Into the Crystal Ball Darkly

     For the life of me, and probably many others, I could not understand the broken logic of the administration and the Congress in not only keeping but increasing the accumulating federal debt. And, as we know, a majority of the voters agree that this is a path to national collapse. But there is a possible plan behind this.

     In this dissertation, I will be giving Internet sites that you can visit to get further information. After all, if you are reading this column, you have Internet access. Otherwise, this column would turn into a book.

     First we have to look into President Obama's past history. We remember Obama's famous reply to "Joe The Plumber" about "spreading the wealth". This view goes further back in time. In Phyllis Schafly's 13 Apr 2010 column (www.creators.com) she quotes a WBEZ-FM, Chicago broadcast from 18 Jan 2001. "Obama complained that the Earl Warren court 'wasn't that radical' because 'it didn't break free from the essential constraints placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution . . . The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and serve more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society'".  A view clearly expressing disdain for the Constitution and endorsing redistribution of wealth in the name of "social justice".

     Where did these views come from? Well, let's look further into the past. Outside of being a college professor, Mr. Obama was a "Community Organizer" (remember ACORN?) in Chicago. Benign as this sounds, these are local organizations founded on the principals set down by Saul Alinsky in 1971 called "Rules for Radicals". The main points are eleven rules to operate against "the enemy", "the establishment". Or as Alinsky would say, "The first step in community organization is community disorganization". Here you can Google "Rules for Radicals" or "Saul Alinsky" and go to Wikipedia, right on top of the list. These were not rules for Boy Scouts or Red Cross organizing . . . this is hard disruptive near riot organizing and intimidation. And it is also reported that Obama, as a teaching professor taught this in his classes.

     It is also well known that Obama knew and served on a charity board with Bill Ayers. Ayers, with his wife Bernardine Dorn were members of the infamous "Weathermen", radical organization that participated in the "Days of Rage" riots in Chicago in 1969. Both Ayers and Dorn were tried but never convicted of further, more violent bombings. Ayers is still lecturing at the University of Chicago.

     But to look into the real motivation behind these movements, we must look a little further in the past. Coming out of the 1965 Watts riots, two people, Richard Cloward, and his wife, Frances Piven formulated what became to be called the Cloward-Piven Strategy (CPS). Some of the inspiration came from good old Saul Alinsky.

     Here Google "Cloward-Piven Strategy" and start with Wikipedia. Also go to the "click here" buttons and you will find a very complete article under www.discoverthenetworks.org. This is laying out a strategy for the complete remaking of the United States and all that it ever stood for.

     The Cloward-Piven Strategy (CPS) basically seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands by greatly increasing welfare and a larger "welfare class" . . .  to bring about total financial collapse of the US. In other words, to break the government, bring down capitalism (the free market), and institute a national guaranteed annual wage. I guess that we would call this the fundamental remake of the US that was promised in the election run up. Shades of the Walter Ruther UAW contracts featuring the GAW, but on a national scale covering everybody whether you worked or not.

     This requires massive wealth distribution and the creation of a "welfare class" voting majority. If you look at the fact that 47% of the population pays no income tax and the increasing number of those receiving one form or another of direct financial support, you are seeing a growing voting (power) block. 

     Another desired objective is to reduce the power of the US to make up a UN governed world in which all nations are at equal political and economic levels.

     The truly scary part of this is how much recent events in new and proposed legislation fits into this pattern. Not only in the content of these bills, but in obfuscating the hidden goodies by producing multi-thousands of pages and rush them through so fast that no one, not one knows what they are voting on or signing.

     I am reminded of an old saying, "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck . . . it's probably a duck".

     Happy reading on the Internet.
