Interesting. Thanks for that bit of additional history, I'm always learning new things from you and my Substack friends 💖.

Interesting factoid: there is a town named New Harmony in southern Utah not far from where I live. Was this Indiana commune affiliated in any way with the Latter-day Saints (Mormons)?
That I don’t know…I’m only on ch 4 and haven’t come across anything about that. Newman moved on to Horace Mann and John Dewey, socialists credited with having created the modern public educational system in the U.S. both were of the communist persuasion of needing to undermine Christianity and remove religion from schools…etc…and here we are today, the dumbing down of American well underway
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist (communist), Francis Bellamy. Note how it slyly replaces 'defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic' with a pledge to a symbol -- the US Flag -- which despite its felt importance to many, especially military, is symbolic. Even 'under God' was only added in 1954; godless Socialists would never have included that. They also used the word 'indivisible' in an attempt to codify that it was now impossible for a state to leave the Union -- a question which today has renewed significance.
The Pledge is a classic example of 'control through language.' It must be subtle but persuasive.
Thank You, Bill…I didn’t know that, and it seems to me another very important piece to this puzzle of just how deeply infiltrated we have been and for so long! And yet so many still here to educate and defend 🙏❤️

Indeed. They have built their fortress tall and wide, and at one time it seemed unassailable. But it is now crumbling, for everyone to see.
Well stated and Amen!
