The way the world has been turned upside down – or inverted as I’m describing it now is by a strategy of capturing the means. Capturing the means is a strategy of war from the shadows. By way of example, consider environmental protection. In the archived history of the Environmental Protection Agency is the following description of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA).
This statute recast the government’s role: formerly the conservator of wilderness, it now became the protector of earth, air, land, and water.
That statement defines the inversion from a government for the people to a government for the environment – the birds, the animals, land, water, etc. It captures the means by which men live and in so doing, it captures the man. To see how the capture unfolds requires a walk back in history.
In 2010, John and Patricia Adams, co-founders of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) gave an interview for a podcast called Green is Good. The purpose of the interview was to allow the Adams Family (intentional) to describe the early beginnings of the NRDC. The interviewer gushed:
If the planet has a lawyer, it’s John Adams.
Excerpts from the transcript (click the down arrow):
Speaking of the 1970s: it was the era of the Civil Rights movement, early women’s movement We need an NAACP legal defense fund of the environment, and you look like a good candidate to come and start it.”We got approval to practice law as a charitable corporation in New York, the first time an organization had been approved for charitable practice of law. The next thing that happened is we applied for a tax exemption. [Note: President Nixon blocked the tax exemption. I don’t know the timing of this but the outcome was that NRDC got their tax exempt status and Nixon was removed from office.]
[Storm King Case] Citizens were given the right to sue, even if they didn’t have an economic interest in the outcome . . .
. . . NRDC truly began as a law firm involved with policy, science, business, and law
In fact, the EPA said, in the early years of NRDC, that the lawyers here were like American patriots, revolutionaries . . . Often, EPA is happy that it has NRDC to help sort of police and be ever vigilant, looking at the various cases. (Note: Read about sue and settle).
So, very early on, when people were working on the health issues of the Clean Air Act and the science issues of clean water and toxic chemicals, it became absolutely imperative that we have the kinds of trained people who could, using their Master’s or Doctorate degree, speak for us. So, we began a program of really public interest science . . . we didn’t want them to be hobbled by the so-called rules of the science industry . . . credit for this goes to a scientist named George Woodwell who’s at the Woods Hole Research Center, a great man. This is one of the people who identified climate as an early peril . . . By the time we were in the business 10 years, we had four or five scientists, and then we started adding people from the Yale School of the Environment and the Duke School and Berkeley School of Energy. In fact, all of our early energy people came out of the Berkeley school under John Holdren.
The Ford Foundation provided the initial funding to the NRDC and replenished the funding after the battle over their tax exempt status.
Mechanical Engineers Engineering Humans and Human Society
In 1947, H. Rowan Gaither was hired by the Ford Foundation to re-organize the foundation defining a new mission: engineering humans and human society as the automakers had engineered their mechanical production lines. Obviously, their new mission statement was written to promote the idea that the Foundation would serve the interests of humans and human societies – very high minded stuff but in the Cox Hearing on Tax-Exempt Foundations in 1952, the truth is revealed in snippets of testimony like golden nuggets in a stream bed of pap and pablum.
“it is only our trustees whom we have to satisfy, who are hard-headed businessmen, but who can of course give us support because there you have a chance to give the explanation necessary to get the individual assent”. Testimony of Paul G. Hoffman (Cox Hearing page 36 pdf)
Almost in the next breath, in typical salesman fashion Hoffman tells the questioning congressman:
I think in a manner of speaking, we are your agents, you see . . . That is right, we are your agents.
Yeah, that’s right, that’s the ticket – we are YOUR agents.
Cox Hearing
On November 18, 1952, the House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations came to order. The Chairman, Honorable Eugene E. Cox opened with the following statement – emphasis added:
This committee is operating under House Resolution 561, which among other things directs the committee to conduct a full and complete investigation and study of educational and philanthropic foundations and other comparable organizations which are exempt from Federal income taxation to determine which such foundations and organizations are using their resources for purposes other than the purposes for which they were established, and especially to determine which such foundations and organizations are using their resources for un-American activities or for purposes not in the interest or tradition of the United States.
Human social engineering defines un-American activities not in the interest or tradition of the United States.
The transcripts for the Cox and Reese hearings can be found HERE. Since the hearing files are so large, the pdf was broken out into hearing days. The testimony of the Ford Foundation representatives was received on November 24, 1952 and may be found HERE.
The Foundation officers selected to testify were:
Rowan Gaither, Jr., Associate Director of the Ford Foundation
Henry Ford II, Chairman of the Ford Foundation and President of the Ford Motor Co.
Paul G. Hoffman, President and Director of the Ford Foundation
So who was Paul G. Hoffman?
In 1950, the Ford Foundation hired Paul G. Hoffman to be President of the Foundation. From 1948 to 1950, Hoffman was the Administrator of the Economic Cooperation Administration (ECA) where he led the implementation of the Marshall Plan with its European counterpart, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEEC). In 1951, the ECA was abolished as a government agency. According to the State Department history, Congress transferred its functions and budget to a new government agency, the Mutual Security Agency.
All things considered, it appears to this writer that the function of the ECA was actually transferred off-books to the Ford Foundation. Why would they privatize the ECA function? How about because what they were planning was patently unconstitutional, it would not stand up under public scrutiny and when the public found out about social engineering aspect, people would have begun looking for the nearest hanging tree for all of them.
The following is an excerpt Hoffman’s testimony (Page 35):
Mr. Hoffman: . . . I think basically if the foundation dollars are to be used most effectively, they should be used in activities that are what I would call of high risk. In other words, this is I think as Mr. Gaither said, the venture capital of social progress.
As the testimony continues, Hoffman talks a lot about Pakistan. What it boils down to is that in Pakistan at that time, working with one’s hands was considered unclean – beneath dignity. So what the Ford Foundation did was to work against that cultural norm to get poli-technical schools in place so they could train mechanics. Obviously, if Ford was going to sell cars in Pakistan, they needed mechanics to service the cars. They also needed people to have enough money to buy the cars. The point is that if you look at the Ford Foundation’s activities in Pakistan, you can see that what Ford Foundation was doing was to benefit the Ford Motor Company in a round-about way and the American taxpayers were paying for it via the tax-exemption for Foundations.
On Page 47 of Hoffman’s testimony he mentioned the Point 4 program. Point 4 was a program of the Truman Administration established in 1949.
Truman’s Point Four proposal, along with the much larger Marshall Plan, would not be a totally new idea. What was new was how Truman made a connection between foreign aid and freedom. “
–Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace. And the key to greater production is a wider and more vigorous application of modern scientific and technical knowledge.
– Only by helping the least fortunate of its members to help themselves can the human family achieve the decent, satisfying life that is the right of all people.
– Democracy alone can supply the vitalizing force to stir the peoples of the world into triumphant action, not only against their human oppressors, but also against their ancient enemies- hunger, misery, and despair.
– On the basis of these four major courses of action we hope to help create the conditions that will lead eventually to personal freedom and happiness for all mankind.
That last one is quite the joke in view of the technology that has been developed to eliminate personal freedom capturing mankind in a technocratic system of enslavement. We went from man controlling the machines to machines controlling the man.
The above handout on Truman’s Point 4 program has this timeline:
The Act for International Development can be found HERE
The above is confirmed by the State Department history. Follow the bouncing ball.
Notice there is a discrepancy. The Truman history refers to the International Cooperation Association while the State Department documentation refers to the International Cooperation Administration.
The Free Library has an article on Chile titled: Economic Transformations in Chile: the formation of the Chicago Boys. Chile was probably the first country-wide economic and social experiment. A lot has been written about what they did in Chile so I’m not going to repeat any of it except to point out an organizational discrepancy. . In the Background section, there is a discrepancy. It says:
The first occurred between 1955 and 1964 through a program started by the United States Agency for International Development (AID).
USAID was not formed until 1961 according to State Department history. Its predecessor was the International Cooperation Administration. The following is from the State Department history:
Executive Order 10973 and State Department Delegation of Authority 104, both Nov 3, 1961, established the Agency for International Development within the Department of State. Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1979 (93 Stat. 1378) made AID part of the U.S. International Development Cooperation Agency, which provides planning, policy making, and policy coordination on international economic issues affecting developing countries. AID continues to administer economic assistance programs for developing countries. The Administrator of the Agency of International Development currently also serves as the Director of the International Development Cooperation Agency.
On March 23, 1961, President John F. Kennedy, issued a statement on signing the Ratification of Convention on Establishing the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Text of the Convention on Establishing the OECD can be found HERE
The reason for pointing out the discrepancy is because I don’t believe it was an error. It’s a slightly opened window to the shell game that has been played between the Ford Foundation, the State Department and other agencies of government as they rob the American people, looting and stealing our country right out from under us.
Oh but you say, “that was a long time ago”. It doesn’t matter. That was the early history. The Ford Foundation is to this day involved in social engineering and worse. When I was trying to figure out what was happening to Idaho’s capital city, I found the Ford Foundation involved in what turned out to be the establishment of a metropolitan region and the conversion of Boise to be a global city under the direction of a group of private businessmen. A couple of years ago, I again found the Ford Foundation funding and supporting human rights groups (read Marxists) in Montana. The group, Montana Human Rights Network that Ford was recognizing was recognized by the Clinton Administration. Not in Our Town Campaign.
Capturing the Means
When I began this article, I started with a paragraph about the strategy being to capture the means. Capturing the means – means to establish a “charity” for the social welfare of the businesses engaged in a trade or industry under the British guild system located in the City of London. In other words the guild system establishes an organization for businesses under the banner of charity. This system of business cartels operating as charities dates back to 1600 although the history today puts the beginning of the guild system at 1601 – skipping over the Mac Daddy East India Trading Company.
On 31 December 1600, the last day of the first year of the new century, the ‘Governor and Company of the Merchants of London trading to the East Indies’ a group of 218 men, received their royal charter.
(Page 9, The Anarchy by William Dalrymple ~ thank you to Daniel Natal for the reference.
The system of charity cartels for business was carried forward to the new world when President John Adams signed the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.
1798—John Adams, second president of the United States, signed into law the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen. A year later, Congress extended the Act to cover every officer and sailor in the U.S. Navy. The Act led to the gradual creation of a loose network of locally controlled marine hospitals along coastal and inland waterways.
From those beginnings, the Public Health System evolved. Truman – Executive Order 9575, June 21, 1945 – establishing the Commissioned of the Public Health Service to be a Military Service thus making the charity industrial complex, the military-charity-industrial complex.
And the livery companies are still active in our country to this day. In fact, one of the guild members for the Fuellers Livery Company was a consultant in the restructuring of the U.S. utility system.
The restructuring of our system of utilities cartelized our electric utility system by making the electric grid a common carrier system under the regulatory authority of a single organization. And the british have actually bought a lot of our electric grid (search National Grid – that the name of a British company.)
The guild system is a cartel of cartels. Their power is in organization of cartels by business/social/political sector. They operate as charities from the shadows. That is exactly what the Ford Foundation is – a tax-exempt non-profit (charity) for the auto industry.
The guild system evolved from the East India Trading Company – Merchants of War to be the Merchants of Peace to be the Merchant Masters of the Universe – if we allow it.
What they’ve done is to design environmental regulation to include Public Health. Public Health is basically environmental health and they intend to control everybody on the planet through this combination on what could be called the (pseudo) science for the capture and control of humanity. Climate Change adds the air to the monopoly control of our environment. Earth, Wind, Water and Life.
It’s time to shut down the tax exempt “charities” for business like the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller, Carnegie and all their demon spawn charities.
