THE FEDERAL AID NET IS CLOSING...........
The biggest deception ever perpetrated against a free people
by any gang of power-hungry, egotistical fabricators is this
Federal Aid fiasco which the American people have fallen for
so ingloriously. Before He visited the Flood upon the earth,
God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth,
and that e\ery imagination of the thoughts of his heart was
only evil continually." We know of no better language with
which to describe those in this 20th century world who are
foisting upon the American people this ruinous falsity which
w ill bring us to penury and ultim ate slavery— complete sub
servience to their sophisticated oligaichy.
First, who are the engineers of this knavery? It is by no
meant confined to the o ffic ia l Johnson administration; it has
been operating through the last several decades and the poli
tic a l administrations simply furnish the implementation of the
fraud. Indeed it is not an organisation of definitely designed
framework. It is the amalgamation of mind and desire and
purpose of individuals forming several distinct organizational
bodies, some of them no more than committees, with vari
ous individuals in some instances actually belonging to more
than one entente. We can here name only a few of those
groups:
The Council on Foreign Relations, probably the oldest.
Formed of like-m inded individuals im m ediately after
World War 1, but not actually given organizational frame
work until 1927. Presumes interest only in our foreign affairs,
but {Tactically every move v ita lly affects our domestic interests.
Ad Hoc Committee on Triple Revolution. A committee of
32 economists, union officials, educators and others, including
Pulitzer and Nobel prize winners. Slay have been instituted
in Eisenhower's administration; only preliminary reports were
received by Kennedy; the fu ll report coming to Johnson in
1964. The committee stated frankly that the American people
are incapable of conducting their own lives and affairs in their
own be« interests and that capable hands and minds such as
their own mu« regiment every phase of our lives and assume
entire responsibility. Here is a quote from the report: "The
economy of abundance can sustain a ll citisem in comfort and
economic security whether or not they engage in what is
commonly reckoned as work. We urge that SOCIETY under
take an unqualified commitment to provide every individual
and every fam ily with an adequate income AS A MATTER OF
R IG H T ." (Capitals ours) .
The policy- making heads of the National Education
Association.
hfr. Johnson's recently appointed 15-member advisory group.
Presumed functions: To advise the course of the Great Society
and recommend governmental reforms.
The ADA (Americans for Democratic A ctio n ). Not to be
confused as a wing of the Democratic Party- there are " l y
Republicans in it.
There are others. But together they form what M. Stanton
Evans appropriately terms the ESTABLISHMENT in his recent
book "The Liberal Establishment".
Secondly, This self appointed intelligentsia actually believes
the American people incapable of doing for themselves. Really
this is a compliment to the people, for truly, i f left openly
to th e irO rn decision, the people would certainly not give
away their privilege of individual responsibility. How wonder
fully efficacious that responsibility ia has been demonstrated
over the last two humfred yean in the building of the most
highly developed, mort affluent, most competent segment
of civilization yet produced in history,
Thirdly, government CANNOT give monetary aid for any
social leveling or developing purpose. It doesn't have one
cent of money with which to "aid" without first taking it from
the people. Then it gives back SOME of what it has taken —
with strings attached.
Fowthly, Are these benefactors really concerned for the
welfare of the people’ NO. I f they were they would wart to
do it the PROVED American way: help them to help them
selves; a continuation of the method by which America got
to its unique position of affluency. W e« Germany has used the
formula to triumphantly revive itself since World War 11. T a i
wan (Formosa) is the outstanding modern demonstration of
what good government can do to promote the Individual, demo
cratic welfare of a lib eral, private property, free enterprise
and freedom -«Joying people.
Fifthly, We come to the question of real MOTIVE which
prompts our friends of the ambitious clique to offer us
federal aid: The money cure for poverty, for urban renewal,
for medicare, education, and a ll their other hunched* of
splurges of beneficence. These people are highly intelligent,
to certainly they know that the poor cannot be boosted into
a permanent statin of financial competence jurt by bestowing
upon them a subsistence level of income. For with free income
the recipients w ill lose a ll in cettlve (if they ever had any)
and be coztent permanently with a subsistence statin. This is
being proved over and over in the current Poverty War and W el
fare Opus.
Which doesn't raise the quality of our citisenship,
even I f It does pull votes In the desired direction. Individual
wealth, education and like desirable emolument* of good
clrtwrohlp c.nnot be legislated or p u rc h ^ d , even with «amd
money. To thru« education upon the talented or the masses
without correspondingly importing hlghter ethical standards and
twpect for authority Is an empty and dangerous pursuit.
There can be no production w ithout work and there can be no
turtalned w ealth w ithout production.

RELUCTANT MEDICARE CLIENTS
Government administrators running the new Medicare
program are having trouble getting the 65-and-oidar group
to sign up before the March 31 deadline This must be very
embarrassing to the politicians and bureaucrats who have
long contended that "the people,” especially the old folks,
were demanding the Medicare program.
L a te « move to sell the program to reluctant eligible» is
a thing called "Medicare alert." Under this project, s cre w
of Medicare promoters will make house calls in commun
ities as part of a crash sign-up promotion
It is apparent that the government lacks the club of
economic persuasion in the voluntary Medicare program
that is used in signing up participants in the so-called "vol
untary” farm programs.
One of the arguments being used to push people into
the Medicare program ia the warning that If they don't sign
up by March 31. they won’t have another chance to do so
for two years.
This is not nearly as strong a compulsion as is used on
farmers who are threatened with l o w e r farm income
through government dumping of surpluses at price-wreck
ing levels to force them into the feed grain and wheat pro
g ram s
It may also be that many feel that the Medicare program
falls far short of the extravagant promises made by Pres
ident Johnson when he was running for election
This disillusionment with the Great Society which ia
