LibertyArchives3's video: Charlotte Iserbyt The Reece Committee on the Subversive Activities of Tax-Exempt Foundations

Charlotte Iserbyt interview on the Reece Committee investigation. In 1953, Congress tasked Rep. Carroll Reece with establishing and directing a congressional investigative committee to investigate the activities of the major Wall Street tax-exempt foundations – Carnegie, Ford and Rockefeller – on the ground of suspicions of subversion. The Reece Committee was thus created. The Committee's investigation involved numerous interviews and the thorough study of these foundations' private records, on site. It determined the foundations' activities to be unamerican and subversive, and to consist on the use of propaganda, influence and grant making power to control the channels of social influence (education, media, advertising, etc.) and, thus, public opinion, but also to infiltrate institutions and co-opt nexuses of power. The declared aims were those of promoting socialism, communism and the idea of world government, as well as advancing socialist legislation and globalist policies. In effect, to create what amounted to a silent, non-bloody socialist revolution in the United States. The purpose was also, ostensibly, to degrade and debase the population to make them more manageable and controllable. If you're debased and dissolute you won't care about the takeover of society, won't stand for principle, and won't join with others to fix stuff. You will, in fact, help take down the fabric of society by means of inept, degraded interpersonal behavior. Also, if the focus of your concerns is whether you feel good, special and cool, have nice things for yourself, etc., then you're easily controlled by those who have the power to either give you candy, or to chastise and punish you. You're fit for social control, and that's what these foundation characters knew. Yet, there was more. As Rowan Gaither, the director of the Ford Foundation, explained to Norman Dodd (who headed the Committee investigation under Rep. Reece): «All of us here have at one time or another served in the OSS, the Office of Strategic Services [the forerunner of the CIA], or the European Economic Administration, operating under directives from the White House. We [still] operate under those same directives. The substance of the directives under which we operate is that we should use our grant making power to so alter life in the United States that we can be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union». The “merger of the United States with the Soviet Union” Gaither alludes to occurs at two levels. First, it refers to merging capitalist democracy with the paradigm of the socialist controlled society to create a form of technocratic, corporate fascism – what we've gradually been going into for the last decades, pace now speeding big time. But it also refers to what has since become known as “convergence”: to literally converge the U.S. and the Soviet Union (along with the rest of the world) into a standardized system of world governance, one that will eventually be run by a socialist world government.
