Carl Teichrib: March 3, 2014

"It is so easy for such a group, wielding the power which the support of the great foundations gives it, to become a bulwark against freedom of inquiry and freedom of instruction. Power does corrupt. Nor are the wielders of power always aware that their power is corroding their judgment." - Tax-Exempt Foundations, 1955. Broadcast 33 of Forcing Change Radio is now online. This show, which is part 1 in a 2-part series, examines the history of "change agents" and "influence pedlars" in North America - particularly, how major progressive think tanks and foundations have used their influence in shaping policy direction and public discourse. You know the names: Carnegie, Ford, Rockefeller… Utilizing the research work done in the January 2012 edition of Forcing Change magazine, Carl Teichrib demonstrates the rise and influence of this important power bloc. During this series he reveals the pressure system behind the move to "create a new society," including activities meant to propel a common global security apparatus.
