Then And Now From the Mail opens this week with a question: Who said this, and when? "We cannot avoid the repercussions of a world cataclysm.... We are gravelyconcernedwith the future of supernatural religion in this country. Here, as elsewhere, it is seriously threatened by growing evils of which our Holy Father has but recently warned the world. These are the evils of 'false doctrine, immorality, dis belief, and reborn paganism'." The answer: The U.S. bishops, in a pastoral letter to Catholics of this country,releasedduring their annual meetingin Washing ton, D.C., on November 17, 1941.

Cry Havoc!

A Wanderer reader from Virginia has presented FTM with a terribly, frighteningly important new book by veteran American journalist Ralph de Toledano, who is,by the way, 90years old. Cry Havoc! The Great American Bring-Downand HowIt Hap pened ($18.00, Anthem Books, Suite 1010,500 Twenty-Third St., NW, Washington, DC, 20037) is the type of book FTM would like all Wanderer readers to read and discuss in this space. It is the kind of book that leaves the reader scratching his head and asking, "Can this really be the way things work?" Over the past five years, FTM has been awakening to the facts and conclusions that de Toledano marshals with an impressive clarity: We (or most of us) are the subjects of a scheme hatched in Germany in the late 19th century and carried out in a system atic, step-by-step plan involving schools, media, corporations, governments (especially the spy agencies in Germany, England, Russia, and the United States), who have all worked to deconstruct the family, isolate individuals, dumb us down, and make us sex- obsessed, all in a project to destroy traditional Christianity. De Toledano's book is about the Frankfurt Institute, its origins and the other institutes it spawned. It begins with Karl Marx and his dream of destroying the patriarchal family; the dream is tak en up by Willi Muenzenberg, who set up the Communist Interna tional at Lenin's request, and then its sister organization in Ger many, the Institute for Social Research, which established "sexu al liberation"as the most essentialingredientfor sinkingWestern Christian civilization. De Toledano shows how key German, British, and American industrialists and educators worked with the Bolsheviks to pro mote the principles of the Frankfurt School. Until he was liqui dated by Stalin, writes de Toledano, Muenzenberg "created groups that passed the hat for causes that would seem worthy to the uninformed — the proceeds all going into the Comintern treasury. He founded magazines such as the Arbeiter Illustrierte, selling a carefully disguised party line to a mil lion Germans; he published two daily newspapers in Berlin ... he drew millions of dollars from generous liberals and outright Communists in New York and Hollywood; he secretly published PM, a New York propaganda newspaper funded originally by American millionaires, directed from a suite in Fifth Avenue's posh Plaza Hotel by Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett; he worked alternately with the Nazis during the Hitler-Stalin Pact period and with British Intelligence after Hitler invaded the Soviet Union; he bought editors and newsmen by the score; and he did more to poison the wells of public opinion than any other- agent of the Soviets. "Late in 1922, a meeting ordered by Lenin was held at Mos cow's Marx-Engels Institute — a meeting disastrous to Western civilization and culture. Present were Muenzenberg and Georg Lukacs, former Commissarof Culture in the Bela Kun regime in Hungary and a profound believer in what Miguel de Unamuno had sardonically noted — that 'madness ceases to be madness when it becomes collective'." Lukacs, who described himself as a "theatromaniac," played an instrumental role in creating an intellectual over-class of writ ers, playwrights, musicians, actors, andjournalists across Europe and the United States to wage war on Western civilization. Their first target to capture was the teachers' colleges, followed by the universities, followed by elementaryand secondaryeducation. Founded in 1920, the Frankfurt School extended its contacts to Cambridge and the London School ofEconomics, and united lead ing figures in university and government in England to the Poht- buro in Moscow, and eventually to the United States, where the International Institutefor SocialResearch set up shopon the cam pus of Columbia University in New York. Later, key figures in the Frankfurt School would make their way into the intelligence services run by the Nazis, the British, the Russians, and the Amer icans: It was all united in a common purpose — to promote the goals of cultural Marxism: feminism, matriarchy, free love, and the abolition ofreligion. In telling this story, de Toledano names all the important names from Europe and the United States who he says were engaged in this. Many of these names are familiar to most informed Ameri cans: Nelson Rockefeller, John Dewey, William Donovan and his cousin FDR, the Hollywood moguls, and east coast publishers. To add to the interest and importance of this book, de Toledano recalls many conversations he had with the principal characters in this sordid talefrom his own rich journalistic pastin Washing ton. Indeed, one of the most fascinating aspects of de Toledano's book is the role of journalists in building this New World Disor der, ^d the nurturing of journalists who will do the bidding of the "intelligence" agencies, and the blacklistingof journalists who will not. If the lessons of this remarkable book could be summed up in one line, it is this: The elites who direct our political and eco nomic affairs use war as an instrument of social change. Or, as FDR once famously said: "In politics, nothing happens by acci dent. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." Screening Out The Pope On the world stage today, there is one heroic personality who is standing against the New World Disorder, and that is our Ger man Holy Father, Benedict XVI. And apropos to the above, a Wandererreaderfrom London sent this interestingbit of info from The Catholic Herald: UTTL _ T^T-4 . THE WANDERER
