many other ills that American citizens face today, including healthcare
and education.

WhoFunds Heritage
Heritage
is not required to disclose its donors, but according to a Media Transparency
report in 2006, donors have included the John
M. Olin Foundation, the Castle
Rock Foundation, the Richard
and Helen DeVos Foundation (founders of Amway and father-in-law to
newly appointed Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos), Bradley
Foundation (board members include Federal Reserve and CFR members),
the Koch Brothers and Claude
Lambe Foundation, and Richard
Mellon Scaife, who gave over $30 million to Heritage.

Scaife
supported abortion, and paid for a full-page ad in the WSJ in 2011, “From
the Desk of Richard M. Scaife – An Open Letter to Fellow Conservatives:
Why Conservatives Should Oppose Efforts to Defund Planned Parenthood.”
His mother was a good friend of Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger,
and had her in for tea every Sunday afternoon.

The
list of President Trump’s Supreme Court justices was culled with
the aid of the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society. Only two justices
on the list are truly pro-life. There are now 38 signees on the Coalition
Letter on the Pledge for a Pro-Life Nomination for Justice Scalia’s Seat
on the Supreme Court.

Over
the past 25 years, Heritage has also been funded by private foundations
such as Pew
Charitable Trust which also funded many GOALS 2000 initiatives. Bill
Clinton signed the Goals
2000 law on March 31, 1994, creating new education bureaucracies and
facilitating federal control of local education institutions.
William Greider’s bestseller, Who
Will Tell the People: The Betrayal of American Democracy reveals other
benefactors: “Heritage received grants from Amoco, General Motors,
Chase Manhattan Bank (David Rockefeller) and right-wing foundations like
Olin and Bradley.”

much that is anathema to our Constitution. Let’s look at the facts.

Assuring
Affordable Health Care for All Americans is the Heritage Foundation
plan, written by Republicans and endorsed by the so-called conservative
right. You will notice that Stuart
M. Butler wrote this Heritage monograph. Butler is a Brit who is a
senior fellow at the liberal Brookings Institute, the same Institute that
is promoting the privatization of education. Please pay particular attention
to Item #2 on page 6 of this document wherein it states, “Mandate
all households to obtain adequate insurance.”

in Obamacare is today its most controversial feature on the Right.

writes that he was there when the Heritage Foundation was promoting the
mandate:
Heritage
did put forward the idea of an individual mandate, though it predated
Hillary Care by several years. We know this because we were there: In
1988-90, we were employed at Heritage as a public relations associate
(a junior writer and editor), and we wrote at least one press release
for a publication touting Heritage’s plan for comprehensive legislation
to provide universal “quality, affordable health care.”As
a junior publicist, we weren’t being paid for our personal opinions.
But we are now, so you will be the first to know that when we worked
at Heritage, we hated the Heritage plan, especially the individual mandate.
“Universal health care” was neither already established
nor inevitable, and we thought the foundation had made a serious philosophical
and strategic error in accepting rather than disputing the left-liberal
notion that the provision of “quality, affordable health care”
to everyone was a proper role of government. As to the mandate, we remember
reading about it and thinking: “I thought we were supposed to
be for freedom.”The
plan was introduced in a 1989 book, “A National Health System
for America” by Stuart Butler and Heritage Senior Researcher,
Edmund Haislmaier. We seem to have mislaid our copy, and we couldn’t
find it online, but we did track down a 1990
Backgrounder and a 1991
lecture by Butler that outlined the plan. One of its two major planks,
the equalization of tax treatment for individually purchased and employer-provided
health insurance, seemed sensible and unobjectionable, at least in principle.But
the other was the mandate, described as a “Health Care Social
Contract” and fleshed out in the lecture. [Link]
Now,
Stuart Butler claims
we shouldn’t blame Heritage for the Obamacare mandate. He links to
the Amicus brief filed in the 11th
circuit court of appeals, dated May 11, 2011. If you read the Amicus
brief, notice Edwin Meese’s name as well as Randy
Barnett, of Georgetown University who has long been promoting a Constitutional
Convention with Michael
Patrick Leahy of Tennessee.

I find
it interesting that the Affordable Health Care Act was signed into law
by Barack Hussein Obama on March 23, 2010, but Heritage Foundation didn’t
file their Amicus brief until over a year later. Ahem!

Heritage’s
Mandate for Leadership
Mandate for Leadership
In 1980,
Heritage published their Mandate
for Leadership to guide the incoming Reagan Administration and its
transition team. Working the high-level inside track on these personnel
hiring’s was Reagan’s “Kitchen Cabinet,” of which Council
for National Policy member, Joe Coors, was probably the best-known member.

for National Policy member, Joe Coors, was probably the best-known member.
A Reagan
loyalist since the 1968 GOP convention, Coors began spending a lot of
time in Washington, D.C. and at the White House. The attempt at governance
by the Kitchen Cabinet became so elaborate that they actually established
an office in the Executive Office Building across from the White House.

Embarrassed
by the image of a covey of millionaires seeming to run parallel and sometimes
conflicting personnel recruitment operations, senior White House staff
produced legal opinions saying that it was illegal for a private group
to occupy government property, in this case a White House office.

Although
Coors produced a legal opinion arguing there was no violation of law,
Coors and friends were evicted. Heritage could hardly claim diminished
relations with the Reagan Administration, however, as an estimated two-thirds
of its Mandate recommendations were adopted in the first year of the Administration.

Further,
Heritage was using a letter of endorsement from White House Chief of Staff,
Ed Meese, CNP charter member, in a December 1981 fundraising effort. In
his letter of endorsement, Meese promised Heritage’s president, Edwin
Feulner, that “this Administration will cooperate fully with
your efforts.” The newly elected Ronald Reagan passed out copies
of the Mandate at his first Cabinet meeting, and it quickly became his
administration’s blueprint. By the end of Reagan’s first year
in office, 60 percent of the Mandate’s 2,000 ideas were
being implemented. After leaving the Reagan Administration, Meese joined
the staff of the Heritage Foundation and is still there today.

Meese
and his cronies were also involved in the theft of the Inslaw/Promis software
that enabled the Justice Department to track criminal prosecutions. [Link]
Meese had his intelligence buddies put a trap door in the software so
the Bushes could monitor everyone. The Justice Department started sharing
the illegally obtained PROMIS software with other agencies, including
agencies where PROMIS was modified for intelligence purposes and sold
to foreign intelligence operations in Israel, Jordan, and other places.
Michael
Risconsciuto of the Wackenhut security firm (former FBI and CIA) had
testified that he was contracted to install a “trap door” in
the software to allow the CIA to tap into PROMIS software worldwide. It
appears that the original petty crimes of the Justice Department led to
the exposure of a sensitive national security operation. [Link]

Edwin
J. Feulner, formerly the president of Heritage Foundation, had a yearly
income including deferred compensation of $1,098,612. Former Attorney
General, Edwin Meese, takes home half a million a year from Heritage.
This is where your $25 monthly donations go…to enrich the lives
of these top dogs. Feulner is also a charter member of the Council
for National Policy (CNP).

researcher Chey Simonton states in her article
on the Rockefeller/Heritage Connection,
“The
top men of the Heritage Foundation, first Weyrich, then Ed Feulner,
and now Jim DeMint, with the trust and cooperation of masses of sincerely
committed conservatives, have been in a position to further elitist
Rockefeller goals. (These are the Rockefeller Republicans Phyllis Schlafly
called the Kingmakers, in her book, “A
Choice Not an Echo.”) Along with radical World Government
advocate, Walter Hoffman of the World Federalist Association, they participated
on the 16 member U.S.
Commission on Improving the Effectiveness of the United Nations.
Working with the US Information Agency, Feulner also participated in
facilitating the infamous 1985
US-Soviet Education Technology and Cultural Exchange Agreement.
Soviet pedagogy, based on behavioral
conditioning for a compliant collective labor force, is a dream
come true for the dozens of multinational corporations funding all the
think tankspromoting
American education reform. The humanist Carnegie Foundation,
a century-long collaborator with Rockefeller philanthropy, facilitated
the Soviet side of this Exchange Agreement.”
Remember,
in 1934, the Carnegie Corporation called for a shift from free enterprise
to collectivism. They wanted the Soviet planned economy. [Link]

In1995, education researcher, Charlotte
Iserbyt, identified conservative “Wolves
in Sheep’s Clothing,” who not only gave the Soviets access
to American education, but whose act of treason “virtually
merged the two educational systems.” Leading the pack for
an educational exchange initiative was none other than:
“Edwin
Feulner, former President of Heritage Foundation, who strongly supported
the U.S.-Soviet
education agreements, and who had an office in Moscow, supported Soviet-style
magnet schools (i.e., tax supported
choice/charter
schools), and had state affiliate organizations across the nation writing
charter school legislation that reads like it has been written by the
U.S.
Department of Education, the Carnegie
Corporation and the National
Education Association.”

We must
remember, the 1955 UNESCO
(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
book, MENTAL HEALTH IN EDUCATION, is the earliest reference
to the need for “choice” in education. The Charter Schools concept,
strongly marketed around the country by Heritage affiliates, with the
help of many CNP members in every state, attempts to link patriotic free
enterprise themes to a blatantly unconstitutional system of corporate
fascism to business/government partnerships in the education of our children.

At the
same time, note that Heritage founder, Paul Weyrich, once served as advisor
to former Russian President, Boris Yeltsin of Chechnyan genocide fame.
He wrote about it in an article in the Heritage
affiliate, Townhall Magazine. In 1987, Weyrich also wrote an article
in The Washington Post, A
Conservative’s Lament, which virtually recommended a new Constitution
and parliamentary form of government for the U.S.

Both
Feulner and Weyrich were also involved with other powerful players and
shadowy figures, some from the right and some from the left. They have
been included in groups formed to reinvent the UN, supposedly to face
the 21st century. It is becoming more and more evident that Weyrich and
Feulner were in fact organizing a tight group that represented the merger
of right and left, which we have seen over the past 65 years, and which
was quite obvious in our recent election.
