Rockefeller Private School in Manhattan Called the Lincoln School
John D. Rockefeller. In 1917, when his grandchildren reached school age, he did not enroll them in the public schools his money had funded. He built them their own school to be educated. A private school in Manhattan called the Lincoln School. Small classes, real teachers, children allowed to think. The document explaining why names what kind of person American schools were funded to control and produce.
Rockefeller’s Right-Hand Man, Frederick T. Gates
1906, an office paid for by Standard Oil. A former Baptist preacher named Frederick T. Gates, Rockefeller‘s right-hand man, picks up a pen, and he writes one sentence that will decide what every American child is allowed to become for the next hundred years.
“In our dreams, we have limitless resources, and the people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hand.” Read it slowly, he is not done. “We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers, or men of learning, or of science. We are not to raise up among them authors, orators, poets, or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor will we cherish even the humbler ambition to raise up from among them lawyers, doctors, preachers, statesmen, of whom we now have ample supply.”
Rockefeller and Carnegie vs American Government
28 billion dollars. Between 1896 and 1920, the 2 private foundations Rockefeller and Carnegie together spent more money building and controlling the American compulsory school system than the United States federal government. Two private foundations, funded by an oil monopoly and a steel monopoly, outspent the United States government on the education of its own children for 24 straight years. That is not philanthropy. That is engineering
National Education Association Warning of Rockefeller and Carnegie Private Foundations Control
1915, The National Education Association, the teachers union itself, passed a formal resolution. Resolution reads, in part, “We view with alarm the activity of the Rockefeller and Carnegie private foundations, agencies not in any way responsible to the people, and their efforts to control the policies of our state education institutions.” That is teachers telling the country that two private foundations were quietly controlling state education policy. 110 years ago. Nobody listened.
Two years later, it got worse. In 1917, Senator Chamberlain of Oregon rose in the United States Senate and warned the country directly. “In two generations, they can change the minds of the people to make them conform to the cult of Rockefeller or the cult of Carnegie rather than the fundamental principles of American democracy.”
Finally Congress Investigates
36 years later, Congress finally investigated. The Reese Committee of the House of Representatives concluded the Rockefeller and Carnegie private foundations had financed practices incompatible with the fundamental concepts of our constitution. Nobody acted on it.
