<u><span style="color: #660000;">Ten Signs of a Culture's End</span></u></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Written by <a href="http://www.bradkeena.com/" target="_blank">Brad Keena</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue;">There are ten signs that depict the end of a culture. Great civilizations of the past were destroyed when people saw these signs but failed to act. Each of these indicators is with us today.</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">The first sign of the end of a culture is that of a society which no longer worships or acknowledges God.</span></u></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Christianity had played a significant role in the discovery and settlement of America. It had provided a standard in judging education, legislation, and behavior-both public and private. In the 1990s, it has actually become unpopular to advocate traditional Judeo-Christian values, such as the Ten Commandments. Thanks to Political Correctness, the popular culture ridicules those who worship God as the sovereign creator. Instead, it is popular to put our <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/clint_spirit.html">faith and trust in ourselves</a> or in other creations of God.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><u>A second indicator of the end of a culture is the decline of the family.</u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /> Just 40 years ago families usually lived close to grandparents. Fathers were responsible for the welfare of the family. Moms generally stayed home. It was safe to walk to school or go to the movies unattended. Today, statistics show divorce is at an all time high in the United States. It is now so common for young people to grow up in divorced households that the term "broken family" is now a forgotten expression in the popular culture. Fathers are living apart from their natural children. Mothers no longer stay at home, but work as a head of the household. As a result, women in our society have lost their feminine identity. As worship has declined, the spiritual values communicated by mothers have all but ended with a generation. The moral authority of fathers is undermined by a society that <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/family_values.html">no longer embraces the structure of the family</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">A third important indicator of cultural demise is a society's low view of life.</span></u> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Today, the popular culture now views <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/clint_abort.html">abortion</a> as a "right." The failure of our government to outlaw partial birth abortion for such a long time demonstrated how intolerant of life the culture has become. Steadily, society's undermining of life has grown to include calls for legalizing euthanasia, assisted suicide, and scientific experimentation. But history warns no society can last without a high view of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Another sign of the end of the civilization is the prevalence of base and immoral entertainment.</span></u></b></div>
<strong></strong><div style="text-align: center;">
<br />In its last days, Rome had become a society with an insatiable appetite for <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/value_of_women.html">debauchery and immorality</a>. Perverted entertainment translated into perverted speech and behavior. The Roman society began to accept and encourage open homosexuality. The people turned away from God and forgot his commandments and precepts, and Rome crumbled. And today, our culture has begun to embrace the same kind of entertainment. In music, a song eulogizing a murdered rap star has held the top spot on the charts for two months. Many of our movies now feature heroes who triumph by copying the vises of the villains. Television has scuttled its family hour for more dramas and sitcoms that treat perversion as normal behavior. Wholesome entertainment is becoming a forgotten relic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Still another troublesome indicator of society's demise is the increase of violent crime among young people.</span></u> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />Riddled with gang violence, many of our inner cities have become powder kegs portending future collapse. Today, young people think about death and dying more than any other subject. In fact, surveys indicate they think about death even more than they think about the opposite sex. There's a popular new sport called extreme fighting, in which combatants injure one another like the gladiators of Rome. The demise of the traditional family and absence of religion have combined to create a culture of children who are morally retarded. In the wake of this, our Politically Correct society offers young people <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/druguse.html">no consistent arguments against violence</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Another key cultural indicator is the declining middle class.</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> </b><br />Politicians have discovered one of the keys to reelection is to advocate more spending and government programs for the poor. The traditional middle class is now defined as rich. The work of the federal government has become the business of <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/socialist_agenda.html">redistributing wealth</a> through taxation and new government programs. After years of bureaucratic growth over the last fifty years, the United States has witnessed shrinking numbers of middle class wage earners, many of whom have become the working poor. The family structure has disintegrated over the last twenty-five years in part because of the economic pressure for women to join the workforce. This has lead to the increased polarization of the working class and the wealthy. Russia witnessed just such a polarization before a revolution ushered in the communist era.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Yet another sign of cultural demise is that of an insolvent Government.</span></u></b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />The French Revolution occurred against the backdrop of a <a href="http://www.clintonmemoriallibrary.com/clint_deficit.html">bankrupt government</a>. Today, our government has not managed a balanced budget in nearly thirty years. Beneath the annual budget lies a debt of unmanageable proportions. History warns that a government rendered insolvent cannot quell its disenchanted masses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Related to this, a government that lives off of society's moral decay is another sign of the end of a civilization.</span></u></b></div>
<strong></strong><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> The Roman civilization crumbled under the weight of an immoral and corrupt government. Over the years, our government has devised the creation of whole agencies that exist for no other reason than to manage some of the most immoral aspects of the culture. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Legal Services Corporation are examples of agencies that foster society's decline. Within the judicial branch of government, judges accountable to no one have helped undermine the religious freedoms that were once the centerpiece of our society. Laws once protected children and families. Criminals were punished severely for rape. People were arrested for cohabitation and adultery. Sodomy, outlawed in every state, was listed in the newspaper as a "crime against nature." A couple having a child out of wedlock was ostracized, and homosexuality was as foreign to the world as walking on the moon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><u>One obvious indicator that a culture is in decline is when the ruling class loses its will.</u></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /> Our nation's leaders no longer see the world according to right and wrong. Instead, the objective of today's foreign policy Establishment is to maintain the status quo. In like manner, our elected leaders have lost their moral authority. Elected officials no longer seek office for the good of the country but instead seek reelection to further lucrative careers within the Washington Establishment. Also, our nation's defense Establishment has traded military readiness for social experimentation with a feminized military.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="color: red;">The final indicator of the demise of a civilization is the failure of its people to see what is happening.</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /> In nearly every case, citizens of past civilizations which ended witnessed all of the signs of demise but failed to act. Today, the popular culture has helped society forget the lessons of history. In school, teachers used to teach the basics; children received report cards that actually reflected what they had achieved. In 1973, the NEA president said, "The day of basic skills is over . . . we will be the conveyor of national values" Today schools teach self-esteem and is a major tool used to indoctrinate our children. It's not uncommon in science class for children to be taught that humans evolved from a lower lifeform and that trees have the same right to life as humans. Children learn that it is okay to have two mommies and no daddy. Kids today are adept at using a calculator, but have no concept of multiplication or division. They cannot make change but score high in self-esteem. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the signs of the demise of our culture are with us today: the hostility toward religion, the breakup of the family, the declining view of life, the appetite immorality, the violence and crime, and the declining middle class are coupled with an federal government on the brink of insolvency, whose leaders are living off of society's moral decay leading to the loss of leadership and moral will. The education system has robbed our of a classic education; seduced them through deceit and outright lies; the court system has given us "rights" we never owned; the criminal justice system does not provide justice for those who are mistreated; legislators have legalized immoral behavior; and our national leaders have set an example of immorality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the days of Noah, God warned a faithless, immoral and violent civilization of the imminent catastrophe that was about to take place, but few listened. Tonight, our civilization is at the crossroads, but few are noticing the signs that are before us. It is time to take notice, and to pray for spiritual awakening in this country, before the light of our civilization goes out.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><u></u></span> </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">The following article by a real Journalist, one of the few left in the media today says what should be said about where we're headed as a people if we do not put rains on our media and bring back their true purpose!</span></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><u>John Pilger: How the media promotes the lies leading us to catastrophic war.</u></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The world faces the prospect of major war, but the truth is turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the Iraq bloodbath.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">WHY HAS SO MUCH journalism succumbed to propaganda?</span> </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Why are censorship and distortion standard practice? Why is the BBC so often a mouthpiece of rapacious power? Why do the New York Times and the Washington Post deceive their readers?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Why are young journalists not taught to understand media agendas and to challenge the high claims and low purpose of fake objectivity? And why are they not taught that the essence of so much of what's called the mainstream media is not information, but power?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>These are urgent questions. The world is facing the prospect of major war, perhaps nuclear war - with the United States clearly determined to isolate and provoke Russia and eventually China. This truth is being turned upside down and inside out by journalists, including those who promoted the lies that led to the bloodbath in Iraq in 2003.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The times we live in are so dangerous and so distorted in public perception that propaganda is no longer, as Edward Bernays called it, an "invisible government". It is the government. It rules directly without fear of contradiction and its principal aim is the conquest of us: our sense of the world, our ability to separate truth from lies.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The information age is actually a media age. We have war by media; censorship by media; demonology by media; retribution by media; diversion by media - a surreal assembly line of obedient clichés and false assumptions.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This power to create a new "reality" has been building for a long time. Forty-five years ago, a book entitled The Greening of America caused a sensation. On the cover were these words: "There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolutions of the past. It will originate with the individual."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>I was a correspondent in the United States at the time and recall the overnight elevation to guru status of the author, a young Yale academic, Charles Reich. His message was that truth-telling and political action had failed and only "culture" and introspection could change the world.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Within a few years, driven by the forces of profit, the cult of "me-ism" had all but overwhelmed our sense of acting together, our sense of social justice and internationalism. Class, gender and race were separated. The personal was the political, and the media was the message.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In the wake of the cold war, the fabrication of new "threats" completed the political disorientation of those who, 20 years earlier, would have formed a vehement opposition.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In 2003, I filmed an interview in Washington with Charles Lewis, the distinguished American investigative journalist. We discussed the invasion of Iraq a few months earlier. I asked him, "What if the freest media in the world had seriously challenged George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld and investigated their claims, instead of channeling what turned out to be crude propaganda?"</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>He replied that if we journalists had done our job "there is a very, very good chance we would have not gone to war in Iraq."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>That's a shocking statement, and one supported by other famous journalists to whom I put the same question. Dan Rather, formerly of CBS, gave me the same answer. David Rose of the Observer and senior journalists and producers in the BBC, who wished to remain anonymous, gave me the same answer.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In other words, had journalists done their job, had they questioned and investigated the propaganda instead of amplifying it, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children might be alive today; and millions might not have fled their homes; the sectarian war between Sunni and Shia might not have ignited, and the infamous Islamic State might not now exist.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Even now, despite the millions who took to the streets in protest, most of the public in western countries have little idea of the sheer scale of the crime committed by our governments in Iraq. Even fewer are aware that, in the 12 years before the invasion, the US and British governments set in motion a holocaust by denying the civilian population of Iraq a means to live.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Those are the words of the senior British official responsible for sanctions on Iraq in the 1990s - a medieval siege that caused the deaths of half a million children under the age of five, reported Unicef. The official's name is Carne Ross. In the Foreign Office in London, he was known as "Mr. Iraq". Today, he is a truth-teller of how governments deceive and how journalists willingly spread the deception. "We would feed journalists factoids of sanitised intelligence," he told me, "or we'd freeze them out."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The main whistleblower during this terrible, silent period was Denis Halliday. Then Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations and the senior UN official in Iraq, Halliday resigned rather than implement policies he described as genocidal. He estimates that sanctions killed more than a million Iraqis.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>What then happened to Halliday was instructive. He was airbrushed. Or he was vilified. On the BBC's Newsnight programme, the presenter Jeremy Paxman shouted at him: "Aren't you just an apologist for Saddam Hussein?" The Guardian recently described this as one of Paxman's "memorable moments". Last week, Paxman signed a £1 million book deal.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The handmaidens of suppression have done their job well. Consider the effects. In 2013, a ComRes poll found that a majority of the British public believed the casualty toll in Iraq was less than 10,000 - a tiny fraction of the truth. A trail of blood that goes from Iraq to London has been scrubbed almost clean.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Rupert Murdoch is said to be the godfather of the media mob, and no one should doubt the augmented power of his newspapers - all 127 of them, with a combined circulation of 40 million, and his Fox network. But the influence of Murdoch's empire is no greater than its reflection of the wider media.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The most effective propaganda is found not in the Sun or on Fox News - but beneath a liberal halo. When the New York Times published claims that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, its fake evidence was believed, because it wasn't Fox News; it was the New York Times.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The same is true of the Washington Post and the Guardian, both of which have played a critical role in conditioning their readers to accept a new and dangerous cold war. All three liberal newspapers have misrepresented events in Ukraine as a malign act by Russia - when, in fact, the fascist led coup in Ukraine was the work of the United States, aided by Germany and Nato.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This inversion of reality is so pervasive that Washington's military encirclement and intimidation of Russia is not contentious. It's not even news, but suppressed behind a smear and scare campaign of the kind I grew up with during the first cold war.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Once again, the evil empire is coming to get us, led by another Stalin or, perversely, a new Hitler. Name your demon and let rip.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The suppression of the truth about Ukraine is one of the most complete news blackouts I can remember. The biggest Western military build-up in the Caucasus and eastern Europe since world war two is blacked out. Washington's secret aid to Kiev and its neo-Nazi brigades responsible for war crimes against the population of eastern Ukraine is blacked out. Evidence that contradicts propaganda that Russia was responsible for the shooting down of a Malaysian airliner is blacked out.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>And again, supposedly liberal media are the censors. Citing no facts, no evidence, one journalist identified a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine as the man who shot down the airliner. This man, he wrote, was known as The Demon. He was a scary man who frightened the journalist. That was the evidence.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Many in the western media haves worked hard to present the ethnic Russian population of Ukraine as outsiders in their own country, almost never as Ukrainians seeking a federation within Ukraine and as Ukrainian citizens resisting a foreign-orchestrated coup against their elected government.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>What the Russian president has to say is of no consequence; he is a pantomime villain who can be abused with impunity. An American general who heads Nato and is straight out of Dr. Strangelove - one General Breedlove - routinely claims Russian invasions without a shred of visual evidence. His impersonation of Stanley Kubrick's General Jack D. Ripper is pitch perfect.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Forty thousand Ruskies were massing on the border, according to Breedlove. That was good enough for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Observer - the latter having previously distinguished itself with lies and fabrications that backed Blair's invasion of Iraq, as its former reporter, David Rose, revealed.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>There is almost the joi d'esprit of a class reunion. The drum-beaters of the Washington Post are the very same editorial writers who declared the existence of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction to be "hard facts".</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>"If you wonder," wrote Robert Parry, "how the world could stumble into world war three - much as it did into world war one a century ago - all you need to do is look at the madness that has enveloped virtually the entire US political/media structure over Ukraine where a false narrative of white hats versus black hats took hold early and has proved impervious to facts or reason."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Parry, the journalist who revealed Iran-Contra, is one of the few who investigate the central role of the media in this "game of chicken", as the Russian foreign minister called it. But is it a game? As I write this, the US Congress votes on Resolution 758 which, in a nutshell, says: "Let's get ready for war with Russia."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In the 19th century, the writer Alexander Herzen described secular liberalism as "the final religion, though its church is not of the other world but of this". Today, this divine right is far more violent and dangerous than anything the Muslim world throws up, though perhaps its greatest triumph is the illusion of free and open information.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In the news, whole countries are made to disappear. Saudi Arabia, the source of extremism and western-backed terror, is not a story, except when it drives down the price of oil. Yemen has endured twelve years of American drone attacks. Who knows? Who cares?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In 2009, the University of the West of England published the results of a ten-year study of the BBC's coverage of Venezuela. Of 304 broadcast reports, only three mentioned any of the positive policies introduced by the government of Hugo Chavez. The greatest literacy programme in human history received barely a passing reference.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In Europe and the United States, millions of readers and viewers know next to nothing about the remarkable, life-giving changes implemented in Latin America, many of them inspired by Chavez. Like the BBC, the reports of the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian and the rest of the respectable western media were notoriously in bad faith. Chavez was mocked even on his deathbed. How is this explained, I wonder, in schools of journalism?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Why are millions of people in Britain are persuaded that a collective punishment called "austerity" is necessary?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Following the economic crash in 2008, a rotten system was exposed. For a split second the banks were lined up as crooks with obligations to the public they had betrayed.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>But within a few months - apart from a few stones lobbed over excessive corporate "bonuses" - the message changed. The mugshots of guilty bankers vanished from the tabloids and something called "austerity" became the burden of millions of ordinary people. Was there ever a sleight of hand as brazen?</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Today, many of the premises of civilised life in Britain are being dismantled in order to pay back a fraudulent debt - the debt of crooks. The "austerity" cuts are said to be £83 billion. That's almost exactly the amount of tax avoided by the same banks and by corporations like Amazon and Murdoch's News UK. Moreover, the crooked banks are given an annual subsidy of £100bn in free insurance and guarantees - a figure that would fund the entire National Health Service.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The economic crisis is pure propaganda. Extreme policies now rule Britain, the United States, much of Europe, Canada and Australia. Who is standing up for the majority? Who is telling their story? Who's keeping record straight? </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Isn't that what journalists are meant to do?</strong></div>

<strong>In 1977, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, revealed that more than 400 journalists and news executives worked for the CIA. They included journalists from the New York Times, Time and the TV networks. In 1991, Richard Norton Taylor of the Guardian revealed something similar in this country.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>None of this is necessary today. I doubt that anyone paid the Washington Post and many other media outlets to accuse Edward Snowden of aiding terrorism. I doubt that anyone pays those who routinely smear Julian Assange - though other rewards can be plentiful.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>It's clear to me that the main reason Assange has attracted such venom, spite and jealously is that WikiLeaks tore down the facade of a corrupt political elite held aloft by journalists. In heralding an extraordinary era of disclosure, Assange made enemies by illuminating and shaming the media's gatekeepers, not least on the newspaper that published and appropriated his great scoop. He became not only a target, but a golden goose.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Lucrative book and Hollywood movie deals were struck and media careers launched or kick-started on the back of WikiLeaks and its founder. People have made big money, while WikiLeaks has struggled to survive.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>None of this was mentioned in Stockholm on 1 December when the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, shared with Edward Snowden the Right Livelihood Award, known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize. What was shocking about this event was that Assange and WikiLeaks were airbrushed. </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>They didn't exist. They were unpeople. No one spoke up for the man who pioneered digital whistleblowing and handed the Guardian one of the greatest scoops in history. Moreover, it was Assange and his WikiLeaks team who effectively - and brilliantly - rescued Edward Snowden in Hong Kong and sped him to safety. Not a word.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>What made this censorship by omission so ironic and poignant and disgraceful was that the ceremony was held in the Swedish parliament - whose craven silence on the Assange case has colluded with a grotesque miscarriage of justice in Stockholm.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>"When the truth is replaced by silence," said the Soviet dissident Yevtushenko, "the silence is a lie."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>It's this kind of silence we journalists need to break. We need to look in the mirror. We need to call to account an unaccountable media that services power and a psychosis that threatens world war.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>In the 18th century, Edmund Burke described the role of the press as a Fourth Estate checking the powerful. Was that ever true? It certainly doesn't wash any more. What we need is a Fifth Estate: a journalism that monitors, deconstructs and counters propaganda and teaches the young to be agents of people, not power. We need what the Russians called perestroika - an insurrection of subjugated knowledge. I would call it real journalism.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>It's 100 years since the First World War. Reporters then were rewarded and knighted for their silence and collusion. At the height of the slaughter, British prime minister David Lloyd George confided in C.P. Scott, editor of the Manchester Guardian: "If people really knew [the truth] the war would be stopped tomorrow, but of course they don't know and can't know."</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>It's time they knew.</strong></div>

He never joined the Communist Party but instead, as David Horowitz puts it, </strong><a href="http://newsrealblog.com/2009/08/20/post-modern-leftism-alinsky-beck-satan-and-me-part-v/"><strong>became an avatar of the post-modern left</strong></a><strong>.<br /><br /> Though Alinsky is rightfully understood to have been a leftist, his legacy is more </strong><a href="http://www.tnr.com/story_print.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7"><strong>methodological</strong></a><strong> than ideological. He identified a set of very specific rules that ordinary citizens could follow, and tactics that ordinary citizens could employ, as a means of gaining public power. His motto was, “The most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired results.”<br /><br />Alinsky studied criminology as a graduate student at the University of Chicago, during which time he </strong><a href="http://www.tnr.com/story_print.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7"><strong>became friendly with</strong></a><strong> Al Capone and his mobsters. </strong><a href="http://www.tnr.com/story_print.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7"><strong>Ryan Lizza</strong></a><strong>, senior editor of <em>The New Republic</em>, offers a glimpse into Alinsky’s personality: “Charming and self-absorbed, Alinsky would entertain friends with stories -- some true, many embellished -- from his mob days for decades afterward. He was profane, outspoken, and narcissistic, always the center of attention despite his tweedy, academic look and thick, horn-rimmed glasses.”<br /><br />According to Lizza: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "Alinsky was </span></strong><a href="http://www.tnr.com/story_print.html?id=a74fca23-f6ac-4736-9c78-f4163d4f25c7"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">deeply influenced</span></strong></a><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> by the great social science insight of his times, one developed by his professors at Chicago: that the pathologies of the urban poor were not hereditary but environmental. This idea, that people could change their lives by changing their surroundings, led him to take an obscure social science phrase—‘the community organization’--and turn it into, in the words of Alinsky biographer Sanford Horwitt, ‘something controversial, important, even romantic.’ His starting point was a near-fascination with John L. Lewis, the great labor leader and founder of the CIO. What if, Alinsky wondered, the same hardheaded tactics used by unions could be applied to the relationship between citizens and public officials?"</span> </strong></blockquote>
<strong>After completing his graduate work in criminology, Alinsky went on to develop what are known today as the Alinsky concepts of mass organization for power. In the late 1930s he earned a reputation as a master organizer of the poor when he organized the “Back of the Yards” area in Chicago, an industrial and residential ethnic neighborhood on the Southwest Side of the city, so named because it is near the site of the former Union Stockyards; this area had been made famous in Upton Sinclair's 1906 novel <em>The Jungle</em>. In 1940 Alinsky established the </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7493"><strong>Industrial Areas Foundation</strong></a><strong> (IAF), through which he and his staff helped “organize” communities not only in Chicago but throughout the United States. IAF remains an active entity to this day. Its national headquarters are located in Chicago, and it has </strong><a href="http://www.industrialareasfoundation.org/iafaffiliates/iafaffiliatesnat.htm"><strong>affiliates</strong></a><strong> in the District of Columbia, twenty-one separate states, and three foreign countries (Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom).<br /><br /> By the late 1960s, the Black Power movement would drive Alinsky and his organizing crusades out of the projects in African-American neighborhoods, leaving him no choice but to shift his focus to white communities. For this purpose, he established the Citizens Action Program (CAP), in 1970. As Stanley Kurtz writes in his 2010 book <em>Radical in Chief</em>: "Alinsky was ... convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America’s middle class against large corporations."<br /><br /> In the Alinsky model, “organizing” is a euphemism for “revolution” -- a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America’s social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted -- a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo’s complete collapse -- to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal “changes” are needed. <br /><br /> As Alinsky put it: “A reformation means that the masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. The time is then ripe for revolution.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="_ednref1"><strong>[1]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>“[W]e are concerned,” Alinsky elaborated, “with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace, cooperation, equal and full opportunities for education, full and useful employment, health, and the creation of those circumstances in which men have the chance to live by the values that give meaning to life. We are talking about a mass power organization which will change the world … This means revolution.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title="_ednref2"><strong>[2]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> But Alinsky’s brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. </strong><a href="http://www.catholiccitizens.org/platform/platformview.asp?c=45262"><strong>As Richard Poe puts it</strong></a><strong>, “Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.” He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform. This was precisely the tactic of “infiltration” advocated by Lenin and </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2042"><strong>Stalin</strong></a><strong>.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title="_ednref3"><strong>[3]</strong></a><strong> As Communist International General Secretary Georgi Dimitroff told the Seventh World Congress of the Comintern in 1935: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "Comrades, you remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy. Troy was inaccessible to the armies attacking her, thanks to her impregnable walls. And the attacking army, after suffering many sacrifices, was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy’s camp."</span></strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="_ednref4"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">[</span>4]</strong></a><strong> </strong></blockquote>
<strong>Alinsky’s revolution promised that by changing the structure of society’s institutions, it would rid the world of such vices as socio-pathology and criminality. Arguing that these vices were caused not by personal character flaws but rather by external societal influences, Alinsky's worldview was thoroughly steeped in the socialist left’s collectivist, class-based doctrine of economic determinism. “The radical’s affection for people is not lessened,” said Alinsky, “… when masses of them demonstrate a capacity for brutality, selfishness, hate, greed, avarice, and disloyalty. It is not the people who must be judged but the circumstances that made them that way.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn5" name="_ednref5" title="_ednref5"><strong>[5]</strong></a><strong> Chief among these circumstances, he said, were “the larcenous pressures of a materialistic society.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn6" name="_ednref6" title="_ednref6"><strong>[6]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> To counter that materialism, Alinsky favored a socialist alternative. He characterized his noble radical (read: “revolutionary”) as a social reformer who “places human rights far above property rights”; who favors “universal, free public education”; who “insists on full employment for economic security” but stipulates also that people’s tasks should “be such as to satisfy the creative desires within all men”; who “will fight conservatives” everywhere; and who “will fight privilege and power, whether it be inherited or acquired,” and “whether it be political or financial or organized creed.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn7" name="_ednref7" title="_ednref7"><strong>[7]</strong></a><strong> Alinsky maintained that radicals, finding themselves “adrift in the stormy sea of capitalism,”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn8" name="_ednref8" title="_ednref8"><strong>[8]</strong></a><strong> sought “to advance from the jungle of laissez-faire capitalism to a world worthy of the name of human civilization.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn9" name="_ednref9" title="_ednref9"><strong>[9]</strong></a><strong> “They hope for a future,” he said, “where the means of production will be owned by all of the people instead of just a comparative handful.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn10" name="_ednref10" title="_ednref10"><strong>[10]</strong></a><strong> In short, they wanted socialism.<br /><br /> In 1946 Alinsky wrote <em>Reveille for Radicals</em>, his first major book about the principles and tactics of “community organizing,” otherwise known as agitating for revolution. Twenty-five years later he authored <em>Rules for Radicals</em>, which expanded upon his earlier work. His writings, and the tactics outlined therein, have had a profound influence on all “social change” and “social justice” movements of recent decades.<br /><br /> Alinksy’s objective, which he clearly stated in <em>Rules for Radicals</em>, was to “present an arrangement of certain facts and general concepts of change, a step toward a science of revolution.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn11" name="_ednref11" title="_ednref11"><strong>[11]</strong></a><strong> <em>The Prince</em>, he elaborated, “was written by Macchiavelli for the Haves on how to hold onto power. <em>Rules for Radicals</em> is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn12" name="_ednref12" title="_ednref12"><strong>[12]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> If radicals were to be in the vanguard of the movement to transfer power from the Haves to the Have-Nots, Alinsky’s first order of business was to define precisely what a radical was. He approached this task by first distinguishing between liberals and radicals. Alinsky had no patience for those he called the liberals of his day -- people who were content to talk about the changes they wanted, but were unwilling to actively work for those changes. Rather, he favored “radicals” who were prepared to take bold, decisive action designed to transform society, even if that transformation could be achieved only slowly and incrementally. Wrote Alinsky: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "Liberals fear power or its application.… They talk glibly of people lifting themselves by their own bootstraps but fail to realize that nothing can be lifted except through power…. Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action -- by using power…. Liberals protest; radicals rebel. Liberals become indignant; radicals become fighting mad and go into action. Liberals do not modify their personal lives[,] and what they give to a cause is a small part of their lives; radicals give themselves to the cause. Liberals give and take oral arguments; radicals give and take the hard, dirty, bitter way of life."</span></strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn13" name="_ednref13" title="_ednref13"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">[</span>13]</strong></a><strong> </strong></blockquote>
<strong>If the purpose of radicalism is to bring about social transmutation, the radical must be prepared to make a persuasive case for why such change is urgently necessary. Alinsky’s conviction that American society needed a dramatic overhaul was founded on his belief that the status quo was intolerably miserable for most people. For one thing, Alinsky saw the United States as a nation rife with economic injustice. “The people of America live as they can,” he wrote. “Many of them are pent up in one-room crumbling shacks and a few live in penthouses.… The Haves smell toilet water, the Have-Nots smell just plain toilet.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn14" name="_ednref14" title="_ednref14"><strong>[14]</strong></a><strong> Lamenting the “wide disparity of wealth, privilege, and opportunity” he saw in America, Alinsky impugned the country’s “materialistic values and standards.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn15" name="_ednref15" title="_ednref15"><strong>[15]</strong></a><strong> “We know that man must cease worshipping the god of gold and the monster of materialism,” he said.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn16" name="_ednref16" title="_ednref16"><strong>[16]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Profound economic injustice was by no means America’s only shortcoming, as Alinsky saw things. Lamenting the nation’s “rather confused and demoralized ideology,”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn17" name="_ednref17" title="_ednref17"><strong>[17]</strong></a><strong> he further identified “unemployment,” “decay,” “disease,” “crime,” “distrust,” “bigotry,” “disorganization,” and “demoralization” as inevitable by-products of life in capitalist America.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn18" name="_ednref18" title="_ednref18"><strong>[18]</strong></a><strong> Such a state of affairs, he said, made life for a majority of Americans nothing more than an exercise in drudgery. “At the end of the week,” said Alinsky of the average American, “he comes out of the hell of monotony with a paycheck and goes home to a second round of monotony…. Monday morning he is back on the assembly line.… That, on the whole, is his life. A routine in which he rots. The dreariest, drabbest, grayest outlook that one can have. Simply a future of utter despair.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn19" name="_ednref19" title="_ednref19"><strong>[19]</strong></a><strong> “People hunger for drama and adventure, for a breath of life in a dreary, drab existence,” he expanded.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn20" name="_ednref20" title="_ednref20"><strong>[20]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> According to Alinsky, this unhappy existence exerted a profoundly negative influence on the American character. Alinsky perceived most Americans as people who were governed by their prejudices, and who thus felt great antipathy toward a majority of their fellow countrymen -- particularly those of different racial, ethnic, or religious backgrounds. “[M]ost people,” he said, “like just a few people, and either do not actively care for or actively dislike most of the ‘other’ people.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn21" name="_ednref21" title="_ednref21"><strong>[21]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Having painted a verbal portrait of a thoroughly corrupt and melancholy American society, Alinsky was now prepared to argue that wholesale change of great magnitude was in order. What was needed, he said, was a revolution in whose vanguard would be radicals committed to eliminating the “fundamental causes” of the nation’s problems,</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn22" name="_ednref22" title="_ednref22"><strong>[22]</strong></a><strong> and not content to merely deal with those problems’ “current manifestations”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn23" name="_ednref23" title="_ednref23"><strong>[23]</strong></a><strong> or “end products.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn24" name="_ednref24" title="_ednref24"><strong>[24]</strong></a><strong> The goal of the radical, he explained, must be to bring about “the destruction of the roots of all fears, frustrations, and insecurity of man, whether they be material or spiritual”;</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn25" name="_ednref25" title="_ednref25"><strong>[25]</strong></a><strong> to purge the land of “the vast destructive forces which pervade the entire social scene”;</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn26" name="_ednref26" title="_ednref26"><strong>[26]</strong></a><strong> and to eliminate “those destructive forces from which issue wars,” forces such as “economic injustice, insecurity, unequal opportunities, prejudice, bigotry, imperialism, … and other nationalistic neuroses.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn27" name="_ednref27" title="_ednref27"><strong>[27]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> The objective of ridding the nation of the aforementioned vices dovetailed perfectly with Alinsky’s belief that all societal problems were interrelated. According to Alinsky, if segments of the population were beset by crime, unemployment, inadequate housing, malnourishment, disease, demoralization, racism, discrimination, or religious intolerance, it was impossible to address, to any great effect, any particular one of those concerns in isolation. They “are simply parts of the whole picture,” he said. “They are not separate problems.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn28" name="_ednref28" title="_ednref28"><strong>[28]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br />“[A]ll problems are related and they are all the progeny of certain fundamental causes,” Alinsky elaborated.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn29" name="_ednref29" title="_ednref29"><strong>[29]</strong></a><strong> “Many apparently local problems are in reality malignant microcosms of vast conflicts, pressures, stresses, and strains of the entire social order.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn30" name="_ednref30" title="_ednref30"><strong>[30]</strong></a><strong> Thus “ultimate success in conquering these evils can be achieved only by victory over all evils.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn31" name="_ednref31" title="_ednref31"><strong>[31]</strong></a><strong> In other words, what was needed was a revolution, led by radicals, to literally turn society upside-down and inside-out.<br /><br /> Alinsky then proceeded to lay out the method by which radicals could achieve this goal by forming a host of “People’s Organizations” -- each with its own distinct name and mission, and each of which “thinks and acts in terms of social surgery and not cosmetic cover-ups.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn32" name="_ednref32" title="_ednref32"><strong>[32]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> These People’s Organizations were to be composed largely of discontented individuals who believed that society was replete with injustices that prevented them from being able to live satisfying lives. Such organizations, Alinsky advised, ought not be imported from the outside into a community, but rather should be staffed by locals who, with some guidance from trained radical organizers, could set their own agendas.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn33" name="_ednref33" title="_ednref33"><strong>[33]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> The installment of local leaders as the top-level officers of People’s Organizations helped give the organizations credibility and authenticity in the eyes of the community. This tactic closely paralleled the longtime Communist Party strategy of creating front organizations that ostensibly were led by non-communist fellow-travelers, but which were in fact controlled by Party members behind the scenes. As J. Edgar Hoover explained in his 1958 book <em>Masters of Deceit</em>: “To make a known Party member president of a front would immediately label it as ‘communist.’ But if a sympathizer can be installed, especially a man of prominence, such as an educator, minister, or scientist, the group can operate as an ‘independent’ organization.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn34" name="_ednref34" title="_ednref34"><strong>[34]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Alinsky taught that the organizer’s first task was to make people feel that they were wise enough to diagnose their own problems, find their own solutions, and determine their own destinies. The organizer, said Alinsky, must exploit the fact that “[m]illions of people feel deep down in their hearts that there is no place for them, that they do not ‘count.’”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn35" name="_ednref35" title="_ednref35"><strong>[35]</strong></a><strong> To exploit this state of affairs effectively, Alinsky explained, the organizer must employ such techniques as the artful use of “loaded questions designed to elicit particular responses and to steer the organization’s decision-making process in the direction which the organizer prefers.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn36" name="_ednref36" title="_ednref36"><strong>[36]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>“Is this manipulation?” asked Alinsky. “Certainly,” he answered instantly.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn37" name="_ednref37" title="_ednref37"><strong>[37]</strong></a><strong> But it was manipulation toward a desirable end: “If the common man had a chance to feel that he could direct his own efforts … that to a certain extent there was a destiny that he could do something about, that there was a dream that he could keep fighting for, then life would be wonderful living.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn38" name="_ednref38" title="_ednref38"><strong>[38]</strong></a><strong> In Alinsky’s calculus, the common man could achieve this renewed vitality of spirit via his membership and active participation in the People’s Organization.<br /><br /> Alinsky viewed as supremely important the role of the organizer, or master manipulator, whose guidance was responsible for setting the agendas of the People’s Organization. “The organizer,” Alinsky wrote, “is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach -- to create, to be a ‘great creator,’ to play God.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn39" name="_ednref39" title="_ednref39"><strong>[39]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Alinsky laid out a set of basic principles to guide the actions and decisions of radical organizers and the People’s Organizations they established. The organizer, he said, “must first rub raw the resentments of the people; fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn40" name="_ednref40" title="_ednref40"><strong>[40]</strong></a><strong> The organizer’s function, he added, was “to agitate to the point of conflict”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn41" name="_ednref41" title="_ednref41"><strong>[41]</strong></a><strong> and “to maneuver and bait the establishment so that it will publicly attack him as a ‘dangerous enemy.’”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn42" name="_ednref42" title="_ednref42"><strong>[42]</strong></a><strong> “The word ‘enemy,’” said Alinsky, “is sufficient to put the organizer on the side of the people”; i.e., to convince members of the community that he is so eager to advocate on their behalf, that he has willingly opened himself up to condemnation and derision. </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn43" name="_ednref43" title="_ednref43"><strong>[43]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> But it is not enough for the organizer to be in solidarity with the people. He must also, said Alinsky, cultivate unity against a clearly identifiable enemy; he must specifically name this foe, and “singl[e] out”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn44" name="_ednref44" title="_ednref44"><strong>[44]</strong></a><strong> precisely who is to blame for the “particular evil” that is the source of the people’s angst.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn45" name="_ednref45" title="_ednref45"><strong>[45]</strong></a><strong> In other words, there must be a face associated with the people’s discontent. That face, Alinsky taught, “must be a personification, not something general and abstract like a corporation or City Hall.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn46" name="_ednref46" title="_ednref46"><strong>[46]</strong></a><strong> Rather, it should be an individual such as a CEO, a mayor, or a president. <br /><br /> Alinsky summarized it this way: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it…. [T]here is no point to tactics unless one has a target upon which to center the attacks.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn47" name="_ednref47" title="_ednref47"><strong>[47]</strong></a><strong> He held that the organizer’s task was to cultivate in people’s hearts a negative, visceral emotional response to the face of the enemy. “The organizer who forgets the significance of personal identification,” said Alinsky, “will attempt to answer all objections on the basis of logic and merit. With few exceptions this is a futile procedure.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn48" name="_ednref48" title="_ednref48"><strong>[48]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky also advised organizers to focus their attention on a small number of selected, strategic targets. Spreading an organization’s passions too thinly was a recipe for certain failure, he warned.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn49" name="_ednref49" title="_ednref49"><strong>[49]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky advised the radical activist to avoid the temptation to concede that his opponent was not “100 per cent devil,” or that he possessed certain admirable qualities such as being “a good churchgoing man, generous to charity, and a good husband.” Such qualifying remarks, Alinsky said, “dilut[e] the impact of the attack” and amount to sheer “political idiocy.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn50" name="_ednref50" title="_ednref50"><strong>[50]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky stressed the need for organizers to convince their followers that the chasm between the enemy and the members of the People’s Organization was vast and unbridgeable. “Before men can act,” he said, “an issue must be polarized. Men will act when they are convinced their cause is 100 percent on the side of the angels, and that the opposition are 100 percent on the side of the devil.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn51" name="_ednref51" title="_ednref51"><strong>[51]</strong></a><strong> Alinsky advised this course of action even though he well understood that the organizer “knows that when the time comes for negotiations it is really only a 10 percent difference.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn52" name="_ednref52" title="_ednref52"><strong>[52]</strong></a><strong> But in Alinsky’s brand of social warfare, the ends (in this case, the transfer of power) justify virtually whatever means are required (in this case, lying).</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn53" name="_ednref53" title="_ednref53"><strong>[53]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Winning was all that mattered in Alinsky’s strategic calculus: “The morality of a means depends on whether the means is being employed at a time of imminent defeat or imminent victory.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn54" name="_ednref54" title="_ednref54"><strong>[54]</strong></a><strong> “The man of action … thinks only of his actual resources and the possibilities of various choices of action,” Alinsky added. “He asks only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn55" name="_ednref55" title="_ednref55"><strong>[55]</strong></a><strong> For Alinsky, all morality was relative: “The judgment of the ethics of means is dependent on the political position of those sitting in judgment.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn56" name="_ednref56" title="_ednref56"><strong>[56]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Given that the enemy was to be portrayed as the very personification of evil, against whom any and all methods were fair game, Alinsky taught that an effective organizer should never give the appearance of being fully satisfied as a result of having resolved any particular conflict via compromise. Any compromise with the “devil” is, after all, by definition morally tainted and thus inadequate. Consequently, while the organizer may acknowledge that he is pleased by the compromise as a small step in the right direction, he must make it absolutely clear that there is still a long way to go, and that many grievances still remain unaddressed. The ultimate goal, said Alinsky, is not to arrive at compromise or peaceful coexistence, but rather to “crush the opposition,” bit by bit.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn57" name="_ednref57" title="_ednref57"><strong>[57]</strong></a><strong> “A People’s Organization is dedicated to eternal war,” said Alinsky. “… A war is not an intellectual debate, and in the war against social evils there are no rules of fair play.… When you have war, it means that neither side can agree on anything…. In our war against the social menaces of mankind there can be no compromise. It is life or death.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn58" name="_ednref58" title="_ednref58"><strong>[58]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky warned the organizer to be on guard against the possibility that the enemy might offer him “a constructive alternative” aimed at resolving the conflict. Said Alinsky, “You cannot risk being trapped by the enemy in his sudden agreement with your demand and saying, ‘You’re right -- we don’t know what to do about this issue. Now you tell us.’”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn59" name="_ednref59" title="_ednref59"><strong>[59]</strong></a><strong> Such capitulation by the enemy would have the effect of diffusing the righteous indignation of the People’s Organization, whose very identity is inextricably woven into the fight for long-denied justice; i.e., whose struggle and identity are synonymous. If the perceived oppressor surrenders or extends a hand of friendship in an effort to end the conflict, the crusade of the People’s Organization is jeopardized. This cannot be permitted. Eternal war, by definition, must never end.<br /><br /> While Alinsky endorsed ruthlessness in waging war against the enemy, he was nonetheless mindful that certain approaches were more likely to win the hearts and minds of the people whose support would be crucial to the organizers’ ultimate victory. Above all, he taught that in order to succeed, the organizer and his People’s Organization needed to target their message toward the middle class. “Mankind,” said Alinsky, “has been and is divided into three parts: the Haves, the Have-Nots, and the Have-a-Little, Want Mores.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn60" name="_ednref60" title="_ednref60"><strong>[60]</strong></a><strong> He explained that in America, the Have-a-Little, Want-Mores (i.e., members of the middle class) were the most numerous and therefore of the utmost importance.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn61" name="_ednref61" title="_ednref61"><strong>[61]</strong></a><strong> Said Alinsky: “Torn between upholding the status quo to protect the little they have, yet wanting change so they can get more, they [the middle class] become split personalities… Thermopolitically they are tepid and rooted in inertia. Today in Western society and particularly in the United States they comprise the majority of our population.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn62" name="_ednref62" title="_ednref62"><strong>[62]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky stressed that organizers and their followers needed to take care, when first unveiling their particular crusade for “change,” not to alienate the middle class with any type of crude language, defiant demeanor, or menacing appearance that suggested radicalism or a disrespect for middle class mores and traditions. For this very reason, he disliked the hippies and counterculture activists of the 1960s. </strong><a href="http://www.catholiccitizens.org/platform/platformview.asp?c=45262"><strong>As Richard Poe puts it</strong></a><strong>: “Alinsky scolded the Sixties Left for scaring off potential converts in Middle America. True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within.” </strong><br />
<strong>In his book <em>Radical in Chief</em>, Stanley Kurtz describes Alinsky as "a cross between a democratic socialist and a communist fellow traveler." But Alinsky carefully avoiding drawing any attention to that fact. Writes Kurtz: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "He was smart enough to avoid Marxist language in public.... Instead of calling for the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, Alinsky and his followers talk about 'confronting power.' Instead of advocating socialist revolution, they demand 'radical social change.' Instead of demanding attacks on capitalists, they go after 'targets' or 'enemies.'"</span></strong></blockquote>
<strong>While Alinsky's ultimate goal was nothing less than the “radicalization of the middle class,” he stressed the importance of “learning to talk the language of those with whom one is trying to converse.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn63" name="_ednref63" title="_ednref63"><strong>[63]</strong></a><strong> “Tactics must begin with the experience of the middle class,” he said, “accepting their aversion to rudeness, vulgarity, and conflict. Start them easy, don’t scare them off.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn64" name="_ednref64" title="_ednref64"><strong>[64]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> To appeal to the middle class, Alinsky continued, “goals must be phrased in general terms like ‘Liberty, Equality, Fraternity’; ‘Of the Common Welfare’; ‘Pursuit of happiness’; or ‘Bread and Peace.’”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn65" name="_ednref65" title="_ednref65"><strong>[65]</strong></a><strong> He suggested, for instance, that an effective organizer “discovers what their [the middle class’] definition of the police is, and their language -- [and] he discards the rhetoric that always says ‘pig’ [in reference to police]. Instead of hostile rejection he is seeking bridges of communication and unity over the gaps…. He will view with strategic sensitivity the nature of middle-class behavior with its hang-ups over rudeness or aggressive, insulting, profane actions. All this and more must be grasped and used to radicalize parts of the middle class.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn66" name="_ednref66" title="_ednref66"><strong>[66]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> A related principle taught by Alinsky was that radical organizers must not only speak the language of the middle class, but that they also must dress their crusades in the vestments of morality. “Moral rationalization,” he said, “is indispensable to all kinds of action, whether to justify the selection or the use of ends or means.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn67" name="_ednref67" title="_ednref67"><strong>[67]</strong></a><strong> “All great leaders,” he added, “invoked ‘moral principles’ to cover naked self-interest in the clothing of ‘freedom,’ ‘equality of mankind,’ ‘a law higher than man-made law,’ and so on.” In short: “All effective actions require the passport of morality.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn68" name="_ednref68" title="_ednref68"><strong>[68]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> But Alinsky understood that there was a flip side to his strategy of speaking the palatable language of the middle class and the reassuring parlance of morality. Specifically, he said that organizers must be entirely unpredictable and unmistakably willing -- for the sake of the moral principles in whose name they claim to act -- to watch society descend into utter chaos and anarchy. He stated that they must be prepared, if necessary, to “go into a state of complete confusion and draw [their] opponent into the vortex of the same confusion.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn69" name="_ednref69" title="_ednref69"><strong>[69]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> One way in which organizers and their disciples can broadcast their preparedness for this possibility is by staging loud, defiant, massive protest rallies expressing deep rage and discontent over one particular injustice or another. Such demonstrations can give onlookers the impression that a mass movement is preparing to shift into high gear, and that its present (already formidable) size is but a fraction of what it eventually will become. A “mass impression,” said Alinsky, can be lasting and intimidating: “Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn70" name="_ednref70" title="_ednref70"><strong>[70]</strong></a><strong> “The threat,” he added, “is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn71" name="_ednref71" title="_ednref71"><strong>[71]</strong></a><strong> “If your organization is small in numbers,” said Alinsky, “… conceal the members in the dark but raise a din and clamor that will make the listener believe that your organization numbers many more than it does.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn72" name="_ednref72" title="_ednref72"><strong>[72]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong>“Wherever possible,” Alinsky counseled, “go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn73" name="_ednref73" title="_ednref73"><strong>[73]</strong></a><strong> Marching mobs of chanting demonstrators accomplishes this objective. The average observer’s reaction to such a display is of a dual nature: First he is afraid. But he also recalls the organizer’s initial articulation of middle-class ideals and morals. Thus he convinces himself that the People’s Organization is surely composed of reasonable people who actually hold values similar to his own, and who seek resolutions that will be beneficial to both sides. This thought process causes him to proffer -- in hopes of appeasing the angry mobs -- concessions and admissions of guilt, which the organizer in turn exploits to gain still greater moral leverage and to extort further concessions.<br /><br /> In Alinsky’s view, action was more often the catalyst for revolutionary fervor than vice versa. He deemed it essential for the organizer to get people to act first (e.g., participate in a demonstration) and rationalize their actions later. “Get them to move in the right direction first,” said Alinsky. “They’ll explain to themselves later why they moved in that direction.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn74" name="_ednref74" title="_ednref74"><strong>[74]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong><span style="color: blue;"> Among the most vital tenets of Alinsky’s method were the following:</span> </strong><br />
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">“Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more live up to their own rules than the Christian Church can live up to Christianity.”</span></strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn75" name="_ednref75" title="_ednref75"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">[75]</span></strong></a></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">“No organization, including organized religion, can live up to the letter of its own book. You can club them to death with their ‘book’ of rules and regulations.”</span></strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn76" name="_ednref76" title="_ednref76"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">[76]</span></strong></a></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">“Practically all people live in a world of contradictions. They espouse a morality which they do not practice.… This dilemma can and should be fully utilized by the organizer in getting individuals and groups involved in a People’s Organization. It is a very definite Achilles’ heel even in the most materialistic person. Caught in the trap of his own contradictions, that person will find it difficult to show satisfactory cause to both the organizer and himself as to why he should not join and participate in the organization. He will be driven either to participation or else to a public and private admission of his own lack of faith in democracy and man.”</span></strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn77" name="_ednref77" title="_ednref77"><strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">[77]</span></strong></a><strong> </strong></li>
</ul>
<strong>Alinsky taught that in order to most effectively cast themselves as defenders of moral principals and human decency, organizers must react with “shock, horror, and moral outrage” whenever their targeted enemy in any way misspeaks or fails to live up to his “book of rules.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn78" name="_ednref78" title="_ednref78"><strong>[78]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Moreover, said Alinsky, whenever possible the organizer must deride his enemy and dismiss him as someone unworthy of being taken seriously because he is either intellectually deficient or morally bankrupt. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength,” said Alinsky.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn79" name="_ednref79" title="_ednref79"><strong>[79]</strong></a><strong> He advised organizers to “laugh at the enemy” in an effort to provoke “an irrational anger.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn80" name="_ednref80" title="_ednref80"><strong>[80]</strong></a><strong> “Ridicule,” said Alinsky, “is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn81" name="_ednref81" title="_ednref81"><strong>[81]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> According to Alinsky, it was vital that organizers focus on multiple crusades and multiple approaches. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag,” he wrote. “Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time … New issues and crises are always developing…”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn82" name="_ednref82" title="_ednref82"><strong>[82]</strong></a><strong> “Keep the pressure on,” he continued, “with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn83" name="_ednref83" title="_ednref83"><strong>[83]</strong></a><strong> <br /><br /> Toward this end, Alinksy advised organizers to be sure that they always kept more than one “fight in the bank.” In other words, organizers should keep a stockpile of comparatively small crusades which they are already prepared to conduct, and to which they can instantly turn their attention after having won a major victory of some type. These “fights in the bank” serve the dual purpose of keeping the organization’s momentum going, while not allowing its major crusade to get “stale” from excessive public exposure.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn84" name="_ednref84" title="_ednref84"><strong>[84]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> A People’s Organization, said Alinsky, can build a wide-based membership only if it focuses on multiple issues (e.g., civil rights, civil liberties, welfare, rent, urban renewal, the environment, etc.) “Multiple issues mean constant action and life,” Alinsky wrote.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn85" name="_ednref85" title="_ednref85"><strong>[85]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky cautioned organizers to judiciously choose to initiate only those battles which they stood a very good chance of winning. “The organizer’s job,” he said, “is to begin to build confidence and hope in the idea of organization and thus in the people themselves: to win limited victories, each of which will build confidence and the feeling that ‘if we can do so much with what we have now, just think what we will be able to do when we get big and strong.’ It is almost like taking a prize-fighter up the road to the championship -- you have to very carefully and selectively pick his opponents, knowing full well that certain defeats would be demoralizing and end his career.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn86" name="_ednref86" title="_ednref86"><strong>[86]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> Alinsky also taught that in some cases the mission of the People’s Organization could be aided if the organizer was able to get himself arrested and thereafter exploit the publicity he derived from the arrest. “Jailing the revolutionary leaders and their followers,” Alinsky said, “… strengthens immeasurably the position of the leaders with their people by surrounding the jailed leadership with an aura of martyrdom; it deepens the identification of the leadership with their people.” It shows, he said, “that their leadership cares so much for them, and is so sincerely committed to the issue, that it is willing to suffer imprisonment for the cause.”</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn87" name="_ednref87" title="_ednref87"><strong>[87]</strong></a><strong> But Alinsky stipulated that organizers should seek to be jailed only for a short duration (from one day to two months); longer terms of incarceration, he said, have a tendency to fall from public consciousness and to be forgotten.</strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printindividualProfile.asp?indid=2314#_edn88" name="_ednref88" title="_ednref88"><strong>[88]</strong></a><br /><br /><strong> During the 1960s Alinsky was an enormously influential force in American life. As Richard Poe </strong><a href="http://www.catholiccitizens.org/platform/platformview.asp?c=45262"><strong>reports</strong></a><strong>: “When President Johnson launched his War on Poverty in 1964, Alinsky allies infiltrated the program, steering federal money into Alinsky projects. In 1966, Senator Robert Kennedy allied himself with union leader Cesar Chavez, an Alinsky disciple. Chavez had worked ten years for Alinsky, beginning in 1952. Kennedy soon drifted into Alinsky's circle. After race riots shook Rochester, New York, Alinsky descended on the city and began pressuring Eastman-Kodak to hire more blacks. Kennedy supported Alinsky's shakedown.”<br /><br />Alinsky died in 1972, but his legacy lives on as a staple of leftist method, a veritable blueprint for revolution (which he and his disciples euphemistically refer to as “change”).

She concluded her thesis by </strong><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17388372/" target="_blank"><strong>stating</strong></a><strong>: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared -- just as Eugene Debs [the five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President] or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths -- democracy." </span></strong></blockquote>
<strong>Hillary would maintain her allegiance to Alinsky's teachings throughout her adult life. </strong><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/24/AR2007032401152_pf.html"><strong>According to a March 2007 <em>Washington Post</em> report</strong></a><strong>: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "As first lady, Clinton occasionally lent her name to projects endorsed by the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), the Alinsky group that had offered her a job in 1968. She raised money and attended two events organized by the Washington Interfaith Network, an IAF affiliate."</span> </strong></blockquote>
<strong>Ultimately, Hillary's investigation of Alinsky's methods and ideals led her to conclude that the Lyndon Johnson-era federal antipoverty programs did not go far enough in redistributing wealth among the American people, and did not give sufficient power to the poor.<br /><br /> When Hillary graduated from Wellesley in 1969, she was offered a job with Alinsky's new training institute in Chicago. She opted instead to enroll at Yale Law School.<br /><br /> Unlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama never personally met Saul Alinsky. By the time Alinsky died in 1972, Obama was only 11 years old. But as a young man, he became a master practitioner of Alinsky's methods. In 1985 a small group of 20-odd churches in Chicago offered Obama a job helping residents of poor, predominantly black, Far South Side neighborhoods. Accepting that opportunity, Obama became Director of the Developing Communities Project, where he worked for the next three years on initiatives that ranged from job training to school reform to hazardous waste cleanup. David Freddoso, author of the 2008 book <em>The Case Against Barack Obama</em>, summarizes Obama's community-organizing efforts as follows: </strong><blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "He pursued manifestly worthy goals; protecting people from asbestos in government housing projects is obviously a good thing and a responsibility of the government that built them. But [in every case except one] the proposed solution to every problem on the South Side was a distribution of government funds ..."</span> </strong></blockquote>
<a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MTY5ZTA5NmEwMGY4MTFhNDg2ZDg4NjU2MDkxOGYyYTE=&w=MA=="><strong>Three of Obama's mentors in Chicago were trained</strong></a><strong> at the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation. (The Developing Communities Project itself was an affiliate of the </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7004"><strong>Gamaliel Foundation</strong></a><strong>, whose modus operandi for the creation of “a more just and democratic society” is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.)<br /><br /> One of Obama's early mentors in the Alinsky method, Mike Kruglik, would later </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/bobamasunlikelypoliticaledu.html"><strong>say</strong></a><strong> the following about Obama: </strong><br />
<blockquote>
<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> "He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better."</span> </strong></blockquote>
<strong>For several years, Obama himself </strong><a href="http://centurean2.wordpress.com/2008/11/27/free-marxist-worldchange-change-changerevolution-without-one-shot-fired/"><strong>taught workshops</strong></a><strong> on the Alinsky method. Also, beginning in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6968"><strong>ACORN</strong></a><strong>, the Alinskyite grassroots political organization that grew out of </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1769"><strong>George Wiley</strong></a><strong>'s National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO).<br /></strong><br />

A Practical Guide to Restoring Liberty</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>by James Simpson</strong></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
A Country in Crisis</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>America is a country in crisis. From financial meltdown to economic hardship; from a growing list of hostile foes to grave doubts among our allies; from failures in schools and fractured families to federal government intrusion into virtually every aspect of life, our country faces a profound, multi-dimensional crisis that threatens to destroy our livelihoods, our form of government and our very way of life. It casts a bleak shadow on the future for our children, their children and all future generations.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The events of the Obama administration’s first two years have brought this crisis into sharp focus. Never in recent memory have any President and Congress attempted to move so far, so fast to radically transform our country. They have sought to impose vast new regulatory regimes against our will, and engaged in a budget busting spending spree – robbing a flagging economy of much-needed resources and raising the specter of rampant inflation. And while threatening economic stability at home, the administration pursues a foreign policy of indulging our enemies and undermining national defense.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>But this radical leftist administration and Democrat-controlled Congress are only a symptom of a larger systemic problem. The radical Left represents an indescribably destructive system of thinking and philosophy of government that has gradually been “mainstreamed” over the past century. It infests our grade schools and college campuses. It pervades the thinking of most among our media elite, the political class and even the church. It must be expunged from our national psyche if we are ever to rescue ourselves from this crisis.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>America has become detached and largely ignorant of the core principles that made this country great. It is critical to our long-term survival that we rediscover and embrace again the key concepts of individual freedom, individual responsibility, limited government and the rule of law.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The founders of this country gave us an incredible set of documents: the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. These documents provide a firm road map to return our country to fiscal and moral responsibility, and are the reason we have been a beacon of hope for the rest of the world for over two centuries.</strong></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
The Solution</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>“It does not take a majority to prevail … but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”</em> Samuel Adams</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>America’s unique spirit of freedom and independence has bred in us a brave, resourceful and innovative nature. In times of past crises, Americans have always risen to the occasion. Now Americans have answered the call once more, as the Tea Party movement, or perhaps it should be called the <em>Liberty Movement</em>, blossomed spontaneously to meet these challenges.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>At rallies and town halls over the spring and summer of 2009, the American people expressed a growing chorus of concern. The massive Washington, DC rally on Sept. 12<sup>th</sup> removed any doubt that there was a nationwide movement afoot. Stunning political reversals in New Jersey and Virginia’s special elections last fall were stern warnings to the liberals, and the January 2010 election of a Republican to fill the seat left by the death of ultra-liberal Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy was, like Concord, Massachusetts, 235 years before, “the shot heard round the world.” Primaries and special elections in 2010, including the first Hawaiian Republican Congressman in 20 years, further confirm this sea change in national outlook.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The </strong><a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/04/the_battleground_poll_and_the_1.html"><strong>April 2010 Battleground Poll</strong></a><strong>, considered to be one of the most accurate political polls, found that 59 percent of Americans identify themselves as conservative. Since 2002, this number has never gone below 58 percent. This is three-fifths of the population!</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Polls indicate that a majority of the American people support the Tea Party message. </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>A whopping 58 percent of mainstream voters have a favorable opinion of the Tea Party movement. A recent Rasmussen poll says that </strong><a href="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/april_2010/34_say_they_or_someone_close_to_them_part_of_tea_party_movement"><strong>24 percent</strong></a><strong> of all Americans say that they or someone close to them is a Tea Partier. That is one quarter of the population.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>While not all tea partiers are conservatives and vice versa, we share a common goal. That is to scale back massive government intrusion into our lives and restore America’s constitutional principles: limited government and the rule of law.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Combined, we represent an overwhelming majority of Americans. <em>“We surround them,”</em> as Glenn Beck says. In fact, about the only people who oppose our message are the radical Left. In other words, <em>we are America!</em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Our <em>potential</em> political power is vast, but we have a long way to go to realize that potential. The Left is deeply entrenched within our institutions. Vladimir Lenin exhorted his followers: <em>“Organize, organize, organize.”</em> The Left took this lesson to heart and today acts largely as one mass organism – the various groups operating with common goals and coordinated activities. In any policy debate they speak with one voice, and that voice is endlessly echoed in the mass media mouthpiece they control.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>We have to take a cue from Lenin and <em>fuse our potential into organized action</em>. We must commit ourselves to working together as one movement to retake the levers of power at all levels of government. Our goal is to scale back government’s massive growth, and rid ourselves of the leftist termites that for decades have been ceaselessly gnawing away at the foundations of our institutions, our culture and our Constitution.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This will not be easy. Not only are we threatening an ideology the Left has spent decades implanting in the American psyche, we are threatening a vast and lucrative power structure that has enriched people willing to promote leftist goals. <em>The Left is its own industry.</em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This is why we are being ceaselessly attacked and vilified in the press as dangerous, right-wing extremists. The Left recognizes us as a mortal threat to their interests, and in the past their tactics have been very effective in silencing critics.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>But there is a difference this time. Instead of singling out one person or a small group – easy targets for the leftist machine, they are attempting to marginalize <em>the entire population of mainstream America!</em> They are the extremists, and we all know it. But the unfortunate fact is that as long as the Left controls the message their intimidation methods can be effective anyway.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>There are still many people unaware of what is happening in America, people who are willing to be influenced by the mass media’s carefully crafted propaganda. But the media’s message is a threat to <em>everyone</em>: identifying with the Liberty movement means you are <em>odd. </em>You are an <em>extremist</em>. <em>You are the enemy!</em> And what does a society do with extremists? Monitor them? Arrest them? At best, it <em>marginalizes</em> them. For many people, especially those who are either insecure or not fully cognizant of the danger we face as a nation, these threats will easily defeat reason, because they are implicit threats against both one’s life and <em>place in society.</em></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The Left will continue to do all it can to marginalize, intimidate and discourage us from our task. And these attacks, now apparently </strong><a href="http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=36541"><strong>including physical attacks</strong></a><strong>, will increase. There are a number of things all Patriots should do to inoculate themselves from these pressures:</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<ol>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Join a Tea Party, or conservative political club of your choice. Become a formal part of a party organization.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Maintain regular contact with like-minded individuals, hang out together regularly and join in movement activities suggested in this pamphlet <em>as a group</em>.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><em>Read, read, read</em>. Educate yourself on the issues to build confidence, help inform others and reinforce your commitment.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Remember that <em>we surround them</em>. They are a loud but small minority. They can only win if we let them.</strong></div>
</li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>This little pamphlet was written to assist us in our fight, for our greatest weapon is information. With information, we can discover the enemy’s weak points. With information, we can deflect his strategies, and turn them against him. With information, we can educate others to join our cause. With information, we can overcome the mountain of misinformation produced by the Left’s media propagandists.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>With information we can win.</strong></div>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
What You Can Do Right Now to Save Your Country</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Get off the sidelines. Jump in and participate. Fully acknowledge to yourself that this is a battle for the heart, soul and future of our Nation. Accept the lesson Americans of countless past generations have taught: if you want to get something dodne, you have to do it yourself. <em>Commit to taking action</em>.</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>I. First Things First</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>Electing the right people this coming November is a critical first step to restoring our liberty. It is up to you as a citizen to play what part you can in every election – local, state and national. Without conservative majorities across the land and especially in the U.S. Congress <em>next year</em>, eventual victory may be out of reach. <em>Here are twenty ways you can get involved:</em></strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>1. Support conservative candidates at all levels. It is critically important to rebuild a conservative majority from the ground up. There are many local and state offices: town council, county board, sheriff, state assembly, state senate, and a host of other elected positions crying for principled, conservative leadership.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>2. Understand the essential role of the local party committee/precinct.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<em><strong>Read:</strong></em></div>
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.eagleforum.org/misc/brochures/precinct-committman.shtml"><strong>The Most Powerful Office in the World IS NOT the President of the United States</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Visit </strong><a href="http://www.precinctsolution.org/"><strong>Precinct Solution.org</strong></a><strong> for a concise and easy-to-follow explanation.</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>3. Join your Party’s formal structure. Attend local Party central committee meetings and become involved. Run or be appointed to a seat on the committee.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>4. Help build your precinct: visit, call, e-mail; many areas have no political infrastructure. Focus your efforts: build out from targeted voter lists. Get the list from your local party or registrar of voters. Focus on getting registered voters energized first.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>5. Volunteer to become a precinct/block captain. These are challenging jobs but critical to identifying and motivating voters. Block captains are almost always in short supply.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>6. Volunteer to be an election judge or poll watcher. Conservatives frequently leave this job to others, with predictable results. Vote fraud is an increasing problem, with much of the leftist infrastructure getting behind the effort. George Soros has even funded something called the </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7487"><strong>Secretary of State project</strong></a><strong>, designed to elect leftists to oversee each state’s vote count.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>7. Run for political office. If you feel you can make a contribution this way, consider running. The country needs you, <em>now!</em></strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<em><strong>Useful websites:</strong></em></div>
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>The </strong><a href="http://www.thegreenpapers.com/"><strong>Green Papers blog</strong></a><strong> provides access to comprehensive election information by state.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.fec.gov/"><strong>Federal Election Commission</strong></a><strong> provides campaign law, </strong><a href="http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2010/2010pdates.pdf"><strong>filing dates by state</strong></a><strong> and other useful information.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Your state’s Party organizations provide detailed information about each political subdivision within the state, down to the precinct level.</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>8. Learn to use social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instant Messaging to help promote candidates and the conservative message. Communication is key and these tools greatly facilitate spreading the message.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>Get two great <em>free</em> tutorials to learn how: </strong><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/3pidoahax8"><strong>Facebook PDF Guide</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="http://www.box.net/shared/17135iyazz"><strong>Twitter PDF Guide</strong></a><strong>, from </strong><a href="http://americanmajority.org/"><strong>American Majority.org</strong></a><strong>.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>9. Volunteer to maintain Facebook/Twitter site for candidates.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>10. Use personal e-mail accounts to promote candidates and spread the conservative message.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>11. Volunteer for candidate sign waving – believe it or not, this simple activity does more for candidate name recognition than many other activities.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>12. Volunteer to canvas for candidates.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>13. Attend candidate fundraisers.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>14. Volunteer for phone banks or just to make calls. With modern technology, you can now call from your home or car. There is often no longer a need to actually go to a phone bank.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>15. Get certified from your local Board of Elections to register voters. This is usually an easy step, involving a short trip to the Board of Elections office and swearing in.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>16. Volunteer for door knocking.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>17. Put up yard/street signs. Use and distribute candidate bumper stickers.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>18. Join a political campaign. If you feel strongly about a particular candidate, focus your efforts and volunteer to work to get him/her elected.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>19. 72 hour push – Last three days before November elections, volunteer for any activity to help get out the vote for your candidates.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>20. On election day, work outside polls with signs, sample ballots and pamphlets, <em>if state campaign law allows</em>.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>II. Build Strength in Numbers and Unity</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>In everything you do, there is <em>strength in numbers</em>. Keep it in the forefront of your mind that you are not alone, that you are part of a <em>nationwide movement</em> to save America.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>You will be hearing this a lot: <em>strength in numbers</em>. Organize, organize, organize. </strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>Try to do everything as a group. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Any action you take is multiplied in effect when you do it as a group. There is synergy in collective action. Everyone in the group gets a morale boost by being a part of something rather than merely a lone voice in the wilderness. You can also accomplish more: tasks can be delegated to those best suited for them, lessening the time and resource demands on each individual.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>On the other hand, one person alone making calls to Congress, writing letters or indeed, taking on some of the tasks suggested in this handbook will quickly become overwhelmed, exhausted and discouraged. Furthermore, the voice of an individual, unless a uniquely influential individual like Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh for example, is largely ineffectual and quickly gets lost in the din and roar of all the others.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>So suit up and join up. We have to hang together or we will certainly hang separately.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>You should begin to meet regularly with a circle of like-minded friends. Join a Tea Party, conservative or other patriotic organization in your area. Attend as many Tea Party rallies/events as you can. </strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>

<strong>III. Familiarize Yourself with the Tactics of the Radical Left</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>The radical Left seeks to undermine this country and destroy its institutions. As they have no legitimate claim to power, their only real tactics are deception, the smear and outright confrontation. They use lies and misinformation to confuse and mislead. They use the smear to discredit and marginalize opponents. When all else fails, they use street thugs. In everything they do, the intent is to intimidate, polarize and destroy their opponents – Saul Alinsky’s most successful tactic.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>In confronting this ugly truth, remember once again, <em>strength in numbers</em>. Their intimidation tactics can work against individuals but not a united front. We are America. It is <em>our </em>cause that has the moral authority. Think of our family, our children and their future – think of the great gift we have been given simply by being born Americans. We have something they never will: <em>a cause worth fighting for!</em> So fight smart:</strong></div>

<strong>5. Write and call local print and broadcast media. This is important. The media is largely responsible for the ascendancy of the Left.

<strong>The Left uses our taxes, our donations, our corporations and even our investments </strong><a href="http://gulagbound.com/patriots-handbook/#_msocom_3"><strong>[JKW3]</strong></a><strong> to promote its anti-American agenda. They produce little of value without our unwitting assistance. We have the power in our hands to defang the Left. One last time: we have <em>strength in numbers</em>. Conservatives compose the majority of the American people. Let’s use our overwhelming power in coordinated action to de-fund their movement with <em>12 Steps to Freedom</em>:</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>1. Spotlight the Radicals</em> Utilize David Horowitz’s wide-ranging online tool, </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/"><strong>Discover the Networks</strong></a><strong> to research and identify radical </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewGroups.asp"><strong>organizations</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?type=funder"><strong>funders</strong></a><strong> and </strong><a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individual.asp"><strong>individuals</strong></a><strong> in politics, non-profits, corporations, finance and the entertainment industry.</strong></div>
<em></em><br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>2. Lobby Congress to De-Fund the Left</em> Many radical leftist organizations, like National Council of La Raza, the Council on American Islamic Relations, ACORN and the ACLU, receive government grants and appropriations to pursue their radical, destructive activities. Go online and see what ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis said to the Young Democratic Socialists in a </strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH4PYYev1u0"><strong>short online video</strong></a><strong> to see how she views America. Grassroots conservatives should work with sympathetic members of Congress and state legislators to repeal statutes granting tax dollars to these groups.<em> </em></strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em></em></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>3. Boycott Leftist Media</em> National news media serves as the rhetorical sword and shield of the Left, while many TV shows and movie channels subtly, and sometimes not so subtly, promote the leftist message. But they all rely on advertising and/or subscription revenue to survive. Here are very simple steps that you can do from home:</strong></div>
<ul style="padding-left: 30px;">
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Discontinue subscriptions to newspapers and magazines with a leftist slant.</strong></div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Cease unnecessary patronage of network and cable television stations that show leftwing bias. <em>Stop watching them</em>.</strong></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>4. Counter Biased Reporting with Phone Calls and Letters</em> Most TV, radio and print media have an ombudsman. Demand their reporting be based on fact and clear thoughts. Ask them to abide by their own ethical standards, requiring reporters to be fair, accurate and unbiased.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>See codes of ethics for the </strong><a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/teachers/lessonplans/media/mediaethics_handout4.pdf"><strong>Washington Post</strong></a><strong>, or the </strong><a href="http://judicial-discipline-reform.org/6TextAuthorities%20Cited%20toeC71/J%20Prof%20respon%20lawyrs%20journlis/18NYTimes%20on%20Integrity%20sep4.pdf"><strong>New York Times</strong></a><strong>, for example. Their standards are in black and white. Do they abide by them?</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>5. Boycott Hollywood</em> The movie industry is controlled by leftists. They have created a blacklist against non-leftist actors that dwarfs the anti-communist blacklist of the 1950s, virtually shutting out any message except that of the radical left. Read movie reviews and avoid movies that promote leftist propaganda or send a culturally destructive message. They rely completely on our entertainment dollars. <em>Cut ‘em off!</em> Go bowling instead, or take your kids to miniature golf! <em>Support your local small businesses</em>. They are more likely to be conservative, too.</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>6. Protect Our Children from the Leftist Message</em> The Left has also introduced toxic messages to our children through their control of the media. Review both movies and TV shows for leftist and/or culturally degenerate messages. Spend more time with your kids instead!</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong><em>7. Stop Donating to Leftist Charities </em> Many think tanks, foundations and charities are controlled by radicals and promote the radical leftist cause. Quit sending them money! Even familiar groups like the Red Cross and United Way fund radical causes. They also use disastrous events like 9-11, the Indonesian Tsunami and the Haitian earthquake as an excuse to raise funds for ongoing activities. </strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>Some will use it for nefarious purposes. For example, the money you kind-heartedly donated to the United Way 9-11 fund to assist victims families could have gone to </strong><a href="http://www.thefreelibrary.com/United+Way+Funding+Terrorists?-a082010563"><strong>pay legal fees for terrorism suspects</strong></a><strong>. If you intend to donate funds for victims of some tragedy, check to be sure your money is earmarked for that purpose. In many cases, it isn’t. Carefully vet all organizations you intend to donate funds to:</strong></div>

<strong><em>8. Be a Friend of the Earth – De-fund the Environmental Movement</em> Most mainstream environmental groups do not support American free enterprise.

For example, Defenders of Wildlife opposes the Global War on Terror, and along with the Audubon Society and Sierra Club, has sued the government to prevent construction of the border fence.</strong></div>

<strong>VI. Reinforce Your Understanding of Constitutional Principles</strong></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px; text-align: center;">
<strong>Conservatives can win countless elections, but unless and until our culture and society return to a full understanding and acceptance of fundamental Constitutional concepts, like limited government, separation of powers, individual rights and responsibilities, we will face this crisis over and over again.</strong></div>

Conclusion</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>We hope this handbook has given you some ideas and pointers that will prove useful in the battle to take back our country. The battle has been joined. As we engage in this battle, let’s be absolutely clear on one thing: this is not a battle of Republican versus Democrat, though many of the players adopt those Party uniforms. </strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>It is not a battle of Conservative versus Liberal, though many of the players identify themselves with those titles. It is not even a battle of Right versus Left, though we speak of it in those terms. It is really a battle of <em>right</em> versus <em>wrong</em>, of good versus evil, of liberty versus tyranny. It is the conflict for our time, and we must prevail, for we are the world’s last hope. And we will prevail, for we are Americans.</strong></div>

Instead of commanding firing squads, they play mind games of manipulative illusions, in which the demonization of dissent plays a crucial role.

<span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Until a time when political opposition can be eliminated completely, having opponents can still be useful: you can steal their ideas, take advantage of their desire to help the economy, and blame them for any of your own failures.

<span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Maintain the perception of being constantly under attack. Don't examine the opponents' beliefs, nor answer their arguments. Discredit any media channels that offer them a platform. Enforce the following media template: the opposition is evil, treasonous, unfathomable, and psychotic. They can't be reasoned with. They are inspired by fascism and financed by a conspiracy of shady oligarchs. Defame their donors. Whatever the mischief you're planning to pull off, accuse them of doing it first; then proceed as planned, describing your actions as a necessary intervention. And ridicule, ridicule, ridicule!</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>This is what made it easy for Stalin to purge his opponents: by the time he charged them with treason, the orchestrated media coverage had already made them universally hated. Having purged all of his enemies, Stalin continued to manufacture the evidence of their presence. There came a time when even the true believers were being rounded up and forced to confess publicly about one or another fabricated "crime" against the people and the Party. Some did it to avoid torture, some to save their families, and some even cooperated out of the altruistic desire to support the illusion and keep everyone else's beautiful dream alive. Unfortunately for them, that beautiful dream required human sacrifice.</strong></span></span></div>

<div class="article_body" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>At the same time, Stalin used the only remaining high-ranking Jew in his government, </strong></span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazar_Kaganovich"><span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Lazar Kaganovich</strong></span></span></a><span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>, as a perpetual scapegoat. Himself a ruthless henchman who organized a number of purges, Kaganovich ended up serving in the capacity of an unpunishable bumbling idiot, a "token Jew," and a darkly comic relief. Implicitly blamed for one government blunder after another, this Joe Biden of Stalin's regime was moved from ministry to ministry only to be blamed again and reassigned to yet another top-level position. As expected, the people's reaction was a universal loathing and bewilderment: how can Comrade Stalin be so soft and trusting of this evil Jew? Kaganovich outlived them all; he died in 1991, among friends and family, at the age of 97.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: times new roman, times;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Across the ocean, years later, the same rules still apply. The perception of a relentless struggle with the opposition must be permanent and persuasive. Even in the times of calm and prosperity the people must think that the opposition is holding them hostage and only the firm, wise guidance of the People's Leader is saving them from imminent ruin. When the opponents are too few, too weak, and too disoriented to put up a real fight, their power and influence must be exaggerated.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>This makes Heinlein's scenario of a free-market revolution highly unlikely. No self-respecting oppressive regime would start a crackdown on the rebels without priming the population with a mass-media campaign that would show how big government benefits most of the people, and how the resistance is destroying the lives of the common folk. As a minimum, the government would parade a poor little girl crying on camera because she and her family suffered from the hands of the rebels. Even those who didn't hate the rebels before would hate them now.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>In a society shaped by the government's mind games of manipulative illusions, a dissenter sticks out like a sore thumb. Once the resistance has been demonized, its members will be quickly identified and denounced by the compliant citizenry, labeled as the enemy, and be dealt with by law enforcement.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>In the end, the self-preservation of modern-day totalitarianism is ensured, not so much by the secret police with its army of snitches and brutal enforcers, as by modern technologies of psychological manipulation through the media, education, and entertainment.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>Perhaps, Heinlein's tyrannical regime came off so hapless because the author had had no experience of living in a totalitarian statist system. Writing <em>The Moon</em> in the early 1960s, he likely modeled the actions of the Lunar Authority on the methods used by the U.S. government against the Communists. And, as we now know, the U.S. government failed that mission, just like the Lunar Authority did in Heinlein's novel.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>The United States at the time didn't have an all-encompassing, totalitarian propaganda machine like its enemies did. State-enforced mind control, by definition, is incompatible with the principles of living in a free world. Statists, on the other hand, have no such limitations; playing mind games for them is a way of life. This makes it asymmetrical warfare.</strong></span></span></div>

<div class="article_body" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>Statists, of course, would like to have everything shared -- except their power. In free democracies they always demand their share of political power -- and always get what they want. However, once they are in power, they keep it to themselves and demonize the opposition.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>The Marxist ideal of Communism is an altruistic collectivist society of the future, in which there will be no need for government, family, or private property. Freed from capitalist exploitation, people are expected to unleash their full potential and create unprecedented material abundance. The selfish notion of the pursuit of individual happiness will wither away. There will be no money, no greed, no deprivation, and, therefore, no crime.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>However, since a society can't directly leap from capitalism into communism, Marx reasoned that a dictatorial socialist state would be a necessary transition in order to develop the required material base, help to spread the revolution around the world, and to condition the people's minds by uprooting greed and selfishness (or to eliminate those individuals who can't be conditioned).</strong></span></span></div>
<div class="article_body" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>Leaving the debunking of utopian follies for another time, let's just say that the totalitarian socialist state is where they always get bogged down. Despite their ideal of a stateless future, the leftists invariably become ruthless and uncompromising statists. It no longer matters whether it's a doctrinaire Marxist socialism or "corporate" fascism; if the end result is evil, original intentions don't count.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>In Russia, the communists used to demonize their opponents long before the Revolution, which made it easier for them to physically eliminate the opposition later.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>The demonization of the kulaks laid the groundwork for their subsequent annihilation. Facing a peasant rebellion, Lenin sent the following telegram to his henchmen: "Hang publicly (in full view of the people) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers. Make their names public. Take away all their grain. Make a list of the next group of hostages. Do it in such a fashion that for hundreds of miles around the people might see, tremble, realize, and scream: 'they are strangling, and will strangle to death, the bloodsucking kulaks'."</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,times;"><strong>Other non-compliant citizens were dealt with in a similar fashion. "Statements from the few survivors, published in émigré newspapers the following year, describe Sevastopol, one of the towns that suffered most heavily under the repressions, as 'the city of the hanged.' 'From Nakhimovsky, all one could see was the hanging bodies of officers, soldiers, and civilians arrested in the streets. The town was dead, and the only people left alive were hiding in lofts or basements. All the walls, shop fronts, and telegraph poles were covered with posters calling for 'Death to the traitors.'

<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">To all my friends, particularly those conservatives who are despondent over the searing betrayal by Chief Justice John Roberts and the pending demise of our beloved country, I offer this perspective to convey some profound hope and evidence of the Almighty’s hand in the affairs of men in relation to the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I initially thought we had cause for despondency when I only heard the results of the decision and not the reason or the make-up of the sides. I have now read a large portion of the decision and I believe that it was precisely the result that Scalia, Alito, Thomas, Roberts and even Kennedy wanted and not a defeat for conservatism or the rule of law. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">I believe the conservatives on the court have run circles around the liberals and demonstrated that the libs are patently unqualified to be on the Supreme Court.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> Let me explain.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">First let me assure you that John Roberts is a conservative and he is not dumb, mentally unstable, diabolical, a turncoat, a Souter or even just trying to be too nice. He is a genius along with the members of the Court in the dissent. The more of the decision I read the more remarkable it became. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">It is not obvious and it requires a passable understanding of Constitutional law but if it is explained anyone can see the beauty of it.The decision was going to be a 5–4 decision no matter what, so the allegation that the decision was a partisan political decision was going to be made by the losing side and their supporters.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> If the bill was struck down completely with Roberts on the other side there would have been a national and media backlash against conservatives and probably strong motivation for Obama supporters to come out and vote in November. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">With today’s decision that dynamic is reversed and there is a groundswell of support for Romney and Republicans, even for people who were formerly lukewarm toward Romney before today, additionally Romney raised more than 4 million dollars today.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Next, merely striking the law without the support of Democrats and libs would have left the fight over the commerce clause and the “necessary and proper” clause and the federal government’s role in general festering and heading the wrong way as it has since 1942. </strong></span></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>As a result of the decision the libs are saying great things about Roberts; how wise, fair and reasonable he is</strong><strong>. </strong></span></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">They would never have said that without this decision even after the Arizona immigration decision on Monday. In the future when Roberts rules conservatively it will be harder for the left and the media to complain about the Robert’s Court’s fairness. That’s why he as Chief Justice went to the other side for this decision not Scalia, Alito, Thomas or Kennedy, all of whom I believe would have been willing to do it.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Next let’s look at the decision itself. Thankfully Roberts got to write it as Chief Justice and it is a masterpiece. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">(<u><span style="background-color: blue; color: yellow;">As I write this the libs don’t even know what has happened; they just think Roberts is great and that they won and we are all going to have free, unlimited healthcare services and we are all going to live happily ever after</span></u>.)</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">He first emphatically states that <u><span style="color: red;">Obamacare is unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause </span></u>saying you cannot make people buy stuff. Then he emphatically states that it is <u><span style="color: red;">unconstitutional under the “necessary and proper” clause which only applies to “enumerated powers” in the US Constitution.</span></u> Justices Ginsberg, Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan all went along with these statements. <u><span style="color: #660000;">They never would have gone along with that sentiment if that was the basis for striking the law in total.</span></u> </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u><span style="background-color: yellow; color: purple;">This is huge because this means that the Court ruled 9-0 that Obamacare was unconstitutional under the Commerce clause which was Obama’s whole defense of the bill. They also ruled 9–0 on the “necessary and proper” clause. Even better, both of these rulings were unnecessary to the decision so it is gravy that we got the libs to concede this and it will make it easier to pare away at both theories in the future, which we must do.</span></u> </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Well done.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Roberts, through very tortured reasoning, goes on to find that the taxing law provides the Constitutionality for the law. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Virtually everyone agrees that the Federal government has the power to do this as it does with the mortgage deduction for federal income taxes. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u><span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">This too is huge because Obama assiduously avoided using the term “tax” and now he has to admit this law is a tax and it is on everyone, even the poor.</span></u> </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">That will hurt him hugely in the polls and will help Romney. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">More importantly though is the fact that this makes this a budgetary issue that can be voted on in the Senate by a mere majority instead of 60 votes needed to stop a filibuster. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><u>That means that if the Republicans can gain a majority in the Senate, it can vote to repeal Obamacare in total.</u></span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Finally the Court voted 7–2 to strike down the punitive rules that take away money from states that do not expand Medicare as required in Obamacare. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">This too is huge because we got Kagan and Breyer to join this decision and it can easily be applied to many other cases of extortion the Federal government uses to force states to do things they don’t want to.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> This is also amazing because Obamacare has no severability clause so by striking the Medicaid mandate portion as unconstitutional the whole bill should have been struck. </span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">If that happened none of these other benefits would have been accomplished. I haven’t read far enough to know how he did it but I am sure it is brilliant.</span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><u>So to recap the Roberts court through a brilliant tactical maneuver has: strengthened the limitations of the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause by a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">unanimous</span> decision, made Obama raise taxes on the poor and middle classes, converted Obamacare into a tax program repealable with 51 votes in the Senate, enhanced Romney’s and Republican’s fundraising and likelihood of being elected in November, weakened federal extortion and got the left to love Roberts and sing his praises all without anyone even noticing. Even Obama is now espousing the rule of law just 2 weeks after violating it with his deportation executive order.</u></span></strong></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="entry-content" style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">That is why I have decided this was a genius decision and that I did in fact get a great birthday present today not to mention U. S. Attorney General Eric Holder being held in contempt. What a day.</span></strong></div>

Woodbridge was supportive of Campus Crusade in its earliest days but
had to withdraw his support and begin sounding a Scriptural warning
because of the wrong path this organization has taken.]</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Basing
my judgment upon the plain teaching of the Bible, I regard these "Laws"
as a totally inadequate, indeed an emasculated and misleading
presentation of the blessed Gospel of the Son of God.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">If
they had been entitled "Four Pious Principles" instead of "The Four
Spiritual Laws," perhaps I should have little to say by way of rebuttal.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">But
to begin with, the use of the definite article "The" is disturbing. The
implication is that the "Laws," as the Crusade presents them, are
exclusive, definitive and thoroughly adequate. Having discovered and
embraced them, a fortunate seeker is presumably bound for Heaven.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">When
one purports to reduce any subject to four central descriptive items,
logic dictates that he must not eliminate from these items the essential
ingredients of the matter under discussion. When a physician is
prescribing for his patient, he must not remove from his formula
necessary but perhaps disagreeable or unpalatable drugs. No faithful
analyst, when seeking to abbreviate, must relegate to footnotes the
crucial areas of the subject he is publicizing. He must spell out in no
uncertain terms -- whether his readers are impressed favorably or not --
the precise, basic, fundamental, and differentiating character of his
proposition.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">I believe that Campus
Crusade has tragically failed to do this. As the result there is every
probability that great numbers of earnest students, whose response to
the "Laws" has seemed to be affirmative, have a false and unwarranted
sense of spiritual security. If my deduction is correct -- and the
evidence would lead me to believe that it is -- this would be a tragedy
of great proportions.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Years ago I
wrote the Director of the Crusade with this in mind. I had the positive,
constructive, but admittedly forlorn hope that I might be able to help
him to extricate his movement from the doctrinal inadequacies in which
"The Four Spiritual Laws" had enmeshed him. I received no reply to my
letter. Years have elapsed since then. I now feel that it is my solemn
duty under God to speak out in defense of the old, well-tested, and
thoroughly proved ways.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">First, let
us examine the "Laws" as a whole, always bearing in mind by way of
contrast the glory and wonder of the Biblical Gospel of Grace.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">In
each of the four "Laws" mention is made of the Divine plan for a
person's life. The story is as follows: God has a wonderful plan for a
man's life; because of man's adverse spiritual condition he cannot know
that plan for his life; when the proper steps are taken he can know the
plan for his life.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This is not the
way in which the Gospel is proclaimed in the Bible. The Crusade's
approach is anthropocentric ("man-centered"). It implies that the summum
bonum, the pivotal issue, is that an individual may know God's
wonderful plan for his life.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The
Biblical approach is theocentric ("God-centered"). The writers first
laid the background of the being and attributes of God, sublime in His
sovereignty, ineffable in His majesty and holiness. They quickly
stressed the blazing fact that the righteousness of God has been
outraged by human sin and that apart from Divine, unmerited grace, man's
deadly guilt (Romans 3:19) will bring upon him the wrath of God (Romans
1:18), the deserved judgment of the Lord (Romans 2:2), and ensuing
death (Romans 6:23). The amazing be-all and end-all of the Gospel,
according to the Bible, is not what man may or may not know about the
Divine plan for his life; but it is the everlasting glory of the living
God.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">How different all this is from
the "Four Spiritual Laws." The hell- deserving sinner has far more to
reflect upon, prior to his salvation, than the optimistic confidence
that somewhere in the dim blue "yonder" God has a satisfying plan for
his life!</span><br /><br /><u style="color: red;">LAW NUMBER ONE</u><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">But
now to "Law One" itself: "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for
your life." Then two footnotes: John 3:16 and John 10:10. (Is it not
astounding that John 3:16 could possibly be in anybody's footnote!)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">A few reflections concerning this first "Law."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">First,
the booklet announcing these "Laws" is used indiscriminately with
believers and unbelievers. May I ask a rather obvious question?
Precisely what "wonderful plan" does God have for the unbelieving sinner
who steadfastly and persistently rejects Christ Jesus as Saviour?
Answer: the "lake that burneth with fire."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This is an awesome, rather than a "wonderful," prospect.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Second,
is not the Crusade aware of the fact that even a pious Mohammedan might
believe that the compassionate God might have a plan for his life?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This being true, the Crusade is left with only three distinctively Christian "Laws."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Third,
who is the "God" to whom the Crusade refers in Law One? When the
apostles wrote of Him, it was against a religious background of
understanding -- their Hebrew readers knew Who God is. But when Paul
spoke to Gentiles on the Areopagus (Acts 17), he explained Who the
Almighty is.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The Crusade must not
take it for granted that this confused, untaught generation of college
students knows Who the Lord God is. At the very outset of the "Laws" it
should be made clear Who the One is with Whom the students have to do.
He is the Holy, Sovereign, Omnipotent Creator of the universe.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This
observation on my part is not a vague fancy. I heard one of the
Crusade's bright and shining lights, a university football star, give
his public testimony. He referred to the God of the ages as "the man
upstairs." Some may regard this as justified puerility [immaturity]. I
regard it as blasphemy. I happened to be the other speaker that evening.
Before I addressed the crowd, I turned to the student and told him
bluntly that before he witness to others he should be sure that he
himself had been washed in the blood of the Lamb of God and that he
really knew the living and true God.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">I
do not imply for a moment that the Crusade leaders should give all
their hearers a course in systematic theology. But I insist that when
men and women handle the things of God they must make clear Who He is,
the ineffable [too overpowering to be expressed in words!] Lord of
Glory.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">A defender of the Crusade
might reply: "'The Four Spiritual Laws' are just a summary of truth. The
personal workers fill in the gaps." To this explanation my answer is
twofold.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">First, when one is reducing
any subject to four basic points, it is the height of folly to omit
crucial matters with the trivial explanation that assistants will
subsequently explain them. For example, if one is summarizing the theme
"Aviation," he will not omit the fact that airplanes have wings and a
motor, in the confident expectation that the learner will have these
addenda elucidated by assistants after his effort to take off from the
earth!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Second, if the Crusade
assistants do in fact try to explain Who God is, they seem to fail
dismally. Else why the shallowness and flippancy in the "testimonies" of
so many of their "converts"?</span><br /><br /><u style="color: red;">THE SECOND LAW</u><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">And now the Crusade's second "Spiritual Law": "Man is sinful and separated from God."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">So far so good. I commend the Crusade for putting the matter so plainly.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">But
Bible believers, taught in the Word of God, might well expect the "Law"
to be expanded so as to include its inevitable corollaries.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">What
are these Biblical corollaries? In a footnote Romans 3:23 and 6:23 are
quoted. An explanatory note indicates that the sinner goes his own
independent way and fellowship with God is broken; evidence of sin is an
"attitude" of active rebellion or of passive indifference.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">But
no uninformed college student, meditating upon this second "Law," could
possibly understand that sin is far more than an attitude of
independence or rebellion. God has given to sinful man His Holy Law,
which reflects His perfect nature and sovereign will. Sin is an open,
flagrant breach of that Law or a stubborn refusal to obey it. Apart from
the Law of God sin cannot possibly be understood. It is far worse than
an "attitude" or a going on one's own "independent way." It is primarily
a heart condition, but it is also an act wrought in defiance of the
will of God.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">What are the
consequences of this heart condition and defiance? The second "Law"
states that the sinner is "separated" from God and is out of fellowship
with Him. The Bible is far more detailed and explicit. It tells the
sinner in no uncertain terms precisely what the separation and loss of
fellowship involve. The consequences of willful disobedience are
horrible indeed. The Bible speaks of "hell." It reminds us of the "lake
of fire" (Rev. 20:15). It suggests the endless, conscious torment of
Christ- rejecting sinners. This is the dreadful doom of unbelievers. And
it is from this that believers are saved by grace.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">For
all this the Crusade substitutes in its second "Law," apart from a
modest footnote quoting Romans 6:23, the dismal consequence that as the
result of the sinner's separation from God "he cannot know and
experience God's love and plan for his life!"</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The
trouble with this statement is that it is not only weak and anti-
climactic, but it is also falsely oriented and misleading. It breeds a
naive and unwarranted optimism.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">In
the first place it is, as in the case of the first "Law," man-centered
and thus out of line with the total revelation of God. The paramount
result of sin and separation appears to be the unfortunate inconvenience
that the sinner has lost the sense of God's love and plan for his life!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Secondly,
the "Law" omits what the Bible never omits -- the eternal, unmitigated,
drastic consequences of sin and separation. How can a person possibly
know what it is to be saved unless he is made aware of that from which
he is saved? Why not follow the Biblical pattern and tell the whole
truth?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Once more the Crusade's
rejoinder might be: "We are simply giving a readily understandable
summary of truth. We have not space within the confines of the second
'Law' to tell the whole truth." But frankly, can even a "summary" of the
Gospel which is worthy to be used as a basis of witnessing to college
students possibly eliminate a clear presentation of the actual
consequences of sin?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Thirdly -- and
this is simply an observation -- the separated sinner who persists in
rejecting the proffered love of God will certainly know the Divine plan
for his life! That plan is the "Judgment of the great white throne" and
"the lake that burneth with fire"!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Am
I unduly critical? Is this merely a conflict between two relatively
similar concepts? Is the Crusade's view simply an exposition of the
thoughts of a newer, perhaps more enlightened, generation? Let me assure
my readers that nothing could be farther from the truth.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">One
of the leading Crusade writers has let the cat out of the bag. The
Crusade, to put it bluntly, does not like the idea of "hell," so far as
their witness is concerned. The writer in question has carefully
explained that in testifying to college students. Crusaders "for 'hell'
should substitute 'eternal separation from God.'"</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Please
do not think that I am quibbling about unimportant ideas. Have you
recently studied Romans or Hebrews or Revelation? May I mildly inquire
by what authority the Crusade spokesman chooses what words of the Bible
he desires to eliminate? And lest any of my readers are still doubtful
about the validity of my argument, may I remind them that the same
writer has the audacity to declare -- and I cannot but wonder why a
multitude of old-fashioned Bible believers do not arise in holy protest
-- that for the word "saved" "we substitute ... (in the beginning at
least) 'entering into a personal relationship with Christ.'"</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Thus
the terrors of Divine wrath are neatly minimized and, probably from the
poor student who simply wants a plan for his life, eliminated! The
totality of truth is abbreviated, not actually because the "Laws" are a
mere "summary," but because the Crusade has taken it upon itself to
abbreviate it!</span><br /><br /><u><span style="color: #000099;">THE THIRD LAW</span></u><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The
Crusade's third "Law" really troubles me. It does indeed state that
Christ is "God's only provision for sin." Splendid! It quotes verses in
footnotes (of all places) which indicate that Christ died in our place,
that He is the only way to the Father, and that He bridged the chasm
between the sinner and God.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">But the difficulty is that the "Law" does not tell us Who Jesus Christ is.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">College students on the whole have only a glimmering of truth in this area.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Coming,
as most of them do, from modernist churches or godless cultures, they
do not know that Jesus Christ is God, the everlasting Son of the Father,
Who existed from eternity in the bosom of the Father, and Who for the
sins of a rebellious race became incarnate and suffered, bled, and died
for the remission of our sins.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Moreover,
the third "Law" makes no mention of the incarnation, the vicarious
blood atonement, the resurrection of the eternal Son "for our
justification" (Rom. 4:25). Thus it does not really explain what it
means by "God's only provision."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This
is not the apostolic mode of presentation. "Without the shedding of
blood is no remission" (Heb. 9:22). "The blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin" (I John 1:7). Such verses as these make the
matter plain. Any "Law" which may make passing, appeasing references to
related verses but which fails to disclose the identity of our blessed
Lord or to mention His out-poured blood for sinners does not remotely
resemble the Gospel preaching of the apostles. Is Campus Crusade trying
to avoid "the offense of the cross"? It appears to be doing exactly
that.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">And, according to the third
"Law," what is the net result of Christ's being "God's only provision
for man's sin"? Is it a paean of praise from worshiping hosts of angels
around the throne? Is it the eternal adoration of believers in glory
because the God-man's work of redemption has been consummated on behalf
of lost sinners? Is it antiphonal echoes of wonder resounding through
the corridors of Heaven?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The third
"Law" gives the answer: "Through Him you can know God's love and plan
for your life"! Words fail me. How incomplete and man-centered can a
movement be?</span><br /><br /><u><span style="color: #000099;">THE FOURTH LAW</span></u><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">And
now the fourth "Law": "We must receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord
by personal invitation; then we can know and experience God's love and
plan for our lives."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">This "Law"
might be regarded as helpful if "Law" Three had explained precisely Who
Christ is, how He saved sinners, and what it means for one to call Him
Saviour and risen Lord. But the third "Law" has left a great vacuum. No
wonder college Crusaders seem to be so uninformed. May I show what I
mean?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">In the Crusade's Collegiate
Challenge (Vol. 6, No. 2) we read: "Val talked with a girl who wasn't
very interested, but as she listened to the Four Spiritual Laws, she
decided to invite Christ into her life. Then she told her girl friend
who had also received Christ. 'Our week had been so dull, but what a
change.' Her friend replied, 'Yeah, now we're in the in-group.'"</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Some
sentimental, uninstructed soul might breathe a sympathetic sigh and
remark, "Isn't that sweet?" But I should like to ask every truly
informed reader a pointed question: "Does this sound to you like genuine
Biblical conversion on the basis of Christ's atoning work and through
the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit of the living God?" Of course
it does not. And why should it?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">In a
sheet prepared by Campus Crusade entitled "How to Prepare a Personal
Testimony," their workers are told: "Don't use ... words such as
'saved,' 'convicted,' 'converted,' 'born again,' and 'sin.'" These words
may be precious to the Crusaders, it is intimated, but "they do not
communicate truth to the average non-Christian."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">If
this dogmatic thesis were true -- and praise the Lord it is not -- how
in the world have faithful evangelists through the years, men of God who
used these blessed words in the energy of the Holy Spirit, been so
marvelously instrumental in bringing precious souls to Christ? Further,
is it not true that the Holy Spirit has blessed the use of these very
words in the proclamation of the Gospel to sinners? Was Nicodemus a
believer when our Lord told him that he had to be "born again"? Were the
people surrounding Simon Peter believers when he warned them: "Repent
... and be converted" (Acts 3:19)?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">How
dare any movement that calls itself "Christian" toss aside lightly the
Words of the Omniscient God? Is it to cater to the intellectual or
spiritual immaturity of college students? In my opinion this is what
Campus Crusade is doing, apparently without fear of weighty
contradiction.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">May I be a bit more
analytical? Three verses of Scripture and words of explanation are given
in the footnotes of the fourth "Law." The verses are:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">John
1:12; Eph. 2:8,9; and Rev. 3:20. Of course, we are always delighted to
discover the Word of God, even if it is relegated to footnotes, in any
set of guidelines which have to do with leading souls to the Saviour.
And the words of explanation, if they had a solid foundation, could
conceivably be of genuine help. They read: "We must receive Christ; we
receive Christ through faith; we receive Christ by personal invitation."
It then adds:</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">"Receiving Christ
involves turning to God from self, trusting Christ to come into our
lives, to forgive our sins and to make us to be what He wants us to be."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">All this suggests several questions of supreme importance.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">First,
not having been told in the first three "Laws" either Who Christ is or
how He saved the lost sinner, how can a student really receive the Son
of God intelligently as his Saviour?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Second, the word "Saviour" has been bandied about through the centuries.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">It
is widely misunderstood. It has been given various meanings, some
totally false and others deceitfully close to Biblical truth. It is of
great importance that true witnesses for Christ always make the title
crystal clear.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">The followers of
Albrecht Ritschl, in referring to Christ, might use the word "Saviour."
They would mean that Jesus saves us, by His moral influence upon our
lives, from our base and unworthy motivations.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Mary
Baker Eddy, mother of Christian Science, wrote (Science and Health,
page 39): "Christ wrought a full salvation from sin, sickness and
death." Yet Christian Science is as far removed from orthodox
Christianity as it can possibly be. Behold what Mrs. Eddy actually
means: "His consummate example was for the salvation of us all" (page
51). Is it not plain that, in opposition to this sort of false teaching,
the true Crusader for Christ must explain that the Lord Jesus saved us
from sin by His perfect sacrifice upon Golgatha?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Even
Harry Emerson Fosdick, one of America's leading modernists, did not
hesitate to write of Christ: "He died as he lived, a savior. That his
saviorhood is unique in its scope and impact is obvious, but the
principle of it is not unique. We can all share it" (Dear Mr. Brown,
page 134). You see, Dr. Fosdick, one of the leading unbelievers of the
twentieth century, called Jesus "Savior." And, demonstrating his
infidelity to the Word of God, in the same book (page 136) he speaks of
the substitutionary atonement wrought by our Lord as a "pre-civilized
barbarity."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Cannot the Crusade be
brought to understand that the Saviourhood of the Son of God must be
meticulously explained? Else college students too may speak of Him as
"Saviour" while meaning something altogether different from the truth!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">What
a glorious opportunity is missed in the fourth "Law"! When Christ as He
is depicted in the Scriptures is truly received as Saviour, what vistas
of rapture break upon the redeemed soul! Now the sinner has been born
again into the family of God. Now he has become a joint-heir with the
Son of the Father! Now Heaven, with all its infinity of blessing, has
its gates flung open to welcome him!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">How
does the Crusade's fourth "Law" summarize all this wondrous treasure-
store of delights? Read its words. Ponder them carefully and, perhaps, a
little wistfully. Compare them with the Bible. Understand their
man-centered nature. Now at long last, the "Law" reads: "We can know and
experience God's love and plan for our lives." What an anti-climactic
conclusion!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Why not spell out the
truth of God on the basis of the everlasting Word of God? Why not
explain the "plan" which the converted sinner may know? It far
transcends a student's life choices! It reaches beyond the limits of his
life pilgrimage. It leads to and enters the portals of everlasting
glory!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Why not tell the student this
in no uncertain terms? And why not, in all fairness, warn him that
rejection of the Son of God spells not a vague "separation" from God --
but the eternal miseries of the lake of fire?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #000099;">Let
the student have all the facts before he makes what the Crusade calls a
"commitment."</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

On January 24, 2012, President Obama delivered his latest State of the
Union (SOTU) speech to Congress. It heavily emphasized economic themes,
among which were jobs, manufacturing, trade, the auto industry,
teachers, taxes, Medicare, financial regulation and growing income
inequality in the United States.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Claims were made and general proposals
offered for how to create more jobs and how to get a sluggish US
economic recovery finally going after three years of tepid, stop-and-go
results.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
But many of the president's claims in his SOTU speech, especially with
regard to jobs, were contrary to the facts. And the proposals he
reaffirmed for generating a sustained economic recovery were more of
the same "old wine in new bottles," which hasn't had much impact to
date.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Here are some facts concerning jobs to consider before feeling too
optimistic over what was largely a campaign-oriented, election-year
SOTU speech - a speech more reminiscent of Obama's 2008 "talk the talk"
period than of his 2009-2011 "talk but no walk" record.</b></span></div>

Obama boasted that the US manufacturing sector had turned around and
created millions of jobs on his watch. He subsequently named the need to
further boost manufacturing, and the exports of US-manufactured goods,
as one of his two primary recommendations for doing something about the
23 million people still jobless in the United States. (His other primary
recommendation was more business tax cuts, which I will address in Part
2 of this series.)</b></span></div>

According to the US Labor Department, there were almost 17.3 million
jobs in manufacturing in December 2000. By the start of the recession in
December 2007, there were just under 13.9 million. When Obama took
office in 2009, there were slightly over 13.4 million. As of December
2011, there were about 11.8 million.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Over the past year, from December 2010 through December 2011, there
were over 1.9 million total private sector jobs created. But only
218,000 of those were manufacturing jobs.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> And virtually all of those
manufacturing jobs were created as global trade and exports accelerated
in the first half of 2011. That same global trade began contracting in
the second half of 2011.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
In response to that contraction, in the last three months of 2011, US
manufacturing employment actually fell by 24,000 jobs. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So, tell me how
this picture, and a further promotion of the manufacturing sector, is
going to significantly aid the 23 to 24 million people currently still
jobless in the United States? Even at the early 2011 rate, it would take
100 years to create 20 million additional manufacturing jobs.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
The above numbers represent total manufacturing jobs. How about jobs
for nonsupervisors and nonmanagers in manufacturing? </b></span></div>

<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Since the so-called
official "end" of the recession in June 2009 up through December 2011 -
over a period of two and a half years - a mere 174,000 production

creating jobs. But let's look at the record here, as well. From the
start of the recession in December 2007 through the end of 2010, 315,000
auto jobs were lost. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Over the past year, the industry has hired back at
the rate of only 4,000 a month, or 48,000 of those 315,000 jobs lost.
And let's not forget, the overwhelming number of those hired in the past
year have been hired for temporary status auto industry jobs paid at
around $14 an hour, about half the normal auto worker wage rate.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Yes,
the auto companies are hiring, but at half pay. Not surprisingly, their
profits have recovered - but they have done so by shifting money from
auto workers to auto companies' bottom line.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Okay, friends of the administration may argue, maybe the facts
regarding manufacturing jobs were a bit overblown and exaggerated by the
president. What about the 1.9 million total private jobs created this
past year.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Isn't that significant?"</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Well, 600,000 of those jobs were created in the retail sector in the
last two months of 2011, the holiday season. Most jobs in that sector
are part-time and temporary jobs, many of which will disappear in early
2012. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Another 82,000 jobs went to messengers and couriers, hired by UPS,
FedEx and other shipping companies for the holiday mailing surge. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Those
jobs, too, will quickly disappear in early 2012. In addition,
banking-and-finance sector companies have announced more than 150,000
layoffs scheduled for 2012 - and that's just to start. And the two
biggest job creation sectors of the economy in the first half of 2011 -
business and professional services, and leisure and hospitality - both
reduced jobs in the final two months of 2011 by 264,000 jobs.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Finally, let's not forget the government sector of the economy. While
the private side may have created 1.9 million jobs, 257,000 state, local
government and postal workers lost their jobs in 2011 alone; 106,000 of
them were teachers.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Speaking of teachers: Obama praised the profession for its key role in
the economy and in the development of society, for which, he properly
noted, teachers should be honored and respected. He then proclaimed that
the best teachers should be rewarded with more pay. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Education managers
should be given more flexibility, he advocated, to give more pay to the
best teachers and get rid of the worst. This is his education secretary,
Arne Duncan's, old formula. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>In practice, it means the introduction of
merit pay, which would undermine teachers' union contracts and give
managers more freedom to fire teachers and/or lay them off based not on
seniority, but on administrators' preferences and favoritism - the old
"civil service" approach. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Together with the push toward charter schools,
Obama's policy for education amounts to a destruction of teachers'
union contracts. Charter schools, plus merit pay, plus end of seniority,
plus more freedom to fire means the end of teacher unionism as we know
it.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
In the second half of 2010, Obama reshuffled his staff, repopulating
his team with corporate advisers. Bill Daley became chief of staff.
General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt headed the president's "jobs council."
Scores of corporate underlings were hired behind them. What we
subsequently got, in terms of jobs policy, was a manufacturing sector-
and export trade-centric set of proposals. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Jobs were supposed to come
from stimulating manufacturing and exports, pushing free trade, and
cutting business regulations, as well as from promoting patent
protection for the technology sector and similar pro-business
approaches. Daley-Immelt essentially took over the Obama jobs program.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
More business and investor tax cuts followed, including $802 billion in
further tax reductions in December 2010. Regulations were reduced, as
Obama bragged in his SOTU speech that he cut more regulations than
George W. Bush did in his first term. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Contrary to the president's 2008
campaign promises to restructure "job-killing" free trade agreements,
the Obama-Daley-Immelt team opened a new offensive to pass pending free
trade agreements with Korea, Panama, Columbia and elsewhere. The former
three were adopted in 2011. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>These were promoted as measures to create
manufacturing jobs. However, according to various studies since 1994 by
the Economic Policy Institute, more than 10 million jobs have been LOST
due to free trade. Nevertheless, in his SOTU speech, Obama once again
promoted the corporate line and the false claim that free trade creates
jobs.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
Manufacturing output has risen significantly since mid-2009, as has
manufacturing corporations' revenues and profits, especially the big
multinational players such as Immelt's GE and the auto and high-tech
companies. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>But manufacturing jobs are still 1.6 million short of where
they were in early 2009, and wages of new manufacturing jobs are far
lower than existing wages. A few workers get low paying jobs while
manufacturing companies reap the big benefits of Obama's
manufacturing-export-centric jobs policies. </b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The, "Let's boost
manufacturing-export companies" approach to job creation has been a sham
job-creation program, taken straight out of the economic playbook of
the Daleys and Immelts who have been driving the Obama team jobs program
since late 2010.</b></span></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<br /></div>
<div class="sweet-justice">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> And judging from the comments of President Obama in
his recent SOTU address, corporations will continue to drive the Obama
jobs program - while they simultaneously sit on their $2.5 trillion cash
hoard and refuse to invest in America.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b> “According to the US Labor Department,
there were almost 17.3 million jobs in manufacturing in December 2000.
By the start of the recession in December 2007, there were just under
13.9 million. When Obama took office in 2009, there were slightly over
13.4 million. As of December 2011, there were about 11.8 million.</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>But
only 218,000 of those were manufacturing jobs. And virtually all of

<u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>The TRUTH:</strong></b></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong> </strong>Manufacturing output has risen
significantly since mid-2009, as has manufacturing corporations’
revenues and profits, especially the big multinational players such as
Immelt’s GE and the auto and high-tech companies. <strong> </strong></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><strong>But
manufacturing jobs are still 1.6 million short of where they were in
early 2009, and wages of new manufacturing jobs are far lower than
existing wages.</strong> A few workers get low paying jobs while
manufacturing companies reap the big benefits of Obama’s
manufacturing-export-centric jobs policies.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>According to Rasmus, “The, ‘Let’s boost manufacturing-export
companies’ approach to job creation has been a sham job-creation
program, taken straight out of the economic playbook of the Daleys and
Immelts who have been driving the Obama team jobs program since late
2010. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>And judging from the comments of President Obama in his recent
SOTU address, corporations will continue to drive the Obama jobs program
– while they simultaneously sit on their $2.5 trillion cash hoard and
refuse to invest in America.”</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Finally, for a president and administration that are constantly
praising the anti-corporation Occupy Movement, in the second half of
2010, Obama reshuffled his staff, repopulating his team with <strong>corporate advisers</strong>.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>According to Jack Rasmus of Truthout.com:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>“Bill Daley became chief of staff. General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt
headed the president’s ‘jobs council.’ Scores of corporate underlings
were hired behind them. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What we subsequently got, in terms of jobs
policy, was a manufacturing sector- and export trade-centric set of
proposals. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Jobs were supposed to come from stimulating manufacturing
and exports, pushing free trade, and cutting business regulations, as
well as from promoting patent protection for the technology sector and
similar pro-business approaches. Daley-Immelt essentially took over the
Obama jobs program.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>
</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>More business and investor tax cuts followed, including $802 billion
in further tax reductions in December 2010. Regulations were reduced, as
Obama bragged in his SOTU speech that he cut more regulations than
George W. Bush did in his first term.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Contrary to the president’s 2008
campaign promises to restructure “job-killing” free trade agreements,
the Obama-Daley-Immelt team opened a new offensive to pass pending free
trade agreements with Korea, Panama, Columbia and elsewhere. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The former
three were adopted in 2011. These were promoted as measures to create
manufacturing jobs. However, according to various studies since 1994 by
the Economic Policy Institute, more than 10 million jobs have been LOST
due to free trade.”</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u style="background-color: yellow; color: blue;">What America needs is a good 12-step program for Republicans.
</u><br style="background-color: yellow;" /><br />If Republicans actually believed what they claim to believe and
actually used their power to assert those beliefs, it wouldn't even
matter that Barack Obama sits in the White House.
<br /><br />We don't have to convince Barack Obama that limited government is a good thing; the Republicans in the Congress could <i>impose</i> it on him – denying him the funds he covets to bankrupt America and turn it into a socialist republic.<br /><br />

in 2011, we saw Republicans were the real barrier to constraining the
role of the federal government to the powers enumerated in the
Constitution.
<br /><br />All we really have to do is persuade the Republicans, over the
next 12 months, to live up to their stated convictions. Failing that,
there is no political hope for America. And I refuse to believe there is
no political hope for the greatest country the world has ever known.
<br /><br />So I am determined to enlist support for this 12-step program to
lobby Republicans to do something drastic in 2012. The 12 steps are
actually 12 months of a sustained effort to infuse Republican
officeholders, Republican donors, Republican organizations, Republican
voters and Republican candidates to take a simple pledge that will
transform America in January 2012 back to constitutionally limited
government – no matter who is elected president in November.
<br /><br />To understand this simple plan, you have to recognize America is
hopelessly divided, stratified, polarized. Americans are giving up on
the political system, because it seems we can no longer live together as
one nation. What has bound us together, the founding documents and a
common political creed, is irrelevant to most Democrats. They believe
fundamentally that government should do whatever it wants – the more the
better. They believe the strict limits the Constitution places on
Washington are archaic anachronisms of a bygone era. They literally
believe the federal government should intervene in every aspect of the
lives of individuals and states.
<br /><br />There is no dealing with Democrats – no common ground to be found.
<br /><br />
<a href="http://alerts.worldnetdaily.com/HS?a=ENX7CqhOP32w8SA9MKJa52TnGHxKLUGPlPcStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_Hhe-ud1IX" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">With that in mind, I look for solutions that can be imposed on them</a>.
And as long as Republicans control even one house of Congress, which I
am certain they will do in 2012, Republicans alone have the power to
take America back in a dramatic fashion. All we have to do is convince
them to use that power. <br /><br />We failed to do that in 2011.
<br /><br />After the tea party used all of its energy to give the GOP
control of the House of Representatives in 2010, the Republicans
frittered away their power to impose a balanced budget on Washington.
They frittered away their power to return Washington to constitutionally
limited government with one vote. They frittered away their power to
ensure Obama could not continue to recklessly spend money. They
frittered away their power to turn Obamacare into a meaningless piece of
legislation that could never be funded. They frittered away their power
to get a balanced budget overnight.
<br /><br />They did all this when House Speaker John Boehner used his
influence to persuade the Republican majority to support raising the
debt limit. <br /><br />
<a href="http://alerts.worldnetdaily.com/HS?a=ENX7CqhOP32w8SA9MKJa52TnGHxKLUGPlfcStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_Hhe-ud1IU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1326220974_1">Click here to learn more about the "No More Red Ink" campaign.</span>
</a><br /><br />Had they voted no, $1 trillion would have had to be cut from
spending plans beginning last year. Government would have been forced
to live within its means. There is nothing Democrats could do about it.
<br /><br />Why did Boehner and the House Republicans do that?
<br /><br />I'm not sure. But we must never let it happen again.
<br /><br />We have 12 months to get every Republican officeholder and
candidate on record with a pledge not to raise the debt limit in 2012 –
end of story.
<br /><br />That's how simple it is to take America back. We don't need any Democrats to support it. We don't need any Democrats to like it.
<br /><br />Ron Paul supports this approach, as does Michele Bachmann.
Sadly, only 22 House Republicans voted to oppose the debt-limit hike
last summer. We need 218 votes in the next session of Congress.
<br /><br />That should be our single-minded focus – to convince Republicans
to stop trying to compromise with Democrats and to use the absolute
power they have with control of one House of Congress to <i>impose</i> their solution.<br /><br />We
don't need any more 10-year plans to reach a balanced budget. We don't
need any more Paul Ryan budgets that actually call for more astronomical
borrowing for years to reach a balanced budget. It's time to go cold
turkey and cut up Washington's credit cards.
<br /><br />
Could we convince Republicans and Republicans alone that this is the only way back for America in 2012?
<br /><br />
<a href="http://alerts.worldnetdaily.com/HS?a=ENX7CqhOP32w8SA9MKJa52TnGHxKLUGPqvcStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_Hhe-ud1IV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img align="right" border="0" height="219" hspace="3" src="http://www.wnd.com/images/email/shop/TSA.jpg" width="290" /></a>I think we can. But it will take an unprecedented tea party-like uprising over the next 12 months.
<br /><br />I intend to facilitate that uprising – starting now.
<br /><br /><a href="http://alerts.worldnetdaily.com/HS?a=ENX7CqhOP32w8SA9MKJa52TnGHxKLUGPq_cStGb5lw8W0bBhOG5mpqVsje_Hhe-ud1Ia" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">If
you are with me, sign on to the "No More Red Ink" program today. We
need to start bombarding the House Republicans with letters and pressure
now if we are to have any chance of success in turning off the
borrowing spigot next January.</a><br /><br />

We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and
compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say
one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home.
We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any
cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic
Country’s interest than US interest.<br /> <br /> We will teach our children
Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to
compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our
children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first
and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK,
Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.<br /> <br /> Our
children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed

Jihad when time comes. Who are we?</span></b></span></h6>
