Most of you are aware, I think, of what Norman Dodd, the Research Director, for the Reece Committee, Congressional Committee investigating the Tax-Exempt Foundations, was told in 1953 by Rowan Gaither, President of the Ford Foundation.  Gaither told him words to the effect that “they” the foundations, received their instructions from the White House (at that time President Eisenhower), and that the instructions were to use their tax-exempt money to change America so it could be comfortably merged with the Soviet Union.  That is what is happening right now, although the merger is part of a bigger scheme (UN Agenda 21) and exchanges with all communist countries and others on their way to full-fledged communism, This is the goal of  Lenin, Stalin, and others.   Click on following link for superb interview Edward Griffin gave Norman Dodd regarding this subject:

The plan has been surreptitiously put in under the guise of REGIONALISM which is COMMUNISM , but most Americans don’t have a clue about that.

THE DAILY WORLD OF NOVEMBER 8, 1975 CARRIED A VERY INTERESTING ARTICLE ENTITLED “Planning Is Socialism’s Trademark” by Morris Zeitlin. The Daily World (newspaper of the Communist Party USA) was formerly known as The Daily Worker and was founded in 1924. The importance of this article lies in its blatant admission that regionalism, which is gradually becoming the accepted method of unelected governance in the United States (unelected councils and task forces, consolidation,  participatory democracy, public-private partnerships, etc.) is the form of government used in democratic socialist and communist countries. The following are excerpts from this November 8,1975 article in the Communist Daily World: Cities in industrially advanced countries develop complex economic, social and political interaction. In this process, major cities tend to consolidate neighboring smaller cities and settlements into metropolitan regions. Rationally, metropolitan regions should constitute governmental units having comprehensive planning and administrative powers within their boundaries. 

In our country (the United States), rival capitalist groups, jealously guarding their
special prerogatives, have rigidly maintained the traditional boundaries of states and counties while national economic and social development has created metropolitan regions that overlap those boundaries. We have no regional government and no comprehensive regional planning to speak of. Regional government and planning remain concepts our urban scholars and planners have long advocated in vain….
In socialist countries, metropolitan regions enjoy metropolitan regional government
and comprehensive planning. Of the many regions on the vast territory of the Soviet Union, the Moscow Region commands special attention, for it has been, since the 1917 Revolution, the country’s economic and political center.
The economic and functional efficiencies and the social benefits that comprehensive national, regional and city planning make possible in socialist society explain the Soviet Union’s enormous and rapid economic and social progress. Conversely, our profit-oriented ruling capitalist class makes comprehensive social and economic planning impossible, causing waste and chaos and dragging the entire nation into misery and suffering as its rule
deteriorates and declines.

And here, again, is the article in The New York Herald Tribune, 1959 regarding U.S. Governors going to the Soviet Union, etc., etc.

Get rid of ALL the Governors who are behind this.  We wouldn’t have this agenda, or all the other agreements with the Soviet Union, including the ones signed in 1985 by Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev to merge the two education systems, and Carnegie Corp and the Soviet Academy of Science, to develop computer software in critical thinking for early elementary school children,   without their instigation and connivance over the years.Please forward the text of this 1959 article to your lists.Here is some history to ponder, from 1959:Invitation to Soviet “Governors”, ROSCOE DRUMMOND From Washington” The Times Herald, 8/7/1959  YES, 1959!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Copyright 1959,  New York Herald Tribune, Inc. “San Juan, P.R.  The nine-member executive committee of the U.S. governors, who have just reported to President Eisenhower on their own tour of Russia, are arranging to invite The Prime Minister of the 16 Soviet Republics to attend and take part in the 1960 Governors’ Conference. “It is evident that the governors strongly endorse the imminent exchange of visits between Premier Khrushchev and President Eisenhower, but they believe this burgeoning East-West exchange needs to include officials from all levels of government. “The plan now is to send invitations from the American governors to Soviet ‘governors’ who are the chief executive officers of the Soviet Republics and with all of whom Gov. Leroy Colins of Florida,, Gov. Robert Meyner of New Jersey, Gov. Luther Hodges of Norh Carolina, and their colleagues. conferred at length last month. “The formal action to extend these invitations will either be taken by the governors at their session here or left to the executive committee to work out. “The governors are discussing this project with representatives of the State Department and the White House as they did before they undertook their own trip this summer.  In the wake of the Khrushchev-Eisenhower exchange, there is no doubt that Washington will approve. “The intention is that attendance at the next Governors’ Conference shall be only a part of the hospitality to be arranged for the top officials of the Soviet Republics many of whom will be the political leaders of the Soviet Union in years to come.  What the inviting  Governors have in mind is: VISIT STATES “A visit by the prime ministers, either as a group or separately, to as many states as possible and at least to all sections of the country. “A full day’s participation at the Governors’ Conference during which there would be a joint discussion of common problems–housing, health, old age care, etc. “An invitation to attend as observers both the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions so they may see how a democracy picks its presidential candidates. “This plan reflects the intention of the governors’ executive committee to implement their own appeal to the President that ‘a greatly expanded program of exchange visits, particularly at the middle and local levels of government, would be highly desirable.’ “In his address as chairman, Gov. Collins told the conference that ‘what the Soviets do and what we do toward relieving the anxieties (of the cold war) and assisting aspirations around the world will determine whether the world community successfully meets the challenges or survival…The states must be partners and co-workers in this common undertaking if we are to succeed.’ GOODWILL RESERVOIR “The reports which the governors made to their colleagues on what they found in Russia were realistic.  While they noted the gap between the friendly sentiment of the Soviet people and the policies of the Kremlin, they were impressed by the ‘reservoir of goodwill’ they found on every hand. “They believe that an early visit to the U.S. of their Soviet counterparts would carry forward whatever gains might be made as a result of the Kozlov-Nixon and Khrushchev-Eisenhower visits this year.”" Copyright 1959 New York Herald Tribune Inc.
