This is how I gauge some of the news reports, even when they are true reports, they will often follow one of these plans:

Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an
ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently
published
the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the
public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous
consent,
the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an
excerpt
from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic
war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic
war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States
would
be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist
affiliation
and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist
domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of
Khrushchev’s
promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under
supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United
States has
agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is
rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its
own
independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can
be
taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two
centers
compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American
institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for
socialism
and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of
teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or
organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments,
editorial
writing, policy making positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of
artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate
all
good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward
and
meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to
promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship”
and
a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography
and
obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal,
natural,
healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social”
religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual
maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the
schools on
the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and
state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate,
old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to
cooperation
between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish
aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching
of
American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the
“big
picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists
took
over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any
part
of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental
health
clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation
of
the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social
agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which
no
one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a
means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist
goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and
easy
divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative
influence of
parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children
to
suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate
aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest
groups
should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political
or
social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are
ready
for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent
the
World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the
World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional Record back this far has not be
digitized and posted on the Internet.
It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal
repository. Call them and ask them.
Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent
source
of government records.
Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than
happy to
help you in this matter.
You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at
this
point.
