Will Great Britain’s pedophile scandal
Bring down Lord Carrington?
by Scott Thompson
While former British Foreign Secretary Lord Carrington is
expected to be appointed NATO Secretary General at the
alliance’s foreign ministers meeting on Dec. 8, the Carrington
appointment is ill-timed, to say the least. Alarm bells
have gone off around the current investigation by the British
Home Secretary of a pedophile (child-sex) ring involving
Carrington’s clos·e associates, the former Home Secretary
William Whitelaw, and as yet unnamed members of the Foreign
Office. The spokesman noted that since Edward VIII’s
itbditation, the Profumo scandal, and the recent resignation
of Trade and Industry Minister Cecil Parkinson, many political
disagreements within Great Britain have been settled by
airing sex scandals of the sort now being directed at Lord
Peter Carrington.
Well-informed sources in London report that the palace
pedophilia scandal grew out of two cases: The first was investigation
of a l6-year-old boy who had been seduced and
sodomized during Carrington’s tenure at the Foreign Office.
The second involves the case of Home Office employee Steven
Adrian, the director of an organization called PIE (Pe-
. dophilia Information Exchange). According to the North
American ManBoy Lovers Association (NAMBLA), a U.S.
pedophile lobbying group, NAMBLA’s British affiliate was
run by Adrian from his office in the British Home Ministry,
untilhe-was fired.
The pedophilia scandal came to public light on Nov. 24
when Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens presented to Home Secretary
John Brittan a dossier containing evid.ence of a “pedophile
ring,” which he says has been operating for some time
out of Buckingham Palace and the Foreign Office. Dickens’s
1\. ‘.. revelations followed a strong attack from Chief Justice Lord
Lane on Great Britain’s “immoral society:; in a speech at
Cambridge University on Nov. 9. “
Lord Lane called for a public outcry against a new mo-
. . rality that lets “buggers” be called “gays” and allows children
to be exposed to heavy doses of pornographic sex and violence
in “video nasties.” Lord Lane’s speech appears to be
the first salvo in an attempt by a Tory faction which has long
opposed Lord Carrington’s detente policy with the Soviet
EIR December 13, 1983
Union, to initiate a public cleanup campaign against homosexuality,
pedophilia, and the video nasties to whic hundreds
of thousands of youth between 6 and 16 have been exposed.
On the same day that the palace peQophilia scandal broke, an
All-Party Parliamentary inquiry led by Lord Nugent released
its first report on video nasties. The former Archbishop of
Canterbury, Lord Coggan, joined Lord Lane in the
crackdown.
Well-informed observers believe that this effort may have
been started to clean up the rampant homosexuality and child
pornography tolerated until now by Britain’s elite, because
of the mounting war danger: a danger Carrington and his
Foreign Office friends vehemently deny.
Dope, Inc.
The implication of Lord Carrington’s friends at the Foreign
Office in a pedophilia ring is not the only scandal hanging
over Carrington. The pedophilia question opens a Pandora’s
box of international rings that specialize in child sexual
exploitation, but are also involved in the illegal drug traffic
that operates above the level of nations-Dope, Inc. Carrington’s
ties to the top levels of the dope trade are an open secret.
In his Nov. 9 speech at Cambridge, the Chief Just.ice
Lord Lane cited the fact that 84 percent of all the heroin now
seized en route to Great Britain originates with Afghani rebels
operating from Pakistan and the Indian subcontinent. This
stream of heroin from the “Golden Crescent” is believed by
security experts to reveal the footprints of a drugs-for-guns
trafficking operation set up by Lord Carrington. In 1981 when·
he was British Foreign Secretary, Lord Carrington had sought·
to oust U.S. intelligence control over the Afghani rebel
movement, to gain a bargaining chip with the Soviets.
The massive drug-running of the Carrington-backed Afghani
exiles based in the Peshwahr and Baluchistan regions
of Pakistan also involves opium production in Soviet-held
sections of Afghanistan. Such arrangements are not new to
Lord Carrington. Before becoming Foreign Secretary he sat
at the center of British involvement in Dope, Inc., the $500
billion international illegal narcotics cartel. In 1967 Lord
International 41
Lord Peter Carrington
Carrington joined the board of Barclay’s
Bank, exposed in the 1978 book
Dope, Inc. as the premier British bank
involved in multi-billion dollar offshore
laundering of dirty money from drug
trafficking and other organized crime
activities. Barclay’s is part of a nexus
that includes the Oppenheimer family
interests which cartelized international
gold and diamond markets, the main
commodities used in illegal drug and
gun deals. The Oppenheimer interests,
including Anglo-American Gold Company
and De Beers, have made similar
cartel arrangements for Soviet production
of these commodities.
At the time he joined Barclay’s, Lord
Carrington was on the board of Hambros
Bank, which was involved in joint
ventures with the former Vatican banker
Michele Sindona, now imprisoned in
the United States. His position with
Hambros brought Lord Carrington into
the circles of the Propaganda-2 masonic
lodge of Italy, pinpointed by Italian
magistrates as responsible for every
major coup attempt, assassination, and
terrorist act since the late-1960s’ NATOlinked
“strategy of tension” in Italy.
Implicated in the “strategy of tension”
from the U. S. end was former
U. S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger,
a business partner in Carrington’s
firm Kissinger Associates, Inc. Kissinger
has been named in Italian court testimony
as a member of the Monte Carlo
Lodge set up by P-2 Grand Master, financier
Licio Gelli, and as having threatened
Italian Christian Democratic Party
president Aldo Moro before his murder
by P-2-linked terrorists.

Although Lord Lane only touched
superficially on certain leads in his
mention of Golden Crescent heroin production
in Pakistan, it is notable that
one of the main transshipment routes
for this production has more recently
been identified as the Bulgarian Connection.
Italian magistrates investigating
the kidnapping of NATO Gen. James
Dozier turned up links between the Red
Brigades and the secret services of Bulgaria,
fronting for the Soviet KGB. Later,
Italian magistrates uncovered the
biggest arms-for-drugs nexus ever, protected
by P-2 connected banks in Milan,
and following the same Gold Crescent
gun- and drug-running circuits in which
Mehmet Ali Agca was safehoused before
his attempt to kill Pope John Paul
II.
At the same time Carrington was
starting his Afghan operation, U.S. intelligence
reported that the British foreign
minister entered into collaboration
with the Soviet Union in a scheme to
assassinate Egyptian President Anwar
Sadat, who during his last months of
life embarked on a campaign to clean
up Dope, Inc.’s arms-for-drugs trafficking
in Egypt. Mutual business interests
with Moscow’s KGB may explain
why Lord Carrington’s circles are reported
to have again offered to partition
Iran with the Soviet Union. It would
also help explain why, according to
British sources, it is Lord Carrington’s
circles who have advised Britain to
withdraw from the international peacekeeping
force, at a time when Sovietbacked
Syria has consolidated control
over the greater part of Lebanon, including,
of course, the hashish and opium-
producing Bekaa valley.
Carrington at NATO would not only
be a strategic disaster, but a walking
time-bomb ready to explode into a bigger
scandal than the Profumo affair. Security
experts have long warned that the
sexually deviant behavior of Lord Carrington’s
associates, recorded by multiple
intelligence agencies, including his
would-be negotiating partners in the
KGB, represents a massive security risk.
Now, it appears that some members of
Great Britain’s establishment second
