Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich spoke at Claremont Colleges Wednesday night in Southern California and was questioned about the loss of liberties in America as well as his involvement in Bohemian Grove, Freemasonry, and the Council on Foreign Relations. The 66 year old 'establishment's man' responded by vehmently denying he belonged to such groups, even though he appears in the official "Annals of the Bohemian Club" , andwas featuredin a National Review column about 'the grove' in 1995. The article, written by William F. Buckley, Jr. and coincidentally dated September 11, 1995, was entitled "Newt draws fire- Newt Gingrich and the Bohemian Grove".
Gingrich spoke to a nearly full auditorium in the foothill community of Claremont, CA, which is located about 30 miles east of Los Angeles. He took unscreened questions from the crowd for about twenty minutes after his speech. The questioners, mostly college students, asked about such issues as health care legislation, women's rolein politics, the "tea party" movement, and taxation.Near the end of questioning, ayoung woman asked Newt about a quote attributed to him in which he had stated that he 'is not a citizen of the world'.
He replied emphatically by stating that, althoughhiswords were controversial among some in his office, our rights as Americans come from a Creatorand that "there is no world government". This view, though correct,is odd and seeminglydisingenuous coming from Gingrich, an admitted member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a group whose known goal is the establishment of a world government. In response to another question regarding tea parties, Gingrich said that the victory of Republican Scott Brown for the U.S.Senate seat in Massachusettswas fueled to a large degree by the tea party movement.
At the end of the event afterapproximately one hundred people had lined up for abook signing, Gingrich's previous remarks regarding world government served as a perfect transition for questions about the "new world order". After he signedthe program at my request with the words "To Martin: No World Government -Your Friend, Newt", Itook the rare opportunity to question an off-guard Gingrich, opening with aninitial softball question:
Q. "A lot in the tea party movement have decried the loss of liberties associated with the call for increased security. Do you have any comments on that?
Gingrich: "Uh I think that we should focus our security effort on those who are truly dangerous and not use it to harass innocent Americans".
Q. "You were asked about world government and you said 'there is no world government'. What is your role in groups like the bohemian club, freemasonry, and that sort of thing, Council on Foreign Relations?
