Saul Alinsky helped to establish the confrontational political tactics that
characterized the 1960s and have remained central to all subsequent
_REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS_ in the United States.
Obama never met Alinsky personally.
Alinsky died when Obama was a young boy, BUT Obama was _trained_ by the
Alinsky-founded INDUSTRIAL AREAS FOUNDATION in Chicago and worked for an
affiliate of the GAMALIEL FOUNDATION, whose modus operandi for the creation of
"a more just and democratic society" is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.
In the Alinsky model, "organizing" is a euphemism for "REVOLUTION" - a wholesale
_revolution_ whose ultimate OBJECTIVE is the _SYSTEMATIC ACQUISITION OF POWER BY
A PURPORTEDLY OPPRESSED SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION, AND THE RADICAL
TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICA'S SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE._
Is this why Obama is running on a platform of "CHANGE?"
The GOAL is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright
chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted.
The result would be a _revolution_ whose foot soldiers view the status quo as
fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvaging.
The theory says that the people will settle for nothing less than the status
quo's complete collapse - _TO BE FOLLOWED BY THE ERECTION OF AN ENTIRELY NEW
SYSTEM UPON ITS RUINS._
TOWARD THE END, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic RADICAL
ORGANIZERS, such as Obama, who project an aura of confidence and vision and whom
professes to clearly understand what type of societal "CHANGES" are needed.
Alinsky's brand of _revolution_ was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping,
overnight transformations of social institutions.
Richard Poe put it this way: "Alinsky viewed _revolution_ as a slow, patient
process.
"The trick was to penetrate (infiltrate) existing institutions such as churches,
unions, and political parties."
Alinsky advised ORGANIZERS and their disciples (Obama) to quietly, subtly gain
influence within the _decision-making_ ranks of these institutions and to
INTRODUCE CHANGES from the platform.
For several years, Obama _TAUGHT WORKSHOPS_ on the Alinsky method.
Now he wants to be president and implement these social CHANGES toward the New
World Order!!!
The Chicago Connection: Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky
The Turrish Weekly - Richard Poe
Most Americans have never heard of Saul Alinsky.
Yet his shadow _darkens_ our coming election.
Democrat frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama both worship at the altar
of Alinskyism.
In a 1971 book called RULES FOR RADICALS, Alinsky scolded the _SIXTIES LEFT_ for
scaring off potential converts in Middle America.
True _revolutionaries_ do not flaunt their _RADICALISM,_ Alinsky taught.
They cut their hair, put on suits and INFILTRATE THE SYSTEM from within.
In his native Chicago, Alinsky courted power wherever he found it.
His alliance with prominent Catholic clerics, such as Bishop Bernard Shell, gave
him respectability.
His friendship with crime bosses such as Frank Nitti, Al Capone's
second-in-command, gave Alinsky clout on the street.
In the Richard Poe and David Horowitz book - THE SHADOW PARTY: HOW GEORGE SOROS,
HILLARY CLINTON AND SIXTIES RADICALS SEIZED CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, we
trace the rise of Alinsky's political influence since the 1930s.
He excelled at wooing wealthy financiers.
Start-up money for his INDUSTRIAL AREAS FOUNDATION,_ A SCHOOL FOR RADICAL
ORGANIZERS,_ came from department store mogul _Marshall Field III,_ Sears
Roebuck heiress _Adele Rosenwald Levy_ and _Gardiner Howland Shaw, an assistant
secretary of state for Franklin Roosevelt._
