Have you ever stopped to ask exactly why our nation perpetually appears to be struggling these days with one insurmountable crisis after another: fiscal cliffs, an irreparably broken heath care system, out-of-control illegal immigration, astronomical debt?
Have you ever asked why, as we watch our future that was once so bright, fade into the twilight of despair, do Barack Obama and our elected officials appear to be doing nothing to put our nation back on track to regain the ground we've lost?
Then again, is Barack Obama actually doing nothing? Is he simply incompetent, out of his league when it comes to meeting his responsibilities as chief executive of the United States, as so many pundits have said, or is there another possibility?
Is it possible that each and every decision Barack Obama has made was actually intended to bring the United States, a country with a rich history and traditions that he clearly detests, down to it's knees?
While it may not be the politically correct or the politically acceptable thing to say so; the answer is yes. Barack Obama knows exactly what he is doing, and our nation's recent misfortunes are not the result of rookie mistakes born of incompetence or ignorance.
What would you say if we were to tell you that Barack Obama is actually carrying out a carefully outlined plan that had been mapped-out long ago by two socialist Columbia University professors who, perhaps not-so coincidentally, taught at Columbia University when Barack Obama attended Columbia; and that the eventual goal of this carefully engineered plan is to bring about the destruction of our economy and our nation from within?
These two socialist university professors, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven did, in fact, formulate and publish what they called a "plan for manufactured crisis," or as it is more commonly called today, the Cloward Piven Strategy, with that exact goal in mind.
And just why would these university professors formulate a plan to bring about the downfall of the United States and why would a future political leader implement a plan to intentionally ruin our economy?
Barack Obama answered that question during the 2008 presidential campaign; unfortunately, at that time, most Americans either weren't paying attention or didn't understand exactly what he meant when he said that the wanted to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America.
And, while it may sound shocking, Barack Obama may actually believe, in his own mind, that he's making a better world. At the very least, he is convinced that he's transforming America into a "socialist utopia."
Ask yourself the following question: if one's goal is the total transformation of a society, what must, first and foremost, be done to bring about that transformation in a reasonable period of time?
Cloward and Piven postulated, correctly, that bringing about radical change in an evolutionary and incremental manner was an exercise in futility and that it would be necessary to destroy the existing system in order to rebuild it anew, in the same way that a construction crew would implode and old building to clear the ground to erect a new building.
Now ask yourself, how would one go about destroying the existing system in the United States so that ground could be broken to rebuild it? Cloward and Piven believed they had a viable answer?
In simplistic terms, the strategy entails manufacturing a crisis and then implementing a solution that actually makes the crisis much worse and moreover, makes implementation of a real solution to the crisis next to impossible; and every solution to the crisis must invariably entail purposefully overwhelming federal government programs in an effort to cause those programs and the federal government to implode under its own weight?
They first outlined this plan in an article that was titled, "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" that was published in "The Nation" in may of 1966.
While the article was confined to ending poverty, supposedly by coercing the political establishment into instituting a federally mandated "guaranteed annual income" for everyone in the United States, the strategy could easily be applied effectively on a variety of issues, as the key aspect of the strategy is always the creation and management of crisis.
In the first paragraph of the article, they state their thesis: "It is our purpose to advance a strategy which affords the basis for a convergence of civil rights organizations, militant anti-poverty groups and the poor. If this strategy were implemented, a political crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty."
Once a "crisis" was defined, ground troops would be deployed to exert pressure on politicians (remember, Barack Obama was a "community organizer") who would then be directed to institute very specific "solutions" (solutions that could be tailored beforehand to actually cause further disruptions to the system or, stated another way, another crisis) that were already pre-selected by the agitators.
They go on to state in the article: "By the internal disruption of local bureaucratic practices, by the furor over public welfare poverty, and by the collapse of current financing arrangements, powerful forces can be generated for major economic reforms at the national level."
Does that sound like a crazy idea? Perhaps, but keep in mind, we see the implementation of the strategy all around us today.
For example, the process by which, what we now call, ObamaCare was "sold" to the American people, railroaded through Congress and eventually implemented provides a perfect illustration as to how the strategy works when properly implemented.
The American people were first convinced that the United States was undergoing a "health care crisis" when, in actuality, it would have been more accurate to describe the sad state of our health care system as a pressing, but certainly not critical, problem.
And how did Barack Obama and his allies "solve" our health care crisis?
In spite of the fact that many of the primary causes of the problems in our health care system were rooted in years of government involvement in the system, and in spite of the fact that we already knew that Medicare was horribly insolvent and destined for bankruptcy, the "solution" that was advanced and implemented entailed accelerating the insolvency by giving the government even more control of the health care system under the guise of providing guaranteed health care coverage for everyone.
Politicians told us that ObamaCare would solve the "health care crisis" when, in reality, ObamaCare will be the mechanism to turn what was a pressing problem into an insurmountable crisis; a crisis that will overwhelm and bankrupt the federal government and thereby cause the demand for an even more drastic "solution."
The true, but unstated, purpose of ObamaCare was never to make health care more accessible and affordable for more people, the purpose was always to overload and cripple the system. If you believe we have a health care crisis now, you'll have a very rude awakening in a few years.
Another example of the strategy at work can be seen by examining the manner in which we attempted to fix our stagnant economy, a weakness which was caused in large part by our accumulation of an unreasonable amount of debt.
How is Mr. Obama attempting to "fix" the crisis? After selling the American people on the concept that we needed to "stimulate" the economy, the government made even more crippling debt; debt that is so insurmountable that it can potentially cause the fall of our economy a few years down the road. Is that not what is happening right now?
If you've been watching the news, you have heard that major cities in America are filing bankruptcy. How it came to pass is no secret. City officials, in response to political pressure, took on debt obligations years ago the cities had no hopes of being able to meet in future years.
Now that the federal government is taking on insurmountable amounts of debt, ask yourself, what will happen when the United States government finds itself in the same boat? What will happen when the very programs that are meant to provide "assistance to those in need" collapse because they can't be sustained by a bankrupt government?
Our politicians will have an answer. It won't be pretty. It will, more than likely involve some form of tyranny as government officials will be required to take total control over the economy, and our day-to-day lives, in order to bring us out of the very crisis that the government manufactured.
We'll be told what to eat (isn't the mayor of New York already doing that?), where to go to school, what professions are open to us (as in many European countries), where to live, what forms of transportation we may use....
But the government won't force tyranny upon us. We'll demand for it; just as the people of ancient Athens installed a tyrant after their 20 year experiment in Democracy failed, a failure brought about by the realization among the people that they could literally vote themselves the keys to the treasury.
And when the system totally collapses and tyranny comes, Barack Obama's dream of fundamentally "transforming" the United States will be realized.
He's already set the wheels in motion. Whoever may come after him will need to make some rather drastic changes to set things to rights and instituting drastic change is something that most politicians (with the exception of Mr. Obama and some of his cronies) are generally unwilling to do.
Now, you be may be asking: what evil is motivating Barack Obama and others to pursue this strategy. One way of answering that query might be to ask: who says the strategy or Obama's motives are "evil."
If Obama succeeds, the United States might not be a pleasant place in which to live and freedom will have become a fleeting concept, but life will be more fundamentally "fair" for everyone; society will be ordered as the government will dictate how each of us is allowed to live our lives... how much our money we are able to keep... what we do for a living.... where we live... what we eat... you get the idea.
A "socialist utopia" will be realized, and that is the ultimate goal of the implementation of the strategy.
