Throw Sand in the Gears of Everything [barf]
The Nation ^ | January 18, 2017 | Frances Fox Piven

Posted on 01/30/2017 10:48:55 PM PST by Enchante

...Most important, in our complex federal system, where the policies of the national government depend on cooperation by state and local authorities, these local movements have the potential to block initiatives by the incoming Trump regime....

... Now the protests will have to aim not at winning, but at halting or foiling initiatives that threaten harm—either by redistributing wealth to the very top (the Trump tax and energy plans), or by eliminating existing political rights (the cancellation of DACA, the Obama executive order that protected undocumented-immigrant children, known as Dreamers), or by jeopardizing established protections and benefits (the looming prospect of privatizing Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, or the threat to turn funding for public education into a system of vouchers for charter schools). So how do resistance movements win—if they win—in the face of an unrelentingly hostile regime? The answer, I think, is that by blocking or sabotaging the policy initiatives of the regime, resistance movements can create or deepen elite and electoral cleavages.

Important article (from the notorious Frances Fox Piven) on the left's strategy to "throw sand in the gears" of every part of government at ever level. They will be relentless at trying to sabotage (her word) everything the Trump admin. tries to do.

The peaceful transfer of power is over in America and naked Marxists killed it.

This is far more extreme than Rush Limbaugh’s “I hope he fails” comment about Barack Hussein Obama, mmm mmm mmm.

Willful sabotage and open sedition.

This isn't "resistance", this is aid and comfort to the enemy agents of America.

Globalists GO TO HELL.

“Throw Sand in the Gears of Everything”

That was the primary goal of the Obama presidency.

ie, to”fundamentally transform” the greatest country on earth.

The Pussy Riot Club tried the same tactics in Russia as Putin attempted to pull out of the abyss of financial collapse. He ended up jailing most and killing a few. Not much else you can do with the mentally deranged.

Tucker Carlson did an Akinsky/Cloward-Piven maneuver on an open-borders bozo tonight.

Tucker threw out a hypothetical number of several million (60 million?) refugees wanting to come to America. He asked the open-borders bozo if we should let them all in.

The bozo froze with that deer-in-the-headlights look on his face. He knew he was just alinksy’d (make them live up to their rules) and cloward-piven’d (overwhelm the system).

He quietly said no, we shouldn’t let every single one of those 60 million in to the country.

Thanks for that summary, FRiend Thing

Tucker has really been a pleasant surprise. He looks so Ivy League, even just a tiny bit of a wussy.

This is actually a good thing, because Leftists completely underestimate him. They follow each other onto Tucker’s show like so many lemmings — with similar outcomes.

Thanks for posting this. Knowing the enemy’s tactics is essential.

She’s still alive? Living proof that old commies never die, they just look that way, and smell even worse.

Damned! I remember reading about her and Cloward’s Marxist plans for the destruction of American society in the 60’s, esp. the undercover journalism of the late Alice Wiedner.

Alice could get into any leftist conference and really write the truth of who was there and what they said and were planning.

Old time journalism is sorely missed except for guys like James O’Keefe and his Project Veritas.

They’re calling for a general strike, like France 1968.

If they can even get a semblance of that going it will backfire big time.

That’s a point I often make to myopic liberals who talk “open borders” and all restrictions are evil etc. What if 100 million, or 500 million (or more) people want to come here? Actually, considering how many of the world’s 7+ billion people live in dismal conditions, there is hardly any limit to how many might want to come here if allowed & physically enabled.

Also, when libs talk as though we have some unlimited obligation to receive refugees, well there are 5+ million refugees right now, just from Syria, and maybe that 60 million in the world by one definition. Exactly how many are supposed to be allowed to come here? It gets crazy. US liberals think they are incredibly generous (with other people’s money and resources) but they don’t actually propose to put much of a dent in the problem anyway. Whatever can be done for so many millions of people needs to be done in their own regions and locales, not by bringing them here or to Europe. At most you get some “lottery winners” who get to make the move while the vast majority are not aided by such relocation policies.

The above is a good video using gumballs to represent the populations of other nations and the number of immigrants the U.S. allows in each year. One gumball equals 1 million immigrants, which is about the number we have let in each year since 1990. Goes directly to your point of how the U.S. can’t make a dent in the conditions in other nations around the world.

Crap - it has been awhile since I saw that video. The gumballs for other countries are not their total populations, it is the millions of people that make less than $2 per day!

"We can see what may be the beginnings of a movement to resist mass deportations in the emergence of sanctuary cities, churches, and universities. "

Sources from whence to stage their rebellion. I expect the preacher class to take the lead, as the majority are so far left these days, and pervert the Scripture to fit their left wing causes.

The biggest lie is this "And of course—again, somehow—we should restrict the role of big money in elections."

I have not read, nor have I heard, Frances out ragging about Hillry Clinton raking in 'big money' during her campaign... or Hillry's pay to play games at the State Department...

Cloward & Piven -- ESAD.

The only way to stifle these destructive insects of the left and the islamist insects is to cut off ALL the funding to everything the left has control of. That means just about everything that gets government funding.
