Note: In the half-year since The Wanderer (September 30, 1999) publicized journalist Anne Williamson's testimony to the House Banking Committee on how the Clinton regime and its friends in the banking community plundered the Russian economy and looted billions of taxpayers' dollars funneled through the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other major U.S. banks, and the Harvard Institute for International Development, and mentioned her forthcoming book, Contagion: The Betrayal of Liberty -- Russia and the United States in the 1990s, many Wanderer readers have been wondering when, if ever, the book would appear.
Last week, Miss Williamson provided this reporter with a copy of the now-completed and edited manuscript, along with an interview in which the distinguished reporter recounts the enormous controversy -- and fear, in some circles -- surrounding the manuscript, which, if not published soon, will be self-published and posted on the Internet.
In an ordinary election year, Anne Williamson's Contagion would be political dynamite, a bombshell, a block-buster, a regime breaker.
If America were a free and democratic country, with a free press and independent publishing houses (and assuming, of course, that Americans were a literate people), Williamson's book would topple the Clinton regime, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the rest of the criminal cabal that inhabits the world of modern corporate statism faster than you could say "Jonathan Hay."
Hay, for those who need an introduction to the international financial buccaneers who control our lives, was the general director of the Harvard Institute of International Development (HIID) in Moscow (1992-1997), who facilitated the crippling of the Russian economy and the plundering of its industrial and manufacturing infrastructure with a strategy concocted by Larry Summers, Andre Schliefer (HIID's Cambridge-based manager), Jeffrey Sachs and his Swedish sidekick Anders Aslund, and a host of private players from banks and investment houses in Boston and New York -- a plan approved and assisted by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Contagion can be read on many different levels.
