No matter how mad the plan is – Fraternité, the “New Soviet Man,” the Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society, ObamaCare – a [liberal] mob will believe it.

In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no crimes, only criminals.

– Ann Coulter

Saul Alinsky & Lucifer

Saul Alinsky is the father of community organizing, the Marxist-anarchist who so profoundly inspired generations of Democrat insurrectionists, including a young Barack Obama who in 1985 become a community organizer in Chicagoland and in the 1990s did legal work for ACORN, one of the most reactionary and fraudulent community organizations in America.

Alinsky also inspired a former first lady and would-be president, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who in 1969 wrote her senior thesis at Wellesley extolling this villain who influenced generations of community organizations like – ACLU, La Raza, NOW, NAMBLA, PETA, AFL-CIO, NAACP, ACORN, Congressional Black Caucus, Human Rights Campaign, George Soros-funded socialist groups, LGBT agenda (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) and many other liberal mafia pressure groups.

To whom did Saul Alinsky dedicate his manifesto “Rules for Radicals”? — a book whose purpose was to deconstruct Christian nations and Western free-market republics. Let us read the dedication in the author’s own words:

Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer

Gideon

In my Sunday school class last week, we studied the story of Gideon found in Judges chapters 7 and 8. Before he became a great judge of Israel, Gideon was a cowardly farmer who in fear threshed wheat in a winepress pit to prevent the pagans from stealing it. However, he had an epiphany, embraced God’s calling on his life, repented, destroyed his father’s pagan idols and, with an army of only 300 men, totally routed the Amalekite-Midianite legions of which the Bible said numbered so many soldiers and camels that it was “a host without number.”

After this stupendous victory, Gideon had the unwise idea to collect a portion of gold from all his soldiers whereby he fashioned an ephod to commemorate the battle victory God gave Israel. After Gideon’s death, the Jews turned that ephod into an idol of pagan worship, causing the judgment of God to fall on Israel yet again.

Gideon teaches us that good intentions often lead to tragic consequences. So it is with America’s greatest liberal progressive presidents: Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Nixon, Clinton and Obama. All of these men had “good” intentions by stealing money from the rich and redistributing it to the poor who didn’t earn it. In the end, all that their Marxist, socialist, Keynesian schemes achieved was endemic laziness, societal ignorance, pathology and making Americans voluntary slaves to an ever-expanding government which grows at about $4 billion per day to our present $14.5 trillion debt.

American Loyalists

Mr. Milt Harris, one of my radio colleagues on Joshua’s Trail, had these profound words regarding the history of liberal Democrats, which from its beginnings was confederate with treason. In his monologue Milt said:

On the political front ever since George Washington defeated the British in 1781 at the Battle of Yorktown, Americans loyal to Britain, known as Loyalists, rather than accept defeat, began a siege to undermine the new nation. Later, in order to clandestinely expand their siege, they founded the Democrat Party so they could enact politically damaging anti-Constitution legislation.

Now, 230 years later, the political descendants of the Loyalists (the Democratic Party) still dominate politics in all of the New England States including from Maine to as far south as Virginia.

Obama as FDR II

One will never understand who President Obama is, the man, unless you have a rudimentary understanding of history, politics, philosophy and economics. Obama is the liberal establishment’s dream: the apotheosis and embodiment of all the fascist, atheist, anti-intellectual, nitwit liberal ideas pontificated in college lecture halls, spoken in university faculty lounges and written in books and academic journals few people have ever read.

Socialists like Barack and Michelle Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod, Hillary Clinton, Tim Geithner, Lawrence Summers, Wasserman-Schultz, Cornel West, Melissa Harris-Perry, and Obama’s Supreme Court nominees, Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, despite their Ivy League pedigree, show virtually no moral understanding of law, history, politics, economics or philosophy, no critical thinking or logic skills and appear to have accepted utterly the vile, myopic propaganda of their Marxist professors without question.

This groupthink mentality reminds me of FDR’s adoption of Mussolini’s aphorism: “Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”

Conclusion

The French Revolution (1789-99) was an overt war by liberal intellectuals in France against Christianity, the church, the clergy, and came at the end of the Age of Enlightenment (1650-1800) and before the later romantic movements of Darwinian evolution, Marxist socialism and Nietzsche’s relativism and atheism which all led directly to the decline of Western civilization. The previous intellectual trinity of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, was replaced with the imposter trinity: Marx, Darwin and Nietzsche (with Sigmund Freud thrown in for good measure).

Long before the Pilgrims, the Puritans and the founding of America in 1607, liberalism in all of its myriad of permutations, shadows and disguises infected the history of humanity – from Nimrod’s Tower of Babel (precursor to the United Nations), Baal worship, idolatry, materialism, paganism, witchcraft, doctrine of Jezebel (pagan worship of god through sex), doctrine of Molech (child sacrifice [i.e., abortion]), to slavery, secular humanism, democracy, Darwinism, communism, socialism, unionism, progressivism and living constitutionalism – it’s all liberal fascism, it’s all anti-God, anti-intellectual and Obama is using these pernicious ideas to purposely destroy America and deconstruct the U.S. Constitution so that he, the Democratic Party and its globalist allies can rule into perpetuity.

They are using lies and distortions to distract and divide.

~ Van Jones

President Obama and Van Jones are using lies and distortions to distract and divide the American people.

~ Ellis Washington (a paraphrase of Van Jones)

By now most of you have heard that late Saturday President Obama’s outspoken “green czar,” Van Jones, was forced to resign due to his repeated racist, communist and idiotic statements against American society and past presidents like George W. Bush, whom Van Jones called “a crackhead.”

Apparently, Van Jones was a highly touted recommendation from Valerie Jarrett, one of Barack’s (and Michelle’s) closet friends and senior adviser from Chicagoland. Surely the self-appointed “most transparent administration” in the history of the U.S. presidency would have done their proper due diligence in vetting this self-avowed communist and radical community organizer from the streets of Oakland, Calif., who has a law degree from an Ivy League school. … Sounds a little bit like Saul Alinsky, Barack and Michelle Obama, doesn’t it?

Just what did Obama and Jarrett know, and when did they know it? Surely Obama and his legions of socialist bureaucrats knew and approved this green czar and sanctioned his offensive, arrogant worldview that was expressed in his many political speeches. For example, in one speech, Jones said: “Give them [Native Americans] the wealth! Give them the dignity! Give them the respect!”

What caused Van Jones to get fired was that he wasn’t as sufficiently adept at concealing his radical intentions as Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett have been so far. Indeed, Jones’ entire career is Karl Marx revisited and is contained in Marx’s famous aphorism: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Let the world know your solution to tyranny and socialism in America with the magnetic bumper sticker: “IMPEACH OBAMA!”

In ridding himself of Van Jones, Obama also borrowed a policy from the Mexican drug cartels when they have a problem person in their way – plata o ploma, silver or lead? The bribe or the bullet? I believe that Jones was pulled aside over the weekend and told in no uncertain terms:

Obama to Van Jones: By signing the 9/11 Truther Manifesto claiming that America committed genocide against 3,000 of its own citizens, you’ve gone too far, and now you must resign. Van Jones, here are your choices: you can go back to Clinton’s chief of staff, John Podesta’s think tank, “Center for American Progress” and quietly write positions papers and give harmless speeches, or you can be forced out and have your career made dead – plata o ploma?

Jones may act and talk crazy, but he isn’t crazy. He’s is a shrewd demagogue, a vulgar political opportunist no different than Obama whose racialism, community organizing past and the street thug tactics of “The Chicago Way” make Van Jones merely President Obama’s alter ego. Jones just took his Marxist ideology too far, too fast and too obvious.

For example, in a radio interview in April 2008 Van Jones gleefully and repeatedly condemned America and capitalism while praising Marxism, tying it all together into a perverse, civil rights continuum:

Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said, “OK now we want reparations for slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages.” If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum “We just want to integrate these buses.”But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country. And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages. Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression altogether. … So the green economy will start off as a small subset, and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

Aside from Jones’ reactionary, revisionist view of history, this is right out of the Karl Marx/Saul Alinisky playbook. For at least 20 years since the fall of Soviet communism, the environmentalist movement of the left has shifted strategy to hijack civil rights tactics and language to further their cause, as demonstrated by the Van Jones speech above. Now “being green” is a civil right equal to MLK and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. This is a vile distortion of all that MLK gave his life for. We should not allow Jones, Obama or any political demagogue to get away with co-opting the hard fought moral gains of true equality paid for with the blood of black people with radical environmentalism, feminism, welfare, gay rights, unionism or other socialist movements of the left.

Saul Alinsky, an avowed communist, liberal icon of the 1940s-60s and the father of community organizing, said in rule 13 of his 1971 book, “Rules for Radicals”: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it.” Van Jones tried to polarize the American people, but we pushed back and Obama was forced to fire this useful idiot to save himself from further embarrassment.

America, let us use the momentum gleaned from the Van Jones resignation to purge this administration of all Obama’s alter egos – the communists, the communist sympathizers, the socialists, the fascists. Let us start with his science czar, John Holdren, who in his 1977 book, “Ecoscience” proposed: Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not, and the population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put into the nation’s drinking water or in food.

We the People have the power to reclaim our republic from the political regressives of the Obama administration if we would only use it.

By Larry Miller

The book Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky rose to prominence as some looked into the past and strategies of community organizer and presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama. It outlined the tactics and strategies he used and even taught in efforts to enforce his version of social justice on the American people.

It would do us well to have a look at these rules, since they have been used effectively against our society. Learning about his approach, and the methods used by the radicals surrounding the President can prepare us for dealing with them. We can even pick up a few pointers and turn some of them around on the current political establishment.

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. This means they community organizers become masters of illusion… deceit even. It comes down to attempts at intimidating the other side into concessions they would not make if they understood the reality.

Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people. This means that you speak the language and values of your allies. This has become so ingrained in the President that his off the cuff remarks about Professor Gates rolled off his tongue from years of practice in stoking the fires of racism and victimization.

Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Setting the terms of an argument gives you tremendous advantage. By making the opponent use your terms, you go a long way toward making it appear your premises are correct and they are just out of step. Beyond this, you are making them think in ways foreign to their normal thought processes.

Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. This works particularly well for the community organizing crowd when working with those of us with traditional values. As imperfect people, we rarely live up to our own standards perfectly. Then they play a game of gotcha. Even regular Democrats are masters of this ploy and why John Ensign got in trouble for an affair while Barney Frank suffered no consequences for having had gay prostitutes operating out of his apartment. The antidote is to accept our imperfections and not allow them to shame us into silence.

Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is such an effective weapon because it deflects the attention from the question no one wants to answer and angers the opponent which often leads them to appear irrational. This is often used with the birth certificate question… no answers are given, and attempts are made to destroy the credibility of the accuser.

Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. Dedication to a cause will keep people going only so long. There has to be something inherent in the activity that people enjoy. It can be as simple causing discomfort to a real or imagined foe.

Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Activities need to be changed frequently so they don’t become routine and people become bored. Even adults have limited attention spans.

Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. This is a psychological game to push the opponent into actions detrimental to their cause. Everywhere they turn they need to see something that keeps them from relaxing and planning. If they are constantly responding to your attacks, they have a difficult time attacking themselves.

Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. People’s imaginations can often carry them far beyond the reality of many situations. Years ago Alinsky just threatened to tie up all the washrooms at O’Hare Airport. City authorities quickly caved at the thought of bus loads of homeless people tying up washrooms as passengers filed off planes looking for relief. Nothing was done, but provide a threat of embarrassment to the City of Chicago.

Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. It’s not good enough just to be against something. When you shoot down someone’s proposal, you need to have another idea ready to go.

Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. It’s easier for your followers to have a recognizable villain to focus their hostility on. Find an identifiable individual or group of individuals, like insurance executives to blame problems on. Then… ignore any attempts to inject logic into the argument that will distract from the goal. Years ago Jews served this purpose… who will be next?

That was a brief overview of rules generated by Saul Alinsky. It may give you an idea of why values like honesty and logic don’t work in dealing with these radicals. Their minds don’t work the way ours do, and we share little in the way of values. We need to keep this in mind as we deal with them. Being forewarned is forearmed.
