Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

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

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

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

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.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

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

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

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.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

[Arrowhead1952]

Time to repost this article.

[Arrowhead1952]

Mods, if this is in the wrong area, please move to appropriate forum.

[Vaquero]

Yes....I have reposted this in the past myself. it is a good thing to see.

would like to make every American see it.

[cripplecreek]

Always a good reference.

Read into the record by Florida congressman Herlong.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Now we need to start attaching this document to individuals in the Obama administration and the media.

Force them to publicly deny it. Them ridicule them for it.

That’s how you win wars.

[Vaduz]

Strange how the democrats have all most the same goals.

[FatherofFive]

The danger remains Communism.

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.

If I wanted America to fail

[Fiji Hill]

Note that this is not from a Communist publication but from an anti-Communist book, The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen (Salt Lake City, Utah: Ensign, 1958)--probably the 1961 or '62 edition. Nonetheless, it's an accurate summary of Soviet and Communist objectives at the height of Nikita Khrushchev's era of "peaceful coexistence."

[Cheerio]

I refer to this frequently and sometimes post a numbered reference. Wouldn't you all say that the Commies have been fairly successful since this reading into the Congressional record in 1963? Anyway to measure their success numerically? Have they achieved say 50% of their goals? Certainly control the media and the schools (all ed levels). Seems like they have their man in the people's white hut.

[MeshugeMikey]

“None Dare Call It Present Day Reality”....

[skinkinthegrass]

[The_Media_never_lie]

They have succeeded in many of their 1963 goals.

With the SRM's obsession with the queer football player being drafted, is one reason I posted this thread. Look at any thread with his name in it, and there are hundreds of replies. Meanwhile, our country is being flushed into the sewer.

Our national debt continues to climb, and my great grandchildren have already accumulated more debt than they will earn. But even FReepers are more interested in the queer than in the condition of the US. I posted on one thread, and it had nothing to do with the NFL draft. Here is my post on that thread:

Well, I took my dog outside when we came home from an early Mothers’ Day dinner. I told her to find her Frisbee my wife had put on a table about three hours earlier. She went straight to the table, stood on her hind legs and brought it to me. We played catch the Frisbee for about thirty minutes.

On the way home, my wife wanted me to stop at the local grocery store to get some flowers for her mother. I saw our new neighbor and told her I liked her new Lexus SUV since her son is driving and took her F250. I also asked when she was last carded, since our 28 yr old daughter gest that same treatment. She said within the past month.

I did it as total sarcasm, just to see if anyone would notice. Guess even FReepers think this one incident is more important to comment on this than the disaster 0 bummer has run our country in five years.

[Arrowhead1952]

Strange how the democrats have all most the same goals.

Another reason I posted this again. I think Rush was saying something about the millennial generation was posting something about "Go Full Communist" on Twitter.

[QT3.14]

The 'Spend, Spend, Spend' in the drawing is spot on.

It goes along with this:

"Fiscal policy of ever increasing budget, with deficit and accumulated debt, is fulfillment of the Marx-Lenin communist strategy."

~ General MacArther in his book 'Reminiscences’'

[The_Media_never_lie]

They have succeeded in many of their 1963 goals.
