1313 Group

[dashen]

For nearly a hundred years the combined influence centered in this group has affected world events more than anyone can know.The various foundations and organizations that participated in this information Clearing House of public control are still very much in power and influence today.This is the same 1313 group that gets mentioned together with the Weather Underground Black Panthers and other subversive groups of the sixties. Myron C Fagan in his 1967 speech called out the 1313 group among others such as the CFR as Illuminati front organizations used to carry out their bidding across the globe  One of the most interesting and remarkable aspects of the development of modern public administration in the 1930s is the joint occupancy by 17 organizations of public officials of a building at 1313 E. 60th Street in Chicago. The building became famous (infamous to some) and was known simply as 1313. A 2004 article, "1313's Hidden History," in the Hyde Park Herald tells the story of the building's beginnings: 1313, completed in 1938, embodied the vision of two men, Charles E. Merriam, and Louis Brownlow. Brownlow had forged a career (without benefit of formal education) as a city manager and as a forceful advocate for the public service professions. Merriam was a University of Chicago political science professor with a bent for activism that led to service as a Chicago alderman and to two (unsuccessful) runs for the Mayoralty. The two men conceived 1313 as a vibrant center for (in the words of a 1963 booklet) “the improvement of the organization, administrative techniques, and methods of government--municipal, county, state, and federal--in the United States.” Within a few years, 1313 had clearly become a nerve center for American public administration. By 1963, it was organizational home to 22 non-profit entities, including: American Public Works AssociationAmerican Public Welfare AssociationCouncil of State GovernmentsAmerican Society of Planning OfficialsAmerican Society of Public AdministrationNational Legislative Conference [One of NCSL's predecessor organizations]Public Administration ServiceNational Association of State Budget OfficersNational Association of Attorneys General  Each individual Administration or Foundation or Council has major power and influence.Who ever knew that so far back there existed such a centralized seat of control?Over time I would like to evaluate and analyze each member Council and organization from where they were then to where they are now today. And in many ways they seem to be ahead of their time.Suspiciously so.They invented LEGISNET before the internet was even a twinkle in aol's eye. They install policy for tax assessors policy at every level of government tax collection law enforcement and anything you can imagine.This was then. Imagine today.

I hope you write a lengthy report on this I'd definitely read it. It sounds cool. Im interested to hear how they enforce these policies federally and how a non-profit entity or 22 of them can control legislation or the legislative branch.

APWA, founded in 1930 as the American Association of Public Welfare Officials, is a professional organization for staff members of public agencies and others interested in public welfare. APWA studies and distributes information regarding legislation and also offers its members professional development opportunities.  "A grant from The Rockefeller Foundation's Spelman Fund enabled the association to hire, in 1931, its first administrator, Frank Bane, formerly commissioner of the Virginia State Department of Public Welfare. The association grew rapidly, from the initial 151 persons to nearly 1,000 members two years later. In May 1932, the association changed its name to the American Public Welfare Association. (APWA)"   "Initially, the association's offices were in Washington D.C., but in 1932, APWA moved its headquarters to Chicago. It returned to Washington D.C. in 1974, where APWA remains at this writing."

AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLANNING OFFICIALS Founded in 1917 and renamed the American Planning Association in 1978 makes you wonder some things about some things......  Although AIP was incorporated in 1917 as the American City Planning Institute (renamed the American Institute of Planners in 1939), and ASPO in 1934, we trace our roots even further back to 1909 and the first National Conference on City Planning in Washington, D.C. From that and subsequent conferences, the organized planning movement emerged. This model of a single organization — a "big tent" for everyone interested in planning, with an internal institute to advance the interests of the profession — was unique at the time and has attracted great interest around the world.   Makes me think of all those wacky grid planned cities. like chicago...just a thought

The civil service assembly of the United States and Canada , just from reading their publishing and reports seems to me, from its inception hell bent on reforming government control to encompass everything from the federal to small town level.They wrote the procedures and handbooks on gov't administration , hiring practices and many more facets of civil service implementation that are in use globally today

The main thing I'm taking away from researching here is that all of these organizations are tax exempt nonprofits that received their money straight from city state and federal funds.They receive tax money but at the same time form policy for tax laws and collections.They are publicly subsidized yet do not answer to the public.Several of the original 17 founders of the 13 13 group are today part of something called the Big 7.Nongovernmental organizations which are funded by taxpayers yet do not represent the taxpayers.I've already started doing my research on the individual founders of many of these organizations.I have gone so far as to call a grand Masonic Lodge to find out if some of them were members about a hundred years ago. So far I see a good portion of these groups were funded by The Rockefellers.I think this is a deep rabbit hole

many of these founding members are the largest lobbying groups of their kind in America today but at the same time are subsidized with taxpayer money
