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.)
..Ping!
>>Wake up, people! Obama is no Democrat. He’s just a conventional Marxist using executive powers to achieve Marxist goals on the way to his Marxist Utopia.
That’s exactly what a Democrat is! Some may not know it because they are ignorant to the fact that everything they believe is in the writings of Marx, but they are still marxists. Some people think that being a Marxist is like being a Christian: that it doesn’t count unless you announce that you are. Nope. You are a marxist as soon as you believe in the marxist things. Call yourself whatever you want and it doesn’t change a thing.
If Obama wages war on the Catholic Church his re-election will be doomed. The birth control mandate was one thing, you start messing with the Church’s money you will be in a world of hurt.
BHO is no different than any other despot, with one exception he hasn’t started the whole sale jailing and murdering of dissidents. (yet)
We have no conservative leaders in congress STARWISE, all we have are Boehner and McConnell who maybe will give a mild, low key harrumph once a month and then back to business as usual.
Obugger is crusing into a world of hurt. He is just asking the Lord to strike him.
we seem unable to stop it. There SHOULD be an outcry from media
this is really scary
and I don’t know what to do. Too many people are ok with this
WHY?
Rejoice and get used to it, if you're waiting for your King to come.
It’s rare I go up against FR conventional wisdom here. But, this(the Vatican bank scandal which has been going on for over a year that I know of) is something I have been following for several years now. Its very possible there is a lot more to the money laundering aspect of what the Vatican bank was doing.
And if what I read over at the Dark Cabal/White Hats Reports is even close to the truth the last thing the regime would want is for zero to get caught with loads of bucks at the Vatican Bank which is what you read over at the White Hats reports.
I have no clue whether any of the following is true or not but it is something I have been following for some time and when Glen Beck brought it up during an interview with Santorum(in a degrading sarcastic manner I might add) today it just kind of struck a nerve with me.
I’m not saying the dear leader would not go after the Catholic Church. He would. As well as any church that is not muslim or islamic. I have no doubt he would because in this case he may have ulterior motives for dosing so.
Check out the following links and judge for your self.
Its a lot of reading but if nothing else it will challenge many beliefs you and I have had.

The interesting thing about this list is that it is exactly the way school yard bullies wield their power.
As far as "occupiers" are concerned this is the Achilles heel. Please born again Christians, go to these camps and preach The Gospel. The Word of God is the one and only antidote to all of this. We must finally rise up as an The Army of God and go forth preaching The Gospel to these people until their minds and hearts spin with it. Then we can watch and see what The LORD will do.
We by the power of God when we go forth and preach The Gospel are "the stronger than he". Remember we fight not against flesh and blood. Let's take their soldiers away from them. It matters not how base they seem for it is such as the occupiers that can become soldiers in The Army of God. Let's stop wringing our hands but start acting upon faith and storm the gates of hell!
