The rise of Klaus Schwab and Benazir Bhutto was no accident, nor was their involvement in the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Harvard University became central to CIA-funded leadership programs with various secretive agendas. One was to train future global leaders who could proliferate nuclear weapons surreptitiously on behalf of the American Deep State. This is the story of Harvard’s Young Nuclear Proliferators.
From 1950, with the creation of Kissinger’s International Seminar, Harvard University became a training ground for young global leaders in the political style of Dr Henry A. Kissinger, John Kenneth Galbraith, and William Yandell Elliott. By 1957, Henry Kissinger and his friends at the Council on Foreign Relations had formulated the paradigm of Mutually Assured Destruction, an overarching theory of nuclear conflict that required more than just the US and Russia to be nuclear powers. Among the young trainees were Pierre Trudeau, Klaus Schwab, Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, and even Benazir Bhutto.
After Henry Kissinger’s International Seminar was discovered to be a CIA-funded program in 1967, the Harvard elite took their business of nuclear proliferation into the shadows. Kissinger’s summer school spectacle wasn’t only useful as a recruitment ground for intelligence-linked deep state agencies; it was also a high-level mentorship program. I have covered in detail Klaus Schwab’s involvement not only in this program based at Harvard, but also through the US nuclear research centre at UC Berkley.
Klaus Schwab’s father, Eugen Schwab, had been central to Hitler’s Nazi atomic bomb program, and nepotism appeared to be a vital component when the Harvard elite were choosing their leadership candidates. In the 1970s, shortly after Klaus Schwab had returned from Harvard to work for his father’s former Model Nazi Company, a young lady of great importance, Benazir Bhutto, became another of Harvard’s Young Nuclear Proliferators.
Henry Kissinger’s International Seminar was based at Harvard for a very good reason. Many of the world’s ruling dynasties were already attracted to the allure of this prestigious and historically important American educational establishment.
In the article Schwab & Thiel: Nuclear Apartheid, I revealed that Klaus Schwab had been supplied a German Rotary Foundation Fellowship specifically so he could attend Kissinger’s International Seminar. This sort of funding stream was a normal occurrence for those who had been tagged as potential future leaders. In fact, those who took part in Kissinger’s International Seminar did so mostly by invitation only. The Harvard Nuclear Proliferates were chosen because of their familial connections. Each had various connections to leaders trained at Harvard and to the race by various nation-states to gain nuclear technology.
This is the story of how one very famous Harvard graduate, in particular, was recruited, trained, and mentored to leak nuclear weapons technology to those who were publicly perceived as enemies of America. This is the story of Benazir Bhutto, one of Harvard’s Nuclear Proliferators.
Benazir Bhutto’s Nuclear Mentors
As I detailed during a previous article in this series, Schwab Family Values, Klaus Schwab’s father, Eugen Schwab, had been involved in the Nazi atomic bomb project while managing the Escher Wyss factory in Ravensburg, Germany. In 1964, Eugen Schwab advised Klaus to go to Harvard. When Klaus returned from Kissinger’s International Seminar in 1967, he was selected to help guide his father’s old company through a tricky merger. While Klaus Schwab was sitting at the top table of the newly merged Sulzer Escher Wyss, the former-Nazi Model Company aided the racist South African Apartheid regime’s nuclear weapons program, even though their actions contravened international law.
Klaus had gone to Kissinger’s International Seminar and returned to Europe under the mentorship of two men in particular. One being the father of nuclear modelling, the so-called “Real Dr Strangelove,” Dr Herman Kahn, but also the famed American economist, political advisor, and CFR member, John Kenneth Galbraith.
John Kenneth Galbraith was centrally involved in the organisation of nuclear proliferation, specifically regarding the future installation of Harvard-trained, American-leaning international leaders. He wasn’t solely responsible for organising Klaus Schwab’s mentorship. Another future leader who attended Harvard and was also later accused of leaking nuclear secrets to various outcast regimes came under Galbraith’s proverbial wing.
Throughout the period in which Galbraith was helping the young Klaus Schwab persuade European leaders to join the newly formed European Management Symposium—which eventually became the WEF—another future leader attending Harvard was also about to have a Galbraith guardian assigned to them. In 1969, Benazir Bhutto began studying for her undergraduate degree at Radcliffe College, Harvard University, at just sixteen.
Her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, had formed the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in 1967 and was beginning to mount a significant challenge for power in Pakistan. Zulfikar had pulled strings to secure his daughter early admission to Harvard by asking his friend, John Kenneth Galbraith, the former US ambassador to India, to serve as her “local guardian.” Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s daughter was soon assigned John Kenneth Galbraith’s son, Peter Galbraith, to look after her while she was attending Harvard. During her time at the university, Bhutto became involved in campaigns against American involvement in the Vietnam War, headed by JK Galbraith himself, and eventually went on to major in Comparative Government, graduating in 1973.
Two years prior, in December 1971, her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, became the 4th President of Pakistan, and only a few weeks later, he met secretly with Pakistan’s most prominent nuclear scientists. He explained to the attendees of this covert meeting that he believed nuclear bomb technology was going to be achieved in Pakistan, and that if they failed in this mission, the country would be in mortal danger. At this secret meeting in Multan on 24 January 1972, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto initiated the program which eventually led to Pakistan developing nuclear weapons.
What many people don’t know about Pakistani history is that, before the PPP had even been imagined, Harvard was also targeting the country to recruit and train its potential future leaders via Kissinger’s International Seminar.
For instance, starting on 15 January 1957, the Government of Pakistan’s Ministry of Education were advertising in papers such as the Civil & Military Gazette based out of Lahore for potential applicants for Harvard University Summer School’s International Seminar, describing the program as:
“Providing opportunity for promising individuals to discuss the nature of present-day problems with contemporaries in European and Asian countries and in the United States.”
To entice the potential applicants to the International Seminar, the advert went on to state:
“The organisers of the Seminar will assume all the expenses of the participants, including return transportation from their homes, board, room, tuition, and an adequate weekly allowance for personal expenses.”
This was an opportunity of a lifetime for a talented applicant with the requisite “outstanding academic qualifications”.
New Nuclear Neighbours
By May 1974, India publicly beat Pakistan to the nuclear punch when it exploded a nuclear device in tests which were officially named Pokhran I, and are often referred to as the “Smiling Buddha” tests. After the Indian army’s nuclear test, Kissinger stated:
“The Indian nuclear explosion raises anew the spectre of an era of plentiful nuclear weapons in which any local conflict risks exploding into a nuclear holocaust.”
Although the Indian nuclear test was a public display of strength pointed directly at Pakistan, it was another decade before India could amass a threatening nuclear arsenal. The same year as India’s explosion of Pokhran I, both Kissinger and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto made joint statements, reported in the New York Times on 1 November 1974, saying the two men: “…agreed that renewed efforts should be made to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.”
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto unsuccessfully lobbied the United States for economic sanctions to be imposed on India after its nuclear test, but Kissinger told the Indian Ambassador that “Pakistan would have to learn to live with it.”
However, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was still pushing for Pakistan to go nuclear, and in 1976, when it was clear that Pakistan was continuing to research nuclear weapons, Kissinger made a further threat directed at Bhutto and Pakistan. Kissinger famously told Bhutto:
“If you do not cancel, modify or postpone the Reprocessing Plant Agreement, we will make a horrible example from you”.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto later stated:
“For my country’s sake, for the sake of people of Pakistan, I did not succumb to that black-mailing and threats.”
The public spat with Kissinger saw Zulfikar Ali Bhutto form new alliances, which coincided with the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), a group of 120 member states that were not formally aligned with any major global power bloc. The NAM was established by leaders such as Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser, installed by the newly formed CIA in 1952, and the Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, who also joined the NAM. It was clear that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was attempting to expand Pakistani influence, which would involve relations with both the Soviet Union and the United States.
Jimmy Carter won the US presidential election of 1976, and, as Nixon and Kissinger’s teams left the White House, it appeared that Zulfikar Ali Bhutto no longer had any political sway in Washington DC. By July 1977, the then-Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was deposed in a military coup led by General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq and, by October that year, Bhutto was charged with an assassination plot to murder one of his political opponents.
He was officially charged with conspiracy to murder Ahmed Raza Kasuri, who was a founder-member of Bhutto’s own Pakistan People’s Party, relating to an incident in November 1974, when Mr Kasuri’s car was caught in a hail of sub-machine gun fire. Kasuri survived the attack, but his father, who had been travelling in the car alongside him, was killed. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto never returned to power and was hanged by the neck until dead on 4 April 1979.
The Young Bhutto – Nuclear Proliferator
The Bhutto family political dynasty did not die with the hanging of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. In fact, Benazir Bhutto, the woman whose father had once entrusted to the care of John Kenneth Galbraith at Harvard, eventually became the 11th and 13th Prime Minister of Pakistan. What is very notable about her time in office in relation to nuclear proliferation is that Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is often referred to as “the father of Pakistan’s nuclear program”, claims that Benazir Bhutto ordered him to leak secrets concerning nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea. Khan had stated in 2004, only a few years before the eventual assassination of Benazir Bhutto, that he had acted alone, but then publicly changed his story in 2012, stating: “The then-prime minister Benazir Bhutto summoned me and named two countries which were to be assisted.”
Before Benazir Bhutto’s eventual assassination, she also became part of a cabal of ex-Harvard alumni who were deeply involved in the affairs of nations other than Pakistan. In 1987, Benazir Bhutto’s activities were reported in a Harvard Crimson article entitled: “Harvard ‘Mafia’ Advises Aquino Government,” and noted the members of this “Harvard Mafia” who were assisting the government of the Philippines, stating:
“Edward P. Seaga ‘52, prime minister of Jamaica and Benazir Bhutto ‘73, a top opposition leader in Pakistan, are graduates of the College. And Mexico’s President Miguel de la Madrid-Hurtado and Greece’s Prime Minister Andreas G. Papandreou earned masters at Harvard.”
The article also going on to note:
“Harvard can claim an influential role in a number of countries, either through its graduates or its faculty.”
By the time Benazir Bhutto attended Harvard, Kissinger’s International Seminar had been quietly discontinued. Kissinger’s cover had been blown when articles in Ramparts magazine and the New York Times, along with Harvard’s own Humphrey Doermann’s 1967 report, exposed the leadership course’s secret CIA funding. By this time, Kissinger was also significantly preoccupied with his role in the Nixon administration, and soon Harvard’s recruitment of American-aligned world leaders would become part of the university’s hidden history.
The same people who had previously helped mentor the likes of Klaus Schwab and Pierre Trudeau continued to actively groom potential future leaders at Harvard. John Kenneth Galbraith guided Klaus Schwab towards becoming a vital and influential globalist leader. Soon after that mentorship began, Schwab became involved in the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to South Africa via Sulzer Escher Wyss. Galbraith then went on to be tasked with guiding a young future leader of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, who was also later accused of purposely leaking nuclear information to countries opposed to US domination.
It appears as though the clandestine proliferation of nuclear weapons technology was one of the key tasks assigned to John Kenneth Galbraith. At the same time, he was tasked with organising the mentorship of potential young global leadership candidates through a range of CIA-funded programs run out of Harvard.
Benazir Bhutto, the first woman to lead a Muslim country, was assassinated on 27 December 2007 by a 15-year-old boy, supposedly at the behest of the Pakistan Taliban and al-Qaeda. She was attempting to become Pakistan’s Prime Minister for a third time. Former Pakistani PM General Pervez Musharraf was charged with murder for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and Nawab Akbar Bugti. Musharraf was also later charged with criminal conspiracy for murder and facilitation, which stopped him from participating in Pakistan’s 2013 general election.
Nawaz Sharif was re-elected that year and initiated high treason charges against Musharraf for implementing emergency rule and suspending the constitution in 2007. In 2017, Musharraf was officially declared an “absconder” in the Bhutto assassination case after he moved to Dubai. In 2019, he was sentenced to death for the treason charges, a sentence which was later annulled by the Lahore High Court. However, Musharraf died in absentia in 2023.
The aforementioned Abdul Qadeer Khan, who Benazir Bhutto claimed was a scapegoat for the nuclear proliferation scandal, also accused Musharraf of involvement. He even went so far as to claim that Musharraf had been the “Big Boss” in the operation to proliferate nuclear weapons technology to unstable nation-states. An Associated Press report printed in the New York Times on 5 July 2008 stated:
“Dr. Khan said that the army had “complete knowledge” of the shipment of used P-1 centrifuges to North Korea. “It must have gone with his consent,” he said, referring to Pervez Musharraf, who was the army chief and in control of the government at the time of the shipment.”
Ultimately, Abdul Qadeer Khan laid the responsibility for Pakistan’s nuclear proliferation firmly at the feet of both Musharraf and Bhutto.
Regardless of which Pakistani leader was ultimately responsible for the proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to the enemies of the West, it could not have happened without all of their involvement. The Americans used the Pakistani’s fear of falling behind their Indian rivals in relation to nuclear weapons technology to control their actions. During the early 1970s, the race to thermonuclear weapons seemed to be of immediate concern to both Pakistan and India. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto believed that the survival of Pakistan depended on its beating its neighbours to the creation of tactical nukes. However, India didn’t successfully create a tactical warhead until at least the late 1990s, and neither country has escalated to a nuclear stand-off.
Kissinger et al had mapped out nuclear warfare in such detail by the early-1960s that the actions of nation states racing towards nuclear weapons were almost totally predictable. In fact, it benefited the US to proliferate nuclear technology to these countries, because this predictable behaviour put the American deep state in control. If you know how two enemies in an opposing binary dialectic will act towards each other once they reach a certain level of weapons technology, then supplying them with that technology becomes a route to control.
This is what the American Deep State has done for decades: they create the weapons, they study how they are used, and then they supply the enemies of the US to use against each other. It is just another form of divide-and-conquer.
The paradigm in which we exist today is not an accident. We live in a world modelled by the grandfathers of nuclear theory, such as Kissinger, Galbraith, and Herman Kahn. We are brought to the edge of apocalypse by their carefully selected young nuclear proliferates such as Bhutto and Schwab, and the Harvard Establishment is never held to account for bringing our world to the edge of darkness.
