Howdy-Doody Brainwashed Boomers?
|
(Conspiracy Nation, 02/28/06)
-- You can trust those lovable characters in 1950s-era TV programs,
right? Such is what happened, as today's Baby Boomers were parked in
front of the Boob Tube by their "Greatest Generation" parents. But
something may have gone horribly
wrong!
It has been reliably ascertained that, following World War II,
a
duplicitous outfit called the
Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) was in fact set up. This
discovery comes on the heels of assertions by controversial figure
Lyndon LaRouche that young Baby Boomers were "subjected
to a mass-brainwashing by an institution called the Congress for
Cultural Freedom."
In 1967 it was revealed that the CCF, founded in 1950, had
been a front for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The CCF had
infiltrated the arts so as to control the culture.

Although exposed in 1967, a CCF-type operation seems to have
essentially continued unchanged. Reportedly, "In December, 2005, the
Washington Times published a commentary by Paul Greenberg, in which
Greenberg praises the propaganda activity of the CCF and equates it
with the recent activities of the Bush administration, where government
money was used to purchase the services of Iraqi and American
journalists and editors, in order to publish stories favorable
to the
U.S. invasion of Iraq."
It is with trepidation that Conspiracy
Nation makes use of the "Howdy Doody" image above. Previously,
this publication had asked some hard
questions about Barney the Purple Dinosaur. "Lovable Barney" has
been involved
with the torture of Iraqi prisoners, for example. Subsequent to
Barney exposes by Conspiracy Nation,
this editor was contacted by Barney
Agents who demanded Barney images be pulled from the web site.
In fear, this editor complied. Will Howdy
Doody Agents likewise intimidate this publication?
It is known that the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF) had been a
CIA front used against Communism. The idea was to win "hearts and
minds" by showing Capitalism to be culturally fertile. To this end,
various artists were unwittingly co-opted via the teat of Foundation
grants, the Foundations serving as a pass-through for CIA monies.
However authors Steven Meyer & Jeffrey Steinberg plausibly show how
anti-Communist culture may have "blown back" here to the U.S. and
twisted the "hearts and minds" of young Baby Boomers.
In The
Congress for Cultural Freedom: Making the Postwar World Safe for
Fascist
Kulturkampf, Meyer & Steinberg allege a plot to basically wreck
European and American culture. After Franklin D. Roosevelt's suspicious
death in 1945, a new gang took the helm of the American ship of state.
The Baby Boomer drug/rock/sex counterculture was willfully engineered
in order to infantilize that generation, it is charged, so as better to
control them.
Top-Forty music was exploited. Eros was used as a narcotic. The plan
was to create a cultural paradigm shift away from imago dei (inherent "image of God"
human dignity) and toward rudderless "man as god" humanism. This would
be "the ultimate antidote to the hated Western Judeo-Christian
civilization."
Anti-human, bestial policies represented by the rock-drug-sex
counterculture, which took off in the 1960s, have leaded to cultural
pessimism, argues the Citizens
Electoral Council (CEC). They combat "the Congress for Cultural
Freedom (CCF)—a CIA-funded cultural warfare unit sponsoring hideous
modernist and postmodernist 'art' against the Classical tradition in
art. This irrational garbage called 'art' is used as a way of
undermining the population's ability to think."
A further question not addressed is, why do so-called "progressive"
publications such as Nation
magazine consistently deride evidence pointing to a cover-up of the
true facts surrounding the events of September 11, 2001? Could such
"alternative" outlets indirectly receive funding from CIA culture
warriors?
A further twist is Lyndon LaRouche and his organization themselves.
One conjecture has them as a front for Roman Catholicism. Beware of the
Ditto-head nature of LaRouche
zombies who ironically, like some Boomer zombies, also do not think for themselves
but invariably echo statements of their leader.
