Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the Cloward-Piven Strategy seeks 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.

Very hard to believe that the current financial crises was not anticipated by responsible figures in government.

Related video and much easier to digest for most IMHO. The lefty tactics never change, as someone else mentioned communists are great chess players and play politics the same way.
They may be surprised that the opportunity has actually come; but... they know exactly how to “capitalize” on this catastrophe. Having a communist assume the presidency at a time of financial crisis assures the demise of America as we know it! Our culture, heritage and hope will be destroyed under a new Leftist regime.
Sad day for America.
This is also the method Saul Alinsky promoted, and BO loves Alinsky. In Alinsky’s words, “Society has good reason to fear the Radical. Every shaking advance of mankind toward equality and justice has come from the Radical. He hits, he hurts, he is dangerous. Conservative interests know that while Liberals are most adept at breaking their own necks with their tongues, Radicals are most adept at breaking the necks of Conservatives.” This is what Obama has in mind for conservatives...and Liberals won’t be treated much better.
“Very hard to believe that the current financial crises was not anticipated by responsible figures in government.”
Yes, here we are putting our shampoo in little plastic bags and stripping for the TSA expecting the next attack when the Gucci clad terrorists were in Washington and on Wall Street!
Go figure!
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the
populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to
safety) by menacing it with an endless series of
hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

If all Americans want is security, they can go to
prison.
They’ll have enough to eat, a bed and a roof
over their heads.
But if an American wants to preserve his dignity and
his equality as a human being, he must not bow his
neck to any dictatorial government.

Soros and his hedge fund pals are doing part of the strategy on the markets. Shorting, options and credit default swaps (CDS).
Options = Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
CDS = Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME)
Other strategies also running in tandem is ACORN vote theft.
Note in Cloward-Piven - open borders. HUD today said illegals account for 5 million mortgages that have blown up or are total fraud. I was amazed someone at HUD let that out.
We have been telling Bush and McCain for 8 + years about illegals.
The bombs, like Ayers SDS bombs, were set with CRA in lawsuits against banks files by Acord lawyers like...OBAMA, infiltrating Fannie and Freddie to sell off junk mortgages to infect banks and investment banks. Infect all banks on a global basis like a virus.
Followed by Soros and his hedge fund pals to pick off the companies one by one in cooridinated attacks - Countrywide, Fannie & Freddie, Bear Stears, Indy Mac, Lehman, Wachovia and on and on. They made tens of billions.
Now take down the markets. Followed by bringing dear leader on CBS, Fox and NBC to assure us.
The good news is we know what they are doing. I hope McCain-Palin also knows. This is going to get uglier.
The Communists of the 1930s became the professors of the 1960s and the students of the 1960s are now destroying our country. Stalin's plan worked. They are still on attack long after the Soviet Dream collapsed. Or did it?
Thanks for posting this.
The “American Thinker” article is quite detailed and has a lot more links. It also includes a chart which shows relationships and dollar flow between people and organizations (Obama, Soros, Ayers, ACORN, MoveOn, Woods Fund, etc.).
Soros made his first billion shorting the British Pound. He's plenty smart enough to crush the US economy in an attempt to get Obama elected. The FBI and the anti-terrorist police should be looking into this fast!
I can’t post this video often enough as the whole mess including the media for a socialist was predicted by Yuri Brezmenov the KGB defector in 1985. All of my friends got 2 copies.

This Orchestrated Crisis has gotten out of control to even the creators. And taxpayers got billed $700 billion + so far and many of us have lost much on investments. Maybe if we can prevent Obama and his thugs from taking over, the lessons learned might help clean house in DC. Few if any there work for the people.
Trade Soros to Putin for Georgia.
An amazing article. I think “Project Vote” was what BO came to Chicago with.
It is imperative that we have a swift counter movement and as suggested, “Clean out” the Lefties from Washington. After stopping the election fraud. It must happen now.
The subversives in Washington have sabatoged every administration since Reagan.
And the MSM with them.
Scary. And that reminds me. Reparations have already been paid.
