The term “the great reset” is suddenly en vogue. For leftists, it’s shorthand for using the systemic change flowing from the world’s response to the Wuhan virus as a springboard for remaking the world in a leftist, greenie mold. Or as Rahm Emanuel said, never let a crisis go to waste.
The left has wanted to break the system for 55 years. Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, two professors of social work at Columbia University, first articulated the idea in a paper for The Nation, entitled, “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.”
Cloward and Piven found it disheartening that the poor failed to optimize the welfare benefits to which they were entitled (“it is not generally known that for every person on the rolls at least one more probably meets existing criteria of eligibility but is not obtaining assistance”). They claimed this wasn’t a flaw in the welfare system; instead, it was “an integral feature.”
The two socialists declared that any challenge to the system “would precipitate a profound financial and political crisis” – and they wanted that precipitation. By “a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls,” they intended to destroy the welfare system and force federal intervention. “The ultimate objective of this strategy [was] to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income.”
Since then, we apply the phrase “Cloward-Piven strategy” to any leftist plan that envisions breaking the system to remake the system.

Also known as the Cloward-Piven strategy of orchestrated crisis. As in the Cloward and Piven standing behind Bill Clinton at the Motor-Voter law signing ceremony. Hillary invites I am sure.

And that looks like Richard Cloward on her left (our right) in the lighter gray suit, gray hair, and glasses.
Has anyone performed the mathematics of “55 years”? Do you know when that was, and who was doing what?
Lezz zee, hmmm , 55 years, eh?
This is 2020. 2020 minus 55 equals ..... 1965. Right?
Who was doing something, then?
It was the 2nd year, of the 1st full term, of Lyndon Baines Johnson. What was he doing? He was in full swing of his giant project, “The Great Society”. This was the reincarnation of the Democratic Plantation. You know, where he said that he would “them folks” vote Democrat for the next hun’nerd years.
SumOfUs is yet another NGO moving up the ladder:
19 Nov: EU Reporter: NGOs call on the European Central Bank to stop funding fossil fuels
By EU Reporter Correspondent
NGOs 350.org, ***SumOfUs, Reclaim Finance as well as Greenpeace have written to the European Central Bank (ECB) to demand that it stops supporting fossil fuel companies as part of its developing response to COVID-19. The letter comes three weeks ahead of the ECB governing council meeting of 10 December, where governors are expected to ramp up the Bank’s economic stimulus measures...
SumOfUs campaigner Leyla Larbi said: “Funding a “green” recovery and also funding the most climate-destructive companies around makes no sense at all. The European Commission’s Green Deal action plan is clearly being undermined by its own Central Bank, and that’s why more than 166,000 people across Europe are petitioning the ECB to change. The ECB can end all support to fossil fuel companies and support green investments with a green TLTRO programme.”...

As my wife continues to say, “what are we supposed to do about it?” I get it. They keep coming for us as our defender champions dwindle. I don’t see this ending any way but slavery or war. Those of us who fight will be fighting for future liberty. We will pay the price in blood. Will future generations care?
Motor Voter Signing Ceremony

Piven left, Cloward right
The positioning of Cloward and Piven show that the Moter Voter law was designed to crash the system, just like the election fraud.
If the Laws are followed and we do have President Trump for 4 more years, he MUST require a cleaning of the voter rolls in every state.
bump
The half-baked Halfrican Obama bought into Cloward and Piven's cockamamie thinking bigtime.
As a community organizer, Obama sued banks for not giving mortgages to people on welfare, disability, who were jobless.
As president, Democrat Obama sued banks for burdening poor people with mortgages they could never expect to repay.
fauXi MADE this virus.
CDC MADE certain there was NO HCQ to combat this virus.
together they have murdered 200,000 Americans.
WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEIR VIRUS
THAT THEY MADE KNOWING IT WAS ... A WAR CRIME?????
Bkmrk
Will we at least get to choose which forced labor camp provides our wonderful “government job”?
An idea so stupid that only an intellectual would believe in it.
