that "American national interest" demands that any candidate for the presidency of the United States regard Israel as "America's only remaining strategic asset," and appoint the "best bet" for Secretary of StateHenry Kissinger. The Education of Max Lerner Lerner is the liberal dean of political columnists. He is syndicated by the Los Angeles Times international syndicate, reaching 90 newspapers in major cities around the globe. He is also the author of numerous books, including his latest, Ted and the Kennedy Legend; a professor at the Graduate School of Human Behavior of the U.S. International University of San Diego; and a lecturer at the New School for Social Research in New York City. The liberal Aquarian Lerner got his training in the 1920s at the Brookings Institution's School of Economics and Government. From there he served under Franklin D. Roosevelt on the New Deal National Emergency Council. He was made "consultant" to the Anglo-American Office of War Information psychological warfare bureau in 1942, and after the war became a columnist for the world-wide syndicate of the New York Post and Los Angeles Times, in 1949. Lerner was an intimate of Walter Lippmann and John Dewey, and editor and writer for the Nation, New Republic, and Saturday Review magazines. He became a left-wing social democrat supporter of the Socialist International and its offshoot, the Labor Zionists, in the 1940s. His vision of a one-world "democratic collectivist" government resembles that of British Empire founder Cecil Rhodes, or today's London Economist writer and former British Ambassador to the United States, Peter Jay. Lerner wrote on "The Problems of American Life" in 1943: The sovereignty of the nation-state is a thing of the past. . . . The creation of an international armed force or the gradual denationalization of armies is the possible solution to the question of disarmament. . . . The nations of colored people should be placed in the trusteeship of democratic groups of their own colored race. In the 1950s the Ford Foundation funded Lerner as a scholar on European civilization, expanded his expertise, and in 1960 sent him to India and China. Today he is a close friend of Herman "Mega-death" Kahn and an
associate of Kahn's Hudson Institute, which advocates drastic depopulation of the Third World and a thermonuclear exchange between the superpowers. Lerner's early writings on America left-wing ideology posed the question how "the democratic majority is to be educated, formed, and set into motion." Apparently Lerner has discovered the answer in the Aquarian Conspiracy.
