Nixon was Right

“The guys from the best family are most likely to develop that arrogance that puts them above the law,” Nixon said. “They all are that way. All these Harvard people.” 

Later, he added, “Remember that any intellectual is tempted to put himself above the law. That’s the rule that I’ve known all my life. Any intellectual, particularly—watch what schools they’re from. If they’re from any Eastern schools or Berkeley, those are particularly the potential bad ones.”

Ellsberg, Halperin and Gelb were all think tank intellectuals with Ivy League degrees, and Nixon privately referred to them as :

"the three Jews. . . . Basically, who the hell are these people that stole the papers? It’s too bad. I’m sorry. I was hoping one of them would be a gentile.”

Philip Zelikow is the Director of the Miller Center and one of the intellectual godfather's of the NeoConservative Movement.

He was a founding member of the Project for a New American Century and one of the principal authors of the position paper "Rebuilding America's Defenses", contributing the line 

"Further, the process of radical transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalysing event, like a New Pearl Harbor"

He is co-author of Thirteen Days (filmed in 2000 by Parmount Pictures as "Kenny O' Donnell Saves the World and Tells the Useless Kennedy Boys What to Do for 90 Minutes") and took over as the Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, following the replacement of Dr. Henry Kissinger due to massive conflicts of interest. 

His doctoral thesis, based on the theories of Leo Strauss of the Chicago School (aka The Rockefeller Ecconomic Project), was in the importance and use of Public Myth, specifically The Myth of the Nation in ensuring good governance.

He also happens to be Jewish. And German.

And he went to Harvard.

And he is a dual-passport holding Israeli citizen.

In the November–December 1998 issue of Foreign Affairs, Zelikow co-authored an article Catastrophic Terrorism, with Ashton B. Carter, and John M. Deutch (Former Trilateral Commissioner and Former Director of Central Intelligence) , in which they speculated that if the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center had succeeded, 

"the resulting horror and chaos would have exceeded our ability to describe it. 

Such an act of catastrophic terrorism would be a watershed event in American history. It could involve loss of life and property unprecedented in peacetime and undermine America’s fundamental sense of security, as did the Soviet atomic bomb test in 1949. 

Like Pearl Harbor, the event would divide our past and future into a before and after. The United States might respond with draconian measures scaling back civil liberties, allowing wider surveillance of citizens, detention of suspects and use of deadly force. More violence could follow, either future terrorist attacks or U.S. counterattacks. 

Belatedly, Americans would judge their leaders negligent for not addressing terrorism more urgently."
