Jay Rogers is current editor/writer of The Forerunner. Robert Weiner is known as "... the Father of Maranatha Christian Churches and Campus Ministries.  Although they decentralized in 1989, from those roots and his vision, God has raised up many faithful world changing Churches and ministries and sent hundreds of laborers into the harvest....Bob's Ministry is marked by the release of Apostolic Faith, Signs and wonders.  His vision is to win One Billion souls before Jesus returns!"

Although Maranatha reportedly disbanded, many of its churches and groups did not. "According to an article in the March issue of Charisma and Christian Life magazine, Maranatha leaders decided at a July 1989 board meeting that too much of a “spirit of control” had entered the ministry. The article also noted that four Maranatha elders suggested Weiner take a sabbatical during which time he would evaluate his “personal character.”

During the sabbatical, Weiner concluded that, “I have been struggling with anger, unkindness, contentiousness and a tendency to control,” the article quoted him as saying. 

In 1984, however, Weiner steadfastly denied that the ministry engaged in abuses of authority. According to the August 10, 1984 Christianity Today, Weiner was responding to the just-released conclusions of an ad hoc committee of cult watchers that charged Maranatha Christian Ministries with having “an authoritarian orientation with potential negative consequences for members.” Weiner accused the committee of having an anticharismatic bias

The Christianity Today article, and another article a year later in the Wall Street Journal, publicized allegations that Maranatha members were not allowed to date and were required to submit their lives to shepherds who made decisions for them. Marriages of staff members were subject to Maranatha’s entire board of elders. [Bob Weiner’s Plans Unclear a Year after Maranatha Disbands, CRI]

Information obtained from an individual, who was removed from Maranatha in March 2000, stated, "Apostle" Don Pfotenhauer is  the "apostle and spiritual covering" of Maranatha Christian Church, the campus church on the University of Minnesota whose pastor is Bruce Harpel. He started Maranatha at the U of M in 1982. He refused to repent when the whole Maranatha church structure was investigated between 1982-1984 and supposedly "disbanded" back in 1989.  Pfotenhauer's first church was called Way of the Cross." "In 1980, Don was released from full-time pastoral duties to devote himself to the growing number of churches and pastors that were seeking out his counsel.  That developed into the United Network of Christian Churches and Ministries to which he currently provides apostolic oversight, including churches in Eastern Europe." [Don] While it has been suggested that the shepherding movement ceased when Marantha "disbanded" current facts reveal otherwise. 

Don Pfotenhauer became a member of the Fort Lauderdale Five's secretive General Council in 1977. Qualifications were, " There are two qualifications for entering into the Council: either being a head elder of a community or having an "apostolic ministry" (in the broad sense of "apostolic")..."[General Council Minutes, December 17-19, 1975, Ann Arbor, Mich.] The  ecumenical "Five" were none other than the ecumenical shepherding/discipling instigators Bob Mumford, Derek Prince, Don Basham, Ern Baxter, and Charles Simpson mentioned in the article Shepherds in Disguise. Other ecumenical members of their General Council who were selected included Dick Key, Tom Monroe, Ray Ostendorf, Steve Clark, Ralph Martin, John Poole, Larry Christenson, Kevin Ranaghan, Jim Cavnar, Dick Coleman, Paul DeCelles, Bruce Yocum, Cardinal Suenens and others. It should be noted that the shepherding movement was connected to the Catholic Church from the beginning. 

Ralph Martin, a member of the Ft. Lauderdale General Council since 1974 or prior,  is president of Renewal Ministries, a Catholic charismatic mission organization dedicated to evangelization and renewal. It was founded in 1980 by Ralph Martin, considered by many to be the most effective Catholic evangelist since Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. During the mid-1960s, Ralph served as a national leader of Cursillo, a Catholic renewal movement, and helped it grow to national prominence. In the 1970s, he emerged as one of the main leaders of worldwide Catholic renewal. He worked closely with Cardinal Leon Joseph Suenens, of Belgium, to establish an international office for renewal in the Church. He is presently a leader of The Word of God, an ecumenical Christian community in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

From the 'General Council's Minutes", we see that Steve Clark and Ralph Winter were responsible for being liaisons from the General Council to their community coordinators for the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Service Committee. Lutheran Charismatic Renewal Service Committee, which Morris Vaagenes headed in 1977, had Larry Christenson on the Coordinating Committee. Don Pfotenhauer and Rod Lensch were supposed to form leadership and authority which would lead to prophetic leadership for LCRS. [See: General Council Minutes as forwarded]

Don Pfotenhauer was speaker at an ecumenical event called Wisdom 2001, April 26-29. The Conference ad reads, " Since about 1960, God has poured out His Spirit in a powerful and creative expression we call the Charismatic Movement.  God used many men and women to give birth to this move of His Spirit.  After 30 years, WISDOM 2001 gathered many of them together to draw forth from their experience the principal gems of wisdom they have learned to live by.  It is my conviction that this wisdom is so valuable that it needed to be collected in some form so that it can be passed on to 21st Century Christians....*

Some of those invited but unable to attend included Ralph Martin, Dorothy & Kevin Ranaghan, Rev. Tommy Tyson, Rev. Kenneth Hagin, Rev. Kenneth Copeland, Nicky Cruz, Rev. Howard Ervin, Rev. Vinson Synan, Rev. Harald Bredeson, Sr. Nancy Kellar, Sr. Linda Koontz, Rev. Jack Hayford, Fr. Tom Forrest, Rev. Terry Fullam, Rev. Chuck Smith, Rev. Bob Mumford, Rev. Derek Prince, Rev.

Since the beginning, the Heritage Foundation and the Free Congress Foundation have been led and/or received oversight by Weyrich, and their boards of directors are interlinked.

The Free Congress Foundation, The Heritage Foundation and the Conservative Caucus actively supported the Contras.  In 1985, Heritage Foundation, "donated" $100,000 to the Institute for North-South Issues, a conduit to the Contras, connected to Oliver North.

John Coleman wrote, "HERITAGE FOUNDATION Founded by brewery magnate Joseph Coors to act as a conservative think tank, Heritage was soon taken over by Fabianists Sir Peter Vickers Hall, Stuart Butler, Steven Ayzlei, Robert Moss and Frederich Von Hayek under the direction of the Club of Rome. This institute played a major role in carrying out British Labour leader Anthony Wedgewood Benn's order to "Thatcherize Reagan." Heritage is certainly not a conservative operation although at times it may look and sound like one. " [CONSPIRATORS' HIERARCHY: THE STORY OF THE COMMITTEE OF 300]

"The Committee of 300 through its many affiliated organizations was able to nullify the Reagan presidency. Here is what Stuart Butler of the Heritage Foundation had to say on the subject "The right thought it had won in 1980 but in fact it may have lost." What Butler was referring to was the situation in which the Right found itself when it realized that every single position of importance in the Reagan administration was filled by Fabianist appointees recommended by the Heritage Foundation. Butler went on to say that Heritage would use rightwing ideas to impose leftwing radical principles upon the United States, the same radical ideas which Sir Peter Vickers Hall, top Fabianist in the U.S. and the number one man at Heritage, had been openly discussing during the election year."

"Sir Peter Vickers Hall remained an active Fabianist even though he was running a conservative "think tank." As a member of the British oligarchical Vickers armament manufacturing family, he had position and power. The Vickers family supplied both sides in the First World War and again during Hitler's rise to power. Vickers' official cover was the University of California's Urban and Regional Development Institute. He was a longtime confidant of British Labour leader and Committee of 300 member Anthony Wedgewood Benn."

"Both Vickers and Benn are integrated with the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations, the premiere brainwashing institution in the world. Vickers uses his Tavistock training to very good effect when speech-making." [Coleman]

In the early 1980s Heritage received $2.2 million covertly from the Korean CIA, according to the November 1988 testimony of former South Korean intelligence director Chang S. Tong. And the same year a staff report from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs stated that Oliver North used Heritage as a cutout for some of his contra fundraising.         [ Heritage]

Heritage Foundation public-relations director Cheryl Rubin confirmed that Heritage Foundation received a total of $1 million via the Korea Foundation (Editor added: Moon) from 1993 through 1995. She said that Heritage stopped receiving funds from the Korea Foundation in 1996. The Wall Street Journal (8/10/95) reported that the Korea Foundation "is funded by South Korea's Foreign Ministry" and "is an affiliate of the South Korean government, according to Yoo Lee, a spokesman for South Korea's embassy" in Washington. [Accuracy] 

In 1977, The Heritage Foundation employed Roger Pearson on the editorial board of Policy Review, the monthly Heritage publication. Pearson is a British race scientist who organized the Northern League of Europe and became head of of the WACL, the multinational network of Nazi war criminals, Latin American death squad leaders and North American neo-fascists. In 1975, Pearson organized an American branch of WACL called the Council on American Affairs. Roger Pearson's research was financed by the Pioneer Fund of CNP's Tom Ellis.

Weyrich works with Plinio de Correa de Olivier's Tradition, Family & Property and endorsed Olivier's book, Nobility & Analagous Traditional Elites, on the necessity of restoring traditional Nobility & Elites to rule the world. "Sadly, most American elites are now devoted to self-interest, not to service, which is one reason why affairs here go so badly. Your book may help reawaken people to the realization that we need and can have an elite devoted to service."

The Rutherford Institute was founded in 1982 by John Whitehead and the Chalcedon Foundation, with financial assistance also from the Coors Foundation. Chalcedon founder and Christian reconstructionist R.J. Rushdoony was on the Rutherford Institute's first board of directors and was a speaker at Rutherford events. CNP members throughout the Institute's history, include Rushdoony, and founding board member Howard Ahmanson, founding board member Frank Schaeffer who produced a number of films with Whitehead, including Religious Apartheid and The Second American Revolution.

Whitehead is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Plymouth Rock Foundation.

By contrast, some of the minority, (chiefly myself and John Talcott), knew that America had deeply Biblical roots, and believed the Pilgrim anniversary should make that plain. We were impressed with the scholarly work of Verna M. Hall, author of "The Christian History of the Constitution," & the indispensable role of the Pilgrims in that history..." Plymouth Rock's executive director, Rus Walton, is a member of the Coalition on Revival steering committee.

Founder/President of the Rutherford Institute... has shifted to the left, according to a recent report in Christianity Today (12/7/98). The founder, John Whitehead, is making a conscious effort to make the Rutherford Institute known more as a civil-rights organization. For example, he has begun defending the civil rights of homosexuals, and he has publicly called on conservative Christians to stop using antihomosexual rhetoric. Alexis Crow, chief counsel for the Rutherford Institute (and former aide to Henry Kissinger), explained the evolution in Whitehead's thought. 'He has always worked for the underdog. And today homosexuals are an underdog.' ... Whitehead also stirred controversy over his decision to take the Paula Jones case. He says he took the case because he believed her and because he wanted to increase the profile of the Institute. The case, however, has cost his organization hundreds of thousands in legal expenses and lost donations. Whitehead says he likes President Clinton, and if it weren't for the president's position on abortion, would vote for him. Rutherford Institute is also recommended to Scientologists in need of legal defense.

""The Rutherford Institute is an organization that defends the rights of ALL religious persons," according to Crow, "regardless of denomination or creed and, as such, has defended, among others, Christians, Jews, atheists, Santerians, Native Americans, and Hare Krishna." [IFAS: Rutherford]

"...Fred Clarkson has provided detailed coverage of Whitehead and his ties to dominionism, and on the overlap between conspiracism and dominionism, in his book Eternal Hostility: The Struggle Between Theocracy and Democracy. 36

According to Clarkson:

"Many other Christian Right thinkers and activists have also been significantly influenced by Reconstructionism: the late Francis Schaeffer, whose book A Christian Manifesto was an influential call to evangelical political action that sold two millions copies; John Whitehead, president of the Rutherford Institute, a Christian Right legal group, and Michael Farris, 1993 GOP candidate for Lt. Governor of Virginia, among others.

"John Whitehead was a student and protégé of both Schaeffer and Rushdoony and credits them as the major influences on this thought.37 The Rutherford Institute, named for 17th century Scottish minister Samuel Rutherford, is an influential Christian Right legal group with chapters throughout the US, and offices in a number of countries. Rutherford, whose book Lex Rex is de rigueur in theocratic circles, defied the King of England by proclaiming that god's laws were higher than those of the King and were to be followed if they conflicted with the king's laws. As he has grown in prominence, Whitehead has sought to disassociate himself from Reconstructionism. However, perhaps he doth protest too much. Whitehead's roots are certainly in Reconstructionism, even if his present beliefs are not. Rushdoony, who wrote the outline for Whitehead's first book (which Whitehead researched in Rushdoony's library),38 introduced Whitehead at a May 1983 conference, calling him a man 'chosen by God,' and that consequently, 'there is something very important in the ministry of John Whitehead.' Rushdoony then spoke of 'our plans, through Rutherford,' which was founded the year before, in 1982, 'to fight the battle against statism and the freedom of Christ's Kingdom.'39 Rushdoony and fellow Chalcedon director and funder Howard Ahmanson were among the seven founding directors of the Rutherford Institute.40

"Prior to the founding of Rutherford, Rushdoony steered cases to Whitehead--including the 1979 case of Rev. Charles McIlhenny who was sued for firing his church organist because the organist was gay. McIlhenny reports not only that 'our theological compatibility made for a good working relations,' but that Whitehead's courtroom victory 'helped to nudge him closer to founding the Rutherford Institute.'41

"Whitehead also has a long train of dominion-oriented political statements. He says, 'The challenge of the Christian attorney...is to be a vocal, dynamic spokesman for the true legal profession--the one with Christ at its center--and to stop at nothing less than reclaiming the whole system.' He also said that the public education system, including universities, 'must be reinstilled with Christian theism.' If there is no hope of such reforms, he said, 'then Christians must remove their financial support from the system.'42 Whitehead also wrote a long favorable forward to Gary DeMar's 1987 book Ruler of the Nations (published as part of the Gary North's Biblical Blueprints Series), in which Whitehead endorses the Reconstructionist view of 'three types of government established by God--the family, the church, and civil government...under the ultimate authority of God.'43

"Nevertheless, Rutherford attorney Alexis I. Crow insisted to Skipp Porteous of the Institute for First Amendment Studies that 'John Whitehead is not a Reconstructionist and he never has been.'"44....In the acknowledgments to The Stealing of America, Whitehead explains that "Francis A. Schaeffer's advice and teachings on the essential priorities are reflected in the following pages. Dr. Schaeffer stands as one of the great philosophers of our times." Francis Schaeffer is considered to have provided the intellectual groundwork for dominion theology..." [Chip Berlet:Public eye]

Francis Schaeffer was "an earlier source of dominion theology...who died of cancer in 1984. Schaeffer's 1981 book A Christian Manifesto sold 290,00 copies in its first year, and remained one of the Christian Right's most important texts into the 1990's...Schaeffer advocated the use by Christians of civil disobedience to restore Biblical morality...several of the young men he influenced joined the Coalition on Revival (COR)..."

"As early as 1983, Reagan's assistant Faith Ryan Whittlesey convened an Outreach Working Group on Central America, through which White House personnel coordinated private organizations on media, direct mail, and legislative lobbying activities...More than fifty groups attended White House briefings on Central America. These included Christian Right organizations such as Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, Pat Robertson's Freedom Council, and [Weiner's] Maranatha Campus Ministries; the neo-conservative Institute of Religion and Democracy, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, and the semi-governmental American Institute for Free Labor Development (AIFLD) [long-standing ties to the CIA, was chaired by CNP's J.Peter Grace; Sklar, p. 66, 240]; plus the New Rights outfits Accuracy in Media, the Eagle Forum, the Heritage Foundation, the Conservative Caucus, Young Americans for Freedom and the Richard Viguerie Company....Whittlesey's office then circulated summary reports listing precise dates on which each organization hosted speakers, appeared on television and radio, mailed fundraising appeals...The agenda sheet of a May 18, 1983 White House meeting included a line asking participants, "How else can the administration be helpful?" Attached was a list of administration officials involved...These included Roger Fontaine and Walt Raymond of the National Security Council, Constantine Menges of the Central Intelligence Agency, Otto Reich of the Agency for International Development, Fred Ikle and Nestor Sanchez of the Defense Department....In addition to the media and lobbying work coordinated through Faith Ryan Whittlesey's office, member organizations...conducted direct fundraising and logistical tasks for the Nicaraguan Contras. At the center of the "private" aid network was the World Anti-Communist League (WACL)..." [Diamond, 'Roads', p. 218-219] 

"In no area of U.S. foreign and military policy did the Christian Right play a greater role than...Central America...lobbying and aid for the dictatorship of Guatemalan General Efrain Rios Montt, who assumed the presidency in a March 1982 coup d'etat. Rios Montt had been converted to Protestant pentecostalism after a group of ...California "Jesus Freaks" brought their Gospel Outreach church to...Guatemala in 1976. Immediately following the 1982 coup, Pat Robertson interviewed Rios Montt...and promised to send Rios Montt aid and missionaries. Weeks after the coup, a Gospel Outreach pastor came to the United States for a meeting between Reagan administration officials and Christian Right leaders...in January 1983, 350 U.S. evangelicals set sail in a boat carrying one million dollars' worth of [supplies]...By then, thousands of Guatemalans had been massacred and made homeless in one of the bloodiest counterinsurgency campaigns in Central America's history. The target was Guatemala's civilian, mostly indigenous population, seen as the base of support for the Guatemalan guerrilla movement. Some Gospel Outreach members reportedly took part in the regime's espionage and torture-interrogation operations. Entire villages were annihilated, while Rios Montt's U.S. backers justified the "scorched earth" campaign in religious terms. In one interview, a Gospel Outreach pastor defended the killings: "The Army doesn't massacre the Indians. It massacres demons, and the Indians are demon possessed; they are communists. We hold Brother Efrain Rios Montt like King David of the Old Testament. He is the king of the New Testament."  By the time Rios Montt was himself deposed in August 1983 by another military coup, his North American Christian Right backers had joined the White House Working Group on Central America...through which the Reagan administration coordinated the media, lobbying, and "freedom fighter" supply operations of private groups." [Diamond, 'Roads', p. 237-238]

"The Outreach Group was a vehicle for packaging PR themes, networking..."White House officials scoffed when a reporter asked whether they might be running a ministry of propaganda."...May 20, 1983, NSC official Walter Raymond Jr., a propaganda expert and former CIA officer informed...that the "Faith Whittlesey effort" was " off to a good start" and discussed the establishment of a "Coalition for a Democratic Central America". In a section headed "Private Funding Effort," Raymond wrote. "...The group made their first commitment of $400,000 which includes support to Freedom House, a pro-INF [Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces] group in Holland, Accuracy in Media, and a European based labor program. These are useful steps....Raymond and [Roy] Godson 'recommended funding via Freedom House or some other structure...Roy Godson, A Georgetown University professor, was a member of the 1980 CIA transition team and has been a paid consultant to the USIA, the NSC and the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He is Washington director of the National Strategy Information Center, which provided funding to Aruno Cruz. Godson has also been a paid advisor to the CIA-connected U.S. Youth Council, the parent of the International Youth Year Commission, which is assumed to be the "Intl. Youth Comm." named on the flow chart of North-supervised contra support entities...Godson solicited donations for North and the Nicaragua operation, at least once using the Heritage Foundation as a conduit. Whittlesey returned to Switzerland as ambassador in May 1985...and turned the embassy into a contra propaganda outpost. Journalist Diana Johnstone described the Whittlesey embassy as "a de facto branch office of the World Anti-Communist League and its protégés the contras."  [Sklar, p.244-245]

"Amy O'Neill, 32, of Delray Beach, is the daughter of Faith Ryan Whittlesey, who was ambassador to Switzerland, White House public liaison director, the most senior woman on Ronald Reagan's staff, a Pennsylvania state legislator and the Sunbeam Corp. board member who seconded the motion to fire "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap as president. 

"George O'Neill, 49, of Lake Wales, is the oldest of the "fifth generation" of the Rockefeller family, son of socialite Abby "Mitzi" Milton O'Neill -- eldest of "The Cousins" generation and director of the family empire headquarters -- a great-great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller and a devotee of far-right icons Pat Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafly and Florida's own U.S. Rep. Charles Canady. Their divorce is into its third year, fourth judge, 12th volume of court files and thousands of pages of documents in Orange County Circuit Court at Orlando. Trial is set to start March 6 and last three weeks. At issue: The future of five children, ages 1 to 8, and the secrecy of the legendary Rockefeller family trusts, believed to be worth billions. Amy O'Neill's lawyers have accomplished what few thought possible: getting a New York court to order release of copies of the 1934 trust established by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and other trusts created within the family.

"George O'Neill has maintained throughout the divorce proceedings that he has only small and sporadic income from the trusts, though he did admit receiving $795,000 in allowance from his parents in 1997. He claimed he had no marital assets to divide with his wife, and that he and his five siblings have only an "expectancy" of money from the trusts.

"Faith Whittlesey, now a lawyer in Cambridge, Mass., would say only: "It's an inexpressible tragedy for the children and for the families, and it's a mystery for me how the Rockefeller and O'Neill family can allow this to continue." [Family Trusts: 1-9-2000]

Rev. Donald Wildmon- CNP Board of Governors 1982, member 1984-85, 1988, 1996, 1998; United Methodist minister; president, American Family Association, Inc. (AFA) a Christian organization promoting Christian ethics in society with special emphasis on the media; author, 22 books; listed in, "Men of Achievement," published by International Biographical Centre in Cambridge, England, among others; Founder in 1977 and executive director of the National Federation for Decency, NFD, which became American Family Association in 1988; was/is a member of Steering Committee of Coalition on Revival (COR); Executive Director of Christian Leaders for Responsible Television--CLeaR-TV

AFA's divisions include, AFA Foundation, AFA Journal, American Family Radio, Center for Law & Policy, Local Affiliates, Office of Government Affairs.  

"...Wildmon's/AFA's strategy is to transform society or to attempt to "Christianize" its institutions, thereby pressuring the ungodly to live like saints...Wildmon openly enlists and receives support from almost any organization or religion, just as long as the social gospel is furthered. For example, in 1993 he advertised that the AFA is endorsed by more than 200 top Christian leaders--his list includes 81 Roman Catholics, 11 Episcopalians, 19 Southern Baptists, 16 United Methodists, four Greek Orthodox, three American Baptists, and a hodge-podge of other representatives of professing Christian groups. Current endorsements include those by Catholic John Cardinal O'Conner, Catholic-sympathizer Chuck Colson, pop psychologist Dr. James Dobson, and D. James Kennedy...Wildmon held a position with Sun Myung Moon's now defunct Coalition for Religious Freedom (CRF). (Moon is the founder of the Unification Church, and the self-proclaimed Messiah to the world.) Other so-called evangelicals that served with Wildmon at CRF as executive committee and/or advisory board members were [CNP's] Tim LaHaye (CRF's paid chairman!), Paul Crouch (TBN Network's infamous founder), Hal Lindsey, [CNP's] Marlin Maddoux (Point Of View nationwide radio talk show host), [CNP's] James Robison, Jimmy Swaggart, and [CNP's] D. James Kennedy (author and pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida)--an agenda of social activism certainly makes for strange ecumenical bedfellows.

"In 1972, Carter Wrenn and Tom Ellis founded the Congressional Club PAC (CCPAC), which was later renamed the Conservative Club PAC. The pair started the PAC to elect Jesse Helms and to "keep him [Helms] there." During the 1980s the Conservative Club blossomed into the biggest PAC in the United States, raising between $33 million and $50 million." http://www.publicintegrity.org/reports/BOP2000/forbes_art2.htm

The Pioneer Fund served as a small part of "a multimillion dollar political empire of corporations, foundations, political action committees and ad hoc groups" active in 1980s (Washington Post, March 31, 1985, p. 1; A16) developed by Tom Ellis, Harry Weyher, Marion Parrott, R.E. Carter-Wrenn and Jesse Helms. The Fund has served as a nexus between academic theory and practical political ideology. It's leadership, especially, Harry Weyher, Thomas F. Ellis and Marion A. Parrott are part of an interlocking set of directorates and associates linking the Pioneer Fund to Jesse Helms' high-tech political machine. Ellis, for example, simultaneously served as Chairman of the National Congressional Club and the Coalition for Freedom, co-founder of Fairness in Media, a board member of the Educational Support Foundation and Director of the Pioneer Fund. Harry Weyher, president of the Pioneer Fund served as lead counsel for Fairness in Media. [Ellis]

Founder of Pioneer Fund, "Colonel Draper, ... believed geneticists could scientifically prove the inferiority of Negros.... Under his direction, the Pioneer Fund's original charter outlined a commitment to "improve the character of the American people" by encouraging the procreation of descendants of the original white colonial stock." Draper turned more and more to academic irredentists still dedicated to white supremacy and eugenics. ...

"The Pioneer Fund has changed little since its inception. An article in the New York Times on December 11, 1977 characterized it as having "supported highly controversial research by a dozen scientists who believe that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites." In the 1960s Nobel Laureate William Shockley (1910-1989), a physicist at Stanford University best known for his "voluntary sterilization bonus plan" received an estimated $188,710 from the Pioneer Fund between 1971 and 1978. Arthur Jensen, an educational psychologist, garnered more than a million dollars in Pioneer grants over the past three decades. Three years after being recruited by Shockely, Jensen published his now famous attack on Head Start in the prestigious Harvard Education Review. Jensen claimed the problem with black children was that they had an average IQ of only 85 and that no amount of social engineering would improve their performance. Jensen urged "eugenic foresight" as the only solution. (7) [Ellis]

Roger Pearson, whose Institute for the Study of Man has been one of the top Pioneer beneficiaries over the past twenty years ($870,000 from 1981-1996) is the clearest example of the extremist ideology of the Fund's leadership...Taking account of all groups linked to Pearson, Pioneer support between 1975-1996 exceeds one million dollars - nearly ten percent of the total Pioneer grants for that period. [Ellis]

"For an overview on 'race and intelligence,' Murray and Herrnstein recommend two books by three Pioneer Fund recipients: Audrey Shuey, Frank C. J. McGurk, and R. Travis Osborne. McGurk is the main authority they cite to 'prove' that IQ tests are not racially biased. He was one of the 'scientific' mainstays of the segregationist movement in the southern US. In 1959 McGurk and Shuey became leading members of the International Association for the Advancement of Ethnology and Eugenics, first publisher of Mankind Quarterly. Other members included Senator Jesse Helms and the oil billionaire Hunt brothers. Arch-racists in the South introduced Shuey's book in court during the 1960s to argue for continuing school segregation and denying the vote to black people. University of Georgia professor Osborne also testified in court against school integration. Osborne was still, in 1992, trying to prove the long-discarded theory that brain size is somehow related to intelligence." [Racism, Intelligence and the Working Class]

"Much of The Bell Curve's racist drivel comes from Mankind Quarterly, whose principle is that the "Negroid" race is inferior to all others, and from professors funded by the pro-Nazi Pioneer Fund (PF). Behind this fascist gang stand important members of the US ruling class.

"Seventeen authors cited in The Bell Curve are Mankind Quarterly (MQ) contributors. Ten are former or present editors or members of its editorial advisory board. MQ's avowed purpose is to counter "Communist" and "egalitarian" influences in anthropology. From its start in 1960, its founders and funders believed that white people were genetically superior. Robert Gayre was the founder of MQ and its editor-in-chief until 1978. As a champion of South African apartheid and a member of the ultra-right Candour League of white-ruled Rhodesia, he testified in court in 1968 that black people as a group are "worthless." Other MQ contributors have included Henry Garrett of Columbia University, who wrote pamphlets for the pro-segregation White Citizens Councils; Corrado Gini, the leader of fascist Italy's eugenics movement; and Ottmar von Verschner, a leading Nazi race-scientist and academic mentor of the concentration camp butcher Joseph Mengele."

"The key figure in the PF network is Roger Pearson, who is close to Jesse Helms. Sam Crutchfield, a lawyer for Helms, has been the lawyer for Pearson's Institute for the Study of Man. The PF has given Pearson over $787,400, mostly for editing Mankind Quarterly and The Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies. The last publishes articles by PF recipients, notably Arthur Jensen, Michael Levin, and Richard Lynn. Thomas Ellis, a PF director, is a long-time friend and campaign manager for Helms."  [Racism, Intelligence and the Working Class]

"In 1958, Pearson, living in London, led the Northern League. This white-power organization included former Nazi SS officials. Willis Carto, founder of the anti-black and anti-semitic Liberty Lobby, arranged a 1959 U.S. speaking tour for him. Pearson soon moved to the U.S. to edit the neo-Nazi publication Western Destiny. In Eugenics and Race he asserted: "If a nation with a more advanced, more specialized, or in any way superior set of genes mingles with, instead of exterminating, an inferior tribe, then it commits racial suicide. "

"This track record won Pearson influence in Washington, DC. In 1975 he became editor of the journal of the American Security Council...Pearson also headed the U.S. chapter of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL). In 1977 he became the international chair of this nest of fascist vipers. He organized its 1978 convention, which featured two U.S. Senators as keynote speakers. Then he was exposed as having recruited open neo-Nazis to WACL, and was forced to resign. Four years later,[1982] President Reagan personally thanked Pearson for his "substantial contributions to promoting and upholding those ideals and principles that we value at home and abroad." [Racism, Intelligence and the Working Class]

"Pearson eventually replaced Gayre as editor of The Mankind Quarterly. Pearson, more than most, saw the potential in manipulating genetics for political goals when, in 1959, he wrote Eugenics and Race. He argued that the white race is endangered by inferior genetic stock, but with proper use of modern biological technology "a new super-generation" descended from "only the fittest" of the previous generation can be produced. Whoever adopted such a scientific breeding program "would dominate the rest of the world". Moving to the United States Pearson quickly became involved in far-right politics, first editing Western Destiny and later the short-lived The New Patriot, a magazine designed to conduct "a responsible but penetrating inquiry into every aspect of the Jewish Question". It included articles such as "Zionists and the Plot Against South Africa", "Early Jews and the Rise of Jewish Money Power", and "Swindlers of the Crematoria". Despite his fascist connections, Pearson became increasingly well connected with the Republican Party and the right-wing think-tank, The Heritage Foundation." [A dead idea that will not lie down,Searchlight, July 1998]

"Henry Garrett, Chair of Psychology at Columbia University from 1941 to 1955. A Virginia born segregationist, Garrett was a key witness defending segregation in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. During the 1950s and 1960s, Garrett helped to distribute grants for the Pioneer Fund and was one of the founders of the International Association for the Advancement of Eugenics and Ethnology (IAAEE) in 1959. The IAAEE brought together academic defenders of segregation in the USA and apartheid in South Africa. The Pioneer Fund supported the IAAEE and other institutions working to legitimise race-science, including the IAAEE's journal, The Mankind Quarterly." [The Funding of the Science, Searchlight, July 1998]

Roger Pearson is also a writer and organizer for the Nazi Northern League of northern Europe, who in 1977, joined the editorial board of Policy Review, the monthly Heritage publication. William Shockley, Arthur Jensen and Roger Pearson, who has written that "inferior races" should be "exterminated" were funded while Tom Ellis was director on the Pioneer board. At that same time, Ellis served on the CNP's thirteen-member executive committee with Holly Coors, Paul Weyrich, and Heritage Foundation president, Edwin Feulner until June 1989. Oliver North and Reed Larson also joined the executive committee. Recall that in order to be a CNP member, a biography/resume must be submitted by a CNP member and the executive must have a unanimous vote in order to be asked to be a member.

The National Congressional Club was Jesse Helms' PAC based in Raleigh and directed by Helms' senior advisor, attorney Tom Ellis. National Congressional Club, raised $9.8 million in the 1982 election cycle. In the 1984 cycle, the club raised $5.7 million while Helms campaign committee raised $13.99 million, [Helms] The Club dissolved in the 1990's, with many staffers absorbed into other campaigns.

The Congressional Club began after the 1972 Senate campaign, when Ellis retained Richard Viguerie (CNP) to help pay off the Helms campaign debt. Ellis and Viguerie built the Congressional Club mailing list to more than 300,000 regular contributors -- a constituency for Helms and a major financial resource within the conservative movement... Besides Viguerie, Phillips, and Dolan connections, Helms is actively represented in Weyrich's coordinating groups. [Saloma 90-92]
