We Are Living Saul Alinsky's Wildest Dreams

"Hence tyrants are always fond of bad men, because they love to be flattered, but no man who has the spirit of a freeman in him will lower himself by flattery; good men love others, or at any rate do not flatter them. Moreover, the bad are useful for bad purposes; 'nail knocks out nail,' as the proverb says. It is characteristic of a tyrant to dislike every one who has dignity or independence; he wants to be alone in his glory, but any one who claims a like dignity or asserts his independence encroaches upon his prerogative, and is hated by him as an enemy to his power. Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the Others enter into no rivalry with him."

- Aristotle, Politics

Frank Marshall Davis

Barack Obama's campaign acknowledged that Frank Marshall Davis is the "Frank" identified in Dreams of My Father during the presidential campaign. Frank Marshall Davis was Obama's mentor from the US Communist Party during his high school days.

Here's an excerpt from the Obama campaign's smear piece against the "fringe bigot", Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation:
LIE: “But the key role Frank Marshall Davis plays in the autobiography is not to provide Obama with words from his poems as a voice for Obama’s black rage. Instead Davis is the mentor Obama seeks for wisdom and advice, for instance when he has a crisis with his grandmother that was so traumatic Obama still mentions it today.” [p 87]

REALITY: OBAMA MEMOIR CHARACTERIZED FRANK DAVIS MARSHALL AS A FIGURE FROM HIS YOUTH WHO “FELL SHORT” AND WHOSE VIEW OF RACE WAS “INCURABLE”
The "reality" doesn't say much. Many could argue that Obama's views on race couldn't be more divisive. No questions are answered as to how intimate this relationship was.

The reality buried in the sand is that Davis would defend convicts who conspired to overthrow the Government by force and violence, who were members of the Communist Party.

In the Honolulu Record, October 20, 1949, page 6, Davis is quoted, "I feel strong sympathy for the Communist minority who are being oppressed for their political beliefs."

To leave it at that would leave out a far more scandalous affair. As it turns out, Mr. Davis was also a pedophile according to The Telegraph in the UK.

The article confirms that Davis wrote under a different name about his bizzare sex life.
“I could not then truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine.” In the introduction to Sex Rebel, Mr Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has “changed names and identities…all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences”.

He stated that “under certain circumstances I am bisexual” and that he was “ a voyeur and an exhibitionist” who was “occasionally mildly interested in sado-masochism”, adding: “I have often wished I had two penises to enjoy simultaneously the double – but different – sensations of oral and genital copulation.”

The book, which closely tracks Mr Davis’s life in Chicago and Hawaii and the fact that his first wife was black and his second white, describes in lurid detail a series of shockingly sordid sexual encounters, often involving group sex.

One chapter concerns the seduction by Mr Davis and his first wife of a 13-year-old girl called Anne. Mr Davis wrote that it was the girl who had suggested he had sex with her. “I’m not one to go in for Lolitas. Usually I’d rather not bed a babe under 20.

“But there are exceptions. I didn’t want to disappoint the trusting child. At her still-impressionistic age, a rejection might be traumatic, could even cripple her sexually for life.”

He then described how he and his wife would have sex with the girl. “Anne came up many times the next several weeks, her aunt thinking she was in good hands. Actually she was.

“She obtained a course in practical sex from experienced and considerate practitioners rather than from ignorant insensitive neophytes….I think we did her a favour, although the pleasure was mutual.”

On other occasions, Mr Davis would cruise in Hawaii parks looking for couples or female tourists to have sex with. He derived sexual gratification from bondage, simulated rape and being flogged and urinated on.

Obama's Involvement With Community Organizing

Here is an abridgement from a previous piece entitled, "The Truth About The Community Organizer."
Saul Alinsky was a transformational Marxist who was deeply influenced by Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist philosopher. Gramsci and Alinsky believed that you could not change the West with a confrontation. Instead, a "long march through the institutions" was required to change it from the inside out. As opposed to a Bolshevik-style revolution, a revolution on the United States would have to be achieved through the democratic process by the practice of infiltrating the institutions, such as churches, courts, universities, and schools through a trained stealth facilitator - otherwise known as a community organizer.

The ultimate goal of the community organizer was to weaken the firm beliefs of the middle class through a series of discussions among a diverse group in order to achieve a pre-planned outcome. In short, it is twisting the truth to achieve a concensus among the group.

In order to achieve the consensus, the meetings must consist of all five of these elements:

- a diverse group
- dialoguing to consensus
- over a social issue
- led by a trained facilitator
- toward a pre-planned outcome.

The diversity of the group is necessary in order to shake down an individual's firm convictions by the means of peer pressure. The fear of a man's rejection from society will cause him to remain silent about his convictions unless he is to change his mind. The goal of this manipulative process is to achieve a paradigm shift - a change in the individual's thought process altogether.
For three years, Obama worked as a consultant and instrucor for the Gamaliel Foundation, which claims to represent over a million people worldwide. The name “Gamaliel” refers to a teacher of Saint Paul in the book of Acts, who was considered to be first great congregation-based organizer, according to Saul Alinsky. Another connection between the Gamaliel Foundation and Saul Alinsky is that a key topic in training is to see "the world as it is" versus "the world as it should be," which came directly from Chapter Two of Alinsky's notorious playbook, Rules for Radicals.


ACORN Fraud & Embezzlement

ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is another byproduct of Saul Alinsky, which grew out of the National Welfare Rights Organization. The NWRO has specialized in flooding the welfare rolls by organizing sit-ins and disruptions at welfare offices, pressuring social workers to remove restrictions on its potential recipients.

Saul Alinsky is credited for coining the phrase, "Think globally, act locally." For years, that was the tactical motto for ACORN. Chicago, unsuprisingly, is home to one of its strongest chapters. The organization is known for its "in your face" approach, and operates through the use of aggression and intimidation.

Madeleine Talbot, once a leader of Chicago ACORN, took notice of Obama's community organizing skills to the extent that she invited him to help train her own staff. During a minimum wage debate, Talbot made an attempt to storm the Chicago City Council, resulting in the arrest of six arrests out of the 200 ACORN protesters who disrupted the Chicago City Council session.

ACORN is currently under a federal investigation, and the findings are set to expose them as a mob-style racket. They are being tried under RICO statutes (under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) for voter fraud.

Project Vote, which Obama personally directed in 1992, has illegally received donor lists from the Obama, Kerry, and Clinton campaigns. ACORN staffers received payments through Project Vote for partisan campaign activities. The Project Vote development plan was to ‘approach maxed out presidential donors’, and ‘allegedly use the funds for voter registration drives.’ ACORN based which states Project Vote would conduct voter registration drives on political considerations. These were often conducted in battleground states to change the outcome of the elections. In 2007, there was a $9 million discrepancy in the ACORN affiliated accounts.

The program for the ACORN voter registration drives is Muscle For Money. ACORN affiliate Citizens Services International (“CSI”) received almost $900,000 from the Obama campaign for voter registration, voter identification, turnout and get-out-the-vote services. ACORN members were paid to intimidate such corporations as Sherwin-Williams, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt, Money Mart, among others. The main goal of this strategy was to extract corporate donations.

Much of this information has come to light, thanks to Heather Heidelbaugh, an attorney serving on the Executive Committee of the Republican National Lawyers Association. Heidelbaugh is currently testifying before Congress in regard to this massive extortion racket.

The Truth About the Community Organizer

On January 20, 2009, America sworn in its first community organizer turned president. As they did in the campaign, every major media network paid little attention to the big story and emphasized President Barack Hussein Obama's race everywhere you turned. Governor Paterson of New York, successor of the disgraced whore-monger Eliot Spitzer, even suggested that mentioning the term "community organizer" at repetition amounted to racial overtones.

Unfortunately, the GOP used it as a laughing matter to make a point about Obama's second greatest weakness - his lack of experience. Throughout the campaign, John McCain was sure to avoid the subject of Obama's greatest weakness - his radical political mentors.

Take the third presidential debate for example, with Bob Schieffer. McCain was asked about Obama's associations with Weatherman Underground bomber William Ayers, a man who is said to desire the extermination of 25 million capitalists who refused to fold on their convictions. At first, McCain dodged the question entirely. It reached a point where Schieffer had to push McCain to even discuss the issue.

While coming off as passionate about running a dignified campaign, McCain was clearly disinterested in revealing Obama's controversial past. Sarah Palin was able to scratch the surface on Obama's past, but only used the "community organizer" title for humorous purposes.

You may want to take a deep breath before I go on.

According to L. David Alinsky, the son of Saul Alinsky, Obama is a master of the tactics his father taught. In the Boston Globe, he wrote this letter to the editor:
"ALL THE elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situations and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowd's chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people. The Democratic National Convention had all the elements of the perfectly organized event, Saul Alinsky style.

"Barack Obama's training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness. It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well.

"I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday."
Saul Alinsky was a transformational Marxist who was deeply influenced by Antonio Gramsci, an Italian communist philosopher. Gramsci and Alinsky believed that you could not change the West with a confrontation. Instead, a "long march through the institutions" was required to change it from the inside out. As opposed to a Bolshevik-style revolution, a revolution on the United States would have to be achieved through the democratic process by the practice of infiltrating the institutions, such as churches, courts, universities, and schools through a trained stealth facilitator - otherwise known as a community organizer.

In an effort to appear centrist, Alinsky and his followers would frown upon overt 1960's throwbacks that protested the Vietnam War and lacked personal hygiene. They would dress professionally as they spoke to the common man. When speaking to the middle class and their blue-collar followers, they would persuasively articulate what they called "common sense solutions for working families." Only in their inner circle would they vent about "racism," "sexism," and "oppressive corporate systems."

The ultimate goal of the community organizer was to weaken the firm beliefs of the middle class through a series of discussions among a diverse group in order to achieve a pre-planned outcome. In short, it is twisting the truth to achieve a concensus among the group.
In order to achieve the consensus, the meetings must consist of all five of these elements:

The fear of a man's rejection from society will cause him to remain silent about his convictions unless he is to change his mind. The goal of this manipulative process is to achieve a paradigm shift - a change in the individual's thought process altogether.

Obama's ties to Alinsky are furthermore exposed in a speech given by Michelle Obama on the campaign trail. The language was nearly identical to Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky's stealth Marxist manifesto, Rules for Radicals. From Michelle Obama:

"Barack stood up that day and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about 'The world as it is' and 'The world as it should be...All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do -- that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be."

This utopian tidbit is based on this selection found in Rules for Radicals:
"The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive -- but real -- allies of the Haves... The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."

I leave you with a chilling video on this subject matter found on You Tube:

The Dark Side of Obama

Senator Barack Obama's charismatic message of "hope," "change," and "yes, we can" have inspired many on the political left to believe that America will undergo a makeover in the political scene and win credibility with the rest of the world.

Keyword: credibility.

Just how credibile is Senator Obama? We will soon learn of his techniques, his values, and of course, his major controversies that have been swept under the rug in exchange for the media coverage of a silly picture of Obama in a turban.

Needless to say, even the mainstream media's coverage of his minor controversies, such as the Che Guevarra flag at his Houston campaign headquarters and his wife's recent comments about being proud of her country for the first time have sparked plenty of curiousity about Obama's background. This is a continuous exploratory of what is not being covered day in and day out.


Just Plagiarism

News has recently come to light about Barack Obama's use of plagiarism, borrowing at verbatim segments from a speech from Massachussetts governor and personal friend Deval Patrick. While Governor Patrick has defended Obama, it should not necessarily discredit the charge unless Obama is willing to cite his sources.

Just Words Pt. I:



Just Words Pt. II:



Just Words Pt. III:





The Afrocentric Trinity United Church of Christ

Unlike others on the political right, I am not one to dispute Obama's claim as a born-again Christian. However, I will make clear where his Christian values come from, if I should be loose with my rhetoric.

The TUCC of Chicago that Barack Obama attends is arguably separatist in addition to being Afrocentrist. From its own website:



"We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community."
The church is led by Jeremiah Wright, a controversial black liberation theologian who has praised and had associations with Louis Farrakhan, the hard-lined anti-semitic leader of the Nation of Islam. The reverend has rightfully expressed some concern over Obama's Jewish support as a result. "When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit Colonel Gadaffi with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell."

Wright has praised Farrakhan, calling him "an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose" with a "depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation," and a man of "integrity and honesty."

Four years after 9/11, Wright wrote that the terrorist attacks proved that "people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West went on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."

Whatever that means.



A Communist Mentor

Although Obama admits in his books that he attended socialist meetings and came into contact with Marxist literature, it is surely surprising for the voting population to learn that one of his most closest and most formative political mentors was Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA member who advised Obama not to "start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit."

This is not a rush to judgement.

In Barack Obama's book, Dreams From My Father, the presidential hopeful identifies repeatedly as "Frank" a man who offered Obama political advice and shaped his political philosophy. Obama's critics have tracked Obama's communist ties from his life in Hawaii during the 1970s, when he first met Frank Davis, all the way up to his sponsoring of the Global Poverty Act, which was actually a Communist Party USA initiative to redistribute billions of US tax dollars to third-world countries.

Now why wouldn't he identify him by his full name?

The link is clear from this speech that was delivered at the reception of the Communist Party USA archives at the Tamiment Library at New York University:


When these sources are explored, I think scholars of the future will be struck by, for example, the response in Honolulu when tens of thousands of workers went on strike when labor and CP leaders were convicted of Smith Act violations in 1953 – a response totally unlike the response on the mainland. Of course 98% of these workers were of Asian-Pacific ancestry, which suggests that scholars have also been derelict in analyzing why these workers were less anti-communist than their Euro-American counterparts. In any case, deploring these convictions in Hawaii was an African-American poet and journalist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis, who was certainly in the orbit of the CP – if not a member – and who was born in Kansas and spent a good deal of his adult life in Chicago, before decamping to Honolulu in 1948 at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson. Eventually, he befriended another family – a Euro-American family – that had migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago. In his best selling memoir ‘Dreams of my Father’, the author speaks warmly of an older black poet, he identifies simply as "Frank" as being a decisive influence in helping him to find his present identity as an African-American, a people who have been the least anticommunist and the most left-leaning of any constituency in this nation – though you would never know it from reading so-called left journals of opinion. At some point in the future, a teacher will add to her syllabus Barack’s memoir and instruct her students to read it alongside Frank Marshall Davis’ equally affecting memoir, "Living the Blues" and when that day comes, I’m sure a future student will not only examine critically the Frankenstein monsters that US imperialism created in order to subdue Communist parties but will also be moved to come to this historic and wonderful archive in order to gain insight on what has befallen this complex and intriguing planet on which we reside.


Friendship With A Pentagon Bomber

A recent story was broken by The Politico that linked Barack Obama to Bill Ayers, the man responsible for bombing the Pentagon during Nixon's term in office.

"I don't regret setting bombs," Ayers has said. "I feel we didn't do enough."

The article suggests that Obama's relationship with Ayers was not limited to one meeting that took place in the 1960s with young, radical college kids. In fact, Obama has been reported to have visited Ayers at his home, and a prominent Chicago physician and health care advocate has described Obama and Ayers as "friends."


Abortions on Newborns

It is not uncommon for the Democratic Party to back a pro-choice candidate. This time around, the three major Democratic presidential contenders all stood against the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the partial-birth abortion ban. Evidently, Barack Obama would not only roll back legalized partial-birth abortion, but take matters one step further. So says his record as an Illinois state senator.

As a state senator, Obama jumped on a fervent crusade to kill a bill that would have protected newborns who survived partial-birth abortion attempts from induced labor abortions. Induced labor abortions are performed by medicating the mother of the child to stimulate a premature birth. The babies that survive this horrific procedure are left untreated to die.

In 2000 and 2001, Jill Stanek, a nurse, testified to the U.S. Congress about how her hospital handled this procedure.

"One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have the time to hold him. I couldn't bear the thought of this suffering child lying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived."
I doubt most Americans understand that this procedure was even legal in their own country. It should be sickening to realize that it was, thanks to men like Obama. Considering that the US Senate passed a bill similar to the one Senator Obama killed, maybe "change" isn't such a great idea after all.

________________________________________________


Answers:


1. The Communist Manifesto.

"Nevertheless in the most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable: Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax."

2. The Declaration of Independence.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

3. The Communist Manifesto.

"Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty. But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social. And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or indirect, of society, by means of schools? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class. The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more disgusting, the more, by the action of Modern Industry, all the family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour."

4. The U.S. Constitution.

"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."

5. The Communist Manifesto.

"Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly."

6. The Declaration of Independence.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

7. The Declaration of Independence.

"Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind - Enemies in War, in Peace, Friends."

8. The U.S. Constitution.

“The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

9. The Communist Manifesto."

According to this, bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those who acquire anything, do not work. The whole of this objection is but another expression of the tautology: There can no longer be any wage labor when there is no longer any capital. All objections urged against the communistic mode of producing and appropriating material products, have, in the same way, been urged against the communistic mode of producing and appropriating intellectual products. Just as to the bourgeois, the disappearance of class property is the disappearance of production itself, so the disappearance of class culture is to him identical with the disappearance of all culture. That culture, the loss of which he laments, is, for the enormous majority, a mere training to act as a machine."

10. The U.S. Constitution.

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted."

I Am Cincinnati... and Virginia Tech, Too!

There’s a lot to say about what our college campuses have become. One has to wonder how much shame is required to obtain a career as a professor. We can always use Nikki Giovanni from Virginia Tech as an example, who calls herself a poet.

During Ken Blackwell’s gubernatorial campaign in Ohio, she read an original poem entitled “I am Cincinnati.”

A few lines in the poem worth quoting: "I am not a son of a bitch like Kenny Blackwell," and "[Cincinnati is] not a political whore.''

I imagine her students receive more education at a frat party than in her classroom.

In Giovanni’s speech following the Virginia Tech shooting: “We Are Virginia Tech:

“We do not understand this tragedy. We know we did not deserve it but neither does a child in Africa dying of AIDS, but neither do the invisible children walking the night to avoid being captured by a rogue army. Neither does the baby elephant watching his community be devastated for ivory; neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of the night in his crib in the home his father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized. No one deserves a tragedy.
I’m not sure how you can be Cincinnati and Virginia Tech at the same time. But anyways, this speech received harsh criticism, considering what the grieving families had gone through. I may be out of it, but how can this professor compare an elephant’s community “devastated for ivory” to the worst shooting massacre in American history?

In any event, it gets much worse. Here’s an excerpt of Nikki Giovanni’s poetry:

"The True Import Of Present Dialogue, Black vs. Negro"
by Nikki Giovanni

Nigger
Can you kill
Can you kill
Can a nigger kill
Can a nigger
kill a honkie
Can a nigger kill the Man
Can you kill nigger
Huh?
nigger can you
kill
Do you know how to draw blood
Can you poison
Can you stab-a-Jew
Can you kill huh? nigger
Can you kill
Can you
run a protestant down with your
'68 El Dorado
(that's all they're good
for anyway)
Can you kill
Can you piss on a blond head
Can you cut it
off
Can you kill…

This "professor" belongs in a psych ward, not on a college campus.

Hatred, Violence, and Terrorism Redefined?

Just hours after the Virginia Tech massacre, Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama made a startling claim: words are violence, too.

In his response to the shooting, he contended:

"There's also another kind of violence that we're going to have to think about. It's not necessarily the physical violence, but the violence that we perpetrate on each other in other ways.

“There's the ‘verbal violence’ of Imus.

“There's the violence of men and women who have worked all their lives and suddenly have the rug pulled out from under them because their job is moved to another country.”

That’s right. The outsourcing of jobs has suddenly been redefined as a form of violence as well. And according to dictionary.com, it may as well be a form of terrorism:

Terrorism

ter·ror·ism [ter-uh-riz-uhm]
–noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
And if Don Imus is a terrorist for his poor choice of words, then a middle school student might as well be charged with a hate-crime for his choice of food: ham.

The “Ham Crime” was committed at Lewiston Middle School in Lewiston, Maine, when a white male student put a ham steak in a lunch bag on a table where Somali students were seated. Pork is considered offensive towards Muslims.

The student had already faced a suspension for this. But since he’s a non-Muslim white male, why not throw him in jail?

Identity politics is an ongoing tradition that was first popularized by Benito Mussolini in Fascist Italy. Political correctness was a popular policy that heavily censored public opinion within the walls of the former Soviet Union. Combine the two, and you have hate-crime legislation.

But even a practical joke is a form of violence, so claims Barack Obama.

The school has chosen to work with a group that pushes this lunacy as their raison d'ĂȘtre. This group is the so-called Center for the Prevention of Hate Violence.

They'd like to send a message out to every white kid: If you’ve ever played a practical joke that was even the least bit insensitive, you can now consider yourself hateful and violent. Let this be a fair warning.

The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto

1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.

The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in 1868, and various zoning, school & property taxes. Zoning ordinances proposed by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover widely adopted. Supreme Court ruled "zoning" to be "constitutional" in 1921. Private owners of property required to get permission from government relative to the use of their property. Federally owned lands are leased for grazing, mining, timber usages, the fees being paid into the U.S. Treasury. Also the Bureau of Land Management. Today, the governments at all levels have "allodial" title to all property and permit those who have paid for those properties to have possession in exchange for a property tax. Owners are actually renters.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The Corporate Tax Act of 1909. A misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, in 1913. The Revenue Act of 1913, section 2, Income Tax. Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933. The Social Security Act of 1936, and various State "income" taxes, hovering around 47% in direct taxation: Federal Income Tax (28%); Social Security/Medicare (15%); State Tax (2.5%); County Tax (1 %); and local tax (1%).

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

The Federal & State Estate Tax of 1916; or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes. Partially accomplished by enactment of various state and federal "estate tax" laws taxing the "privilege" of transferring property after death and gift before death. Inheritance taxes are up to %50 - after paying a lifetime of taxes.

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

Government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 in 1986. Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" in the 1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill. Or, the IRS confiscation of property without due process, and persecution of those critical - "rebels" - of government policies and actions, frequently accomplished by prosecuting them in a courtroom drama on charges of violations of non-existing administrative or regulatory laws. The DEA and other enforcement departments have actually implemented quota systems on the value confiscated.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve Bank, the system of privately-owned Federal Reserve banks which maintain a monopoly on the valueless debt "money" in circulation. The system was nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This private bank has an exclusive monopoly in money creation which in reality has ended the need for revenue from taxes.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Federal Radio Commission in 1927, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Civil Aeronautics Act and Interstate Commerce Commission, both established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration in 1958, becoming part of the Department of Transportation in 1966; Federal Highway Act of 1916 (federal funds made available to States for highway construction); Interstate Highway System, 1944 (funding began 1956); Interstate Commerce Commission given authority by Congress to regulate trucking and carriers on inland waterways, 1935-40; Department of Transportation, 1966. Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations. Internet censorship, and warrantless monitoring of communications. There is also the postal monopoly, AMTRACK and CONRAIL. Driver's licenses and vehicle licenses control the highways at the state level.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

The bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. The Desert Entry Act, The Department of Agriculture of 1862; Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 -- farmers will receive government aid if and only if they relinquish control of farming activities; Tennessee Valley Authority, 1933 with the Hoover Dam completed in 1936. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. Incentives for some industries, excessive taxation on others. Regulation of minutia on a grand scale.

8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

The first labor unions, known as federations, appeared in 1820. National Labor Union established 1866. American Federation of Labor established 1886. Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 placed railways under federal regulation. Department of Labor, 1913. Labor-management negotiations sanctioned under Railway Labor Act of 1926. Civil Works Administration, 1933. The Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, National Labor Relations Act of 1935, stated purpose to free inter-state commerce from disruptive strikes by eliminating the cause of the strike. Works Progress Administration 1935. Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, mandated 40-hour work week and time-and-a-half for overtime, set "minimum wage" scale. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 - effectively the equal liability of all to labor, and assorted unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and Executive order 11000. Forced unionization; regulatory control of market pricing. The Equal Rights Amendment - women do equal work that men do including the military, and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

The Planning Reorganization act of 1949, zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. Subsidized creation of networks of utility services to build vast amounts in locations. Food processing companies, with the co-operation of the Farmers Home Administration foreclosures, are buying up farms and creating "conglomerates."

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form.

Taxation for 'public' schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. Gradual shift from private education to publicly funded began in the Northern States, early 1800's. 1887: federal money (unconstitutionally) began funding specialized education. Smith-Lever Act of 1914, vocational education; Smith-Hughes Act of 1917 and other relief acts of the 1930's. Federal school lunch program of 1935; National School Lunch Act of 1946. National Defense Education Act of 1958, a reaction to Russia's Sputnik satellite demonstration, provided grants to education's specialties. Federal school aid law passed, 1965, greatly enlarged federal role in education, "head-start" programs, textbooks, library books. The Department of Education, the NEA and outcome-based "education."
