Atlas Shrugs: THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

mdd says

"Looks like the Soros Plan,
The Hilary Plan,
The Usama Plan
The Islam
Plan
The Putin Plan
The UN Plan.

Please, make it go away.

On Jan. 10, 1963, Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. of Florida read a list of 45
Communist goals into the Congressional Record. The list was derived from
researcher Cleon Skousen’s book “The Naked Communist.” These principles are well
worth revisiting today in order to gain insights into the thinking and
strategies of much of our so-called liberal elite.
1. U.S. should accept
coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. should be
willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

These
encapsulate the Kennan Doctrine, which advocated for the "containment" of
communism. Establishment figures supporting the amoral containment policy at
least implicitly worked with the communists in scaring the wits out of the
American people concerning atomic war.
President Ronald Reagan undid the
doctrine when he took an aggressive stand against the Evil Empire by backing
freedom fighters from around the world that were struggling against the
left-wing communist jackboot. As a result, the Soviet Union and its satellites
imploded, a considerable and unexpected setback to the international communist
edifice.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the U.S.
would be a demonstration of "moral strength."
The nuclear freeze advocates
supported a freeze on American nuclear development only. Rarely were Soviet
nukes or those of other nations mentioned in their self-righteous tirades. The
same advocates now call for reducing American military might, claiming that
there is something immoral about America preserving its military pre-eminence in
the world.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of
Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for
war.

Today, there are calls to end the embargo on the slave island of
Cuba, there were complaints about the embargo against Iraq, and the U.S., not
Saddam Hussein, was blamed for the suffering of the Iraqi people. Would they
have advocated for free trade with Hitler and his National Socialist regime?

5. Extend long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6.
Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

Such aid and trade over decades contributed greatly to the left-wing
communist liquidation of over 100 million people worldwide, according to the
well-documented "Black Book of Communism."
This aid and trade marks a
shameful chapter in American history. Without the aid and trade, the left-wing
international communist behemoth would have imploded on its own rot a lot sooner
and umpteen millions would have been saved from poverty, misery, starvation and
death.
7. Grant recognition of Red China and admission of Red China to the
U.N.

Not only did President Jimmy Carter fulfill this goal but he also
betrayed America’s allies in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Iran, Afghanistan, Angola
and elsewhere.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in
spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free
elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to
ban atomic tests because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as
negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual
representation in the U.N.

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.

There are still
American intellectuals, and elected members of Congress, who dream of an
eventual one world government and who view the U.N., founded by communists such
as Alger Hiss, the first secretary-general, as the instrument to bring this
about.
World government was also the dream of Adolf Hitler and J.V. Stalin.
World government was the dream of Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers.

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do
away with loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S.
Patent Office.

While the idea of banning any political party runs
contrary to notions of American freedom and liberty, notions that are the exact
opposite of those held by the left-wing communists themselves, nevertheless
these goals sought to undermine the constitutional obligation of Congress to
investigate subversion. The weakening of our government’s ability to conduct
such investigations led to the attack of 9/11.
It is entirely proper and
appropriate for our government to expect employees, paid by the American
taxpayer, to take an oath of loyalty.

15. Capture one or both of the
political parties in the U.S.

In his book "Reagan’s War," Peter
Schweizer demonstrates the astonishing degree to which communists and communist
sympathizers have penetrated the Democratic Party. In his book, Schweizer writes
about the presidential election of 1979.

16. Use technical decisions of
the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities
violate civil rights.

This strategy goes back to the founding of the
American Civil Liberties Union by Fabian Socialists Roger Baldwin and John Dewey
and Communists William Z. Foster and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn among 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.

18. Gain
control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment
public protests against programs or organizations that are under Communist
attack.

The success of these goals, from a communist perspective, is
obvious. Is there any doubt this is so?

20. Infiltrate the press. Get
control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of
artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good
sculpture from parks and buildings," substituting shapeless, awkward and
meaningless forms.

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums.
" Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24.Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship"
and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural
standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books,
magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

26. Present homosexuality,
degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural and healthy."

This is the
Gramscian agenda of the "long march through the institutions" spelled out
explicitly: gradual takeover of the "means of communication" and then using
those vehicles to debauch the culture and weaken the will of the individual to
resist. Today those few who still have the courage to advocate public morality
are denounced and viciously attacked. Most Americans are entirely unwitting
regarding the motives behind this agenda.

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."

This has been largely accomplished through the communist
infiltration of the National Council of Churches, Conservative and Reform
Judaism, and the Catholic seminaries.

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase
of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the
principle of "separation of church and state"
Replacing belief in the
creator with belief in the earthly man-controlled State.

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.
And replace our nation of "laws, not men" with royal decree emanating
from appointed judges and executive orders. Replace elected officials with
bureaucrats.

30. Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them
as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

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.

Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of
freedom, liberty and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then
and now.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control
over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs,
mental health clinics, etc.
Public ownership of the means of production, the
core principle of totalitarianism.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures
which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34.
Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit
and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of
more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

Turn America into a socialist police state.

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.

The Soviets used to send "social misfits" and those deemed
"politically incorrect" to massive mental institutions called gulags. The Red
Chinese call them lao gai. Hitler called them concentration camps.

39.
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of
gaining coercive control over those who oppose communist goals.
Psychiatry
remains a bulwark of the communist agenda of fostering self-criticism and
docility.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage
promiscuity and easy divorce.

Done! The sovereign family is the single
most powerful obstacle to authoritarian control.

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.

Outcome-based education, values clarification or whatever
they’re calling it this year. (Hillary’s book – "It Takes a Village")

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 make a "united force" to solve economic, political or social
problems.

This describes the dialectical fostering of group
consciousness and conflict, which furthers the interests of authoritarianism.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are
ready for self-government.
The results of this successful campaign are
increasingly obvious in the world today.

44. Internationalize the Panama
Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent
the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World
Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction
over nations and individuals alike.

This would mark a complete
subversion of our Constitution and an end to representative sovereign government
as we know it, which is the whole idea.

Not to mentio that over 100 million were killed under communism outside of war. But Democrats hate details. FACTS ARE IRRELEVANT!
