A Textbook Case for the Radicals?

If you have never spent any time trying to dig into the radical politics of what we appear to be witnessing then the following will sound really ‘strange’. If you’re interested, search for Alinsky’s rules for radicals to see the 13 rules and then the Cloward & Piven Strategy of 1966, “that seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse”. Keep in mind that the radical community organizing in Chicago, including ACORN, in which Obama was involved, adhered to these principles.

Also, keep in mind the words from Obama himself:

November 2007 Obama said: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”

In an appearance at an official event for ACORN in 2008, he was introduced and greeted wildly by the crowd. When asked if he would meet with them within his first 100 days, Obama replied, “Yes! Before I even get inaugurated, we’re going to be calling all of you in so you can have input into the agenda of the next president of the United States.”

Five days before the election Obama said “We Are 5 Days Away From Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America.”

The recent ‘revelations’ about the corruption in taxpayer and charity-funded ACORN may be significant in saving capitalism – if investigations get underway.

The goal of the far-left radicals from the inception of their campaigns has been to implode the Federal Government by overpowering it and creating a crisis, using the poor to promote their agenda through community organizing, to destroy capitalism and establish a socialist economy where everyone, working or not, have a guaranteed wage. That is the complete redistribution of wealth.

ACORN and other leftist groups have trained in the works of Alinsky, and Cloward & Piven that spell out the ‘rules’ for achieving their goals – socialism.

In 1975 the bankruptcy of New York City was attributed to the teachings of Cloward & Piven where ACORN organizations overwhelmed the welfare system (using the tactics described in the books). Cloward & Piven were cited by name as a factor in the bankruptcy by Rudy Giuliani.

ACORN’s work continued in line with ‘the books’, in their voter registration fraud where the books said to overwhelm the voting offices with fraudulent registration forms to create chaos. The books were pushing for the election of radical Democrats and their goal was to have an administration and congress dominated by radicals to pass their agenda toward socialism.

In 1977, ACORN lobbied for, and got, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) passed that opened the door for low income, primarily Black and Hispanics, to achieve the ‘American Dream’ of owning their own homes. Through Republican and Democrat administrations, ACORN was able to push for more legislation that would force banks to make risky loans based on such things as food stamps and unreported income. The practices deteriorated to making a loan on 80% of the purchase price and making the down payment of 20% with a second mortgage. ACORN even forced lending to illegals with no documented income whatsoever. ACORN achieved their goals by goon-squad tactics at the banks and the homes of executives and funded their operation with taxpayer and charitable dollars and extorted dollars from the banks themselves.

Cloward & Piven stressed the necessity of having a liberal press and adversely impacting the voting. Both were accomplished to their fullest in 2008.

With ACORN doing its job in forcing the issuing of loans doomed to failure, the next, or coincident, step was to establish a place for the banks to sell their junk loans. This was established through Congress that legislated that Freddie and Fannie buy up more and more toxic assets. This was easily accomplished by the likes of socialist radicals like Barney Frank where Fannie Mae set as its goal to finance over $500 billion in CRA business by 2010. Granted, the banks went overboard with their generation of derivatives and leverage, but they were pushed into the corner by the likes of ACORN and forced, to some extent, to avail themselves of the enabling entities – Freddie and Fannie.

Now, the crisis generating part of the plan has been fulfilled. The next is to select a candidate schooled in community organizing ala Alinsky and Cloward & Piven. Actually, both Hillary Clinton and Obama could have fit the bill, as both believed in these teachings, but Obama was the only community organizer that had taught their disciplines. ACORN was primed and ready to go. The recruiting job was easy, as race did play a significant role in mobilizing the black poor. The Obama campaign even paid ACORN over $800k to perpetrate their fraud and the Cloward & Piven strategy on the election process.

Now, the only thing missing was the trigger to set the crisis in motion at exactly the right time. Just prior to the crisis McCain was leading in the polls, but any financial trouble would most definitely be blamed on Republicans and catapult the Democrats into both the White House and Congressional control. George Soros, a major supporter of the radical left and the one that had almost brought the Bank of England to its knees, could be a perfect candidate for the ‘run on the banks’ that was credited for triggering the collapse and the government takeover of the banks. While, to our knowledge, no investigations have been undertaken to determine ‘who’ was responsible for the trigger, it is an interesting scenario…

Capitalism did not fail, but was temporarily unable to survive due to the attack launched on it by the radicals and the ignorance of the regulatory bodies to stop it. That included the Federal Reserve to whom the Administration is so anxious to give further powers of regulatory control. (“Among the regulatory agencies was the Federal Reserve System (FRB) that in 1981, to help achieve the goals of the CRA, each of the Federal Reserve banks established a Community Affairs Office to work with banking institutions and the public in identifying credit needs within the community and ways to address those needs.”)

The Cloward/Piven Strategy is a method employed by the radical left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's (the President’s chief of staff) ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste, what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you could not do before”.

Keeping in mind that the first rule for a community organizer, as per Alinsky, is to point out the weaknesses to make people ‘realize’ how bad off they are, and then dangle the carrot. Lies and deception is also part of the community organizer’s handbook. We have seen that in every speech and every piece of the President’s agenda. In fact, it is more difficult to find a truthful statement in any of his speeches. We have summarized some of the lies beginning with his first speech as President, with some of those same lies repeated ad infinitum. As time progresses, the President has pushed every piece of legislation in pure Alinsky style. The stimulus package was needed immediately and the “shovel ready” jobs would keep unemployment below 8% and the projected GDP growth rate was way past absurd. This made the underlying structure of the financial system weak and did little for the economy – where most will be spent to guarantee the 2010 elections for the Democrats. The next was Cap and Trade, a socialist, job killing, capitalist-killing bill that was based on ‘settled science’. Then it was healthcare – the lies are now becoming more obvious and an insult to anyone’s intelligence with even his examples of those horrible insurance companies killing people being nothing but lies.

From the beginning the President railed at capitalism and the selfish investors holding secure bonds, and the rich, and gave taxpayer dollars to his union friends, thus violating his oath to uphold the Constitution. His White House has tried to collect email addresses of those opposing his healthcare agenda and threatened healthcare insurance companies for sending out information letters of the facts to their customers – both in violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

A hats-off to the crazies in the environmental movement over the years that most rational individuals tended to ignore. However, with the push for Cap and Trade and the revelations about Van Jones, it is clear that this movement does indeed have legs and is a major player in the destruction of capitalism, and is a part of the social change plan of the 1960s.

The President has continued, before the global community, to apologize for America and promise that HE can solve all the problems with naïve proposals. His throwing of our friends under the bus and his appeals to the socialist dictators, including his denial of the rights of Iran to have a fair election appears to be a push for America to join the other socialist countries. While his community organizing skills ala Alinsky may have worked on the likes of ACORN, some of the American people and some global leaders are a lot smarter. The question is, will he be able to pull off his move to socialism? Will his push to bankrupt the country to create the conditions outlined by Cloward & Piven and Alinsky work as they have outlined?
