It's been 105 years since a clandestine plot was hatched to purloin America's capitalist system and replace it with socialism. Most of us were unaware of what was taking place right under our naïve noses, but recent events have now made it clear. Here's how it happened:
Autumn of 1905 was chock-full of historic people and events. Teddy Roosevelt was president. His cousins Franklin and Eleanor were settling down as newlyweds in New York. Novelist Upton Sinclair had recently published his infamous novel The Jungle in serial form.
A young baseball player named Ty Cobb was enjoying his rookie year, and inventor Orville Wright was recovering from a recent airplane crash. The science community was atwitter with talk of new physics theories just published by a 26-year old nobody named Einstein.
The U.S. population was around 83 million people. Fifteen million of them had a bathtub; six million had a telephone, and fifty of them were about to embark on a plan to replace American capitalism with Marxist socialism.
On September 12, 1905, a group of community organizers assembled in the loft of Peck's restaurant in New York City. Among those in attendance were Upton Sinclair, Jack London, John Dewey, Clarence Darrow, Mary "Mother" Jones, and Walter Lippman.
They named their group the Intercollegiate Socialist Society (I.S.S.). Governing and membership rules were established. Officers were chosen and goals were identified:
1. Promote an intelligent interest in Socialism among college men and women [1]; 2. Familiarize students with the inherent evils of American economic and social system based on laissez-faire policies [2]; 3. Promote the establishment of a socialist order [2].
The I.S.S. determined to achieve its goals in three ways: organize I.S.S. chapters on college campuses; graduate socialist adherents into society; and permeate labor unions, schools, and government with their followers.
Initial efforts met with resistance, as socialism was despised in America at this time. But with persistence and occasional obfuscation, I.S.S. chapters were soon formed at Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton, and by 1917, there were 61 college campus chapters and twelve alumni groups.
At about the same time the Intercollegiate Socialist Society was organized, the Rand School of Social Science opened for business in New York City. The school was funded primarily by the British Fabians. Various Intercollegiate Socialist Society officers were also on the board of the Rand School, whose purpose aligned with that of the I.S.S.:
The school had a very definite object -- that of providing an auxiliary or specialized agency to serve the Socialist and Trade Union Movement of the United States in an educational capacity ... to offer training along the lines calculated to make them more efficient workers for the Cause. [3]
As they were expanding their reach through college campuses and the Rand School, I.S.S. members were also busy building other organizations to advance their cause. The Industrial Workers of the World, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the American Civil Liberties Union, the New Republic magazine, and multiple teachers' unions were all founded by Society members. And in 1919, this tireless group launched yet another weapon against our economic system: The New School for Social Research.

40 to 50% want it for free. I don’t know what they will say when they are told that we can’t afford it.

“Well, what is your costume today?
And who are the props in your play?
You’re acting a part which you thought from the start
was an honest one.
Well how do you plead?
An actor indeed!
Go read up your lines!
You don’t know what you’ve done!
Nothing honest’s begun!”
This article is absolutely astounding in itself but one link it contains opens the whole entire can of scorpians (worms is not nearly a strong enough comparison). It is the link for L.I.D. It leads to a book, Keynes at Harvard, written in 1969, by Zygmund Dobbs. It traces the whole growth of the infiltration of Fabianism and hence socialism/marxism into the US universities and from there the government, media and culture from the late 1800s through to his present. If you read this book you will understand completely how we got to where we are now. One of the comments on the AT article gives further history that ties in SDS and hence 0’s buddies. I was reading parts of the book to my husband and he thought it was something that had just come out in the last year or so. This book gives you all the names. John Dewey is only one of a very long list of people and highly influential schools and organizations. It has completely transformed my whole understanding of the last century.
For one thing,it made me curious about was how Pierre Trudeau was related to this whole thing because he has had a profound effect on Canada since he was elected Prime Minister. Well sure enough, I researched him and discovered that he had been a student at the London School of Economics and “adored” the Fabian socialist ideas of Harold Laski. Trudeau was responsible for greatly increasing the Canadian national debt based on the ideas he learned from these guys.
The addendum, written in 1971, reveals how these guys’ personally depraved, atheistic, communist ideas were introduced into American culture which has led in a significant way to the moral decay we experience in our modern culture. It was really disgusting!!
I was somewhat shocked when I discovered that a Beatrice Potter was an original founder of the Fabian Society but then discovered that it was not the author of Peter Rabbit. However having done some more research, I discovered that the author, Beatrix Potter, had been a speaker at the London School of Economics in her later life so I sadly suspect that she was infected with this corruption too.
This article and this book by Dobbs needs to get to guys like Rush, Levin, Hannity and Beck but I have no idea how to get it to them so that they will personally receive it.
Sorry if this posts double but I had forgotten to include the link at the bottom.

Not sure if this is really his account or not. Won’t hurt.
I’ve had good luck getting information to Glenn Beck via his email link on his page.
Puts it all into a nice nutshell.
“Left-wingers quickly saw the Socialist intent behind the confusing maze of Keynes’ system. They realize that the entire Keynesian apparatus is based upon the principle of control and regulation by government. “
http://www.keynesatharvard.org/book/KeynesatHarvard-ch05.html
One more quote from your link
“Left-wing top leaders of all types have privately known that “freedom” must be curbed in order to have socialism. Professor Wright shows that any socialistic order requires that men who do things “both technologically and socially” must be “forced into line” or quietly eliminated. This question has been carefully kept out of print in agitational and propaganda literature not only to fool the public but also to mislead the rank and file radical membership. In the subsequent chapter we will show where some “mild socialists” not only intend that progressive thinkers be “eliminated quietly” but also plan to use methods that are not so quiet, i.e. “firing squads.”
Bump.
Don’t forget the other aspect of socialism supporters -
covetousness and jealousy.
Many don’t want what others have, they just don’t want others to have it.
Two Arabs are walking in the desert, and come across a lamp half buried in the ground. One picks it up and rubs it and a genie appears and says he’ll grant one wish. The man says he wants a goat, and, bing, there’s the goat. The other man asks for the lamp, rubs it, genie appears, says he’ll grant one wish.
“I want you to kill his goat.”
Thank you so much for the contact on Sean Hannity. I’ll check out Beck and see if I can get anything through to him. I’ll do it next week though when he’s back from vacation. It would be great if any of his researchers could actually pick up the article from FR or from American Thinker and actually follow all the links.
Another significant troublemaker in those days was Scott Nearing, who lived to be 100 and died a suicide (by deliberate fasting). Not to speak ill of the dead, I can say nothing more.
Bump to learn more.
