Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, welcome back. And joining us now is Wayne Morrow. He is the CEO of the John Birch Society. And he's got something I think is very interesting to talk about. And that is Fabian Socialism. You probably heard this term before, but maybe you don't understand what it is or the difference between it and the Marx and Karl Marx's approach. and how much more dangerous it is. You know, for me growing up, Fabian was a teen idol.
Starting point is 00:00:36 And I saw Fabian socialism as like, you know, what is that, you know? But actually, it's a famous Roman general. And I guess Fabian's parents were Italian, and I guess maybe that was the namesake. Or they might have been a socialist. I don't know. But anyway, it is important to understand the distinction, because they have very different tactics that they use to achieve the same totalitarian goals. So joining us now is Wayne Morrow, CEO of the John versus Society.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Thank you for joining us, sir. Thank you, David. Appreciate being here. And, yeah, it's Fabians, much like the Council and Form Relations, very little known about people in their respective countries. It's sort of that secretive behind-the-scenes group. You know, that's part of the plan, you know. And you mentioned, you told me, just as we were talking here, just before you came on, how you there is also a book that the giant birth society sells called the fabian freeway
Starting point is 00:01:34 yes exactly a very in-depth book yeah yeah it's a book we written past and we republished it we have our own publishing company called the western islands and the fabian freeway is a book about the genesis of the fabians and how impacted our even our u.s policies and our foreign policies it all ties together but it's a real good book and it's uh over about 600 pages so it's not a quick read but it's in depth, and I think it's for people who are serious students about history. And what goes on today, surely I call we're the top of the puzzle box, you know, now we understand what goes on. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:10 That's right. But tell us a little bit about Fabian socialism. You know, what was it about that general that they liked, and how does that tell us about their tactics? And how is it different from Marxism? Well, that's a good question. Well, anyway, the Genesis is, as you mentioned, Quintus Fabius Maximus, He was a Roman general, very slow moving.
Starting point is 00:02:32 He was very, you know, quiet, but he was slow and forceful. And much like the Fabians took his name because that's the process they want. You know, their moniker originally was a wolf and sheep's clothing. And they didn't work over too well. Figure that one out for a while. And they said, now we'll go switch to a turtle. I think the Republicans and Democrats could use that imagery as well. They could have a donkey and an elephant.
Starting point is 00:02:58 They could have a wolf and a sheep building for both of them. They had to change their market because it wasn't going over well. But, you know, if you go back to the genesis of it all, Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner were involved in forming this elite group. And George Bernard Shaw was certainly one of the members in the Webb, Sydney Web and all. And, you know, they were very open about socialism. And, you know, the dispute they had. between Marx and in themselves was they wanted to believe in the more of the ethical,
Starting point is 00:03:33 slow-moving educational route versus violence. And so that was their goal. So, you know, they formed, you know, the London School of Economics. And out of that school, you know, they put in place various key legislators in government and even in our institutions around the U.K. And they knew that by influencing public policy, it didn't make any difference who was the elected official because they were setting the policy.
Starting point is 00:04:06 They do that today, as a matter of fact. Yeah, yeah. And so George Bernard Shaw was, he was also very large on eugenics. Matter of fact, I don't have that video clip, but if you can listen to their audio clip, he talks about once every five years, this is this one,
Starting point is 00:04:21 we'd have to stand up front of this board to determine if we should be worthy of staying alive or not. He actually said that, you know. So he's going to go imagine that. Just destroyed my appreciation of my fair lady, right? Can you imagine? You can listen to them now. Go believe me, you can look them up, you can listen to the video, audio clip.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's amazing. And, you know, and so every prime minister, every Labor Party member of the UK is part of it is a Fabian. And so the Fabian's goal is, is always has been, as we call it, socialism, but it's a slow-opt-Marxism. And what they wanted to do is govern every aspect of your life and force globalism. So as you see now today with Kerr Starber, who, by the way, is a Fabian as well as the mayor of London, you're watching it happen, the country being destroyed. And I have podcasts with folks in London. and I tell them
Starting point is 00:05:20 this is all to Q this is exactly what the plan is to destroy their heritage, their history to bring in usher in world government that's exactly what they're all about, yes. Yes, when you say there are Fabians is there still an organization
Starting point is 00:05:36 that they belong as an active member like somebody would belong to the John Burr's Society? So they actually have the Fabian Society there? Yes, yeah. Tony Blair is a member of the Fabians you know. Guard carriers. remember. He's very active with it, by the way, with the World Economic Forum. Interesting. But if you go online, you can look up the Fabian Society. They have organization in Australia.
Starting point is 00:05:58 They're young Fabians, you know, but they exist. I mean, they exist today. And when I speak to the British, very few really understand the Fabians. Liz Trust. I met List Trust, a past Prime Minister. I was at a CEO conference. And I gave her my card and I said, I'll send you a copy of the Fabian Freeway. Now she's actively doing YouTube phenomena because they said you never mentioned the Fabians, Liz. But, you know, I think she knew exactly what they were. But the whole thing was, David, back in Woodrow Wilson's days, when he actually worked with Colonel Mandel House, another globalist, they formed this thing called the inquiry. And the inquiry was a group of men where British and U.S., and they disguised how are we going to work together and kind of really conquer the world as far as the political agenda and then eventually
Starting point is 00:06:52 total. And so that was the genesis of the Council on Foreign Relations. So the Council and Formulation, which is House in New York City, they and the Fabians work together as we speak today and setting governance and policy. And they do that. Regardless what the elections look like, they're behind the scenes doing foreign policy. And that's why we always look at other why doesn't everything change well this because behind the scenes the same folks have been working the agenda that's what's going on and we have to bring the light to the UK people as well as the United States that this group these groups are hard at work directing our foreign policy but our future and
Starting point is 00:07:38 it's for world government it's nothing to do with freedom and our job in the Bert Society is through education to make people aware of who they are so we know what to do. It's not mystical. It's not magical. It's not a beauty contest when you elect somebody. But we have to know the threats are real and we see it today. Yes. It sounds very much like Antonio Gramsci, the father of the Italian Communist Party's strategy, where you wanted to march through the institutions. How is it different than Gramsie's communism? And I mentioned Antonio Gramsie because Pete Buttigay is what I call him. Because he's very proud of that.
Starting point is 00:08:17 But, you know, his father spent his entire career at Notre Dame. That was really his specialty, Antonio Gramsci. And he had him go to Harvard where he studied under Sokvan Berkovich, who was also very much a fan of Italian communism. He changed his name to honor Soko and Venzetti. And so, you know, that I've learned something about Antonio Gramsci because of Boutique, but I also called him Bouti Marx because that's really where they're trying to take us. But again, it is a slow march through the institutions.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And so what is the difference is that one of them was Italian and the other one was predominantly English and American, kind of Anglo? Yeah, well, Gramsky was involved as Italian. He was from Sardinia, and he was, grew up in that area of farm. He watched the farmer owners take advantage of the farmer workers. He actually has a book called David called the Graham. Gramsky papers, prison papers, and that's about this thing I have behind me in my library. And it was written on toilet paper, by the way.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And he passed it to his sister, and it became the Gramsky, the prison papers. And Gramsky was, you know, a threat to the Nazis in Germany. And that's why it was called the Frankfurt School. And Hitler tossed them out of the United States. They ended up in Clubby University. And so the goal of that. was then to indoctrinate and reduce the morality of young college students and shoved down their throat socialism and communism.
Starting point is 00:09:56 So now we have the professors from various institutions in the country about, you remember that, then the 60s, about the hippie moving all. That was all coming from the Frankfurt School through Columbia University. They knew they have, this is what Gramsky said, David. We can't destroy the United States or Western. in society is we talk to it economically. That's hard. Yeah. We have to change them morally. Because if we could do that, we could destroy the morality, because that's the glue that holds them
Starting point is 00:10:27 together. Then we can destroy them. And that's what, that's the whole story with the Frankfurt School, which ended up at Columbia University. If you think about it, where we are back in the 40s to where today, you could see the morality of the United States going the other direction. And that's all according to plan. And that's why they got so heavily involved in Hollywood in the entertainment business as well. Absolutely correct. And that's what happened. So they knew that's exactly one of the key
Starting point is 00:10:53 points that makes the United States and Western civilization so strong as our moral behavior and our beliefs. So that's what we see today. But that's a difference between the two. And so they're Marxists, but they use that social element. They said Karl Marx wasn't right.
Starting point is 00:11:09 He thought economics was the only way. No, we're going to have to do the moral end of it. So they morphed it into another strategy, but it's all the same Angola stole slavery. And you can see that very much in what Sok van Berkovich focused on there at Harvard.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Everything for him was a product of Puritanism. And so we've got to overthrow this whole, the Puritan roots of America, and we've got to attack it at its foundation. But he was really what he was trying to do was to attack the moral foundation of the country.
Starting point is 00:11:41 That's why he focused on that so much. But everything he talked about, was in terms of that, you know, well, this is because of the, you know, the Mayflower and this we've got to get rid of, of that. But it is kind of interesting. And, of course, we see other approaches as well. You had people like Bill Ayers, okay, they decided that they said, well, we've had class struggles over, you know, for Marxism and Europe. That's not going to work here. It's not working here that well. So let's go to a race struggle. So There's yet another approach that the communists have taken.
Starting point is 00:12:18 They've got so many different prongs to get all of them take us to the same hell, don't they? It's a lot of different roads. Yeah, we do the dirty work for them. We have, you know, class struggles, men against women. That's another big one right now. Children against their parents. Black versus white or tan.
Starting point is 00:12:38 It's all about conflict and war. That's the, you know, that's their goal because they, need that to enforce more rules and regulations of the government and less freedom. You guys can't play nice. Okay, well, we're going to incite that. And, you know, the Marxists knew that's one of the
Starting point is 00:12:56 goals. And it's what written over a period of time. Lots of documentation on how that works. But that's the goal. So they're playing to our frailties of humans. You know, rich versus poor, black versus white, tan versus white,
Starting point is 00:13:12 Chinese, whatever. It doesn't make a difference because their endgame is world government, and they know that they can't have a lot of us, so we have to exterminate some, so I'll let those guys exterminate themselves. And that's what we see, you know, and we're seeing that now in the U.K. As we start our conversation about the Fabians, as I talked to the folks in the U.K., we're watching their country, and I used to live there and work there in Oxfordshire,
Starting point is 00:13:40 so I know the country rather well, and I'm watching those folks being destroyed, destroyed by the invaders on purpose. But they're doing the dirty work, destroying all their history, and in fact, terror into those folks in Ireland as well as the UK. And they're concerned. But I'm seeing a resurgence of the British citizen rising up. It was about a month ago, you recall in London, they had people marching with the British flag.
Starting point is 00:14:12 It wasn't 200,000, David. We had people that were there, and they said it was more like 3 million people were there. You'll see farmer trucks now marching into London with their tractors. They don't want to be slaves. And I've talked enough Europeans. They don't want to be a part of the European E.C. any longer. They're losing their sovereignty. They love their history, David.
Starting point is 00:14:34 And they really respect. And when I travel throughout Europe, when I live there, they really love their history. And they love their heritage. It's being destroyed systematically. and it does not work. One thing I wanted to tell you, which is interesting, I found out talking to several of the folks within, you know, past legislators, they tell me they get their news about the United States in two ways,
Starting point is 00:14:59 CNN and the New York Times. What does that tell you, Dave? Yeah, yeah. If you go travel in Europe, you're going to see CNN. I go, what is that doing? I'm in Hungary or I'm in, you know, I'm in Hungary or I'm in, Italy. I'm watching CNN. But that's how they look at the United States. I said, well, that's totally upside down. Yeah. Well, I had a friend who worked in the Pentagon about 20, 30 years ago.
Starting point is 00:15:27 And when I talked to him, he said, yeah, CNN is playing on the screen all over the Pentagon, all the different rooms and everything. That's a communist news network. That's right. It's very important that who you listen to. And I've always tried to listen to various sources. And I would go to the, I always preferred people who would tell me what they think and why they think it, rather than the people who try to be this mushy middle like time and newsweek. So I was always looking at the nation or national review or something like that. Even though I don't support their views, I'd like to see that conflict that was there because a lot of times that would help me to understand where I stood on the issue. So I try to
Starting point is 00:16:12 give these people that are opposed to each other but most people just go for something like time or newsweek or CNN and it's kind of the the mushy middle that's put out there by the mockingbird programs that are out there for people but that's why it's very important for people to educate themselves and that's a very important thing that you do at the john berth society tell us a little bit about the john birch society and how it's organized at local we started 19 yeah we started 1958 and our goal is education you know education is really critical for us educating people about American values. Our job is limited government.
Starting point is 00:16:47 You know, so people call us far right. That's not true. We're actually constitutional matters. Some form of government, but not total. All the left is all the isms, glee fascism, right? And our job is to teach American-Americanism. It's not taught anymore.
Starting point is 00:17:00 So we have free courses online, the JBS, that orgy about teaching about the Constitution. And we said, how do you elect constitutional matter representative, state, local, or federal? if you don't know the playbook. So how do you hold them accountable?
Starting point is 00:17:15 And it's not taught on purpose. So now it becomes a personality contest. We don't want that. So we teach people Americanism. And we give them the history. And we show them who's behind the curtain. Like we mentioned the Fabians and the CFR and who's forming foreign policy.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And once people know what goes on, that's important. We call it a conspiracy. It's not a theory any longer. But the conspiracy says this. The first goal is to deny its existence. Of course. So we said, look, let's expose them. It's not us. That's why I have a thousand books behind me.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Is that over the course of time, it proves that they does exist, and they actually come out and talk about it. It's interesting, as we look through time and look through history, I always go back to my U.K. experience where Otis Huxley was a Fabian. I'll go back to that for a second, to answer your question. And what happened is he was writing, this guy was a young author writing all the information about what he heard. He was so excited about it that he decided to write a book. And he said, I can't use my pen name. My name is Eric Blair. I can't use that.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I have to use a pen name, so I think my name is George and Orwell. George Orwell is really the Eric Blair, and he wrote 1984 about the Fabians. And the question becomes, why is it in 1984? Well, January 4th of 1884 is the foundation of Fabians. And they said, within 100 years, we have world government. That's why that book's titled 1984. Oh, interesting. I'd heard people say because he wrote it in 1948, but yeah, it's a 100th anniversary.
Starting point is 00:18:51 I don't believe that because he was indoctinated by H.G. Wells and Alex Huxley about, he writes about Big Brother, Newspeak. That's all about the Fabians. And now that Sid Vogue, I'm saying, hey, look, that wasn't done as a science fiction. That was really his telling you, and he couldn't. you know, hold themselves. He said, I have to really talk about this. That's why it's, and I believe,
Starting point is 00:19:15 I personally believe that's why it's in 1984. It's 100 years of existence. And, of course, I mentioned the Council of Formal Relations is a child of the Fabians, and now we have an American version, and we have, you know, the European version, work in unison. So our job is in Birch Society is educate people
Starting point is 00:19:32 what's going on to be personally responsible to elect constitutional moderates and constitutional-minded representatives state, local, and federal, so we can monitor not only our behavior, but go back to constitutional-based law and not rule by elitists, and that's what we see today. Yeah, and so, you know, and it's important for people to understand how many different ways they come at us in order to set up a totalitarian government. They have so many different tactics and strategies.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And, of course, one of those, I think that you're talking about Alda-Suxley and others like that, H.G. Wells and Huxley, the technocracy that was there. I mean, talk a little bit about technocracy as well. That's really kind of coming to us. People don't really know where to fit that, you know, because it doesn't really fit into the left, right paradigm. And yet that seems to be on the ascendancy as well. Talk a little bit about that. Well, you know the story about technology. You know, but X. I have a fellow used to be a member of the birth site, was a, where's the CIA? He said, smile a lot because your picture gets taken about 300 times a day. that's right
Starting point is 00:20:38 more than that now I guess yeah you go bank grocery store going to get gas but technocracy is a tool for for monitoring and governance and that's why you see AI data data centers
Starting point is 00:20:53 and all every little thing that you've done and they openly said this in the Bank of International Settlements they want to have this digital currency where they can monitor any of your expenditures from $100 on up
Starting point is 00:21:06 so they can determined by checking China, if you have a bad social score, then you're not going to buy anything. So if you think about technology is going to be their weapon or tool to keep you in line. That's where I see it happening. And they're doing it through a lot of different angles. It looks kind of cool. But that's really the goal. Well, the things I began the program with today was talking about the fact that, you know, I mentioned all the time about how artificial intelligence is really going to be a superpower for any kind of government tyranny to be able to monitor you and everything that you're doing as you're just talking about, but also to manipulate
Starting point is 00:21:41 opinion as well. And that's why it's very, it's very concerning to me to see that that this latest executive order from Trump that essentially presumes to prohibit any state laws that would curb things that are happening with AI companies. Because I think what where that would really happen would be with the data centers. I think it's where the big conflict is going to come. Very true. And, you know, that is the bottleneck. for them and that would be one of the ways that you could limit them to buy a little bit of time to try to get some control of the situation or structure to keep some of these things at bay but again to prohibit that at the federal level and that is in direct conflict with a 10th
Starting point is 00:22:25 amendment and of course the Democrats will tell you that now because they're not in power but as soon as they get in power they don't care about the 10th amendment either but it is really a a real concern about this concentration of power and the, you know, the destruction of the 10th Amendment. And, of course, the enforcement mechanism that it's going to run through is going to be to use financial carrots and sticks for people coming out of the federal government. That's the way they always get around the 10th Amendment, isn't it? Absolutely correct.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yes, the technocracy. That's exactly what we call technocracy. Yes. The techno bureaucrats. That's where they use that technology. as I call it digital prison. That's basically where you're looking at. And that's kind of where we're at.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And that's what they're setting up digital prison. So you can't go anywhere and do anything within your 15-minute city, whatever you want to be, to monitor where you are. So you lose all your freedoms. They're constantly coming up with different justifications to take us to the same kind of Orwellian hell that they want to set up. And that's why, you know, when you look at the Chinese communist, many times I'd look at them and say, okay, so are they really communist anymore?
Starting point is 00:23:33 or are they fascists because they've kind of merged economics and politics to a great extent there and it's highly nationalistic and all the rest of these other things. So it's important to understand all these different strains but then to not get boxed in by any of them to understand these people will mix and match. They'll take whatever they can use, many of these different strategies.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And, you know, when you look at them, if you were to construct a Venn diagram, it seems like they're all starting to reach convergence instead of one little point of overlap, doesn't it? Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, communism is just, a tool. That's all it's a tool for global governance. It's
Starting point is 00:24:07 not the be all end all. Just like any other religious things that we see it's got nothing to do at all. Matter fact, the men who are globalists, they're not communist, they're not, that's a tool. They're not fascists, but they use that mentality. But it's all the tool for world government. It's all going to come through the
Starting point is 00:24:22 United Nations. And you see the UN that's the center point of it all. And we have a magazine called the New American. And matter of fact, we're actually, we're actually launching it in there, called a New European, and I can show you this. Oh, good, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Matt here, David, these are little bubble diagrams. I have you can see this all. These are all the UN offices in the world. They're not just one location in the East River and Brussels. What are these people doing all these locations? Well, you're on the menu. That's what's going on. So you can imagine all those, you know, it's all over the United States.
Starting point is 00:24:59 So I'd be happy to send this to you at a New America magazine. and we have this one called the global power grab. We did this one, and it talks, and I show this around the Australians and the New Zealand's and the UK folks and the lady in France. They were totally amazed the depth of the United Nations, all these offices all over the world. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:20 And they're busy carving up the world for global governance. So that's our part of our job of the birth site expose what's happening through education and making it away. It's not too late because it's more of us than them, and they know that. Our job, their job is to keep us off message and looking at sports figures or Hollywood or this or that. The same time, they're destroying our foundational principles of freedom. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I've had Alex Newman on many times.
Starting point is 00:25:49 I've talked to Alex and a great guy there at The New American. And I've had other people as well from the New American. It's a great publication. And as you point out with that map, and you see all the different areas where, they have areas of responsibility in actual physical locations and everything. I think that's a key thing for people understand is that it's not necessarily going to be, as you point out, in Brussels, when you say, well, there's the seat of government or whatever, or the East River in New York.
Starting point is 00:26:15 It really is not so much about that. It's about global governance. It's about this network of different organizations that are out there. And that's one of the things that I see about technocracy is really that not just, you know, the electronic networking that's out there, but actually the political networking that is there and the interlocking of these different financial interests that are out there. So they can all have their own goals and things, but it is all pushing us towards this global governance. And the technology is really giving them power that they've never had before. That's the key
Starting point is 00:26:52 thing. That's really concerning me. We saw that with COVID-19. It was a good data set beta test for them. I had the whole world under control. I'm sure they were absolutely laughing in a maze how easy it was to make that happen. I know. I know. I was absolutely astounded how easy it was for them as well. And again, I think, you know, you look at the stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff. That was training wheels for universal basic income, which was something that Elon Musk has always been focused on when you had Andrew Yang come out, said he was going to run for president. And that was going to be his issue, the main issue. He branched out and some other things later on. But as soon as he came out and said universal basic income,
Starting point is 00:27:31 Elon Musk candid him a million dollars. You know, he wanted him to push that idea. Well, it got pushed really big in 2020, didn't it? Well, that's all part of the program, universal income through the UN. Yeah, of course it is. Yeah. The whole job they want you to be, industrious, they want you to be collective, not individualists. And we fight collectivism. We believe in individualism, not collectivism. That's all part of the rule, you know. there's a cult of a herd mentality and that's exactly
Starting point is 00:28:00 what they need to control us it's all of that's the end game is that world government and they'll determine as I mentioned early on we started in the show George Bernard Shaw before the Eugenics Committee who lives and who dies and you may not have that choice
Starting point is 00:28:15 if you're a strong crowd Christian or belief you may not fit into because they're amoral they don't have any beliefs the state is their belief you may not fit into their program if you can't be indoctrinated correctly you may be exterminated. That's right. And they're written about that.
Starting point is 00:28:29 So these guys play for keeps, and it's serious, and our job has been to expose their plan since the late 50s, and really what they want to do. And they're very open about it, not more so than ever, because they feel like young adults have been so indoctrinated through the universities and school that socialism is good, like we saw the last mayor race in New York City. I'm kidding you imagine. Yeah, yeah. Nothing's free.
Starting point is 00:28:56 The schools have indoctrinated that. But then we also have the situation where the, you know, the Gen Z people are finding it very, kids are finding it very difficult to find a job, even if they go to college, are finding it difficult to find a job. And that is something I think that really drives this. Because, again, one of the things that socialism has always pushed out there, I think, is envy. You know, they find these different, at its core, I think, like Solowinski, you know, dedicated as book rules for radicals to Satan.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And I think at the core of it, there's all these different satanic appeals to the evil aspects of our nature, you know, whether it's about greed, whether it's about envy, whether it's about hatred, racism, tribalism, all these different things. And they identify these things and seek to exploit them with these different approaches that they take, you know. And so that's what I think is you have to be aware of the tactics and the strategies that are there if we're ever going to be able to defeat them. Otherwise, we're just putting in their hands, aren't we? That's exactly. And you're exactly correct. That's exactly what they do. They
Starting point is 00:30:00 pit one group against another, one philosophy, because it's all about conflict. It's all about the conflict. That's critically important. But we have to identify what it is and expose what it is. That's really important. So we know the game. It's a charades. You remember the movie where we had with Julie Garland, Folli Ilovich Road, you know, and all of a sudden Who's a man behind the curtain? Don't pay attention to him. Well, we expose who's behind the curtain, you know, and that's really what it's all about.
Starting point is 00:30:30 It's really a plan. It's not done by accident. And we see a lot of kubuki theater. But the thing is, is that we identify really what it is. And to tell you what, it's very difficult for people to believe it because some of their heroes of the past
Starting point is 00:30:46 were not good people. That's right. And I'm sorry, folks. Or the heroes of the present. Or the present. Yeah. I mentioned about George, in our show. The guy was, you know, think about that one. I mean, I can go on, but there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:30:58 them. And they were not who they thought they were. I mean, it's, uh, yeah, he wrote Pygmalion, which was then turned into my fair lady, you know, the musical and the play. And, you know, enjoy the music with that. But, uh, yeah, the guy who was there. And even when you look at all these different science fiction novels, they've basically become a blueprint for them. But when you're talking about how they like to set up conflict between different groups, that's why I think we really need to have our guard up about partisan politics, because that is another way they do it. They don't just do it by race or by sex or this or that. They do it also with political factions. And, you know, when people buy into these things and start to excuse the actions of their leaders, what they really
Starting point is 00:31:39 need to do is to look at the longer historical view and say, where were the Fabian socialists trying to take us? You know, where were the Gramsie socialist trying to take us? Where were the Marxist trying to take us. And if the actions of the person that's the hero of your party is going to move us in the direction of these socialist and Marxists, they need to pull back and say, we're not going to follow that, even though that's part of our tribe here or whatever. I think that's a very important thing. You know, elections change government, but institutions change nations. That's really important. They actually, Fabians even said that. They also said power shifts from
Starting point is 00:32:18 representation to management. And that's where we are. You know, it's left or right, you know, on the politics scene, the policy being set forward doesn't make a difference who runs back and forth. It's all Kabuki Theater for us because they're not setting the policy
Starting point is 00:32:34 someone else is. And we identify who they are. That's really critically important. So it's all a big game in front of us, but we have to identify really who they are and what's happening. And that's all part of what we do, educate people and make them aware. There's more of us than them but our job is to wake people up and sometimes they don't want to they
Starting point is 00:32:53 want to hear about it you know our job is to wake people up and telling really what's going on much like the story gave to the uk folks about the fabians i said look they're destroying your country on plan oh it's not by accident it's not why you know i i question you know so do they still have a fabian society that people belong to because typically these things are done in secret you know quietly so So you have secret societies, you know, things like the Masons or whatever. But, you know, people will be members of this. But I don't think, do we have a Fabian society that you have politicians that are part of here in the U.S.? Or is it mainly the CFR that you'll see?
Starting point is 00:33:30 Mostly the CFR. Yeah, yeah. It's exactly. You know, it's a, it's a, it's more, well, it's a partner of with the Fabian. So back to Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner and, you know, Wilger Wilson took command of house. They had this thing called the inquiry back in the 1900s, and they formed this group and they went to the United States and the Council of Foreign Relations Born in 1921,
Starting point is 00:33:52 and they're going to set foreign policy up, Mark, through David Rockefeller, and today you have members of the cabinet, 40, 50% of the people in presidential cabinets were part of the CFR. I mean, I had Clinton, Eisenhower, all those guys, were all involved in the CFR. They knew exactly what was going on. So they were tearing the water for the CFR policy group,
Starting point is 00:34:12 and that's exactly what goes on. So it looked good, you know, But the reality is, one of the stories that goes this way, you know, every year, every year, several years we have an election. It's like when you're high school, you know, the president of the student council, remember those back in high school? It's a beauty contest, yeah. Yeah, and by the way, I'm going to have longer lunch hours and we're going to have less homework, right? And all of a sudden they get elected and they're like, who's running this show? The superintendent of the principal high school, they never happened.
Starting point is 00:34:44 And that's, sorry, with the CFR, we have a beauty contest. desk, which is a public, you know, either presidential election or congressional. And then who's running a show behind the scenes? It's really those groups. Those unelected bureaucratic officials are unelected and we expose
Starting point is 00:35:00 what they are. We have that book called The Shadows of Power. Another book that we published years ago called The Shadows of Power exposes the Council on Foreign Relations. War I, World War II, Korean, Vietnam, and how they all
Starting point is 00:35:16 morphed into all part of the plan. That's called the Shadows of Power. So the Fabians is freeways about the Fabians. The Shadows of Power is about the counts on formulations. Once people look at history, they get pretty angry because they know it's all been a theater for not for us, but for
Starting point is 00:35:34 them. And they play the game to make it look like you're running the show, but you're not. You're just a victim of the globalist plan. I agree. And when I think of the John Burst Society, you guys have done a great job of educating people about the Council on Foreign Relations, the CFR stuff. And yet we still have these people run for office and you'll see them proudly list that
Starting point is 00:35:56 as part of their CV, you know, that, yeah, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. And it surprises me. It's like, you know, I'm part of this satanic group over here. But it's, you know, they see it as a, you know, because it really does have a lot of Panash or whatever or clout in Washington to be a member of that club and they're proud of it. And we need to call them out on it. We need to understand the history of it. We need to understand really just how evil the actions have been and how that has really been there.
Starting point is 00:36:30 So I guess in the UK, they still have people who are part of the Fabian Society. But here you'll see it in the CFR and they'll be doing the same type of thing. Yeah, Bill Clinton was a member, Madden Albury was a member, Robert Rubin was a member, Robert Rubin was a member of Ben Cohen, Larry Summers, George W. Bush was, Gallaudela Lee of Rice, Colin Power, Robert Gates, Henry Paulson,
Starting point is 00:36:50 Barack Obama was president, scribe a candidate, Jimmy Gather, Susan Rice, you know, John Bolton, Henry McMaster, and Mike Pompeo, I dug Iowa on,
Starting point is 00:36:59 you see what's going on here. So they're there in strategic locations to monitor and steer public policy. That's what it's going on. So when you see this, and we hear the song, regards it was Democratic, Republican you get to the same place all the time. That's right. That's the key. And I remember when
Starting point is 00:37:17 Reagan got elected, people were excited, oh, he's not CFR, you know, and I can't remember the last time we had a president that wasn't CFR. And yet what he did was he put CFR people in all the different positions around him, you know. Yes, exactly. Well, Trump is not a member of the CFR, I can tell you that. So he's not a member. But he's got people around and make sure he doesn't get too far off off the script, although he does. That's right. Yeah, I think what Trump is really, as much as anything as the technocracy because these guys are writing the checks there. I'm very concerned that
Starting point is 00:37:48 you know, we all know now what the CBDC is and yet I think the same thing can be accomplished with a stable coin and they can make a lot of money putting the stable coin out there at the same time. So it's one way they can get rich
Starting point is 00:38:04 they can get rich off of that or they can't get rich off of the CBDC. And since everybody's kind of wise to the game of the CBDC, they don't realize that Stablecoin is still going to have those capabilities to be able to turn off your ability to trade and do other things like that. Tell us a little bit about the John Burr Society. I mean, I know you guys have had a lot of fights and that type of.
Starting point is 00:38:24 Have you been hit with any kind of debanking or stuff like that? Because, I mean, I have. And I've been kicked off of PayPal and Vimmo and other formats like that because of things that I was saying in 2020 about the lockdown and the pandemic and the vaccine, climate change and all the rest of stuff. are you seeing that kind of debanking and deep platforming in various places yeah well sometimes we say that we get too too too too much of truth that YouTube will take us down for a while or something like that and then we'll come back on again you know we don't have that issue of banking per se but they ignore us because they don't need attention we get attacked you know
Starting point is 00:39:04 we start to grow so they try to pretend we don't exist any longer Yeah, that's when I first learned in the John Burst Society was when William F. Buckley was on a tear with National View to come after you guys. I was like, well, I think I agree with these guys and I'm with Buckley. He's a CFR. I remember, by the way, then. You know, think about it. Yeah. Yeah. Probably CIA as well. So, Ellen Bones, you know, from Yale. You know, I can go on. He was a good guy, right? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:39:30 You know, his organization exists today. And don't look at, don't listen to those guys over there. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. that's why he was a good guy that's why NPR had him on that's right yeah right people go we wrote a book about that called the Piper of the establishment we wrote that book Jack McMass
Starting point is 00:39:47 or past president you may have known him he wrote the book about Buckley and he was you know he was all put together to make sure that he steers the conservative movement their direction of the CFR in which he was a member of the CFR so you know it's like you know as they said it's not matter of it's all controlled
Starting point is 00:40:05 you know, and he was control opposition. He was a very poster child for that, isn't he? Controlled opposition. Absolutely correct. And people still hold him up as he was some, you know, super conservative. He was not. I remember, you know, Rush Limbaugh really idolized him. I was like, man, you don't realize who this guy is?
Starting point is 00:40:22 That's kind of telling. But anyway, it's, it really is a great organization and really do appreciate what you guys do. And again, the, you know, the quiet ideology. reshaping policy from London parlors to D.C. power. Is that a book or is that an article, because that's how I found out about, about you. It sounds like the Fabian Freeway. That's what it sounds like. Okay. That's the subtitle of Fabian. By and over, yeah. Okay, good. The JBS has been around for a long time. We have area chapters. We educate people on the voting record of their representatives. And so we try to encourage people to be active participants in the process. How do you
Starting point is 00:41:05 change your representative, David, is if you don't understand the Constitution, or at least go visit them and say, why did you vote on constitutionally? So we have this thing called the scorecard. We print it out every quarter, and it talks about the voting record. Constitutionally, we picked them on Congress, you know, the Senate as well as the House, where they are. So people know if they're voting constitution or not. And it's our personal responsibility as Americans to uphold, remember, the legislative representatives work for us. say, hey, why are you voting this way? And would they have not? I mean, representative called me and said, no one ever very rarely calls me on the phone and talks about anything. Yeah. And so we can't,
Starting point is 00:41:47 it's not, you know, we can't sit back and I said, and one day we have a handsome young conservative to show up in Congress. It doesn't happen that way. Yeah. So my biggest goal is fight complacency in Americans. And its life is too good. And even though the economics, today is hurting them. Now they're listening, but life is too good, and they have to, you know, we have to get behind and spend a little time protecting our sovereignty and our freedoms, but we have to know who we are first. And that's what we try to teach, Americanist principles and hold up representatives who work for us to make sure that happens. I agree, yeah. And that's what I liked about, the John Bush Society was the focus on local activism as well. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:42:33 doing what is happening locally in your state as well. And I've seen what you're talking about in terms of representatives who say, nobody ever calls me. I saw the power of that. And I've talked about this on the program. When I lived in North Carolina, I was involved with homeschooling. And at that point in time, all of North Carolina's government was Democrat. Democrat House and Senate, as well as the governor and all the rest of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:42:56 So they decided the teachers unions decided that they were going to shut down homeschooling. And it looked like they were going to be able to do it because it was all Democrats. And an active minority of homeschoolers, which was really small at the time. There wasn't a lot of people homeschooling. There's so many more who were doing it today. But everybody got actively involved and started writing. And it made them look so much bigger than they actually were. And actually beat down the teachers unions in a Democrat state that were going to try to regulate homeschooling out of existence.
Starting point is 00:43:31 And so that was a very important firsthand lesson to learn. But it's difficult to get people to do that. And that's one of the things that John Birch Society does, I think is excellent, which is to educate each other about what is happening locally within your state and how you can take action at a local level. I remember probably my earliest memory of the John Burst Society was to support your local sheriff stuff, being concerned about the federalization of the police. And that is something that is now really escalating, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. Yeah, we actually have a, we have that group. It still exists called Support Your Local Police. We want to keep them independent and federalize. We have a group. We have an affiliate, not-for-profit called Support Your Local Police. And we also have a, you mentioned school, with the homeschool, we've been existed for 15 years called the Freedom Project Academy. It goes from kindergarten high school.
Starting point is 00:44:26 We have live, you know, education, of course, online. or you can buy a recorded version of it. And that's been around. So we're educating all over the world adults are having their children sign up to learn really Americanism and who we are not fabricated history. And we teach you how the kids how to write cursive and do math or read books.
Starting point is 00:44:51 How about that for a change? And so we, it hasn't happened in a public school, I can tell you that. And we spent more time in education than social, emotional learning. But the thing is, and you mentioned Allison and we have a lot of books about that.
Starting point is 00:45:04 But the thing is, so we look at education where our children or adults, bring it to view really who we are what we're all about because we've been
Starting point is 00:45:13 indoctrinated. And we know that brainwashings has existed to all the mass media, David, all the mass media as you know
Starting point is 00:45:20 very well because you're in the media business. That's all control about accounts and foreign relations. Every one of the New York Times,
Starting point is 00:45:26 all the networks, including Fox News, it's all controlled media. and they all say the same thing, same deal. So guess what? That's the only thing you hear, that's the only thing you believe.
Starting point is 00:45:36 So we said, no, time out. Let's talk about reality here. And it's hard for some people to swallow, but once you've been red-pilled, all of a sudden the world changes. Like, now you see what's going on here. So that's our job on the birth aside. We did with kids with school.
Starting point is 00:45:52 You write about the law enforcement. We want to keep an independent. We teach the Constitution. We get people involved. It's about education, people activated and evolve. That's really important. I absolutely agree. Get activated and evolve. And that's how we save our country, as well as the people over
Starting point is 00:46:08 in England, they see the problem now because they're watching their country be destroyed. And I mentioned the Fabians we first came on because that's coming attractions for the United States. What you see in Europe is a coming attractions for here. Oh, yeah. Just delayed just a little bit. Yeah. It's a warning. That's right. Yeah. And so, you know, getting back to the federalization of the police, you know, we look at these things and we say, okay, even if you like the guy who's doing it, and even if you agree with the stated goal, you have to look at this and say, yeah, but that policy is going to establish a precedent of the federalization of law enforcement. And so I know where that
Starting point is 00:46:46 leads, right? So we pull this back. Okay, so let's walk this back. And we have to oppose this, even if we agree with the stated purpose, that's the wrong way to do it. And it is so important that we not sacrifice the you know that the means does not it's not just that the end is not just by the means that's how these people always get us there and and it's understanding those principles and what America is about understanding the Constitution and what that's about and why those things are there those important safeguards against tyranny and understand that if we wipe those things away because it's going to make it more expedient for us to achieve this particular policy goal, we are going to pay the price in Long Island, aren't we?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Nationalized Police Force is one of Marx's plan, and so that's where we're trying to avoid keep them local and independent. Your sheriff is a very important person in your county, very important person, and I encourage people to know who the sheriff is and talk to them and making sure that you understand, and they understand about America's principles and our rights. and you have to know who the sheriff is so they know who you are, much like legislators and state legislature. You know, go back to our basics of our country.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Our United States were formed as independent states, sovereign states. And over a period of time, David, that we've given, the states have given power from themselves to the federal government. That's not the way it was supposed to operate. The government is supposed to defend us against public and domestic enemies, you know? And that's very limited power.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Look at Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution, very limited powers Congress has, right? And so we have actually given more power to the federal government, why it's all upside and distorted it today. So we spend time with our local legislators in each state to make sure they will uphold the constitutional responsibility. Each state has a constitution. The word democracy does not exist. It's always a republic. That's another thing we teach people. That word does not appear in our Constitution or any state constitution.
Starting point is 00:48:55 And people don't even know that. And I said, you have to understand states are sovereign. Make sure you make, this is where it begins. So if you look at our history, it was done with that phenomenal idea that keep them sovereign, independent states. So those basic things I just said to you, most Americans I talk to do not understand that. Yeah. They don't understand. That's right.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Absolutely do not. And it's so important that we understand a foundation of principles and why these things were set up the way they were. actually is a good plan, you know, even though the Constitution has been completely violated. It's still a good plan, and we should try it someday in our lifetime, I think. It's like the Ten Commandments. It's not the Ten Suggestions, you know. That's right. That's right. And the Constitution, you have to know it before you can uphold it, you know. And everybody pretty much, whether they're local or state or especially federal, they take an oath to the Constitution as a requirement of their authority.
Starting point is 00:49:52 And so when they violate that, they no longer have. being a legitimate authority, but they do have a lot of power. And so we need to understand that we can have power collectively. And that's one of the things I think the John Burr's Society does bring to the table. Thank you so much for joining us. It's been a fascinating discussion, Mr. Morrow. Thank you, Wayne Morrow, the CEO of the John Burtt Society. Always great talking to you guys.
Starting point is 00:50:16 We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. I want to talk a little bit about what's going on with cars here in just a second. So we'll be right back. Stay with us. And so much I'm sorry, you know, and
Starting point is 00:50:29 I'm I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be able to be. I'm gonna' and I'm gonnae'n't I'm gonna'n't I'm gonna'n't
Starting point is 00:50:42 I'm I don't know. I'm going to be able to I'm going to I don't know. . And so much I'm going to be.
Starting point is 00:50:56 And so I'm not going to I'm going to I'm going to be able to be. You're listening to the David Knight Show. You're listening to the David Knight Show. You're listening to the David Knight Show. to add the APS radio skill
Starting point is 00:52:33 and have access to the best channels anywhere, from country to blues, classic hits to news. APS Radio curates incredibly diverse playlist for you to enjoy. Get details at APSRadio.com. Welcome back, folks. We got a lot of comments.
Starting point is 00:52:51 And Jersey Boy, thank you so much for the sport. He says, can you please ask if he was ever heard of William Cooper who wrote Behold a pale horse? I'm sorry, I didn't see that comment at time. I'm sorry. And does he know about Jimmy from Brooklyn, who JBS interviewed, who I'm trying to get on your show? Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Well, I'm sorry, I miss that. I'm very sorry. Yes, apologies. Owen 61. Thank you so much for the support. He just says, thank you. Well, thank you, Owen. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yes, thank you so much. And Jersey Boy, again, says, I remember a few years ago from JBS an email, history of, and I need to, history of Republicans, it was started by a communist. Does he know what it was? And what does he think of JFK? You know, it's interesting. A book I really enjoyed was an alternative history book by Harry Turledov. He's written a lot of alternative history books. And this one was about Civil Wars called How Few Remain.
Starting point is 00:53:47 And in it, you know, you may know the history that Antietam, as bloody as a battle was, nearly was, could have been a victory for the South. except that one of the couriers dropped the orders that he was carrying, and they fell into the union's hands. And so in his book, the guy said, hey, you drop those orders, better pick those up. Can you imagine what would happen if the other guy's got that right? And so that causes an early end to the war, and pretty much all the major figures of both North and South survive. and the causes early
Starting point is 00:54:27 into the war and the south to gain its independence and in the in his alternative history Lincoln is entirely discredited because he lost the war but then he makes a comeback
Starting point is 00:54:41 as this book is picking up a couple of decades on at that point in time I think he's got Stonewall Jackson as the president of the Confederacy and Lincoln makes a political comeback as head
Starting point is 00:54:53 of the socialist party. And that's one of the things that made that book so interesting was you really did understand these people, what motivated them and the things behind them. And so, yeah, there was an early connection with that. And if you look at, always think about the Pledge of Allegiance that was put in by the Grand Army of the Republic, most of the veterans, especially if they were well-known or successful played an important part in the war, they got very big positions. and the subsequent governments that were there.
Starting point is 00:55:26 And the Grand Army of the Republic, which was the organization of Civil War veterans for the North, had a tremendous amount of influence. They were the ones who instituted the Pledge of Allegiance, and it initially did not have under God in it until the mid-1950s. And so the emphasis was on one nation, indivisible, and that, you know, very harsh with that. And the pledge was done with one arms,
Starting point is 00:55:53 extended out, palmed down, just like the Nazi salute. They changed it to hand over your heart because of the Nazi salute. But, yeah, socialism and a lot of other things were there. And as well as the concentration of power, really talking about the destruction of the states as sovereign entities and the understanding that the states had created the federal government, all that stuff disappeared with a civil war. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:56:21 We have username 0.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. AI will be kosher and DEI. Niburu, 2029, says, we have the best government money can buy. And that's a quote from Mark Twain. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And they spend more and more every single day.
Starting point is 00:56:41 Pezzanovante 1776. Ask the guest his take on war, Gaza, Trump's anti-Semitism, Tsar, and the Heritage Foundation's Project Esther. I apologize. I didn't see that. Yes. conversation was too good.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Garland Goldsmith says, curiously, people often claim Marx was focused solely on economics, but his entire worldview was cultural based on envy and hate. Yeah. Conflict, yeah. The Gellian dialectic. That's why, you know, we have to look at the different ways that they divide us.
Starting point is 00:57:10 You know, it was very explicit what Bill Ayers and Bernadine Doorn and the weathermen wanted to do. They wouldn't have a race war. Marx focused, the thing about economics was but that was really a class struggle, right? And the economics was a part of that class struggle.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And but it's always about dividing us. And that's why I said, you know, we have very careful about the Republican versus Democrat thing, any kind of division that they can use like that. And when we attach ourselves to a different ethnic group or different political group, these different types of things, those attachments draw us away from the principles that can be the bulwark against this kind of socialist hell that they want to put us in.
Starting point is 00:57:57 And Mama C, 1996, says I never learned so much as when I was homeschooling my kids. That's right. That's right. That's excellent. And that was the thing that I really missed about it.
Starting point is 00:58:08 That was where I put all of my effort before I had the show. As a matter of fact, that was, at one point, it was kind of bothering me because I was filling in for Alex at the very beginning. He said,
