Alinsky, Cloward-Piven and socialism triumphant: the ongoing, deliberate destruction of America

 

The late Saul Alinsky was a radical, extremist community organizer, best known for his book Rules For Radicals.  In the opening to that book, he wrote:

What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.

His teachings greatly influenced former President Barack Obama.

The late Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, his wife, were radical sociologists who sought to overload the US welfare system in order to drive political, social and economic reform.  In their seminal 1966 article “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty“, they wrote:

A series of welfare drives in large cities would, we believe, impel action on a new federal program to distribute income, eliminating the present public welfare system and alleviating the abject poverty which it perpetrates. Widespread campaigns to register the eligible poor for welfare aid, and to help existing recipients obtain their full benefits, would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments. These disruptions would generate severe political strains, and deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the white working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be con-strained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas. By the internal disruption of local bureaucratic practices, by the furor over public welfare poverty, and by the collapse of current financing arrangements, powerful forces can be generated for major economic reforms at the national level.

There’s more at the link.  Their plan has become known as the “Cloward-Piven strategy“.

Whilst none of the three would have attached the label “Socialist” or “Communist” to themselves, their philosophies and activism undoubtedly meshed very closely with the ideals of those movements, particularly their more radical elements.  Many in the Obama administration were disciples of their teachings;  and, given that many of them are also leading lights in the Biden administration today, these radical influences remain a very potent force behind the current, ongoing radical attempts to remake this country.

I’m going to put the next paragraph in big, bold text, because if we fail to understand this, we’re doomed – and I mean that literally.

We’re now faced with a blatant reality that can no longer be hidden or denied.  The current administration is actively seeking to destroy the fabric of American society and remake it in a radical, extremist image.  The Biden administration and the progressive left of the Democratic Party embody and incorporate the teachings of Alinsky, Cloward and Piven to such an extent that they’ve replaced the constitution and the founding fathers as the foundation of their efforts.

The result is the ongoing, deliberate destruction of our nation.  As Sundance points out:

The Obama plan to use Biden as a disposable figure was designed for one specific four year term of maximum damage.

The polling is irrelevant.

Evidence of this purpose is found in the White House telling businesses to continue operating as if the vaccine mandate is legally authorized, despite a court ordered injunction against it.  We are in a post-constitutional system now where the traditional checks and balances are ignored.  This is a very Machiavellian approach being deployed against the American people.

The U.S. borders are unsecured, and illegal alien hordes are intentionally welcomed.  Again, by design.   Simultaneously, the U.S. military is likely to be put into a crisis position by thousands of critical servicemen rejecting the mandated vaccine.  Yes, another element of the design.  Saul Alinsky taught the designers how to overwhelm and collapse the system, they are doing exactly that.

. . .

These outcomes are akin to implanted terror cells that lay dormant for years and suddenly begin detonating their devices.  There are explosions everywhere, except these are not suicide vests, these are pre-planted deployments.

Education networks pushing CRT {BOOM} radical teachers unions unfazed.  Transportation and supply chains {BOOM} environmental activists unfazed.  Communication networks and social media tools for organizing {BOOM} big tech unfazed.  Legislative branch {BOOM} congressional representation unfazed.  Judicial branch {BOOM} courts ignored.  Justice Department {BOOM} DOJ and FBI unfazed.  It’s not only direct assaults, the collateral damage is the intended primary target.

Inflation is skyrocketing as a direct consequence of the design {BOOM} middle class is collateral damage, the communists don’t care.  Food and gasoline prices climbing creating massive pain for consumers {BOOM} the communists shrug – no biggie, watch us shut down more pipelines.  Major health impacts from forced vaccinations that were not appropriately tested {BOOM}, they don’t care – vax harder, vaccinate kids.  The collective program is designed to create maximum destabilization of all systems simultaneously.

Nothing within their plan requires the approval or consent of any representative body in Washington DC.  COVID is the tool to “fundamentally change” the way the United States exists.

. . .

Those behind the executive branch; those controlling Joe Biden; are harnessing and weaponizing power; a power dynamic created by fear and enabled by COVID narratives writ large.  Meanwhile, the legislative leftists are attempting to ensure the new systems they create under the guise of COVID-19 are never in a position to be withdrawn.

That’s the bigger picture.

That’s what they mean by “Build Back Better“.

The FIRST STEP in defending against this onslaught is to stop excusing it by saying they don’t know what they are doing, or any version of the incompetency argument.  They know exactly what they are doing.

Again, more at the link.

Sundance isn’t alone in recognizing this reality.  Bob Lonsberry is a controversial figure, but on this subject I believe he’s right on target.  He writes:

An idiot is right half the time.

But when somebody’s wrong all the time, that’s something else. That’s not an accident, that’s on purpose. That’s not stupidity, that’s evil.

That’s a plan.

And that’s what’s going on with Biden and the Democrats. They are crashing the country. They are triggering systemic failures across the society and economy. And they are doing it on purpose.

That’s the only plausible explanation.

Nobody is this stupid by accident.

Nobody could wreak this much havoc, or destroy this much security and prosperity this quickly, without intentionally setting out to do so.

Through executive orders and disastrous decisions, Biden and the Democrats have pushed several vast national systems into calamity or collapse. Healthcare, gasoline, transportation, consumer products availability and affordability, national defense, international relationships, labor, food supply, public safety. By any metric, 2021 has turned out to be the most unstable and potentially disastrous American year in generations.

They lit the fire of inflation and tossed it like a bomb into the lives of hundreds of millions of Americans.

And none of this has to do with the pandemic. Covid isn’t the cause, it’s the pretense. It is a convenient excuse to launch a long-planned attack on American liberty and prosperity. And it has worked.

And every indicator is downward. Every estimation of the burgeoning problems indicates that this is just the beginning and that any sort of recovery is more than a year away. With the turning of a calendar page, America has become less secure, less prosperous, and apparently intent on taking a big step out of the First World.

That’s not an accident.

That’s a hit job.

And that’s what progressivism is about. This is world socialism doing to the United States what it has long promised to do. This is no secret conspiracy. This was all done out in the open.

This is what fighting climate change looks like. This is what economic equality looks like. You can’t fix the world without breaking America. At least that’s what the progressives believe.

Let’s not kid ourselves.  That’s the reality we’re facing every single day.  Those who currently rule America (illegitimately, let us never forget – without massive electoral fraud in November 2020, they wouldn’t be in power) do not have our best interests at heart, nor the country’s.  They intend to entrench their extremist progressive-left ideology at the heart of America by the time the next Presidential election rolls around.  They want to entrench it so thoroughly that it’ll be impossible to uproot, and forever transform this nation.

Those of us who retain a loyalty to the constitution of the United States, and a devotion to the nation the Founding Fathers gave us, have a stark choice in front of us.  Obey, or be cast as violent extremists;  resist, or be consumed.  There’s an old saying that “you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs”.  As far as the powers that be are concerned, we’re eggs to be broken as they cook up a new America.  That’s all we mean to them.

I’ve seen this dynamic in operation in at least three nations in the Third World, and partly in operation in two more.  The results have always been the same.  Matters have degenerated until violence broke out;  then those seeking to impose transformation on those countries met violence with greater violence, until society was engulfed.  They recognized early on that they could not transform that society without extreme measures;  therefore, they provoked a situation where those extreme measures could and would be applied, and built their “transformed society” upon the charred remains of the old.

It never worked.  The destruction of the old did not bring about the triumph of the new;  it simply ensured that the new society had no foundations left to support it, so that it inevitably foundered and collapsed.

The same will happen here, if we allow the efforts of our current extremist rulers to succeed.  We need to resist them at every level, on every possible occasion.  Yes, that will mean they’ll target us, as a group and as individuals.  That happened to our Founding Fathers as well.  Their response was simple.  “We mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”  They knew that nothing less than such total commitment, such total unity, such total dedication, would ensure victory for their cause.  With it, they prevailed.

Why should we expect to get away with anything less?  That’s what it’s going to take to defeat the extremist evil that currently confronts us and our nation.

We can’t ignore them and hope they’ll go away, because they won’t ignore us, and they won’t go away or rest until we’ve knuckled under to their demands and obeyed them.

We can’t deter them.  We can only stop them, by any and all means necessary.
