To understand what is happening in America today we must look at the past, at the cancer that was introduced as well as those who were responsible for the “paradigm shift” that grew into the policies of the Obama Administration as well as the left as a whole.
Those in power today were the children of those are viewed as “the greatest generation” for the patriotism they exhibited during WWII and the sacrifices made by everyday Americans on the home front. Maybe it was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder of those who returned to terrorize and decimate their families as a result of their participation in such horrific battles as Guadalcanal or Iwo Jima.
One thing is for sure, it was the sons and daughters of that generation that is responsible for this shift.
I would like to start with the picture above which was taken by Life Magazine for a 1968 article about the “Columbia University” takeover by students that were led by members of the “Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)”.
This picture is revealing in so many ways as it captured the collaboration of socialist/communist professors that have infiltrated our college campuses and the students they indoctrinated. These “professors of communism” took a play out of Hitler’s playbook and fomented racial divisions to whip up violent dissent in this country and the “end game” of this foment is now being played out with the election of Barack Obama who was essentially elected by those very students the socialists indoctrinated. We know that ACORN, SEIU as well as scores of other non-profits coalesced their resources to elect this particular man.
We know that Obama’s political career was launched in the living-room of William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. Both Ayers and Dohrn were members of the SDS and went on to found the Weatherman Underground.
We know that ACORN mobilized it’s “get out the vote” arm as well. The founder of ACORN was another SDS member and Weather Underground member, Wade Rathke.
We know that the SEIU had also mobilized its union members to Barack Obama’s aid in the Presidential elections and were instrumental in defeating the “Clinton machine” during the Democratic Primaries. Wade Rathke found the SEIU (as well as ACORN).
In the picture it shows the man in green (Tom Hayden, founder of the SDS) helping a University Professor into a window of the Math building at Columbia University in 1968 when members of the SDS took over the buildings in an act of civil disobedience. The woman being helped is Francis Fox Piven (of the Cloward-Piven strategy).
The picture above tells a thousand words of how the Tom Hayden, founder of the SDS (and author of the “Port Huron Statement” in 1960) gave a helping hand to Francis Fox Piven, Columbia University Sociology Professor and the author of the Cloward-Piven strategy that is wreaking so much havoc today.
It is fact that both the SDS members of yesterday have taken this strategy and are using it today to bring about the financial collapse of the US Government
The Cloward-Piven Strategy was drafted in 1966 (2 years before this photo was taken) by Francis Fox Piven and her would be husband (2001) Richard Cloward.
The strategy they co-authored is best described as a “Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis”. If this sounds familiar just remember the multiple times you hear the Obama Administration, specifically Rahm Emanuel remind us that “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
“The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined by Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, then both sociologists and political activists at the Columbia University School of Social Work, in a 1966 article in The Nation. The two argued that many Americans who were eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment drive would create a political crisis that would force U.S. politicians, particularly the Democratic Party, to enact legislation "establishing a guaranteed national income.
Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy.”
Once again, if this sounds familiar just think about the recent “mortgage crisis” and the bail out of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac when, after decades of forcing the banks to give home loans to the poor and minorities that could not repay them reached a “crisis” of un-sustainability.
Crisis after crisis are being orchestrated to further the strategy.
The next statement, when put into perspective of what is happening around the United States today on the local, State and Federal levels allow you to truly understand that this strategy is unfolding before our very eyes:
“Cloward and Piven calculated that persuading even a fraction of potential welfare recipients to demand their entitlements would bankrupt the system. The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces … for major economic reform at the national level."
Their article called for "cadres of aggressive organizers" (ACORN, SEIU) to use "demonstrations to create a climate of militancy." Intimidated by threats of black violence (New Black Panthers), politicians would appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a guaranteed living income for all -- working and non-working people alike. Local officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would apply pressure on Washington to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act.”
Competing philosophies:
Has anyone ever noticed how the very same people that have ascended in the fifty years spew the same philosophies they did when they were young – racial inequality and oppression of the poor? This is evident by the “Black Panther” platform in 1966. In 1972, the platform changed its platform in a nuanced political maneuver that highlights the “paradigm shift” that continues today. Before you read the Black Panther Charters (1966 & 1972) one must ask “what happened in the six years” that caused the Platform language to change? Some notable things happened in 1972, 1) Equal Rights Amendment of 1972; 2) Anti-war demonstrations across US draw 100,000; 3) Watergate break-in arrests and the Terror attack at the Munich Olympics;
It is more plausible that when the leadership breakup in 1972 of the Black Panthers as a result of the constant violent activities of the group it was a “last straw” event. This was preceded by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and subsequent African American advances of equality making the violent struggle moot.
This shift is documented on the “History of the Black Panthers” website at Stanford University:
Note: changes to platform are highlighted.
October 1966 Platform
1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community.
We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to determine our destiny.
March 1972 Platform
1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black and oppressed communities.
We believe that Black and oppressed people will not be free until we are able to determine our destinies in our own communities ourselves, by fully controlling all the institutions which exist in our communities.
October 1966 Platform
2. We want full employment for our people.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.
March 1972 Platform
2. We want full employment for our people.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every person employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the (dropped the word white) American businessmen will not give full employment, then the technology and means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.
October 1966 Platform
3. We want an end to the robbery by the white man of our Black Community.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment as currency which will be distributed to our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered six million Jews. The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over twenty million black people; therefore, we feel that this is a modest demand that we make.
March 1972 Platform
3. We want an end to the robbery by the capitalist of our Black and oppressed communities.
We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules were promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of Black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed to our many communities. (The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Germans murdered six million Jews “was removed”) The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty (changed from 20 million) million Black people. Therefore, we feel this is a modest demand that we make.
October 1966 Platform
4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.
We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for its people.
March 1972 Platform
4. We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
We believe that if the (white removed) landlords will not give decent housing to our Black and oppressed communities, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that the people in our communities, with government aid, can build and make decent housing for the people.
Note: This is the statement/broadcast quote that Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane) gave when she traveled with her future husband Tom Hayden to Vietnam in 1972:
“One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I've been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he'll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo- colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist. I've spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives. See platform change #1, #4, #5, #6 and #10 to see that her words mirror the 1972 platform change.

October 1966 Platform
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else.
March 1972 Platform
5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowledge of self. If (a man removed) you do not have knowledge of (himself removed) yourself and (he removed) your position in the society and the world, then (he removed) you will have little chance to (relate removed) know anything else.
October 1966 Platform
6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service.
We believe that Black people should not be forced to fight in the military service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America. We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary.
March 1972 Platform
6. We want completely free health care for all Black and oppressed people.
We believe that the government must provide, free of charge, for the people, health facilities which will not only treat our illnesses, most of which have come about as a result of our oppression, but which will also develop preventative medical programs to guarantee our future survival. We believe that mass health education and research programs must be developed to give all Black and oppressed people access to advanced scientific and medical information, so we may provide ourselves with proper medical attention and care.
Note: This whole section of the platform changed from “military” to “healthcare”
October 1966 Platform
7. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of black people.
We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by organizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self defense.
March 1972 Platform
7. We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of Black people, other people of color, all oppressed people inside the United States.
We believe that the racist and fascist government of the United States uses its domestic enforcement agencies to carry out its program of oppression against Black people, other people of color and poor people inside the United States. We believe it is our right, therefore, to defend ourselves against such armed forces, and that all Black and oppressed people should be armed for self-defense of our homes and communities against these fascist police forces.
October 1966 Platform
8. We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.
We believe that all black people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial.
March 1972 Platform
8. We want an immediate end to all wars of aggression.
We believe that the various conflicts which exist around the world stem directly from the aggressive desires of the U.S. ruling circle and government to force its domination upon the oppressed people of the world. We believe that if the U.S. government or its lackeys do not cease these aggressive wars that it is the right of the people to defend themselves by any means necessary against their aggressors.
Note: Platform changed from “freedom of prisoners in jail” to”end all wars”
October 1966 Platform
9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States.
We believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious, geographical, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black community from which the black defendant came. We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the "average reasoning man" of the black community.
March 1972 Platform
9. We want freedom for all Black and poor oppressed people now held in U.S. federal, state, county, city and military prisons and jails. We want trials by a jury of peers for all persons charged with so-called crimes under the laws of this country.
We believe that the many Black and poor oppressed people now held in U.S. prisons and jails have not received fair and impartial trials under a racist and fascist judicial system and should be free from incarceration. We believe in the ultimate elimination of all wretched, inhuman penal institutions, because the masses of men and women imprisoned inside the United States or by the U.S. military are the victims of oppressive conditions which are the real cause of their imprisonment. We believe that when persons are brought to trial that they must be guaranteed, by the United States, juries of their peers, attorneys of their choice and freedom from imprisonment while awaiting trials.
October 1966 Platform
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebiscite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny.
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
March 1972 Platform
10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace and people's community control of modern technology.

Bobby Rush, Bobby Seale, Jesse Jackson, Barack Obama, Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Ward Churchill, Jeremiah Wright, Angela Davis, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to name a few.
These individuals were involved with violent radical organizations that have achieved most of what they were advocating in regards to the racial suppression yet they all today spew the same rhetoric as if there have been no shift against racism in this country. They use the platform to continue to grow their individual power standing on the shoulders of an outdated concern.
Most of those on the list today have amassed great power and influence because of racism. Most of those on the list have been involved in murder, terror and activities that are treasonous against the USA. For instance:
Bobby Seale, Professor Temple University (Co-Founder of the Black Panthers):
Then:
Seale was put on trial again in 1970 in the New Haven Black Panther trials. Several officers of the Panther organization had "executed" a fellow Panther, Alex Rackley, because they believed he was informing for the FBI.
The leader of the murder plan, George Sams, jr., turned state's evidence and testified that he had been ordered to kill Rackley by Seale himself, who had visited New Haven only hours before the murder. The jury was unable to reach a verdict in Seale's trial, and the charges were eventually dropped.
Now:
In more recent years, Seale’s actions differ greatly from the radical ones of his past. In 1987, he authored a cookbook called Barbequing with Bobby and was also a spokesman for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. In the early 1990's Seale appeared on the TV documentary series 'Cold War' reminiscing about events in the 1960s.
In 2002, Seale began dedicating his time to Reach!, a group focused on youth education programs. Also, he taught black studies at Temple University in Philadelphia and is currently launching an instructional, nonprofit group helping people develop the necessary techniques and tools to set up community organization within their neighborhoods.
Tom Hayden, 68 Helped lead the antiwar protest at the Democratic National Convention
I never feared for my life during the attacks. I think it must be like a soldier in a war zone. Your adrenaline is so high that you’re not thinking those thoughts. I’m being clubbed and slugged; I was gassed. The gassing seemed perpetual. The officers seemed to be just wantonly beating people. It was without boundaries. I was arrested twice in two days. I don’t know if my body or lungs could withstand it today. When you’re young, the body seems to want to survive. —Tom Hayden was cofounder of the Students for a Democratic Society, and one of the organizers of the anti-Vietnam war demonstration outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. Now a writer and researcher, he teaches sociology at Pitzer College in Clairmont, California, and is a member of the editorial board of The Nation.
Married to Jane Fonda. Went to Vietnam with her during her Hanoi Jane days.
MARK RUDD, 60 Student leader of the Columbia occupation
All of us grew up either in the civil rights movement or watching it. It was on television, and what got communicated was the notion that what an individual does can actually make a difference. So we used that organizing model—education, one-on-one engagement, confrontation. Closing down Columbia University over the war and over its institutional racism served as a model for others and helped build that movement. My friends and I developed a theory that what had happened at Columbia could not only be replicated on many other college campuses, but also that it could be replicated in the society as a whole. I really thought a revolution was possible in 1968. I staked my life on it. I think I had too much of a eureka moment. —Twenty-year-old Mark Rudd became the poster boy for student rebellion on April 23, 1968, when, as chairman of the Columbia University chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), he led the eight-day occupation of university buildings in protest of the school’s relationship with the military, including a military research consortium known as the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA), and Columbia’s plans to build a new gymnasium in a city park between itself and nearby Harlem—despite protests from the mostly African American community there. Rudd later helped form the Weathermen, an SDS splinter group that advocated armed revolutionary struggle. In March 1970, following an explosion at a Weathermen bomb factory in the West Village, Rudd went underground in a flight from the law that lasted seven years. Today, he is an outspoken critic of the turn to violent struggle by the New Left in the late ’60s.
KATHLEEN NEAL CLEAVER, 63 Former wife of Black Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver
Four months after I get married, here’s my husband charged with three counts of attempted murder. It’s two days after King’s assassination, the height of the war. It’s madness, off-the-hook—you never knew what was going to happen. But you make a decision when you join a revolutionary movement: What’s most important in the world—your private existence or the collective transformation of the community? This tremendous legacy of fighting against slavery is what we were keying in on. We were young, and we were trying new things, but we knew we had inherited a struggle. One of the problems for today’s youth is that they don’t know how to handle this inheritance, and don’t really understand in some sense what they’ve inherited. There are many people who think the hip-hop culture activities are a political movement! I think the commercialization and the failure of public education, and the collapse of solid, working-class black communities because of changes in the economy, are all taking a huge hit on the community of people who would be furthering that legacy. [In 1968] we were taking something that was already there and making it sound and look different and cooler. We didn’t invent political rallies, we didn’t invent protests, but we did something with political rallies and protests that nobody else was doing. We were reformulating how black people thought about participating in the political process, because politics was kind of strange to black people, particularly ghetto teenagers. You know, “What’s politics?” So we were trying to break it down, like Bobby Seale would say: “Break it down to the real nitty-gritty.” —Kathleen Neal Cleaver's transformation from daughter of a college professor to a “stomp-down revolutionary” battling “domestic imperialism” was complete by 1968. She’d dropped out of Barnard College to join the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and in 1967 moved to San Francisco and married Black Panther leader and Soul on Ice author Eldridge Cleaver. The next year Eldridge would be involved in a shootout with Oakland police, and eventually Kathleen would emerge as the public face of the Black Panthers. A committed activist still—she divorced the now-deceased Eldridge in 1987—the Yale University graduate teaches law at Emory University in Atlanta.
The radical and violent 60’s activists that avoided serious jail time for their terror attacks against US targets on US soil have now come to enjoy cushy College jobs and several have been elected to political positions while others have started “community organizations” to further bring about socialism to this country. They are well funded and politically protected and connected in all upper echelons of the US Government. Recent media accounts of this include the Attorney General dropping charges against the “New Black Panthers” for white voter intimidation; Attorney General overturning Congress to allow ACORN to receive federal funding in spite of overwhelming evidence of corruption, voter fraud and political infiltration. Barack Obama was, and is still connected and protects ACORN, SEIU and other “community organizations” to further allow funding to these nefarious and violent groups to radically change America, after all it is what he promised in his “Hope and Change” platform. Let’s hope this platform is also changed before it is too late to stop it.
America was supposed to have transcended “race” with the election of Barack Obama yet the race card is ever so prevalent. The race baiters and violent extremists of the past that have since become irrelevant have changed (starting in 1972) from “race” (primarily) to that of “class” to justify their existence. Now that we have reached the truth of the left’s goals to transfer wealth and transfer liberty to tyranny we must act. Everyone must act to educate the masses to the fraud of the century to reverse it.
