The Cloward-Piven Strategy is Alive and Well at the Border
Tennessee Eagle Forum ^ | Jun. 10, 2014

The flood of immigrants at our borders today is neither an accident nor a surprise. It is an extension of the Cloward-Piven Strategy - the goal of which has been known for 50 years.

In a 1966 article in Nation, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, sociology professors at Columbia University, wrote that capitalism should be collapsed by overloading the government with financial demands that could not be met.

The strategy is to collapse the financial system. The tactic is chaos. If a crisis does not exist, create one. The more chaos the better. The solution is always couched in empathetic words like "fair," "equal," "humane" and "just."

In 1967 Cloward and Piven founded the National Welfare Rights Organization to increase the numbers of people on the welfare rolls. Through a series of sit-ins, demonstrations, picket lines and occasional rock throwing, smashed glass and broken furniture they succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. By the 1970's there was one person on welfare in New York City for every two working in the private sector. The city declared bankruptcy in 1975.

Project Vote was formed to organize the voter's rights movement to take up the "unfinished business" of the 1965 Voters Rights Act. ACORN and Human SERVE were formed to expand on the work of the National Welfare Rights Organization.

Those three organizations began lobbying for the Motor-Voter law to swamp our voter rolls with names that would never vote, but whose names would be on the rolls so others could vote in their stead. When President Bill Clinton signed the bill in 1993 Cloward and Piven were standing behind him.

ACORN is the most prominent of the organizations formed by Cloward and Piven. President Barack Obama was ACORN's lawyer. They have received millions of dollars from the federal government and charitable organizations for working on the census, voter registration, affordable housing and other organizing efforts.

ACORN's biggest success was in lobbying for the expansion of housing on behalf of the poor. The financial collapse of 2008 can be traced to government decisions. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1979 required banks to make loans in poor neighborhoods. Under pressure from the Clinton White House in 1999, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lowered their credit standards on mortgages. Proposals by the Bush Administration to put Fannie and Freddie under closer supervision were opposed by Democrats in Congress.

In response to the chaos created by the financial meltdown, $2 trillion was spent saving Wall Street from their own bad decisions, covering the salaries of public union employees and expanding welfare and unemployment benefits. The shovel ready jobs that were promised are still undone so the Left demands more spending.

After dozens of ACORN employees were indicted on charges of voter fraud, their funding dried up and they were disbanded.

Today, in keeping with the Cloward-Piven Strategy, a new crisis is being manufactured by President Obama. There is chaos at the Southern border.

Two years ago the president stopped deportation efforts of young immigrants who came to the country illegally. We have had active programs in Mexico informing those who come to our country how to apply for food stamps. The welcoming word is out regarding illegal entry also.

The New York Times reported last week that an illegal immigrant youth said: "If you make it, they take you to a shelter and take care of you."

A mother with her child told Channel 5 News that the message being disseminated in their country is, "go to America with your child, you won't be turned away."

Amazing how on the heels of the overwhelming success of World War 2, with everything going our way, this country self destructed in the 1960s.

What did people think “Build Back Better” really meant?

Those who read history about the collapse of a society might sometimes stop to consider, "I wonder what this societal collapse looked like from the inside, during the multiple decades of decay during which it took place, and in its final rapid implosion?"

We are living in that situation, but day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, there is so much "noise" in the curve of the decline that it can be hard to see clearly. We have to step outside and think of what the last 50 years will look like to a historian two hundred years hence in 2224.

Assuming there are still any historians around at that time, of course.

Just in time for this...

US federal budget crosses grim milestone as interest payments overtake defense spending
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4239278/posts

Not sustainable. Likely not even recoverable without divine intervention.
(or something less pleasant...)
We’ve seen this happen to too many other countries.

And Biden’s handler’s just had him let go of the last of our strategic reserves,
the TV says.

Madness, coupled with global genocidal malfeasance.

The population mass reduction goal announced by the Georgia Guide Stones
seems increasingly achievable by the whack jobs running the asylum our
Nation is being turned into.

Pray, and whatever comes next...
Do Not Comply.
