[…] were again welcome in Fiji. Later that year he became the first South Pacific head of state to get a full-scale red-carpet welcome at the White House. Reagan praised his “political courage” in allowing nuclear warships into Fiji. Secretary of State Shultz told him: “Your decision to restore access to United States naval vessels […]
[…] was founded by David McMichael as the organ of the Association of National Security Alumni after he had resigned from the CIA over its politicisation under Ronald Reagan. It is worth remembering that the Reagan administration actually tried to persuade its population that the U.S. was threatened – and threatened militarily This is discussed […]
[…] democratic governments’ such as Libya, or Burma for example. (19) In 1986, having launched from a British airfield his bomber raid on Colonel Gadhafi’s family, President Reagan described the Libyan despot as a ‘unique threat to free peoples’, a ‘rogue regime that advances its goals through the murder and maiming of innocent civilians’.

[…] South Africa. The restrained optimism of the essay’s conclusions, written in the first year of the Carter presidency, may sound a little odd after six years of Reagan.

I always thought Mrs Thatcher was a nitwit and the tales of her great intellect were coming from those around her who were unwilling or unable to acknowledge that she was the dummy she appeared to be. (Something similar has happened with Reagan and Bush junior.) RR
[…] the secret societies was visible in any expression of discontent. In 1819 Metternich of Austria proposed an international alliance against secret societies in terms similar to the Reagan administration’s rhetoric against ‘international terror.’ In the aftermath of the revolutions of 1848 Disraeli (in his Life of Lord George Bentick) made it clear that he […]

Many at the time – the height of the renewed Cold War under Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher – thought the editor of The Guardian would resign, a course of action over failure in civic duty his newspaper’s leading articles have […]

It would not be until the advent of the current Pope, John Paul II, and the coming to power of Reagan and Thatcher, that the concerted roll-back of communism was pursued in much the way that the Intermarium exiles, Peron, Skorzeny, Durcansky, Pavelic, Horthy etc. would have […]
