Chapter
Four: ROOSEVELT'S SOCIALIST
MANIFESTO
The
forces of "the few," i.e., the establishment elite, have been in the ascendancy since Jackson's last
message of 1837. President Martin Van
Buren tried briefly and failed to stem their
power. Abraham Lincoln tried, and also failed. Every president since Lincoln has neglected even to try to
curb the power of the elite.
On the one hand is the "money monopoly" controlling the status quo and the ruling establishments. On
the other hand is the "revolution
of rising expectations" superficially created by socialist revolutionaries, but in fact
socialism in theory and practice is created,
supported and controlled with debt and
political power created by the "money monopoly." In this chapter we will look at an American
socialist manifesto, the forerunner of
FDR's New Deal, written by Clinton
Roosevelt in 1841. Clinton Roosevelt, one of the lesser known Roosevelt cousins was descended from the New
York banking Roosevelts and linked by
his socialist writings to the 20th century
Roosevelts. Then in Chapter Five we will describe a more well known manifesto, that of Karl Marx, also financed
from the United States. 25
The Federal Reserve Conspiracy
The "money monopoly" creates and nurtures socialism. Let's
start to probe this idea with the
Roosevelts, who have been both bankers and
socialists simultaneously. While
one branch of the Roosevelt family developed the Bank of New York and the sugar refining industry,
another branch of the family worked its
way into practical politics and even theoretical political philosophy.
For example, long before Franklin Delano Roosevelt became President, James J. Roosevelt was a member of
the New York State Legislature in 1835,
1839, and 1840, a member of the Loco Focos and
distinguished himself by opposition to Whig attempts to eliminate "ballot stuffing. " (1) Roosevelt was not only powerful within
Tammany Hall's inner circle but
according to one biographer, "he was in effect liaison officer between the Hall and Wall Street, one who
carried orders from the bankers to the
politicians and dictated nominations and elections in a ruthless manner. " (2) James Roosevelt was the 1840s link between
the inner circles of Tammany Hall and
Wall Street banking including the Roosevelts' own Bank of New York. But it was Clinton
Roosevelt, born in 1804, son of Elbert
Cornelius Roosevelt, who provided a socialist manifesto some years before Marx plagiarized his more famous
Communist Manifesto from French
Socialist Victor Considerant (see Chapter Five). Clinton Roosevelt was a 19th-century cousin
to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and incidentally
also related to President Theodore
Roosevelt, John Quincy Adams, and President Martin Van Buren. Clinton Roosevelt's only literary effort is
contained in a rare booklet dated 1841.
(3) In essence it is a Socratic discussion between the author Roosevelt (i.e., the few) and a
"Producer" presumably representing the rest of us (i.e., the many). Roosevelt proposes a totalitarian government
much like Karl Marx's, where all
individuality is submerged to a collective run by an elitist aristocratic group (i.e., the few,
or 26 Roosevelt's Socialist Manifesto the vanguard in Marxist terms) who design
and enact all legislation. Roosevelt
demanded abandonment of the Constitution to achieve his goals:
P. (Producer): But I ask again: Would you at once abandon the old doctrines of the Constitution ? A. (Author): Not by any means. Not any more
than if one were in a leaky vessel he
should spring overboard to save himself
from drowning. It is a ship put hastily together when we left the British flag, and it was then thought an
experiment of very doubtful issued The Rooseveltian system depended
"First, on the art and science of
cooperation. This is to bring the whole to bear for our mutual advantage." It is this cooperation,
i.e., the ability to bring the whole to
bear for the interest of the few, that is the encompassing theme of writings and preachings from Marx to the
present Trilateral Commission. In the
Roosevelt schema each man rises through fixed and specified grades in the social system and is
appointed to a class of work to which he
is best suited. Choice of occupation is strictly limited. In the words of Clinton Roosevelt: Whose duty will it be to make appointments
to each class? A. The Grand
Marshal's. P. Who will be accountable
that the men appointed are the best
qualified? A. A Court of physiologists,
Moral Philosophers, and Farmers and
Mechanics, to be chosen by the Grand Marshal and accountable to him. P. Would you constrain a citizen to submit
to their decisions in the selection of a
calling? 27 The Federal Reserve Conspiracy A. No. If any one of good character
insisted, he might try until he found
the occupation most congenial to his tastes and
feelings. (5) Then Roosevelt invented
the Marshal of Creation, whose job it is
to balance production and consumption, much like a master planner: P. What is the duty of the Marshal of the
Creating or Producing order? A. It is to estimate the amount of produce
and manufactures necessary to produce a
sufficiency in each department below him.
When in operation, he shall report excesses and deficiencies to the Grand Marshal. P. How shall he discover such excesses and
deficiencies ? A. The various merchants
will report to him the demand and supplies
in every line of business, as will be seen hereafter. P. Under this order are agriculture,
manufactures and commerce, as I
perceive. What then is the duty of the Marshal of Agriculture?
A. He should have under him four regions, or if not, foreign commerce must make good the deficiency. P. What four regions? A. The temperate, the warm, the hot region
and the water region. P. Why divide them thus ? 28
Roosevelt's Socialist Manifesto
A. Because the products of these different regions require different systems of cultivation, and are
properly subject to different minds.
(6) Seventy-five years later, in 1915,
Bernard Baruch was invited by President
Woodrow Wilson to design a plan for a defense mobilization committee. This Baruch plan subsequently
became the War Industries Board, which
absorbed and replaced the old General Munitions Board. The War Industries Board as a concept was
similar to cooperative trade
associations, a device long desired by Wall Street to control the unwanted rigors of competition in the
marketplace, and much like Clinton
Roosevelt's 1841 Plan. Committees of industry, big business and small business, both represented in Washington,
and both with Washington representation
back home ... this was to be the backbone of
the whole structure. By March,
1918, President Wilson, acting without Congressional authority, had endowed Baruch with more power
than any other individual had been
granted in the history of the United States. The War Industries Board, with Baruch as its
chairman, became responsible for
building all factories and for the supply of all raw material, all
products, and all transportation, and
all its final decisions rested with chairman
Baruch. The War Industries Board
was the organizational forerunner of the
1933 National Recovery Administration and some of the 1918 WIB corporate elite appointed by Baruch - Hugh
Johnson, for example - found
administrative niches in Roosevelt's NRA Plan. Comparison of Roosevelt's New Deal, actually written by
Gerard Swope of General Electric, with
Clinton Roosevelt's early 1841 scheme shows a
remarkable similarity. 29 The Federal Reserve Conspiracy Clinton Roosevelt - The Science of
Government (New York 1841) This is a proposal for a totalitarian
government without individual rights run
by an elitist establishment. Clinton Roosevelt was a cousin of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The book has been
removed from the current Library of
Congress catalog although it was listed in the earlier 1959 edition. THE

by Emanuel J. Josephson, as part of his
Roosevelt's Communist Manifesto (New York: Chedney Press, 1955).
