Welcome back.
To aid in our investigations of the radical Marxist/Communist agenda behind America's educational establishment, I have included the video links below from an interview conducted back in 1970 by G. Edward Griffin with Yuri Bezmenov (a.k.a. Tomas Schuman), a former KGB agent and expert in psychological warfare. Mr. Bezmenov reveals the four stages used by the KGB for transforming a free society - specifically through the educational system - over to a sovietized regime. These stages are demoralization, destabilization, crisis and normalization.
How do these subversive tactics against our free western society fit with the goals of the Frankfurt School in destroying Christianity, creating chaos and transitioning over to a traditional Marxism/Socialist/Communism government? How does the demoralization phase fit with the six steps for societal transformation presented by Aldous Huxley in his book Brave New World? Where is America in these steps and what can conservative, Bible-minded Christians do about it? Is the transformation complete? It is my hope that these video testimonies - provided by an extremely credible source - along with our studies throughout this series will answer these crucial questions.

In this segment we will learn about the group of individuals that - by the help of John Dewey - founded a school for the "teaching" of Marxist theory to the American public, which has become ingrained throughout our national culture...

The Frankfurt School
(1864-1993)
As the title and 129-year span of its life suggests – and unlike the rest of the influencers discussed in this series – the Frankfurt School is not a single individual. It is, however, comprised of specific group of people whose philosophies merged into one overarching worldview which still burdens America today.
The writings of the Frankfurt School faculty and their disciples are abundant, and their goal can be summed up as the eradication of Christianity. Here is a list of the most influential faculty members, the last of who died as the twentieth century approached its close:
Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
Franz Oppenheimer (1864–1943)
Franz L. Neumann (1900–1954)
Siegfried Kracauer (1889–1966)
Theodor W. Adorno (1903–1969)
Friedrich Pollock (1894–1970)
Max Horkheimer (1895–1973)
Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
Karl A. Wittfogel (1896–1988)
Alfred Sohn-Rethel (1899–1990)
Leo Lowenthal (1900–1993)
After growing similar thought patterns along separate tracks, a group of German intellectuals in 1923 started what has become known as the Frankfurt School. Dr. William Lind explains, though, that the originally intended name of the institute had to be eliminated in order to conceal from the public its true agenda:
The intended name for the Frankfurt School was the Institute for Marxism. The institute’s father and founder, Felix Weil, wrote in 1971 that he “wanted the institute to become known, and perhaps famous, due to its contributions to Marxism as a specific discipline…” Beginning a Political Correctness still caries on, Weil and others decided that they could operate more efficiently if they concealed their Marxism; hence, on reflection, they chose the neutral-sounding name, the Institute for Social Research (Insitut fur Sozialforschung).
As we have seen, many of the 21 radicals we are investigating are in some way connected back to each other. In the case of the Frankfurt School, we find that it was directly connected to Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, George Hegel, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Dr. Lind writes:
The Frankfurt School blended Marx with Freud, and later influences (some Fascists as well as Marxists) added linguistics to create “Critical Theory” and “deconstruction.” These in turn greatly influenced education theory, and through institutions of higher education gave birth to what we now call “Political Correctness.” The lineage is clear, and it is traceable right back to Karl Marx.
According to the online Britannica Concise Encyclopedia:
Intellectually, the school is most indebted to the writings of G. W. F. Hegel and the young Hegelians… Karl Marx… Friedrich Nietzsche… Sigmund Freud.
In 1933, when the Nazis came to power in Germany, many members of the Frankfurt School conveniently found refuge in America at the invitation of John Dewey, who was on staff at Columbia University in New York. Dewey saw the opportunity to place these Marxists at leading colleges and universities around the country. He and his cohorts specifically targeted education and the media as the means by which to inculcate their worldview into American culture.
Dewey had help from Edward R. Murrow in disbursing the Frankfurt School refugees. In 1934, Murrow became the Assistant Secretary of the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced German Scholars. Earlier, in 1932, Murrow had gained experience as the Assistant Director of the Institute of International Education, which was established through a grant from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and he was well positioned for his later assignment. Murrow had been hired by Stephen Duggan, the director of IIE, who advised the Soviet government on issues related to their workers’ colleges. Duggan was a crusader for the Communist agenda.
Murrow also joined the American Russian Institute, which had been founded with the help of John Dewey. The Institute sponsored lectures from individuals such as Anna Louise Strong, a well-known journalist who wrote books defending the Soviet system. Eventually, Murrow went to work for CBS, where he became the famed newscaster. This employment allowed the infiltration of Communists into education, media, and Hollywood. Murrow was able to drop these Marxists into influential positions throughout America.
One of the men Murrow brought to America from the Frankfurt School was Herbert Marcuse. The phrase “make love, not war” shouted during the counter-culture revolution of the 1960’s was coined by Marcuse. The 1960’s student rebels implemented strategies laid out by Marcuse in writings greatly influenced by Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci.
Having achieved much that they set out to accomplish, many of the anti-American, flag burning, pot-smoking, pagan spiritualists of the counter-cultural revolution are now college and university presidents, professors- and American textbook authors.
The author of the Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx called for a powerful central government, a punitive progressive tax system, the merging of education with industrial production, the elimination of a free press, and much more. Thanks to many from the Frankfurt School, Marxism is alive and well in America, but this destructive worldview has been hidden from most Americans under terms that mask the reality of what is going on.
When you hear “political correctness,” what comes to mind? You probably think PC words such as tolerance, diversity, multiculturalism, and feminism. But what hides behind these terms?
Tolerance means that one person never expresses a judgment about someone else’s ideas, beliefs, and values from a worldview of absolute truth. Tolerance demands that you not only accept another worldview, but that you value it- unless, of course, the worldview is Biblical Christianity. Tolerance is very intolerant of Bible-minded Christians.
Diversity or "sensitivity training" is about the normalization of the homosexual lifestyle.
Multiculturalism is not the study of many cultures but the criticism of Western Culture and its founding worldview of Christianity. It also desires to destroy our American patriotism.
Feminism is not about equal rights for women but about the destruction of a patriarchal society in favor of a matriarchal society. The goal of feminism is the destruction of the family by eliminating the husband and father as provider, protector, and principle leader of his home. In today’s television programs, the father is often not even in the picture, and if he is, he certainly is not a leader trying to disciple his children in truth and right living. Often dad is the whipping boy of the show, the stooge the children treat with disrespect or even contempt. Feminism has accomplished its goals- the destruction of the American family through the destruction of the father and the resulting rise of the welfare state.
Political correctness is all about creating chaos by destroying the American family, replacing the role of the father with the role of the state, normalizing sexual perversion, and ridiculing traditional morals and virtues that stem from Christianity. The PC crowd uses this chaos to justify more government. Political correctness, in general, is a masking term for cultural Marxism. An all-powerful and intrusive government that robs you of your freedoms is the ultimate goal of what you may know only as political correctness. Although people regularly laugh about political correctness as if it is some kind of joke, losing your freedom of religion, freedom of speech, property rights, and parental authority is no laughing matter. Thought control is not funny either, and many Christians already have been prosecuted under hate-crime laws for sharing the gospel and for publicly speaking out against homosexuality.
Nearly 30 years ago, U.S. News and World Report noted that there were, even then, 10,000 Marxist professors teaching at America’s colleges and universities. That number today is certainly much higher. The ultimate goal of cultural Marxism is to destroy Christianity in all areas of life: law, science, economics, history, family, social issues, and education. The elimination of the Christian worldview from the culture will create the desired chaos. Once chaos has reached a fevered pitch, the public will cry out for government to solve the problem and people will accept socialism and the outright rejection of the U.S. Constitution and our other founding documents. Then the cultural Marxists will have accomplished the transition from cultural Marxism to traditional Marxism – socialism – the economic philosophy of Karl Marx modeled so vividly throughout Germany and other European countries.
So, unless you desire to live in a country where the middle class has been eliminated – most will live in a socialistically state enforced poverty of equals while a few from the "upper crust" remain wealthy – and where we are under the tyrannical thumb of a small group of cultural elitists who control every aspect of your life, then you had better get informed and speak up! Nothing is more powerful than the truth! Nothing scares the elitists more than their worldview and agenda being exposed for what it really seeks to accomplish, and nothing would be more likely to make the faculty of the Frankfurt School turn over in their graves.
