This article by Miles Mathis is a critical response to an article in The Atlantic by David Brooks titled “The Nuclear Family was (Not) a Mistake.” Mathis argues that Brooks is a slick propagandist, not an earnest writer, and that his article serves as “Intelligence propaganda” aimed at further undermining the family. Mathis contends that the decline of the family is not a natural societal shift but a deliberate, planned destruction orchestrated by wealthy elites and shadowy groups, referred to as “vampires” and “Phoenicians,” for profit and control. He traces this alleged plan back through various institutions and publications, including The Atlantic, National Review, Hoover Institution, Wall Street Journal, Aspen Institute, and various foundations like Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, Gates Foundation, and Carnegie Foundation. Mathis refutes Brooks’s explanations for the family’s decline, such as societal individualism or women’s desire for freedom, arguing instead that these were manufactured to facilitate a larger agenda of control and financial exploitation. He criticizes Brooks’s proposed solutions, like communes, as disingenuous and designed to further destabilize society. Mathis concludes by asserting that a return to the family structures and prosperity of the 1950s is possible and desirable, and that those in power have the capacity to reverse their destructive course.
