Overview

The book's central thesis is the conspiracy theory that there are many groups — secret societies, liberal groups, etc. — working to "turn America into an amoral, humanist country, ripe for merger into a one-world socialist state."

The groups allegedly involved in the conspiracy include:

• The Trilateral Commission
• The American Civil Liberties Union
• The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
• The National Organization for Women
• The National Endowment for the Arts
• The National Association of Biology Teachers
• Planned Parenthood
• The "major TV networks, high-profile newspapers, and newsmagazines"
• The United States Department of State
• The major philanthropic foundations:
  • The Rockefeller Foundation
  • The Carnegie Foundation
  • The Ford Foundation
• The World Council of Churches
• The National Council of Churches
• The United Nations
• UNESCO
• The "left wing of the Democratic Party"
• The Democratic Socialists of America
• Harvard
• Yale
• "2,000 other colleges and universities".

The Council for Secular Humanism criticizes this list, claiming that a secular humanist can often feel "isolated and beleaguered" even in these supposed strongholds, and points out that "This allegation of influence by secular humanism is rather amusing"^[1]
