Since at least the early 1930 the well funded impetus for disarming the American populace has been driven by a cabal that includes (but is certainly not limited to):
The Ford Foundation
The Carnegie Corporation
The Rockefeller Foundation
The CFR (which is sort of a “Foundation Offspring”)
And as mentioned above, many others.
Currently these groups are funneling their money and support through avenues such as the Soros backed Tides Foundation.
From a philosophical point of view, the origin of the modern movement can be found as early as 1908 in the writings of Dewey and Tufts in their 1908 collection of essays titled “Ethics” in the section Responsibility and Freedom &Rights and Obligations
In short, Dewey and Tufts undertook to redefine the concepts that were the underpinning of all our founding documents. And that included the right to autonomous self-defense and the notion that political legitimacy derives from the “bottom up.”
These progenitors of modern Liberalism were nothing if not Elitists.
“The Tides” is a place. Check it out. It will remove any doubt one might ever have entertained about “elitism”. The funny thing about conspiracy is in reality there is just TOO LITTLE tinfoil.
Do check it out, though. “The Tides”. I don’t know how much of a web presence they have. Probably very little. I do believe it is the most “exclusive” place I have ever seen.
