    Starting to read and study Carroll Quigley’s book “Evolution of Civilization” based on his course, “The Development of Civilization” that he taught at Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service. Hope it’s more interesting than my college course “Western World History” for which the best I could do was a D grade. Horrible class and lecturer.

      Quigley can be a tall drink of water but rewarding. Definitely better than the typical “Western Civ” college courses of yesteryear (and lightyears ahead of whatever they teach in quackademia today, I’m sure).

        … you’ll enjoy reading Quigley. For what it’s worth Billy Clinton was a student of Quigley’s at Georgetown. You might enjoy his Weapons Systems and Political Stability: A History (PDF). Washington, DC: University Press of America. 1983. pp. 1064 pages. ISBN 978-0-8191-2947-5. The PDF is gratis.

            Thanks will check it out.
            Yes I have seen videos of Clinton singing praises of Quigley while at Georgetown, which I interpreted as a sign to others of his “on boarding” to the NWO. Quigley’s “Tragedy and Hope” appears on the bookshelves of several podcasters. I guess as a sign of doing their research homework. My copy is in circulation somewhere.
            It’s interesting he majored in biochemistry but switched to history after he received only a C in a course labeled “Europe Since the Fall of Rome”, then proceeded to graduate magna cum laude as the top history student in his class. Bit of an over achiever or else found his calling I’d say. Nevertheless his application and use of the scientific method in a not exact science like history and challenging the traditional story telling makes sense to me.
