Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr. (March 9, 1923 – February 2, 2010)〔(Canon Funeral Home Waller, Texas )〕 was an American antisemitic populist writer, biographer, and Holocaust denier.〔 * * * * * * * * * * * * 〕 His best-known work is ''The Secrets of The Federal Reserve''. David Randall has called Mullins "one of the world's leading conspiracy theorists." ==Life== Eustace Clarence Mullins, Jr. was born in Roanoke, Virginia, the third child of Eustace Clarence Mullins (1899–1961) and his wife Jane Katherine Muse (1897–1971). His father was a salesman in a retail clothing store. He was educated at Washington and Lee University, New York University, the University of North Dakota and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in Washington, D.C. In December 1942 he enlisted in the military as a Warrant Officer at Charlottesville, Virginia. He was a veteran of the United States Army Air Forces, serving thirty-eight months during World War II. In 1949 Mullins worked at the Institute for Contemporary Arts in Washington, D.C. where he met Ezra Pound's wife Dorothy who introduced him to her husband. Pound was at the time incarcerated in St. Elizabeths Hospital for the Mentally Ill. Mullins frequently visited the poet and for a time acted as secretary to him. Later, he wrote a biography, ''This Difficult Individual Ezra Pound'' (1961), which literary critic Ira Nadel describes as "prejudiced and often melodramatic".〔Nadel, Ira. (2010b). "The Lives of Pound". in Ira Nadel (ed). ''Ezra Pound in Context''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. ISBN 978-0-521-51507-8. pp. 161-162〕 According to Mullins it was Pound who set him on the course of research that led to his writing ''The Secrets of The Federal Reserve''.〔Foreword to ''The Secrets of The Federal Reserve'' by Eustace Mullins, Bridger House Publications, 2009〕 He became a researcher at the Library of Congress in 1950 and worked with Senator Joseph McCarthy investigating Communist Party funding sources. He later stated that he believed McCarthy had "started to turn the tide against world communism".〔(The Capital Times, Madison, WI, May 21, 2001, p. 3A. Full Text Newspapers. Thomson Gale ) (requires Santa Cruz Public Library log-in).〕 Shortly after his first book came out in 1952, he was discharged by the Library of Congress.〔Paul F. Boller, Jr. and John George, ''They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions'', Oxford University Press (1989), p. 15.〕 In 1956 Mullins sued his former employer, the American Petroleum Industries Committee (APIC), for breach of contract. He claimed that he had been hired in 1953 to engage in a ''sub rosa'' project to undermine Zionism. APIC denied Mullins's charge, stating that it was "preposterous and without foundation." In the 1950s, Mullins began his career as an author writing for Conde McGinley’s newspaper ''Common Sense'', which promoted the second edition of his book on the Federal Reserve, entitled ''The Federal Reserve Conspiracy'' (1954). Around this time, he also wrote for Lyrl Clark Van Hyning's Chicago-based newsletter, ''Women's Voice''. He was a member of the National Renaissance Party and wrote for its journal, ''The National Renaissance''.〔 In 1995, he was writing for ''Criminal Politics''.〔"A good example of these other paths is Criminal Politics, where Lawrence Patterson and his cohorts, including Eustace Mullins and Fletcher Prouty, scour the world for evidence of conspiracies within the world's power structure." Danky, Jim, and John Cherney, "An outpouring of right-wing publications cover all social issues", ''St. Louis Journalism Review'', 25.n179 (Sept 1995): 27(1). InfoTrac OneFile. Thomson Gale.〕 Mullins was on the editorial staff of the American Free Press and became a contributing editor to the ''Barnes Review'', both published by Willis Carto's Liberty Lobby. Mullins lived in Staunton, Virginia, in the house at 126 Madison Place where he grew up, from the mid 1970s through the end of his life. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eustace Mullins」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
