Some years ago I
researched an article that involved learning about a 19th
Century writer named Edward Bellamy. Bellamy’s science fiction
novel, Looking Backward was a futuristic projection
into the Year 2000.

The wealthy young hero
of the novel, Julian West, had trouble sleeping, so when
exhausted would retire to a specially constructed, sound proofed
vault under his Boston home. A hypnotist would then put him into
a deep sleep. When the hero had had enough rest his valet would
enter the vault and awaken him.

On a particular night
in 1887 the hypnotist left town immediately after inducing the
trance. During the night the house burned down taking the life
of the valet, and also—everyone understandably presumed—that of
Julian West.

The scene changes to
the Year 2000. Workers, while excavating for the foundation of a
private laboratory in the garden of Dr. Leete of Boston come
upon the 19th Century underground bed chamber and the body of a
young man looking as if he had just lain down to sleep. Dr.
Leete attempts resuscitation, and to his own astonishment the
efforts prove successful.

LIFE IN THE YEAR 2000

After recovering from
the shock of discovering that he has been asleep for more than
100 years, Julian West learns about the changes that have taken
place during his sleep. In the Year 2000 no one has personal
independence of any kind. Private capitalism has evolved
into public capitalism; and everybody is represented as
blissfully happy with universal equality and with being KEPT by
the SYSTEM. Everybody belongs to the SYSTEM and receives
maintenance from the SYSTEM. No one is separate. No one is
special. No one is richer or poorer than anyone else. There is a
universal distribution SYSTEM and everybody is delighted with
what he receives and the occupation he is assigned by the
SYSTEM. The only religion is the Religion of Solidarity
or Universal Brotherhood.

SUCCESS OF LOOKING BACKWARD

Millions of copies of
Looking Backward were sold in countries all over the
world. It was an inspirational document for communists,
socialists, corporate collectivists, revolutionaries,
Theosophists, and other people-pushers of all types. It was read
by Americans, Russians, Chinese, English, French, Africans,
South Americans, etc., etc., etc…Bellamy clubs sprang up all
over the world.

Some critics pointed
out, however, that Bellamy had used literary trickery. He had
put his hero to sleep in 1887, and then awakened him AFTER all
the changes had taken place. How were the changes accomplished?
How did the transition from the society of 1887 to the
controlled society of the Year 2000 come about?

SEQUEL – EQUALITY

In 1897 Bellamy’s
sequel, Equality, was published. It took up where
Looking Backward left off. It revealed through
conversations between the main characters and through their
visits to classrooms of the Year 2000 how the intellectual,
religious, moral, political, educational, and social changes
were brought about by sociologists, economists, and social
planners.

It is an unsettling
experience to read Equality today because it reads
almost like history, rather than fiction. Many of the devices
and techniques have actually been used to bring about the
changes. It is even possible to predict future manipulations
from the blueprint Bellamy drew in the year 1897 because it has
been followed so faithfully.

AN
INFLUENCE ON BELLAMY

In seeking to learn
more about Bellamy and the influences that helped to shape his
thoughts, I discovered that he had been profoundly affected by
the writings of a man named
Auguste Comte.
Having never heard of Comte, I went to my 1910 Werner
Encyclopædia (American edition of Britannica) , and had my
second unsettling experience.

Comte devoted his
entire life to blueprinting a philosophical SYSTEM which could
be used to sanction total control over all the people of the
world for all time—eliminating and/or destroying all contrary
philosophies and religions, particularly Christianity.

COMTE’S SYSTEM

First Comte arranged
all the sciences according to what he believed to be their
relative importance and stage of development. Above all the
sciences, and directing all human activities was to be Comte’s
new science, sociology or social science. Replacing and uniting
all religions was to be Comte’s new religion, the Religion of
Humanity, or, as his early teacher Saint Simon had termed it,
Humanitarianism. The Encyclopædia quoted Comte:

“In the name of the
Past and of the Future, the servants of Humanity—both its
philosophical and its practical servants—come forward to claim
as their due the general direction of this world. Their object
is to constitute at length a real Providence in all
departments– moral, intellectual, and material. Consequently
they exclude once for all from political supremacy all the
different servants of God—Catholic, Protestant, or Deist–as
being at once behindhand, and a cause of disturbance.”

I HAD
NEVER HEARD OF COMTE

I guess the thing that
shocked me the most after learning about Comte’s intentions was
that in spite of the fact that I had taken sociology both in
high school and in college; in spite of the fact that Comte,
more than anyone else deserved to be called the ‘father’ of
sociology; despite the fact that innumerable undesirable changes
had already been brought about in education, religion, and
government through the machinations of Comte’s sociology and
Religion of Humanity, I had not even heard of the man. His work
and his followers had had a greater effect on our lives than any
person I could think of in recent history, and I had NEVER HEARD
so much as HIS NAME!

HOW
WAS IT POSSIBLE?

How could I have lived
so long and gone through as much schooling as I had, and still
never have heard the name of the man who had perhaps had the
greatest destructive influence on government, education,
religion, and against world peace of any single person in the
past 200 years? It was mind boggling, to say the least. Where
had I been all my life? Where had anybody been? My friends,
acquaintances, and relatives had never mentioned Comte.

DID
COMTE HAVE FOLLOWERS?

I studied books
written by 19th and early 20th Century sociologists to see if
they were carrying on in the same spirit as Comte. They were!
Their lust for power over people and events was as great or
greater than that of Comte himself. They said such things as:

“It is indeed an
ambitious conception, this idea of blueprinting the outlines of
a truly worthful society for the future and then politicing
social evolution deliberately and intelligently toward that
goal. There are those who regard such an ambition as ludicrously
impossible. Yet this is the supreme aspiration of social
science.” — ROSS FINNEY

“If it were possible
to control the learning of all individuals, in the way both of
ideas and of emotional attitudes, as they come on to the stage
of life, it would be possible to modify the whole complex of our
social life, or our civilization, within the comparatively short
space of one or two generations.” — CHARLES A. ELLWOOD

“The school is the
germ plasm of the higher civilization. Teachers are, therefore,
in charge of social selection at the source of origins for each
new generation; they can even introduce at will mutatiions of
their own invention.” — ROSS L. FINNEY

“Oh, you blind leaders
who seek to convert the world by laboured disputations! Step out
of the way or the world must fling you aside. Give us the young.
Give us the young and we will create a new mind and a new earth
in a single generation.” — BENJAMIN KIDD

PEOPLE OUGHT TO KNOW

I wrote articles about
sociology and the Religion of Humanity and tried to sell them to
some of the leading conservative publications. I was sure they
would be interested—even grateful, to have one of the most
important sources of destructive teaching and legislation
pin-pointed and exposed. They were not! Article after article
came back with comments like, “We found your article
interesting, but it just does not fill our needs at this time.”

Well, I thought, they
just didn’t like my style of writing; but perhaps they will find
someone on their staff to do some research on the subject and
come up with a really GOOD article. That would be OK with me. At
least the information will get out and be available to parents,
teachers, ministers, and students. But it didn’t happen.

Then I began thinking
that perhaps there was just too much information for an article.
A book might be better. About that time we moved to Wauwatosa,
Wisconsin. Wauwatosa had a reputation for running an excellent
school system, and I wondered what they might be teaching in
sociology classes at that time. I went to the high school and
bought a copy of the sociology textbook. I didn’t expect it to
be wonderful., but neither did I expect it to be as awful as it
was. I was shocked at the misinformation, the efforts to lead
students to respond emotionally to political and social
situations that required cool, clear thinking. I was shocked at
the subtle suggestions and soft sell, which could lead
impressionable young people toward foolish and even immoral or
criminal behavior. I was shocked at the little digs against
parent and family life.

People had to be
warned. The danger had to be explained in a way they could
understand. I would have been more than happy if someone else
would make the effort, but it didn’t look like that was going to
be done.

The Hate Factory
was an attempt to explain to parents, preachers, teachers, and
students what is being done through sociology. The book begins
with a brief explanation of the history, goals, and methods of
sociology. Then there is an explanation of how sociology is used
in the schools of today to change the behavior of students, and
even alienate them from their parents. Finally there is a plea
to parents to inform, stand behind, and stand up for their
children in what could be the most important battle of their
lives—the battle for their own minds and wills against the
heaviest artillery that has ever been assembled for their
destruction. The defenders of Truth and freedom need ammunition.
That is why I wrote The Hate Factory.
