"Congressman William
Dannemeyer accompanied the Christian Emergency Relief Team
(CERT) International on a tour along the Honduras/Nicaragua
border in 1987. According to Daniel Junas, CERT is
coordinating its Honduras activities with members of the
Unification Church or its related organizations. Junas, a
researcher on the Unification Church, said it appears that
CERT has taken over the direct humanitarian and contra
assistance work of CAUSA, the political arm of the Unification
Church.(13,14) He also indicated that the American Freedom
Coalition, an organization dominated by the Unification
Church, tried to arrange morning TV appearances for a
representative of the Miskito Indians who was working with
CERT.(13) The American Freedom Coalition has also supported
CERT financially."

According to the website,
"...Saint Paul’s
Anglican Church was founded in 1964 by a group of
ex-Episcopalians in response to the adoption of humanist ideas
by the main-line Episcopal Church....The Church is a founding
member of the Anglican Churches of America and Associates
(founded in 1968), a confederation of churches of like mind
and doctrine (not necessarily Anglican), whose purpose is the
defense of the Gospel, and mutual assistance in such efforts
as a seminary, Christian schools, Christian hospitals, and any
agreed-upon proper effort for Christian churches. The founding

The Cullen Davis Case.
Former Texas millionaire Cullen Davis was acquitted of the
capital murder of his twelve-year-old step-daughter, the
murder of his estranged wife’s boyfriend, and the attempted
murder of his estranged wife, Priscilla. Several years later,
another jury acquitted Davis of conspiring to hire a hit man
to kill some of the people responsible for his previous
arrest. "August 2, 1976, a mysterious "man in
black" entered the palatial home of oil multimillionaire
T. Cullen Davis and his estranged wife, Priscilla, and shot to
death Priscilla's twelve-year-old daughter, Andrea Wilborn,
and Priscilla's lover, ex-TCU basketball player Stan Farr, and
wounded Priscilla's friend, Gus "Bubba" Gavrel, Jr.,
and Priscilla herself, then fled back into the night, and that
Cullen became the richest man ever to be put on trial for
murder in the United States. Acquitted after three years,
Cullen divorced, and married a former Dallas Cowboys
cheerleader, and held a religious revival at his mansion
where, before seven witnesses, he would declare himself a
born-again Christian." 11.

CNP 1984, 1988; Hollywood actor; 32nd º Mason, Shriner
Thomas D. DeLay - CNP
1996, 1998, ?; United States House of
Representatives; represented 22nd District of Texas since 1984. Became a
Christian in 1985; Republican, appointed Deputy Minority
Whip in 1988, House Majority Whip in 1994; elected House
Majority Leader after 2002 elections.
In 2005, Tom DeLay was
indicted in Austin, Texas on criminal charges of conspiracy to
violate election laws in 2002 by a Travis County, Texas grand
jury after having waived his rights under the statutes of
limitations. He temporarily resigned from his position as House
Majority Leader and on January 7, 2006 announced he would not
seek to return to his position.
Tom Delay
and and his political
associates Jim Ellis and John Colyandro were first indicted September 28, 2005, by the Travis County, Texas, Grand Jury, all
three charged with "conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme.".
[http://news.findlaw.com/nytimes/docs/delay/delay92805ind.html]
DeLay received gifts
from former CNP member Jack Abramoff. It is unknown if they were
members of the CNP at the same time because of the missing
membership information between 1988, Abramoff's last known
membership year, and 1996, DeLay's first year that can be
confirmed.
Michael Scanlon, Abramoff's business partner, has also pleaded
guilty to corruption charges.
James
Dobson,
Pat Robertson,
Ralph Reed,
Jerry Falwell,
Tony Perkins,
Gary Bauer,
and other CNP and religious right leaders are being discussed
in the press regarding their associations with Jack Abramoff
and
Tom DeLay
and whether they were privy to their respective activities.
Although
DeLay has been
publicly denying the charges, the trial judge dismissed the one
count of the indictment, alleging conspiracy to violate election
law. Judge Priest, however, denied the motion to dismiss the
charges alleging money laundering and conspiracy to engage in
money laundering.
According to various media,
and in particular, in December 2005, the Washington Post
reported that a group of Russian oil executives gave money to a
non-profit advocacy group which was linked to Tom DeLay and Jack
Abramoff. The reports suggest that it was an attempt to
influence his vote on a 1998 International Monetary Fund bailout
of the Russian economy. Associates of Ed Buckham, the founder of
the U.S. Family Network, stated that executives from the oil
firm Naftasib offered a donation of $1,000,000 to secure DeLay's
support, with DeLay denying that the payment, which came via a
check from a London law firm to U.S. Family Network, influenced
his vote. Naftasib denied it made the payment or that they were
represented by the named law firm, and the dissolved law firm
declined to comment.
From SourceWatch, with
hotlinks removed:
"....Prosecutor Ronnie Earle
"broadened the scope of his inquiry into election spending" on
January 5, 2006, "demanding documents related to funds that
passed through a nonprofit organization," the U.S. Family
Network, Inc., "founded in 1996 by DeLay's then-chief of staff,"
Ed Buckham," which "received $500,000 in 1999 from the National
Republican Congressional Committee and used some of the money to
finance radio ads attacking Democrats," R. Jeffrey Smith
reported in the Washington Post.
"From Russia With Love"
"Two former associates" of DeLay's former chief of staff
and organizer of U.S. Family Network, Inc., Ed Buckham,
said Buckham told them Russian oil and gas executives
"Marina Nevskaya and Alexander Koulakovsky of the oil firm
Naftasib" contributed $1 million in 1998 "specifically to
influence DeLay's vote on legislation the International
Monetary Fund needed to finance a bailout of the
collapsing Russian economy." Jack Abramoff "had been
working closely with two such Russian energy executives on
their Washington agenda, and the lobbyist [Abramoff] and
Buckham had helped organize a 1997 Moscow visit by DeLay."
--R. Jeffrey Smith, Washington Post ,
December 31, 2005.
"...District
Attorney Ronnie Earle issued subpoenas late Monday
afternoon [December 12, 2005,] for California businessmen
Brent Wilkes and Max Gelwix, records of Perfect Wave
Technologies LLC, Wilkes Corp. and ADCS Inc. in connection
with a contribution to a fundraising committee at the
center of the investigation that led to DeLay's indictment
on money laundering charges," the Associated Press's
Suzanne Gamboa reported.
...Following the
November 21, 2005, plea agreement on federal conspiracy
charges by Michael Scanlon -- former aide to DeLay and
partner to DeLay associate Jack Abramoff -- the likelihood
of "federal charges against members of Congress
intensified" when Scanlon "agreed to co-operate with
investigators."
[4]
"The Wall Street
Journal reported November 25, 2005, that the Justice
Department's "investigation into possible
influence-peddling by prominent Republican lobbyist Jack
Abramoff is examining his dealings with four lawmakers,
more than a dozen current and former congressional aides
and two former Bush administration officials, lawyers and
others involved in the case. ... [Namely] House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, Rep. Bob Ney (R., Ohio),
Rep. John Doolittle (R., Calif.) and Sen. Conrad Burns
(R., Mont.), according to several people close to the
investigation. ... Five of the former aides worked for Mr.
DeLay, including" Tony Rudy, Ed Buckham and Susan B.
Hirschmann. "The three were top aides to Mr. DeLay and are
now Washington lobbyists."
[5]
"Long-time political
allies DeLay and Roy Blunt, "the deputy who succeeded him
as House majority leader, orchestrated a political money
carousel in 2000 that diverted donations secretly
collected for presidential convention parties to some of
their own pet causes."
"When it all
ended, DeLay's private charity, along with the consulting
firm that employed DeLay's wife and the Missouri campaign
of Blunt's son, Matt, who now is the state's governor, all
ended up with a piece of the pie,
according to campaign documents reviewed by The Associated
Press."
[6]
"Jack Abramoff,
the Washington lobbyist recently charged in an ongoing
federal corruption and fraud investigation, and Jim Ellis,
the DeLay fundraiser indicted with his boss last week in
Texas, also appeared in the picture."
[7]
"DeLay has
received perks from Abramoff for years, including an 'education and golfing' trip to
Korea,
funded by a registered foreign agent, which is a violation
of House rules. ("The money was funneled through a
Washington tax-exempt group and the trip arranged" by
Abramoff. [8]
"Also involved in
the transactions is the Alexander Strategy Group, the
"political consulting firm formed by DeLay's former chief
of staff, Ed Buckham."
[9]
"None of the
hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations DeLay
collected for the 2000 convention were ever disclosed to
federal regulators because the type of group DeLay used
wasn't governed by federal law at the time."
[10]
[SourceWatch: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Thomas_D._DeLay]
Again From Source Watch:
"Tom DeLay is
implicated as the recipient of numerous gifts and other
favors from indicted Washington Lobyist Jack Abramoff,
whom he once characterized as "one of his closest and
dearest friends." Abramoff and his wife have personally
contributed $40,000 to DeLay and his PAC. Abramoff also
arranged multiple overseas expense-paid trips for DeLay
and his top staffers to Russia, Saipan and Britain over
the years. Funding for these trips has been closely tied
to Indian gaming tribes, Russian business tycoons and
overseas sweatshop operators.
[15]
"The Associated Press
reported on April 7, 2005, "DeLay's political action
committee did not reimburse lobbyist Jack Abramoff for the
May 2000 use of the skybox, instead treating it as a type
of donation that didn't have to be disclosed to election
regulators at the time.
"The skybox donation,
valued at thousands of dollars, came just three weeks
before DeLay accepted a trip to Europe including golf with
Abramoff at the world-famous St. Andrews course for
himself, his wife and aides that was underwritten by some
of the lobbyist's clients."
"Two months after
the concert and trip, DeLay voted against gambling
legislation opposed by some of Abramoff's Indian tribe
clients."
[16] "
[SourceWatch: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Thomas_D._DeLay]
In a January 6 press release issued
three days after Jack Abramoff's indictment, James Dobson
declared,
"If the nation's politicians don't
fix this national disaster, then the oceans of gambling money
with which Jack Abramoff tried to buy influence on Capitol
Hill will only be the beginning of the corruption we'll see."
... "Gambling--all types of gambling--is driven by greed and
subsists on greed."
From Abramoff's Evangelical Soldiers
by Max Blumenthal, writing for The Nation and posted
February 2, 2006, and noting individuals such as
James Dobson,
Pat Robertson,
Ralph Reed,
Jerry Falwell, Tony
Perkins,
Gary
Bauer, all of whom are
members of the CNP:
"...What Dobson neglected to
mention--and has yet to discuss publicly--is his own pivotal
role in one of Abramoff's schemes. In 2002 Dobson joined a
coterie of Christian-right activists, including Tony Perkins,
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, to spearhead Abramoff's
campaigns against the establishment of several Louisiana
casinos that infringed on the turf of Abramoff's tribal
clients. Dobson and his allies recorded messages for phone
banking, lobbied high-level Bush Administration officials and
took to the airwaves. Whether they knew it or not, these
Christian soldiers' crusade to protect families in the
"Sportsmen's Paradise" from the side effects of chronic
slot-pulling and dice-rolling was funded by the gambling
industry and planned by the lobbyist known even to his friends
as "Casino Jack."
"The only Christian-right activist
confirmed to be completely aware of Abramoff's rip-off was
Ralph Reed. He and Abramoff have a long and storied history
together. When Abramoff chaired the College Republican
National Committee in the early 1980s, Reed served as the
organization's executive director. They reunited in 1989, when
Abramoff helped Reed organize the remains of Pat Robertson's
failed 1988 presidential bid into the Christian Coalition. In
1997, with the Christian Coalition under IRS investigation and
Reed facing accusations of cronyism from the group's chief
financial officer, he left to start his own consulting firm,
Century Strategies. Reed contacted Abramoff right away. "I
need to start humping in corporate accounts," Reed told him in
1998. "I'm counting on you to help me with some contacts."
..."In
July 2002, at the height of the anti-Jena campaign,
[Gary]
Bauer and
Rabbi Daniel Lapin, a fixture at Christian-right events,
founded the American Alliance of Christians and Jews. On the
group's board were Dobson,
Robertson, Falwell and one Jack
Abramoff. Lapin's organization, Toward Tradition, which
administered the AACJ, received $25,000 from one of
Abramoff's gambling industry
clients in 2000; took $75,000 from
Abramoff and his clients; and then, upon
Abramoff's written
instructions, hired the wife of Tony Rudy to the tune of
$5,000 a month. Rudy, who was Tom DeLay's deputy chief of
staff at the time, later a lobbyist, has been named in
Abramoff's guilty plea"

Rabbi Lapin is frequently
featured at Christian conferences, such as those held by the
Christian Coalition [Pat Robertson
[CNP]. . Ralph
Reed [Christian Coalition] has said of Lapin, "Rabbi
Lapin is a key leader and one of our most popular speakers."
Lapin advertised on the radio [1997/'98] for a seminar he
conducts called America's Biblical Blueprint. As he is warmly
received and promoted in Christian circles, his appeal is in a
large part to Christians. But Lapin is not a Christian. The
Bible he teaches from would be limited to the Old Testament:
mainly Genesis, Exodus and other books of the Torah. Lapin's
message would be void of the revelation of Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior.

Newcomen
Society 20.
was established in America in 1923 to
distinguish and recognize "those factors which have
contributed or are contributing to the progress of
Mankind" through a material (as opposed to a political)
contribution or influence." The society honors
"corporate entities and other organizations which
contribute to or are examples of success attained under free
enterprise, and recognizes contributions to that system".
Charles Penrose, chairman of
the Newcomen Society in 1958, wrote, "...continue the
struggle towards a nobler Civilization--through wider
knowledge and understanding of the hopes, ambitions, and deeds
of leaders of the past who have upheld Civilizations material

Amway launched a five year
corporate sponsorship for the Aspen
Global Change Institute 22. Amway's partners included the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the
United Nations Environment Programme, and the Windstar (John

"...AGCI convenes
interdisciplinary meetings of the world's leading scientists,
enabling them to work together at the cutting edge of a
variety of topics of critical importance in the global change
arena. The goal of these meetings is not only to further
scientific understanding across disciplines, but also to serve
as a catalyst for researchers to collaborate on new work. AGCI
is also committed to linking global change science at its most
advanced levels with education at the kindergarten through
twelfth grade (K-12) level. AGCI's Ground Truth Studies (GTS)
curriculum is now used in over 750 schools in the United
States and Canada. GTS is an activity-based science education
program that integrates local environmental issues with global
change topics and introduces the exciting tool of remote
sensing to students in elementary and secondary schools. By
studying aerial and satellite images of their own region,
students gain new skills and insights into both local and
global scale change. Students also engage in hands-on field
measurements to "ground truth" or validate remotely
sensed data." "Other educational efforts of AGCI
include EarthPulse NEWS, an electronic global change update
for educators and EarthPulse Notes, a resource of current
article summaries on a wide variety of global change
topics."23
AGCI also focuses on population control."

Answering an email query about the
Aspen
Global Change Institute AGCI, concerning any relationship to Aspen Institute, an
entirely different group with global change on it's mind, the
AGCI response was "not really related" and
" We are very interested in each other's work and have
been known to cooperate on logistical matters." 28
James Spiegelman, director
of Public Affairs of Aspen Institute, wrote, " We have no
relationship whatever to the Aspen Global Change Institute..."

It should be noted that
Aspen Institute does have CNP members connected to it as well
and is discussed in other biographies.
"In the last election,
Amway gave more to the GOP than any other company, including
an unprecedented $2.5 million in soft money. DeVos and his
wife Helen are also major contributors to Newt Gingrich and
GOPAC...In 1989, the company spent a jaw-dropping $38.1
million to settle a suit by Canada's trade office that accused
the company of undervaluing merchandise to escape customs
duties. This topped a $25 million fine from the province of
Ontario in 1983, after Amway pleaded guilty to criminal
fraud..." 30

Founder and President of Focus on the Family. Honorary
doctorate degrees from such schools as Biola University,
Pepperdine University (1983), Franciscan University of
Steubenville, Ohio [a Catholic university] (1988), Seattle
Pacific University (1988), Asbury Theological Seminary (1989),
Mid America Nazarene College (1992), and Liberty University
(1993).; received numerous honors including, the
Humanitarian Award from the California State Psychological
Assn.; The Catholic Franciscan University of
Steubenville, Ohio, bestowed an honorary doctorate upon him as
a statement of their support for Focus on the Family (Evangelical
Catholics, p. 200). The September 1990, issue of New
Covenant, a Catholic charismatic magazine, featured Dobson
and a very positive report on Focus on the Family.
FOTF has 35 affiliated
political groups in 35 states under the direction of extremely
strong grass roots lobbies. About 4% of FOTF's annual budget
is devoted to public policy projects, voter education, and
lobbying (i.e., over $4 million!). Dobson himself has served
in a variety of consulting capacities to the Carter, Reagan,
and Bush administrations, and was nominated by (then) Senate
majority leader Bob Dole to the Presidential Commission on
Child and Family Welfare in the Clinton administration; he
received the loving attention of virtually all of the 1996
Republican presidential candidates, although he has been
virtually ignored by George W. Bush's 2000 Campaign. 35.
One former employee of Focus
on the Family has coined the term "Dobsonology":
"Dobsonology is a
mixture of psychology, humanism, New Age, political activism
and ecumenism packed in a silver box of morality; it is tied
with a golden ribbon of assorted Scriptures -- not
necessarily in context. It is being sold to the Christian
Community in lieu of Biblical authority through sound
doctrine by James Dobson and his Focus On The Family
Organization." 36
In the late 1980s, Dobson
helped form the Religious Alliance Against Pornography which
included Roman Catholic priests and bishops. The 1986 meeting
was held in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Dobson praised the unity
which was present at that meeting and stated that "there
has been great camaraderie among the top leaders of virtually
all religious groups" in the U.S. (1/87, Focus on the
Family). Of this alliance Jerry Kirk said, "Never
before have we seen Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Greek
Orthodox and (Mormon) leaders come together in such agreement
and cooperation on an issue." Also represented at the
meeting were the National
Association of Evangelicals [See: Fuller> The
Original Five] National Council of
Churches, the Southern
Baptist Convention 37
and Charismatics.
A Catholic archbishop called the alliance "an ecumenical
miracle" (8/22/98, FBIS)." 38
Dobson has frequently
welcomed Roman Catholics and Mormons
on his radio show, welcoming all as members of "the
family of God." In late 1989, Dobson offered a calendar
with a peculiarly Mormon slogan, "Families Are
Forever," which summarizes the Mormon doctrine of eternal
progression of Mormon "temple-sealed" families
(4/15/91, Calvary
Contender 39.). Dobson is also the possessor of an
honorary doctorate from the Roman Catholic (Franciscan)
University of Steubenville in Ohio, and was featured in a 9/90
five-page article (with cover photo) in the Catholic
charismatic magazine New Covenant. (Reported in The
Fundamentalist Digest, November-December 1991.) 40
For Mormons See: James
Trimm as Rabbi Yosef
In the 11/89 issue of FOTF's
Clubhouse magazine for children, a smiling "Mother"
Teresa was on the cover, and the lead article was
entitled, "Teresa of Calcutta: Little Woman with a Big
Heart." The readers of this magazine were made to think
that Mother Teresa was a genuine New Testament Christian and
that she was doing a great work for God through her Sisters of
Charities mission. "Mother" Teresa was, in reality,
a New Age pantheist who considered Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam,
and other religions all to be acceptable ways to God. 41
Protestant-turned-Catholic
Scott Hahn, a theology professor at Franciscan University, and
a very popular guest on evangelical radio programs across the
country, began one interview by gushing over the fact that his
Catholic school has impressed leading evangelicals James
Dobson and Chuck
Colson. He quoted Dobson as noting that "he had never
seen a campus where the students take the Lordship of Jesus
Christ so seriously." Hahn then added that Colson had
nominated the Catholic university for membership in the
Evangelical College Coalition because, "it really is a
dynamic orthodox Catholic university that is as evangelical as
it is Catholic." (Source: Scott Hahn interview,
"Pittsburgh Talks," WORD-FM; as reported in the
4/96, The Berean Call.) 42
Dr.
Joseph Nicolosi, a Roman Catholic psychotherapist, was a major
speaker at a November 1998 conference sponsored by James
Dobson's Focus on the Family organization. Dobson held
two more conferences in 1999 (on 8/14/99 and 11/6/99) in which
Nicolosi was again featured. 43.
Signed 1993
Covenant of Mutual Respect responding to objections of
Catholic and Jewish leaders in Colorado Springs that
"Jewish and Catholic youth were being evangelized at
school." In this covenant the parties agreed to respect
one another's diverse beliefs and to avoid
"polarization" Signers included Focus on the Family,
Young Life, International Students, Inc., and the Navigators
and others.
In 1989 Focus on the Family
vice president Rolf Zettersten testified: "One of the
striking first impressions I had when I came to Focus on the
Family seven years ago was the diversity of denominations
represented by my co-workers" (Focus on the Family,
December 1988). He said: "I joined the Nazarenes,
Presbyterians, Baptists, and Charismatics (& many other
denominations) who had cast their theological distinctives
aside in order to achieve a common objective--to help
families."
Bill Bright
fasted 40 days
during the summer of 1994, during which he claims to have
received a "prophecy from God" that a mighty revival
is coming. He then issued a call for hundreds of liberals,
charismatics, and new-evangelicals to gather in Orlando
12/5/94-12/7/94 to fast and pray for revival. An Invitation
Committee made up of a hodgepodge of 72 liberals, new
evangelicals, and charismatics was formed. Included were:
Robert Schuller, Charles Colson, E.V. Hill, Jack Hayford, James
Dobson, W.A. Criswell, Charles Stanley, Paul Crouch, Luis
Palau, Bill Gothard, Pat Robertson, Kay Arthur, and
Larry
Burkett. 44.

the secret of fundraising is to try to "make them angry
and stir up hostilities. The shriller you are, the easier it

CRF president Dan Sills, [CRF] has received at least $500,000
from Moon sources. A prominent CRF spokesperson and
executive committee member is Joseph Paige...Paige received
$60,000 from the Unification Church for his school, which in
turn gave Moon a much publicized honorary doctorate. Paige is
also active in CAUSA." [1986] "the Moon organization
opened an international front in its 'religious freedom"
campaign. According to Moon's New York City Tribune ,
the World Council on Religious Liberty (WCRL) was founded in
December 1986...The Chairman of WCRL is Joseph Paige, and its
" Chairman of the North American Caucus is Don Sills.
They have recruited Dr. Robert G. Muller, assistant Secretary
general of the United Nations as chairman of the Council's
International Advisory Committee. The Council's headquarters
are in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is also home to Paige's
Shaw Divinity School." 48

"...June 30, 1978, came from
John T. "Terry" Dolan of the National Conservative
Political Action Committee (NCPAC). Dolan's group was
pioneering the strategy of "independent" TV attack
ads which smeared liberal Democrats. In turn, Moon's CAUSA
International helped Dolan by contributing $500,000 to a Dolan
group, known as the Conservative Alliance or CALL. 49 With support from Dolan and
others, Moon weathered the Koreagate political storm. 50.
Young
Americans for Freedom (YAF) 51.
was founded in 1960. Alumni of
YAF include William F. Buckley, a founder; Richard
Viguerie,
right-wing direct mail guru; Howard
K Phillips, head of the
Conservative Caucus; and John T. (Terry) Dolan, who headed the
National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC).
"The effort to build
bridges between secular and religious conservatives was
spearheaded by four activists with no background in the
Christian Right community: Howard Phillips of the Conservative
Caucus; John "Terry" Dolan of the National
Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC);
Paul
Weyrich
of the National Committee for the Survival of a Free Congress;
and Richard Viguerie, a major fund-raiser for conservative
causes. The basis for coalition would be a frontal attack on
"big government" as a threat to traditional
religious and economic values. In response, the National
Christian Action Coalition, the first national organization of
the Christian Right, was launched in 1978. Television
evangelist Jerry Falwell organized the most prominent of the
new organizations, Moral Majority, in 1979. To reach into the
Southern Baptist Convention, Ed
McAteer started the Religious
Roundtable, while Christian Voice, composed primarily of
members of the Assemblies of God, concentrated on the western
states." 52

Alan
Keyes received his Ph.D.
in Government Affairs in 1979 from Harvard, where his roommate
was William Kristol, [Bilderberger] editor and
publisher of The Weekly Standard, an influential
journal of politics and ideas published in Washington, D. C. William
Kristol ran Alan Keyes' 1988 Senate Campaign in Maryland. The
Weekly Standard Deputy Editor is John Podhoretz. John's
dad... Norman Podhoretz is a member of the CFR and his mother,
Midge Decter, is a vice president of the Socialist League
for Industrial Democracy 63
In 1985 William Kristol was hired by Bill
Bennett 64
to serve in the federal Department of Education,
where he quickly rose to chief of staff. He has served as
chairman of the Project for the Republican Future
from 1993 to 1994 and as the director of the Bradley
Project on the '90s at the Lynde and Harry Bradley
Foundation in Milwaukee in 1993. (from Board
of Visitors page at George Mason University. 65.).
William Kristol's father, Irving
Kristol, (CFR-lifetime member) joined the Young
People's Socialist League in the 30s. 66.
In 1953 Irving Kristol
founded and was editor of the magazine
"Encounter" in England, which was secretly supported
by the CIA. It ran articles for Fabian Socialist and
Bilderberger Huge Gaitskell, head of the Labor Party.
67
Irving co-founded, in 1965, with
Daniel Bell, (CFR) "The Public Interest" Magazine.
68.
This was a publication of "Freedom
House.", which has received major support from
The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation and has such as Jeane
J. Kirkpatrick as a trustee and CNP's
Alan
P. Dye . Kristol was
co-founder of Coalition
for a Democratic Majority (CDM) who also has Kirkpatrick
as a member. 69

Freedom House was run by
George Field who was chairman of the Rand School for Social
Science owned by the American Socialist Society.
70.
Daniel Bell, Kristols
partner, also belonged to the Young
Socialist League 71
and was a director for the League for
Industrial Democracy , which was the American equivalent
of the Fabian Society. Previous to 1921, it was named the Intercollegiate
Socialist Society, 72
it's goals to advance the ideas of
Marxism. Upton Sinclair and Jack London founded ISS in
1905 and Upton later founded the American Civil Liberties
Union of California. Among the activities pursued by the
League were research, lecture and information services, and
development of plans for increasing social control. Jeane
Kirkpatrick's name was on the letterhead of the League for
Industrial Democracy until recently.
Intercollegiate
Socialist Society, as stated, was organized by Upton
Sinclair, Jack London and also Clarence Darrow, John Dewey and
others. It's permanent headquarters was at the Rand School of
Social Science in 1908, with the name changed to League for
Industrial Democracy, and whose 1935 president was John Dewey.
73.
Like Kristol, Danel Bell was
subsidized by the CIA through the Congress for Cultural
Freedom of which Bell was a leader. Irving Kristol's partner
Daniel Bell has suggested that we do away with state
boundaries and most local government. That is not surprising
since he was a member of the Institute for American Democracy,
an offshoot of the Anti Defamation League (ADL). 74.
Kristol also co-founded Institute
for Educational Affairs with William
E. Simon in 1978, "financial resources directed
toward sympathetic scholars and the research projects of think
tanks." According to John Saloma, the Institute for
Educational Affairs has dispensed more than $2.5 million in
grants to academics since 1979. 75.
CNP's William
E. Simon is or
was a trustee of the conservative think tank, the Heritage
Foundation.(21) He is president of the Olin Foundation, a
major funder of rightwing groups.(22). He ... was on the
Council for National Policy,... Simon is a member of the
elite, conservative, lay-Catholic group, the Knights of Malta
-- an anticommunist group very active in Central
America.(24) He headed the short-lived Nicaraguan Freedom
Fund, a group founded specifically to provide assistance to
the Nicaraguan contras.(19) He also served on the advisory
committee for AmeriCares 76
,
the major recipient of contra funds from the Nicaraguan
Freedom Fund. AmeriCares not only supported the contras, but
has been implicated in manipulation of the internal politics
of Nicaragua.(25,26) Simon was a board member of the Friends
of the Democratic Center in Central America (PRODEMCA),
another member of the contra-support network.(27) Simon has
been connected with other rightwing groups including the media
watchdog, Accuracy in Media; the think tank, the American
Enterprise Institute; and the lobby group, Committee for the
Free World.(27, 28;) He is a member of the Center for
Strategic and International Studies.
77
He is also a member of the CFR.
For ten years Daniel Bell
worked for CFR's Henry C. Luce at Fortune magazine. In
1969, Irving Kristol was made the Henry R. Luce professor at
New York University. Freedom House's Bookshelf
Program was run by Rex Stout who previously published New
Masses, a Communist Weekly. Nelson Rockefeller gave Irving
Kristol $100,000 through his Commission on Critical Choices
for writing 15 short essays.
National
Affairs, Inc. is the
organization that Kristol runs, which controls The Public
Interest and The National Interest and publishes
The
National Interest and The
Public Interest magazines. Henry Kissinger,
Jeane Kirkpatrick and author Charles Murray are on the
magazines' advisory boards. National
Affairs, Inc. has received more than $4 million from the Bradley
Foundation alone since 1986. 78.
Jeanne Kirkpatrick is
a member of the Trilateral Commission and the CFR. Evron, her
husband was with the OSS, State Department and was Director of
the Office of Intelligence Research. His specialty was
behavioral science. Since 1954, he had been the executive
director of the American Political Science Association.
Reagan's National Security was made up of CFR George P.
Schultz, CFR/T, Henry Kissinger, CFR, William
Casey, CFR/T Casper Weinberger, and CFR Gen. David Jones with
David Rockefeller (Chairman of CFR/T) being an unofficial
advisor.
"El Slavador's...1932...General
Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez crushed a peasant rebellion and
slaughtered 30,000 Salvadorans. "It is a greater crime to
kill an ant that a man, " Hernandez Martinez once said,
"for when a man dies he becomes reincarnated, while an
ant dies forever." El Salvador's contemporary death
squads are heirs to the Hernandez Martinez legacy. Indeed, Jeane
Kirkpatrick praised Hernandez Martinez as a
"hero" in a 1981 paper for the American Enterprise
Institute: "It is said 30,000 persons lost their
lives...To many Salvadoreans the violence of this repression
seems less important than the fact of restored order and the
thirteen years of civil peace that ensued...The traditionalist
death squads that pursue revolutionary activists and and
leaders in contemporary El Salvador call themselves Hernandez
Martinez Brigades, seeking thereby to place themselves in El
Salvador's political tradition and communicate their
purpose."

Smith Richardson
foundation, under President R. Randolph Richardson, made
it's mark by bankrolling an idea. "the foundation has
become the source of funding in the supply-side
revolution...it became the place to go if you have a project
that needs money." In 1975, Richardson asked Irving

Foundation. Nathan Glazer, Kristol's co-editor at The
Public Interest (funded in part by
Richard Scaife) told

well as Robert L. Bartley, his boss at The Wall Street

Irving Kristol wrote, "Though the educational
establishment would rather die that admit it, multiculturalism
is a desperate -- and surely self-defeating -- strategy for
coping with the educational deficiencies, and associated
social pathologies, of young blacks. Did these black students
and their problems not exists, we would hear little of
multiculturalism." ["Neo-Conservativism, The
Autobiography of an Idea, Selected Essays 1949-1995" by
Irving Kristol.] --TFT "92
