Show The Birch Log Fabian Destruction when President Nixon confirmed con-firmed in 1971 that he was "now a Keynesian in economics," he was admitting what many American Amer-ican liberals had never been bold enough to tell us about themselves. them-selves. Yet the "overturning" of our society along Fabian lines is proceeding. England is on the skids because of socialism. Americans who might be tempted to smirk at the financial woes of the Fabians Fa-bians who caused it ought to look instead to what is happening to their own country. As one brutally brutal-ly frank American observer recently re-cently put it: "Move over, England; En-gland; we're right behind!" 1976 The John Birch Society Features by John F. McManua Belmont, Massachusetts A remarkable re-markable advertisement appeared ap-peared in the July 1 issue of the Guardian, a daily newspaper in Manchester, England. Entitled "Fabian Appeal," the ad seeks contributions for the work of the Fabian Society, which admits ad-mits that it is now endangered by a "shortage of money as a result of inflation." If a man who had just slaughtered slaugh-tered all the hens in the henhouse hen-house were to bemoan the sudden sud-den shortage of eggs, your response re-sponse might be less than sympathetic. sym-pathetic. It is for precisely the same reason that the Fabian advertisement ad-vertisement is remarkable. For it is Fabian policies that have caused England's sorry plight, including most especially its severe inflation. For the Fabian Society to seek help to counter the ravages of inflation is like the hen killer asking to be fed eggs so that he will have the1 strength to kill more hens. The Fabian Society England's Fabian Society was founded in 1884 for the purpose of making England a socialist nation. Right from its inception, the chief difference between it and the Communist movement has been simply one of method, for the goal of socialism is common com-mon to both. The Fabians have sought to achieve socialism through deceit, employing mostly most-ly academic and intellectual deceivers. de-ceivers. The Communists, of course, have preferred wars and revolutions, but each has always openly admired the other. Early Fabians Beatrice and Sidney Webb saw their writings translated into the Russian language lan-guage by an admiring Lenin. The Webbs even wrote a book praising the Communist takeover take-over of Russia. Well-known playwright George Bernard Shaw, also a Fabian leader, exposed ex-posed the Communist-Fabian informal alliance when he wrote: "I am a Communist, though not a member of the so-called Communist Com-munist Party." In his book, An Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism, Shaw wrote that those who refused to accept socialism "might possibly be killed in a kindly manner." Like the Communists based in Russia, the Fabians have never been content to carry out their destruction in their own. country. Fabian influence spread into the United States as long ago as 1905 with the establishment estab-lishment of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society at Harvard University. Other Fabian organizations organi-zations in America are the League for Industrial Democracy Democ-racy (LID) and the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA). Fabian influences virtually control con-trol the Democratic Party and are obvious in the Republican Party as well. Keynesianism Fabianism Economist John Maynard Keynes is one Fabian who had a hand in the socialization of both England and the United States. His "successes" overseas led to his acceptance in America, beginning be-ginning as an advisor in the Roosevelt Administration. Keynes knew what inflation was (an increase in the quantity of money) and he advocated policies that would cause it at every turn, such as deficit spending and unbacked currency. curren-cy. Perhaps his most famous statement was: "Lenin was certainly cer-tainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency." And |
