Too much reading and too much to read! Have found this post belatedly and tho’ I’ve yet to read the full original CFR piece I do have an impression. It’s an interesting look at the CFR and the powerful guiding bodies of that time — and thank you.
It seems to say more about the CFR than it does the totalitarians he decries! Here is one of my takeaways.
It states:
“The democratic method is to adapt social change to technological change. The dictators are trying to do the contrary.”
When the CFR’s writer says ‘democracy’ here what they’re really saying is “progressivism”. And that is of the very same genus of hell-spawned insect as the dictatorships he mentions, though he presents them as opposing kinds altogether. The essential difference between the two is that in 1941, the progressive insect was as yet a nymph; now we see it fully metamorphosed, and that’s why it so resembles the Soviet, Fascist and Nazi states. It’s because this CFR ‘democracy’ of social change and technological development was always a totalitarian state in its nature. It’s why this CFR ‘democracy’ sounds so danged familiar these days: “Our Democracy”. The beast now has its wings.
Yes, thank you for adding that insight. What they mean by "living, breathing Constitution." The evolution of the language takes them to where they desire, collectivist authoritarianism. Aka, Fascism/Communism/Socialism/Marxism. There's a reason that Marxist Noam Chomsky is a professor of linguistics.
Another major bad actor in this unfolding dystopia is Cass Sunstein. A "Nudger." The Science (TM), var. behavioral science. Former Obama higher up. His wife, Samantha Power running USAID under Biden, the architects of global pandemics and color revolutions. Both she and he are lawyers and behaviorists. And Sunstein is now a law professor at Harvard today. His latest work:
82 years ago. The song remains the same. Only the names change. Over here. Not just "over there." Same types of people, same mindset. Arrogance of man, striving to "perfect" man in their own image, believing themselves better, their "science" more powerful than God's design for man and the natural world. Our 'betters' armed with "The Science (TM)" to dictate to the lesser man how to live. Even more dangerous today than Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini were, The Science (TM) more advanced and ubiquitous. Serving the state, not the people.
This is from the Council on Foreign Relations' official mouthpiece. I juxtapose it with a link to a piece the CFR's FA wrote in early 2020 in the link above my presentation of the 1941 FA article. Lauding totalitarianism in China as a better model. The fundamental change, radical transformation of our institutions guarding our freedom from within.
Now, let me say to you fox as the spokesperson in my own mind of the wolves and the buffalo, that if a friend apparent asks for accommodation it does not reflect well upon a fox if it is not given.
Of course, in the mind of a fox, you might be wondering - is this just another trick?
But come on man or women as the case may be you sneaky fox - I just am asking for a place for me and my wolf and buffalo friends to hang out - is that ok with you?
Dear Freedom Fox!

How to redefine "freedom" and "democracy." How Orwellian "Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, War is Peace" comes to be. "Progress."
OK, I read it twice.
Last night and this afternoon.
This was written 82 years ago?
Many things caught my attention, the 1st being:
"Today, the German university professor must ask himself one question: Does my scientific work serve the welfare of National Socialism?"
Good read, though.

After reading this post, I now have to read the entire link.
Weather is great in cttage country, Ontario, so I'll likely overdose on vitamin D.
I'll be curious what else you pick out of note?
I'll most certainly send aother comment.
Um, fox, the wolves and the buffalo request a place to stay for a quiet evening - can you offer accommodation?
Now, let me say to you fox as the spokesperson in my own mind of the wolves and the buffalo, that if a friend apparent asks for accommodation it does not reflect well upon a fox if it is not given.
Of course, in the mind of a fox, you might be wondering - is this just another trick?

I await your response!
