In 1966/7 he wrote the book for which he is most cited today, ''F.D.R. My Exploited Father-In-Law'', in which he speaks of his ex-father-in-law, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Franklin's relationship with, as Curtis saw them, the corrupt power of the banking elite of the time. In 1968, his name was filed for the Presidential primaries in New Hampshire. In 1971, he was Chairman of the Liberty Lobby<sup>[[#Footnotes 5|T]]</sup> He retired as chairman in 1982. It was possibly in connection with this group that he was said to introduce, in 1974, speaker [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_H._Freedman Benjamin H Freedman], who was also one of the people named in the Acknowledgements section of Curtis' book ''F.D.R: My Exploited Father-in-Law''. | In 1966/7 he wrote the book for which he is most cited today, ''F.D.R.

| + | "Years passed, during which it became obvious to me that Eleanor Roosevelt's political ideology had steadily moved to the Left. In contrast, mine was leaning to the conservative side, moving to the Right. The deceptive overtones of Pearl Harbor, the pro-Soviet peace terms at the close of World War II, the refusal of [[Dwight Eisenhower|General Eisenhower]] to let General Patton conclude a proper military objective and take Berlin. Eisenhower's cruel unheard of forced-repatriation program; the Berlin Corridor Arrangement, Harry Hopkins' sending abroad to the Soviets our U.S. money plates, paper and ink, for them to rob and fleece us, the tragic matter of Governor Earle (not to stop World War II sooner, to be dealt with later) — all these things did not seem proper and were most disturbing to me!" (''F.D.R.'', p. 57) | ||

| + | "The N.A.A.C.P. has always had access to important financing and has 'Advanced,' to become a valuable jewel in the crown of the Socialist-Communist Revolutionary Forces. Fortunately, most of our responsible colored citizens have a deep distrust for the self-serving leadership evidenced in the N.A.A.C.P." (''F.D.R.'', p. 58) | ||

| + | "Basically, the U.N. is but a long-range, international-banking apparatus neatly set up for financial and economic profit by a small group of powerful One-World Revolutionaries, hungry for profit and power. Obviously, the real objectives of One-World Government leaders and their ever-close bankers, are most devious! They have now acquired full control of the money and credit machinery of the United States of America, via the creation and establishment of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. They now plan to uproot and to gradually destroy the Spiritual background of all peoples. Initially, Christianity is the prime target, then Judaism, then all other religions! That bleak program is absolutely necessary for them to complete, if possible, before they can reach godless power — aimed to benefit a few but to make assembly-line puppets out of us, the many." (''F.D.R.'', p. 59) | ||

| + | "The freedom of the press, something for which our forbears fought and shed blood to establish, is largely a myth! Whose freedom? Whose press? Well, it is time for improvement, for an overhauling and review of our whole apparatus of communications in this country" (''F.D.R.'', p. 132) | ||
