Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, Rule Number One

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

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.

Executive Order 12425, signed on 12/17/2009

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

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?

Taking Power From U.S. and Giving It To Interpol

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

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?
