"ea great public servant and a truly noble man, Ben Cohen remains as a model of the intellectual who spends a life in public affairs without betraying his conscience or violating his ideals." --from the preface

A key figure in the administrations of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, Benjamin V. Cohen (1894 - 1983) was a major architect of public policy from the first days of FDR's presidency through the early days of the Cold War. Although he kept a low public profile, Cohen's influence extended across a wide range of domestic and foreign policy initiatives. In this biography, William Lasser offers the first account of Ben Cohen's life and career, and an assessment of his contribution to the origin and development of modern American liberalism.

Cohen's life provides an extraordinary lens through which to view the development of the evolving political philosophy of the Roosevelt and Truman presidencies. A brilliant lawyer noted for his good judgment and experience, Cohen was a leading member of FDR's "Brain Trust," developing ideas, drafting legislation, lobbying within the administration and in Congress, and defending the New Deal in court/. The book traces his contributions to domestic financial policy, his activities during the war years in London and Washington, his service as counselor to the State Department and member of the American delegation to the United Nations after the war, and his role in the American Zionist movement. From Cohen's life and work, Lasser draws important insights into the development of the New Deal and the evolution of postwar liberalism.

"Lasser has accomplished more than simply telling the story of Cohen's life, as interesting and significant as it is. He has used the story to provide a fresh and important perspective on the New Deal, and indeed, on modern American reform."

--Richard Polenberg, Cornell University

"Highly recommended for academic collections on the presidency and the New Deal." --Library Journal

"Lasser has done an admirable job of reconstructing Cohen's life. . . . Cohen had a remarkable career, and in William Lasser he has a biographer who . . . does him full justice." --William E. Leuchtenburg, Washington Post Book World

"Lasser has succeeded in presenting the life of Benjamin V. Cohen against the backdrop of the New Deal, Zionism, World War II, and the United Nations in each of which he played a role. . . . A well-constructed picture of a relatively anonymous public servant, a prototypical liberal who was a model for presidential assistants and who richly deserves more recognition." --Morton I. Teicher, Jewish Journal

"Lucid and well-organized. . . . This is a book that will repay careful reading. It is valuable for the light it sheds on the New Deal, liberalism, and politics in the 20th century, as well as on the significant though often little understood figure who is its subject. Highly recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above." --Choice

"A well-constructed picture of a relatively anonymous public servant, a prototypical liberal who was a model for presidential assistants and who richly deserves more recognition." --Morton I. Teicher, National Jewish Post & Opinion

"[An] excellent biography. . . .Lasser has accomplished a great deal in this book. . . . A very welcome addition to the shelf of fine books that chronicle the many architects of the New Deal." --Jason Scott Smith, Business History Review

Louisiana History


Louisiana, because of the Mississippi, was the gateway to the south, and  Jewish traders arrived as early as 1730.

The great Jewish migration of the1880s swamped the country, and they quickly took control. In1913 they had passed the Federal Reserve Act, started Wall Street, the ADL, took us into WW1, collapsed the economy in 1929.

They installed Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Roosevelt.


Who Was Huey Long?


Huey "Kingfish" Long, was governor of Louisiana in 1928, who became a U.S. Senator in 1932, and assassinated in1935. As Senator, Long supported Roosevelt in the beginning but eventually became aware of the depression was a result of deliberate Federal Reserve policy. He recognized the real beneficiaries of the depression were certain sectors who were buying stocks, bonds real estate and American businesses hand over fist.


August 1935 Long Announces His Presidential Campaign

The wealth was being transferred from working Americans to these select few. Long proposed the  "Share Our Wealth" program which said that no individual family could hold more than $ 5 mil in wealth and receive more than $ 1 mil in annual income.


Roosevelt Saw An Enemy

Huey Long, an accomplished orator and statesman, had pointed out many of the fallacies of Roosevelt and the New Deal  (Jew Deal), and many people were starting to listen. Roosevelt had become alarmed at Huey Long, as the Great Depression threatened to catapult Long into the Presidency.

FDR had actually made some threats, and in March of 1935 Long made a broadcast and had it put in the congressional record.


Roosevelt's Controllers


He was controlled by a group of  Jewish advisors, who were ultimately controlled by the Rothschilds. Names like Baruch, Oppenheimer, Loeb, Morganthau, Frankfurter.

They weren't going to let some 'Firebrand Southerner' become president at this critical juncture.


The assassination  


On Sunday, September 8, 1935, Huey Long was at the capital building in Baton Rouge. He was attending a session called by Judge Benjamin Pavy, one of Long's political enemies. As Long walked down a corridor, a Dr. Carl Weiss ( Pavy's son in law ) walked up to him and shot him in the abdomen.

His body guards shot the Jewish doctor over thirty times.


Louisiana's Greatest Governor

His state tax system basically used the wealthy to pay for Louisiana schools. Long took Louisiana's illiteracy rate from 22%, and brought it down to 5%.  The road system went from 300 miles to 3200 miles of paved roads.

His Presidential Promises

He would restrict the Federal Reserve, redistribute the wealth by taxing wealthy individuals and corporations.


The Historical Aftermath

Today, Huey Long is portrayed as a corrupt philandering womanizer. There is even an attempt to rewrite the assassination by a  F Morris Grevenberg, who claims that Weiss got in an argument with Long, and Long's bodyguards shot an innocent Jew.

Grevenberg claims Long was shot by his own bodyguards.


The 1936 Election Was Historically Monumental

The country was in the depths of the depression, and they would be given two choices for President. Roosevelt was a wealthy aristocratic Jew, and a borderline communist. On the other hand, Huey Long was a gifted self made man, who came from a poor background, had Louisiana's success story as credentials, and was a superb orator.

If Long would have won, there would have been no WW-2, and communism would have been contained. The illicit gains from the 1929 depression would have been redistributed.
