Gary Allen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gary Allen (1936-1986) was an American conservative journalist.

As a student, he was majoring in history at Stanford University[1] and studied at California State University, Long Beach.[2] Gary Allen was a prominent member of the John Birch Society, of which he was a spokesman. He contributed to magazines such as Conservative Digest[3] or American Opinion since 1964.[4] He also was the speech writer for George Wallace during the Alabama Governor Presidential campaigns and was advisor to the conservative Texas millionaire Nelson Bunker Hunt.[3]

In 1972, Gary Allen wrote with Larry Abraham a famous book None dare call it conspiracy (prefaced by John G. Schmitz), which was a best seller (is said to have sold over five million copies world-wide[5]) during the United States presidential election. An investigator of US financial, industrial, and political elites, he wrote other books about the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission, claiming that that the New World Order was a term used by a secretive elite dedicated to the destruction of all national sovereignties.[6]

He died in 1986, at the age of 50, while publishing Say "No!" to the new world order.
