Contrary to popular opinion Communism was never destroyed, it simply packed its bags and moved to Europe and then on to America, where it now lives happily under the disguise of liberal political correctness. From Liberté, égalité, fraternité, to 'Bread for all' and onto diversity, equality and State dependency.

After the Russian revolution, Marxist Intellectuals were amazed that the workers of Europe weren't clamouring for Communism and a study research center was set up in Germany in 1923, commonly known as the 'Frankfurt school', but officially 'The Institute for Social Research', to disguise its links to Communism. If the proletariat weren't bright enough to figure it out they had to be forced into it for their own good, but first the society in place had to be dumbed down enough for people to accept it.

The 'school' led by the intellectual Marxists Horkheimer and Adorno proposed, amongst other ideas, the following eleven points on how to dumb down a society using a concept known in Sociology as 'Critical theory'. See if you can spot the similarities between what was proposed and America today.   

1. The creation of racism offences
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools and teachers' authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy national identity
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. The emptying the churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against the victim of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family

Hitler closed down the research center and the Marxists fled to, yes you've guessed, America. It's where your Southern Poverty Law Center, ACORN and affirmative action stem from. America and Europe are now firmly entrenched in the 'dumbing down' period using political correctness to stifle dissent; Europe is simply further down this route than America.

Well done.

    I don't know how we assess Brother Nathanal, but regardless of his point of view, those are the facts about the atheist homosexual media.
           The coincidences are hard to ignore, as is the fact that subscribers are pulling the plugs on mainstream media in record numbers, that it is no longer a lunatic fringe viewpoint to avoid television, and that media bosses are pulling every imaginable string to perpetuate their versions of smut peddling over what ever avenues are available, including digital delivery and the personal screen.
       I single the WSJ because the transformation from America's most respected financial journal to a useless tabloid in such as short time has been nothing short of dazzling. Each front page links to a virtual storm surge of articles geared to the popular taste. Last week, one of the main headlines blared to take Apple over Google if you have to choose. The front page over the past 60 days reads like an advertisement for iPhone. Friday, the headline read, America is getting ready for its greatest period of job growth in ten years.  Just in time for the election.
       Give me a break!
       If we compiled a list of the most subversive, corrosive, erosive, anti cultural and counter cultural phenomena in this country and world, we would have a task limiting it to 25, and a task ordering the priorities.
       I would say near or at the top of the list would be the spread of recreational and addictive drugs. In whatever order, add leftist university indoctrination. The disappearance of Political and Judicial integrity would be right up there. And, of course, there is no way to escape the influence of the mainstream media.
         If Americans could only see themselves in the audio visual content they select, the picture might change.  But it will not.
       With niche targeted advertising, the smut peddlers now have methods to corrupt in a gradual and targeted manner. They have died and gone to heaven.
       There is an underground and growing sexual chastity, sexual purity movement underfoot and underway. That is one we should support.

I'm sure your all familiar with the 45 communist goals.  They're worth repeating here.

Current Communist Goals

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

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963



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

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

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

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

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

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

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

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

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

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

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

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

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

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

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

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

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

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

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

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

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

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but the citizens capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency.
