I will be the first to admit that I am not a PoliSci major. Never wanted to be. I have no interest in becoming a politician-by-trade. Although, I wouldn’t mind working at the State Legislative level in attempt to help make my State and Local governments a little better. What’s the difference you might ask? I want to HELP, not become a career politician. Most of the folks that ‘get there’, wind up becoming a career politician, living off the tax-payer’s dime for the rest of their lives. Sure, I work for some government agencies, it’s nice to get back a few of my tax dollars once in awhile. But I am no where near being a full time employee of the government.
Back on track. So…. over the years, I have developed a theory concerning the extreme liberal left. In my mind, I put together everything that I had seen and heard over the years and developed a theory that basically made me think there is a conspiracy to overthrow our government. Crazy, right? That’s kinda what I thought…… until last night… when I found a few websites written by PoliSci types that have deeply investigated the libbies and connected them in ways I had no clue was there. Some of these connections make perfect sense when I consider my personal theory that I could “see” in my minds-eye, but of course, thought was crazy because of the sheer magnitude of the conspiracy that would be needed. That coupled with the fact that I am not a political scholar by no-means. Not being educated in a particular field doesn’t mean one cannot understand what’s going on. It just takes someone a bit longer to see the entire scope of the operation.
I imagined, in my theory; Back in 1969, several left-wing-nut-jobs were sitting around a camp fire next to their chartruese micro-bus, singing “Cum By Ya” and tripping on some acid, while contemplating how to “take down the system”. It’s easy they’d say: “….man, all we have to do to beat the man is to play on his play ground, within his set of rules and just bend them slightly once in awhile. dude.” — or something like that. How hard is it to imagine that a group of “enlightened” young college types would have this conversation. I’d say conversations such as this took place thousands of times during the 60’s and 70’s. However, one such group made slight advances to getting to their ultimate goal, which was of course actually DOING IT.
Here’s a website that shows the links between these 60’s hippies and their strategies to bring forth a new Socialist United States of America:

A good scientist doesn’t match theories in order to prove their own theory. I know this and completely understand it. The problem is, I wasn’t looking for a theory to match mine and had no clue one existed. Being a layperson in the world of politics, I don’t know all of the players behind the scenes, I don’t know the catch-phrases for certain events, etc. I do however know that “spreading the wealth” isn’t what this country was founded on and the majority of the people of these United States do not condone a government that is subversively changing the foundation by which we believe. I believed what I believed and didn’t really care if it did or did not match another’s opinion. Once I read the website above, I saw that it was completely possible that our government was well on it’s way to being overthrown and it really scared the hell out of me.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis is completely possible because of one major factor: The heartland of America is so complacent in their lives, they cannot believe a strategy such as this would be implemented by their politicians and academics. The general public is so naive when it comes to politics, they’re still under the impression that the democratic process of voting and electing, the branches of government and the overall “process” still works, if given enough time to “work itself out”. I fear that’s no longer the case and if we continue to allow this complacency without due diligence, we’re going to lose this country as we know it, either to internal socialists or foreign interests.
