In his 1991 book, Dr. John Colman said that the Stanford Research Institute (“SRI”) was owned and controlled by the Committee of 300.  And that it was part of a network of organisations that falls under the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations.

One of the reports to come out of SRI was the 1974 ‘Changing Images of Man’; the blueprint for how to socially engineer populations using education and rhetoric spewed by both formal and informal “leaders.”

SRI International is an American “nonprofit scientific research institute and organisation,” Learn & Work Ecosystem Library said in 2025. “The organisation was founded as the Stanford Research Institute 75 years ago. SRI formally separated from Stanford University in 1970 to become known as SRI International in 1977.”

Since then, SRI has expanded and now participates in more than 500 research and development projects per year.

Who funds SRI’s projects and owns the patents the organisation files?

Under the subheading ‘Funding and Financial Model’, Grokipedia states, “The majority of [SRI’s] revenue derives from US government contracts, awarded directly or via subcontracts with agencies such as the Department of Defence (DoD) and National Institutes of Health (NIH), reflecting a model where federal funding supports applied R&D in areas of national interest. Remaining income, around 20-30%, stems from commercial and international clients, including licensing of intellectual property generated from prior work.”

Who are the commercial interests included in the “around 20-30% … clients”?  SRI’s website doesn’t have a funding section stating who funds their projects. So we will turn to someone who has researched them.

In his 1991 book, ‘Conspirators’ Hierarchy: Story of the Committee of 300’, Dr. John Coleman listed SRI as one of the powerful institutions owned and controlled by the Committee of 300 that “come[s] under the MOTHER OF ALL THINK-TANKS AND RESEARCH-INSTITUTIONS, THE TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE OF HUMAN RELATIONS with its far-flung network of hundreds of ‘branches’.”

The Committee of 300, also known as the “Olympians,” is “the ULTIMATE controlling-body that runs the world and has done so for at least a hundred years,” Dr. Coleman wrote. Its membership is made up of the “leading lights” from “secret societies, front organisations, government agencies, banks, insurance  companies, international businesses, the petroleum industry and [ ] hundreds of thousands of entities and foundations.”

He described who the Committee’s members are:

Included in the membership are the old families of the European Black Nobility, the American Eastern Liberal Establishment (in Freemason hierarchy and the Order of Skull and Bone), the Illuminati, or as it is known by the Committee “MORIAH CONQUERING WIND,” the Mumma Group, The National and World Council of Churches, the Circle of Initiates, the Nine Unknown Men, Lucis Trust, Jesuit Liberation Theologists, The Order of the Elders of Zion, the Nasi Princes, International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), the United Nations (UN), the Central, British Quator Coronati, Italian P2 Masonry  – especially those in the Vatican hierarchy – the Central Intelligence Agency, Tavistock Institute selected personnel, various members of leading foundations and insurance companies named in the lists that follow [at the end of the book], the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the Milner Group-Round Table, Cini Foundation, German Marshall Fund, Ditchley Foundation, NATO, Club of Rome, Environmentalists, The Order of St. John of Jerusalem, One World Government Church, Socialist International, Black Order, Thule Society, Anenherbe-Rosicrucianists, The Great Superior Ones and literally HUNDREDS of other organisations.

Below, we have reproduced the first part of the chapter in Dr. Coleman’s book titled ‘Stanford Research Centre’.  But first, as it is mentioned in the excerpt, a brief introduction to the ‘Changing Images of Man’.

Changing Images of Man

Prepared by researchers at the SRI’s Centre for the Study of Social Policy, ‘Changing Images of Man’ is a 1974 report, later published in 1982 as a book, edited by O. W. Markley and Willis W. Harman. “Various intellectuals from the fields of social sciences, humanities, engineering and physics collaborated,” Duane Hayes wrote in a 2018 article.

As well as exploring the role of science, the report/book identifies seven societal functions of myth and image – mystical, cosmological, sociological, pedagogical, editorial, political and magical – mainly derived from mythologist Joseph Campbell‘s work.  It suggests that deliberate changes in Campbell’s foundational beliefs can catalyse global transformation.

A Duke Report summary of the book states:

Emerging sciences reveal the interdependence of mind, body, society and environment … As scientific paradigms shift, new images of humankind become possible – images that integrate reason, emotion, intuition, and interconnectedness.

The book synthesises the functions of myth and image into several domains: mystical, cosmological, sociological, pedagogical, editorial, political and magical. The mystical function roots individuals in the mystery and meaning of existence. The cosmological function articulates worldviews and aligns behaviour with the perceived structure of reality. The sociological function validates and legitimises social order, establishing norms, rules and systems of authority. The pedagogical function guides personal development, transmitting knowledge and values across generations. The editorial function selects which realities receive cultural attention, shaping collective memory and blind spots. Political and magical functions authorise power and invoke extraordinary means to achieve communal goals. Together, these functions orchestrate coherence, resilience, and adaptability in societies.

Education occupies a central position in the process of image transformation. Schools and universities serve as incubators for new images, transmitting both explicit content and implicit values. Curriculum design, teaching methods and institutional culture can accelerate or impede the adoption of integrative images. Leaders – both formal and informal – play crucial roles as sensemakers, storytellers and exemplars. By embodying new images in action and discourse, leaders foster legitimacy and momentum for transformation. Markley and Harman argue for deliberate investment in educational reform, leadership development and narrative renewal as catalysts for deep change.

Hayes concludes his article:

Within a decade of publishing the Changing Images of Man, we see the meteoric rise of both Silicon Valley and the World Wide Web, both originating directly from out of this innocuous private research institute colloquially known as the Farm. Through the use of primary source material, we see the blueprint from which a plan is devised to socially engineer the American public through its various institutions and agencies, followed by the establishment of the very tools to best facilitate the plan.(!) We also see a deep military affiliation with the project in that the internet stems directly from the Pentagon’s ARPANET programme and the Stanford Research Institute is one of three original hubs for the internet.

Stanford University is centred within a few miles radius of all of the social media giants Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, and all of these survivors of the dotcom era have major ties to the US intelligence community while also conveniently forming the main framework that is social media.  Is it just coincidence that these were the lucky few to survive the dotcom crash and then go on to dominate the web?

We have attached a copy of ‘Changing Images of Man’ below for those who might be interested in reading it for themselves.

Conspirators’ Hierarchy: Story of the Committee of 300 by Dr. John Coleman

An excerpt from ‘Stanford Research Centre’

Stanford Research Centre (SRC) was founded in 1946 by the Tavistock Institute for Human Relations. Stanford was created to help Robert 0. Anderson and his ARCO oil company, who had secured for the The Committee of 300 the oil-rights on the North Slope of Alaska. Basically, the job was too large for Anderson’s Aspen Institute to handle, so a new centre had to be founded and funded. That new centre was Stanford Research Centre. Alaska sold its rights on a down payment of $900 million, a relatively small amount for the The Committee of 300. The governor of Alaska was steered to SRI for help and advice. This was no accident but the result of judicious planning and a process of long-range conditioning.

Following the governor’s call for help, three SRI scientists set up shop in Alaska where they met with the Alaskan Secretary of State and the State Planning Office. Francis Greehan, who headed the SRI team, assured the Governor that his problem of how to handle the rich oil-find would be safe in the hands of SRI. Naturally Greehan did not mention the The Committee of 300 or the Club of Rome. In less than a month Greehan assembled a team of economists, petroleum-scientists and new-science scientists numbering in the hundreds. The report SRI gave to the Governor ran to eighty-eight pages. The proposal was adopted virtually without change by the Alaska legislature in 1970. Greehan had indeed done a remarkable job for the The Committee of 300. From this beginning SRI developed into an institution employing 4000 people with an annual budget of $160 million plus. Its President, Charles A. Anderson, has seen much of this growth during his tenure, as has Professor Willis Harmon, director of the SRI Centre for the Study of Social Policies, employing hundreds of new-science scientists, many of the top staffers having been transferred from Tavistock’s London base. One of those was RCA board chairman and former British intelligence-agent, David Sarnoff, who was closely involved with Harmon and his team for twenty-five years. Sarnoff was something of a “watchdog” for the mother institute in Sussex.

Stanford claims to make no moral-judgements on projects it accepts, working for Israel and the Arabs, South Africa and Libya but, as one would imagine, by adopting this attitude it ensures an “inside-edge” with foreign governments that the CIA has found most useful. In Jim Ridgeway’s book, “THE CLOSED CORPORATION”, SRI spokesman Gibson brags about SRI’s non-discriminatory stance. Although not on the Federal Contract Research Centre lists, SRI is today the largest military think-tank, dwarfing Hudson and Rand. Among SRI’s speciality-departments are chemical and biological warfare experimental-centres.

One of Stanford’s more dangerous activities is counter-insurgency operations aimed at civilian populations – just the sort of “1984” things government is already using against its own people. The U.S. government pays SRI millions of dollars each year for this kind of highly controversial “research”. Following student protests against chemical-warfare-experiments conducted at Stanford, SRI “sold” itself to a private group for just $25 million. Of course nothing really changed, SRI was still a Tavistock project and the The Committee of 300 still owned it, but the gullible appeared to be satisfied by this meaningless cosmetic change. In 1958 a startling new development arose. Advanced Research Products Agency (ARPA), a contracting-agency for the Defence Department, approached SRI with a top-secret proposal. John Foster at the Pentagon told SRI that what was needed was a program to ensure the United States against “technological surprise”. Foster wanted to perfect a condition where the environment became a weapon; special bombs to trigger volcanoes and/or earthquakes, behavioural research on potential enemies and minerals and metals with potential for new weapons. The project was accepted by SRI and codenamed “SHAKY”.

The massive electronic-brain in SHAKY was capable of carrying out many commands, its computers having been constructed by IBM for SRI. Twenty eight scientists worked on what is called “Human Augmentation”. The IBM computer even has the capability to solve problems by analogy and recognises and identifies scientists who work with it. The “special applications” of this tool can be better imagined than described. Brzezinski knew what he was talking about when he wrote “THE TECHNOTRONIC ERA”.

Stanford Research Institute works closely with scores of civilian consulting firms, trying to apply military technology to domestic situations. This has not always been a success, but as techniques improve, the prospects for massive all-pervading-surveillance, as described by Brzezinski, daily becomes more real. IT ALREADY EXISTS AND IS IN USE, EVEN THOUGH SLIGHT MALFUNCTIONS FROM TIME TO TIME HAVE TO BE IRONED OUT.

One such civilian consulting-firm was Schriever McKee Associates of McLean, Virginia, run by retired General Bernard A. Schriever, a former chief of the Air Force Systems Command, who developed the Titan, Thor, Atlas and Minuteman rockets.

Schriever put together a consortium of Lockheed, Emmerson Electric, Northrop, Control Data, Raytheon and TRW under the name of URBAN SYSTEMS ASSOciaTES, INC. The purpose of the consortium? To solve social and psychological “urban problems” by means of military techniques using advanced electronic systems. It is interesting to note that TRW became the largest credit-information-collecting company in the credit-reporting business as a result and an outcome of its work with Urban Systems Associates, Inc.

This should tell us a great deal about just how far this nation is already under TOTAL SURVEILLANCE, which is the first requirement of the The Committee of 300. No dictatorship, especially not one on a global scale, can function without total control over each and every individual. SRI was well on its way to becoming a key Committee of 300 research organisation.

By the 1980’s, 60% of SRI’s contracts were devoted to “Futurism” with both military and civilian applications. Its major clients were the U.S. Department of Defence-Directorate of Defence Research and Engineering, Office of Aerospace Research which dealt with “Applications of the Behavioural Sciences to Research Management”, Executive Office of the President, Office of Science and Technology, U.S. Department of Health. On behalf of the Department of Health, SRI ran a program called “Patterns in ESDEA Title I Reading Achievement Tests.” Other clients were the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Labour, U.S. Department of Transportation and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Of significance was the paper developed for NSF, entitled “Assessment of Future and International Problems.”

Stanford Research, under the tutelage of Tavistock Institute in London, put together a far-reaching and chilling system it called “Business Intelligence Program.” In excess of 600 companies in the U.S. and abroad became subscribers. The program covered research in Japanese Foreign Business Relations, Consumer Marketing in a Period of Change, The Mounting Challenge of International Terrorism, Sensory Evaluation in Consumer Products, Electronic Funds Transfer System, Opto-Electric Sensing, Exploratory Planning Methods, the U.S. Defence Industry and Capital Availability. Among the TOP The Committee of 300 companies who became clients of this program were Bechtel Corporation (George Schultz was on its board), Hewlett Packard, TRW, Bank of America, Shell Company, RCA, Blyth, Eastman Dillon, Saga Foods Corporation, McDonnell Douglas, Crown Zellerbach, Wells Fargo Bank and Kaiser Industries. But one of the most sinister of all SRI programs with the possibilities of doing tremendous damage in altering the direction in which the United States will go, socially, morally and religiously, was Stanford’s Charles F. Kettering Foundation’s “CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN” under Stanford official reference “Contract Number URH (489)-2150 Policy Research Report Number 4/4/74, Prepared by the SRI Centre for the Study of Social Policy, Director Willis Harmon.” This is probably one of the most far-reaching investigations into how man might be changed that has ever been conducted.

The report, covering 319 pages, was written by 14 new-science scientists under the supervision of Tavistock and 23 top controllers including B. F.

Skinner, Margaret Meade, Ervin Lazlo and Sir Geoffrey Vickers, a high-level British intelligence officer in MI6. It will be recalled that his son-in-law, Sir Peter Vickers-Hall, was a founding-member of the so-called conservative “Heritage Foundation”. Much of the 3000 pages of “recommendations” given to the Reagan administration in January 1981 were based upon material taken from Willis Harmon’s “CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN”.

I was privileged to receive a copy of “THE CHANGING IMAGES OF MAN” from my intelligence colleagues five days after it was accepted by the United States government. What I read shocked me, as I realised I was looking at a blueprint for a future America, unlike anything I had ever seen before. The nation was to be programmed to change and become so accustomed to such planned-changes that it would hardly be noticeable when profound changes did occur. We have gone downhill so fast since “THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY” (the book title of Willis Harmon’s technical paper) was written, that today, divorce draws no stigma, suicide is at an all-time high and raises few eyebrows, social deviations from the norm and sexual aberrations, once unmentionable in decent circles, are now commonplace and excite no special protest.

As a nation we have not noticed how “CHANGING IMAGES OF MANKIND” has radically altered our American way of life forever. Somehow we were overcome by the “Watergate Syndrome”. For a while we were shocked and dismayed to learn that Nixon was nothing but a cheap crook who hobnobbed with Earl Warren’s Mafia friends at the beautiful home they built for him adjoining the Nixon estate. When too many “future shocks” and news headlines demanded our attention, we lost our way, or rather, the huge number of choices with which we were and still are daily confronted, confused us to such a degree that we were no longer able to make the necessary choices.

Worse yet, having been subjected to a barrage of crimes in high places, plus the trauma of the Vietnam War, our nation seemed no longer to want truths. Such reaction is carefully explained in Willis Harmon’s technical paper; in short, the American nation was reacting exactly as profiled. Worse yet, in not wishing to accept truth, we took matters a step further: We looked to government to shield us from the truth.
