Just A Reminder


The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

Cloward and Piven were a married couple who were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work.

The strategy was formulated in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine "The Nation" titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty"

I don’t think Obama is after the same end result as Cloward-Priven. Someone needs to look into the Black Panther Manifesto to see what I feel is Obama’s true goal. They advocated creating a new country within the borders of the US, and if Obama can manage to destroy our current USA via Cloward-Priven to achieve that goal then he will.
