Cultural Revolutions: Making American the New Bosnia - The Agenda of the Ford Foundation
March 23, 2003
by Ivo Fisic
"The 21st century offers humankind the prospect of a peaceful, prosperous and cooperative
global order--the historic possibility that globalization can be a force for the common
good."- Ford Foundation statement on their "Peace and Social Justice Program" website.
If you visit the Ford Foundation website, you will find a site filled with such altruisms
as "we must have justice and equality for all". If you scratch beneath the surface, or
simply look a little harder on their websites you will find certain words used again and
again. These words always echo the theme of a world community, a "global order". The
Ford Foundation decries the notion of de-centralization as a great threat to the new world
order they are fighting so hard to create.
What is this new world order? A famous axiom goes that you know the true nature of a person
by the company he or she keep, so let's examine the company the Ford Foundation not only
keeps, but sponsors. In examining these associations we can begin to get a sense of what
this non-profit trust hopes to create through its grants and donations.
"California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn't like it should leave"-
Mario Obledo, MALDEF Co-founder. June, 1998 (from the Tom Leykis Radio Show)
MALDEF (Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund) has received grants and
donations from numerous organizations, including the Carnegie Foundation, but its largest
contributor by far has been the Ford Foundation, which funds 54 percent of its operations.
In the above quote, Mario Obledo made clear the goal of this organization, namely the
eradication of non-Hispanic people's rights in California. In addition to the comment
quoted, he has also stated that Hispanics will take over all political institutions in
California and that those who don't like living under Hispanic rule should "go back
to Europe".
In 1983, The Ford Foundation released a paper titled "Refugees and Migrants: Problems and
Program Responses" that outlined a strategy to undermine the efforts of the INS to deport
illegal aliens and work towards legitimizing their presence illegally in America (from
having illegal aliens being counted officially in the census to forcing the INS to provide
all aliens arrested with a list of "rights" and a right to appeal, and other such measures,
some more successful than others). Groups such as MALDEF have followed the Ford
Foundation's outline.
A legal arm of this effort can be found in the NLG (National Lawyer's Guild), also an
association funded largely through The Ford Foundation. To understand what the National
Lawyer's Guild is all about, let us use their own words: "The National Lawyer's Guild
further resolves: 1. To support the movement for full democratic rights for all non-citizens
and an end to all deportations and manipulations of the borders carried out in the interests
of capitalism ….3. To require the granting of political asylum to applicants fleeing from
repressive governments such as those of Haiti, Mexico, Thailand, Chile and Iran; 4. To
eliminate all anti-communist provisions presently included in the immigration act".
One can fairly deduce from their own words that the NLG is, at the very least, strongly in
sympathy with communist causes and that it views the term "illegal alien" as being nothing
more than a capitalist term to further exploit the underclass.
I have only selected two of the many organizations that The Ford Foundation is funding. There
are many more, all of which echo the theme of decriminalizing illegal immigration. Is The
Ford Foundation sympathetic to the Hispanic cause? Hardly. The Hispanic Movement is largely
an artificial one created for other motivations. Before the advent of the Ford Foundation,
"Hispanic" groups were founded to assist new LEGAL immigrants in better acclimatizing
themselves to their new home. The movements of today stress complete isolation from
Americanism, and the great majority of them receive money from The Ford Foundation
(and many of those were even started under the tutelage of The Ford Foundation). The new
immigrants, legal or otherwise, are now being told that the nation they have sought out
to experience a higher standard of living should somehow accommodate them, instead of the
other way around.
The Ford Foundation was once a heavy contributor to other minority groups, all of which have
one thing in common, a socialist agenda. It is, in this writer's opinion, the goal of The
Ford Foundation to import into America a large population of poor immigrants more sympathetic
to their true agenda, the creation of a global socialist society. In the coming weeks and
months I hope to provide more proof of these claims. This article is intended to be an
introduction to a cancer that exists in America today, calling itself The Ford Foundation.
A caveat: This is not meant as an attack against "Hispanic" culture or diversity. One can
preserve one's heritage, even speak their native tongue, without eschewing the culture from
which they are willing to receive benefits. From an editorial standpoint, those who wish to
reap the rewards of our society should show it the respect of learning its language and
becoming a part of it's evolving culture, not demanding the culture somehow change to
accommodate it.
The Mexican-American War is over, but some are still fighting it, and some are sponsoring it,
not out of a sense of compassion for a lost Mexican cause, but as a way of causing dissention
and discord, and creating an influx of potential Socialist voters to overthrow our American
system. The American West has become American. Mexican culture has contributed to the
culture of America, just as the Irish, the Italian, the Ivory Coast African, the Chinese,
etc. cultures have contributed to that unique experiment that is America. The injustices
of the past, whether they be against Mexican landowners on the wrong side of the border or
against Native Americans will not be remedied by the cessation of our American states to
Mexico or any other nation. If this is the goal of any individual who calls themselves
American citizens, I recommend you leave the country and try living in Mexico.
Many groups who do provide valuable sources of information related to The Ford Foundation
also tend to have a hidden agenda of their own, mainly the notion that America is somehow
a "European" nation that should be kept that way. Groups such as The Ford Foundation, and
the hate groups they sponsor, only add fuel to the fire that other equally hateful groups
would wish to start for other reasons. I wish to completely separate myself from any
racially or culturally exclusive groups, as I do not believe America is anything but an
eclectic mix of cultural influences, none of which are any less important than any other.
I would sincerely wish to preserve this culture. I would wish to preserve English as the
ONLY language of America, for an America divided (whether by language or sharp cultural
delineations) will not long stand. The Ford Foundation seeks to divide and conquer to
create a World Government whereas I would rather see us unite to create a collection of
autonomous and diverse communities with a common language, a common set of ideals, a
common cultural heritage.
