Hillary and Saul

John Amendall

    If Hillary runs for office and is elected, the Nanny State will be further entrenched increasing our dependency on the government. This leaves little doubt that as Obama exits the White House a super care-giver Nanny could enter and preside over the Nanny state. (FP Christmas Edition 2014 John Amendall)

    Most Americans have never heard of Saul Alinsky (1909-1972) but Hillary Rodham Clinton has. He was a communist/Marxist, who through his books, lectures and correspondence, helped establish the tactics of infiltration into a capitalist state. His relevance deserves serious attention because of his influence on President Obama and in particular Hillary Clinton as a presidential candidate.
    In Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals he invoked the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves. It is a challenge to perceive Hillary (Wellesley, Yale Law School), Barack Obama (Occidental College, Harvard Law School), Michelle Obama (Princeton University, Harvard Law School) and Saul Alinsky (University of Chicago) as Have-Nots. What is wrong with this picture?
    A standing president and presidential candidate have assumed the roles of Have-Nots undermining the Haves which they actually belong to. By affecting this underdog role they’re attempting to represent the Have-Nots against the Haves as they strive to impose a socialist government on the nation. Obama clearly wanted to move America to a larger version of England’s socialist society.
    His supporters including impartial broadcasters of major systems adamantly denied this. This makes them seriously suspect as to their intelligence or integrity in regards to Obama’s blatant message.
    In his books Alinsky identified levels of control necessary to create a social state. Some historians opined that Alinsky was a poor man’s Vladimer Lenin simplifying a scheme for world conquest by communism, under Russian rule. Stalin considered Lenin’s converts as Useful Idiots. Obviously we resisted this through World War II and beyond but are now facing a new run of Useful Idiots for socialism.
    According to Alinsky the most important level of control is health care. If you control health care, you control peoples lives. Simple as that. A retired acquaintance of mine visiting England experienced an accident with minor injury. After receiving hospital treatment he was surprised to learn he wasn’t billed for medical services. He was amazed. Thought it was wonderful. My first thought was that English tax payers were paying for the medical treatment of an American capable of affording a round trip to England including room and board and other activities. How seductive that was for a person who had worked hard all his life paying taxes assuming responsibility for his livelihood.
    Another level of control involved poverty. Increase poverty level as high as possible. Poor people are easier to control and will not resist as long as the state provides everything for them to live.
    Still another level of control involves raising the national debt to an unsustainable level. This requires raising taxes producing more poverty. So poverty increases and tax paying Haves must up the ante for the Have-Nots.
    Gun control was another Alinsky favorite. Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. You are able to create a police state. Stalin was certainly successful at this.
    Implement extensive welfare programs. The Government should control every aspect of their lives (food, housing, income). I’m still waiting for welfare programs to move generations of indigents to productive citizens. We’ve long lost control of welfare programs where monitoring efficiency and productivity and enforcing legitimate qualification is deemed offensive to recipients.
    Another insidious control involved education. If you control what people read and listen to you take control of what children learn in school. There is no need for a Department of Education. While recognizing that some states are more committed than others, this responsibility should be assumed at the state level.
    This was an important item for Alinsky. Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools. Religion is the opium of the people (Karl Marx). Flies in the face of: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; ? The United States is numerically represented by Christianity (70%). This status coexists with other religions (Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Mormonism, et al). Alinsky would have none of this, but he’d be pleased that the number of unaffiliated has increased in the last ten years.
    Another Alinsky dictum. Engage in class warfare. Divide the people into the Haves and Have-Nots. Thus causing more discontent making it easier to tax the Haves to support the Have-Nots.
    Does any of the above sound familiar as happening in the Unites States?
    Let’s see. The Affordable Care Act was not supported by the majority of the people. Caries a fine for failure to comply. Medicare is being raided to pay for Obamacare.
    Forty-five million Americans currently qualify below poverty guidelines. Hasn’t appreciably changed since 2010. Obama has attempted to expand the level of qualification thereby increasing the number of Americans below the poverty level depending on Government support. In another one of his numerous executive orders short circuiting congressional approval Obama significantly increased the number of food stamps immediately after his second election. During his second term he expanded the period of workmen’s compensation on unemployment from 90 days to 180 days.
    In regards to class warfare no president in the 20^th ?century has ever been as divisive as Obama. He demonized Governor Romney as an unrepentant rich man vilifying Haves against Haves-Nots. Coincidentally he named John Kerry one of the most wealthy members of congress as Secretary of State. Based on wealth why was Kerry so acceptable in a position of such influence compared to Romney?
    The national debt was $10 trillion when Obama took office in 2008. In 2015 the debt is $18 trillion and may reach $20 trillion by term’s end. In the face of a $10 trillion debt Obama imposed the largest social program (Obamacare) since LBJ’s Great Society Program. The latter co-opted the Social Security retirement trust into the general trust to pay for his program. So the Obama administration has increased the debt by 80% requiring higher tax rates for Haves to pay their fair share of taxes for the Have-Nots.
    This is the direction the nation has taken. Alinsky’s influence on Obama’s programs, executive orders, and appointment of socialist program czars has been enormous.
    In the immediate future 2016 we will elect a new president. FDR started us down the road to socialism with his New Deal; and LBJ expanded this thrust with his Great Society; and Obamacare has moved us much closer to socialized medicine, what might we expect from Alinsky’s protégée Hillary Clinton?
    In addition to her senior thesis on Saul Alinsky, we now know there was a significant level of correspondence between the two. Hillary should be seriously challenged during her presidential run about the level of Alinsky’s radical views on her future proposed programs.
