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

Interesting.

[netmilsmom]

I would love to send this to all Libs in my family and ask them to please redefine themselves as Communists and move to an appropriate country.

[Ptarmigan]

Dude, this sounds scary. Makes you wish for another Augusto Pinochet or Park Chung-hee.

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

Mission accomplished on that one. .....and on so many others.

[joesnuffy]

If our enemy can destroy two vital institutions in America they will win

1. First is The Traditional Christian Family

2. Second Supreme Court Judges...

If they get the first they can destroy the 'internal policeman' each citizen must have to live free and be a good partner Democracy flourishes...if the internal policeman is never allowed to develope then Democracy will destroy the USA

If they get the second then the Constitution will be done away with...they can use the excuse of citizens who cannot handle freedom and have no internal locus of control to usurp the Constitution in favor of protecting citizens which is also their duty...

its a one two punch..

imo

[Gucho]

Good post and should be made available to all our citizens more often.

Thursday, January 10, 1963 - 41 years ago - Where were our watchdogs? Warned - yet ignored -

With so many of the items coming about - it's hard to believe the goals aren't being followed/carried out by people/groups in this nation - (And in high places)

How about someone send this to President Bush - and get his thoughts on it - Is this "his" view of America - He seems to agree with some of the goals and has backed them - I wonder if he had any idea of the true "reason" behind the moves -

Of course - from recent and past actions - The major media appears to be one of those working for the goals - maybe even one of the "leaders" -

I hope all of Congress takes note - but with the China issues - it may already be too late -

just thoughts - took 41 years - perhaps a step plan to reverse the harm wouldn't hurt -

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

Lessee, in 2004 the democrat party ran someone for president who, thirty years earlier, was a known collaborator with the Communist enemy. Hmmmm...

[SE Mom]

In another lifetime (my school days) my 7th grade geography teacher explained to us that Social Security was a pyramid scheme and would eventually fail- in our lifetime. He also discussed many of the ideas on this list. He was able,in simple language,to get into our heads not only the impracticality of communism- but show us how everything about it was opposite our Constitution and destructive of liberty and freedom.

I've never seen this list before- but it seems familiar because of the wisdom of my teacher.

Here's a side-note. My schooling was in New England- Massachusetts to be precise! I'm a babyboomer, and when I was growing up New Englanders were an independent and self-sufficient bunch. The word welfare was used in ref to safety or general health. If a family was in trouble financially, the doctor wouldn't charge them for visits, the bank would let the mortgage go a few months, and the church would make sure the kids were fed and cared for. This almost never happened- New Englanders were hard and honorable workers.

When I go home now, I keep looking to see these people, hoping they're still there...hoping against hope. I'm sure in some little villages, pockets of sanity are still there...I just don't see them.

This list is sobering.

The underlying purpose here was to demolish the traditional society which was seen as the main impedement to implementing a true communist program. In the intervening years they have accomplished much of what they set out to do in 1958 and earlier.

[SpaceBar]

We need a new Senator McCarthy.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

Well, we actually owe the Red Chinese quite a bit of money these days, something I don't believe that even our most pessimistic folks in the 1950s would have ever guessed we would ever be in debt to the Chicoms.

It appears that they also missed shipping our industrial base over to the Chicoms.

[John Robertson]

Question: Is this for real? I mean, really really real? It sure seems official, yes. But it also seems a little too neat and convenient, for our side. I've seen it crop up in many venues over the years, and every time I read it, I find myself saying Yes!, Yes!, Yes!...uh, wait a minute. This is not a challenge. This is a question.

[desherwood7]

This is scary. But I have a question for anybody out there. Did they mention anything about taking control of the Police departments?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Faaascinating.

[calcowgirl]

Last night, I found a clipping of this same list in the FBI FOIA Abscam files.
The data was collected about 1982.
( http://foia.fbi.gov/abscam/abscam2f.pdf, p.3-4)

The list is eyeopening. Thanks for posting.

[dufekin]

Let's evaluate the progress.

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
FAILURE; DISPROVED BY RONALD REAGAN
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
UNSURE; DUBIOUS
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
FAILURE; DISPROVED BY RONALD REAGAN
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
NOT RELEVANT; SOVIET UNION COLLAPSED; SATELLITES INDEPENDENT; GEORGE H-W BUSH, SR.
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.)
BEING REVEALED AS IRRELEVANT WITH EACH PASSING WEEK
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

FAILED; FOUNDERS HUMANIZED BY REVEALED IMPERFECTIONS
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.
FAILED WILDLY; RUSSIA EMPHASIZED AS MUCH AS INDONESIA
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
SUCCEEDED PARTIALLY, ESPECIALLY UNDER LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON

SUCCEEDED OVERWHELMINGLY AND SOMEHOW UNFORTUNATELY.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
SUCCEEDED THANKS TO JIMMY CARTER.
