About

Anton Chaitkin has been an activist since his childhood in the 1950s.

In the early 1930s, his father, Jacob Chaitkin, a pro-Franklin Roosevelt lawyer,

had blocked some of the Wall Street financial arrangements with Hitler, and was

legal counsel for the American Jewish Congress boycott against Germany.

Anton grew up committed to justice, with a strong sense of the realities of power politics.

About two years after the JFK assassination, Chaitkin heard from Lyndon LaRouche that

financiers were shifting American strategy away from industrial progress, toward cheap labor,

foreshadowing fascist policies and systemic collapse. An association was formed, to defeat those

who had brutalized contemporary thought in science, economics, the arts and philosophy.

Chaitkin began a systematic inquiry into American history, finding that the mental map of

former leaders was far more profound and more pro-human than anything available in the post-JFK era.

He has done sharply original work in American history, in hundreds of articles and in two books,

Treason in America, from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman -- a 600-page unveiling of the

Eastern Establishment as the tory-British-racist-imperialist faction -- and George Bush,

the Unauthorized Biography.
