Why weren’t Cloward and Piven arrested?
From personal knowledge, the watts riots were started by a protection gang,.
The buildings were premarked for those that paid and not to be burned and vandalized and those that wouldn't pay that were to be burned and vandalized (files and records destroyed).
After they were started it got out of hand and the black gangs started hitting all the businesses.
One building I rebuilt wasn't supposed to be hit and the owner was screaming his head off, “I paid, I paid I wasn't supposed to be harmed.
He showed me on the wall of the alley where his building was marked to be not hit and 2 other ones on the same block that had been marked and destroyed,.
Is history repeating itself?
Of course.
Just check Russia, ca. 1918.
Just because Communism failed in central Europe, it does not mean that it has ended...It has moved to the USA.
Back in the late 50s, when I was still a kid, I remember a program that came to Memphis.
It was called “None Dare Call it Treason”.
It was a rally held in the downtown auditorium to educate
Americans about Communism and how it was out to capture America.
While living in Slovakia, a few years ago, I remember the photos of Russian tanks rolling in.

The country’s already bankrupt. Obama’s just waiting for his moment to spike the football.

The only good Marxist is a dead Marxist.
I wonder if anyone notices or cares that Social Security receipts have declined the last 3 years.
From the WH’s own data:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/budget/Historicals/
Table 2.1
Actual s for total SS receipts
2008 - 900,155
2009 - 890,917
2010 - 864,814
2011 - 818,792
This is not due to the 2% reduction either. Congress injects (borrowed) funds in to offset that.
So? We have been in a recession - right?
The alarming part of this is that NEVER in the history of Social Security was there EVER a downturn in receipts. Even in the worst previous recessions. And certainly nothing anywhere near close to a 3 year running trend.
This metric alone tells us how fast the tables are turning.
And look at the projections for the next 3 years.
2012 - 840,650
2013 - 959,057
2014 - 1,038,701
There has not been 10% YTY growth since the late 1980s. The estimate for 2012 is probably overly rosy. But 2013 is pure fantasy.
The point of this being using the tables at the link above it easy to see the bankruptcy happening right before our eyes.

Ping for further study
Connecting some dots.
John Kerry -vvaw.
Works with/for Obama.
One degree of sep there.
Yes, history is repeating itself.
So I say, give them both barrels in the black propaganda dept.
Cloward-Piven.
It worked in the Soviet Union, as other former once great empires around the world.
Maybe we should connect the dots to rapacious banking practices and commodity swindles. You are not going to tell me that “marxists” created the debt instrument that miraculously got rated AAA then insured and sold around the world in an idiot scheme to “lessen exposure” by the blinkered expedient of assuming that risk spread out among more clients equated to a lessening of risk in toto. That just gave us a global collapse rather than a local collapse.
Let’s get some adequate target acquisition here. Those grasping, short sighted, dollar junkies were anything but “marxist”. They were capito-monopolist sociopaths in need of personal “regulation” by real Americans.
