Sounds like the topic was dropped as there's only 5 minutes left!

They sound like like a bunch of meddling socialist to me!

The Fabian Society was founded in 1884 as an intellectual Socialist think tank, based more on reformist methods rather than revolutionary. Prominent members in the early days included George Bernard Shaw and H G Wells.
Yes while it looks that way initially,now there are many prominent people in high places down as Fabians:

Hilary Benn
Hazel Blears
David Blunkett
Gordon Brown
Peter Hain
Hariet Harman
Chris Huhne
Alan Johnson
Ruth Kelly
David Milliband
Ed Milliband
(Jack Straw has been involved though not listed
for some reason)
Quite a list eh?
Also many other people with positions of power and influence within prominent schools and universties.
They sound like the higher freemasons to me judging by Greying Blondie's post.
Counter Freemason mebbe...well initially anyway. Their intellectual roots are beyond reproach...
Without going into too much detail this is as decent a summary as you'll get.

As far as I can see:
Propaganda is running rife at this point in our history,probably as never before,all persuasive and continuous.
The world has been shaped by the same powers that seek our 21st Century "salvation" through their control.These society's,Think Tanks,Foundations and clubs (known as the "Thousand Points of Light")are driving humanity toward "The Third Way/Wave".
From what's seen,I don't think this new world order will be a positive move for humanity as it's driven by deception, untruths and mass murder.
All in my own humble opinion of course.
Erm..Blondie the Fabian Society has been around for decades....

Or more accurately since 1884!
quote:The Fabian Society has played a central role for more than a century in the development of political ideas and public policy on the left of centre. Analysing the key challenges facing the UK and the rest of the industrialised world in a changing society and global economy, the society's programme aims to explore the political ideas and the policy reforms which will define progressive politics in the new century.

Since T.S. Eliot is being promoted in the media now,let's look at where the Culture Creationists originate:

quote:This article argues that economic ideas were a fundamental shaping force for popular and avant-garde writers between 1900 and 1930 by giving an overview of three economic movements and connecting these ideas to literary experiments. The first section traces the impact of Fabian socialism's economic ideas on George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells, and indicates a number of other Fabian writers. The second section describes the creation of an academic orthodoxy in economics, and then explores how Bloomsbury's intellectual climate produced the interrelated phenomena of Keynes's economics, Roger Fry's Omega Workshops, the Hogarth Press, and Virginia Woolf's literary innovation. The final section documents Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Katherine Mansfield's involvement with the ideas of the radical economic journal, The New Age, and suggests connections between these ideas and the writersâ formal experiments. By tracing these intellectual networks, a number of historical connections between the economic problems of this period and the present emerge, indicating exciting directions for new research.
