Need help!
In the past couple of weeks, a Freeper posted some information regarding the goals and strategies of communism.
The excerpt was from a book written by an FBI agent and part of a report to Congress in 1958?
It was incredible...like a prophecy that's coming true. Thought I'd saved it, but, alas, I did not. Any help would be appreciated.
Maybe I should have posted in News...would have bought a few mintues of high traffic before the mod booted me...hmm...
Here's a Google search. Maybe there's something in there that will be helpful.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&q=%22written+by%22+%22FBI+agent%22+communism+book&as_q=congress&btnG=Search%C2%A0within%C2%A0results
Also, have you checked your history (if you're using internet explorer). Lots of time I find stuff that I know I read but can't find now that way.
Good luck!
Search for Gramsci on Free Republic as well as Google it!
I have a number of Free Republic threads of articles posted here in my Free Republic links.

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.

We have mentioned Gramsci in a previous article. In this column we will touch on him briefly as a lead-in to the next two which will deal with him in detail.
Many comments are appearing in the national media upon the lamentable lack of knowledge of American history by the youth of this country. A recent column in the Washington Times was titled: "Losing America’s Memory, Historical Illiteracy in the 21st Century." This column disclosed the incredible ignorance of American history, not only among today’s college seniors, but even more frightening, many of the teachers, who have been graduated in the past twenty or thirty years, are themselves sadly lacking in knowledge of American history.
|
<img> |
The study of the top 55 colleges and universities in the U.S. revealed that not a single one requires a course in American history as a prerequisite for graduation. NOT ONE! The column reported that college seniors could not identify the American General (George Washington) at the battle of Yorktown. Most could not identify words from the Gettysburg Address nor even basic principles of the U.S. Constitution! And THESE are college seniors.
Perhaps worse than this lack of ignorance is the fact that when the Founding Fathers of this country are mentioned at all in the "educational establishment" the information supplied is done with derision or outright misinformation. The recent television program about the supposed liaison between Thomas Jefferson and the slave Sally Hemings is a prime example. Was it possible that such a relationship might have existed? Yes! Is it fact? No one knows! There is literally NO VALID scientific evidence to PROVE that THOMAS Jefferson was the father of Sally Hemings’ children. The DNA study in 1998 simply showed that ONE of at least EIGHT Jefferson males (the President, his brother Randolph, five of Randolph’s sons and a cousin) was probably the father.
The real problem here is that the miniseries presented the possibility as a FACT! In the process, it will have destroyed the reputation of Jefferson in the minds of many Americans who accept the story as incontrovertible fact. There is a dangerous trend in the entertainment industry to revise history in the interest of a "better story." A few cases which come to mind are Disney’s "Pocahantas", Oliver North’s "JFK", and Forman’s "Amadeus." All of these seriously distorted or falsified the true facts.
The story of the United States is, possibly, the greatest secular story ever told. The United States was a direct reversal of the millennia long world history of tyranny. No other nation like the United States was ever conceived, let alone brought into existence.
Throughout its history, enemies of freedom have tried to find a way to destroy us. It was finally realized that the surest way to subvert this nation would be to separate us from our past. The strength of this nation has depended upon our morality, our faith and our patriotism. To a great extent those factors depend upon an in-depth knowledge of our own history. Eliminate our past and we will have no future.
Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Socialist earlier in this century, was perhaps the best exponent of the concept that to institute a new culture in a society it was first necessary to destroy the old culture. Churches are changed by having age-old doctrinal and moral teachings modernized and reduced to irrelevancy. Genuine education is gradually replaced with extreme permissiveness, "gutted" curricula and tremendously lowered standards of excellency. The mass media is used for manipulation of public attitudes and for harassing and discrediting traditional standards and institutions. As theologian Harold Brown stated a few years ago, "Culture becomes a vehicle for destroying ideals and ... presenting the young not with heroic examples but with deliberately and aggressively degenerate ones." Marriage and the family are continuously attacked and denigrated. The family is increasingly portrayed as a dangerous place where violence is the NORM.
After a few decades of such conditioning, society is transformed and demoralized. The obliteration of all memory of the old culture makes possible the imposition of a wholly new one. As explained by Fr. James Thornton, a Catholic priest, "Just as few Eastern European people retain any memory of what life was like before Communism, so, too, the older America of unregulated lives, honest government, clean cities, crime-free streets, morally edifying entertainment and a family oriented way of life is no longer vivid in the minds of many Americans."
We have come a very long way down the road toward the loss of the cultural heritage left to us by our ancestors. Unless Americans at this time realize what has been and is happening, it is just a matter of time until we will have passed the "point of no return!"
