At this stage, the reader might begin to wonder how in the world I have neglected to mention Pierre Elliott Trudeau and the clique which surrounds him, including Gérard Pelletier, Jean Chrétien, Jean Marchand, and a few others who were elected on the Liberal Party ticket from 1968 on, but who were previously identified in Quebec with Socialist and Marxist groups. I shall have a word to say about them shortly. At least these infiltrators were elected. But how about that coterie of assorted revolutionaries, Soviet agents, former NDP Socialists and Unilateral Disarmers who, although they were never elected, have held and still hold influential positions in the upper civil service, in ambassadorial posts abroad and in top positions of the CBC, the CRTC, the National Film Board, CIDA, etc.? People such as Jean-Louis Gagnon, Al Johnson, Graham Spry, Bob Bryce, Jacques Roy, William ('Bill') Lee, Hazen Size, Alan Gottlieb, Mark Starowicz, Robert Rabinovitch, Ed Clark, Michael Pitfield, John Grierson, Bernard Ostry, Escott Reid, Chester Ronning, and many others who were able to worm their way into key positions in the Establishment and to keep these positions even when there was a change of government in Ottawa.
Long before the 'Three Wise Men' from Quebec (Trudeau, Pelletier and Marchand) took over the federal Liberal Party in a typical Fabian Socialist coup d'etat, the civil service, the CBC, the National Film Board and other Crown agencies had been deeply penetrated by a group of Fabian Socialists, most of them graduates of the London School of Economics.
A most valuable analysis of the deadly subversion of our free society by the Fabian Socialists is Eric Butler's The Fabian Socialist Contribution to the Communist Advance. It is 'essential reading' for all my fellow countrymen who wish to defend freedom.
The famous French writer, Julien Benda, created a sensation in the '30s when he wrote a book which became a classic: La Trahison des Clercs (The Treason of the Intellectuals). A similar book could be written in the Canadian context, as it has been largely our universities which have produced the leadership of the whole Marxist Conspiracy - both the revolutionary Communist leadership and the élite echelons of the 'gradualist' Fabian Socialists.
The Comintern agent, O. D. Skelton, to whom we have already referred, had been a professor at Queen's University in Kingston. Another notorious Comintern agent, Stanley B. Ryerson (alias E. Roger), of the famous early Toronto Ryerson Family, recruited those who were to become future leaders of the Quebec Communist Party from among his students at Sir George Williams University in Montreal, including Gui Caron, Kent Rowley, Madeleine Parent, Camille Dionne and John Switzman.
It was Professor Frank Underhill, however, tutored by such Fabian masters as Harold Laski and George Bernard Shaw when he was at Balliol College, who later was responsible for hundreds of his pupils being able to infiltrate the civil services of both Ottawa and the provinces. In an article in the Toronto Star (27 November 1969), referring to the testimonial dinner given old-time Liberal Party advisor Frank Underhill, Peter Newman wrote:
They were all there, the big 'L' and small 'l' liberals - Lester Pearson, Frank Scott, Eugene Forsey, Bob Bryce, Escott Reid and Graham Spry among them - all moving out of public life now and watching their ideology being assaulted on the outside by the radical young, and on the inside by the technocrats.Further on, in the same article, we read:
While at Balliol himself, from 1911 to 1914, Underhill joined the Fabian Society and came under the influence of Bernard Shaw...And then the significant revelation: 'Underhill drafted the original Regina Manifesto which launched the CCF.'
It is the old familiar story of the Fabian Socialist who works openly in the Socialist camp and then infiltrates the Liberal Party. Most of those mentioned above were in this category, with Bob Bryce being the grey eminence of the federal civil service and Graham Spry being acknowledged as the 'father' of the CBC.
