The Cercle: The Anti-Communist Puppet Masters Behind the Cold War
Le Cercle, a clandestine neoconservative think tank, was founded in 1953 as a secret diplomatic channel between post-World War II French and German politicians. Its primary goal was to combat communism and counter the Anglo-American alliance's influence, leading to its early success in forming the European Economic Community (EEC). The organization expanded its membership to include politicians, intelligence agents and aristocrats from around the world, engaging in controversial activities like creating pro-apartheid propaganda and interfering in global proxy wars.
Le Cercle's influence peaked in the 1970s and 1980s, when its propaganda campaigns, particularly those led by writer Brian Crozier, allegedly helped elect conservative leaders like Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Le Cercle shifted its focus to international terrorism, maintaining its shadowy network and ties to powerful political figures and intelligence agencies.
