I'm a natural skeptic, and depend on facts and reality, not fantasy. I take all kinds of conspiracy theories as mental junk food.
I look around at what's happening, the lunatic spending, the partying while our coastline is destroyed, the attempt to shut down energy production, and constant shovelling of money at the unproductive, the specter of new taxes on those who are already paying...
I can't disagree with what's so obvious. A lot of people seem to not want to imagine such a thing being done by our president, so they just don't think about it.

“Many on the left regard this hypotheses as gross exaggeration at best...”
What are they supposed to do, congratulate us on discovering their plans?
Sounds like the precursors of ACORN!
I don’t know why the idea that communists would go to great lengths to fell the US would be at all viewed as a “fantasy” or a “conspiracy theory.”
Especially when they will tell you, if you bother to ask them.
They have been screaming this at us for decades.
The only fantasy is the one that most Americans are living daily. They believe America is all-powerful, infallible and evergreen. They will laugh at you if dare try to explain that the hard left has infiltrated every level of our government as part of a bigger plan to destroy the American way of life.
The notion that communism is not a threat is the real fantasy, perhaps a fatal one.
Not sure what your point is, because I'm saying it's NOT a fantasy.
The so called “poor” criminals are going after gold “hoarders” too, as per Mother Jones. They want trial lawyers after Beck’s goldline company.

Posters there are calling to kill conservatives and people with gold.
I’m not trying to debate you. I’m agreeing with you, really.
Notice that every major work of socialism does not define what poverty is. Simply what the poor are not.
2- Every major work from Marx to Lenin, to Gramsci to Alinsky occu7pies itself not with solving the problem of raising the standard of living of the population. No, it is concerned with only one thing. How to attain power by the “socialist elites” and how to use the “poor” to advance “their” agenda. Since the days of Marx, the obsession of the left has been power and using class differences and class envy to attain it.
Yes, they were/is/are
ACORN grew out of George Wiley's National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), whose members in the late 1960s and early 1970s invaded welfare offices across the U.S. -- often violently -- bullying social workers and loudly demanding every penny to which the law "entitled" them. In the late Sixties, ACORN co-founder Wade Rathke was an NWRO organizer and a protegé of Wiley. Rathke also organized a draft-resistance campaign for the militant group Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) during the same period.Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)
In 1970 Rathke -- along with the aforementioned Wiley (who was best known for his effective use of the so-called "Cloward-Piven strategy") and Gary Delgado (a lead organizer for Wiley's NWRO) -- formed a new entity called Arkansas Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). The group's name was later changed to Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, but the acronym ACORN remained. ...
The perversion of charitable endeavors into a tool of power and manipulation by the radical left is simply dispicable.
This hypocrisy of the left is unbounded. Claiming to be freeing the dependent class from the grips of the corporate power, they have institutionalized welfare across generations. The left has exploited the entitlement psychology to the extent that the “poor” ironically vote en-masse for platforms that assure their dependcency upon fed-gov. This is called progressive.

Such self destructive policies advocated by socialists more and more make me wonder if there is an organic reason for their behavior.
Toxoplasmosis is a protozoa that infects many mammals. In mice and rats, it gets into their brain and causes a very specific neurological change: it makes them self destructive. In particular, it makes them attracted to the smell of cat urine—which they would normally strongly avoid. But the protozoa intends that the mouse or rat be killed and eaten by a cat, so that it, the protozoa, can infect the cat.
And once the protozoa infects a cat, through its feces it often spreads to humans. So much so that about 11% of Americans are infected with it, likely having some protozoa in their brains.
As such, while it would be interesting to see if infected people are attracted to the smell of cat urine, more to the point, does this infection translate to a general mind set of self destruction? And not just destruction of the self, but destruction of society, and one’s nation? That is, it is not a perfect fit for the human brain, since there are few big cats to eat people, but perhaps the element of self destruction remains. That they want to die so that the protozoa can be spread.
If so, this would explain much of the bitter anti-Americanism of many of the left. People who crave the damage and even destruction of their home with a bizarre passion. Who hate their fellow citizen, and even crave death for most people.
It is noteworthy that people with such destructive intent are much better at tearing things down than building them up, so once they have destroyed what is good, their replacement fails in all regards.
But could the root cause be a protozoa that has damaged their brain?
It was the communist Saul Alinsky who created the concept of a “Community Organizer”.
The war on poverty has no exit strategy. They keep throwing more money at expanded programs to get more people sucked in to dependency.
The only way to stop this is to defund the federal government so it has no welfare money to pass out. And in the process, cut federal jobs that administer the welfare.
I have no problem with helping the truly needy. But poor people today have cars, cell phones, color tv and cable. Plus they eat very well. These are not poor people.
These people are mooches using class warfare as an excuse to break down society.
Poverty is a relative term. You cannot wage war on what cannot be defined except arbitrarily which means it’s meaningless anyway. America has the wealthiest poor in the world. Everything is relative. American poor have the highest standard of living among the poor in the world. All the term poverty is as a tool to evoke class envy as it has throughout history. To play one group against another. Poverty is also a parallel culture and mindset that shackles one group in their position relative to other groups. The problem is that the poor in this country have no clue how well they have it. Socialism is a farce because it has no definitions. It’s all about concepts to which there are no solutions. Poverty, justice, fairness. At what level do we ameliorate any of these things? Who defines these terms?
Is it time for another House Committee on Un-American Activities?
We’re in more danger from all these subversive organization than in the 50s!
Yes, and they are willing to die to make it happen. I hope we are willing to die to prevent it.
I'm reading Whittaker Chambers' "Witness." I recommend it to everyone. Besides being a LITERATE book, it's a frightening look at the dedication and suicidal intent of Communists.
