[A-List] William Engdahl?

[M W <munkle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ïHello Comrades,

Does anyone have any background on William Engdahl? Although much of
his recent output has been of great interest, and can usually be backed
up with other sources, it seems this guy has had (or has?) some rather
dubious associates (Iâm thinking of the Fascist Larouches here). It
looks as though Engdahl has written for the virulently anti-semitic
Executive Intelligence Review as recently as 2001, and has had close
associations with the Schiller Institute, a Larouchian front
organisation. His recent book (A Century of War, Pluto Press, 2004) is
adorned with a glowing recommendation from Dr. Frederick Wills (a
Larouchian until his death in 1993) and contains several dubious
assertions usually associated with rightist conspiracy theories (e.g.
the CIA, though the MK ULTRA programme, *created* the hippie movement).
The problem is that he rarely uses references so even if what he says
is partially (or even largely) accurate, I am sceptical due to the fact
that right-wing conspiracy theorists tend to get their information from
the same stagnant pool.

If anyone is able to shed any more light on this chap, who I donât want
to disregard completely at this stage, please share it with us.

Regards,

M
