Here's a good one from one of your faves, E Michael Jones:
"...in November of 1964...Rockefeller and Bernard Berelson traveled to Washington seeking an audience with Lyndon Baines Johnson. What they got was a meeting with Dean Rusk, secretary of state under John F.Kennedy, and the Rockefeller operative who had pulled the plug on Kinsey when Kinsey's sex surveys became a matter of public embarrassment in the wake of the Reece hearings. Through Rusk's ministrations, a sentence was inserted into Johnson's January 4, 1965, State of the Union message, in which the president announced to the world that he would "seek new ways to use our knowledge to help deal with the explosion in world population and the growing scarcity in world resources." Rockefeller's biographers see the statement as "a decisive turning point "in changing the public's aversion to contraception and paving the way for the government's involvement in disseminating at first information about contraception and then the contraceptives themselves. pg.433, Libido Dominandi
It's not exactly a killer quote, but public statements had to be more veiled in 1965 before Griswald vs. Connecticut and the sexual revelution generally. Wouldn't LBJ's statement be the first public expression of the elite's intentions?
Also, it seems to me that Rusk, McNamara, et al. would have been more than happy to implement the ideas uttered be JHW Bush, but weren't in power circa 1970 when it was possible to implement effective policies. Rusk et al. were perfectly willing and able, but the GOP won the election and beat them to it.
Am also in total agreement that real pro-life action will come about through groups like ALL, Priests for Life, and I might add, Michigan RTL led by Barbara Listing. Thousands of local groups will have to provide the impetus if there's to be real change. That, plus Divine intervention, and we'll have the pro-aborts licked!!
One more thing--you know Mike? I take Celtic dancing lessons with him and his wife Ruth down at St. Pat's in South Bend on Sundays. They're kind enough to invite me over for dinner when they have guests in from out of town. I provide the "local color." He's a good man.
The stumbling block to my posting more of him at the moment is a long overdue promise to post something he sent me about Medjugorje. I ran into vaporlock here at my own St. Pat's when I realized I was surrounded by believers. Long story. Anyway ...
I figured he was cool but it's neat to hear that confirmed. Like Joe Sobran, he's been gracious enough to write me back when I've had a question. I think the world of him.
My cousin used to take Celtic dancing ... I'm delighted he's keeping his heart rate in fighting trim! We need his like around as long as possible. Please give him best regards and all gratitude from a devoted reader.
... thanks for the lead, I'll add them to my resources.
