The Georgetown Set, or Wisner's Gang, was a US deep state faction which played a part in the development of the US deep state, principally by creating the OPC and CIA.
Membership
The group has a considerable overlap with Skull and Bones. It lead to the creation of the OPC, which J. Edgar Hoover described as "Wisner's gang of weirdos".[1]
Approach
Frances Stonor Saunders, author of Who Paid the Piper: The CIA and the Cultural Cold War? (1999) observed that:
“In long exchanges, heated by intellectual passion and alcohol, their vision of a new world order began to take shape. Internationalist, abrasive, competitive, these men had an unshakeable belief in their value system, and in their duty to offer it to others. They were the patricians of the modern age, the paladins of democracy, and saw no contradiction in that. This was the elite which ran American foreign policy and shaped legislation at home. Through think-tanks to foundations, directorates to membership of gentlemen's clubs, these mandarins were interlocked by their institutional affiliations and by a shared belief in their own superiority.”
Frances Stonor Saunders [2]
Fall
Cord Meyer's wife, Mary Pinchot Meyer, was shot dead in 1964. On 29 October 1965 Frank Wisner was shot dead. Desmond FitzGerald.
