His name is Norman Dodd. Lou Dobbs might have confused you .lol. http://www.supremelaw.org/authors/dod...

“ The useful idiots are key. And, they are abundant now. Cheap labor...”

Key concept. And just like the historical idiots this current crop sees themselves as being somehow “more evolved”.

Absolutely it did. The seeds were planted. Just because the gardener died and his house fell into ruin didn’t mean the garden quit growing. Honestly nothing short of a scorched earth policy will stop the insidious weed now.

This was not completely home grown. But, the soil was very fertile. There was a point that our capitalism went a bit overboard and became exploitation in some instances. It’s reality that it just always will. That perceived exploitation made fertile ground for subversion. I’m not saying it’s correct. But that was the perception. And we all know that’s everything.
The creature from Jekyll Island made the soil fertile. The Marxists just exploited it.

McCarthy was right. Way back then it was becoming apparent. When we were taught about McCarthyism in school it was from a negative view point. Lists and pledges and accusations etc......Now that they’re in control the lists and pledges and accusations are back.

To quote from my favorite movie, “We blast off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Go Galt!

"Lou Dodd"? I don't think I have the right name here for "Mr. Dodd". Did a little searching around to no avail.

Thanks for the Lou Dodd posts, Dobrien. It makes an addition to the commie mix. That is, some of the collectivist (communist) transition going on is home grown and need not all be from the Soviet Union. I do recall reading that Lenin and Stalin were "heroes" of a sort back in the '20s and '30s.

I agree.

"Any fool can easily see how a society can go along with loading "non-compliants" onto box cars for one-way trips." Regarding Nazi Germany, I always had a fascination as to how could a civilized people do what they did? Are we watching it in real time right now, right here? Maybe, but I hope not.

The useful idiots are key. And, they are abundant now. Cheap labor...

I know only a couple wild leftists who fly off the handle and insult, almost threaten, those who may say something somewhat conservative. The other 95% seem to be bots. I find that curious, as opposed to scary. I did delete my facebook account right after Trump took office because I was saddened to see how crazy people I knew my whole life had become over Trump. I saw people I knew calling for the abuse of Barron...and similar things. And...like Nietzsche said....Stare into the abyss long enough and it will stare back into you. I'm starting to notice more of that abyss lately. I started a new FB account at the end of Trump's tenure. But, after a year of the sock puppet I'm seeing a lot of bot-like activity. I'll delete again soon as a key facet of going Galt. Social media, for better or worse, is a glimpse into the heart of the left and it clearly is saying that things are going to get very, very bad if this trend continues. Any fool can easily see how a society can go along with loading "non-compliants" onto box cars for one-way trips. I think the American public is closer to that now than it's ever been.

At that time, their interest shifts over to preventing what they call a reversion of life in the United States to what it was prior to 1914, when World War I broke out. At that point, they come to the conclusion that, to prevent a reversion, we must control education in the United States. And they realize that is a pretty big task. To them it is too big for them alone.

So they approach the Rockefeller Foundation with a suggestion: that portion of education which could be considered domestic should be handled by the Rockefeller Foundation, and that portion which is international should be handled by the Endowment.

They then decide that the key to the success of these two operations lay in the alteration of the teaching of American History. So, they approach four of the then most prominent teachers of American History in the country -- people like Charles and Mary Byrd. Their suggestion to them is this, “Will they alter the manner in which they present their subject”” And, they get turned down, flatly.

So, they then decide that it is necessary for them to do as they say, i.e. “build our own stable of historians." Then, they approach the Guggenheim Foundation, which specializes in fellowships, and say” “When we find young men in the process of studying for doctorates in the field of American History, and we feel that they are the right caliber, will you grant them fellowships on our say so? And the answer is, “Yes.”

So, under that condition, eventually they assemble twenty (20), and they take these twenty potential teachers of American History to London. There, they are briefed in what is expected of them -- when, as, and if they secure appointments in keeping with the doctorates they will have earned.

That group of twenty historians ultimately becomes the nucleus of the American Historical Association. And then, toward the end of the 1920's, the Endowment grants to the American Historical Association four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) for a study of our history in a manner which points to what this country look forward to, in the future.

That culminates in a seven-volume study, the last volume of which is, of course, in essence, a summary of the contents of the other six. The essence of the last volume is this: the future of this country belongs to collectivism, administered with characteristic American efficiency.

That is the story that ultimately grew out of, and of course, was what could have been presented by the members of, this Congressional Committee, and the Congress as a whole, for just exactly what it said. But, they never got to that point!

Griffin: This is the story that emerged from the minutes at the Carnegie Foundation?

Dodd: That's right.

A lot of confusion about our education system.
People speculate why and how it happened.
For them I say follow the money. Not just the CCP money that has flooded the major Universities. The $$$ from the tax-exempt foundations.


Dodd: Well, Mr. Griffin, in that report, I specifically -- number one -- defined what was, to us, meant by the phrase “un-American.” And, we defined that, in our way, as being a determination to effect changes in the country by un-Constitutional means.

We have plenty of Constitutional procedures, assuming that we wished to effect a change in the form of government, and that sort of thing. And therefore, any effort in that direction, which did not avail itself of the procedures authorized by the Constitution, could be justifiably called “un-American.” That was the start of educating them, up to that particular point. The next thing was to educate them as to the effect on the country, as a whole, of the activities of large, endowed foundations over the then past forty years.

Griffin: What was that effect, Sir?

Dodd: That affect was to orient our educational system away from support of the principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence, and implemented in the Constitution; and to educate them over to the idea that the task now was to effect an orientation of education away from these briefly stated principles and self-evident truths.

And, that’s what had been the effect of the wealth which constituted the endowments of those foundations -– foundations that had been in existence over the largest portion of the span of fifty years -- and holding them responsible for this change. What we were able to bring forward was -- what we had uncovered was -- the determination of these large endowed foundations, through their trustees, actually to get control over the content of American education.

Upon arrival, after a few amenities, Mr. Gaither said, "Mr. Dodd, we have asked you to come up here today, because we thought that, possibly, off the record, you would tell us why the Congress is interested in the activities of foundations such as ourselves."

And, before I could think of how I would reply to that statement, Mr. Gaither then went on, and voluntarily stated, "Mr. Dodd, all of us who have a hand in the making of policies here, have had experience either with the OSS during the war, or with European economic administration after the war. We have had experience operating under directives. The directives emanate, and did emanate, from the White House. Now, we still operate under just such directives. Would you like to know what the substance of these directives is?"

I said, “Yes, Mr. Gaither, I would like very much to know.” Whereupon, he made this statement to me, "Mr. Dodd, we are here to operate in response to similar directives, the substance of which is that we shall use our grant-making power so to alter life in the United States, that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."

Well, parenthetically, Mr. Griffin, I nearly fell off the chair. I, of course, didn't, but my response to Mr. Gaither then was, “Oh, Mr. Gaither, I can now answer your first question. You've forced the Congress of the United States to spend a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to find our what you have just told me.” I said, “Of course, legally, you're entitled to make grants for this purpose. But, I don't think you're entitled to withhold that information from the People of this country, to whom you're indebted for your tax exemption. So why don't you tell the People of the country just what you told me?” And his answer was, “We would not think of doing any such thing." So, then I said, “Well, Mr. Gaither, obviously, you forced the Congress to spend this money, in order to find out what you just told me.”

Alan Gaither was, at that time, President of the Ford Foundation. Mr. Gaither had sent for me when I found it convenient to be in New York, asked me to call upon him at his office, which I did. On arrival, after a few amenities, Mr. Gaither said, "Mr. Dodd, we have asked you to come up here today because we thought that, possibly, off the record, you would tell us why the Congress is interested in the activities of foundations such as ourselves."

Before I could think of how I would reply to that statement, Mr. Gaither then went on to say, "Mr. Dodd, all of us who have a hand in the making of policies here, have had experience operating under directives, the substance of which is, that we use our grant-making power so as to alter life in the United States that it can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union."


Warning! You are about to enter the Reality Zone -- a place were truth is stranger than fiction -- where knowledge is king -- where myths are shattered and deception exposed. It is a place where the lessons of history are found, and where true-life adventures reveal the hidden nature of man.

If you proceed, you will not be able to return to the twilight zone from which you came.

You have five seconds remaining to escape.

1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5.

Welcome to the Reality Zone. I am Ed Griffin. The story we are about to hear represents a missing piece in the puzzle of modern history. We are about to hear a man tell us that the major tax-exempt foundations of America, since at least 1945, have been operating to promote a hidden agenda. That agenda has nothing to do with the surface appearance of charity, good works or philanthropy.

This man will tell you that the real objective has been to influence American educational institutions and to control foreign policy agencies of the Federal government. The purpose of the control has been to condition Americans to accept the creation of world government. That government is to be based on the principle of collectivism, which is another way of saying socialism; and, it is to be ruled from behind the scenes by those same interests which control the tax-exempt foundations.

From transcript of Norman Dodd interview by the Author G Edward Griffith.
Seems like today but it was from 1982

You will see millions migrate from Fakebook to Truth Social.. FB engagements will drop off the cliff “.lets go Zuckerberg”

Yep, the Puppet-In-Chief's wannabe commie handlers who number as few among many traitors for the "enemies foreign and DOMESTIC," who crooked Quid Pro Quo Joe swore an oarth to protect us from.

Xiden's incompetence places the entire world in a dangerous place. He and his minions are especially dangerous to America even if there wasn't a Putin or Xi.

"The soviets play chess. Most in us government have a skill set suited to checkers." Ha, yes! In the past I've had leftist friends and family members get upset with me when I used to say Putin plays international chess, while Obama can't do checkers. Add Xi with Putin and change Obama to Biden and we have the same thing today.

Trump understood chess.

The Neo Communists are counting on the stupidity of the useful idiots to pull off what they want. An American school system that graduates kids that can paraphrase Karl Marx and quote the latest woke bromides, but can't balance a checkbook is exactly what the commies want - and they're getting it!

Thank you for sharing that story. I've seen the same thing, even against me on FB. I rarely go there anymore unless to wish a friend or relative Happy Birthday. Most of the hateful or anti-American types I've blocked from commenting on any of my stuff, but getting rid of FB altogether would probably be the right thing to do.

The soviets play chess. Most in us government have a skill set suited to checkers.

Bailing out the Soviet Union to helps it morph into Russia was a mistake. You don't buy friends.
Most favored nation to China was a fools move, it emboldened them, allowed them to leverage us, as we accepted the myriad of their atrocities.

This nation has been gutted and cored by personal and corporate greed. I doubt, with he entrenched mindset prevalent in young society today, the jet can be pulled out of nose dive we're in without serious bloodshed.

I'm glad to be on the downward slope of my life.

This video helps clarify some things. As an awake American I watch things that are going on. Some things are little things. Many things I see aren't readily hashed out...they're convoluted, yet very notable.

All this money he's talking about that flows from America to the communists regimes is pretty-much directly from the pockets of the American working class. That's my take...ironic, huh?

Lately, I've seen some very odd, aggressive behavior on social media toward a friend of mine. She's somebody who is politically active (conservative) at the local level, and outspoken about gun rights, parental rights, etc. Her husband, one of my best friends, recently died. After this she received all kinds of threats and people laughing about her husband dying. One lady even made a tik-tok video making fun of my friend. The viciousness to this lady from people that she's never met, people that don't live anywhere near her, and many people with profiles so vague that I concluded they were bots (fake people created in social media for some purpose)...it was beyond troubling. It was some sort of organized, orchestrated terror campaign. Who would do such a thing? Well...this video, I think, points to Marxist or Marxist-like faction attacking somebody it sees as a capitalist/right-wing operative. I really can't think of any other explanation. Yeah, people are nutty and weird. But, what I saw recently was different. I actually told her not to worry about it. Ignore it. That many of the offenders probably weren't even real people. And, those who are real people are just useful idiots...and harmless. It did give me a glimpse into how dark social media is as more people seem to rely on it. Anyway...sorry for the long story. This clip just had me thinking about this and I thought I'd share.

I do get the feeling that Russia and China are eyeing what is probably our weakest president in decades and they are licking their chops. Now, we're approaching conflict with one over the Ukraine and the other will likely snatch Taiwan this year. This are minor compared to what this clip suggests is planned. I hope he's wrong...

Thanks. Very informative and scary as hell!
A senile old fool as POTUS with 3 years yet to go is the perfect storm both Russia and China (not to mention Iran) has been waiting for.

commies do what commies do

the crop we have in the US are too stupid to see that i never works
they think they are smarter than all the rest
