Administration secular socialism


By Jim Killebrew

[December 19, 2014]  Are we looking at the very beginning of a civil unrest that will turn ugly? Each day I read or hear of some new venture that the current Administration in concert with the Congress or outside of Congress has decreed as a new law; a new spending plan; a new take-over of something; a new initiative war on Wall Street; a new effort to not only keep the borders open, but flood them with many more illegals. I hear statements like "This is the first time in my life I have seen these anti-capitalism actions initiated by our government," or other statements that suggest American freedoms are being taken away. Over and over I am hearing statements from people on the right say that these things are being planned by the Administration and are carrying them out in a planned, systematic way as outlined by Saul Alinsky.

According to Alinsky's Rules for Radicals to initiate change the organizer must establish a following that defines both "hope" and "resentment." The following is taken from a website that defines his principles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals

"Through a process combining hope and resentment, the organizer tries to create a “mass army” that brings in as many recruits as possible from local organizations, churches, services groups, labor unions, corner gangs, and individuals.
Alinsky provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.
 Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
 Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people. The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
 Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
 Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

 Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
 Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
 Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”

Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.
Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”
 Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength."

Go to the website to read the rest.

When I look at these rules I see the exact process that the Administration and the left side of the Democrat party is using to divide this country. It seems like they really are trying to destroy the constitutional form of government and change it to more socialistic ideas proposed by Alinsky.

What do you think?
