A Bold Step Back to Move America Forward

The Cloward Piven-Strategy

by TPO on May 31, 2009

When we look at where we ’suddenly’ find ourselves as a country, our first thought might well be “WOW! how did Obama turn us so far toward Socialism?

Truth be told, we have been taking baby steps in this direction for many years. The left KNOWS that we’d never allow them to just declare Capitalism dead, and roll out a new path.

One of the starting points was at Columbia University in 1966 when sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, develiped the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” 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.

Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty” in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation . Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called “crisis strategy” or “Cloward-Piven Strategy,” as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.

In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when “the rest of society is afraid of them,” Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation; poor people would rise in revolt; only then would “the rest of society” accept their demands. - http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6967

The entire demise of our country has been plotted by the left, and groups like Barack Obama’s beloved ACORN has been moving the country along this well thought out route ever since.

The chart below shows SOME of the relationships between left wing radical groups and Barack Obama. There are far too many relationships for him to be able to say “I didn’t know’ any longer.

The REAL SHAME is the fact that all of this information has been readily available for years, and Main Stream Media collectivly refused to report on just WHO and WHAT Barack Obama is.

The end result of this criminal neglect by the media, is that Obama not only got the support of the FAR left socialists, and the criminals and underclass that are forever looking to get something for nothing, but there was a large block that voted for him; many just because he is a black man.

I am of the belief that if these people knew ANYTHING of his actual belief system, and his intentions, they probably would not have voted for him.

So, WAKE UP AMERICA !!! it is time to step up, and get involved. There is still time to turn the tide and TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK !! but you will need to get involved to do so.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and God Bless!
