The eerie chants of innocent schoolchildren singing praises to a Chicago Politician, “We’re gonna spread happiness, we’re gonna spread freedom, Obama’s gonna change it, Obama’s gonna lead-um. We’re gonna change it and rearrange it. We’re gonna change the world” are more chilling than any Steven King script.
Since when did we look to our politicians to bring us happiness? There has been a sense that something is very wrong, but I just couldn't’t put my finger on it. Is it Providence? Or something else?
After reading this morning’s The Cloward-Piven strategy- Using the poor to tear down capitalism, by a retired Air Force colonel, and former strategist for the White House, Robert Chandler, it’s becoming clear that we may be involved in a civil war we never knew existed. The implosion of our banking system may have been an attack on capitalism with a fuse that stretched back to the mid-sixties.
The tip of the ice berg is beginning to emerge.
Inspired by riots the summer before, two Columbia University sociologists, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, proposed a strategy in 1966 to bring down capitalism. The strategy was to overload the government with unreasonable demands it was not designed to fulfill, hence, it would push society into a crisis and economic collapse.
They say the Titanic had warnings of the impending iceberg that destroyed it. The now primitive Morse Code, was nothing more than a bunch of dots and dashes to be interpreted, written and relayed—then acted upon.
This all sounds unbelievable, but we have seen a lot of things since the turn of this century that is just as unbelievable. The warnings are there, are we going to read them, connect the ACORNS and act? Or simply believe this vessel of freedom is a match for icebergs of socialism.
