the resulting organism a kind of policy forum aiming at an international consensus among
financier factions, under overall Anglo-American domination. The Trilateral Commission
emerged at the same time that the Rockefeller-Kissinger interests perpetrated the first oil
hoax. Some of its first studies were devoted to the mechanics of imposing authoritariantotalitarian
forms of government in the US, Europe, and Japan to manage the austerity
and economic decay that would be the results of Trilateral policies. The Carter
Administration was very overtly a Trilateral Administration. Popular hatred of Carter and
his crew made the Trilterals an attractive target. Reagan promised that he would change
all that, but his government was also dominated by the Trilateraloids.
Bush was also a member of the Alibi Club, a society of Washington insiders who gather
periodically to assert the primacy of oligarchism over such partisan or other divisions that
have been concocted to divert the masses. Bush had also joined another Washington
association, the Alfalfa Club, with much the same ethos and a slightly differrent cast of
characters. Bush was clearly a joiner. Later, in 1990, he would accept a bid to join
Britain's Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrew's in Scotland as the ninth honorary
member in the history of that august body. This was also a tribute to George Herbert
Walker, a past president of the US Golf Association, and to Prescott Bush, who was also
president of the USGA.
As we saw briefly during Bush's senate campaign, the combination of bankruptcy and
arrogance which was the hallmark of Eastern Liberal Establishment rule over the United
States generated resentments which could make membership in such organizations a
distinct political liability.
One who was caught up in the turbulence was William Loeb, the opinionated
curmudgeon of Pride's Crossing, Massachusetts who was the publisher of the Manchester
Union-Leader, the most important newspaper in the state. Loeb had supported Reagan in
1976 and was for him again in 1980. Loeb might have dispersed his fire against all of
Reagan's Republican rivals, including Howard Baker, Robert Dole, Phil Crane, John
Anderson, John Connally, and Bush. Loeb would launch a barrage of slashing attacks on
Bush. The other GOP contenders would be virtually ignored by Loeb.
Loeb had assailed Ford as "Jerry the Jerk" in 1976; his attacks on Sen. Muskie reduced
the latter to tears during the 1972 primary. Loeb began to play up the theme of Bush as a
liberal, as a candidate controlled by the "internationalist" (or Kissinger) wing of the GOP
and the Wall Strreet bankers, always soft on communism and always ready to undermine
liberty through Big Government here at home. A February editorial by Loeb reacted to
Bush's Iowa success with these warnings of vote fraud:
The Bush operation in Iowa had all the smell of a CIA covert operation....Strange aspects of the
Iowa operation [included] a long, slow count and then the computers broke down at a very
convenient point, with Bush having a six per cent bulge over Reagan...Will the elite nominate their
man, or will we nominate Reagan? [fn 19]
For Loeb the most damning evidence was Bush's membership in the Trilateral
Commission, the creature of David Rockefeller and the internmational bankers. Carter
