Don't be fooled by Obama's 'incompetence'
BY

Lest
you conclude this is fear mongering ~ you should know that Cloward
and Piven were on the stage with 0bama at the Inauguration. Google
it if you are still not believing this.....
It is a
tremendous mistake to think that the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico
will help convince Americans of Barack Obama's incompetence. Obama's
true agenda is so insidious that even his inability to handle a
crisis serves his greater strategy.
And that
strategy has a
name: it is the Cloward-Piven Strategy. Named for the two Leftist
sociology professors who formulated it, its purpose is to bring
about the demise of capitalism by overloading the system, largely by
making more people desperate and dependent on the government.
Thus,
Cloward-Piven's goals are
served by more and more aliens flooding across the border and
filling jails, emergency rooms and welfare rolls. It is also served
by the mortgage crisis; in fact, Professors Cloward and Piven were
the creators of ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for
Reform Now), which helped pressure banks to implement the lending
policies that precipitated that crisis. But Cloward-Piven seeks a
financial crisis far wider-ranging and more encompassing than a mere
mortgage meltdown.
So if
the oil spill in the Gulf
manages to destroy the fishing and tourist industries in that
region, shut down oil drilling, raise the price of oil and of food
all over the country, and bring more and more Americans to a
financial breaking point and thus dependent on food stamps and other
government programs, Obama and Co. will smile and nod at one another
as the Cloward-Piven strategy hums merrily along.
Anything
that puts a greater strain on government services -- and the
inability of those services, through incompetence and complex
bureaucracy to actually improve things - advances the goals of
Cloward-Piven.
The more desperate and demoralized the American people become, and
the more preoccupied we are with simple survival, the better our new
"leaders" like it, and the closer they get to assuming total and
complete control of every aspect of our lives.
Read
about the Cloward-Piven Strategy in greater detail in an
American Thinker article from
November 23, 2009, "Cloward-Piven Government" by James Simpson.
Simpson
explains that even the
patently unconstitutional laws and policies implemented by the Obama
regime are a deliberate part of the strategy, because in addition to
using financial crises to bring about the desired changes in our way
of life, it is necessary to render our Constitution impotent and
irrelevant.
If you think the Gulf
oil spill spells trouble for Obama, you're just not looking at as
big a picture as he's looking at, and you just don't realize how
much trouble we're all in.

Cloward-Piven
Government
It is time to cast aside all remaining doubt.
President Obama is not trying to lead America forward to recovery,
prosperity and strength. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The methodology is known as the
Cloward-Piven Strategy, and we can all be grateful to David
Horowitz and his
Discover the Networks
for originally exposing and explaining it to us. He describes it
as:
The strategy of forcing political
change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven
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.
Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were
two lifelong members of Democratic Socialists of America who
taught sociology at Columbia University (Piven later went on to
City University of New York). In a May 1966 Nation
magazine article titled "The Weight of the Poor," they outlined
their strategy, proposing to use grassroots radical
organizations to push ever more strident demands for public
services at all levels of government.
The result, they predicted, would be "a profound
financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful
forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."
They implemented the strategy by
creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable
among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform
Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke.
Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed
into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing
behind him.
As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk
mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis. But
the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy. It
created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN
then exploited.
ACORN's vote registration scandals
throughout the U.S. are predictable fallout.
The Motor Voter law has also been used to
open another vulnerability in the system: the registration of
vast numbers of illegal aliens, who then reliably vote Democrat.
Herein lies the real reason Democrats are so anxious for open
borders, security be damned.It should be clear to anyone with a
mind and two eyes that this president and this Congress do not
have our interests at heart. They are implementing this strategy
on an unprecedented scale by flooding America with a tidal wave
of poisonous initiatives, orders, regulations, and laws. As Rahm
Emmanuel said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste."
The real goal of "health care"
legislation, the real goal of "cap-and-trade," and the
real goal of the "stimulus" is to rip the guts out of
our private economy and transfer wide swaths of it over to the
government to control. Do not be deluded by the propaganda.
These initiatives are vehicles for change. They are not goals in
and of themselves except in their ability to deliver power. They
and will make matters much worse, for that is their design.
This time, in addition to overwhelming the
government with demands for services, Obama and the Democrats
are overwhelming political opposition to their plans with a
flood of apocalyptic legislation. Their ultimate goal is to
leave us so discouraged, demoralized, and exhausted that we
throw our hands up in defeat. As Charles Rangel* said, "the
middle class will be too distracted to fight."
These people are our enemies. They don't
use guns, yet, but they are just as dangerous, determined, and
duplicitous as the communists we faced in the Cold War, Korea,
Vietnam, and bush wars across the globe, and the Nazis we faced
in World War II.
It is time we fully internalized and digested
this fact, with all its ugly ramifications. These people have
violated countless laws and could be prosecuted, had we the
political power. Not only are their policies unconstitutional,
but deliberately so -- the goal being to make the
Constitution irrelevant. Their spending is off the charts and
will drive us into hyperinflation, but it could be rescinded,
had we the political power. These policies are toxic, but they
could be stopped and reversed, had we the political power. Their
ideologies are poisonous, but they could be exposed for what
they are, with long jail sentences as an object lesson, had we
the political power.
Every single citizen who cares about this
country should be spending every minute of his or her spare time
lobbying, organizing, writing, and planning. Fight every
initiative they launch. It is all destructive. If we
are to root out this evil, it is critical that in 2010 we elect
competent, principled leaders willing to defend our Constitution
and our country. Otherwise, the malevolent cabal that occupies
the government today will become too entrenched.
After that, all bets are off.

The biggest problems we are facing right now have to do with George W
