In my thread on Clifford Gaddy, I relied heavily on the excellent book "Operation Chaos" by Matthew Sweet.
After weighing the different possibilities for explaining the mystery of Cliff Gaddy, Sweet leans towards Gaddy as a longtime CIA asset.

But there are other possibilities, including one he didn’t mention.
Let's take a close look.
When discussing the gentrified world Gaddy grew up in, Sweet emphasized the prevailing racism of Ol’ Virginia.

I think one element Sweet misses in discussing the Old South is the extreme Anglophilia, particularly of the upper class to which Gaddy belonged.
Sweet is British himself, therefore maybe he's less inclined to see the connection between the two.

British Freemasonry was a heavy influence of the South that Gaddy was raised in. He belonged to the Order of DeMolay, a youth organization supported by the Freemasons. (Founded in 1919. Some readers may recognize the significance of that date)

Why does this matter?
Well, the LaRouchians, I’m sure, would accuse Sweet of being an agent for the British Empire and therefore covering up Gaddy's Anglo connections.
I don’t know about that...however, the British angle is interesting.

Clinton, who was the same age as Gaddy, entered Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar at around the same as Gaddy went AWOL from the army.
Joining Clinton at Oxford was the future president of the Brookings Institute, Strobe Talbot.

Is it possible Gaddy, Clinton and Talbott were recruited into a supersecret Five Eyes organization as young men?
Don't know, but it would explain a lot, including Gaddy's working relationship with Fiona Hill.
