These are the transcripts (Part 1 of 4) of the United States House of Representatives Reece Committee hearings in 1953 into the "un-American" activities of tax-exempt foundations. This document is 2086 pages (pp. 1-586 are here) and outlines the major foundations push to "change" US education and their many other "endeavors". If you think that they were not trying (or capable) to "change" American education, government, etc. in a way that most people would find disgusting, one should look into Charlotte Iserbyt and John Taylor Gatto and their works for more documentation and information. Or, look into the Cox Committee (links below). Or, look into the foundations other proven "endeavors" in eugenics and the overpopulation movement (most notably "War Against the Weak" by Edwin Black). We can thank Charlotte Iserbyt and her associates for this important historical document. Please watch the following powerful (or powerfully sickening) interview with Norman Dodd for more information (he was the Research Director for the Reece Committee, which was continuing investigation into tax-exempt foundations' activities)...
