COVERT CADRE- Inside the Institute for Policy Studies

Most people got no further with the IPS than G. Beck took them, and that was the evil Frances Fox Piven. Peel the skin back further, and you'll see the IPS has been harmful in its advocacy of our foreign policies which are dangerous to our sovereignty and puts our allies against us. When the radical Left hits the streets count on the IPS to be front and center.

The best written account of the IPS is COVERT CADRE by Steven Powell - the go-to source for several of my web pages in the 1990s.

The Institute for Policy Studies was founded in 1963 in Washington DC and is a highly influential, but little known source of ideas, guidance and training for the U.S. and international left. It began as a revolutionary think-tank that consistently supported policies that facilitated the foreign policy goals of the Soviet Union and weakened the position of the United States.^[1]

About 

The Institute for Policy Studies is the largest and most influential of the far left think tanks in Washington. Since its founding in 1964 it has steadily followed a pro-Marxist line on foreign policy, defense and the economy and has spawned a large number of spin-offs, other think tanks and public affairs organizations following the same radical agenda.^[2]

To put its policy recommendations into action, IPS built networks of contacts among Congressional legislators and their staffs, academics, government officials, and the national media.
 In 1978, in an article in National Review, Brian Crozier, director of the London-based Institute for the Study of Conflict, described IPS as the "perfect intellectual front for Soviet activities which would be resisted if they were to originate openly from the KGB."<sup>[1]
