Hanson basically lays out the Cloward-Piven strategy here. I imagine he knows the name, but seems reluctant to use the term. Maybe “Cloward-Piven” is just something that the tinfoil hat brigade believes in and VDH doesn’t want to be associated with it. But, clearly, he’s watching Cloward-Piven unfold. No tinfoil required.

"Cloward and Piven aren’t some fringe whack-jobs who nobody outside the furthest reaches of left-wing polics follow. In 1996, President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. Both Cloward and Piven were at the signing, being personal guests of President Clinton.

During the 1990s, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani attempted to expose the strategy. As his drive for welfare reform gained momentum, Giuliani accused the militant scholars by name, citing their 1966 manifesto as evidence that they had engaged in deliberate economic sabotage. 'This wasn’t an accident,” Giuliani charged in a 1997 speech. “It wasn’t an atmospheric thing, it wasn’t supernatural. This is the result of policies and programs designed to have the maximum number of people get on welfare.”
