Thanks for the link. From a listed reference, KEYNES AT HARVARD, Economic Deception as a Political Credo, the chapter on American Fabianism is really enlightening:

"In the Socialist Review [snip], the following political position was published for all members to note:

Menaced by foreign miltary forces, the work of social and economic regeneration is now endangered.The Russian revolution is the heritage of the world.It must not be defeated by foreign militarism. It must be permitted to develop unhampered. It must live, so that Russia may be truly free and, through its freedom, blaze the way for industrial democracy throughout the world.(1919)(10)

Walter Lippmann and Felix Frankfurter managed to attach themselves as special assistants to the Secretary of War in 1917. While there, Lippmann and Frankfurter became closely associated with the then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt.(11) F.D.R. later rewarded this friendship by appointing Frankfurter to the Supreme Court and American Fabians capitalized on this connection by grabbing hundreds of jobs in key Government positions.

The other Zygmond Dobbs study for the Veritas Foundation, The Great Deceit, goes into Frankfurter's role, behind the scenes, in organizing the ACLU. Had the man had any honor, he would have recused himself from the Supreme Court case that forbade prayer in school, rather than write the opinion.

Of course, the very essence of the Fabian approach is deception.
