Kenders' Musings

**This is a long post, but worth the read I believe.**

In America today is an insidious movement underfoot to make us a much weaker nation. Created by communists, and outlined in a book called "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen, is a list of 45 goals to take over America. It is 41 years since this list was read into the Congressional Record, and looking back at those 45 years it terrifies me to see how many of these goals have been achieved.

These goals have been enacted by the democrats. The democrats have become an anti-American party. The ACLU their quiet cohorts. A right thinking person would see this list and demand that those in charge of the democratic party, and those running the ACLU, and in fact the monied interests behind the aclu, be brought up on charges of treason. That is correct. Treason.

We are barreling down the road to socialist annihilation, led by the left, and fed by apathy, and undereducated citizens that have been fed these leftist ideals and not taught to think critically.

Below is the list, with my comments concerning successes and dead points, (dead by history making them moot), and what that means now. I am sure I have missed some, and feel free to point those out. Also, feel free to counter these points and try to tell me how this list being implemented over the last 41 years has made this a better country. One last note to those of you that think this is a good thing. Communism is a dead-end street, and the most oppressive countries in history have been those that have adopted it.


THE LIST

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
(remove the word atomic, and we have one of the great talking points of the liberals in this country, i.e. "No War". Remember the talk of "unilateral disarmament" during the 80s?)

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
( Yet again another cry of the left, "No War No Matter What! Remember British Prime Minister Chamberlain, (late 30s) before WW2, before they kicked him out? They kicked him out right after he returned with a "paper" that assured peace with Hitler.)

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
(This one is already being bandied about in U.N. circles I am sure, and in fact has been accomplished in other 'free' countries, at least where the citizens are concerned, and those would be England and Austrailia.)

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
( This one was enacted in the western hemisphere with NAFTA, under Clinton, a dem., of course, and has been furthered by the trade policies with china.)

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
( this is an area I know little about....at the moment, but shows that even in 1963 the soviets needed our help.)

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
( This one really irks me. We send money to alot of pits around the world, and get nothing back, not even the good will of their people, i.e. egypt, and it is a practice we should stop.)

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
(Done, and done.)

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.
(this one no longer applies with the fall of the soviet empire, but the U.N. monitoring elections anymore is like having a fox watch the henhouse.)

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
(Atomic testing goes on around the world, with many countries achieving nuclear capabilities. A scary thought really. Just one insane man with a button to push and nothing to lose could bring hell to earth in an instance.)

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
(Alot of these 'soviet satellites have indeed joined the U.N., but they are no longer communist, and some are even heavily muslim.)

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.]
(this is my comment, a one world government is an idea whose time, should it come, would destroy America. This idea would causmore death and destruction than WW1 and WW2 combined, as it would turn into the U.S. citizenry against anyone that cared to step up and enforce it. Unless they succeed in disarming the populace here.)


12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
(outlawing the communist party has not been done, but a quick perusal of their site shows it may be time to bite the bullet and do just that, since most of them vote democrat anyway.)

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
(Communists hate loyalty oaths, unless it is to them. I wonder, if this all comes to pass, would soldiers in the U.N. armed forces be forced to take an oath to obey the U.N.A.F., even if it was to shoot there countrymen and neighbors? Oh wait, there would be no loyalty to any country at that point would there?)

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
( I am still trying to figure this one out.)

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
(Oh boy they have...the democrats. If you don't believe it just pop on over to the CPUSA site or and the Dems site and see how many points they match on.)

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
(Wow has this one gone on and succeeded big time. Think Boy Scouts, Christmas displays and a whole host of others.)

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.
( This one is succeeding as well. They left has tried to outlaw homeschooling, and may make inroads into it sooner than later. They are attacking private education, unless it is at the college level, where they have a virtual monopoly on leftwing ideology. They have softened the curriculum, note the sorry state of test scores and the sad lack of knowledge public school students have, no matter how much money gets tossed at it. The teachers unions are the students worst enemy.)

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
(They are doing this, especially on college and university campuses. Even teh mainstream press, (another leftist bastion) noted the support for the left before the last election, and in fact the kerry camp was counting on first time votes from college kids that, luckily, never materialized.)

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
( Again, Boy Scouts, World Economic conferences and the list goes on. Who do you think wacausing all teh riots a couple of years back in seattle and NYC?)

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
(One word here...Done...example, NY Times, LA Times, and most other major newspapers you care to mention. It isn't complete though. Even the NY tImes couldn't keep Michael Savage off the best seller list.)

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
(This has been done, and usually I don't agree with censorship, but the FCC is correct to take back the airwaves and try to stall the fall of this country.)

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."
(Wow, some of what passes for "art" really fits teh "shapeless, awkward and meaningless" description doesn't it? And the liberals fawn over it and say how "avant-garde" it is. I am beginning to suspect that "avant-garde" is french for fuckin ugly.)

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
( O.K., see last comment by me.)

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
(If the left is not up in arms about the FCC and calling it censorship then I am a blue monkey. This one has been an ongoing campaign since the 60's)

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
(Witness this one at work. Twelve year old girls dressing as they do these days. Young kids with absolutely no respect for anything and using foul language all the time. the lack of any morals that alot of children grow up with. I have seen this first hand, in the "rainbow parties" my little brothers would tell me about before they graduated high school last year. The girls at these parties would brag to me about them.
)
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
(What you do in the privacy of your house, as an adult, is fine, but when the schools start teaching homosexuality courses (obstensibly under the guise of tolerance) to first graders things have gone too far.)

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."
( Wow, "religious crutch"...a left wing term if I ever heard one. This one is still ongoing, and the fight is far from over.)

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."
(This one, unfortunately, is succeeding. The ACLU is the most un-American group that has ever fouled our country, and the money behind it should be brought to task for their treason.)

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.
( This one is starting to take hold, but only in the liberal camp. The constitution is a timeless document whose truths could, if the left can be defeated, lead teh world to a better place.)

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
(The American Founding Fathers were anything but aristocrats. Common men who rose up through an onerous british tax system, finally throwing off that yoke once it got too heavy, and creating a country of free men. This one is not quite working too well yet, although if the schools aren't reined in it will take hold better.)

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.
(This one is not completely enacted, although it is getting there with the advent of 'world history' having more emphasis in the schools, and American history has been under attack from the left and the aclu, trying to downplay the importance of our countries founding and throwing focus onto the parts of our history that we are rightfully ashamed of, i.e. slavery.)

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
( This one is in full swing. The government runs all of these things, and not well I may add.)

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
( Slowly but surely this one is gaining ground. Think aclu, a group that claims to be pro constitution, but is anti American.)

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
(Done.)

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
(They have been working on this for awhile. Doesn't seem to be working yet.)

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
(This is one seems to be working. Unions are actually driving business out of the country, with wage demands that make it more profitable for business to move elsewhere.)

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
( This one I am up in the air about. Perhaps by proxy this one is working. With unions driving business out of the country perhaps the communists dont actually have to be in control of the companies to drive us down their dark road.)

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].
( This has been done quite effectively. With criminals being labeled 'troubled' and in need of "therapy", I would have to sya this one is a big fucking success.)

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
( In other words, if you oppose them you will be labeled nuts and tossed in a loonybin and medicated beyond all thinking. Nice.)

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
( Wow, another success. This is a leftist tactic, the charge being led by schools and pop culture, and propped up in the courts. It is now legal in California for your kid to leave the school campus and go get medical attention, (birth control, abortion, treatment for VD) without the parents being notified. In other words, you have no right, as a parent, to know when your kid may be in trouble.)

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.
( Yet another success. How can parents be a negative influence? Good parents, the majority of them by the way, want their children safe and what is best for their children. Most every parent I have ever known, including me, would die, literally, before letting their child suffer.)

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.
(This one is succeeding to a point, and violence was necessary at one time against the 'government', when that government was british, and it may be again if these goals all succeed.)

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
( They may have this one, I don't know at the moment. They are certainly trying this in Iraq. Perhaps the 'insurgents' have read this list also?)

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
(I believe that Panama runs the canal now.)

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.
( My comment? This has been an ongoing battle ever since the U.N. charter was ratified in 1945. If we ever lose the Connally Reservation we are screwed beyond belief and it will be a short time between that and the U.N. rtying to tell us what to do. It will be an even shorter time between teh U.N. trying to tell us what to do, or not to do, and us (the CITIZENS OF THE U.S., you know, the Free fellows with all the personal guns?) telling the U.N. to fuck off. Unless the U.N. and teh left dos manage to take our guns...then we are screwed.)

Here is another link, explaining the history, in short form, of the Connally Reservation.
