Rules For Radicals, Obama, and Clinton
April 6th, 2015
Saul Alinsky was born in Chicago, IL in 1909, wrote “Rules For Radicals” in 1971, and died in 1972. He was a hard core Marxist and radical activist best known for being a professional community organizer who founded the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF) in 1940. It is a Chicago-based community-organizing network whose mission has always been to “build organizations whose chief product and primary purpose are respectively, social change and power, the ability to act”. The mission is underpinned by Marxist ideology.
Of note, Alinsky mentored Clinton who was so impressed with him, his philosophy, methods, and Marxism that they formed the basis of her thesis at Wellesley College
Marxism’s Core in Brief: It might be of benefit in understanding the ramifications of this blog to succinctly describe the core of Marxism so please be indulgent in that regard. Marxism is an ideology with a deep-rooted hatred of the West, and in particular, America. Marxist acolytes combine this disdain with a fervent desire to destroy and replace her culture, traditions, and values with their ideology. Inherent therein are loss of freedom of expression, thought control, inversion of the traditional values and social order, and ultimately, a totalitarian state enforcing radical egalitarianism.
It is important to know that political correctness which dominates the Western world is Marxism disguised as progressivism to hide its true identity. I’ve explained this in great detail in archived blogs and will provide specific blogs if you are interested in learning more.
Rules For Radicals: Consistent with IAF’s aforementioned mission of effecting social change with action, Alinsky launched the IAF Training Institute in 1969 as a 'school for professional radicals specializing in training community organizers in the tactics of revolutionary social change as he outlined'. Alinsky‘s “Rules For Radicals”, is a ‘how to’ book that rapidly became the bible for radical activists that hated America. Below are Alinsky’s twelve fundamental rules. I encourage you to read and ponder them carefully because they are a derivative of the core psychology underlying Obama’s blueprint to destroy America.
RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood. (These are two things of which there is a plentiful supply. Government and corporations always have a difficult time appealing to people, and usually do so almost exclusively with economic arguments.)
RULE 2: “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)
RULE 3: “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
RULE 6: “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones. (Radical activists, in this sense, are no different that any other human being. We all avoid “un-fun” activities, and but we revel at and enjoy the ones that work and bring results.)
RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)
RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)
RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. (Perception is reality. Large organizations always prepare a worst-case scenario, something that may be furthest from the activists’ minds. The upshot is that the organization will expend enormous time and energy, creating in its own collective mind the direst of conclusions. The possibilities can easily poison the mind and result in demoralization.)
RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management’s wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)
RULE 11: “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemies score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem. (Old saw: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Activist organizations have an agenda, and their strategy is to hold a place at the table, to be given a forum to wield their power. So, they have to have a compromise solution.)
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
America and Rules For Radicals: The application and utilization of these rules in America are obviously not new. Following in the footsteps of the founding cultural Marxists, circa 1923, Alinsky knew that combining their tactics of patience, political correctness, and critical theory with behavioral psychology would achieve the desired end result he sought: mass systemic disruption of America and eventually the destruction of her culture, traditions, and values. Alinsky consistently preached "True revolutionaries don't flaunt their radicalism. They cut their hair, put on suits, and infiltrate the system from within".
Alinsky’s Model Student: Obama was a tailor made student for Alinsky's philosophy and methods he learned from professional community organizers who taught at the IAF Training Institute and became a hard-core acolyte. He was a radical black activist that detested and wanted to fundamentally transform America.
As you read and consider Alinsky’s rules put them in perspective relative to what has happened to America during Obama’s appalling reign of destruction. Thanks to a worthless congress enabling, supporting, and cheering Obama’s every illegal act and edict he is well on his way to destroying our country. If he ultimately succeeds I believe Islam will trump Marxist ideology… all to Alinsky’s chagrin.
Clinton: Clinton’s marriage and associated public exposure have not provided the opportunity to propagate Alinsky’s Marxist concepts and effect dramatic social and cultural change, but in 1993 she gave it a shot with Hillarycare albeit disguised. For a number of years Clinton had Wellesley secrete her thesis on Alinsky in typical Clinton style and it speaks for itself. In my opinion implementing Marxist ideology in America has always bubbled just below her surface and if Clinton is elected president, God forbid, she will finish off Obama’s remnants if any remain.
