America’s leftist elites are subverting the
U.S. from within by means of the
‘Cloward-Piven Strategy.’
By Doug Mainwaring
WASHINGTON, D.C., April 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Amid the government's
aggressive response to the coronavirus pandemic, many suggest that much of the
United States is under de facto Martial Law. With citizens ordered to stay
home, businesses forced to shut down, and even church services banned
– with violators subject to onerous fines and jail time – it
certainly feels that way.
And with some cities encouraging
citizens to snitch on
their neighbors suspected of skirting lockdown orders; with scenes of lone surfers
and joggers, moms taking
their kids to playgrounds, Christians sitting in
their cars in church parking lots, and peaceful
pro-life abortion protesters being ticketed or arrested and
hauled off by police – despite practicing common sense social distancing
– the U.S. has begun to feel more like communist East Germany under
the Stasi’s reign
of terror than the land of the free and the home of the
brave.
And with tens of millions thrown out of work – over 25
million as of today – while elites continue their lives of
privilege unruffled, the most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of
the world has begun to feel more like a third world country.
Some state governors appear
giddy with their new found powers to exert what amounts to tyrannical
control over their citizens, as if the U.S. Constitution on
display in the National Archives had been torn up in the same way House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi brazenly
ripped apart President Donald Trump’s speech as he wrapped up
his 2020 State of the Union Address.
But all of these are merely symptoms pointing to something
insidious, meant to fundamentally change the USA forever: The Cloward-Piven
Strategy.
What leftist elites couldn't accomplish under Obama,
because of the massive pushback of the Tea Party that blocked them, they now
hope to accomplish through the coronavirus pandemic. What they could not
accomplish after their hopes were dashed, when Donald J. Trump came out of
nowhere to beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, they now hope to accomplish by means
of this crisis
.
That became perfectly clear last week when former President
Barack Hussein Obama stepped out of the shadows and announced his
support for Democrat Joe Biden’s White House bid.
But Obama did more than that. The man who explicitly
promised to “fundamentally
transform the United States of America,” who saw his presidency as “the moment when the rise of the
oceans began to slow, and our planet began to heal,” stated the
agenda our nation’s leftist elites now have in store for us:
If I were running today, I wouldn’t run the same race or
have the same platform as I did in 2008. The world is different; there’s too
much unfinished business for us to just look backwards. We have to look to the
future.
Even before the pandemic turned the world upside down, it
was already clear that we needed real structural change.
So we need to do more than just tinker around the edges
with tax credits or underfunded programs. We have to go further ...
The leftist elites, the globalists, desperately need the
United States to succumb to their plans and they are exploiting the current
pandemic to employ the Cloward-Piven Strategy in order to drag America the
Beautiful into line with socialism, with the ultimate goal of establishing a
Marxist state.
They are intent on going further than any of us might think
possible in pursuit of their dream of making America un-American.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy
The Cloward–Piven strategy was outlined in a 1966 article
in The Nation headlined “The Weight of
the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty,” penned by American
sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven.
Their scheme called for overloading the U.S. public welfare
system in order to create a massive political crisis that would force the
welfare system to be replaced with a national system of a guaranteed annual
income as a means to end poverty.
Simply put, their strategy aimed to force political change
through an orchestrated crisis.
David
Horowitz/Discover the Networks explained:
The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the
fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of
impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.
Tens of millions now unemployed, small businesses –– which
have always been the backbone of our nation’s economy – boarded up, and $2
trillion spent by the federal government in the blink of an eye in order to
keep the nation afloat, are all due to a manufactured economic crisis in order
to avoid, we are told, a greater medical crisis.
The result, predicted Cloward and Piven, would be “a
profound financial and political crisis” that would unleash “powerful forces …
for major economic reform at the national level.”
Dear reader: Doesn’t that describe exactly what we are now
witnessing?
Not just about economics: Molding an
anti-Christian America
Over the years, the strategy has clearly been expanded and
adapted to also bring about fundamental transformational change concerning
important social issues, undermining human dignity.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark 2015 Obergefell decsion
instituted same-sex “marriage” by the thinnest of margins – a 5-4 vote
– quickly unleashed the ghastly contagion of transgenderism on our
nation, a virus of a different kind that the nation was ill-prepared to
battle.
Our children have been its most tragic victims.
We no longer face the single issue of same-sex “marriage.”
The nation is being pummeled with a broad spectrum of gender identity issues,
not to mention infestations of drag queens in the children’s sections of our
public libraries. The rise of surrogacy has altered the sacredness of
motherhood.
Bedrock definitions of marriage, of man, of woman, and
children have all irrationally been thrown into question, as if nature had had
it wrong all along.
“Religious liberty” has gone from our greatest strength and
source of pride to being demonized as a code term belonging to
“haters.
”
In 2016, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights issued a
report titled Peaceful
Coexistence: Reconciling Nondiscrimination Principles with Civil Liberties.
When the report was unveiled, the commission’s chairman,
Martin Castro, said,
“The phrases ‘religious liberty’ and ‘religious freedom’ ... remain code words
for discrimination, intolerance, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia,
Christian supremacy, or any form of intolerance.”
Ever since, Christians have been slandered as the “bad
guys,” as “haters,” scapegoated for resistance to political correctness, for
preventing progress.
Leftist elites have managed to turn America into an
anti-Christian state.
Where are we headed? Turning America into
Venezuela
All together, American culture is being attacked on myriad
fronts in countless ways on multiple levels with the intent of causing our society
to completely break down and submit to a new regime that is decidedly
un-American.
The coronavirus pandemic is being exploited to the hilt by
the deepstaters, but not just to bring down President Trump.
It's about bringing down the U.S.A.
The last few weeks have seen well-organized, peaceful
protest rallies at state capitals where citizens have begged their governors to
reopen their states for business so they can salvage their human dignity and
feed their families. Urban leftists have condescendingly criticized and mocked them.
If stay-at-home restrictions are not relaxed very soon, the
peaceful protests will morph into riots, and that will be perfectly fine with
leftist elites. They will have orchestrated an even greater crisis with which
to justify the re-making of America into Venezuela.
Not long ago, Venezuela was South America’s most prosperous
nation. Socialism has pushed it into economic
collapse, creating an ugly humanitarian
crisis.
The coronavirus pandemic economic lockdown is being
exploited to transform America into a socialist – if not Marxist
– nation now that a critical mass of people have been made economically
vulnerable.
As my LifeSiteNews colleague Steve
Jalsevac has pointed out, “The Wuhan virus appears to be an
incredible and suspiciously timely gift for the globalists to push through
their agenda faster than any of us could have expected.”
