One World Order - Socialist Dictatorship
by Dr John Coleman.
INTRODUCTION
"We will build the New World Order piece by piece right under their noses" (the American people). "The house of the New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. An end run around sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal attack." Richard Gardner, leading American Socialist, Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), April 1974.
In this, my third book ("The Committee of 300" and "Diplomacy By Deception,") I tell how Gardner's statement gives notice of the Fabian Socialist agenda for the United States. The ideas, thoughts and people who have worked diligently to establish Socialism, the principal, fatal political disease of modern nations is explained in clear detail.
There is an account of the various Socialists goals set by the British Fabian Society, whose motto is, "Make Haste Slowly." When asked to explain Communism, Lenin replied, "Communism is Socialism in a hurry." Socialism has nowhere to progress but to Communism, is something I have often said. The book explains why so many of the ills that plague our society today have their origin in careful Socialist planning and execution.
Socialism is inherently evil because it forces people to accept deliberately engineered changes they have neither requested nor want. The power of Socialism is disguised in soothing terms and hides behind a mask of humanitarianism. It is also found in far reaching, fundamental changes in religion, which the Socialists have long used as a potent vehicle for gaining acceptance, after which they spread their influence inside churches to the detriment of all religions.
The goal of Socialism is the liquidation of the free enterprise system, which is true capitalism. Scientific Socialism goes under several disguises, and its promoters call themselves Liberals or Moderates. They wear no badge and are not recognizable, as they would be if they called themselves Communists.
There are more than 300,000 Socialists inside the United States Government, and careful estimates have it that in 1994, 87 percent of the members of Congress are Socialists. Executive orders are an unconstitutional Socialist ruse to use the legislative route to make the Constitution of the United States of no effect, where direct methods are not possible to bring about desired Socialist changes blocked by the Constitution.
Socialism is revolution without openly violent methods but never the less does the utmost violence to the psyche of the nation. It is a movement governed by stealth. Its slow advance on the United States from its home base in England was almost imperceptible up to the 1950s. The Fabian Socialist movement remains distinct from so called Socialist Party groups and its forward crawl was thus almost imperceptible to the majority of Americans. "When you wound a Communist, a Socialist bleeds" is a saying that dates back to the early days of Fabian Socialism.
Socialism ardently welcomes proliferation of central government power which they strive to secure for themselves, always pretending it to be for the common good. The United States and Britain are full to the brim with false prophets pushing the New World Order. These Socialist missionaries preach peace and humanitarianism and common good. Fully aware that they could not overcome the resistance of the American people to Communism by direct means, the insidious Fabian Socialists knew they had to move silently and slowly, and avoid alerting the people to their real objectives. Thus was 'scientific Socialism' adopted as the way to overcoming the United States and making of it the leading Socialist country in the world.
How far Fabian Socialism has succeeded, and where we stand today is told in this book. Presidents Wilson, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Carter, Kennedy and Johnson were eager, willing servants of Fabian Socialism. Their mantle was passed to President Clinton. Democracy and Socialism go hand-in-hand. All United States presidents since Wilson have repeatedly stated that the United States is a Democracy, when in fact, it is a Confederated Republic. Fabian Socialism directs the destiny of the world in a way which is disguised to render it unrecognizable. Socialism is the author of graduated income tax, the destroyer of nationalism, the author of so-called "free trade."
This book is no dull account of the philosophies of Socialism, but a dynamic, dramatic telling of how it became the foremost menace to free men everywhere, but more especially, in the United States, which has still to confront it, head-on. The bland, smooth surface of Socialism hides its true intent: A Federal World Government under Socialist control, in which We, the People, will be their slaves in a New World Order of the New Dark Age.

HOW FABIAN SOCIALISM BEGAN
AND SUBSEQUENT HISTORY
"Like all Socialists, I believe that the Socialist Society evolves in time into a Communist Society." — John Strachey, Labor Party Cabinet Minister.
"In American newspaper jargon, John Strachey would be described as 'Marxist No. 1' and the title would be deserved." "Left News," March 1938.
Fabian Socialism began with the Fabian Society, which in their words, "consists of Socialists who allied themselves with the Communist Manifesto of 1848," written by Karl Marx, a Prussian born Jew who lived the better part of his life in Highgate, London. In the "Basis of the Fabian Society" we learn the following:
"It therefore aims at the reorganization of society by the emancipation of land and industrial capital from individual ownership and vesting them in the community for the general benefit. In this way only can natural and acquired advantages of the country be shared by the whole people..."
This was the principal that Fabian Socialism exported to the United States, one which they have tirelessly forced upon the American people to the great detriment of the nation.
Marx died in solitary "digs" in October of 1883, without ever realizing the vision he shared with Moses Mendelssohn (Mendelssohn is generally recognized as the father of European Communism), and was buried in the small, walled Highgate Cemetery in North London. That the Communist Manifesto gave life to Socialism, was admitted by Professor Harold Laski, the man most closely identified with the movement from its inception, and up to the time of his death in 1950.
But Socialism actually, was born with the founding of the Ethical Society of Culture, formerly the Fellowship of New Life, in New York. Although the political economy of John Stuart Mill as expressed in Henry George's Socialist book, "Progress and Poverty" the spiritual side of Socialism should not be ignored. Webb and his wife Beatrice ran the Fabian Society from its beginning. Most of the members of the Fellowship of New Life which preceded the Ethical Society of Culture, were Freemasons affiliated with Madame Blavatsky's occult Theosophy to which Annie Besant also subscribed.
Not that Laski was in any sense a "spiritual man," being more like Marx than Ramsay McDonald, who went on to become prime minister of England. Laski was a most powerful influence on scores of British political, economic and church leaders, and is credited with having compellingly influenced Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Victor Gollancz, the Socialist publisher, said on many occasions that Socialism is necessary for world domination: "Socialism centralizes power and makes individuals completely subject to those who control that power," the publisher said.
Having withdrawn from the Fellowship of the New Life, Fabian Socialism tried several paths already trodden by Communists, Bakounists, Babuovists (anarchists) and Karl Marx, always vehemently denying any connection with these movements. Consisting mainly of intellectuals, civil servants, journalists and publishers like the great Victor Gollancz, Fabian Socialism had no interest in getting involved with street fighting anarchist revolutionaries. The founder members of Fabian Socialism perfected the technique first used by Adam Weishaupt — that of penetrating the Catholic Church and then "boring away from inside until just an empty husk was left." It was called, "penetration and permeation." Apparently neither Weishaupt nor Gollancz thought Christians would be smart enough to see what was happening.
Gollancz was reported as saying: "Christians are not exactly bright, so it will be easy for Socialism to lead them down the garden path through their ideals of brotherly love and social justice." Fabian Socialism targeted political, economic and educational organizations, in addition to the Christian Church. Later Gollancz's Left Wing Books gave special discounts to Christians who were interested in Socialist ideas. On the selection committee of the Left Book Club were Gollancz himself, Professor Harold Laski, and John Strachey, a Labour Party member of Parliament. Gollancz, who also owned The Christian Book Club, was a strong believer in Bolshevik Russia as an ally of Socialism. At the urging of Beatrice Webb, he published one of the Fabian Society's best sellers, "Our Soviet Ally."
Fabian Socialism set out from the very beginning of its history to penetrate and permeate the British Labor and Liberal Parties, and, as it turned out, also the Democrat Party in the United States. It was relentless in its zeal and energy to create "feminist" Socialism, at which it was to become highly successful. Socialism succeeded in gaining the ascendency of school boards, town councils and labor unions under the guise of bettering the lot of the working man. Fabian Socialism's determination to capture education mirrors what Madame Zinoviev had long counseled in Bolshevik Russia.
In 1950, Gollancz published, "Corruption in a Profit Economy" a widely read work by Mark Starr. Starr was a product of Fabian Socialism, and although considered a bit rough around the edges (he began life as a coal miner,) he was not rejected by the Ivy League Socialists of Harvard and Yale, to which the Fabian Society had gained access in its orderly progression up the ladder from its humble beginnings in London. Starr emigrated to the United States in 1928, after earning his Socialist credentials at the National Council of Labour Colleges.
Tutored by the formidable Margaret Cole, the founder of the Fabian Research Center, Starr was THE link between the Fabian Society in London and the burgeoning Socialist movements in America. Starr served at the Brockwood Labor College from 1925-1928, at an early age subjected to a Socialist education second to none. The Socialist Garland Fund gave Starr a grant of $74,227, a considerable sum of money in those days. He later became educational director of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) from 1935 to 1962. His work on labor politics and labor education was outstanding in the cause of Socialism. As far as Starr was concerned, education meant teaching that private profit was wrong and should be abolished.
In 1941, Starr was appointed vice president of the American Federation of Teachers, an avante-garde Socialist teachers body of the day. After taking American citizenship, Starr was named by President Harry Truman to the United States Advisory Commission, authorized by Public Act 402, "to advise the State Department and the Congress on the operation of information centers and libraries maintained by the United States Government in foreign countries, as well as on the exchange of students and technical experts." This was indeed a "coup" for Socialism in the United States!
Fabian Socialism attracted many of the upper elite of society in Britain and the United States. It is said of American Socialists that they "aped their English betters, admiring their command of the language, their quick turn of phrase and their genteel respectability, perhaps personified by Professor Graham Wallas, Sir Stafford Cripps, Hartley Shawcross and Richard Crossman."
Professor Graham Wallas lectured at the New School for Social Research in New York City, a Socialist "think tank" founded by the "New Republic" magazine, that catered for left wing professors, of which the United States had more than its share. Wallas was one of the earlier intellectuals to join the then nondescript Fabian Society, which, back in 1879, faced a very uncertain future and was not considered to be a threat to Government or Church. Wallas' early interest in education is mirrored by one of his earliest jobs — that of County School Management Committee of the School Board. As we shall see in other chapters, the Fabian Socialists hierarchy considered control of education the kingpin in their strategy to capture the world.
That ideal was further reflected by Wallas' teaching appointment at the London School of Economics, founded by Sydney Webb, and then still a fledgling Socialist institution of learning. Wallas had only four students in his class. Wallas believed that the way to Socialize a country was through applied psychology. The way to Socialize America, Wallas contended, was to take the mass of the population by the hand like children (he did not have a very high regard for the standard of education in the United States) and like children, lead them one step at a time down the road to Socialism, to which I would add, and ultimate slavery. Wallas is an important name in this account of Socialism, as he wrote a book which was adopted, word-for-word by President Lyndon Johnson, as Democrat Party official policy.
The sinister creeping progress of Socialism that began to blanket England, might have been avoided, but for WWI. The flower of Christian British youth who would have resisted the onward march of this alien concept, lay dead in the fields of Flanders, their lives uselessly thrown away on a nebulous ideal of "patriotism." Numbed by the horrific loss of their sons, the older generation did not care about what Socialism was doing to their country, believing that "there will always be an England."
Social psychology was a weapon used deftly used to deflect attacks on American Fabianist organizations. Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), said it was not part of the Fabian Society, and its mouthpiece, "The Nation" sought vehemently to deny attempts to tie the two in with each other.
In 1902, Wallas was teaching outright Socialism at the Philadelphia University summer sessions. He had been invited to the United States by wealthy American Socialists who attended Oxford summer schools in 1899 and 1902, the period when the summer school indoctrination classes were at the height of their popularity with rich Americans who had nothing better to do. The year 1910 found Wallas as the mentor of American Socialist leaders like Walter Lippmann, delivering the Lowell Lectures at Harvard. Graham Wallas was recognized as being among the Big Four Socialist intellectuals in Britain, and as such, he was sought out by the American Socialist Ray Stannard Baker, the emissary Colonel Edward Mandel House sent to the Paris Peace Conference to represent him, and find out what the delegates were doing.
Between 1905 and 1910, Graham Wallas wrote "The Great Society" which was to become the blueprint for President Johnson's program of the same name, and which embodied social psychology principles. Wallas made it very plain, that the object of social psychology was to control human conduct, thus preparing the masses for the coming Socialist State that would ultimately lead them into slavery — although he was careful not to spell it out that far. Wallas became a conduit into the United States for Fabian Socialists ideas, much of them going into Roosevelt's "New Deal," written by Socialist Stuart Chase, Kennedy's "New Frontier" written by Socialist Henry Wallace and Johnson's "Great Society" written by Graham Wallas. From these facts alone, the tremendous impact of Fabian Socialism upon the American political scene can be gauged.
Like Professor Laski, Wallas had the same good disposition and kindly nature which was to make such a big impact on political and religious leaders in the United States. Both men were to be the Fabian Society's most successful missionaries to universities and colleges all across the United States, not to mention their impact on the leaders of the aggressive "feminist" movement which was just getting started.
Thus, from the beginning of Fabian Socialism in America, this dangerously radical movement was falsely clothed in a mantle of benigness that was able to deceive "the very elect," to paraphrase the Bible. It was a cover for revolution on both sides of the Atlantic while remaining aloof from the violence generally associated with the word, "revolution." History will one day record that the Fabian Socialist revolution far exceeded in scope and breadth the violent Bolshevik Revolution. While the Bolshevik Revolution ended more that fifty years ago, the labian Socialist revolution is still gathering momentum and growing ever stronger. This unobtrusive movement has literally "moved mountains," and vastly changed the course of history, and nowhere more so than in the United States.
The two guiding lights who remained in control of Fabian Socialism to the end of their days were George Bernard Shaw and Sydney Webb. Later, they were joined by men like Graham Wallas, John Maynard Keynes and Harold Laski, whose dream of a Socialist conquest of Great Britain and the United States they knew could only be realized by the progressive weakening of the financial system of each country, until they collapsed into a total welfare state. We see this now in effect having overtaken Britain which has become a bankrupted, welfare state.
Fabian Socialism's second course of action was against the constitutional separation of powers mandated by the United States Constitution. Professor Laski and his colleagues felt that if Fabian Socialism could remove this obstacle, they would have the key to dismantling the entire Constitution of the United States. Thus, it was imperative that Socialism train and deploy special change agents who would be in a position to undermine this, the most important provision in the Constitution. The Fabian Society set about doing just that, and the success of their mission can be seen in the shocking manner in which Congress blithely surrenders its powers to the executive branch in a manner which can only be described not only as reckless, but 100 percent unconstitutional.
A good example would be Line Item Veto powers given to the President Clinton in defiance of the Constitution. Another good example was the surrender of powers in trade negotiations which properly belong in the House of Representatives. As we shall see in the chapters dealing with NAFTA and GATT, this is precisely what Congress has done, thereby wittingly or unwittingly — it matters not — playing right into the hands of the Socialist enemies of this Nation.
Sydney Webb and George Bernard Shaw are the men who set the Fabian Socialist course: penetration and permeation, rather than anarchy and violent revolution. Both were determined to ensure that the public be ted to believe that Socialism didn't necessarily mean LEFT, and certainly not Marxism. Both journeyed to Bolshevik Russia at the height of the terror, ignoring, rather than commenting on the butchery that was public knowledge. Of the two, Webb was the more impressed with the Bolsheviks and wrote a work, "Soviet Socialism — A New Civilization?" It came out later, after a Soviet foreign office official defected, that Webb apparently did not actually write the book, which was the work of the Soviet Foreign Office.
Shaw and Webb became known as the "demons of Socialism waiting to be exorcised," before Socialism could unfold its wings and as Shaw put it, "rescue Communism from the barricades." Although Shaw pretended not to care about FORM, he nevertheless expressed the belief that Fabian Socialism would become a "constitutional movement." Even with the "greats" of Socialism pouring into the movement, Toynbee, Keynes, Haldane, Lindsay, H.G. Wells and Huxley, Shaw and Webb kept their grip on the London Fabian Society and steered it in the direction they had chosen so many years before.
The nearly always penniless Shaw had his indigence relieved through marriage to Charlotte Payne Townshend, a lady of considerable means, which was, as some would have it, is the reason why the irascible Shaw married her. This is born out by the fact that before the marriage vows were exchanged, Shaw insisted that he be taken care of in the form of a large prenuptial settlement.
Shaw was no longer given to soap box orations nor basement meetings, but aspired to mix socially with Socialism's upper crust. Men like Lord Grey and Lord Asquith became his good friends, and while Shaw still took one or two trips to Moscow, he cooled toward Communism. Although an avowed atheist, this did not stop Shaw from cultivating those whom he felt could be used to further his career, such as Lord Asquith in particular. Shaw did not take orders from anybody, let alone the "newcomers" like Hugh Gaitskell, future prime minister of England, and a protege of the Rockefeller family. Shaw definitely considered himself as "old guard" along with Sydney and Beatrice Webb. These tough, hardened professional Socialists weathered many a storm over policy and never flinched in the face of often considerable outside opposition and "family feuds."
Fabian Socialism began life in 1883 as a debating society, "Nueva Vita" (New Life) with meetings in a small room at 17 Osnaburgh Street, London. It was not unlike the start of the German Nationalist Socialist movement which Hitler later took over. One of the aims of "Nueva Vita" was to bring together in an amalgam, the teachings of Hegel and St. Thomas Aquinas.
But the word "Socialism" was not new, having been around since 1835, long before "Nueva Vita" began its infant steps in 1883, the very evening that Marx went to his death. The leader of the group — numbering four people — was Edward Pease, and their aim was to use education as a vehicle for Socialist propaganda, which was to have such a profound effect on education and politics on both sides of the Atlantic. This would seem to have been a tall order for a group of men who did not have the required public school education, a necessity for would-be leaders in Victorian England, and yet, an examination of the Fabian Society shows that is exactly what they accomplished.
In rather grandiose style, the young men named their group after Quintas Fabian, a Roman general of note, whose tactics were said to be based upon waiting patiently for the enemy to make a mistake and then striking hard. The Irishman, George Bernard Shaw joined the Fabian Society in May of 1884. Shaw tame from the Hampstead Historical Club, a Marxist reading circle. It is odd how both Shaw and Marx came to Socialism within a short distance of each other — Hampstead Heath is not that far from Highgate. And both frequented the British Museum. (I happen to know this area well, having lived in the area of Hampstead and Highgate and spent many years of study at the British Museum.) So in a sense, my perception of what Fabian Socialism was about, may have been clearer because of these circumstances.
Never admitting to knowing Marx, although he courted his daughter Eleanor, Shaw is suspected of having been Marx's "front runner" to bring Socialism home to audiences he, Shaw, addressed more often that not, four times a week, anywhere he could find them. A study that I made in the British Museum leads me to believe that Communism invented Socialism as a vehicle for its radical ideas that would not otherwise have gone down well in England or the United States, the two countries most prized for conquest by Communism.
There is little doubt in my mind that Shaw was Marx in "disguise" as Socialism was Communism "in disguise." My theory gains added weight when we learn that Shaw attended the Socialist International in London in 1864, as a Fabian delegate. As we know, Marx was the creator of the Socialist Internationals at which his flawed theories were preached ad-infinitum alongside outright Communist propaganda. Karl Marx never tried to hide the unholy alliance between the Communist International and his own Socialist International, but Shaw and the Webbs, and later, Harold Laski, vehemently denied any connection with Marxism or Communism.
Endless hours were spent by the Fabians splitting hairs whether it was "Social Democracy" or "Democratic Socialism" which was to be the battle cry. In the end it was "Democratic Socialism" that was to be used in the United States with such stunning success, Shaw's idea that Socialist intellectuals (in which category he included himself) would lead the charge at election time, while labor would provide the money. This was successfully co-opted by ADA, who flooded Congressional committees with "experts" shuttled to and from Harvard, to confound and confuse Senators and Representatives, unschooled and inexperienced in the ways of Socialist treachery and treason.
Socialism IS NOT ABOUT EQUALITY AND FREEDOM. Nor is it about helping the middle class and working people. On the contrary, it is about enslavement of the people by gradual, subtle means, a fact that Shaw once admitted to in an unguarded moment. Graham Wallas' book "Great Society" and Lyndon Banes Johnson's "Great Society" were the same thing, and on the surface, looked as if the people would be the beneficiaries of government largess, but in truth, it was merely an enslavement trap baited with Socialist honey. AS LONG AS SOCIALISM IS ALIVE, COMMUNISM CANNOT BE DEAD, AND THAT IS WHERE SOCIALISM IS LEADING THIS NATION — INTO THE STEEL TRAP OF COMMUNISM.
We need to remind ourselves what the great President Andrew Jackson said about the hidden enemy in our midst: "Sooner or later your enemy will show himself, and you will know what to do....you will be confronted by many unseen enemies of your hard-fought liberty. But they will show themselves in time — time enough to destroy them." Let us hope that the American people, blinded by false Socialists policies of 4 presidents, will have the scales removed from their eyes before it is too late. [I say 13 presidents here in 2021 DC]
A second Marxist in disguise was Sydney Webb, so disdainfully dismissed by Sir Bertrand Russell in later years as a "clerk in the Colonial Office." Webb was angry in his denials that he had ever met Marx, but as it was with Shaw, there is circumstantial evidence that Webb did indeed meet with Marx quite regularly. Unlike Shaw who married late, Webb married Beatrice Potter quite early on, a wealthy, formidable women who was to advance his career more than he ever cared to admit.
Beatrice was the daughter of a Canadian railroad magnate, who had fallen in love with Joseph Chamberlain, but rejected by him due to class difference. In those days, having money didn't mean automatic admission to the best circles. One had to come from the "right" background, which usually meant a public school education (A "public school" in England is the same as a private school in America). From their very first meeting Shaw and the Webbs were on the same wavelength, and became an excellent team act.
The Socialist revolution proposed by the Fabian Society was to cast a long, dark shadow across England and later the United States. Its aims differed little from those set out in the Communist manifesto of 1848: "It therefore aims at the reorganization of society by the emancipation of land and Industrial capital from individual and Class ownership and vesting them in the community for general benefit. It accordingly works for the extinction of private property in land... It seeks to achieve these ends by general dissemination of knowledge as to the relations between the individual and Society in its economic, ethical and political aspects."
There was no denouncement of religion, no long-haired anarchists running around with bombs. Nothing like that. Fascists, were also welcome, witness the fact that Sir Oswald Mosely and his wife, nee Cynthia Curzon, were both firmly committed Socialists before they were called to Fascism. Shaw, the "old guard" Socialist had high praise of Hitler in the years leading up to WWII. Instead of showing its true colors, Fabianism put on genteel airs and graces that belied its dangerous revolutionary intent: the unwritten constitution of England and the written Constitution of the United States were to be subverted and replaced by a system of State-run Socialism, through a process that was known as "gradualism" and "penetration and permeation."
There are some similarities here between Hitler and the Fabianists: in the beginning, nobody took the slightest notice of them. But unlike Hitler, for Shaw and Webb, the vision was one where the world would evolve into a New World Order in which everyone would be happy and contented, this having been brought about without resort to violence and anarchy.
The Fabians began to spread their wings and by 1891 were ready to publish their first "Fabian News." It was during this period that Beatrice Webb began teaching radical feminism and developed the Fabian Research program, later used with great success by Justice Louis Brandeis and known as the "Brandeis Brief." This consisted of volume after volume of "research" material, enough to swamp opponents, covered with the thinnest of legal briefs. Not much encouragement was given to nondescript unimportant new members: Webb and Shaw felt their movement was one for the elite — they were not interested in mass movements of people without money and influence.
For this reason they turned their attention to Oxford and Cambridge Universities, where the sons of the elite were educated and who were later to take the Fabian message (suitably disguised as "reforms") into the heart and soul of the Parliament. The Fabian Society's goal was to get Socialists installed in positions of power, where their influence could be counted on to bring about "reforms."
This program, somewhat modified, was practiced in the United States also, and produced Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson and Clinton — Socialists all. Such agents of change were trained in the Fabian way of combining sociology with politics to open doors. Mere numbers was never its style. One of their elite, Arthur Henderson, who was Britain's Foreign Minister in 1929, was the guiding, leading light in getting diplomatic recognition for the monstrous Bolshevik regime, with the United States following suit a few years later.
The first Fabian Society cell in Oxford opened in 1895, and by 1912 there were three more, with students forming more than 20 percent of the membership. This was perhaps the most profound period for the Fabian Society's growth; students being inducted into Socialism, many of whom went on to be world leaders.
The little movement that nobody paid any attention to in 1891, had arrived. One of the most dangerous radical, revolutionary movements of the 20th century had taken root in England, and was already starting to spread to the United States. Laski, Galbraith, Attlee, Beaverbrook, Sir Bertrand Russell, H.G. Wells, Wallass, Chase and Wallace; these were some of the Fabian Socialists who were to have a profound effect in shaping the course the United States was to take.
This was particularly true of Professor Laski. Few in the government of the thirty years that Laski spent in America, ever became aware of the depth of his penetration into education and the very government itself. This was a man who put the tenets of Socialism into daily practice. Laski lectured in many of the States and at the Universities of Oregon, California, Colorado, Columbia University, Yale, Harvard and Roosevelt University, in Chicago. During all of this time, he constantly urged the adoption of a Federal program of "social insurance" which he omitted to say, would lead to the Socialist goal of a TOTAL welfare state.
In later years, Laski, Wallas, Keynes, and many of the Fabian Society political leaders and economists would go to the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations to learn the methods of John Rawlings Reese, which became known as "inner conditioning" and "long range penetration." It was to this school that Henry Kissinger was also sent.
Gradually, as was their custom, Fabianists began to penetrate both the Labor and Liberal Parties, from where they exerted great influence in the socializing of the Englishman, formerly sturdily independent and not known to accept government aid. While the Webbs claimed credit for the "penetration" technique, the claim was rudely upset in 1952 by Colonel I.M. Bogolepov, who said that the entire plan was written for the Webbs in the Soviet Foreign Office, as had much of the material in the many books the Webbs claimed to have written. Bogolepov went on to say that much of the material in Webb's books he had personally written. "They changed it just a bit here and there, otherwise it was a copied verbatim," the colonel said.
As is so often the case when leftist or socialist heroes are debunked, the press covers up and praises the exposed one with masses of irrelevant verbiage until the charge is all but forgotten. We see this almost daily in the press with regard to the moral character and political ineptitude of President Clinton. "He is theirs, and no matter what is said of him, they will not let the mud stick," an intelligence colleague of mine said. And wash Clinton they do. In analyzing reports of Clinton's questionable morality and political mistakes, one cannot help but be impressed by the Fabian Socialist damage control: "wash" the target and smother the attacker in verbiage that has little relevancy to the issues.
In studying the history of the Fabian Society in the British Museum in London, I was struck by the awesome progress of the tiny band of unknowns who went on to bring some of the most important politicians, writers, teachers, economists, scientists, philosophers, religious leaders and publishers into the Fabian Society's orbit, while the world seemed never to notice its existence. Why the profound changes that were coming into being were not cause for alarm can be explained. Every single move made by Fabianists was cloaked in the mantle of "reforms" and the Fabian technique of equating "reforms" with "beneficial," "just," or "good" was the key to their success.
The same things held good for American Socialists. Every major move made by the Socialist Fifth Column in Washington is disguised as "reforms," that are going to benefit the people. The trick is as old as the hills, yet voters fall for it every time. Roosevelt's "New Deal" was lifted straight out of a Fabian Socialist book of the same title written by Stuart Chase, yet, seemingly, it was accepted as a genuine "reform" of the system. Even Woodrow Wilson's recognition of the treasonous Kerensky government, was clothed in language crafted to intentionally deceive the American people that "reforms" going on in Russia were for the benefit of the common people. Johnson's "Great Society" was another "American" program lifted straight out of a book written by Graham Wallas, called 'The Great Society."
With the London School of (Socialist) Economics established, although nowhere near as pretentious in the beginning as the title sounded, Fabian Socialists became increasingly influential in shaping monetary policies on both sides of the Atlantic. The facility was vastly upgraded when the Rockefeller foundation gave it a substantial grant. The method of funding Socialist institutions through grants by the wealthy elite, and its day-to-day programs for the poor, is believed to be the idea of Shaw, which he activated after he attended a lecture at the London School of Economics.
Basically, making the poor pay for "local" programs came down to starting trade unions among the working class, and then using member's dues to facilitate and fund Socialist programs. It is rather like the Freemasons, who are prone to let us know that they contribute generous amounts of money to charities. But the money usually comes from the public, not from Mason coffers. In the United States the Shriners are famous for donating money to hospitals, but the money comes from the public by street parades the Shriners hold. None of their OWN money goes to hospitals.
The "Four Pillars of the House of Socialism," written by Sydney Webb shortly after WW I, became the blueprint for future Socialist action, not only in Britain, but also in the United States. The plan called for the destruction of the system of production of goods and services based on competition, unlimited taxation, massive state welfare, no private property rights and a One World Government. These objectives did not differ all that much from the principles laid down by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto of 1848. The differences lay in method of application, style, rather than in substance.
In detail, state-financed welfare was to be the first principle. The right of women to vote was included (the birth of women's rights movements), all land to be nationalized, with no private property rights. All industries "serving the people" (rail, power, light, phone, etc.) to be nationalized, "private profit" to be eliminated from the insurance industry, confiscation of wealth via taxation to be stepped up and finally, the concept of a One World Government was spelled out: International economic controls, international courts providing international legislation governing social affairs.
A cursory examination of the Communist Manifesto of 1848 reveals where the "research" for the "Four Pillars" was done. While "Four Pillars" dealt quite exclusively with socializing Britain, many of its ideas were put into practice by Wilson, Roosevelt, Johnson, Carter, and now, Clinton. "Labour and the New Social Order" had made the big time in the United States, where its thoroughly revolutionary aims went unrecognized, even as Hitler was being held up as the greatest threat to the world. Whether we like it or not, the policies and programs instituted by Wilson, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Reagan all bore the stamp, "Made in England By the Fabian Society." This is truer with Clinton than with any of the former presidents.
Ramsay McDonald, sent to the United States to "spy out the land" went on to become Britain's first Fabian Society Socialist prime minister. McDonald set the pattern for future prime ministers to surround themselves with Fabian Socialist advisors, a tradition carried on by Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Across the Atlantic, Fabian Socialists surrounded President Wilson and presented a program to socialize the United States. It was an altogether spectacular achievement for those few men under the leadership of Pease, who set out to change the world at the turn of the century, and did so by making full use of "presidential advisors."
One of the rising stars in the Fabian Society's inner circle was Sir Stafford Cripps, a nephew of Beatrice Webb. Sir Stafford played a major role in advising American Socialists on how to get the United States to join in WWII. In 1929, Cripps had been a guiding light for the upper-crust entre into Fabianism, this, in spite of the fact that Fabianism and Communism had become blurred along the edges, and several leading conservatives of the day warned that there was little to choose between Fabian Socialism and Communism, other than the lack of membership cards for Fabian Socialists.
The year 1929 also saw the rise of another star who was destined to shake the economic and financial policies of many nations, including his own England, but perhaps more importantly, those of the United States. John Maynard Keynes had become a virtual Fabian Society icon thanks to men like Gollancz, with his giant left publishing house and Left Book Club, and Harold Joseph Laski. (1893-1950)
Rare Fabian Society papers I saw in the British Museum were of the opinion that without the blessing of Laski, Keynes would not have amounted to much. Laski was once described in these papers as "everybody's idea of a Socialist." Even the great H.G. Wells bowed the knee to Laski, calling him, "the greatest Socialist intellectual in the English-speaking world."
Laski came from Jewish parents in moderate circumstances and it is said the rise of Hitler was what turned him to a militant for Jewish rights in Palestine. Clashes with Earnest Bevin, Socialist prime minister of Britain were frequent and furious. On May Day, 1945, Laski, as chairman of the British Labor Party, made a speech in which he reiterated that he did not believe in the Jewish religion, because he was a Marxist. But now, Laski said, he believed the rebirth of the Jewish nation in Palestine was vitally necessary. This was confirmed by Ben Gurion himself.
Laski's opinion was conveyed to President Truman and Rabbi Stephen Wise on April 20,1945. Truman had inherited Roosevelt's hardline stand in favor of Jewish aspirations, as dictated by Laski, and when trouble began brewing over the question of Jewish settlers being allowed into Palestine, Truman sent a copy of what many believed was a Fabian-Socialist report on the status of refugee camps in Europe, urging then Foreign Secretary Bevin to let 100,000 Jews emigrate from these camps and settle in Palestine.
Truman's message caused Bevin to take deep umbrage with both Laski and Truman. Bevin's image of Jews was neither pro nor anti. His views were decidedly tempered by those of Clement Attlee, then Prime Minister of England. As Bevin saw it, the Jews were not a nation, while on the other hand, the Arabs were. The Jews don't need a state of their own," Bevin said. He told Laski that he would not pay the slightest attention to Truman's suggestion, putting it down to, "pressure from the New York Jewish vote." Bevin's refusal to see it (Laski's and Truman's way) resulted in endless squabbling.
Bevin adhered to his policy based on his belief that "the Arabs were essentially indigenous to the region and pro-British, while a Zionist state meant an intrusion of an alien, disruptive element, which would weaken the region and open the doors to Communism." Even when Weitzman went to meet with him, Bevin refused to offer more than a monthly quota of fifteen hundred Jews who could go to Palestine. From this had to be deducted the number of illegal Jewish immigrants who entered Palestine each of the months. This was one of the very few occasions that Fabian Socialism and Laski suffered a severe defeat.
Ayn Rand is said to have used Laski as her model for her 1943 novel, "The Fountainhead," and Saul Bellow wrote, "I shall never forget Mosby's observations on Harold Laski: on packing the Supreme Court, on the Russian Purge trials, and on Hitler." Laski's influence is still felt in the United States, forty-four years after his death. His association with Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, Edward R. Murrow, Max Lerner, Averill Harriman, and David Rockefeller was to profoundly change the course and direction on which the Founding Fathers had set this nation.
Laski taught as a Professor of Political Science at the London School of Economics and was chairman of the British Labor Party when Aneuran Bevan was Prime Minister. Laski was like George Bernard Shaw; he would not hesitate to walk up and introduce himself to anyone he wanted to meet. He cultivated friendship with the most important people in the furtherance of Socialist causes. His personality was described by close associate Richard Crossman as, "warm and gregarious, a man who made it to the top on his own, a public intellectual." It is said of Laski that he was generous and kind and that people liked to be with him, all the while the indefatigable Socialist crusader.
A notable milestone of progress for Fabian Socialism came in the 1940s with the Beveridge Report on a series of essays simply entitled, "Social Security." The year 1942 was chosen precisely for psychological reasons. Britain was facing its darkest days of WWII. Now was the time for Socialism to offer hope. Laski offered the scheme to John G. Winant, United States ambassador to the Court of St. James. Mrs Eugene Meyer of the Washington Post described the attention of Roosevelt. In Britain, Fabian Society notables like Lord Pakenham made hundreds of high-profile speeches in favor of the miracle of abolishing want and deprivation. The British public was ecstatic.
But five years later found the British government "borrowing" heavily from the United States to make social security work. John Strachey, so idolized by the Fabian Socialists, discovered that no matter how much he regulated the amount of social security, increasing it when needed, it was still not enough to generate purchasing power, so Strachey, the No. 1 Marxist and Minister of Food Supply, had to ration supplies. The Socialists had almost bankrupted the country, in one year, 1947, spending $2.75 billion on their Socialist programs, the money "borrowed" from the United States! The "loans" were the work of Laski, and Harry Dexter White of the United States Treasury, and a Soviet informant.
It is truly amazing that the American people stood silent in the face of the kind of financing of Socialist pipe dreams that they were expected to carry. The only reason which comes to mind as to why the American people did not protest is, quite simply, that the truth was hidden from them. The Federal Reserve "lent" Britain $3 billion dollars in the 1920s so that the "dole" (welfare) system could continue, while at home, war veteran's pensions were cut by $4,000,000 a year as a partial contribution. Could such a thing ever happen again? Informed opinion is that not only can it happen again, but that the reaction from the American people would be the same; for the most part, one of total indifference.
But even with the unstinting, albeit unofficial help of Harry Dexter White, Socialism could not on its own fund its grandiose schemes and when the Congress finally discovered the full extent of White's financial help for Socialist Britain, Sir Stafford Cripps had to come right out with it and tell the British people that henceforth, social security would have to be funded through taxing their incomes. In the period 1947-1949, taxes mounted, food became scarce, incomes dwindled, and although one Fabian brain trust after another worked tirelessly to come up with a solution that would make Socialism work — other than borrowing money from the United States — they always came back to the same thing: deficit spending or scrap Fabian Socialist programs as unworkable.
Britain was reduced from a profitable Tenderer of goods and services and brokerage agents for other nations, to a beggar nation. In short, Socialist programs were responsible for the destruction of its centuries old, thriving economy. Britain began to resemble a banana republic. Grabbing at straws, the Labour Party (its leadership Fabian Socialists almost to a man) thought it could make things work by more nationalizing and more rationing, but the electorate did not give the Fabian Society the chance, turning Labour out of office in general elections in 1950.
The Fabian Society's legacy? An empty treasury, gold reserves gone, production down to an all time low, it sought to distance itself from the discredited Labor Party on the grounds that "the Fabian Society is not a political party." Speaking in the House of Commons, a notable Socialist, Albert Edwards said:
"I have spent years discoursing on the defects of the capitalist system. I do not withdraw those criticisms. But we have seen the two systems side by side. And the man who would still argue for Socialism as the means of ridding our country of the defects of capitalism is blind indeed. Socialism just does not work."
Yet, in spite of the total and abject failure of Socialism in practice as opposed to theory, there were still those in the United States who were determined to thrust failed Socialist policies down the throats of the American people. Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Bush and Carter seemed determined to ignore the Great Socialist Debacle on the other side of the Atlantic, and, urged on by their Socialist advisors, plunged ahead with American versions of the same old failed Fabian Socialist theories and policies.
Still tied to Britain through a common language and a common heritage, the Socialists were able to enmesh the United States in their dream of a One World Government through the so-called Atlantic Alliance or Atlantic Union. Ignoring the wisdom of President George Washington's Farewell Address, successive American governments went ahead with what was essentially a Fabian Socialist scheme for a world government in which Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) played no small part. Also much to the fore in this strictly Socialist enterprise was the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RUA) headquartered at Chatham House, St. James Square, London, the "mother" of the American Council of Foreign Relations (CFR).
The "Socialist Hands Across The Sea" drive was bolstered by the presence of Owen Lattimore, at Leeds University. Lattimore, a Johns Hopkins professor, is best remembered for his treasonous conduct while in charge of the Institute for Pacific Relations (IPR), which is blamed for the instigation of United States trade policies toward Japan. That spurred the attack on Pearl Harbor and got the United States into WWII, at a time when the German Army had thoroughly trounced the so-called "allies" who were staring defeat in the face in Europe.
The rise of Harold Wilson as the future prime minister of England could be laid at the door of the Kennedy administration, which having dispatched Harold MacMillan "with one Skybolt" as one commentator put it, the Kennedy administration exuded kindness and know how toward the "Oxford Socialist in grey flannels," as Wilson was described. Wilson went to America to find a way of sloganeering himself into office, and he found it among the Madison Avenue advertising agents. Strange, that Socialism had to turn to capitalism to find out how things are done!
Yet, no sooner was Wilson installed as prime minister than he told the House of Commons that his policies would be socialism as usual: nationalizing of industries, "social justice" and of course tax REFORM, a bigger bite out of the incomes of corporations, payroll levies and the whole Socialist nine yards. An excited Wilson told his Fabian Socialist colleagues that they could be sure of success, because "we have an American government in sympathy."
What Wilson really meant was that the American government appeared more willing than ever to pay the bills for extravagant Socialist spending by his Labour government. Again, we emphasize in contribute toward "world socialism."
Prime Minister Wilson, making good use of his American connections, borrowed four billion dollars from the International Monetary Fund, (the largest funder of which was, and remains, the United States.) Once again it was demonstrated that Socialist programs could not support their own weight, and like the dinosaur, would collapse if not propped up. The IMF was established by Lord Keynes, who described it as "essentially a Socialist conception."
But some voices were being raised in the United States against the alarming Socialist penetration of government that had begun with Wilson, accelerated with Roosevelt, and grown larger and bolder and more outspoken in the Kennedy administration. One of those was Senator Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin. A true patriot, McCarthy was determined to root out the Socialists and Communist agents of change with which the United States State Department had become infested, a battle that McCarthy began in 1948 with the Truman administration, and continued with the Eisenhower administration.
The Fabian Society became thoroughly alarmed. How was it to defend its penetration of the United States government and its institutions against public exposure? For help, Fabians turned to Americans for Democratic Action, who set about mounting a massive campaign of vilification against the senator from Wisconsin. Without this force to reckon with, there is no doubt that McCarthy would have achieved his goal of exposing just how far the American government and its institutions had been taken over by Fabian Socialism, which McCarthy mistakenly identified as "Communism."
The ADA spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in efforts to curb McCarthy, even going so far as to distribute thousands of copies of the Senator's personal finances, in violation of Senate rules, which were disclosed to the Senate Subcommittee. The Socialist publication "New Statesman" suddenly became concerned with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights — suggesting that the McCarthy hearings were imperiling these "sacred rights." The ADA — sponsored resolution condemning McCarthy was proof positive that then, as now, the Democrat Party was in the hands of international Socialists of the Fabian Society variety. ADA was not at all shy about claiming credit for having "stopped McCarthy."
With the downfall of Senator McCarthy, the Fabian Society breathed a collective sigh of relief: this was about as close to exposure it had come. The one man who could have foiled the ADA attack failed to show up at the Senate hearing. Senator John F. Kennedy, a professed admirer of the senator from Wisconsin was reputedly confined to a hospital bed when the vote came up. It has not been explained why he failed to pair his vote. Kennedy actually owed his rise to power to McCarthy, who refused to campaign for Henry Cabot Lodge, when Lodge was running against Kennedy in Massachusetts.
That fact, not well known, bodes ill for the independence of the United States and the Republic for which its stands. In the future, unless Socialism is radically checked, and then uprooted, the Pledge of Allegiance might well go something like this:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of United States and to the Socialist Government for which its stands..."
Let us not think this far-fetched. We should recall the small band of unimportant young men who started their movement in London, a movement that spread its dangerous poison across the entire world, were also considered "farfetched" in their day. The Fabian Society was now reinvigorated. With the McCarthy threat disposed of, and a new, young, president in the White House, one educated by Harold Laski at the London School of Economics and influenced by John Kenneth Galbraith, the Socialists looked set fair to make a quantum leap into the very sinew and muscle of the United States Government. After all, wasn't Kennedy's "New Frontier" actually a book written by the great Socialist Henry Wallace?
Wallace had not flinched in putting Socialism's goals firmly in view:
"Socially disciplined men will work cooperatively to increase the wealth of the human race and apply their inventive skills to changing society itself. They will modify (reform) governmental and political machinery as well as the monetary and price system, to achieve far wider possibility of social justice and social charity (welfare) in the world...men may rightfully feel that they are serving a function as high as any minister of the Gospel. They will not be Communists, Socialists or Fascist, but plain men trying to gain by democratic methods the professed objectives of Communists, Socialists or Fascists..."
That the Kennedy administration originally embarked on a program that looked even more radical than that of the Roosevelt era, is not disputed. Even the fact that the ADA selected his cabinet and advisers almost to a man is well known. In Britain, the Fabian Socialists wore broad smiles: their time, it seemed had arrived. But their happiness began to be tempered with reservation as news from the United States had it that Kennedy was not living up to their Socialist expectations.
The ADA's mouthpiece, "New Republic" said in an editorial published June 1, 1963: "In general the Kennedy performance is less impressive than the Kennedy style." Laski's vision of "a new Jerusalem" in the English-speaking world and the building of a new, Socialist society, seemed to have been put on hold — at least for a while. Laski had known how to manage Labour Party leaders Attlee, Dalton, McDonald, the Kennedy brothers, the question was, would his successors be able to handle the "American side" as well as he had done?
The rise of Fabianism in the United States could be traced back to the Fellowship of New Life and later, to the Boston Bellamy Club, which came into being after the visit of Sydney Webb and R.R. Pease, historian of the Fabian Society — one of the original four Fabians, to visit the United States in 1883. The Bellamy Club was brought into being by General Arthur F. Devereux and Captain Charles E. Bowers, backed by newspapermen Cyrus Field, Willard and Frances E. Willard. The club did not have its intention the advance of Socialism. Devereux's main concern was the huge influx of untrained immigrants into the United States, which he said, was not ready to receive them.
General Devereux felt that the situation should be nipped in the bud before it got completely out of hand. (He could not have foreseen the horrendous, deliberately contrived immigration situation that developed in the United States in 1990—thanks to Socialist policies.) As Devereux and his friends were getting ready to found the Boston Bellamy Club, Webb arrived from England in September of 1888 and was put in touch with the club's founders. Sensing an opportunity, Webb and Pease were able to include in the club's principles the nationalization of private industry, with the name to be changed to the Boston Nationalist Club. The opening meeting was attended by Webb and Edward Bellamy. On December 15, 1888, the seed of Fabian Socialism in the United States that was to sprout and grow into a huge tree, was planted.
Advancing into the arts, in 1910, Shaw's plays were being put on by the Theater Guild in New York City by Professor Kenneth MacGowan of the Harvard Socialist Club, using methods learned from the Moscow Arts Theater. The League of Industrial Democracy, Americans for Democratic Action was still far in the future, but the foundations for their organizations had already been laid.
Shaw and H.G. Wells were puffed by literary agents all over America, particularly in college towns, and socialist magazines, "The New Republic" and "The Nation" and "The Socialism Of Our Times," edited by Norman Thomas and Henry Laidler, were taking off.
A frequent contributor to the "New Republic," Laski taught at Harvard all through WWI. His unkind critics say thus he was to avoid any possibility of having to serve in some capacity or another in the British war effort. It was from the "New Republic" that Woodrow Wilson received support, not only for getting the United States into that conflagration, but right throughout its disastrous course. If ever there was a "Socialist War," this was it. "New Republic" did not have the same concerns for the terrible slaughter going on in Russia under the guise of Bolshevism Russia.
Laski was an enthusiastic admirer of Felix Frankfurter and some of his letters in praise of Frankfurter revealed the extent of the penetration of Fabian Socialism into the United States justice system. While on one of his many visits in the United States, Laski urged the ADA and other American Socialists to take active measures in getting higher taxation laws passed: newer, higher taxes on unearned high incomes was the way to get taxation equitably distributed, Laski said. He also kept in constant touch with his friend Judge Felix Frankfurter, urging him to press for "reforms" of the United States Constitution, particularly the constitutional separation of powers between the executive, legislative and judicial branches.
Laski was constantly at the side of Frankfurter and constantly attacking the United States Constitution, derisively referring to it as, "Capitalism's strongest safeguard, a class document." Laski called Roosevelt, "the sole bulwark against the Fascist form of Capitalism." That Laski was not charged with sedition for trying to overthrow the United States Constitution was a big mistake. A frequent visitor to the Roosevelt White House, he was also very secretive about it, such visits never mentioned in the press.
Meetings were always arranged through Felix Frankfurter. During one visit, Laski is alleged by his biographer to have told Roosevelt, "Either Capitalism or Democracy must prevail" and urged the president to "save democracy." By "democracy" Laski obviously meant SOCIALISM, the Socialists having long ago adopted "democracy" as the standard bearer of Socialism. During WWII, Laski frequently urged Roosevelt to make the world safe by laying a foundation for postwar Socialism. The Socialist education Roosevelt received from Laski is said to have almost equaled that received by John F. Kennedy while Laski's pupil at the London School of Economics.
There were some who were aware of what was going on. Congressman Tinkham introduced into the Congressional Record, House, January 14, 1941, a letter written by Amos Pinchot. The Pinchot letter stated: "Many young Socialists declare that what is generally called the Roosevelt Program is in reality the Laski program, imposed on New Deal thinkers and finally on the President, by the London Professor of Economics and his friends." The only thing wrong with that bold statement is that Laski was a professor of political science, not economics. Otherwise, the observation was right on target!
Laski carried on lengthy correspondence with Frankfurter, urging him to be vigilant and push the "political psychology" of Fabian Socialism. There can be no doubt whatsoever that Laski's advice to Frankfurter served as the basis for sweeping changes made by the Supreme Court, changes that completely altered the course and the character of the United States. If ever it could be said that the "New Deal" had a father, that father was not Roosevelt, but the Fabian Society's Professor Harold Laski.
Even to this day, so few Americans are aware of the vast influence Fabian Society Professor Laski had on Roosevelt. Six months after Pearl Harbor got the United States into WWII as planned, Eleanor Roosevelt invited Laski to be the keynote speaker at the International Students Congress that was set to take place in September of 1942, the one that Churchill refused to let Laski attend.
Congressman Woodruff of Michigan put it very succinctly, when he denounced Laski as having "a key to the back door of the White House." Had patriots been able to access the private letters between Laski, Frankfurter and Roosevelt, they might have aroused enough righteous indignation to get Laski expelled from the country, a fate he richly deserved.
Graham Wallas was another leading Socialist whose influence over Frankfurter and Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes is said to have turned American jurisprudence upside down. It is said that through William Wisemen, head of MI6 North American Desk, Laski got Frankfurter appointed to one of the very first purely Socialist-oriented panels: The Mediation Commission On Industrial Unrest.
In Britain, Fabianism penetrated every comer, every nook and cranny of the civil and military scene. No facet of society was immune to its penetration, which is the path it was to follow in its invasion of the United States. Truly, Socialism is a more deadly enemy than was ever faced by George Washington and his troops during the American War of Independence. This ongoing war never ceases, day or night, the battle for the hearts, minds, and the souls of the American nation goes forward.
One of the bulwarks against Socialism penetration is the Christian religion. Clemment Atlee, a leading Fabianist who went on to become prime minister of England put the successes of the Fabian Socialists down to its penetration of labor. But Irish Catholic labor was never penetrated by Webb, Shaw, or any of the other leading lights of the Fabian Society. There is much hope in this for us today as we seek to find ways of halting Socialism's relentless march across the North American continent, a march that will end in the camps of Communist slavery, for indeed, Socialism is the road to slavery.
The slippery, slimy, treasonous methods adopted to spread Socialism is no place better demonstrated that in the prominent Socialists who were never recognized as such. These leading lights appeared in positions of great power, while never openly admitting their Socialist aspirations. A few names will help to illustrate the point: In Britain:
The Rt. Hon L. S. Amery. Lectured at Livingston Hall, an important education center.
Professor A.D. Lindsay, lecturer at Kingston Hall, an important education center.
Annie Besant, leader of the Theosophist movement,
Oswald Mosley, M.P., and Fascist leader in England.
Malcolm Muggeridge, author, scholar, lecturer.
Bertrand Russell, elder statesmen, the Committee of 300, Kingsway Hall lecturer.
Wickham Steed, perhaps one of the most famous of all British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) commentators whose opinions influenced millions of the BBC's listeners.
Arnold Toynbee, Kingsway Hall lecturer.
J.B. Priestly, author.
Rebecca West, Kingsway Hall lecturer.
Anthony Wedgewood Benn, Kingsway Hall lecturer.
Sydney Silverman, lecturer and parliamentarian.
On the American side, the following personalities kept their Socialist beliefs well hidden:
Archibald Cox, Watergate special prosecutor.
Arthur Goldberg, Secretary of Labor, United Nations Rep. etc.
Henry Steel Commager, writer and publisher.
John Gunther, writer, reporter for LIFE magazine.
George F. Kennan, specialist on Bolshevik Russia.
Joseph and Stewart Alsop, writers, newspaper columnist opinion-makers.
Dr. Margaret Meade, anthropologist, author.
Martin Luther King, Southern Christian Leadership Conference civil rights leader.
Averill Harriman, Industrialist, roving representative, prominent Democrat.
Birch Bayh, United States Senator.
Henry Fowler, under Secretary, United States Treasury.
G. Mennen Williams, industrialist, Department of State.
Adlai Stevens, Politician.
Paul Volcker, Federal Reserve Board.
Chester Bowles.
Harry S. Truman, President of the United States.
Lowell Weicker, United States Senator.
Hubert Humphrey, United States Senator.
Walter Mondale, United States Senator.
Bill Clinton, President, United States.
William Sloane Coffin, Church leader.
There are hundreds more names, some prominent, others not so prominent, but the foregoing are enough to make the point. The careers of these people fit very neatly the type of enemy described by President Andrew Jackson.
One person who contributed a great deal to the spread of Socialism in Britain and the United States was the famous Malcolm Muggeridge. The son of H.T. Muggeridge, Malcolm enjoyed a distinguished career writing for "Punch," with good connections in Moscow. The fact that he was a nephew of the great lady, Beatrice Webb, did not hurt. Muggeridge wrote for the "New Statesman" and the "Fabian News" and was much sought-after as a speaker at the Society's weekend schools. Malcolm Muggeridge became one of the main draw-cards for Socialism in the United States, and was often featured very prominently on television interviews.
