“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
– Saul Alinsky, “Rules for Radicals: A Practical Primer for Realistic Radicals,” p. 126
As the amnesty debate rages on, one has to ask: Why is it so important to this criminal administration to give a license to illegals to come into America? While most Americans are under the delusion that people favor this administration, the real question is, who exactly supports Barack Hussein Obama? Let’s go down memory lane and recollect just who (so you’ve been told) gives him all this support.
If you remember correctly, CNN’s president resigned last year due to the low viewership it received. Maybe this will shed some light as to why he resigned: Amber Lyon, former news anchor for CNN said she was ordered to report fake stories, delete unfriendly stories adverse to the Obama administration and construct stories in specific manners while working for the left-wing network. Lyon said CNN is paid by U.S. and foreign governments for reporting on some events and not reporting on others. She also stated that the Obama administration pays for CNN content.
The New York Times actually blurted out the truth in their confusion (to their credit, I might add) that all information coming out of the Obama administration is first vetted.
Or what about MSNBC? I’m sorry I even have to bring them into the equation, but their slogan during the election campaign happened to be “Lean Forward,” which is directly derived from the communist playbook. MSNBC parades people like radical lesbian Rachel Maddow, the shameful uncivil rights want-to-be leader Al Sharpton and Chris “it’s a terrible place to be when you’re brains are in someone else’s head” Matthews.
MSNBC’s ratings can’t get any lower....

what this trouble maker Alinsky doesn’t get because of his lack of formal education, is that there is apparent authority (fro the office you managed to get into) and actual authority from the consent of the governed.
As the ruler of Romania found out, he had apparent authority, but very little actual authority. That is what the “rebels” in al quaida are finding out too.
Oh, he got it alright. He dedicated "Rules for Radicals" to Lucifer, who he now shares a room with.
They forgot to mention Saul Alinsky and all his money
I know satan, who masquerades as an angel of light, dictated the garbage to his protege saul (not Paul notice)
Good point. May our current leader’s actual authority from the consent of the governed grow less and less with each passing moment.
your post illustrates (literally) the hidden story
Alinsky graduated from the University of Chicago in 1930. He had a formal education.
oh well he should have been smarter than he turned out to be. commies and rabble rousers rate as stupid in my book
Good article, and clarifying. They have been astroturfingnforndecadrs, if not more. My father has a book published by HUAC in the 1950s called “100 Things You Should Know About Communism”, and that book described a communist technique to take over a meeting: They would send 4 people, and the four would sit near the four corners of the room, and when one would say something the others would echo it. That way it seemed as though support for the Communists’ position was spread throughout the group. Power is what your opponent thinks you have.
I have changed my tagline.
“....That way it seemed as though support for the Communists’ position was spread throughout the group. Power is what your opponent thinks you have...”
It has always been the vocal few, and a mass of idiots..

I used to see people reading his book in the 1960s and thought I was a pile dream fantasy of losers. Now that we have a President surrounded by a cabal that use this book, and a former First Lady/Secretary of State who lives by it as well, I think it is critical that we understand what he said so that we can understand their objectives. I don’t laugh at them or underestimate them any more because too many people in important positions use his writings as a playbook.
And this author is right. They manufacture crowds and crises every bit as much as the Nazis did with the Reichstag fire, with the intention of stoking passions on their side to overcome the vast majority that don’t especially think about it but intuitively disagree with the radicals’ agenda.
That is what they are trying to do with Trayvon Martin. If they managed to ct a deal with the RINOs and get their candidates into the Department of Labor, the NLRB and the new Dodd-Frank bank federal reserve-funded agency, imagine what they will try to accomplish on amnesty and a myriad of other issues while we have been tricked into focussing on riots in our cities.
Yes. Communists always speak about the revolutionary vanguard. By definition a vanguard is a tiny group with a unified vision who assume the role of elitists leading the nation forward. Fundamentally it is not democratic because it dismisses the opinions of most people as being the product of minds whose consciousness has not been “raised”.
Nicolae and Elena had quite a Christmas Day surprise in '89.
Yep
“..By definition a {vanguard} is a tiny group with a unified vision who assume ...”
I agree with the use, I only know the military application.
Here is one example I found via Google:
“[T]he vanguard fighters of the working class must be armed with a conscious strategy, a revolutionary program, and a revolutionary vanguard party. Revolutionary class consciousness of the necessity of socialist revolution and of the methods needed for victory develops in the working class only by means of building the revolutionary party.
“The working class cannot “spontaneously” develop towards revolutionary consciousness even under the most revolutionary conditions. Revolutionary consciousness develops only through the fight for the revolutionary party. Revolutionary consciousness will not appear “spontaneously” in a revolutionary situation and the revolutionary party cannot be improvised on the basis of this “spontaneous” consciousness. To base the strategy of the workers’ vanguard on this assumption in the 1990’s is criminal abstentionism. The socialist revolution is only made possible when the revolutionary party prepares the revolution: that is, when the preparatory period is used for the formation a Leninist vanguard party.”

“..the working class must be armed with a conscious strategy, a revolutionary program..”
This is real stuff, and “they” take it serious, thus they are winning...
