Several years ago now, way back in those ancient days in the 1950s, there was some concern among informed people as to what some of the tax-free foundations were promoting with their contributions to certain people and groups. Sometime in the 1970s, if I recall, the John Birch Society published a little booklet called Foundations and Tax-Free Cash. It went into some detail about what some of the major foundations were doing with all that tax-free cash to help in the dismantling of the country.
Back in 1953, a man named Norman Dodd was appointed as Chief Investigator for the Reese Committee in Congress that was investigating tax-free foundations and what they did with their money. Mr. Dodd had some good background, having been an officer in a bank in New York City, as well as a private investment counselor.
In an article in The Freemen Digest for June, 1978, Mr. Dodd noted several interesting events. He wrote: "My assistant and I, therefore, assumed that since the Congress was interested in knowing what effect the foundations had exerted on the country, we would work primarily with those foundations which had been in existence the longest. It turned out that we then had to investigate 12. It also turned out that these 12 foundations represented 80 percent of the capital endowments processed by the foundations as a whole." Mr. Dodd then went on to relate an interesting experience he had with H. Rowan Gaither, then president of the Ford Foundation. It seems that Gaither invited Dodd to come and talk to him "off the record" as to what the Ford Foundation was doing and why. Gaither told Dodd that: "...we operate here under directives...which emanate from the White House. Would you like to know what the substance of their directives is?" Dodd answered that he would very much enjoy knowing. After all, that's what he was there for.
Gaither then told him: "The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we shall use our grant-making power to alter life in the United States so that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union." Dodd's comment to that little tidbit was "I nearly fell off my chair." Dodd then went on to note that the Ford Foundation was free to use its grant-making power for such purposes, but that he felt the American people should be made aware of all this. Gaither's answer was "Mr. Dodd, we would not think of doing that."
James Townsend, editor of the National Educator newspaper, back in 1977, wrote an article in which he commented on what Gaither had told Dodd. He observed: "Why would a person as important as Rowan Gaither tell Norman Dodd his foundation was working to alter life in the U.S. if it were not true? Why would the minute books of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace refer to altering lifestyles and involving the U.S. in war unless that were their intention? To amazed citizens who have been astounded at what they see happening in public education, there can be no doubt a centralized force has been directing one change after another. History has all but disappeared and in its place we now have social studies. How come?" Good question. How about this? Mr. Townsend noted that: "Realizing the control of education was a rather large order, Carnegie trustees solicited the assistance of the Rockefeller Foundation in that task, and the divided the task into two parts: the Rockefeller Foundation was asked to take on the subject of education as it relates to domestic matters and the Carnegie Foundation retains that part of education that relates to international matters." You could almost call it "education by foundation"--from the Unitarians and the socialists to the tax-free foundations--all with the same statist worldview.
Gary Allen, in 1976, wrote the book The Rockefeller File, a book that really gave you the goods on the Rockefeller family and their many internationalist connections. He noted the connections between the Rockefeller Foundation and the Carnegie Foundation. He wrote: "When you hear 'Carnegie Foundation' think Rockefeller. For many years the five Carnegie foundations have been mere appendages of the Rockefeller octopus...As with the Carnegie Foundations, most of the trustees of the Ford Foundation are members of Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations." That is the group that former FBI agent Dan Smoot called "America's Invisible Government."
Gary Allen also noted of the Reece Committee that: "Little wonder that Reece Committee Counsel (Rene) Wormser says evidence compiled during and after the Reese investigation of foundations...leads to the conclusion that there was indeed, something in the nature of an actual conspiracy among certain leading educators in the United States to bring about socialism through the use of our school systems." A congressman named Cox denounced three foundations for this same reason, naming particularly the Rockefeller Foundation. Gary Allen observed tlhat Wormser had concluded that: "It is difficult to believe that the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Education Association could have supported these textbooks. But, the fact is that Rockefeller financed them and the NEA promoted them very widely." Socialist-oriented textbooks in our government schools--why who, in Heaven's name would have thunk it? Remember, we are talking about something that has gone on for decades now. The connections between the NEA, tax-free foundations, and other leftist outfits would probably require a book to expose. Educator Samuel Blumenfeld, in the 1980s wrote an excellent book called The NEA--Trojan Horse in American Education. In it he dealt with the history of the NEA and its many "interesting" connections. See if you can find it on the Internet.
So, tax-free foundations in this country have sought to so alter our lifestyle that we could be comfortably merged with Communist countries. While the old Soviet Union is now gone, (at least in its best-known form) there is still Red China. These same foundations have sought to indoctrinate kids in government schools with socialist textbooks that promote a socialist, and probably Marxist, worldview. This has been going on long enough that it has to have borne fruit for the New World Order crowd. After all, didn't gullible Americans recently elect the Marxist-oriented Obama as president? Do you think that would have happened fifty years ago. Decades of leftist indoctrination in government schools have finally convinced a fair proportion of our population that socialism must be the way to go--after all, it's what we learned in school!
If you think all of this happened by accident, think again! From Unitarians and socialists to tax-free foundations, in the government schools, it has all been "brainwashing 101." Is the government school system beyong reformation? Brother, you'd better believe it. The time is long past that you need to get you kids out (secede) of it if there is any possible way for you to do so.
