Prosperity Stifled: Wealthy Elite's Deception to DASHES People's Vision + Impedes Human Evolution
In the turbulent political landscape of the mid-20th century, Bella Dodd, a former high-ranking member of the American Communist Party, sounded the alarm about the insidious nature of Communism. Her book, School of Darkness, published in 1954, painted a chilling picture of Communism as a destructive force, intent on infiltrating and undermining various institutions, including the political system and Christian civilization.
Born in Italy around 1904, Dodd went on to graduate from Hunter College and NYU Law School. She became head of the New York State Teachers Union and a member of the CPUSA's National Council until 1949. During her time within the Communist Party, Dodd was told that the Party would often find itself opposed not only to the government but also to U.S. workers.
Dodd's book portrays Communism as a satanic, hateful force, working to control organizations and further its agenda. She alleges that Communist influence extended into the Jewish community as part of this subversion, though her account reflects her personal experiences and controversial views shaped by anti-Communist and anti-Communist-defection narratives.
One of Dodd's most striking claims is that Communism operated by infiltrating and subverting social institutions like the churches, schools, mass media, and government to create "new types of human beings who would conform to the blueprint of the world they confidently expected to control." This strategy, she argued, was part of a long-term plan to make the family obsolete, with the Party and the state taking its place.
The subversion of the US was completed in the 1930s when FDR recognized Russia and deliberately turned a blind eye to the CPUSA's massive program of espionage and subversion. The war years saw the CPUSA renounce the class struggle and join the "Roosevelt camp of progress," which included "progressive capitalists." The Communist Party now assumed the responsibility of establishing a rigid discipline over the working class.
Involving women in the war effort was part of this long-range program to make the family obsolete. Dodd accuses certain mercenary forces in the free world of making profits from blood, in collaboration with the Communists. She tells the story of the ship "Erica Reed" whose medical supplies and food for Spain were diverted to Russia instead.
Dodd's book also implicates certain elements within the Jewish community as linked with Communist activities. However, it's important to note that her account reflects her perspective and is part of a larger anti-Communist narrative.
Recent research, such as the book "The Secret World of American Communism," confirms that the CPUSA was a puppet of Moscow. The Roosevelt and Truman administrations were practically run by Soviet agents, including Alger Hiss, Harry Hopkins, and Harry Dexter White. The Communist Party had 1100 members become Catholic priests in the 1930s and subverted the American education system by taking over the teacher's unions and learned societies.
Censorship is crucial to Communists, according to Dodd. She accuses Communism of being a deceitful system of international elite control that morphed into various movements and groups, including the New Left, Counter Culture, Civil Rights, Anti War and Woman's Liberation Movements, and later into a plethora of elite-sponsored NGO's, and media, Democratic and Republican party factions, Liberal, Zionist, Labor, Feminist and Gay Rights groups.
In summary, Dodd's book serves as a stark warning about the insidious nature of Communism and its aim to infiltrate and undermine various institutions. Her personal testimony, emphasizing her role as a Communist infiltrator turned critic, calls Communism a "school of darkness" characterized by hate and satanic influence. While her account reflects her perspective and is part of a larger anti-Communist narrative, it offers valuable insights into the tactics and strategies used by the Communist Party during this period.
- Articles discussing Bella Dodd's book, "School of Darkness," may delve into the allegations she made about Communism infiltrating various institutions, including the educational system, and general-news outlets could examine her claims about the long-term plan to control organizations for ideological purposes.
- As education is a foundational institution in any society, it would be of interest to investigate whether Communist influence extended into the American education system, as claimed by Bella Dodd, and assess the potential impact on the truth and knowledge passed down to future generations.
