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:

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, policymaking 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

>>Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Communist Comeystain has discredited the FIB and now there are calls to dismantle it altogether

[PGalt]

OUTSTANDING post; thanks,

[EQAndyBuzz]

Thank you for correcting that. Never happened to me before.

So, of the 45 Communist Goals, which have been realized? Funny, I look at these as Risk Management items and once they are realized they become issues.

“35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.” I think that is the latest one to hit us.

[SanchoP]

The FBI has been a political organization since it’s inception but it’s only a small portion of the terminal cancer DC has become.

[Fiji Hill]

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

On this issue, I agree with the Communists. Padlock the FBI!

Anyone who doesn’t have this book THE NAKED COMMUNIST by Cleon Skousen - GET IT! And read it. Excellent book outlining the goals of communists, socialists, fascists, etc. It was very difficult to find when I found it. My copy is a very old vintage copy. Now you can find it online at a very low price!
Everyone should read this book and Ayn Rand’s book WE THE LIVING... {about what it is like when communists take over your country}
and THE TRAGEDY OF AMERICA’S COMPASSION by Marvin Olasky {he explains how we got to this stage}

[Walrus]

The communists simply cannot pull off 50 separate revolutions; they can, however, accomplish ONE. This is why power must be returned to the individual states and the federal government returned to its original limited purpose.

[a fool in paradise]

How many times previously was a “former” Communist in charge while the head of the CIA was a “former” Communist while the Commander in Chief was a Marxist professor Communist-y Organizer who shed a tear in Cuba at a memorial for Che Guevara?

“4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.”

Fulfilled during the Bush-Clinton-Bush duopoly.

“6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.”

Achieved off and on during various U.S. administrations during and since the Cold War, including by that old “cold warrior” Richard Nixon. The excuses have always been “real politic” and expedient “practical” measures intended to put wedges between various communist states. I don’t believe history can demonstrate the measures ever produced satisfactory results.

“7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. “

Again it was Nixon the “cold warrior” who achieved this with Kissinger’s “help”, telling themselves it was “good” to chum up with the Communists in China because it would worry the Soviets. At the time China was no existential threat to Russia and showed no potential to be. It aided Communist China far, far more than any lasting hurt to the Soviets.

“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”

It worked, until Ronald Reagan came along.

“9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.”

The success of that was off and on over the years.

“10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.”

Done, and it never should have been accepted in the west. Most of the Eastern European nations were never free to make their own way, internally or in international relations under the Soviets. Yugoslavia under Tito was an exception.

“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.) “

A still ongoing attempt by the Communists.

“12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.”

The nail in the coffin for such attempts was laid in the 1950s, and afterward academia most of all became the locale for indoctrination in the various Communist agendas.

“15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.”

Achieved, with the Dims. Obama - who is in reality a “Democratic Socialist” officially sent in to join the Democratic Party, was, the Marxists believed, their crowning achievement, with EVERYTHING about his election and administration handled as a coronation - a coronation of the Marxists agenda.

“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.”

That is an area of the Marxists GREATEST success. If their list of objectives were drawn up to put top priorities first, that objective would be at the top of the list, and many other items have depended on the success of that item, with often great success BECAUSE of the indoctrination of the sheeple via academia.

“19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.”

EVERY “anti-war” “protest” movement has had the Marxists at the core of the organizations leading and organizing the protests. “Liberal” groups have joined the “anti-war” “coalitions” due to their academic indoctrination by the Marxists, buying the Marxists line of thinking on the issues hook, line and sinker.

“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.”

Another signature achievement of the Marxists. That has been done essential via academia, where MANY die hard Marxists operate in plain sight, preaching Marxist positions wearing a “Liberal” label for themselves, training the succeeding generations of folks who will work in the communications media.

“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.”

In academia the “deconstruction” movement born from taking a Marxist dialectic approach to all matters of culture created the cultural Marxism agenda. It even entered the formal Christian schools of theology, so as to appear that the changes being wrought in Christian institutions came about internally, and not by the totally outside force that Marxism is. THAT agenda is still working and continuing to succeed today, even in such Conservative bastions as the Southern Baptist Conference.

“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.”

One word - Obama. Bingo!!
