RULES FOR RADICALS

Obama will have spent 8 years destroying this country. He’s still got 2 1/2 years to finish us off, and he might. If not, Shrillery is in the wings. Obama’s built a FSA majority voting block, so Hillary is a shoe-in.

Does anyone think we’ll last another eight years under liberal progressive leadership? I don’t. The future looks pretty bleak.

Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘America’ warns Hillary Clinton will ‘finish off’ the country

By Paul Bedard | May 30, 2014 | 1:51 pm

In his highly anticipated new book and movie “America,” conservative author Dinesh D’Souza is warning that Hillary Clinton won’t be a clone of her moderate husband, but will instead take the baton from President Obama to continue radicalizing the country and “undo the nation’s founding ideals.”

“America — Imagine a World Without Her,” published by Regnery and set for release Monday, charges that as students of radical organizer Saul Alinsky, Obama and Clinton could have enough time to “unmake and then remake America” into a nation the founding fathers wouldn’t recognize.

They may not be responsible for the suicide of America, but they certainly will have helped to finish off a certain way of life in America, and they will leave us with a country unrecognizable not only to Washington and Jefferson but also to those of us who grew up in the 20th century,” wrote D’Souza.

If they succeed, there may be no going back. Then it will be their America, not ours, and we will be a people bereft of a country, with no place to go,” he adds on page 87.

“America” is D’Souza’s latest book and movie on how he sees progressive politics hurting the nation. He also created the movie “2016: Obama’s America,” which was the second highest-grossing political documentary.

An advance copy of the book provided to Secrets suggests that progressives aim to remake the nation into one that is less powerful, less wealthy and less influential. If that happens, he warns, “We have committed national suicide.”

He focuses on Obama’s and Clinton’s links to Alinsky in a chapter titled “The Plan.” He claims the two followed the radical’s master plan that they hide their views and ideas until they get into power.

“If you see early pictures and video of Hillary, she looks and sounds like a former hippie. Overtime, however, Hillary started dressing like a respectable middle-class mother and speaking in a clipped, moderate sounding voice. Young Barack Obama, too, looked like a bit of a street thug — in his own words, he could have been Trayvon Martin. Over time, however, Obama started dressing impeccably and even practiced modulating his voice,” the popular author writes.

Hillary and Obama have both learned the Alinsky lesson that your should aggressively pursue power while pretending to be motivated by altruism,” he added.

“More importantly, Hillary and Obama both adopted Alinsky’s strategic counsel to sound mainstream, even when you aren’t,” wrote D’Souza. “These are the ways in which our two Alinskyites make themselves palatable to the American middle class, which to this day has no idea how hostile Hillary and Obama are to middle-class values.

“If Hillary Clinton is elected in 2016, the baton will have passed from one Alinskyite to another. In this case, Alinsky’s influence will have taken on a massive, almost unimaginable, importance. Obama will have had eight years to remake America, and Hillary will have another four or perhaps eight to complete the job,” he wrote.

Saul Alinsky’s 12 Rules for Radicals

Here is the complete list from Alinsky.

* RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
* RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
* RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
* RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
* RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
* RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
* RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
* RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
* RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
* RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
* RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Time to start playing.

Flood the nation with millions of third world people . Double down on expanding the FSA.Double down on expanding the Police State. Then collapse the currency. The dollar as the reserve currency is dropped. The middle and upper middle classes are wiped out financially. Then a hurricane. of crime and violence will hit the nation. Declare Marshall Law.
America with be torn apart by racial hate.The white liberals progressives who have done this to America will with draw to their gated communities only to find themselves completely surrounded by desperate , scared and hungry people.Their make believe utopia will quickly turn to Hell.
Psalm 18:4…the pangs of death surrounded me ,and the floods of lawlessness and ungodliness made me afraid… our future….AWD.

Instead of emphatically following the rules laid out by Saul Alinsky, shouldn’t our trusted politicians be emphatically following the rules laid out by our forefathers – you know, like the most important ones found in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights? Everyone who knows what made this country great and what’s turning it into an impoverished socialist welfare state should be pondering this question.

All this worry about Hillary is for naught. If an 8-year-younger Hillary couldn’t beat out a virtually unknown, inexperienced, black community organizer with a suspicious background and friends that are notorious felons and black theologists for the Democrat nomination in 2008, what makes anyone think an 8-year-older Hillary with 8 more years on her sagging hide and 8 more years of Benghazi baggage is going finish ahead of anyone except Joe “Brains” Biden in the race for the 2016 Democrat nomination? She’s finished. She may realize it before the hats start flying in the ring. Then again, her megalomania may delude her to the point of believing she can win it all.

Perfect title for Hillary’s new book: “It Takes a Village Idiot.”

bb, Swiss assisted suicide clinics are legally assisting people for trivial reasons these days. Perhaps many states in this country will follow the lead of the Swiss on that idea in the near future. Just think of all the money death panels will save the country in expensive medical bills.

I can see it now. Planned Death. Luxury treatment: $10,000. Standard treatment: $7,500. Economy treatment: $5,000. Their new motto: Don’t ask, don’t tell.

White people who vote Democrat aren’t necessarily stupid. Many have been masterfully brainwashed by leftist teachers and professors. Many are dependent on big government for either a job or some “entitlement.” Smarter government dependents will vote Democrat despite knowing how destructive they are. Hey, as long as the money keeps coming…

AI D , all good points . I don’t think I would take myself out unless I had no reason to go on.I still have my mom and other people I care about.I will stay here to take care of my mom as long as she is here .I got a little depressed today thinking about what could happen. I guess I need to get out of my head
More often.

Economan came up with this old theory: “Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery.” Sooner or later the NYT will give him a job.

Wasn’t it Franklin who came up with the aphorism concerning the sixpence? Spelling note: I’ve seen it a couple of time misspelled – it’s “martial” law, not “marshall”. To “marshal” is to gather or amass a quantity of something. BC-LR to all

Puh-lease.

As if Ob ama, and next up Hillary, are the true reasons we are crashing and burning.

The likes of them are just accelerating it.

This country started falling apart within seconds of being formed.

A republic, as long as we can keep it.

Continuing to focus on the puppets, while trying our best to never lift the veil and see who is actually behind our rise, now destruction.

What amuses me the most is that many of the enlightened continue to think that changing the puppet’s supporters colors will somehow right the ship and put us back on the “correct” path.

The path never existed. We, the serfs that have lived a few generations of self-determination and wealth, were presented with this false path and now will be presented with its demise.

It truly does not matter, Reagan obliterated property rights and both the 4th and 5th Amendments in the name of the War on Drugs. Clinton furthered it along but was provided cover by a once-in-a-lifetime economic boom and Monica. Bush signed the bills that truly allowed Ob ama to do the things he does today.

Ob ama would not be “fundamentally” changing America if all those before him didn’t give his office the power to do so.

Amusing to believe that this country would be less fucked if McCain, or Romney, would have won. Based on history of the office, I call absolute bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong, he is right, Hillary will finish us off – what little is actually left and not just continuing to exist in public mythology – but so will the Repuke that could possibly be elected. Or Biden, or Mrs. Ob ama, or Jindal or fat-assed Christie.

They ALL are beholden to the PTB, whom seem to have either schooled Alinksky, or been schooled by him.

We, the American middle class, the anomaly of human history, are dying. To think we can change this with a different colored “leader” has gone past farcical and onto heartbreaking.

Red, blue or purple, they will always win and we are going to pay for it.

So it goes.
