Has Obama adopted the Cloward-Piven Stategy as National Policy?
February 2, 2010 | Art in Idaho

Posted on 02/03/2010 9:03:28 PM PST by Art in Idaho

The tsunami of spending this last year is only going to get worse. Obama recently announced a proposed budget request of $3.8 Trillion that was sent to Congress for the fiscal year that begins on October first. His budget forecasts a deficit of roughly $1.6 trillion. Obama says he plans to slash it in half by 2014 through a combination of tax increases on wealthy Americans, and cuts in domestic programs.

There was a 700% increase in spending in Obama's first year. In the next ten years, Obama will be spending 44 times the previous 10 years:

Who knows what next year’s budget will bring, and the year after. This looks like an exponential pattern to me.

Is all of this the culmination of the liberals dream of destroying our great America? A progressive plan to destroy the greatest country on earth, the bastion of Western Civilization, the cradle of capitalistic free enterprise and change it to a socialist/communist country?

Cloward and Piven outlined their theories in the 60’s. One of my favorite quotes from them: "And as Cloward and Piven made clear, the true purpose is not even to help those groups, (welfare, voting, housing and immigration) but rather to duplicitously enlist them as part of an offensive to collapse our society from within!" Great . .

"The 'Cloward-Piven Strategy' seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse." Sound familiar? . .

Alinsky: "The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one."

. . and the topper: "To achieve their revolutionary change, Cloward and Piven sought to use a cadre of aggressive organizers helped by friendly news media to force a re-distribution of the nation's wealth." Gee, I thought he was just a community organizer. . . uh, er, No, now he’s the Organizer POTUS!

From Dick Morris: “Obama is being disingenuous when he says that the budget deficit he faced “when I walked in the door” of the White House was $1.3 trillion. He went on to say that he only increased it to $1.4 trillion in 2009 and was raising it to $1.6 trillion in 2010. Congressman Joe Wilson might have said “you lie,” but we’ll settle for “you distort.”

Here are the facts:

In 2008, Bush ran a deficit of $485 billion. By the time the fiscal year started on October 1, 2008, it had gone up by another $100 billion due to increased recession-related spending and depressed revenues. So it was about $600 billion at the start of the fiscal crisis. That was the real Bush deficit.

But when the fiscal crisis hit, Bush had to pass TARP in the final months of his presidency which cost $700 billion. Under the federal budget rules, a loan and a grant are treated the same. So the $700 billion pushed the deficit — officially — up to $1.3 trillion. But not really. The $700 billion was a short term loan. $500 billion of it has already been repaid.

So what was the real deficit Obama inherited? The $600 billion deficit Bush was running plus the $200 billion of TARP money that probably won’t be repaid (mainly AIG and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). That totals $800 billion. That was the real deficit Obama inherited.”

It seems to me Obama is following the Cloward-Piven strategy to the T, right out of their writings. Now their mantra is to “spend our way out of this mess.”

Read these and tell me what you think. Is Obama following the Cloward-Piven rule book and is this now official White House National Policy? It sure sounds like it to me. Oh course, he will deny it, but as Krauthammer says, “It’s not what he says, it’s what he does.”

“This time-line should be forwarded to Bill O’Reilly, who likes to dismiss Obama’s relationship with Ayers precisely as Obama himself does.”

O’Reilly was forwarded a copy when I finished putting the entire timeline together originally (this is an excerpt) which was back in Sept./Oct. 2008.

So...what does THAT tell you?

That tells you that Bill knows ALL of this information. I figure Bill has to be a little careful so he and FOX News can stay on the air.

O’Reilly did do something “Bold and Fresh” this evening. When it came to the segment at the end of the show when Bill reads email from fans, he read one (text appeared on the screen) in which the fan said that the reason Obama’s agenda is so screwed up is because he [Obama] is putting the pieces of his New World Order into place.

Bill did not pooh pooh this email at all...which, to anyone who watches him regularly he would have normally done. So, I took that to be a signal Bill agrees with the opinion that was expressed in that email.

George Soros is a Hungarian Jew, and is a deranged hardcore leftist & socialist & hater of both America & Israel. Besides the destruction of the U.S. his other great desire is to see the nation of Israel destroyed and driven into the sea by the muzzlims.

I am very curious....why has Mossad never taken out this committed enemy of Israel who wants more than anything to see Israel destroyed? If Mossad can hunt down & kill every Palestian terrorist from Munich 1972......

Interestingly, in the summer of 1981 the U.S. State Dept. was not allowing AMERICAN citizens to travel to Pakistan.

That statement isn't true. It has been debunked many times on FR. There was a Travel Advisory which does not prevent anyone from traveling to the country under the advisory.

Weren’t Cloward AND Piven both in the Oval Office for a photograph on Immaculation Day?

I’m pretty sure they were.

It would be interesting to know if Obama was a student of Cloward and/or Piven during his time at Columbia.

Yes. This is treason and a de facto declaration of war against us all. To those who say 'the free market failed,' I respond with, "It didn't fail - it was pushed down the stairs."

Then, if they're still listening, I tell them about the history of the CRA, and if they're stil lwith me after that, I tell them about Cloward-Piven.

It’s the only thing he knows and can comprehend. The astonishing thing is that it has worked in his life to the extent that he expects it to just keep on going and have the kind of media environment that made it possible continue to dominate even though it’s day has clearly passed.

I'm not sure I get your point about following the money? You mean Mossad & the Israeli govt are on Soros's payroll?

I don't know...I guess I realize that much of Israel political establishment is rabidly leftist & secular humanist, and so maybe they are on Soros's payroll and Mossad is neutered as well when it comes to taking out that commie bastard Israel hater Soros.

For the 78% of liberal dumb ass Jews in this country who voted for 0bozo and pretty much vote 80% for rat bastard demoRATs down the line, I can understand these traitors being on the take from Soros.

As an aside, do you or anyone on FReep know why the Jews in America vote so heavily democratic. I'm thinking they are Thanking God they're in the USA, they're family oriented, business oriented, pro-2nd Amendment, (at least the ones I know), so why do they vote for less freedom, higher taxes, more government rules and regulations, gun control, higher capital gains, death tax, socialized medicine and potentially a repeat of Fascism? I don't get it. . I'm serious, I've never really discussed it with the Jewish people I know. Someone enlighten me please. Thank You ahead of time.

Cloward and Piven’s final victory came on May 20, 1993, when President Clinton signed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 – commonly called the “Motor-Voter Act.” It ordered every state to provide resources enabling people to register to vote at state agencies, at the same time they applied for drivers’ licenses, welfare, Medicaid and disability benefits.

When President Clinton signed the bill, Cloward and Piven stood behind him, in tacit acknowledgment of their role in formulating the new law. Their work was now done. On June 2000, they dissolved Human SERVE, confident that the juggernaut they had set in motion could no longer be stopped.

Dennis Prager covered this:
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=30592

I’ll answer it too. Because of mid twentieth anti-Jewish policies in Country Clubs. Just as post-WW II Jews started moving to suburbia and became upwardly mobile the WASPy Country Clubs locked them out. Otherwise they would have become Republicans, just like all the other cultural groups making the great post WW II exodus to the suburbs.

The political opinion leaders are the very ones who most wanted to integrate into the ‘country club’ lifestyle. They really hated the rejection.

For the time being we will just have to take names and keep our powder dry.

When the SHTF it will be violent, bloody, and quick.

And this time, the good guys will win.
