Saul Alinsky's Chicago
Poletical.com ^ | March 15th, 2016 | T. Carter

Posted on 03/15/2016 8:30:35 PM PDT by PingPongChampion

In 1982, Judith Trolander argued that Alinsky's tactics of dividing and stirring conflict weren't successful in alleviating poverty and social crises in low income projects in Chicago where they were tried. Alinsky's tactics of creating “artificially stimulated conflict” have been criticized by social scientists for tearing apart communities that have thrived on unity and cooperation. Often, these communities couldn't be repaired following the application of Alinksy's destructive strategies.

What are these destructive strategies and how were they evident in Chicago at a Donald Trump rally on March 11?

Saul Alinsky was a community organizer and his famous book was an inspiration to America's 44th president, who followed almost identically in Alinsky's footsteps as a community organizer in Chicago before becoming an Illinois senator and then the principal occupant of the White House in 2008. The runner up to replace Barack Obama on January 20, 2017 for the Democratic Party is Hillary Clinton, another adoring fan of Saul Alinsky.

Alinsky just wanted to bring on the curse of Communism.

After the past eight years, I have come to hate the term: “community organizer.”

“Saul Alinski’s Chicago...”

“...is liberal’s wet dream. Where nobody has guns (except the government) and there is o such thing as an innocent bystander (which includes children).

This message was brought to you by the letters “D” “N” “C” and paid for by the blood of countless African-Americant’s. Because who who really giveS a Sh!t when their housing, utilities, Obama phones and everything else is paid for by somebody else?

This alignment between Marxism and Islam has been in the works for a couple of generations and it’s current incarnation is propelled mainly by Cold War inertia as post Soviet Russia sees its Frankenstein monster gyrating out of control. The left thinks Moslem terrorists will do the wet work for their “revolution” and they will emerge unscathed into a pagan utopia. It is an alignment requiring massive and transparent quantities of schizophrenic dementia which the quickly growing Trump demographic is not buying for an instant. Leftist “new age empaths” and their anarcho-trotskyite herders find themselves crawling in bed with throat slitting, genital mutilating, life hating zombies. This is a psychotic disconnect with reality and it’s going to bite them on the ass real soon. One more terrorist attack in the US and it’s game over, Trump in the White House and a Republican Congress. Obama’s “Arab Spring” may well have been engineered in the committee rooms of the Comintern’s ghost.

This Post Soviet inertia is under no one’s control, tho various factions ride its coattails. Bringing the beast down is going to require both finesse and a fist between the eyes. I want to see more press attacking the sanity of leftists who espouse pacifism, feminism and progressive jurisprudence who then erect insane cognitive barriers to protect them from what they actually witness in Moslem behavior. We need to roll out our best brains in psychology and social commentary to analyze this glaring contradiction between their espoused pacifist world view and their tolerance for proxy id monster gore fests.

And don’t forget it’s close cousin, the “Manufactured Crisis” that you never want to let go to waste . (Rham comes from Chicago too)

The Left exists to destroy. It creates nothing.
