorists assailed Quigley for his approval of the goals (not the tactics) of the Anglo-American elite while selectively using his information and analysis as evidence for their views. Quigley himself thought that the influence of the Anglo-American elite had slowly waned after World War II and that, in American society after 1965, the problem was that no elite was in charge and acting responsibly. -------------------- In this book, Professor Quigley discusses how Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner, and others set up Rhodes secret society for the purpose of bringing the english speaking countries back under the control of British financial interests. Quigley details the start of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, and its branches in other countries, including the Council on Foreign Relations based in the United States. These organizations initially were funded, and are still funded by the banking interests. They are able to exert tremendous influence through the Roundtable Groups, which they control. "No country that values its safety should allow what the Milner group accomplished-- that is, that a small number of men would be able to wield such power in administration and politics, should be able to exercise such influence over the avenues of information that create public opinion, and should be able to monopolize so completely the writing and the teaching of the history of their own period." |
