“A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.” ~ Mao
We are currently in the midst of a battle for the heart and soul of America. This war is being waged at our schools, the workplace and in our communities. States struggling to moderate impossible debt and balance budgets are examining ways to free themselves from the fiscal and political shackles imposed by labor unions whose exorbitant pensions and benefits comprise the bulk of their debt. With the economy tanking and the fight over public union benefits and collective bargaining spreading across the United States, a totalitarian minority recognizes this as their make-or-break moment – their time to seize control of the social and economic environment by force rather than individual choice.
Hiding behind the labels of progressive, labor and social justice, this totalitarian minority is intrinsically linked with Communist, Socialist and Marxist ideologies. Their goal is to dismantle the foundations of our government and force the revolutionary transformation of America into their worldview. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), whose membership parallels the Congressional Progressive Caucus roster, describe their objective,
“To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy.” [Sound familiar?]
To accomplish their goal Socialists infiltrated leftist organizarions to the highest levels of leadership. The U.S. labor movement has a strong history of Socialist leadership but in recent decades members of the DSA gained control of the largest U.S. labor unions, AFCSME, SEIU and the AFL-CIO, creating a resurgence of militant communist/socialist views among their ranks. AFL-CIO Chief Richard Trumka recently admitted his main goal is using unions to fundamentally change America into his progressive vision.
The enemy is within and poised to destroy America. While speaking this past weekend in a closed session at the 2011 Left Forum, an annual gathering of Marxists and hard-left radicals that included Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, and Frances Fox Piven, former SEIU banking and finance director Stephen Lerner detailed the Left’s secret plan to “destabilize” the country. The full length video below reveals the depths to which the left are willing to go to seize control over the American economy. [H/T to The Blaze and Business Insider.]
“There are actually extraordinary things we could do right now to start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement….
“For example, 10% of homeowners are underwater, right? Their home, they are paying more for it then its worth. 10% of those people are in strategic default, meaning they are refusing to pay but they are staying in their home. That’s totally spontaneous. They figured out [that] it takes a year to kick me out of my home because foreclosure is backed up.
“If you could double that number you would you could put banks at the edge of insolvency again.
“Students have a trillion dollar debt.
“We have an entire economy that is built on debt and banks so the question would be what would happen if we organized homeowners in mass to do a mortgage strike if we get half a million people to agree it would literally cause a new finical crisis for the banks not for us we would be doing quite well we wouldn’t be paying anything…
“We have to think much more creatively. The key thing… What does the other side fear the most – they fear disruption. They fear uncertainty. Every article about Europe says when they rioted in Greece the markets went down. “The folks that control this country care about one thing – how the stock market goes, what the bond market does, how the bonuses goes. We have a very simple strategy:
- How do we bring down the stock market
- How do we bring down their bonuses
- How do we interfere with there ability to be rich…
“We are going to look at a week of civil disobedience – direct action all over [New York] city. Then roll into the JP Morgan shareholder meeting which they moved out of New York because I guess they were afraid because of Columbus.
“There is going to be a ten state mobilization to try and shut down that meeting and then looking at bank shareholder meetings around the country and try and create some moments like Madison except where we are on offense instead of defense.
“Where we have brave and heroic battles challenging the power of the giant corporations. We hope to inspire a much bigger movement about redistributing wealth and power in the country and that labor can’t do itself, that community groups can’t do themselves, but maybe we can work something new and different that can be brave enough and daring and nimble enough to do that kind of thing.”

Did you hear that? The radical Left is plotting to create socioeconomic chaos to build political momentum to push their revolutionary transformation. As U.S debt nears the tipping point of insolvency, they intend to strike at the heart of American capitalism by nationally expanding the agitation that triggered Wisconsin’s M&I Bank to shut down to avert a run on the bank after union firemen withdrew $192,000 in protest of the bank not succumbing to union demands to publicly oppose Gov. Scott Walker’s budget relief bill.
In other words, to force their will on the American people the Left is conspiring to commit extortion and economic terrorism by destroying the cash flow of banks nationwide in order to collapse of the financial system. If similar comments were said at a closed door Tea Party meeting, the speaker would be investigated as a threat to Homeland Security. Where are Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano? I hear crickets.

Good point. I'd like to read a comprehensive, well-sourced article detailing every aspect of damage the Left has achieved over the last century. I'll look into finding one. Thanks!
You are extremely accurate on that point. My bad! It's defintely the appropiate word choice.
Funny how they are called the “far left” but the description was of the American middle class who are being drained while the rich and the poor feel no pain whats so ever.
I hope the wealth of new information arms the people with the knowledge they need to prepare for what will come. I no longer believe if it will come, the line has been drawn in the sand and they will soon cross it. Que sera, sera.
Thanks for that link! I’ll peruse the archive tonight. I often forget it’s there since so many of my old bookmarks became invalid years ago. I miss the wealth of content this site generated in its early years.
Thanks for your kind response.
Reality often differs greatly from the truth and the Left has mastered false appearances.
No thanks are necessary. It was a honest reply. You’ve peaked my interest now. :)
Bump for later...
me bump too
I don’t believe the far left could ever pull this off on their own. But if the unions are being destroyed for the sole purpose of sending the middle class workers to the wolves, well all bets are off.
The desire to destroy America's capitalist system has endured for decades and the link between European Progressives and American Progressives is stronger than most realize. Every aspect of our society and culture has been infiltrated over the last several generations, "progressively" inching America towards socialism, the first step to communism. At this point in time they're so comfortable with their ideology and the potential for its success they no longer hide who they are. Look at the membership rosters of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Democratic Socialists of America. They mirror each other. The middle class is a tool to achieve their ends. If they succeed in their endeavors there will truly be two classes, the Haves and Have Nots. And guess who'll be in the former class? It won't be us.
Wont’ work. Note the tagline ...
BTTT
Let me see if I’ve got this right ...
The unions, the unemployed, leeches, students, et al, will rise up to DEMAND more tax money spent on them?
When just a few months ago, voters overwhelmingly threw out a bunch of bums for spending too much tax money? And the voters are primed to throw out even MORE such bums in 2012?
The voters won’t buy this socialist crap, IMHO. The Silent Majority will oppose any such “uprising” and will vehemently reject it if we keep them informed. Commies just hate strong sunlight, or so I hear.
Besides, talking things to death is now the American way. Action has become a quaint but forgotten tradition.
Not sure how this will play out. Maybe the pukes will gain some ground but I doubt it. And whatever ground they gain will become their burial plot.
In the meantime, buy a few more boxes of ammo and another 20 pounds of dried beans to store. Prudence and preparedness!
This guy needs to be subpoenaed before Rep. Darrel Issa’s committee and forced to testify about every detail of what he’s planning. Tomorrow morning!
Thanks for the link. It's a fitting companion link for this thread. I watched it over my vacation a few weeks ago [strange, I know] and it's an extremely informative video. Everyone should watch it!
Yes, you have that right. Reason long left the minds of the Left. I’ve given up trying to find a semblance of reasonable logic in anything they do.
But if they manage to stop the bank’s cash flow, especially the large banks, it will have the effect of crashing the stock market which is extremely tenuous in its response to day-to-day activity.
