John Train and the Bankers’ Secret Government  

by Jeffrey Steinberg

Investment banker and self-styled Anglophile literati “spook” John Train summoned a “salon” of government agents, journalists, and right-wing money-bags, exactly one month after President Reagan’s announcement of the Strategic Defense Initiative in 1983. The purpose of the session, and two subsequent gatherings, was to execute a black propaganda “hit” campaign against Lyndon LaRouche. This “bankers’ secret government” has not gone away—far from it.
