The Invisible Government

by Dan Smoot

The Invisible Government discusses The Council on Foreign Relations founded by Edward Mandel House and others who wanted to bring Socialism as defined by Marx into this country. Written in 1962 Smoot begins by saying, "Communists in government during World War II formulated major policies which the Truman administration followed; but when the known communists were gone, the policies continued, under Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson. The unseen _they_ who took control of government during World War II still control it. Their tentacles of power are wrapped around levers of political control in Washington; reach into schools, big unions, colleges, churches, civic organizations; dominate communications; have a grip on the prestige and money of big corporations." Dan Smoot believes the CFR is anti-American, pro-socialists, and works with organizations and individuals hostile to our form of government. He lists current members of the CFR as Dan Rather, Tom Browkaw, Charlene Hunter Gault, and many others

I have to give it 5 stars just based on what he reveals. Published in 1962 and reading this in 2022 helps to understand all that is going on all these years later. We have fallen and I don’t think there is any way to return. Thank the Lord he is the end of this story.

More information, albeit historical, about the men, women and organizations that have sold out the United States and our past allies, to the internationalists, the communists and the socialists, all in their long term goal of making America a cog in the grand socialist, one world government.

If you are not aware of the history, it is difficult to address the present, and if we do not address the present, and soon, I am not sure we will enjot the future.

Read This Book Now

This book is now over 60-years old, but it is full of wise insights and advice for a struggling nation. Dan Smoot was a true patriot who loved his nation and its constitution and freedom.

[Joelle Tambuatco · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is about a group of organizations, the most powerful of which is the Council on Foreign Relations that promote international socialist ideas and that have a high level of influence in government, business, media, and philanthropic circles. These groups are heavily interlocked, meaning they get their funding from the same sources, promote similar internationalist ideas, and have a lot of members in common. They are not formally affiliated--probably for plausible deniability that they have anything to do with each other in case one gets into trouble.

The book does get tedious to read sometimes because it's a description of one organization after another, what each does, and lists of some of the well known people who are members, but the information it conveys is very important, so I thought it was worth the trouble.

The author, Dan Smoot, was an FBI agent for ten years, 3 1/2 of which were spent working on Communist investigations in the industrial midwestern states. After retiring from the FBI, he became an independent publisher and commentator on radio and TV.

Summary and review

Truth

This book is probably very accurate, but you would want to do your own research. Everything in it makes total sense.

[Jordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting read that identifies a familiar pattern of influence, albeit with some archaic descriptors. The chapter on the Ad Council is a pertinent highlight.
