Tax-Exempt FOUNDATIONS

In
my last
article, I described the power elite’s use of crises to achieve
their goals. For the ten-year period before the Clinton presidency,
surveys showed “a stable 84-88 percent of respondents expressing
satisfaction with the quality of care received from doctors” (PUBLIC
PERSPECTIVE, May/June 1993). However, once Bill Clinton’s presidency
began, suddenly there was talk of a health-care crisis, and Hillary
Clinton formed a health-care task force to look at the problem.

Interestingly, about half of the
task force members were connected to the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation (RWJF). This foundation has sought to direct everything
from mental
health services for youth to death and dying in America. At
this article,
you can see a timeline regarding RWJF projects (and George Soros’s
Project on Death in America) relevant to death and dying.

As I’ve written before, the
power elite wants a World Socialist Government, and many of the
health-care proposals over the past decade would move us closer and
closer to socialized medicine. According to a Harvard School of Public
Health (HSPH) February 14, 2008 press release, a survey showed 70
percent of Democrats believe we would be better off with socialized
medicine. And the HSPH reported that “socialized medicine is not the
scary bogeyman that it used to be.” In addition to the RWJF, other major
foundations have played important roles in shaping our future. In Rene
Wormser’s FOUNDATIONS: THEIR POWER AND INFLUENCE (1958), there is a
section titled “Foundation-Promoted ‘Globalism’,” in which he refers to
the Carnegie Endowment, Rockefeller Foundation, Rhodes Scholarship
Trust, and Ford Foundation.

More recently (May 1, 2007), Phil
Kent’s FOUNDATIONS OF THE TRAIL: HOW THE LIBERAL SUPER-RICH UNDERMINE
AMERICA was published and describes how Rockefeller, Carnegie and other
foundations act as an invisible government moving us toward a world
government. And globalist foundation activities do not stop at national
borders, as powerful European foundations are currently promoting the
Yukon to Yellowstone wildlife corridor involving growth-management
projects that will mean rules and regulations regarding how people can
and cannot use their own property.

In past columns I’ve written about
Rhodes, Rockefeller and Carnegie, but this article will take a close
look at the Ford Foundation, which was founded in 1936. In that
same year, Dyke Brown, who would become the Foundation’s first
vice-president, became a Rhodes Scholar (named for Cecil Rhodes who
formed a secret society ‘to take the government of the whole world”).
Brown would help to write “The Gaither Report,” named for Ford
Foundation president H. Rowan Gaither, who in 1953 told Norman Dodd
(staff director of the Congressional Special Committee to Investigate
Tax-Exempt Foundations) that at the executive level of the
Foundation they were operating under directives from the White House
“the substance (of which) was to the effect that we should make every
effort to so alter life in the United States as to make possible a
comfortable merger with the Soviet Union.” Another Rhodes Scholar, Don
Price (who would author AMERICA’S UNWRITTEN CONSTITUTION), would
be Foundation vice-president from 1954-1958. Price would then be, from
1961-1971, a trustee of the Rand Corporation, which had H. Rowan Gaither
as its chairman from 1948 until 1961 when Gaither died.

During this same period, from
1951-1954, Robert Hutchins was associate director of the Ford
Foundation, as it gave 15 million dollars to set up the leftist Fund for
the Republic (Hutchins would be chief executive of the Fund from
1954-1974 and its
president from 1975-1977). Two years before 1951, Hutchins, along with
G. A. Borgese and Walter T. Paepcke, founded the
Aspen
Institute for Humanist Studies (which has received major
funding from the Ford Foundation) in 1949. Then, in 1951, the Ford Foundation
created the leftist Fund for the Advancement of Education, which
assisted Mortimer Adler (who was taught philosophy at
Columbia University by John Dewey, and who
had supported the concept of a World Socialist Government). In
June 1952, Adler announced plans to found the leftist Institute for
Philosophical Research, which has received grants from the Ford
Foundation. And in 1953, Hutchins (who as president of the
University of Chicago had brought Adler there) authored CONFLICT IN
EDUCATION IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY, in which he stated, “I am in favor of
world government.”

That Hutchins supported world
government had already been apparent from the University of Chicago
Press’s 1948 publication of PRELIMINARY DRAFT OF A WORLD CONSTITUTION
while Hutchins was chancellor of the University. It was produced by
Hutchins, Mortimer Adler, Rexford Tugwell, and others, and advocated
regional federation on the way toward the world federation of
government. One commentator said the draft “does not contain a single
paragraph that would run counter to socialism.” The “constitution’s”
preamble contained the words

“the governments of the nations have
decided to order their separate sovereignties in one government of
justice to which they surrender their arms; and to establish, as they do
establish, this constitution as the covenant and fundamental law of the
Federal Republic of the World.”

The “constitution” itself also provided
the world government with sweeping powers such as “the appropriation,
under the right of eminent domain, of such private or public property
as may be necessary for federal use.”

The same year as Ford Foundation’s
president Gaither’s statement (quoted above) was made to Norman Dodd
(1953), the Foundation established the Center for the Advanced Study in
the Behavioral Sciences (which would receive 6 million dollars from the
Foundation in 1969) with Dr. Ralph Tyler as its first director (Tyler
has said “the real purpose of education is… to bring about significant
changes in the student’s pattern or behavior,” and he served as the
Center’s director until 1967, and was also chairman of the Carnegie
Corporation’s Committee on Assessing the Progress of Education, which
would become the National Assessment of Educational Progress, NAEP).

Also in 1953,
 John J. McCloy
(Council on Foreign Relations Chairman
1953-1970) would become chairman of the Ford Foundation until 1965, and
in 1956 said, “In my view we must be ready to consider the most
far-reaching proposals, including those for total disarmament,
universal, enforceable and complete with international inspection.”

In January of 1957, Dennis Healey
(who would be Britain’s Labor Minister of Defense 1964-1970) and others
decided to set up a strategic think-tank. Healey had met Shepherd Stone,
head of the social and political part of the Ford Foundation at a
meeting of the Bilderberg group in Fiuggi, Italy, and Stone was
interested in the idea. By the end of 1958, the think-tank, the
Institute for Strategic Studies, had begun its work with the
Ford Foundation contributing $150,000 over three years.

By 1958, the Ford
Foundation had also initiated grants in its programs in the
behavioral sciences and
mental health totaling over $21 million. The next year, the
Foundation encouraged Mrs. J. Dickerman Hollister to found the
syncretistic
Temple of Understanding (the original idea for the temple
was Mrs. Hollister’s, but the name for the temple was suggested by Mrs.
Ellsworth Bunker, wife of the American ambassador to India). In 1960,
the Temple was founded with partial funding by the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace.

The next year (1961), Terrell Bell
(future U.S. Secretary of Education who would support a proposal that
would put
Outcome-based Education
in all schools) received his doctorate
as a Ford Foundation fellow. The Ford Foundation would also support the
Institute for Educational Leadership founded in 1964. That same year,
the Committee on Assessing the Progress of Education, mentioned earlier,
began its work and was funded by the Ford Foundation along with the
Carnegie Corporation (they both financed ECAPE, Exploratory Committee on
Assessing the Progress of Education, beginning in 1966). Also, in 1964,
SIECUS (Sex Information and Education Council of the U.S.), which has
supported the use of pornography, began to receive major funding from
the Ford Foundation (which would also fund Catholics for a Free Choice
and provide major funding for Planned Parenthood).

In 1965, the Center for the Study
of Democratic Institutions (CSDI) authored A CONSTITUTION FOR THE WORLD.
The “constitution” was published by the Fund for the Republic (set up by
the Ford Foundation), which had established the CSDI in 1959. And the
CSDI also published a “modern” constitution for the U.S. in 1970.
McGeorge Bundy (member of Skull & Bones, the CFR, and special assistant
for National Security Affairs to J.F.K and L.B.J., 1961-1966) became
president of the Ford Foundation in 1966 (remaining in that position
until 1979, and becoming Scholar-in-Residence at the Carnegie
Corporation in 1992). The next year (1967), Ford Foundation trustee
Kermit Gordon (Rhodes Scholar, C.F.R. member and Keynesian economist)
would become president of the Brookings Institution. For part two click
