1834
England rewrites the Poor Law declaring public assistance is no longer a
human right.
The charity organization movement spreads rapidly
throughout England.
1865 Before the Civil War
amelioration of social ills falls on the individual.
The Lady
Bountiful take care of the downtrodden, destitute and cripples as a matter
of religious
stewardship or ethical
humanism.
After the Civil War new charity organizations emerge to
provide services beyond the scope of Lady Bountiful.
Local
organizations, headed by community political and economic elites, seek
systematic delivery of "social improvement" to the deserving and worthy victims
of calamity and misfortune.
They concern themselves with economic
poverty: pauperism,
family disruption,
child labor,
poor housing and
lack of recreational
opportunities.
They are blind to the
foundational social problems
illuminating reformers.
They chose
to ignore the concentration of wealth in the
hands of the robber barons;
blind to the power of
wealth rigging elections, purchasing
legislation.
1872 A
transportation hub at the end of the the Erie Canal between Lake Erie and Lake
Ontario, Buffalo has become a large wealthy city of 115,000.
Young
Men’s Christian Association in Buffalo treats the orphaned newsboys
and bootblacks who work and live on the street to a sumptuous Thanksgiving
dinner.
Atlas
of the City of Buffalo, Erie Co., New York
1874 Conference of Boards of Public Charities
established.
1875 Germantown neighborhood of
Philadelphia establishes a charitable society modeled after the London
society.
1877 Englishman Reverend SH Gurteen
having studied the London Charity Organisation Society is instrumental
in the creation of the Charity Organization Society established in
Buffalo.
1905 National Conference,
executives of 14 charity organization societies agree formally to exchange
records, information, and suggestions.
1906 Russel
Sage dies leaving his wife $71 million to subsidize charity and she founds
the Russel Sage Foundation with $15 million.
Russell Sage
Foundation involvement in ideological production begins.
Sage
is blind to any alternative to wealth hoarding and funds many opponents of self
sufficient community to contain the ideology of community.
There is
little sense of collective obligation for the "unfortunates".
Carnegie, Russell Sage, and Rockefeller chose to
bring resources to bear on social science ideology formation in the public
sector.
Foundation managers realize
the inherent conflict in the
marketplace of ideas in a
democratic society turning rapidly to industrialization.
Concentrated wealth coexists with
widespread poverty and
alienation in a democracy that
gives the teeming masses
a tiny voice in government.
As representatives of capital,
they clearly see the
potential threat posed to control of the economy by popular organized
community groups with alternative ideological
interpretations of power sharing arrangements.
They began to
experiment with methods of producing, distributing, and, indeed,
imposing an ideology justifying
industrial capital concentration.
Foundation managers are tasked
with abolishing any competing ideology.
They provide financial support
those with the "proper way of thinking."
Laissez-faire ethos allows
ad hoc amelioration to those, through no
obvious moral failing, who are
unable to compete in the Social Darwinian
struggle.
Through an arrangement with Charities and the
Commons, (The Survey, a periodical issued by the New York Charity
Organization Society), along with the newly-created Russell Sage
Foundation, the Exchange Branch is formed.
1907 Russell Sage Foundation takes over responsibility
for the Exchange Branch, creating the Charity Organization
Department.
Sage runs surveys and disseminates sets of ideas
about how to deal with the problems of urban poverty through the
mitigation of the eyesores of city
life.
Sage establishes the social model for
professional social
workers.
A foundational aspect of Sage is all research
remains within parameters which require
the public welfare to be served
while private wealth is
preserved within a framework that already defines the relationships between
the development of industrial production,
distribution of wealth, the
relation of capital to
labor and the relation of private
capital to the State.
After surveys are
completed social scientists develop predictive capabilities.
1910 Foundations begin the
systematic shaping of
ideology.
The exploitation of the technical developments making
industrialization possible depends on a landless,
polyglot, urban proletariat whose only stake in existing social
arrangements is an inadequate hourly wage.
The resulting conflict
between capital and labor flares into violence of such proportions that these
struggles are called labor wars and treated, with
armed troops and martial
law, as civil
insurrections.
The
emerging role of the farming hinterland as an internal colony - a
market for manufactured
goods supplying cheap food
and fiber for
an urbanized labor force -
gave rise to years of
regional opposition to the centralizing thrust of
eastern finance capital.
The foundations subsidize the
manufacture and distribution
of an ideology with the intent of
creating a consuming
public for their subsidized wares.
McNamara brothers, leaders in the
Structural Ironworkers Union, dynamite the Los Angeles Times
building, killing twenty people.
1912 William
Howard Taft proposed the creation of a nine-person investigative committee
called the Commission on Industrial Relations.
April 23, 1915 Commission on Industrial Relations files
the Final Report.
Frank Walsh denounces the foundations support
for social science research as
social scientists working
for foundations have a proclivity for gathering facts to support the predefined
position of their sponsors.
Walsh Commission raises the
question as to whether foundations
endowed by great
capitalists can even produce objective research of collective
ideology.
The Final Report suggests variables have not been fully
explored.
1917 Buffalo charity societies work
together to form the first joint fundraising effort which evolves into the
Community Chest, and then later into the United
Way.
Publicity suggests ad hoc volunteer work in the national
charity movement directed by
social service
professionals will solve the
social ills of the day.
1924 Social
Science Research Council founded to act as an intermediary conduit of
distribution of Carnegie, Ford
and Rockefeller
foundation funds to smaller charities with the proper
industrial relations attitude to
circumvent identification
with capital concentration ideology.
"In sum, the foundations came
to identify ideology
manufacture as a major purpose
underlying resource deployment.
Ideology creation was joined to
the pragmatic solution of
specific problems.
This resulted in three related but distinct modes
of ideology manufacture.
First,
ideologies of practice
arose out of the confrontation and
amelioration of actual, concrete social problems within
industrializing capitalism.
This occurred, for example, in
social work.
Second,
ideologies of
technique allow the energies of intellectual workers
to rationalize solutions to technical problems within existing social
structures.
Such was the case in
academic economics.
Third,
ideologies of social
structure emerge to create a political
economy, midway between the extremes of
laissez-faire capitalism
and socialism.
Typical producers included university-based sociologists and
Protestant theologians
sympathetic to, but not deeply involved in the "Social Gospel."
As
these three modes of ideology production create separate ideological content,
the foundations ended up subsidizing an overall ideology with two main
characteristics: (1) it is
aggressively
pragmatic and intellectually
inconsistent, while (2) consistently defending concentration
of wealth.
Foundations were not concerned with
theoretical elegance;
they sponsor a tactical ideology
whose very lack of
structure gave strategic
advantage by rendering meaningful critiques extremely difficult." - Sheila
Slaughter
This is the foundation of the Cold War against
any human community that does not fit tightly
within the parameters defined by the
Foundations.
1953 The Foundation
series, a science fiction book series written by Isaac Asimov as a series of
short stories has been published in three collections - Foundation,
Foundation and Empire, and Second Foundation.
Using
statistical laws of mass action Hari Seldon spends his life developing a theory
of psychohistory and a new very effective mathematical sociology.
Seldon devises a plan by which "the onrushing mass of events must be
deflected just a little" to limit a galaxy wide industrial civilization
collapse.
A key feature of Seldon's theory, which has proved influential
in real-world social science, is an uncertainty or incompleteness principle:
if a population gains knowledge of its predicted behavior, its
self-aware
collective actions become unpredictable to the social
engineers.
"By most accounts, that
father-son relationship has been characterized as one of deep, mutual
respect.
Despite his almost inconceivable success, the iconic
multibillionaire son never totally eclipsed his father’s extraordinary
civic and cultural record.
It may also come as a surprise that the most
exciting item currently on his active agenda does not involve law, computers,
science or social justice, but the dots
connect." - Stuart Glascock |

Amnesty
International projects itself as the watchdog on human rights worldwide
with the stated mission to campaign for "a world in which every person enjoys
all of the human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and other international human rights instruments."
However,
lesser known is the fact that Amnesty International was created by
British Intelligence for intelligence gathering to carry out social engineering
of targeted nations critical of the British Empire.
Amnesty
International was involved in not only the cover-up of torture and regime
change by British agents but also in sparking a war. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of the
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
