  1. Did you ever question the sudden shift (over 10 years) in the youth's culture in England between the 1950s and 60s? What was really behind that shift, and what entity or entities was or were promoting it? It was blamed for the shift in the US over the new rock bands (Beetles) and exported cultural ideas. However, I think that was only a small part of it, and a mere symptom of a plan that was being pushed by both religion and university, as well as an infiltration of the state, itself, in the UK and the US. This leads back to socialism, and especially, Christian Socialism, which was being pushed by the Anglican church, and then their universities, from the early 1800s on. That didn't make it to the US until the late 1800s, in Boston, where it spread into NYC, and settled at Columbia U. That was when the first social science schools were formed stateside, and I'd venture to guess that the same thing occurred in Canada and Australia. Read the Wiki article about the Rand School of Social Science, especially the history section, and start following the links back through time. What culturally happens in Merry Ol' England always finds its way to the US and Canada at a later date, and I believe that you'll find a "Working Man's College" in London behind the start of it, though it leads back to the enclosure of the commons if you wish to pursue it that far back. Certain graduates from that London college found their way inside Oxford and Cambridge, and that began the cultural change in the graduates that have been causing this upset ever since.
