“The Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917 ushered in the beginning of absolute totalitarianism and mass genocide. It was the model or template that was used by other totalitarians to follow including Nazi Germany and the Communist Chinese.
But unlike other horrific historical periods, the Soviet genocide was covered up by Marxists in the West who embraced a new ideology to produce a new egalitarian state, one that used class as the defining criteria to put people to death.
Unfortunately, they are still very much in control of the socialist part of this agenda, and are as active as ever on campuses, the media, and in government, now they are in the White House.
This failed ideology is as pernicious and influential as it was over 100 years ago. Unlike National Socialism, egalitarian socialism maintains its presence in various forms in all Western nations…”

Antonio Gramsci
Antonio Gramsci, Italian Communist:
Gramsci realized that the West, due to its prosperity, its increasingly wide access to education and opportunity, social mobility, and its readiness to repair injustices (due to its Christian morality), would never be amenable to a violent proletarian socialist revolution. So he came up with Plan B, which is often termed "Gramscian tactics," or ‘Fabian Socialism’ achieved by cultural subversion.
“The civilized world has been saturated with Christianity for 2000 years,” Gramsci wrote, “and a regime grounded in Christian beliefs and values could not be overthrown until these roots were cut.”
I. (Encyclopedia Britannica)
Lenin thought always in terms of world revolution and he died in the expectation of a global victory.
In his, ‘Imperialism, the Last Stage of Capitalism’ (1917), he had extended class warfare into an inevitable conflict between European imperialism and the colonial peoples involved.
Lenin was influenced by the English historian J .A. Hobson's, ‘Imperialism, a Study,’ (1902), which alleged that decadent capitalism was bound to turn from glutted markets at home to exploit the toil of "reluctant and unassimilated peoples."
But, as observed by classical, medieval, and modern constitutionalist political philosophers, authoritarian regimes suffer the tensions of all autocracies.
Marx himself might have thought that such planned autocracies had made the worst of his revelation, which was to lead to an unplanned, classless utopia.
Other Marxist approaches. Many Marxist revisionists tend toward anarchism, stressing the Hegelian and utopian elements of his theory. The Hungarian Gyorgy Lukacs, for example, and the German Herbert Marcuse, who fled from the Nazis to the United States, have won some following among those in revolt against both authoritarian "peoples' democracies" and the diffused capitalism and meritocracy of the managerial welfare state.
Lukacs' "History and Class Consciousness" (published in Hungarian, 1922), a neo-Hegelian work, claims that only the intuition of the proletariat can properly apprehend
the totality of history.
But world revolution is contingent, not inevitable, and Marxism is an instrument, not a prediction. Lukacs renounced this heresy after residence in the Soviet Union under Stalin, but he maintained influence through literary and dramatic criticism. After
Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin, Lukacs advocated peaceful coexistence and intellectual rather than political subversion.
In his, ‘‘The Meaning of Contemporary Realism (trans. 1963),’ Lukacs again relates Marx to Hegel and even to Aristotle, against the Stalinist claim that Marx made a radically new departure. Lukacs' neo-Marxist literary criticism can be tendentious, but his neo-Hegelian insights, strikingly expressed, have appealed to those anxious to salvage the more humane aspects of Marxism and to promote revolution, even against a modified capitalism and social democracy, by intellectual rather than by political means.
Marcuse also reached back to the more utopian Marx. Now that most of the proletariat has been absorbed into conformist managerial capitalism or has been regimented of
into bureaucratic peoples' democracies, freedom, argues Marcuse, is in retreat.
In Western affluent societies most employers and workers are equally philistine, dominated by the commercialized mass media, or "cogs in a culture machine."
The Soviet Union has reverted to an even more philistine monolithic repression, distorting art and literature.
This enslavement of man by his own industrial productivity has been clinched by the colossal power of governments, which renders the old brief and brisk class warfare a romantic, impracticable idea.
Marcuse attacked all establishments and transferred the redeeming mission of the proletariat to a fringe of alienated minorities: radical students and the exponents of the "hippie" way of life, as well as to Viet Cong guerillas and Black Power militants. Such groups, he declared, could apparently form liberating elites and destroy the managerial society.
Thus re-appeared the old Marxist-Hebraic pattern of redemption through struggle by a chosen people.
The Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci deployed a vivid rhetorical talent in attacking existing society. Like Marcuse, Gramsci was alarmed that the proletariat was being assimilated by the capitalist order and flung himself into the current controversy between social democrats and the radical revolutionaries.
Gramsci took his stand on the already obsolescent Marxist doctrine of irreconcilable
class war between bourgeois and proletariat. He aimed to unmask the bourgeois idea of liberty and to replace parliaments by an "implacable machine" of workers' councils, which would destroy the current social order through a dictatorship of the proletariat.
"Democracy," he wrote, "is our worst enemy. We must be ready to fight it because it blurs the clear separation of classes."
Not only would parliamentary democracy and established law be unmasked, but culture, too, would be transformed. A workers' civilization, with its great industry, large cities, and "tumultuous and intense life," would create a new civilization with new poetry, art, drama, fashions, and language.
Gramsci insisted that the old culture should be destroyed and that education should be
wrenched from the grip of the ruling classes and the church and run under the direction of workers' councils.
But this militant revolutionary was also utopian. Gramsci turned bitterly hostile to Stalin's regime, for he believed, like Engels, that the dictatorship of the workers' state would wither away. "We do not wish," he wrote, "to freeze the dictatorship."
Following world revolution, he wrote, a classless society would emerge, and mankind would be free to master nature instead of being involved in a class war.
Since World War II, Gramsci's notions have enjoyed a minor revival. They appeal to the fringe revolutionaries who admire Marcuse and detest the ‘bourgeoisement’ of an idealized proletariat.
But, in a civilization in which, if total war can be avoided, material prospects are good, the destruction of the old culture out of rage, envy, and naive idealism appears to be a pointless program.
II. Gramsci: Raising the American Taliban
Gramsci realized that the West, due to its prosperity, its increasingly wide access to education and opportunity, social mobility, and its readiness to repair injustices (due to its Christian morality), would never be amenable to a violent proletarian socialist revolution. So he came up with Plan B, which is often termed "Gramscian tactics," or ‘Fabian Socialism’ achieved by cultural subversion.
‘The civilized world has been saturated with Christianity for 2000 years,’ Gramsci wrote; and a regime grounded in Christian beliefs and values could not be overthrown until these roots were cut.
Capitalism, Gramsci suggested, maintained political, economic, and ideological control through a hegemonic culture in which the values of the ‘bourgeoisie’ (‘Bourgeoisie’ is an European term, as is ‘proletariat,’ ‘capitalist,’ and ‘communism.’) became the 'common sense' values of all…a consensus culture in which people in the working-class identified their own good with the good of the ‘bourgeoisie,’ and maintained the status quo rather than revolt from it.
Thus, to Gramsci, consummate subversive that he is, Western "hegemonic culture" is the enemy even more so than ‘the ruling class’ that supports it.
Defeating Western culture, his primary goal, could not be done with guns. It required a "long march through the culture" to slowly discredit and undermine its institutions, values, and foundations.
This was a brilliantly destructive idea.
Eventually, the society would fall apart, opening the way to totalitarian socialism. And the State must lead the way through its courts, schools, and importantly, its system of taxation which must redistribute wealth and purchase the power base that will forge new alliances hostile to the old order. All these factors must play their part to change society.
Gramsci taught that Western bourgeois cultural values were tied to Christianity and therefore much of his polemic against hegemonic culture is aimed at Christian norms and values.
Gramsci was impressed by the power of Roman Catholicism over men's minds and the care the Church had taken to prevent a gap between the religion of the learned and that of the less educated. (??)
Gramsci believed that Marxism should marry the purely intellectual critique of religion found in Renaissance humanism to the elements of the Reformation that had appealed to the masses.
Gramsci inspired:
attacks on Christianity
the family
individual freedom
morality and moral judgments
multiculturalism
cult of victimhood
"tolerance"
political correctness
Green movement
The role of family, religion, individual responsibility and even choice would be replaced with government rules, laws, and regulations. The expansion of the State into the Welfare State and the Nanny State - where we would be cared for ‘from cradle to grave’ – would rule with a velvet glove whose softness belies the iron fist within, for to resist the beautiful hell will invite brutal repression.
Nothing less than a revolution…
The traditions of Western Civilization must be repudiated and discarded.
Capitalism, with its notions of private property and individual competency must end.
Success, as a concept that emanates from individual self interest, must be redefined in terms of group interest.
Nationalism and Patriotism are incompatible with ‘the revolution.’
America and republican Americanism must be obliterated.
To achieve these goals Gramsci favored an incrementalist revolution, what British socialists termed ‘Fabian Socialism’ after the Roman General, ‘Fabius,’ (d. 203 BC), whose cautious delaying tactics of attrition during the early stages of the Second Punic War (218-201) gave Rome time to recover its strength and take the offensive against Hannibal. The Fabians put their faith in evolutionary Socialism rather than in armed revolution.
The Fabians at first attempted to permeate both the Liberal and Conservative parties with socialist ideas, but later organized the ‘Labour Representation Committee,’ which became the Labour Party in 1906. Socialism is the policy of the Labour Party.
Ultimately, suppression of the individual in favor of the collectivist utopia is the object of all socialist policy. It is the abandonment of the soul and spirit of Western Civilization. The 3,000 years of our culture is based on individual freedom, autonomy, initiative, self-interest, and the right to define oneself and determine your own direction. The Revolution can complete the seizure of political power only after having achieved "cultural hegemony," control of society's intellectual life by cultural means and the relocation of power and money.
They even reorder time by insisting use of the anti-Christian French Revolutionary calendar. Some publishers now insist upon secular dating of their publications with "B.C.E." (Before the "Common Era"- whatever that means) rather than "B.C." and "C.E." (the Common Era) rather than "A.D."
Anti-Christian phenomena such as the book and movie, ‘The DaVinci Code,’ turn the vary nature of Christ as Savior on its head. Indeed, one of the last sentences in The DaVinci Code reads, “…It is time to worship at the feet of the fallen one.”
Courts, including the Supreme Court, have declared most displays of the 10 Commandments "unconstitutional" despite the fact that the 10 Commandments are carved into the building that houses the U.S. Supreme Court.
Daily evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, everywhere is repeated the hymn, ‘Islam is the religion of peace’ yet Christianity is portrayed as the religion of hate, colonialism, and bigotry. Fundamental aspects of Christianity such as marriage, sexuality, and abortion are attacked by renegade Christian clergy, causing major schisms within the faith.

February 15, 2007 Cultural Marxism
By Linda Kimball
http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/02/cultural_marxism.html
There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. "The Sixties are dead," wrote columnist George Will ("Slamming the Doors," Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace' activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay' rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.
Birth of Multiculturalism
In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality-Frederich Engels wrote,
"All the...large and small nationalities are destined to perish...in the revolutionary world storm... (A general war will) wipe out all...nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes...but...reactionary peoples." ("The Magyar Struggle," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world's proletariat had not heeded Marx's call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the worker class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a "long march through the culture." Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his "Prison Notebooks," he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.
The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
The Prototype
In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary.
Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow.
Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.
Hungary's youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheistic) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.
Gramsci's prescription and Lukacs' plans were the precursor to what Cultural Marxism in the guise of SIECUS, GSLEN, and the ACLU--acting as judicially-powered enforcers--later brought into American schools.
Building a base
In 1923, the Frankfurt School-a Marxist think-tank-was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.
The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms.
It would provide the ideas on which to base a new political theory of revoltuion based on culture, harnessing new [discovered] oppressed groups for the faithless proletariat. Smashing religion, morals, It would also build a constituency among academics, who could build careers studying and writing about the new oppression.
Toward this end, Marcuse-who favored polymorphous perversion-expanded the ranks of Gramsci's new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs radical sex education and cultural terrorism tactics.
Gramsci's ‘long march' was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, now known in the West as multiculturalism.
Additional intellectual firepower was required: a theory to pathologize what was to be destroyed.
In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno's idea of the ‘authoritarian personality.'
This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America's traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
The pernicious influence of Adorno's ‘authoritarian personality' idea can be clearly seen in some of the research that gets public money.
"In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed.
Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives...suffer from ‘mental rigidity,' ‘dogmatism,' and ‘uncertainty avoidance,' together with associated indicators for mental illness." http://www.edwatch.org/ ‘Social and Emotional Learning" Jan. 26, 2005)
The Orwellian cast of the pathologies named shows how far Gramsci's long march has led us.
A corresponding and diabolically crafted idea is ‘Political Correctness.’
The strong suggestion here is that in order for one not to be thought of as racist or fascist, then one must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new' moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance - All major initiatives in the schools. Everything form curricula to playtime is arranged to comply with the new dogma.
Political correctness is a Machiavellian, psychological ‘command and control' device. Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior. ORWELL.
‘Critical theory’ is yet another psychological ‘command and control' device. As stated by Daniel J. Flynn,
"Critical Theory, as its name implies, criticizes. What deconstruction does to literature, Critical Theory does to societies." (Intellectual Morons, p 15-16)
Critical Theory is the ongoing and brutal assault upon traditional American culture and society via vicious criticism relentlessly leveled against Christians, Christmas, the Boy Scouts, Ten Commandments, our military, and all other aspects. The new, ‘Dialectic.’
Both political correctness and Critical Theory are in essence, psychological bullying. Cognitive dissonance; indoctrination, mind control, thought transfer, brainwashing, peer pressure.
They are the psycho-political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the Left.
These devious devices are but psychological versions of Georg Lukacs and Laventi Beria's ‘cultural terrorism' tactics. In the words of Beria, Stalin’s Secret Police enforcer,
"Obedience is the result of force...Force is the antithesis of humanizing action. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism, that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people to be granted by those people the possession of force." (The Russian Manual on Psychopolitics: Obedience, by Laventi Beria, head of Soviet Secret Police and Stalin's right-hand man)
Double-thinking ‘fence-sitters', otherwise known as moderates, centrists, and RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) bear the imprint of these psychological ‘obedience' techniques. These people-in some cases literally afraid of incurring the wrath of name-calling obedience trainers--- have opted to straddle the fence lest they be found guilty of possessing an opinion, one way or another. At the merest hint of displeasure from the obedience-trainers, up goes the yellow flag of surrender upon which it is boldly written:
"I believe in nothing and am tolerant of everything!"
Cultural Determinism
The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity.
In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience paired with personal accountability and responsibility because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible a priori.
Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our "unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty "are endowed by our Creator," who made man in His image.
Cultural determinism, states David Horowitz, is
"Identity politics-the politics of radical feminism, the queer revolution, and Afro-centrism-which is the basis of academic multiculturalism...a form of intellectual fascism and, insofar as it has any politics, of political fascism as well." (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up from Multiculturalism, by David Horowitz, Jan. 1998)
It is said that courage is the first of the virtues because without it fear will paralyze man, thus keeping him from acting upon his moral convictions and speaking truth. Thus bringing about a general state of paralyzing fear, apathy, and submission - the chains of tyranny - is the purpose behind psychopolitical, cultural terrorism, for the communist Left's revolutionary agenda must, at all costs, be clothed in darkness.
The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children's children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill' where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left's revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.

"The Origins of Political Correctness," (William Linds)
"[PC] is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious."
Lind states that from an historical point, PC has its historical origins in Cultural Marxism, the melding of Freudianism and Marxism; it's premise is that workers are oppressed under capitalism and under Western culture everyone lives in a state of psychological repression.
"Liberation from that repression became the weapon of choice for Cultural Marxism. Linds shows that everyone involved in bringing this ideology to our shores were Jews.
Both authors indicate that these changes began, not in the 60's, but actually in the 1930's, when two Marxist-theorists - Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary - concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist (Jewish) new world order.
In 1933, the Frankfort School, formerly known as the Institute for Social Research, was established at Columbia University after its founders fled Nazi Germany after Hitler came to power. In addition to Gramsci was music critic Theodor Adorno, psychologist Erich Fromm, sociologist Wilhelm Reich and Professor Herbert Marcuse. Its original strategy to destroy America could only be accomplished by infiltrating and subverting cultural institutions, since it was known that Americans steeped in traditions of freedom and liberty would never succumb to a frontal assault and be used as cannon fodder in a bloody revolution.
Gramsci concluded that Christianity's dominance in the West had corrupted the workers class and it would have to be de-Christianized by a "long march through the culture." His battleground would be the culture itself starting with the traditional family, then completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science and history. His new proletariat would be women, criminals, and racial minorities. He stated that the social and cultural order must be radically transformed and turned completely upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
The school would go on to patent ‘Critical Theory,’ which is accurately defined as destructive criticism of all the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity (Primogeneture), ethnocentrism, convention, and conservatism."
Herbert Marcuse, who stayed behind in America after WWII, favored "polymorphous perversion," which Freud theorized that humans are born with unfocused sexual libidinal drives, deriving sexual pleasure from any part of the body. The objects and modes of sexual satisfaction are multifarious, directed at every object that might provide pleasure. This theory was radically interjected into the 60's sexual revolution with staggering effects that are still with us today. All forms ox sexual deviancy, tattooing, piercing, branding, etc.
Consequently, additional intellectual firepower was added to cement cultural Marxism's base: 'authoritarian personality.' This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism.
Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America's traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
To poison American society further, the Frankfort School said history was determined by which groups, defined as men, women, races, religions, etc., had power or "dominance" over other groups.
Certain groups, especially white males, are labeled "oppressors," while other groups are defined as "victims." Victims are automatically good, oppressors always bad, just by what group they came from, regardless of individual behavior.
They incorporated into their cultural Marxism what Nietzsche called the "transvaluation of all values:" all the old sins have become virtues, and all the old virtues become sins. Homosexuality is a fine and good thing, but anyone who thinks men and women should have different social roles is an evil "fascist." That is what political correctness now teaches children in public schools all across America. (The Frankfurt School wrote about American public education. It said it did not matter if school children learned any skills or any facts. All that mattered was that they graduate from the schools with the right "attitudes" on certain questions.)
Herbert Marcuse became a "guru," of sorts, during the student rebellion in the 60's, and unfortunately, it provided him with an historic opportunity by injecting the Frankfort School's cultural Marxism into the baby-boom generation.
Of course, we did not understand what it really was. As was true from the Institute's beginning, Marcuse and the few other people "in the know" did not advertise that political correctness and multi-culturalism were a form of Marxism.
The effect was devastating: a whole generation of Americans, especially the university-educated elite, absorbed cultural Marxism, made it their own, and accepted a poisonous ideology that sought to destroy America's traditional culture and Christian faith. That generation, which runs every elite institution in America, now wages a ceaseless war on all traditional beliefs and institutions. They have largely won that war. Most of America's traditional culture lies in ruins.
Cultural Marxism, under the disguise of multiculturalism, is the primary reason why Americans equate truth with racism or hate. It is a ridiculous, poisonous, destructive ideology that we must eradicate, forever, in this country. However, a full frontal assault on the various institutions and organizations that defend it would end in our defeat. They are prepared and heavily fortified, now with the full cooperation of the United States government and para-military police forces behind them.
We, are but a small voice, however, hope reigns supreme. We must divorce ourselves from the poison that has undermined our culture and stolen our freedom, our voices and our liberty; as Gramsci laid it out so long ago, to undertake a "long march through the institutions." Our counter-strategy would be a long march to create new institutions defined by America's traditional value system. Patience is the virture that will eventually liberate us from the tyranny of every Marxist philosophy that now pervades our nation.
In the meantime, the next time you are called a fascist or a racist for speaking truth; label your attacker as a "Marxist" and watch for the reaction. You might be surprised.

Lukacs' neo-Marxist literary criticism can be tendentious, but his neo-Hegelian insights, strikingly expressed, have appealed to those anxious to salvage the more humane aspects of Marxism and to promote revolution, even against a modified capitalism and social democracy, by intellectual rather than by political means.
Marcuse also reached back to the more utopian Marx. Now that most of the proletariat has been absorbed into conformist managerial capitalism or has been regimented of
into bureaucratic peoples' democracies, freedom, argues Marcuse, is in retreat.
In Western affluent societies most employers and workers are equally philistine, dominated by the commercialized mass media, or "cogs in a culture machine."
The Soviet Union has reverted to an even more philistine monolithic repression, distorting art and literature.
This enslavement of man by his own industrial productivity has been clinched by the colossal power of governments, which renders the old brief and brisk class warfare a romantic, impracticable idea.
Marcuse attacked all establishments and transferred the redeeming mission of the proletariat to a fringe of alienated minorities: radical students and the exponents of the "hippie" way of life, as well as to Viet Cong guerillas and Black Power militants. Such groups, he declared, could apparently form liberating elites and destroy the managerial society.
Thus re-appeared the old Marxist-Hebraic pattern of redemption through struggle by a chosen people.
The Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci deployed a vivid rhetorical talent in attacking existing society. Like Marcuse, Gramsci was alarmed that the proletariat was being assimilated by the capitalist order and flung himself into the current controversy between social democrats and the radical revolutionaries.
Gramsci took his stand on the already obsolescent Marxist doctrine of irreconcilable
class war between bourgeois and proletariat. He aimed to unmask the bourgeois idea of liberty and to replace parliaments by an "implacable machine" of workers' councils, which would destroy the current social order through a dictatorship of the proletariat.
"Democracy," he wrote, "is our worst enemy. We must be ready to fight it because it blurs the clear separation of classes."
Not only would parliamentary democracy and established law be unmasked, but culture, too, would be transformed. A workers' civilization, with its great industry, large cities, and "tumultuous and intense life," would create a new civilization with new poetry, art, drama, fashions, and language.
Gramsci insisted that the old culture should be destroyed and that education should be
wrenched from the grip of the ruling classes and the church and run under the direction of workers' councils.
But this militant revolutionary was also utopian. Gramsci turned bitterly hostile to Stalin's regime, for he believed, like Engels, that the dictatorship of the workers' state would wither away. "We do not wish," he wrote, "to freeze the dictatorship."
Following world revolution, he wrote, a classless society would emerge, and mankind would be free to master nature instead of being involved in a class war.
Since World War II, Gramsci's notions have enjoyed a minor revival. They appeal to the fringe revolutionaries who admire Marcuse and detest the ‘bourgeoisement’ of an idealized proletariat.
But, in a civilization in which, if total war can be avoided, material prospects are good, the destruction of the old culture out of rage, envy, and naive idealism appears to be a pointless program.
II. Gramsci: Raising the American Taliban
Gramsci realized that the West, due to its prosperity, its increasingly wide access to education and opportunity, social mobility, and its readiness to repair injustices (due to its Christian morality), would never be amenable to a violent proletarian socialist revolution. So he came up with Plan B, which is often termed "Gramscian tactics," or ‘Fabian Socialism’ achieved by cultural subversion.
‘The civilized world has been saturated with Christianity for 2000 years,’ Gramsci wrote; and a regime grounded in Christian beliefs and values could not be overthrown until these roots were cut.
Capitalism, Gramsci suggested, maintained political, economic, and ideological control through a hegemonic culture in which the values of the ‘bourgeoisie’ (‘Bourgeoisie’ is an European term, as is ‘proletariat,’ ‘capitalist,’ and ‘communism.’) became the 'common sense' values of all…a consensus culture in which people in the working-class identified their own good with the good of the ‘bourgeoisie,’ and maintained the status quo rather than revolt from it.
Thus, to Gramsci, consummate subversive that he is, Western "hegemonic culture" is the enemy even more so than ‘the ruling class’ that supports it.
Defeating Western culture, his primary goal, could not be done with guns. It required a "long march through the culture" to slowly discredit and undermine its institutions, values, and foundations.
This was a brilliantly destructive idea.
Eventually, the society would fall apart, opening the way to totalitarian socialism. And the State must lead the way through its courts, schools, and importantly, its system of taxation which must redistribute wealth and purchase the power base that will forge new alliances hostile to the old order. All these factors must play their part to change society.
Gramsci taught that Western bourgeois cultural values were tied to Christianity and therefore much of his polemic against hegemonic culture is aimed at Christian norms and values.
Gramsci was impressed by the power of Roman Catholicism over men's minds and the care the Church had taken to prevent a gap between the religion of the learned and that of the less educated. (??)
Gramsci believed that Marxism should marry the purely intellectual critique of religion found in Renaissance humanism to the elements of the Reformation that had appealed to the masses.
Gramsci inspired:
attacks on Christianity
the family
individual freedom
morality and moral judgments
multiculturalism
cult of victimhood
"tolerance"
political correctness
Green movement
The role of family, religion, individual responsibility and even choice would be replaced with government rules, laws, and regulations. The expansion of the State into the Welfare State and the Nanny State - where we would be cared for ‘from cradle to grave’ – would rule with a velvet glove whose softness belies the iron fist within, for to resist the beautiful hell will invite brutal repression.
Nothing less than a revolution…
The traditions of Western Civilization must be repudiated and discarded.
Capitalism, with its notions of private property and individual competency must end.
Success, as a concept that emanates from individual self interest, must be redefined in terms of group interest.
Nationalism and Patriotism are incompatible with ‘the revolution.’
America and republican Americanism must be obliterated.
To achieve these goals Gramsci favored an incrementalist revolution, what British socialists termed ‘Fabian Socialism’ after the Roman General, ‘Fabius,’ (d. 203 BC), whose cautious delaying tactics of attrition during the early stages of the Second Punic War (218-201) gave Rome time to recover its strength and take the offensive against Hannibal. The Fabians put their faith in evolutionary Socialism rather than in armed revolution.
The Fabians at first attempted to permeate both the Liberal and Conservative parties with socialist ideas, but later organized the ‘Labour Representation Committee,’ which became the Labour Party in 1906. Socialism is the policy of the Labour Party.
Ultimately, suppression of the individual in favor of the collectivist utopia is the object of all socialist policy. It is the abandonment of the soul and spirit of Western Civilization. The 3,000 years of our culture is based on individual freedom, autonomy, initiative, self-interest, and the right to define oneself and determine your own direction. The Revolution can complete the seizure of political power only after having achieved "cultural hegemony," control of society's intellectual life by cultural means and the relocation of power and money.
They even reorder time by insisting use of the anti-Christian French Revolutionary calendar. Some publishers now insist upon secular dating of their publications with "B.C.E." (Before the "Common Era"- whatever that means) rather than "B.C." and "C.E." (the Common Era) rather than "A.D."
Anti-Christian phenomena such as the book and movie, ‘The DaVinci Code,’ turn the vary nature of Christ as Savior on its head. Indeed, one of the last sentences in The DaVinci Code reads, “…It is time to worship at the feet of the fallen one.”
Courts, including the Supreme Court, have declared most displays of the 10 Commandments "unconstitutional" despite the fact that the 10 Commandments are carved into the building that houses the U.S. Supreme Court.
Daily evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, everywhere is repeated the hymn, ‘Islam is the religion of peace’ yet Christianity is portrayed as the religion of hate, colonialism, and bigotry. Fundamental aspects of Christianity such as marriage, sexuality, and abortion are attacked by renegade Christian clergy, causing major schisms within the faith.

February 15, 2007 Cultural Marxism
By Linda Kimball
http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/02/cultural_marxism.html
There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. "The Sixties are dead," wrote columnist George Will ("Slamming the Doors," Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace' activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay' rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.
Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.
Birth of Multiculturalism
In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality-Frederich Engels wrote,
"All the...large and small nationalities are destined to perish...in the revolutionary world storm... (A general war will) wipe out all...nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes...but...reactionary peoples." ("The Magyar Struggle," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world's proletariat had not heeded Marx's call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.
Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.
Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the worker class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a "long march through the culture." Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his "Prison Notebooks," he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.
The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
The Prototype
In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary.
Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow.
Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.
Hungary's youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheistic) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.
Gramsci's prescription and Lukacs' plans were the precursor to what Cultural Marxism in the guise of SIECUS, GSLEN, and the ACLU--acting as judicially-powered enforcers--later brought into American schools.
Building a base
In 1923, the Frankfurt School-a Marxist think-tank-was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.
The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms.
It would provide the ideas on which to base a new political theory of revoltuion based on culture, harnessing new [discovered] oppressed groups for the faithless proletariat. Smashing religion, morals, It would also build a constituency among academics, who could build careers studying and writing about the new oppression.
Toward this end, Marcuse-who favored polymorphous perversion-expanded the ranks of Gramsci's new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs radical sex education and cultural terrorism tactics.
Gramsci's ‘long march' was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, now known in the West as multiculturalism.
Additional intellectual firepower was required: a theory to pathologize what was to be destroyed.
In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno's idea of the ‘authoritarian personality.'
This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America's traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
The pernicious influence of Adorno's ‘authoritarian personality' idea can be clearly seen in some of the research that gets public money.
"In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed.
Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives...suffer from ‘mental rigidity,' ‘dogmatism,' and ‘uncertainty avoidance,' together with associated indicators for mental illness." http://www.edwatch.org/ ‘Social and Emotional Learning" Jan. 26, 2005)
The Orwellian cast of the pathologies named shows how far Gramsci's long march has led us.
A corresponding and diabolically crafted idea is ‘Political Correctness.’
The strong suggestion here is that in order for one not to be thought of as racist or fascist, then one must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new' moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance - All major initiatives in the schools. Everything form curricula to playtime is arranged to comply with the new dogma.
Political correctness is a Machiavellian, psychological ‘command and control' device. Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior. ORWELL.
‘Critical theory’ is yet another psychological ‘command and control' device. As stated by Daniel J. Flynn,
"Critical Theory, as its name implies, criticizes. What deconstruction does to literature, Critical Theory does to societies." (Intellectual Morons, p 15-16)
Critical Theory is the ongoing and brutal assault upon traditional American culture and society via vicious criticism relentlessly leveled against Christians, Christmas, the Boy Scouts, Ten Commandments, our military, and all other aspects. The new, ‘Dialectic.’
Both political correctness and Critical Theory are in essence, psychological bullying. Cognitive dissonance; indoctrination, mind control, thought transfer, brainwashing, peer pressure.
They are the psycho-political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the Left.
These devious devices are but psychological versions of Georg Lukacs and Laventi Beria's ‘cultural terrorism' tactics. In the words of Beria, Stalin’s Secret Police enforcer,
"Obedience is the result of force...Force is the antithesis of humanizing action. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism, that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people to be granted by those people the possession of force." (The Russian Manual on Psychopolitics: Obedience, by Laventi Beria, head of Soviet Secret Police and Stalin's right-hand man)
Double-thinking ‘fence-sitters', otherwise known as moderates, centrists, and RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) bear the imprint of these psychological ‘obedience' techniques. These people-in some cases literally afraid of incurring the wrath of name-calling obedience trainers--- have opted to straddle the fence lest they be found guilty of possessing an opinion, one way or another. At the merest hint of displeasure from the obedience-trainers, up goes the yellow flag of surrender upon which it is boldly written:
"I believe in nothing and am tolerant of everything!"
Cultural Determinism
The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity.
In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience paired with personal accountability and responsibility because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible a priori.
Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our "unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty "are endowed by our Creator," who made man in His image.
Cultural determinism, states David Horowitz, is
"Identity politics-the politics of radical feminism, the queer revolution, and Afro-centrism-which is the basis of academic multiculturalism...a form of intellectual fascism and, insofar as it has any politics, of political fascism as well." (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up from Multiculturalism, by David Horowitz, Jan. 1998)
It is said that courage is the first of the virtues because without it fear will paralyze man, thus keeping him from acting upon his moral convictions and speaking truth. Thus bringing about a general state of paralyzing fear, apathy, and submission - the chains of tyranny - is the purpose behind psychopolitical, cultural terrorism, for the communist Left's revolutionary agenda must, at all costs, be clothed in darkness.
The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children's children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill' where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left's revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.

"The Origins of Political Correctness," (William Linds)
"[PC] is the great disease of our century, the disease that has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. It is the disease of ideology. PC is not funny. PC is deadly serious."
Lind states that from an historical point, PC has its historical origins in Cultural Marxism, the melding of Freudianism and Marxism; it's premise is that workers are oppressed under capitalism and under Western culture everyone lives in a state of psychological repression.
"Liberation from that repression became the weapon of choice for Cultural Marxism. Linds shows that everyone involved in bringing this ideology to our shores were Jews.
Both authors indicate that these changes began, not in the 60's, but actually in the 1930's, when two Marxist-theorists - Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary - concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist (Jewish) new world order.
In 1933, the Frankfort School, formerly known as the Institute for Social Research, was established at Columbia University after its founders fled Nazi Germany after Hitler came to power. In addition to Gramsci was music critic Theodor Adorno, psychologist Erich Fromm, sociologist Wilhelm Reich and Professor Herbert Marcuse. Its original strategy to destroy America could only be accomplished by infiltrating and subverting cultural institutions, since it was known that Americans steeped in traditions of freedom and liberty would never succumb to a frontal assault and be used as cannon fodder in a bloody revolution.
Gramsci concluded that Christianity's dominance in the West had corrupted the workers class and it would have to be de-Christianized by a "long march through the culture." His battleground would be the culture itself starting with the traditional family, then completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science and history. His new proletariat would be women, criminals, and racial minorities. He stated that the social and cultural order must be radically transformed and turned completely upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.
The school would go on to patent ‘Critical Theory,’ which is accurately defined as destructive criticism of all the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity (Primogeneture), ethnocentrism, convention, and conservatism."
Herbert Marcuse, who stayed behind in America after WWII, favored "polymorphous perversion," which Freud theorized that humans are born with unfocused sexual libidinal drives, deriving sexual pleasure from any part of the body. The objects and modes of sexual satisfaction are multifarious, directed at every object that might provide pleasure. This theory was radically interjected into the 60's sexual revolution with staggering effects that are still with us today. All forms ox sexual deviancy, tattooing, piercing, branding, etc.
Consequently, additional intellectual firepower was added to cement cultural Marxism's base: 'authoritarian personality.' This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism.
Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America's traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.
To poison American society further, the Frankfort School said history was determined by which groups, defined as men, women, races, religions, etc., had power or "dominance" over other groups.
Certain groups, especially white males, are labeled "oppressors," while other groups are defined as "victims." Victims are automatically good, oppressors always bad, just by what group they came from, regardless of individual behavior.
They incorporated into their cultural Marxism what Nietzsche called the "transvaluation of all values:" all the old sins have become virtues, and all the old virtues become sins. Homosexuality is a fine and good thing, but anyone who thinks men and women should have different social roles is an evil "fascist." That is what political correctness now teaches children in public schools all across America. (The Frankfurt School wrote about American public education. It said it did not matter if school children learned any skills or any facts. All that mattered was that they graduate from the schools with the right "attitudes" on certain questions.)
Herbert Marcuse became a "guru," of sorts, during the student rebellion in the 60's, and unfortunately, it provided him with an historic opportunity by injecting the Frankfort School's cultural Marxism into the baby-boom generation.
Of course, we did not understand what it really was. As was true from the Institute's beginning, Marcuse and the few other people "in the know" did not advertise that political correctness and multi-culturalism were a form of Marxism.
The effect was devastating: a whole generation of Americans, especially the university-educated elite, absorbed cultural Marxism, made it their own, and accepted a poisonous ideology that sought to destroy America's traditional culture and Christian faith. That generation, which runs every elite institution in America, now wages a ceaseless war on all traditional beliefs and institutions. They have largely won that war. Most of America's traditional culture lies in ruins.
Cultural Marxism, under the disguise of multiculturalism, is the primary reason why Americans equate truth with racism or hate. It is a ridiculous, poisonous, destructive ideology that we must eradicate, forever, in this country. However, a full frontal assault on the various institutions and organizations that defend it would end in our defeat. They are prepared and heavily fortified, now with the full cooperation of the United States government and para-military police forces behind them.
We, are but a small voice, however, hope reigns supreme. We must divorce ourselves from the poison that has undermined our culture and stolen our freedom, our voices and our liberty; as Gramsci laid it out so long ago, to undertake a "long march through the institutions." Our counter-strategy would be a long march to create new institutions defined by America's traditional value system. Patience is the virture that will eventually liberate us from the tyranny of every Marxist philosophy that now pervades our nation.
In the meantime, the next time you are called a fascist or a racist for speaking truth; label your attacker as a "Marxist" and watch for the reaction. You might be surprised.

The Tenets of Communism
10 Planks of Communist Manifesto for takeover of America
The American public has believed the lies of their "leaders" who applaud "the fall of Communism." But they have sold out the country to anti-Christian, anti-American statutes and regulations on the federal, state, and local levels.
Posted below is a comparison of the original ten planks of the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart of each of the planks.
The American people have truly been "buried in Communism" by their own politicians of the Republican and Democrat parties.
One other thing to remember, Karl Marx was stating in the Communist Manifesto that these planks will test whether a country has become communist or not. According to Marx, if they are all in effect and in force the country IS communist. Communism, but by any other name...??
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
A ‘Death Tax,’ which we refer to as Federal & State estate taxes (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
We call in government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986);
Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
We call it the Federal Reserve which is a credit/debt system nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913, establishing the Fed as a privately owned bank. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.
We call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act, and The Department of Agriculture, as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and EPA and IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the FED has caused the need for a two "income" family. Women in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and, of course, Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
We call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.
10. Free education for all children in government schools; Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form; Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
People are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, which train the young out of independent thought and action and become compliant drones who will work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education."
The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
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]
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.

It will probably be available at your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto interesting at this point.

1963- The Year That Changed America
By Greg Swank
12-4-2
Over the years, I have shared in debates and discussions regarding the current state of affairs in the U.S., and the changing social climate of this great nation. Since the "baby-boomer" generation, society and its culture have become noticeably different than the way it was 50 years ago. From the late 50's to the 70's a series of events took place contributing to the way we are currently living. However, like anything else, there has to be a starting point at which the wheels are put into motion. Sometimes it can be a single event, such as war, but more often, it is a series of events, some intentional, some planned, others unpredictable. There is always a pivotal point when things begin to change. I believe that time was 1963.
For my generation, some of the following will certainly stir old memories. If you born later, this may serve as a brief history lesson into the times your parents traveled through.
By 1963 television was the leading sources of entertainment. The public enjoyed a different type of programming back then. Lessons on life could be viewed weekly on "Leave it to Beaver" or "My Three Sons." There were hero's back then that never drew blood, "The Lone Ranger" and "The Adventures of Superman." Cartoon series evolved, such as, "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" without messages of empowering the children, using vulgarities or demeaning parental guidance. Family's could spend a weekend evening watching "Ed Sullivan," "Bonanza" or "Gunsmoke." For those who enjoyed thrill and suspense, we were blessed with "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and the "Twilight Zone." 'My Favorite Martian," "Ozzie and Harriet," "Donna Reed" and "Sea Hunt" also kept viewers entertained weekly.
Movie theaters were not multiplex units with 15 screens, rather, one single, giant big screen with adequate sound and hard seats without springs. "Tom Jones" had won the Academy award for best picture. "How The West Was Won," "Cleopatra," "Lily of the Fields," "The Great Escape," "The Birds," and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" were all box office hits.
By years end, "The Beatles" had played for the British Royal Family and were laying the groundwork to conquer the U.S. the following year. Eric Clapton began his journey to fame with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jim McCarty and their band, "The Yardbirds." Out on the west coast the surf was beginning to rock'n'roll with "The Beach Boys" and their first song to reach the top ten list, "Surfin' U.S.A."
"Joys of Jell-O" recipes for quivering florescent foodstuff hit the stores. U.S. Postal rates went up to five cents for the first ounce. AT&T introduced touch-tone telephones. The Yankees played in the World Series again; but lost to the Dodgers in four straight. The government and NASA began the Apollo program.
This is just a brief snapshot of some things that were going on back in 1963. Remember?
While some of these events played an important role in the direction of change that affect us today, many of them were lost to much greater, more political events, that I believe put everything into motion.
On January 10, 1963, the House of Representative and later the Senate began reviewing a document entitled "Communist Goals for Taking Over America." It contained an agenda of 45 separate issues that, in hindsight was quite shocking back then and equally shocking today. Here, in part, are some key points listed in that document.
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.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
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, and healthy."
27. 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."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
You can see the entire list on this web page - http://www.truthtrek.net/politics/takeover.htm
Now, I am not saying that the U.S. is under some kind of Communist control, but what I do find frightening, is of the 45 issues listed, nearly all of them have come to pass. Remember this was in January 1963.
In 1963 the news media showed women burning their bras as the women's liberation movement took off with the publishing of "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan. Martin Luther King was jailed in April and civil unrest was being brought to the forefront. On August 28th the media brought us live coverage of the march on Washington and Dr. Kings famous "I had a dream" speech. The Cuban missile crisis found its way in to our homes and our nation was gearing up for conflict.
By September of 1963 we had lost some very influential people, Pope John XXIII, Robert Frost, and country legend Patsy Cline, to name a few. In the early hours of November 22nd we learned of the quiet passing of C.S. Lewis and hours later we were brought to our knees when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and our nation mourned.
So you see, while long since forgotten, 1963 could very well have been, one of the most important years since our founding fathers provided us with the Constitution of the United States. Which brings me to one final and extremely important decision that was made during this most provocative year.
On June 17, 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was deemed unconstitutional.
While American's have endured great prosperity over the past 40 years we have also lost our moral compass and direction. In reviewing the research, data supports 1963 as a focal point, demonstrating a downward slope in our moral and social decline through 2001.
Certainly, one would have to agree that all of these events have had a profound impact on the way our current social structure has been changed. Personally, if I had to choose one specific event that has demonstrated the demoralization of our country, it would have to be the decision of the U.S Supreme Court in June of 1963.
But there is always "hope." As always, I welcome your comments and can easily be reached. Thanks for the response to "Daddy, What's Fluoride?" My email is: greg@truthtrek.net

Are You A Practicing Communist?
Many Americans pride themselves as being relentless anti-Communists. A lot of people think of the communists as the bad guys and the cause of our troubles and that of the rest of the world's. This bad guy must look really bad and we should spot him easily in a crowd. Let's examine what a communist really is.
Communism is a way of life that is contrary to most teaching of the Holy Bible and that of the common people, as our beloved country the 50 united States of America was founded to be. In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto.
It is the foundation of what communist ideology is all about. A true communist or communist country would be practicing all ten (10) planks. Today, here in the 50 united States of America, we ARE practicing all ten (10) planks and we don't even realize that we are in reality communists. We would rather call ourselves something else.
The 1st Plank: THE ABOLITION OF PROPERTY AND LAND AND THE APPLICATION OF ALL RENT IN LAND TO PUBLIC PURPOSES.
As in the old law of Moses and in the first 150 years of the united States of America, when you owned land, you had absolute title to that land and no other party could lay claim on it whatsoever unless you sold the land or voluntarily let another party lay claim.
But then, you had the right to get it back, even if it will take your grandchildren to claim it all back.
Today, we only have what you might call a 99 year lease. The State can confiscate your land for non-payment of taxes or some supposed crime. The only reason the State can do this is that you don't really own your land. The State has controlling interest on your land and you are merely paying rent and this rent goes toward the public use such as paying toward the interest on the national debt.
The 2nd Plank: A PROGRESSIVE, GRADUATED INCOME TAX.
Need this be explained? We all know that there is an income tax in the 50 united States of America and that the more you make, the higher your tax bracket, the more you are taxed. We did not have income tax until the 1940's. Through instruments of government such as the public fool (school) system and with the help corporate funding we have been convinced it applies to everyone even though it doesn't.
The 3rd Plank: THE ABOLITION OF ALL RIGHT OF INHERITANCE
In the old Law of Moses and the first 150 years of the united States of America, there was NO inheritance tax. In the Law of Moses, land was transferred to the eldest son absolutely.
In the first 150 years of the united States of America, inheritance and/or your assigns was also absolute. There were no third parties involved.
This started with the birth certificate and then getting a marriage license which makes the State the third party.
When a spouse dies, the other spouse cannot claim the fruits of the marriage because of the third party, the State. Now, the state would in effect say "buy me out." Then the land would be forced to be sold just to pay the State, and almost always attorneys, who always want cash.
The 4th Plank: THE CONFISCATION OF ALL PROPERTY OF EMIGRANTS AND REBELS
Some people are beginning to find out about what is really going on. They are beginning to rebel against these communist and/or satanic practices and in the process, SWAT teams are sent against them. Businesses are padlocked; homes are liened; bank accounts seized; some are jailed without due process; and many are outright killed. What will it take to practice the Bible?
The 5th Plank: THE CENTRALIZATION OF CREDIT IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE BY MEANS OF A NATIONAL BANK WITH STATE CAPITAL AND AN EXCLUSIVE MONOPOLY
This brings us straight to the Federal Reserve Banks. The basis of the Federal Reserve Note is credit, which is the reason it lacks gold and silver backing.
The government borrows these notes (they didn't borrow anything of value) to pass on to the people and you will notice how huge the federal debt is. All for the cost of printing these paper notes.
In the Law of Moses and in the first 150 years of the united States of America, people used gold and silver coins which have intrinsic value.
The Federal Reserve Bank has a monopoly on issuing currency today, despite and in violation of Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution for the 50 united States of America, "No State shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of Debts." This worthless paper currency is distributed through the local banks.
The 6th Plank: THE CENTRALIZATION OF THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
This is accomplished by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) which controls, regulates and licenses all newspapers and magazines; radio and television stations, local or national distribution who are in a corporate or in a State created entity. Transportation is controlled by the various State Departments of Motor Vehicles and enforced by the various law enforcement agencies. Isn't it strange that we hired peace officers (to keep the peace), but somehow they became law enforcement officers?
The 7th Plank: THE EXTENSION OF FACTORIES AND THE INSTRUMENTS OF PRODUCTION OWNED BY THE STATE AND THE BRINGING INTO CULTIVATION WASTE LAND AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOIL GENERALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMMON PLAN
Factories are all controlled by the government by means of permits and licenses, and various other agencies like O.S.H.A., labor boards and others. Smaller businesses are really extensions of these factories because most are franchises. You cannot put up a business and start selling somebody else's product unless you first ask for and pay for this privilege. Even if you will buy and sell in bulk. Farms are told which crop to plant and are sometimes paid not to plant. Farms are controlled by various government agencies like Soil Conservation Districts, Bureau of Land Management and Desert Land Entry Act where government owned desert is leased out to farmers. And what about U.S. Wetlands?
The 8th Plank: EQUAL LIABILITY FOR ALL TO LABOR AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ARMIES, ESPECIALLY FOR AGRICULTURE
Equal liability is accomplished by means of the Social Security Number and most are members of an industrial army because you cannot get a job with a corporation unless you have a Social Security Number (slave number). You are part of the Social Security Army and being unemployed, the unemployment office will send you to work.
The 9th Plank: THE COMBINATION OF AGRICULTURE WITH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND THE GRADUAL ABOLITION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TOWN AND COUNTRY BY THE MORE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION OVER THE COUNTRY.
Real wealth comes from the land and in 1920's, almost half the population owned their land outright. That has fallen steadily since then through farm foreclosures because these farmers are needed in the cities to work in factories. Equal distribution is not distributed evenly but rather distributed where you are needed. By the turn of the century, this country is expected to have but a few super corporate farms (like ConAgra?) instead of millions of family owned smaller farms, just like in Russia!
The 10th Plank: THE FREE EDUCATION OF ALL CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Do you need this explained? Even private and church schools need to have permits and licenses from the government and follow approved curriculum. This way our children can be indoctrinated with humanistic principles, and communistic ideology. Subtly but effectively.
One big difference between Russia and the 50 united States of America is that in Russia, people do not pretend to have private property, they don't call themselves free and homeowners like in the 50 united States of America. Private property has been subjugated to the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto.
NOW, are you a practicing communist? Be honest....
The American public has believed the lies of their "leaders" who applaud "the fall of Communism." But they have sold out the country to anti-Christian, anti-American statutes and regulations on the federal, state, and local levels.
Posted below is a comparison of the original ten planks of the Communist Manifesto written by Karl Marx in 1848, along with the American adopted counterpart of each of the planks.
The American people have truly been "buried in Communism" by their own politicians of the Republican and Democrat parties.
One other thing to remember, Karl Marx was stating in the Communist Manifesto that these planks will test whether a country has become communist or not. According to Marx, if they are all in effect and in force the country IS communist. Communism, but by any other name...??
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
A ‘Death Tax,’ which we refer to as Federal & State estate taxes (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
We call in government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986);
Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
We call it the Federal Reserve which is a credit/debt system nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913, establishing the Fed as a privately owned bank. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.
We call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act, and The Department of Agriculture, as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and EPA and IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the FED has caused the need for a two "income" family. Women in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and, of course, Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
We call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.
10. Free education for all children in government schools; Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form; Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
People are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, which train the young out of independent thought and action and become compliant drones who will work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education."
The Communist Takeover Of America - 45 Declared Goals
You are about to read a list of 45 goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
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]
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.

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, and 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."

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.

1963- The Year That Changed America
By Greg Swank
12-4-2
Over the years, I have shared in debates and discussions regarding the current state of affairs in the U.S., and the changing social climate of this great nation. Since the "baby-boomer" generation, society and its culture have become noticeably different than the way it was 50 years ago.

By years end, "The Beatles" had played for the British Royal Family and were laying the groundwork to conquer the U.S. the following year. Eric Clapton began his journey to fame with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jim McCarty and their band, "The Yardbirds." Out on the west coast the surf was beginning to rock'n'roll with "The Beach Boys" and their first song to reach the top ten list, "Surfin' U.S.A."
"Joys of Jell-O" recipes for quivering florescent foodstuff hit the stores. U.S. Postal rates went up to five cents for the first ounce. AT&T introduced touch-tone telephones. The Yankees played in the World Series again; but lost to the Dodgers in four straight. The government and NASA began the Apollo program.
This is just a brief snapshot of some things that were going on back in 1963. Remember?
While some of these events played an important role in the direction of change that affect us today, many of them were lost to much greater, more political events, that I believe put everything into motion.
On January 10, 1963, the House of Representative and later the Senate began reviewing a document entitled "Communist Goals for Taking Over America." It contained an agenda of 45 separate issues that, in hindsight was quite shocking back then and equally shocking today. Here, in part, are some key points listed in that document.
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.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
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, and healthy."
27. 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."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

Now, I am not saying that the U.S. is under some kind of Communist control, but what I do find frightening, is of the 45 issues listed, nearly all of them have come to pass. Remember this was in January 1963.
In 1963 the news media showed women burning their bras as the women's liberation movement took off with the publishing of "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan. Martin Luther King was jailed in April and civil unrest was being brought to the forefront. On August 28th the media brought us live coverage of the march on Washington and Dr. Kings famous "I had a dream" speech. The Cuban missile crisis found its way in to our homes and our nation was gearing up for conflict.
By September of 1963 we had lost some very influential people, Pope John XXIII, Robert Frost, and country legend Patsy Cline, to name a few. In the early hours of November 22nd we learned of the quiet passing of C.S. Lewis and hours later we were brought to our knees when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and our nation mourned.
So you see, while long since forgotten, 1963 could very well have been, one of the most important years since our founding fathers provided us with the Constitution of the United States. Which brings me to one final and extremely important decision that was made during this most provocative year.
On June 17, 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court concluded that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was deemed unconstitutional.
While American's have endured great prosperity over the past 40 years we have also lost our moral compass and direction. In reviewing the research, data supports 1963 as a focal point, demonstrating a downward slope in our moral and social decline through 2001.
Certainly, one would have to agree that all of these events have had a profound impact on the way our current social structure has been changed. Personally, if I had to choose one specific event that has demonstrated the demoralization of our country, it would have to be the decision of the U.S Supreme Court in June of 1963.
But there is always "hope." As always, I welcome your comments and can easily be reached. Thanks for the response to "Daddy, What's Fluoride?" My email is: greg@truthtrek.net

Jeff...adding a couple of my own numbers:
__ 46. Import anti-white racists from the Third World, via an open-borders policy, then force their integration to divide and conquer white Western civilization in North America.
__ 47. Feminize and disarm both the citizenry and military; especially disarm white males.

Are You A Practicing Communist?
Many Americans pride themselves as being relentless anti-Communists. A lot of people think of the communists as the bad guys and the cause of our troubles and that of the rest of the world's. This bad guy must look really bad and we should spot him easily in a crowd. Let's examine what a communist really is.
Communism is a way of life that is contrary to most teaching of the Holy Bible and that of the common people, as our beloved country the 50 united States of America was founded to be. In 1848, Karl Marx wrote the ten (10) planks of the Communist Manifesto.
It is the foundation of what communist ideology is all about. A true communist or communist country would be practicing all ten (10) planks. Today, here in the 50 united States of America, we ARE practicing all ten (10) planks and we don't even realize that we are in reality communists. We would rather call ourselves something else.
The 1st Plank: THE ABOLITION OF PROPERTY AND LAND AND THE APPLICATION OF ALL RENT IN LAND TO PUBLIC PURPOSES.
As in the old law of Moses and in the first 150 years of the united States of America, when you owned land, you had absolute title to that land and no other party could lay claim on it whatsoever unless you sold the land or voluntarily let another party lay claim.
But then, you had the right to get it back, even if it will take your grandchildren to claim it all back.
Today, we only have what you might call a 99 year lease. The State can confiscate your land for non-payment of taxes or some supposed crime. The only reason the State can do this is that you don't really own your land. The State has controlling interest on your land and you are merely paying rent and this rent goes toward the public use such as paying toward the interest on the national debt.
The 2nd Plank: A PROGRESSIVE, GRADUATED INCOME TAX.
Need this be explained? We all know that there is an income tax in the 50 united States of America and that the more you make, the higher your tax bracket, the more you are taxed. We did not have income tax until the 1940's. Through instruments of government such as the public fool (school) system and with the help corporate funding we have been convinced it applies to everyone even though it doesn't.
The 3rd Plank: THE ABOLITION OF ALL RIGHT OF INHERITANCE
In the old Law of Moses and the first 150 years of the united States of America, there was NO inheritance tax. In the Law of Moses, land was transferred to the eldest son absolutely.
In the first 150 years of the united States of America, inheritance and/or your assigns was also absolute. There were no third parties involved.
This started with the birth certificate and then getting a marriage license which makes the State the third party.
When a spouse dies, the other spouse cannot claim the fruits of the marriage because of the third party, the State. Now, the state would in effect say "buy me out." Then the land would be forced to be sold just to pay the State, and almost always attorneys, who always want cash.
The 4th Plank: THE CONFISCATION OF ALL PROPERTY OF EMIGRANTS AND REBELS
Some people are beginning to find out about what is really going on. They are beginning to rebel against these communist and/or satanic practices and in the process, SWAT teams are sent against them. Businesses are padlocked; homes are liened; bank accounts seized; some are jailed without due process; and many are outright killed. What will it take to practice the Bible?
The 5th Plank: THE CENTRALIZATION OF CREDIT IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE BY MEANS OF A NATIONAL BANK WITH STATE CAPITAL AND AN EXCLUSIVE MONOPOLY
This brings us straight to the Federal Reserve Banks. The basis of the Federal Reserve Note is credit, which is the reason it lacks gold and silver backing.
The government borrows these notes (they didn't borrow anything of value) to pass on to the people and you will notice how huge the federal debt is. All for the cost of printing these paper notes.
In the Law of Moses and in the first 150 years of the united States of America, people used gold and silver coins which have intrinsic value.
The Federal Reserve Bank has a monopoly on issuing currency today, despite and in violation of Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution for the 50 united States of America, "No State shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of Debts." This worthless paper currency is distributed through the local banks.
The 6th Plank: THE CENTRALIZATION OF THE MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION IN THE HANDS OF THE STATE
This is accomplished by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) which controls, regulates and licenses all newspapers and magazines; radio and television stations, local or national distribution who are in a corporate or in a State created entity. Transportation is controlled by the various State Departments of Motor Vehicles and enforced by the various law enforcement agencies. Isn't it strange that we hired peace officers (to keep the peace), but somehow they became law enforcement officers?
The 7th Plank: THE EXTENSION OF FACTORIES AND THE INSTRUMENTS OF PRODUCTION OWNED BY THE STATE AND THE BRINGING INTO CULTIVATION WASTE LAND AND THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOIL GENERALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH A COMMON PLAN
Factories are all controlled by the government by means of permits and licenses, and various other agencies like O.S.H.A., labor boards and others. Smaller businesses are really extensions of these factories because most are franchises. You cannot put up a business and start selling somebody else's product unless you first ask for and pay for this privilege. Even if you will buy and sell in bulk. Farms are told which crop to plant and are sometimes paid not to plant. Farms are controlled by various government agencies like Soil Conservation Districts, Bureau of Land Management and Desert Land Entry Act where government owned desert is leased out to farmers. And what about U.S. Wetlands?
The 8th Plank: EQUAL LIABILITY FOR ALL TO LABOR AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF INDUSTRIAL ARMIES, ESPECIALLY FOR AGRICULTURE
Equal liability is accomplished by means of the Social Security Number and most are members of an industrial army because you cannot get a job with a corporation unless you have a Social Security Number (slave number). You are part of the Social Security Army and being unemployed, the unemployment office will send you to work.
The 9th Plank: THE COMBINATION OF AGRICULTURE WITH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES AND THE GRADUAL ABOLITION OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TOWN AND COUNTRY BY THE MORE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF POPULATION OVER THE COUNTRY.
Real wealth comes from the land and in 1920's, almost half the population owned their land outright. That has fallen steadily since then through farm foreclosures because these farmers are needed in the cities to work in factories. Equal distribution is not distributed evenly but rather distributed where you are needed. By the turn of the century, this country is expected to have but a few super corporate farms (like ConAgra?) instead of millions of family owned smaller farms, just like in Russia!
The 10th Plank: THE FREE EDUCATION OF ALL CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Do you need this explained? Even private and church schools need to have permits and licenses from the government and follow approved curriculum. This way our children can be indoctrinated with humanistic principles, and communistic ideology. Subtly but effectively.
One big difference between Russia and the 50 united States of America is that in Russia, people do not pretend to have private property, they don't call themselves free and homeowners like in the 50 united States of America. Private property has been subjugated to the 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto.
NOW, are you a practicing communist? Be honest....
