Axis of Evil: Another Manhattan Institute Slogan in Service to the NWO by
Robert Lederman
The man who coined GW's now infamous slogan, "Axis of Evil" was a senior
fellow at the Manhattan Institute (MI) before joining the Bush
administration. He's just been dropped from the Bush payroll according to
the Washington Times [see article below]. MI also coined the slogan,
"Compassionate Conservatism" for GW, who publicly claims the
Rockefeller-funded organizations' influence on his thinking is, "second only
to the Holy Bible".
What is the Manhattan Institute?
MI is a right wing think tank founded in 1978 by William Casey,
Bush/Reagan's CIA director. Following WWII Casey helped bring thousands of
former Nazis involved in eugenics and the Holocaust to the U.S. As CIA
director he later funded bin Laden and Co. with billions in arms, terrorist
training and cash and was also a key player in arming the Contras.
MI is funded by JP Morgan/Chase bank (owned by David Rockefeller) and by
pharmaceutical companies (Pfizer and Lilly) directly connected to
Rockefeller, Bush senior and many of the current Bush administration
officials. Bush senior was director of Eli Lilly in the late 70's. Bush
Budget director Mitch Daniels was also a Lilly senior executive. Donald
Rumsfeld formerly headed Searle Pharmaceuticals. All of these companies
depend in large part for their products on research originally done by the
IG Farben chemical cartel in Nazi Germany.
Rockefeller's Chase bank was among Hitler's biggest U.S. supporters before
and during WWII. The Rockefeller families' Standard Oil of NJ was half owner
of IG Farben - the industrial base of the entire Third Reich. GW Bush's
grandfather, Prescott Bush and Prescott's father-in-law George Herbert
Walker (who GW is named after) were Wall Street bankers whose fortune was
made operating and financing shipping companies, banks and steel foundries
for the Nazi regime.
MI's most famous alumni after Rudy Giuliani is Charles Murray author of "The
Bell Curve" a modern classic of eugenics. The Bell Curve popularized the
idea that Blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence to Whites as a
justification for eliminating welfare, increasing so-called quality of life
arrests, limiting parole, taking children from Black families etc. Murray
was a paid consultant on Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson's welfare program
and is a spokesman for the Federalist Society, which has direct ties to a
number of current U.S. Supreme Court judges.
Thompson's #2 man on welfare reform was Jason Turner, who Rudy Giuliani
later hired to head up NYC's welfare reform. Turner actually quoted the
motto from the gates of Auschwitz to explain Giuliani's workfare policy and
was later forced to apologize. Rudy Giuliani also claims to get all of his
ideas directly from MI. Many of his policy ideas are directly based on
Murray's books.
MI has spearheaded a decades long effort to make the goals of eugenics
respectable again. The Bush family, the Harriman family (the Wall Street
business partners of Bush in financing Hitler) and the Rockefeller family
are the elite of the American eugenics movement.
Axis of Evil. You'll find the center of that axis right here in NYC at the
Manhattan Institute.

'Axis of evil' writer leaves Bush's staff author: Robert Stacy McCain
"David Frum, credited with authoring the headline "axis of evil" phrase in
President Bush's State of the Union address, has left the White House
speechwriting staff.
"It has been the experience of a lifetime and it's been the honor of a
lifetime to be here during this presidency," Mr. Frum said in a telephone
interview yesterday. "I leave with nothing but the highest regard for all of
my colleagues."...Mr. Frum specifically denied commentator Robert Novak's
claim, made yesterday on CNN's "Inside Politics," that he was ousted from
the speechwriting team because the president was angered by an e-mail from
Mr. Frum's wife that became public this month.
Author Danielle Crittenden e-mailed friends after the Jan. 29 State of
the Union address expressing "wifely pride" that her husband had contributed
the "axis of evil" phrase. Mrs. Crittenden's e-mail was published in an
Internet journal by writer Timothy Noah...As for his role in the "axis of
evil" speech, Mr. Frum said: "I contributed language to the president's
speech. That is what I was paid to do. But what matters is not the language
that is proposed to the president; what matters is the language the
president decides to use. ... The words become important only because the
president uses them." He praised Mr. Bush, saying, "I began [the White
House job] thinking he would be a good president, but I go thinking he's
proven himself to be one of the great presidents of American history."
Eugenics: More alive than ever by Robert Lederman
robert.lederman@worldnet.att.net
http://baltech.org/lederman/ (extensive documentation to support the
statements in this essay will be found at the website)
Contrary to the commonly-held belief that eugenics programs ceased at the
end of WWII, this pseudo-science has merely changed it's terminology and
undergone a public relations makeover, retooled by think tanks like the
Manhattan Institute. Today, eugenics is alive and well under the guise of su
ch seemingly unrelated things as The Human Genome Project, genetic
alteration of the food supply, U.N. population control measures, mandatory
vaccinations, pesticide misuse, welfare reform, school vouchers, efforts to
institute a national I.D., the war on drugs and the ever-expanding prison
industrial complex.
Nowhere has the new eugenics - or as it was nicknamed by the Manhattan
Institute "compassionate conservatism" - become public policy as thoroughly
as in New York City under the administration of Rudy Giuliani.
Modern eugenics incorporates racial profiling, deliberately exposing people
to massive amounts of pollutants and experimental vaccines, government
agencies distributing drugs in order to create addiction and feed the prison
system, denying equal educational opportunities and then claiming the
resultant lack of achievement among targeted groups "proves" their lower
intelligence, the massive over-prescription of pharmaceutical drugs and
antidepressants, deliberately infecting people with diseases and any other
governmental or corporate policies intended to reduce the fertility,
lifespan or chances of success of specific groups of people.
Eugenics is practiced in many nations today and depending on who is behind
it the targeted groups can be Blacks, Jews, Muslims, Africans, gays, the
poor or any one else those in power wish to downsize or eliminate. Hard as
it may be for most Americans to comprehend, the entire population of this
nation is increasingly finding itself subject to eugenics-based policies.
If this sounds far-fetched ask yourself where issues such as rationing
medical care and the so-called right-to-die are headed? Americans may
someday find themselves asked to die for their country for economic rather
than national defense purposes. Nowhere else on earth did the ideas of
eugenics reach such a complete marriage to a government's policies as in
Nazi Germany. While Nazi Germany may have been defeated, many of it's ideas
are alive and well and have found a welcome reception here in the U.S.
In a sense, the thousands of actual Nazis that were brought to the U.S.
following WWII by men such as CIA director and founder of the Manhattan
Institute, William Casey, were coming home to the source of the eugenics
policies that made Nazi Germany infamous. In our nation's medical, military
and educational establishments they found like-minded people of enormous
influence who were more than ready to make use of their experience. Most
importantly, they found unlimited funding from the Rockefeller family and it
's maze of philanthropies, medical research institutions and media outlets.
I tend to focus to a great degree on the Manhattan Institute, and for good
reason. It is funded by Rockefeller's JP Morgan Chase bank, which admits it
enthusiastically helped Hitler through much of WWII. Rockefeller's Standard
Oil was half-owner of IG Farben, the industrial powerhouse of Nazi Germany.
Among it's claims to fame, I.G. Farben was the builder and operator of
Auschwitz and forty other slave labor death camps. Bayer, BASF and numerous
other pharmaceutical and chemical companies are subsidiaries of I.G. Farben.
Both Rudy Giuliani and GW Bush claim they get their ideas directly from the
Manhattan Institute. MI is responsible for the academic reputation of
Charles Murray, author of the Bell Curve, a modern classic of eugenics which
advances the idea that Blacks are genetically inferior as a justification to
cut government social programs. Most of the research the Bell Curve cites
was funded by the Pioneer Fund, an openly pro-eugenics and pro-Nazi group
with extensive ties to the entire white supremacy movement.
Murray wrote The Bell Curve during eight years as MI's top resident scholar.
His ideas and works are promoted to this day on their website and formed the
basis of Giuliani's welfare reform, homelessness, quality of life, school
voucher and privatization campaigns. GW Bush claims MI's influence on his
ideas is second only to the Bible.
In short, we now live in a society almost as eugenically-oriented as Nazi
Germany was. There are two significant differences. One is that our eugenics
policy is not directed specifically at Jews but tends to focus, at least for
now, on Blacks, Native Americans, Latinos and impoverished Whites.
The second difference is that our eugenics policy uses terminology which
unlike that used in Nazi Germany never acknowledges what it is really about.
Imagine a Nazi propaganda campaign intended to convince Jews that plans for
their extermination were based on compassion and you'd have the situation we
are now witnessing today.
To fight eugenics in light of this reality we must first overcome two very
mistaken ideas. The first is that this pseudo-science ended during WWII.
The second is that having great personal freedom, Americans will never be
forced to submit to such an agenda. If we don't wake up soon, we may be the
last generations of Americans to hold these mistaken notions.

"The fund raising arm of the Free Europe Committee [a CIA front] was The
Crusade for Freedom for which a young actor named Ronald Reagan was a
leading spokesman and publicist. The Crusade for Freedom was used to launder
money to support a program run by Bill Casey, the future CIA director,
called the International Refugee Committee in New York [aka International
Rescue Committee], which allegedly coordinated the exfiltration of Nazis
from Germany to the United States where they were expected to assist the
government in fighting Communism...[pg 142]...The Ford Foundation gave
$500,000 to Bill Casey's International Rescue Committee and substantial
grants to another CIA front, the World Assembly of Youth...the convergence
between the Rockefeller billions and the U.S. government exceeded even that

NY Daily News 12/7/98 Chase Banked On Nazis - Report "The New York-based
bank controlled by the Rockefeller family closed Jewish accounts even before
the Germans ordered them to do so and did business with the Nazis while they
were sending Jews to the gas chambers, Newsweek magazine reports in this
week's edition. And while the U.S. was at war with the Nazis, Chase also
apparently helped German banks do business with their overseas branches, the
magazine reported...The relationship between Chase and the Nazis apparently
was so cozy that Carlos Niedermann, the Chase branch chief in Paris, wrote
his supervisor in Manhattan that the bank enjoyed "very special esteem" with
top German officials and "a rapid expansion of deposits." Niedermann's
letter was written in May 1942 - five months after the Japanese bombed Pearl
Harbor and the U.S. also went to war with Germany...And subsidiaries of Ford
and General Motors have been accused of forcing thousands of Jews, Poles and
others to work as slave laborers."

"The Manhattan Institute clearly has become the force, and there is no
progressive force to counter it. There isn't even a debate.' "The mayor has
a very close working relationship with the Manhattan Institute," Giuliani's
communications director, Crystine Lategano, said...Another sign of how much
New York has changed: The most influential source of political ideas is a
conservative think tank that was founded by [William Casey] Margaret
Thatcher's mentor and Ronald Reagan's spymaster."
The Hard Heart of Poverty, 4/3/2001 Washington Post "His name is Myron
Magnet. Eight years ago he published a book called "The Dream and the
Nightmare," which George W. Bush has called the most influential book --
aside from the Bible -- that he's ever read. The new president's chief
political strategist, Karl Rove, has declared "The Dream and the Nightmare"
a "road map" to Bush's attitudes on the role of government. Magnet, 56, has
also written columns defining compassionate conservatism for the Wall Street
Journal and for City Journal, the provocative urban policy magazine he edits
for the neoconservative Manhattan Institute...Giuliani, who says he often
has drawn on Magnet's "searching" writings, goes further: A "tyranny of
political correctness rules intellectual life" in New York, he says. "It's
like the Spanish Inquisition."
"Education and Welfare: Meeting the Challenge A Message from CCI Chairman,
Mayor Stephen Goldsmith [CCI is a division of Manhattan Institute] America
is in the midst of an urban renaissance...CCI's April conference "Next Steps
in Welfare Reform" highlighted just how far we've come. The conference
brought together public officials like Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson [GW
Bush's Sec. of Health and Human Welfare] and scholars like Dr. Charles
Murray [author of The Bell Curve] to discuss how governments and private
groups have reduced dependency and increased self-sufficiency...Fifteen
years after the Manhattan Institute published Charles Murray's landmark
study of American welfare policy, Losing Ground, the presentations showed
that ideas once seen as radical now form the mainstream of the welfare debate."

Book review: "The Journal That Saved the City"
http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/_pi-the_journal_that_saved.htm "The
City Journal [MI's quarterly magazine] is important not only because it has
played a key role in the urban renaissance of recent years. It is important,
too, for the lessons it provides other think-tanks. These institutions, some
of them based in Washington and focused on one aspect or another of national
domestic and foreign policy, others concentrating on regional affairs or, as
with the Manhattan Institute, on policy at the state and local level, are
rapidly replacing our universities as homes for scholars who seek to escape
the stultifying politically correct atmosphere of campus life.
In the case of the Manhattan Institute, we have it to thank not only for the
City Journal but for supporting the research of such leading scholars as
Charles Murray, whose Losing Ground has gone from a shockingly radical
prescription for welfare reform to mainstream public policy in a few short
years...To read, or in this reviewer's case, to reread the 35 articles
reproduced here is to be reminded of why the City Journal has become the
bible of New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose annual "State of the City
Speeches" so closely follow City Journal articles that Magnet could easily
win a plagiarism suit. "

Reverend Herbert H. Lusk II, the former "Praying Tailback" for the

Goldsmith, the ex-mayor of Indianapolis, who is Dubya's main domestic-policy

Billings, Montana, that private, faith-based groups, such as his People for
People, are better purveyors of social-welfare services than government
welfare agencies.
"The fact is, we are there_we do it better, and we do it cheaper," Reverend
Lusk said. In the background on Sunday, thundering the gospel of the black
church, was a mass choir. After an inspiring musical opening, the social
scientists from the Manhattan Institute rolled out their charts and reported
that kids who go to church in poor neighborhoods do fewer drugs and thus,
churches, mosques, and synagogues "should be supported as uniquely qualified
agencies of social control that matter a great deal in the lives of
adolescents in America's most disorganized and impoverished communities."
>From Accuracy in Media website
http://www.accuracy.org/articles/manhat.htm The Manhattan Institute: Launch
Pad For Conservative Authors "The Manhattan Institute was founded in 1978 by
William Casey, who later became President Reagan's CIA director. Since then,
the Institute's track record with authors has been notable. Funneling money
from very conservative foundations, the Institute has sponsored many books
by writers opposed to safety-net social programs and affirmative
action...Charles Murray's Losing Ground -- a denunciation of social programs
for the poor -- catapulted him to media stardom in 1984.
More than a dozen years later, the Philadelphia Inquirer (10/13/97) recalled
that Losing Ground "provided much of the intellectual groundwork for welfare
reform." As Murray wrote in the book's preface, the decision by Manhattan
Institute officials to subsidize the book project was crucial: "Without
them, the book would not have been written."...When Murray appeared on ABC's
This Week (11/28/93), host David Brinkley introduced him with lavish praise
as "the author of a much-admired, much-discussed book called Losing Ground,
which is a study of our social problems." Minutes later, Murray was
explaining his solution: "I want to get rid of the whole welfare system,
period, lock, stock and barrel -- if you don't have any more welfare, you
enlist a lot more people in the community to help take care of the children
that are born.
And the final thing that you can do, if all else fails, is orphanages."...:
Shortly after The Bell Curve was published [in late 1994], the Institute
sponsored a luncheon to honor Murray and the book, in which he proposes a
genetic explanation for the 15-point difference in IQ between blacks and
whites that is the basis for his dismissing affirmative action policies as
futile."...Along with ongoing subsidies from a number of large conservative
foundations, the Manhattan Institute has gained funding from such corporate
sources as the Chase Manhattan Bank, Citicorp, Time Warner, Procter & Gamble
and State Farm Insurance, as well as the Lilly Endowment and philanthropic
arms of American Express, Bristol-Myers Squibb, CIGNA and Merrill Lynch.
Boosted by major firms, the Manhattan Institute budget reached $5 million a
year by the early 1990s."

"Work makes you free." A German version of the same phrase -- "Arbeit macht

Auschwitz, where thousands of Jews were forced into slave labor before many
were killed during World War II."
