Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
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.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States 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. (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.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
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 which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
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.”
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, healthy.”
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.”
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.”
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.
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.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
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.
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].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
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.
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.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
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.
Knew someone would have it handy ;)
Thank you!
And nihilism.
And fahrvergnügen
“You think it’s not over?”
No, I don’t think it’s over. From my perspective, I see where it looks like the beginning of the end is near. I see how less than a majority is able to make itself appear to be greater than it really is while the true majority are made to appear as being on the fringe or extremist right wing.
Sure, the economics and numbers are what they are (or are they?) but does that necessarily add up to a diminished or destroyed “esprit de corps” among the legitimate voting majority?
I am not saying give up on what you and I believe to be America. I am saying give up on the bastardized mess that liberals have created.
Geographically America or most of us aren’t going anywhere. However, we can look to groups in Russia or anywhere else that believe as we do. Because that belief is in fact ‘America’, not some plot of land.
Russia is headed in the direction we should be. So IMO, it makes sense to work with those there who are like us.
Washington and co. did exactly that against the British. We can do it against the Liberals. But the notion that we are at the beginning of the end just ignores the years under Clinton, Obama, and even Bush in financial ways. We are far down the path.
We no longer live in the America we grew up in. If you want that America back, as I and many do, you will never hope to get it until you recognize that the current one isn’t it.
Okay, I’m not gonna argue with you simply because you seem so sure of yourself.
“I am saying give up on the bastardized mess that liberals have created.”
I’ve NEVER been down with any so-called bastardized mess that liberals created to have to even think about giving it up.
I NEVER had any hope that the Clintons had a better plan or agenda. The same applies to Obama and his ideology.
I give up NOTHING!...especially to “The Community”.
It’s not sure of myself. It’s what is happening all around you, me and everyone else.
You seem to be either missing my point or something I can’t grasp.
What is LEFT to give up? Churches filled with gays? The military filled with gays? The opposition party passing legislation to Obama’s desk every bit as liberal as the actual democrats?
What is left of America as we knew it much less as the Founders created it? What? Tell me what if you believe the above is wrong. I know it’s hard to admit. But how can you deny the very things around you daily? Not what I say. What you yourself see?
“But how can you deny the very things around you daily?”
I don’t deny seeing what looks like the beginning of the end; off in the distance or maybe even on the horizon. However, I do deny them the opportunity to bring me along with them by giving up NOTHING.
OK. got it. but you don’t have to give it up. It has already been taken from you. Try stopping to homos from humping in a park in front of your kids and you will get arrested.
Complain at work about an affirmative action hire/illegal that refuses to do his job and you are forced to take up the slack. you get reeducated and sensitized or fired.
You didn’t build that. Someone else did. And it ain’t America. There are thousands of examples we all discuss daily. THOUSANDS. At what point do you look at the sum total and say, we are way beyond the beginning here?
“Complain at work about an affirmative action hire/illegal that refuses to do his job and you are forced to take up the slack. you get reeducated and sensitized or fired.”
I’ve never gone that far with it but I did not fail to identify myself at work as a climate change denier by disagreeing that “we have to go green” when the conversation was steered in that direction by a RINO woman my age, who in my opinion, spent too much time working at GM...
At the time, we were working as a CAD 3D designers for a Metro Detroit area automotive supplier and the idea now seems to be that either we are all going green...or ELSE! I let them know who I was and I should have known better. Live and learn.
And thats what I;m getting at. you like many lost that basic American thing. Being a normal person with normal beliefs, to PC.
LOL!!!
really liked your post - we are indeed in strange times - a true paragdimg shift.
You might enjoy these - It may be time to start learning Russian -
“Persecuting Christians. Never thought I’d live to see this day.”
And only ONE worlds leader is speaking out about it - only one...and he’s calling for other leaders to step in and help stop this.
and WHO is that one?
http://answersforthefaith.com/2013/08/08/putin-world-leaders-should-unite-to-end-christian-persecution/
the same -and only - one that refuses to bow down to the homosexuels. The only one that is defending Christianity.
The world is, indeed, turned upside down.
And - he is bringing the Church back to prominence in Russia -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRgWVAfHNZM
Is he Russia’s ‘Manchurian Candidate’ in reverse? He was baptized as a baby, in secret, because of the times. He carries a cross on him at all times - one that his mother gave him as a young man. His father was a Communist - affording him the opportunity to get into avenues of power - and finally to a position where he can ‘come out of the closet’ as to his faith and restore the Church - and stand against the society destroying gay lifestyle that is taking over the countries of the world.
quote: ““The foundation of our national, spiritual and cultural life was laid 1025 years ago,” he said. “Our ancestors adopted the Christian faith and, together with it, a system of values and morals … that no historical upheavals were able to destroy.”
We live in a paradigm shift - mind boggling. Maybe it’s time to learn some conversational Russian?
