In
1953 Norman Dodd accepted as Research Director for the House
of Representatives Special Committee to Investigate Tax-exempt
Foundations and Comparable Organizations. The purpose of the
committee, spelled out in the House resolution creating it,
was to "determine which such foundations comparable and
organizations are using their resources for un-American and
subversive activities."
The
panel, chaired by Representative Carroll Reese [R-Tenn.],
decided at the outset to focus on the 12 largest foundations
[Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller, and others] because they
accounted for 70% of all foundation assets.
One
of the committee's first moves was to send a formal inquiry to
the groups to be investigated. Upon receiving his copy of the
inquiry, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace [CEIP]
president Joseph E. Johnson contacted Dodd by telephone and
suggested that, instead of his answering all the questions, he
would cooperate in having the committee send a staff member to
foundation headquarters to examine CEIP minute books. Dodd
accepted the offer at once and assigned the task to attorney
Kathryn Casey, instructing her to focus on the decade
1910-1919. Returning from her assignment shocked and dazed,
she reported to Dodd and he summarized her findings as
follows:
In
the minutes of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
about 1911] the trusties raised a question. "Is there any
means known to man more effective than war, assuming you wish
to alter the life of an entire people?" At the end of the
year, they came to the conclusion that there was no more
effective means to that end known to man. So, they then raised
question Number 2, " How do we involve the
United States
in a war? [see Hearings, U.S. Congress, House of
Representatives, Special Committee to investigate Tax-exempt
Foundations and Comparable Organizations, 83rd Congress,
second session, 1954; William H. Mechany 11--The Tax Exempt
Foundations [Westport, CT; Arlington House,1980]; The Hidden
Agenda, A video presentation containing Norman Dodd's in
person account [Westlake Village, CA.; American Media,1991];
and Rene A, Wormser, Foundations [New York, Devin- Adair Co.
1958].
The
Reece Committee's work was abruptly terminated in 1954. But
Dodd had gathered enough data to conclude the leaders of
numerous large foundations had been using resources at their
disposal to destroy the independence of the
United States
and create a world government ruled by themselves and like
minded individuals.
Several
reasons why these men wanted to "alter the life" of
the people in the
United States
come to mind. They sought to change the American people's
desire to stay out of the affairs of other nations; they
wanted to compromise, even destroy, our nations independence;
and their ultimate goal was to control all mankind through a
world government they would establish. There was nothing
patriotic in all this; the motive was solely and entirely a
grandiose and sinister grab for power.
Kathryn
Casey's work bared additional plans of the foundation's
trustees. They pointed to Miss Casey's further discovery that
the trustee's met in 1917 " and had the brashness to
congratulate themselves on the wisdom of their original
decision because already the impact of war had indicated it
would alter life ...in this country." The trustees were
so committed to having war change America that they even had
the audacity, said Dodd, "to dispatch a telegram to Mr.
Wilson cautioning him to see that the war did not end to
quickly.
According
to Dodd, Miss Casey also came upon information showing that
these same trustees later secured financial help from the
Rockefeller, Guggenheim, and other foundations for two
additional purposes: to gain influence over the State
Department and to gain control over American education as a
way of insuring that " there would be no reversion to
life in this country as it existed' prior to world war one.
Taken
from "Changing Commands" The Betrayal of
America
's Military by John F. McManus.
And
so came about the beginning of the dumbing down of American
children and the government schools and the use of war
"to alter the life of the American people.
