Fluffy Pink Slippers

I’m constantly aware and amazed at articles and reports that refer to Fox News as a right-wing news organization.  Of course it is conservative and leans to the right.    If Fox is right wing, who is left wing?  No one is the perceived left wing in terms of media reporting.  I’ve never seen a report or story referring to CBS, NBC or ABC as a left-wing news organization.  Americans perceive these media outlets as ‘middle of the road’.  But are they?  I have tried, in vein, to get any reporter from these news organization to investigate Obama and his administration, and they flatly refuse with the excuse that ‘it’s not news’ or ‘no one is interested’ .  Just a couple of items that I believe are important are the unprecdented Czars in the Whitehouse with powers beyond Congress and no accountabililty…or the lack of a paper trail on the President.  Forget the birth certificate.  No one has seen his parents’ marriage license, divorce papers, his passport (which would give his citizenship for either the U.S. or Indonesia), college records or law school records, to name a few.    Let me know your thoughts.

As I listen to Obama’s speeches, or many of the speeches given by the Left, I’m constantly aware of the Rules of Saul Alinsky.   Many times in these speeches, words are used to manipulate or con us into a belief.

Saul Alinsky was a Community Organizer in Chicago who wrote a book, “Rules for Radicals” which quickly became the bible of the Left.  It educated people about organizing and manipulating groups of people to get them to do what the organizer  wants, and at the same time, convince them it’s for their own good.  Barack Obama later taught these rules, himself, so he knows them well. 

The First Rule is “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”  Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. 

Generally, when a community organizer starts out, he or she doesn’t have a lot of support.  But if they talk in superlatives about their conquests, their goals, their support…their audience ‘thinks’ they have power.  I hear Obama talking about their plans for increasing jobs, plans for cutting the deficit, but has anyone seen a plan?   It’s simply shameless deception.  This rule is further supported by creating two groups of people, the haves and the have nots.  The audience, of course, is in the ‘have nots’ and feels resentments towards the haves.  This kind of manipulation is played daily by the left in their speeches…remember the phrase, “Wall Street vs. Main Street” or “tax cuts for the rich”.   This is purely manipulative speech that the main street media keeps alive.  What is Wall  Street vs. Main Street?  Is Wall Street supposed to be our enemy?  Are your IRA and pension accounts held by Wall Street firms?  Is that bad?  What would you do without your pensions?  Goldman Sachs is a good friend of Obama’s, so is he part of Wall Street or Main Street?

Take the phrase “tax cuts for the rich”.   Everyone who paid taxes got a tax cut; those who didn’t pay taxes, didn’t.  It wasn’t a tax cut for the rich, but it was rather a tax cut for taxpayers.   Did rich people get more back?  Yes…why shouldn’t they?  This was never really explained, but the phrase was used over and over.  It was never fully explained what rich people should do with their tax cut; should they give it back to the government?  should they give it to people who don’t pay taxes?

The purpose of the rules and tactics of Alinsky is to con and manipulate the audience into believing their words.  So listen to a speech, question the remarks and make sure you understand what’s being said.

On December 17, President Obama signed the following Executive Order:

Executive Order: AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 DESIGNATING INTERPOL AS A PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION

“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words “except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act” and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.”  Barack Obama

Here’s the text of 2(c), which this EO now has applying to INTERPOL:

(c) Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable.

An INTERPOL branch in the US now cannot be searched, it’s files are not subject to legal subpoena nor discovery. If any branch of government wants to keep documents out of the hands of the court system, just hand them over to INTERPOL until the smoke clears.

INTERPOL will now be able to maintain files on US citizens.

By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from any search and seizure by U. S. law enforcement officials, exemption from US taxes, and immunity from Freedom of Information Act requests, etc.

What this order, in effect, accomplishes is to allow a foreign person, persons or agency, under the shield of Interpol to come into the United States, maintain files on United States citizens and not be held accountable for its actions.  Al Qaeda could hide under this, and nothing can be done.  Through this order, he is decreasing US sovereignty and may now, also, be setting up the American people for dissolution of all of their rights under said US Constitution.

So my question is, why?

Is it me, or does this administration make a habit of talking in secret, planning behind closed doors and signing orders without telling anyone?  

On December 17, 2009, the White House released an Executive Order “Amending Executive Order 12425.” It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other “International Organizations” as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.

By removing language from President Reagan’s 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.  This Order, in effect, gives immunity to Interpol.  But what is the reason. 

I have also noticed during the non-debates about Healthcare Reform that the Democratic legislators do not seem to care about upcoming elections and the possibility of being defeated.  Do they know something we don’t know? 

The most frequent visitor to the Whitehouse is Andy Stern, President of the SIEU, and foremost fighter for global redistribution of wealth, from Americans to the Third World.  This is in line with the leftist belief that, if everyone is equal, we can eliminate poverty and violence.   And then, I guess, money rains from heaven.  Call me cynical but what if, martial law were declared in the United States, Interpol came in, with no enforcement over them, took over, and then the Czars took over for Congress.  Sounds kooky doesn’t it?

This is first in a series of articles about a husband and wife team,  Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, who penned the Cloward-Piven Strategy, the activist bible of the far left.  Both authors bridged the gap between political activism and scholarly pursuits.  

Richard A. Cloward, born in 1926, served in the Navy during WWII.  After his service he worked as a social worker in an army prison in Pennsylvania.   He believed in the Strain Theory of criminal behavior which looks at the ’strain’ of negative relationships upon youth and its effects on delinquency.    With fellow sociologist, Lloyd Ohlin, Cloward wrote “Delinquency and Opportunity:  A Theory of Delinquent Gangs”  claiming that delinquency was a symptom of poverty and the lack of alterntive opportunities.  He argued that social programs in local communities would help youths keep out of gangs and avoid a life of crime. 

Frances Piven attended school in Chicago, and after getting her PHD, worked as a city planner in New York.    She is  known equally for her contributions to social theory and for her social activism. Over the course of her career, she has served on the boards of the ACLU and the Democratic Socialists of America. 

In their book,  “Regulating the Poor” , Piven and Cloward argued that any advances the poor have made throughout history were directly proportional to their ability to disrupt institutions that depend upon their cooperation.  This belief is the basis from which their Cloward-Piven strategy would emerge.

 Piven studied voter registration and, together with Cloward, worked on the Motor Voter Bill, designed to increase voter registration.  In 1994, President Clinton signed the Voter Registration Act. which required state governments to allow for registration when a qualifying voter applied for or renewed their drivers license or applied for social services.  The intention of the legislation was to encourage greater access to voter registration for the citizens who needed further assistance registering to vote.

Inspired by the August 1965 riots in Watts, where  police used batons to subdue a Black man suspected of drunk driving, they published an article entitied “The Weight of the Poor:  A strategy to End Poverty”.  In their aricle, they indicated that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor.  Rather than giving the poor government hand-outs, Cloward and Piven believed that activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system, which would, in turn, ignite a political and financial crisis…then the rest of the society would accept the demands of the poor.

With the help of  a generous $300 million gift to Louisiana, the Senate can now move forward to discuss and debate Healthcare Reform prior to vote.  Politicians, reporters and fellow Americans are talking about the details of the bill without seeing the big picture.   To me, it’s like discussing how you’re going to watch TV while your home is burning down.  This series of deficit-building programs, like the Stimulus Package, Cash for Clunkers, extended unemployment insurance as well as the Healthcare Insurance Reform Bill and the upcoming Cap & Trade are not designed to save our economy, but rather to destroy it.   Over the next 2 weeks, my blog will be about the far Left’s plan to push forward… towards a collapse of America’s economy to enact a redistribution of wealth.  

When Obama prepared for his Senate campaign, the strategy was developed in the living room of  terrorist and capitalism-hating Bill Ayers and his equally angry wife, Bernardine Dohrn.   The leader of the group was far left political activist, Alice Palmer,  who was a former official of a notorious Communist front group (so identified by the FBI), the U.S. Peace Council, an affiliate of the World Peace Council, an international Soviet front.  This council was part of a larger organization working to undermine President Reagan’s arms buildup which played a major role in the downfall of the Soviet Union.  Palmer  introduced Obama to Illinois’ far left political activists.    Obama’s friends, mentors and peers seem to have similar feelings…that the United States is evil, and that change needs to take place.  Whether it’s Frank Davis, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Bill and Bernardine, or Van Jones…the message seems to remain the same, and change is their only direction.

 As far as I can tell,  implementation of change is  a three-prong approach…the first step is to fill the administration with supporters and non-vetted Czars that support the radical left views of Ayers, Obama, Jarrett and Pelosi.  Czars do not report to Congress and report only to Obama, himself.  Any orders can be fulfilled, and the Congress would never know.   Secondly, per the Saul Alinsky approach to community organizing, destroy your opponents.  We’ve seen and read hostile attacks repeatedly on President Bush and Vice President Cheney.  It seems to many that this trial of KSM in New York will actually be a trial of Bush and the CIA, another way to destroy their enemies.   Other conservatives, such as Limbaugh and Palin,  have also felt the vindictive venomous barbs.  Obama waged war against Fox News; however, he would not be interviewed by any of the more well-known hosts such as Hannity, O-Reilly or Beck.   The third part of this plan is implementation  of the Cloward-Piven strategy.  The CP Strategy seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse, such as bankruptcy.   We are continually overloading our government with higher deficits, higher unemployment and more domestic crises, like the NYC trial.  When our country weakens, Obama can implement the left’s dream of a redistribution of wealth.

I have no reason to believe this is not the plan.  It makes absolutely no sense to keep raising deficits…unless it’s for a particular purpose.  In addition, the most frequent visitor to the Whitehouse, as indicated by visitor logs, is Andy Stern, head of the SEIU, and foremost proponent of global distribution of wealth.   Please keep reading my blogs…as I expand on the strategies of Cloward-Piven.
