Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

America waits with bated breath while Washington struggles to bring the U.S. economy back from the brink of disaster. But many of those same politicians caused the crisis, and if left to their own devices will do so again.

Despite the mass media news blackout, a series of books, talk radio and the blogosphere have managed to expose Barack Obama's connections to his radical mentors -- Weather Underground bombers William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and others. David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks.org have also contributed a wealth of information and have noted Obama's radical connections since the beginning.

Barack Obama, the Cloward-Piven candidate, no matter how he describes himself, has been a radical activist for most of his political career. That activism has been in support of organizations and initiatives that at their heart seek to tear the pillars of this nation asunder in order to replace them with their demented socialist vision. Their influence has spread so far and so wide that despite their blatant culpability in the current financial crisis, they are able to manipulate Capital Hill politicians to cut them into $140 billion of the bailout pie!

The question is, really, do we have any stalwarts still in place that can stop these people?  

Or, are we truly going to see a turn over to a full Dem majority who also hold these views?  

What actions, other than our vote, can we take?

Nothing. Just drink chamomile tea until 2012 and then we will elect Sarah Palin.

Actually, there is a glimer of hope.  Two maybe.  Polls are showing a Senate race at 59-41.  If that happens, we still have a filibuster.  Second is Lieberman.  He is independant, and caucuses with the Dems.  But he is a moderate, and a good friend of McCain.  While switching caususes would be political suicide, he may vote more with McCain, and oppose the radial social marxist in the Senate.

For the future I hope that with the next candidates/nominees of any party to be vetted properly and before announcing their wishes that he/she comes clean and the background checked to the marrow bones.
We can't have again this madness.

Angry:  that is such a close call.  Talk about hanging by a thread.  Lieberman is a great asset. 

I don't want to count McCain out just yet.  If we do lose this round we have got to help promote moderate Dems . . . I've spoken to many D's who have begun to see the fringe element that is permeating that party and they aren't hip to it either.  

For our own party we need to shore up the stinkin' base.  In a country where the majority is center-right, we shouldn't be standing on this precipice.

Like Det says, "we can't have again this madness" and our candidates need to be checked out thoroughly! 

Oh, and have a handy supply of chamomile. : )

Angry,  I'd like to bring a couple of specifics "forward" to this page for discussion.  First:

No matter where the strategy is implemented, it shares the following features:

The offensive organizes previously unorganized groups eligible for government benefits but not currently receiving all they can.

  1. The offensive seeks to identify new beneficiaries and/or create new benefits.
  2. The overarching aim is always to impose new stresses on target systems, with the ultimate goal of forcing their collapse.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  In addition to the welfare issue below, what about standard of living and the "need" to guarantee not opportunity, but income via "spreading the wealth"?

 You know you guys are really full of it.  Im sure you will delete this as I am not one of your ditto-heads but, c'mon.  Lets talk about "spreading the wealth".  Why is it always ok to give money to the wealthy while any attempts to reducing the burden of the average man called socialism.  We have had enough of the immoral practice of giving to the rich at the demise of the middle class otherwise know as "trickle down" economics.  

    #5.1 - Sun Oct 26, 2008 5:20 PM EDT

    Exactly.  By implementing a plan of spreading the wealth around, you institute or strengthen a dependancy on government.  And the conservative argument that raising taxes on the rich, and small business owners will reduce jobs, will just feed more people into the class of needing government help.  Thus strengthening that need.  A vicious circle.  The need to nationalize banks becomes more apparent.  Failing industries will be classified as necessary for the state, thus allowing for their nationalization.  This happened in WWI when the government took over AT&T, and again during the Korean war when Truman nationalized the steel industry.

    dark,

    No one disagrees that scare strategy is used by both sides to get quick action.  However, inasfar as the latest Financial Rescue Bill goes, both parties supported and rejected the bill.  Here on the Vine prominent liberals and conservatives supported it (and great numbers from each side also rejected it).

    Why is it always ok to give money to the wealthy while any attempts to reducing the burden of the average man called socialism

    It's not socialism if the person who earns the money gets the money.  But you do remind me of another crisis/"right" the left will now push -- unions.  Obama says it's unpatriotic to refuse unionization, which is a crock.

    I can tell you, I was and still am one of those opposed to the bailout.  3 weeks now, and not one dime going out to stall one foreclosure.  That was the original intent.  Now we find that banks are applying for the money, and may use it to merge with other banks.  And we find that the insurance industry may need some, and the auto makers, or at least thier finance arms are getting in line for it.  Meanwhile they announce layoffs over the next several months.  What happened to the last loan we gave them?  Where the hell is my tax money going?  And this clown wants to take more of it and give it to Joe Schmoe cause he don't have as good a job as I do? This is socialism/marxism, and non of you bleeding heart liberals are going to convince me otherwise.  Cry me a river.  Let me know how you feel when your paycheck shrinks despite Komrade Obama's promise of a tax cut.

    Capitalizing on the racial unrest of the 1960s, Cloward and Piven saw the welfare system as their first target. They enlisted radical black activist George Wiley, who created the National Welfare Reform Organization (NWRO) to implement the strategy. Wiley hired militant foot soldiers to storm welfare offices around the country, violently demanding their "rights." According to a City Journal article by Sol Stern, welfare rolls increased from 4.3 million to 10.8 million by the mid-1970s as a result, and in New York City, where the strategy had been particularly successful, "one person was on the welfare rolls... for every two working in the city's private economy."

    Following Clinton's Welfare Reform, welfare rolls decreased drastically, but may have begun to rise again last year, (good annual chart in that article) and will certainly do so now. However, one hopes the experience of the 70s-90s will temper any explosion in the rolls, limiting it to those genuinely in need of a safety net rather than those who are using welfare as a lifestyle.

    What other government programs are vulnerable to this strategy?  Healthcare?  Mortgage buyback?  More corporate welfare? Illegal immigration?

    God grant those few responsible yet remaining in Washington, DC the strength to prevent this massive fraud from occurring. God grant them the courage to stand up in the face of this Marxist tidal wave.

    I wonder who the strong ones will turn out to be.

    Pardon my sarcasm, but we'll have to look outside Washington, D. C. for strength to challenge this coming socialism the next 2 years, I'm afraid.

    I just read the article "Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crises". Where was this article before the election. Well it is 9-7-09 and we know the answer to how President Obama is thinking. Can't we get this article up out of the archives and show it to newer readers? What are we going to do before we are all taken over. Currently only Glen Beck is handling the story. Thanks to him Van Jones is gone. Now what about the others. How about Axelrod/Emmanual? My guess is if the health care bill fails, Axelrod will be blamed and banished back to Chicago. Geoge Soros will have to put someone new into the president's office as an advisor and speech/teleprompter writer. Anyone wanting to keep in touch on more manufactured crisis, please contact my site.

    Marcella, get real, please.

    Mr. Jones needs only his laptop.

    I watched the V.P. of PETA, according with the agenda no more chicken, all in the name of "health".

    Well, Aurugula is pricey and I better practice eating grass if any is left, well I promise posting green recipes.

    It's all about money and control and I see myself in the future sucking my thumb.
