The possibility of a Muslim infiltrator at the paper should be considered.
Thank You ... Your response was concise and my thought is the same as yours.
Alinsky tactics call for undermining authority unilaterally. We as a society are trained to think of authority as governmental, but society has other authorities as well.
Think about the voices that have been undermined in recent years, and how and why these ‘social authorities’ have lost credibility: the church; the mainstream media; the military; local police; unions; schools; charities; wealthy individuals; corporations; small businesses; banks, etc, etc.
The point is not that there are bad players in some of these arenas. The point is that (as happened in the early part of the last century) by undermining society’s faith in everything, you can fill that emptiness with something of your own making.
That is the danger today. That is what we see happening.
