Reagan may once again be bypassed for the historic role...a general feeling that he may<br />

be a man whose cause may triumph, but whose own time may never come." [fn 17]<br />

NBC's Brokaw started calling Reagan the "former front-runner." Tom Petit of the same<br />

network was more direct: "I would like to suggest that Ronald Reagan is politically<br />

dead." Once again the choice of pictures made <strong>Bush</strong> look good, Reagan bad.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Eastern Liberal establishment had left no doubt who its darling was: <strong>Bush</strong>, and not<br />

Reagan. In their arrogance, the Olympians had once again committed the error of<br />

confusing their collective patrician whim with real processes ongoing in the real world.<br />

<strong>The</strong> New Hampshire primary was to prove a devastating setback for <strong>Bush</strong>, in spite of all<br />

the hype the <strong>Bush</strong>man networks were able to crank out. How did it happen?<br />

<strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong> was of course a life-long member of the Skull and Bones secret society of<br />

Yale University, through which he advanced towards the freemasonic upper reaches of<br />

the Anglo-American establishment, towards those exalted circles of London, New York,<br />

and Washington in which the transatlantic destiny of the self-styled Anglo-Saxon master<br />

race is elaborated. <strong>The</strong> entrees provided by Skull and Bones membership would always<br />

be, for <strong>Bush</strong>, the most vital ones. But, in addition to such exalted feudal brotherhoods as<br />

Skull and Bones, the Anglo-American Establishment also maintains a series of broaderbased<br />

elite organizations whose function is to manifest the hegemonic Anglo-American<br />

policy line to the broader layers of the establishment, including bureaucrats, businessmen,<br />

bankers, journalists, professors, and other such assorted retainers and stewards of power.<br />

<strong>George</strong> <strong>Bush</strong> had thus found it politic over the years to become a member of the New<br />

York Council on Foreign Relations. By 1979, <strong>Bush</strong> was a member of the board of the<br />

CFR, where he sat next to his old patron Henry Kissinger. <strong>The</strong> President of the CFR<br />

during this period was Kissinger clone Winston Lord of the traditional Skull and Bones<br />

family.<br />

<strong>George</strong> was also a member of the Bohemian Club of San Francisco, which had been<br />

founded by Ambrose Bierce after the Civil War to cater to the Stanfords, Huntingtons,<br />

Crockers, Hopkins, and the other nouveau-riche tycoons that had emerged from the gold<br />

rush. <strong>The</strong> Bohemian Club made a summer outing every year to its camp at Bohemian<br />

Grove, a secluded, 2,700 acre stand of majestic redwoods about 75 miles from San<br />

Francisco. A sign over the gate advises: "Spiders Weave Not Here." Up to 1,600<br />

members, with the occasional foreign guest like German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt,<br />

gather in mid-summer for freemasonic ceremonies featuring the ritual interrment of "dull<br />

care", cavort in women's panty hose in femme impersonatuer theatricals, or better yet<br />

frolic in the nude near the banks of the Russian River. Herbert Hoover was a devoted<br />

regular, Eisenhower and Allen Dulles made cold war speeches there; Nixon and Reagan<br />

had discussed prospects for the 1968 election; Bechtel was always big; and Henry<br />

Kissinger loved to pontificate, all at the Grove.<br />

<strong>The</strong>n there was the Trilateral Commission, founded by David Rockefeller in 1973-74.<br />
