Colonel Fletcher Prouty: There is an international power elite that runs the world
By Rhoda Wilson on May 13, 2025
There is, and has been throughout history, an elite that runs countries and the world, Col. Fletcher Prouty said in a 1992 interview. Recognising the existence of this international power elite is essential to understanding the current situation.
On 11 November 1992, Jeff Steinberg, the counter-intelligence editor for Lyndon LaRouche’s Executive Intelligence Review (“EIR”), interviewed Colonel Fletcher Prouty (Ret.). The interview covered a wide range of topics related to the Cold War, including the Cairo Conference, the preparation for the Cold War in the waning years of World War II, the conditions leading to the Vietnam conflict, the Bay of Pigs, the chaotic situation in South Vietnam, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and President Johnson’s deathbed confession.
L. Fletcher Prouty, also known as Colonel Fletcher Prouty, was a retired colonel in the United States Air Force who served as Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President John F. Kennedy and was the real-life character upon which the figure of “Mr. X” in the 1991 Oliver Stone movie ‘JFK’ was based. He was a distinguished career military officer, historian, author and expert on the international railroad industry. His books include ‘The Secret Team’ (1973) and ‘JFK, the CIA, and the Plot’(1992). Col. Prouty died in 2001.
Republishing the 1992 interview with Col. Prouty in 2013, LaRouche commented: “This 1992 interview has excellent insights into the ongoing fight against oligarchy that we are involved in. Colonel Prouty gives us a look at the inner workings of the US intelligence community from the inside. If you don’t have time to read his book, ‘The Secret Team: The CIA And Its Allies In Control Of The World’, watch this video. His description of the period after WWII leading into the Vietnam War is critical for Americans to understand.”
In his book ‘The Secret Team’ Col. Prouty referred to the “international power elite,” a group of powerful figures who have controlled history from behind the scenes using propaganda schemes to shape the world and influence decision-making.
