Nice try ernie1241, but Carroll Quigley had another interesting book called "The Anglo-American Establishment," which further exposes Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner, and the Round Table Groups.

The Rhodes Legacy: Are Its Agents Shaping America's Destiny?

Sixteen years ago, President Bill Clinton returned to Oxford University for what The New York Times (6/9/94) called “a sentimental journey to the university where he didn’t inhale, didn’t get drafted and didn’t get a degree.” The Times article went on:
The last got rectified by Oxford University in a ceremony conducted by men in black gowns speaking Latin in a 325-year-old stone building designed by Christopher Wren. Mr. Clinton, who studied politics at University College as a Rhodes Scholar from the fall of 1968 to the spring of 1970, was awarded an honorary doctorate in civil law.
He was given the award for being “a doughty and tireless champion of the cause of world peace.” His wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was given a claret jug with a Latin inscription hailing her as “the Lady in charge of Universal Health.” After the ceremony, Clinton walked around the University grounds with his old Oxford roommate, Robert Reich, who became his Secretary of Labor.
The Times article then reminded us that it was at Oxford that Clinton was able to ride out the Vietnam War. And it was also at Oxford that Clinton wrote his infamous letter to the commander of the Reserve Officer Training Corps in Arkansas, thanking him for saving him from the draft. He said: “I am writing too in the hope that my telling this one story will help you to understand more clearly how so many fine people have come to find themselves still loving their country but loathing the military.”

Rhodes Scholarship: Fast Way to the Top
Obviously, a lot of people who voted for Clinton thought he was just a good old boy from a backward Southern state who wouldn’t do much harm in the White House and would certainly not promote socialism. But the simple fact is that Clinton had been on the high road to Establishment power since his days at Georgetown where his history professor, Carroll Quigley, wrote the book on how to become one of the Establishment Insiders. Becoming a Rhodes Scholar was the fastest way to the top.
According to Quigley, all of this started in 1870 with the appointment of John Ruskin as professor of fine arts at Oxford. Ruskin spoke to his students as members of the privileged ruling class, in possession of “a magnificent tradition of education, beauty, rule of law, freedom, decency, and self-discipline but that this tradition could not be saved…unless it could be extended to the lower classes in England itself and to the non-English masses throughout the world.”
Ruskin Inspires Cecil Rhodes
One of the undergraduates who was greatly moved and inspired by Ruskin’s philosophy was Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) who later became world famous for exploiting the diamond and gold fields of South Africa. By the 1890s, Rhodes had a personal income of at least a million pounds sterling a year, most of which he spent promoting the idea of creating a federation of English-speaking peoples to bring the world under their benign control. For this purpose Rhodes left part of his great fortune to found the Rhodes Scholarships at Oxford in order to spread the English ruling class tradition throughout the English-speaking world as Ruskin had wanted.
The Idea of a Secret Society
It was a journalist, William T. Stead, who brought Ruskin’s disciples at Oxford into association with Rhodes, which resulted in the formation of a secret society on February 5, 1891, which Rhodes had been dreaming about for sixteen years. Quigley writes in Tragedy and Hope:
In this secret society Rhodes was to be leader; Stead, Brett (Lord Escher), and [Alfred] Milner were to form an executive committee; Arthur (Lord) Balfour, (Sir) Harry Johnston, Lord Rothschild, Albert (Lord) Grey, and others were listed as potential members of a “Circle of Initiates”; while there was to be an outer circle known as the “Association of helpers” (later organized by Milner as the Round Table organization)….Thus the central part of the secret society was established by March 1891.…This group was able to get access to Rhodes’s money after his death in 1902.
The New York Times Reveals All
Rhodes died on March 26, 1902 in South Africa. On April 9, 1902, The New York Times published the following story on its front page:
Mr. Rhodes’s Ideal of Anglo-Saxon Greatness
Statement of His Aims, Written for W. T. Stead in 1890
He Believed a Wealthy Secret Society
Should Work to Secure the World’s Peace
And a British-American Federation
London, April 9.--An article on the Right Hon. Cecil J. Rhodes, by William T. Stead, will appear in the forthcoming number of The American Review of Reviews. The article, excerpts from which follow, consists of a frank, powerful explanation of Mr. Rhodes’s views on America and Great Britain, and for the first time sets forth his own inmost aims….
In its three columns of complex sentences the whole of Mr. Rhodes’s international and individual philosophy is embraced. Perhaps it can best be summarized as an argument in favor of the organization of a secret society, on the lines of the Jesuit order, for the promotion of the peace and welfare of the world, and the establishment of an American-British federation, with absolute home rule for the component parts….
But toward securing this millenium Mr. Rhodes believed the most important factor would be “a secret society, organized like Loyola’s, supported by the accumulated wealth of those whose aspiration is a desire to do something,” and who would be spared the “hideous annoyance” daily created by the thought to which “of their incompetent relations” they should leave their fortunes. These wealthy people, Mr. Rhodes thought, would thus be greatly relieved and be able to turn “their ill-gotten or inherited gains to some advantage.”…
“Fancy,” Mr. Rhodes goes on to say, “the charm to Young America, just coming on, and dissatisfied, for they have filled up their own country and do not know what to tackle next, to share in a scheme to take the government of the whole world.”…
“What scope! What a horizon of work for the next two centuries for the best energies of the best people in the world!”
Enlisting the Wealth of the Rich
Rhodes knew instinctively that only by controlling the wealth of the world could his ambitious scheme become a reality. That meant bringing the rich into the plan to initially finance the scheme, and then gain control of the world’s economy. The great foundations — Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, etc. — have been promoting world government for decades, and many multinational corporations have also become part of the scheme.
The income tax, enacted in 1912, has drained the general population of the cash needed to organize any significant opposition to the New World Order. It was also needed to replace tariffs as the federal government’s chief source of revenue. Rhodes believed in free trade, and that is why the Internationalists have pushed through GATT, NAFTA, and the WTO as necessary steps toward world government.
The Rhodes Scharships
It was in his last will and testament that Rhodes outlined his plan for the Rhodes Scholarships. They have become the main instrument whereby the most promising young people throughout the English-speaking world could be recruited to serve an idea that Rhodes thought would take 200 years to fulfill.
As Carroll Quigley wrote in The Anglo-American Establishment (p.33): “The scholarships were merely a façade to conceal the secret society, or, more accurately they were to be one of the instruments by which the members of the secret society could carry out his purpose.”
Obviously, the way the secret society would recruit its future leaders from among the Rhodes scholars was to dangle before them the prospects of future advancement in whatever field they chose to pursue, be it education, politics, government, foundation work, finance, journalism, etc. The road to fame and fortune was open as long as you played the game and obeyed the rules. In 1994, the Association of American Rhodes Scholars had an alumni membership of about 1,600. Today, it is obviously much larger.
Some Prominent American Rhodies
Here is a short list of American Rhodes scholars who have achieved great success. They include J. William Fulbright (1925) U.S. Senator from Arkansas; Daniel J. Boorstin (1934) Librarian of Congress; Walt W. Rostow (1936) National Security adviser; Byron R. White (1938) Supreme Court Justice; Nicholas Katzenbach (1947) U.S. Attorney General; Stansfield Turner (1947) Director of the CIA; Guido Calabresi (1953) Dean of Yale Law School; Neil Rudenstine (1956) President of Harvard; Jonathan Kozol (1958) left-wing author; Lester Thurow (1960) liberal economist, Dean of Sloan School at MIT; David Souter (1961) U.S. Supreme Court Justice; David Boren (1963) U.S. Senator; Richard Lugar (1954) U.S. Senator; Paul Sarbanes (1954) U.S. Senator; Bill Bradley (1965) U.S. Senator; Robert Reich (1968) Secretary of Labor in the Clinton administration; George Stephanopoulos (1984) Clinton’s White House Spokesman, later ABC News commentator; Thomas F. Birmingham (1972) Massachusetts State Senator, sponsor of an education reform bill.
Professor Quigley’s Prophetic Words
Clinton’s Georgetown professor, Carroll Quigley, died in 1977. His second book, The Anglo-American Establishment, was published posthumously in 1981. In it he wrote:
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 given almost complete control over the publication of documents relating to their actions, 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.
But neither Quigley nor anyone else could have foreseen the development of the Internet and the creation of great new avenues of information that have made it possible for everyone with a computer to search for truth. Just as Rhodesia has become Zimbabwe, so has Rhodes’s secret society been exposed for what it is, a misguided utopian attempt at world government which will fail because it is so contrary to human nature.
Today, the government in Washington is run by a Chicago mob of corrupt leftist politicians who believe in total government, and the Western world is at war with Islamist extremists determined to impose an Islamic Caliphate over the entire world. And the England of Oxford University is slowly surrendering its democratic heritage and traditions to the Moslem immigrants who will not adopt Western Judeo-Christian values. Yet, every year bright students from the Western world will be selected for these prestigious scholarships, so that Cecil Rhodes’s delusional dreams can be perpetuated.
