All rights strictly reserved. {{Rogue Agents}} }} ==Abstract== The [[Cercle Pinay]] was founded in 1952-53 as a confidential forum of European leaders who sought to promote the vision of a Catholic and conservative Europe and to oppose the threat of Communism. Shrouded in secrecy, the Cercle brought together statesmen such as [[Antoine Pinay]], [[Konrad Adenauer]], [[Franz Josef Strauß]], [[Giulio Andreotti]], [[Otto von Habsburg]], [[Richard Nixon]], [[Henry Kissinger]] and [[David Rockefeller]], as well as top figures from the European and American intelligence services. Following the rise of student counter-culture in the 1960s, the Cercle focused on domestic subversion, using its network of propaganda and intelligence veterans to attack progressive politicians such as [[Harold Wilson]], [[Willy Brandt]], [[Jimmy Carter]] and [[François Mitterrand]], and to promote their favoured candidates: [[Giscard d'Estaing]], [[Margaret Thatcher]], [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Franz Josef Strauß]]. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Cercle also worked to defend apartheid [[South Africa]] and the dictatorships in Spain and Portugal. After the electoral victory of the Right in 1979-1980, the Cercle and the private intelligence agency, [[the 6I]], targeted Western peace campaigners and the new Soviet regime under [[Mikhail Gorbachev]]. Meanwhile, Habsburg played a key part in the fall of the [[Iron Curtain]] and then ensured the integration of [[Eastern Europe]] into the [[European Union]]. ==References== <references/>
