The present day “Liberal” or “Progressive” movement, owes much, if not most, of its present-day power to the Fabian Society of Britain, and their political offspring, the Fabian Society in the U.S. and its numerous affiliates, past and present. The American left is currently graced by such luminaries as Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, as well as many other politicians, government bureaucrats, judges, “mainstream journalists” of print and television, plus numerous supporters in the entertainment field, among many others,

The
left seems oddly united in purpose, program, and message. This not
accidental, but is the result of careful planning over many years,
aimed at gradually establishing a world socialist government, by
bringing down the United States as a sovereign nation, and making it
instead a borderless unit in a world socialist federation under
central control of a worldwide authority. The end result would likely
be the equivalent of Soviet Communism at its worst, producing
tyranny, poverty, and great loss of human life through murder of
citizens, famine, wars, etc.
[This
would correspond to the end-times Antichrist as described in the Book
of Revelation. It is at root a satanic effort, that seems to be
proceeding according to schedule. If this is the case, it will be
stopped by the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe the
mechanisms necessary for the setting up of the end-time temporary
rule of the Antichrist are already in place to a great extent, but
the further discussion here will focus on secular events which, if
not stopped won't be long in destroying America as a sovereign nation.]
The
Fabian movement, and its soulmate, the organization known as
Americans for Democratic Action, have managed to place selected and
trained individuals in positions of responsibility in government,
arts and letters, and numerous other places of responsibility and
power, starting very modestly, and working mainly through college
professors and friendly politicians, economists and others. Thus the
levers of power are now largely in the hands of socialists, who avoid
calling themselves socialists, for fear of public rejection.
An
early logo of the British Fabians contained a drawing representing a
wolf in sheep's clothing, since that is how they viewed themselves.
They used the words democratic and liberal instead of
socialist. Their plans have been largely successful because few people outside the Fabian
movement knew what was going on, and those who reported on it were
few and not widely read by the British or American people. Most people trust the
authorities and do not bother with a lot of political reading.
I have
been among those who, although having heard of Fabian socialism, and
that it was a group trying to bring about socialism gradually by
peaceful means, had no idea what they have actually accomplished.
We certainly are not reading much about them in the MSM, and they would
probably act offended if you called their ideas socialist.
Conservative news and opinion outlets rarely if ever mention them,
but they actually constitute the greatest threat to America outside
of a nuclear attack.
The
following is a brief list of their goals:
- To undermine American independence and power as a sovereign nation.
- To weaken our economy through large deficit spending and unmanageable debt.
- Through a globalist economic structure, to move American jobs and resources to other countries.
- To increase American foreign aid and get little in return.
- To work toward a more massive welfare state, culminating in global socialism under a strong central authority.
- To promote massive immigration, legal or illegal, i.e. open borders.
- To promote contentious political quarrels that result in civil unrest.
- To avoid harm to socialist or communist countries.
The
current Fabian symbol is no longer a wolf in sheep's clothing, but a
tortoise with the words “When I strike, I strike hard.” And it
seems to be poised to strike harder soon.
The
Fabians, who control the Labour Party in Britain, managed to establish
socialism in the 1940s and came close to wrecking the British economy
and bankrupting the country. By 1950, the people were ready for a
different administration, and were tired and impoverished by the
socialists' attempt at creating a workers' paradise. But of course,
the socialists placed much blame on the American economy, despite the
fact that America had provided them many gifts of money and other
items, although it could not continue to do so. Socialism doesn't
work!
The
early Fabians virtually idolized Stalin and the Soviet Union,
conveniently overlooking the bloodbath of the Russian Revolution and
ongoing atrocities. The Fabians never put up any serious opposition
to communism. Fabian leaders visited Moscow and came back with
glowing reports.
Prominent
Fabians in Britain included Sidney and Beatrice Webb, Clement Atlee,
and Harold Wilson.
Prominent
American Fabians included Dean Acheson, Harry Hopkins, Dean Rusk,
Eleanor Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson, Margaret Mead, Arthur
Schlesinger, Jr., and Walter Lippman, among others, and numerous
“cooperators.” Rose L. Martin has several lists of names in the
appendices of her book Fabian Freeway (see below).
Whatever
their organizational affiliations may be, most leading Democrat
politicians and leftists in general would probably feel at home among
Fabian socialists, and are working, wittingly or not, toward Fabian
goals.
The
obvious reason for the leftists' hysterical hate campaign against
Donald Trump is that he is now the main obstacle to American adoption
of full-on globalism. This will likely continue until Trump is out of
the picture or until Trump prevails and the globalists are defeated.
This will take a political awakening on the part of American patriots
to the dangers, and probably will require a spiritual awakening in
America also. We should pray for President Trump and pray that the
socialists will be defeated.
