A WEEKLY COMMENTARY
Year Twenty-Nine ... Number Twelve ... March 26, 1982
IF MONROE WERE WITH US TODAY
"It was the late Adlai Stevenson who, in a naive statement, said he would campaign for the office of President by trying to 'talk sense to the American people.' The voters responded by voting overwhelmingly for the other guy. Since then, any politican who threatens to talk sense is ordered by his campaign advisers to go lie down and sleep it off. President Reagan has a much more effective approach. His policy seems to be, 'Let's talk nonsense to the American people.' Or, 'When in doubt, confuse them'." So commented Mike Royko, a not-so-conservative columnist for the Field News Service. The rest of his article deals with the confusion that exists in policy making circles. So does a column by Flora Lewis, a New York Times foreign affairs correspondent. She wrote from Paris that "It's hard to remember when there was more confusion in the world about signals from Washington ... The messages from press conferences by Secretary of State Alexander Haig and other statements in recent weeks have seemed so contradictory that there is a tendency among foreign officials to read them according to their own temperament and leanings."
However else we might find fault with the comments of Royko and Lewis, they are not confused in their references to confusion in Washington, in the United States and in the world at large. But they might have added that much of it is planned confusion, created deliberately to keep the people from knowing what is really going on in higher circles. This confusion making is not necessarily confined to the agents of the Power Elite, or to the controlled communications media. There are scores of pressure groups that try to influence policies and confuse issues, for their own purposes. The Washington Post of March 7 lists more than twenty "principal groups seeking to influence U.S. policy and public opinion on Central America." These are a part of the reason why there is so much confusion concerning what's really happening in Central America today. A sampling of these pressure groups includes:
This is just a sampling; but among the most important of "these groups seeking to influence policy and public opinion" is a recently created coalition that was formed at the instigation of David Rockefeller. It is very similar to the Trilateral Commission in that it is composed of three groups having a membership of some 200 corporations that have investments in Latin America. The coalition is called "The American Society" and is headed by one Sam Hayden who also is president of the Rockefeller-slanted "Council of the Americas." In addition to this Council, there is the "Center for Inter-American Relations" and the third side to the triangle is "The Pan-American Society." This "American Society" which is analogous to the Trilateral Commission, has an affiliate that might be considered a Latin American Council on Foreign Relations. It is the previously cited "Caribbean-Central American Action," which is headed by a former State Department official, Peter Johnson. According to The Washington Post, this trilateral-type "The American Society" and its affiliated "Caribbean-Central American Action" that, and we quote, "submitted ideas to the government for President Reagan's recent speech to the OAS [Organization of American States] proposing the dropping of tariff barriers and increased economic aid for the Caribbean and Central America." This was the speech which we mentioned at length in our Report #9 of February 26th. In that address he told the Latin American leaders: "I have already expressed our support for the coming election in El Salvador. We also strongly support the Central American Democratic Committee formed this January by Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador. The United States will work closely with other concerned democracies inside and outside the area to preserve and enhance our common democratic values." However, those common democratic values, when analyzed become common socialistic values.
Hence, our previous administration was greatly disturbed when the people of Chile got rid of a Communist leader and installed a so-called right-wing form of government. Secretary of State Alexander Haig seemed equally disturbed, and virtually speechless when the right-wing military of Guatemala kicked out a left-leaning president and submitted a three-man junta without first telling Haig what was happening. Likewise, in the elections in El Salvador, one now concluded and the really important one still to come, our State Department and its Trilateralist controllers will be exceedingly dismayed if Jose Duarte, the Socialist, should lose to Roberto d'Aubuisson, the right-wing leader. It isn't ever mentioned by our administration or the media that this Duarte they and the Trilateral Commission are backing is a pro-Communist, and a thorough-going Socialist.
In El Salvador, where the constituent assembly elections will have been held, or disrupted and made meaningless by the time this Report is read, there are five major militant parties ranging from Guillermo Manuel Ungo's Revolutionary Front on the left, to Roberto d'Aubuisson's Nationalist Republican Alliance on the right. The Communist Party is officially outlawed but its front man and party platform bearer is Ungo, who has boycotted the elections, tried by terrorist tactics to prevent them, and will say they are corrupt and meaningless. On the other hand, d'Aubuisson campaigned actively, had the support of local businessmen and farmers. More or less in the middle politically between Ungo and d'Aubuisson is Jose Napoleon Duarte, junta leader who is favored by our Administration and the Rocekfeller Cabal. How Duarte came to be a leader in El Salvador is interesting. In 1972 the Communist Party as such was outlawed officially, and Ungo was his vice presidential running mate. Thus, as was reported by The Review of the News, "Duarte and Ungo were the de facto candidates of the Salvadoran Communist Party (PCS)." They lost that election to Colonel Molina, and Duarte promptly staged a coup, which failed, and Duarte fled into exile in Venezuela. He returned later, was able to gain control of the government through a coalition of left-wing parties. President Jimmy Carter in his "human rights crusade" recognized and adopted Duarte, and the Reagan Administration inherited him. Duarte has attempted to install a radical socialist program which includes the usual agrarian reforms, nationalization of the banks, state control of agricultural exports, etc.
Although Duarte ran for elections on a Communist platform in 1972, and is a confirmed and dedicated Socialist, both our Administration and the Rockefeller coalition have done and are doing their utmost to keep Duarte in control of El Salvador, in order that he may establish his program of Socialization. This may seem strange to those who still do not or refuse to comprehend that there is an alliance between the International Bankers and the Communist Inner Circle. Here is a current example of how this works:
David Rockefeller recently completed a 10-nation tour of the Communist capitals in Africa. After conferring with Communist leaders in Angola, he went to Salsbury in Zimbabwe. There, according to the International Herald Tribue: "David Rockefeller, whose name is the epitome of capitalism, has said that he does not think that African Marxism is a threat to the United States, or to American business interests." Rockefeller said that "Dealing with socialist or Marxist countries does not cause any problems at all." To the statement that Rockefeller's name is "the epitome of capitalism," Globescan gave the perfect response:
| Mr. Rockefeller is not a capitalist. Bankers do not produce capital. They only lend capital produced by others. The Supra-Bankers' way of using the capital of others is exactly like the methods of the Socialists -- both take and use the capital produced by others in order to increase their power and profits. |
Rockefeller made his stand quite clear. He said: "I don't think an international bank such as ours ought to try to set itself up as a judge of what kind of government a country wishes to have. We have found we can deal with any kind of government, provided they are orderly and responsible." If this were a true statement, then one must wonder why Rockefeller has judged and controlled so many governments -- including our own -- through the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, and the newly formed "American Society," which is attempting to judge and control El Salvador and other Latin Nations?
Perhaps as a reward for what Rockefeller says, or perhaps he can do no other if he is to remain in the White House, President Reagan gave David Rockefeller and Henry Kissinger formal appointments to the National Security Council "Board on East Bloc Credit"!! Lawrence Patterson wrote: "No doubt about it now -- the Carter puppet from Plains has been replaced by a suave sophisticated puppet -- who will fool Americans 10 times more effectively than could Jimmy Carter!!"
We have attempted to illustrate how the Supra-Banker - Socialist Alliance has worked, and is working. Behind this Alliance, which we call a Conspiracy, there always seems to be a plan to create chaos within a country, in order to convert it either to Carrot Stick Socialism or Big Stick Socialism. The plan worked in Cuba, it worked in Nicaragua, it is working in El Salvador. Caribbean dominoes will continue to fall unless we finally awake to the realization that as a Constitutional, free enterprise, representative Republic, we cannot compromise or concede to political coalitions on the part of either the International Bankers or the International Communists.
Once before in our comparatively short history we were faced with a similar situation. The War of 1812 had been fought primarily as a result of alien efforts to destroy American business and industry, and create sufficient chaos to force our government to submit to the tyranny of the then European based International Bankers. As a result of that war, our still small Nation of only 12 million souls had been weakened financially, and our military establishment diminished and almost non-existant. At such a time, the newly independent nations to the south of us were being threatened with an alien takeover by a coalition of European monarchies including Spain, France, Russia, Prussia and Austria. We were in a poor position to do anything about it, President James Madison was worried, but determined. In a message on the State of the Union delivered to Congress on December 2, 1823, he spoke out boldly, pronounced the words that later would come to be known as the Monroe Doctrine. Although it never became a treaty or an official document, that Monroe Doctrine became one of the most important statments ever made by an American President. It was honored by all Nations, enforced when dishonored. In his historic address President Monroe made four basic points:
