BREAKING: Karl Marx Delivers America’s State of the Union Address

Obama Marx
Sounding more like Communism’s founder Karl Marx, rather than one of America’s founding fathers, Barack Obama delivered America’s 2015 State of the Union Address on Tuesday evening, stubbornly hammering the American people’s freedom with more proposed confiscatory tax hikes and brutal regulatory schemes, all while Democrat enablers in both Houses of Congress clapped like sycophantic seals before their “Dear Leader.”

Imperial President ObamaSpeaking before the legislative bodies Obama has reduced to nothing more than an overpaid debate society, Obama dressed down the nation with a theme that focused on punishing those who do “spectacularly well” with onerous taxes, while redistributing the American workers’ income to bureaucrats in Washington, DC, and illegal aliens who he unconstitutionally issued amnesty to through royal edict.

Using class warfare rhetoric straight out of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals,” Obama pandered to the undefined “middle class,” saying, “this country does best when everyone gets their fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same rules,” as he fails to mention that his controlist policies have crushed the average Americans from every measurable statistic, Cloward Pevin with explanationincluding the 92 million Americans out of the work force, the most since the second worst president in American history, Jimmy Carter. 

Unlike fellow Democrat Bill Clinton, who after getting crushed by Republicans in 1994, ran to the middle, moderating and negotiating with the GOP to balance the budget and pass welfare reform (which Obama overturned with his “pen”), the scandal-ridden Obama preached his “equality” agenda, the very tyrannical scheme that Founding Father Samuel Adams warned against, prophetically warning about “The Utopian schemes of leveling.” ATT00513 Power over people

“The Utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable as those which vest as those which vest all property in the Crown. [These ideas] are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government, unconstitutional,” wrote Samuel Adams.

With the cost of college already inflated to bubble-like levels thanks to taxpayer-funded subsidies, Obama is mashing down the accelerator through the floorboard, with a vote-buying scheme to further inflate the cost of college, as well as hosing taxpayers at the same time, a double-win for Obama, by proposing a plan that would offer “free” community college to certain students who met his arbitrary criteria, a plan that is estimated to cost taxpayers $60 BILLION over 10 years.

The mainstream media will ignore the fact that to pay for the economically illiterate scheme, government would be breaking their own rules of “529″ college savings plans, which parents were promised would be able to be withdrawn tax-free as long as they were used to pay for college costs, another government bait and switch similar to the promise that Social Security was a retirement plan where you would have your own account that you could withdraw from in retirement. As we all know, crooked politicians from both parties spent the Social Security money, all done in for political greed.

Obama said he is magically lowering the price of community college to “zero.” Can he use his “pen and phone” to do that for other expenses in life too? Maybe he could start with taxes. liberals-thanks-saul-alinsky-political-poster-1308396354

Keep in mind that government cost estimates, like Obamacare, which was passed based on a stack of Democrat lies, are almost always drastically underestimated. When Medicare was passed in 1965 under Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Great Society,” government projected that the cost in 1990 would be $9 billion on Part A hospital costs. The actual cost in 1990 was $67 billion. Today, we have Parts A, B, C, and thanks to Republican George W. Bush, Part D. The total cost for Medicare in 2013 was $585.7 billion, not including other socialist entitlement programs, all of which threaten to bankrupt the nation.

Obama was virtually silent on the mention of the rising threats of Islamic terrorism, as usual, and as would be expected. As was he silent on the over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities the nation suffers from, and the $18 trillion-dollar debt, $8 million that occurred under his reign.

Samuel Adams also had a quote which should be heeded by the squishy moderate RINOs who make up much of the Republican Party, who were elected in November not to “get along” with Obama, but to stop his dictatorial reign. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who has become more of a chamber of crony capitalism, rather than a promoter of American free enterprise, should also take note:


“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels of arms. Crouch down and like the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” 
Most Americans, who participated in drinking games like taking a drink every time Santa Obama said “equality” or “fairness” were soused by the time the speech was over. They didn’t miss much. more evidence

Obama: The Disciple of Saul Alinsky Leads America Towards Full Blown Socialism


http://freedomoutpost.com/2014/01/obama-disciple-saul-alinsky-lead-america-towards-full-blown-socialism/#4Vuck4LGWucQ8l4F.99

Written by Leon Puissegur

In the previous article, we looked at 8 rules that Saul Alinsky laid out in his book Rules for Radicals.  Barack Obama has been following those rules one by one.  However, there are other rules that follow in the book.  One rule, mentioned by Glenn Beck, was rule 12 and that one rule seems to be one of the most workable rules that President Obama has used to the max! That rule is as follows:

Rule 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Saul Alinsky:

  • Identified a set of very specific rules that ordinary citizens could follow, and tactics that ordinary citizens could employ, as a means of gaining public power
  • Created a blueprint for revolution under the banner of “social change”
  • Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Born to Russian-Jewish parents in Chicago in 1909, Saul Alinsky was a Communist/Marxist fellow-traveler who helped establish the tactics of infiltration — coupled with a measure of confrontation — that have been central to revolutionary political movements in the United States in recent decades. He never joined the Communist Party but instead, as David Horowitz puts it, became an avatar of the post-modern left.

“Alinsky was … convinced that large-scale socialist transformation would require an alliance between the struggling middle class and the poor. The key to radical social change, Alinsky thought, was to turn the wrath of America’s middle class against large corporations.”

In the Alinsky model, “organizing” is a euphemism for “revolution” — a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America’s social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted — a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo’s complete collapse — to be followed by the erection of an entirely new system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal “changes” are needed.
As Alinsky put it: “A reformation means that the masses of our people have reached the point of disillusionment with past ways and values. They don’t know what will work but they do know that the prevailing system is self-defeating, frustrating, and hopeless. They won’t act for change but won’t strongly oppose those who do. The time is then ripe for revolution.”
“[W]e are concerned,” Alinsky elaborated, “with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace, cooperation, equal and full opportunities for education, full and useful employment, health, and the creation of those circumstances in which men have the chance to live by the values that give meaning to life. We are talking about a mass power organization which will change the world … This means revolution.”

John Perazzo at Discover the Networks writes in his profile of Alinsky:

But Alinsky’s brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. As Richard Poe puts it, “Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties.” He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform. This was precisely the tactic of “infiltration” advocated by Lenin and Stalin. As Communist International General Secretary Georgi Dimitroff told the Seventh World Congress of the Comintern in 1935:

“Comrades, you remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy. Troy was inaccessible to the armies attacking her, thanks to her impregnable walls. And the attacking army, after suffering many sacrifices, was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy’s camp.”

Alinsky died in 1972, but his legacy lives on as a staple of leftist method, a veritable blueprint for revolution (which he and his disciples euphemistically refer to as “change”). Two of his most notable modern-day disciples are Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
In 1969 Hillary Clinton wrote her 92-page senior thesis on Alinsky’s theories. A great admirer of Alinsky’s blend of ruthless and stealth activist tactics, Hillary personally interviewed the famed author for her project. She concluded her thesis by stating:

“Alinsky is regarded by many as the proponent of a dangerous socio/political philosophy. As such, he has been feared — just as Eugene Debs [the five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President] or Walt Whitman or Martin Luther King has been feared, because each embraced the most radical of political faiths — democracy.”

Unlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama never personally met Saul Alinsky. By the time Alinsky died in 1972, Obama was only 11 years old. But as a young man, he became a master practitioner of Alinsky’s methods. In 1985 a small group of 20-odd churches in Chicago offered Obama a job helping residents of poor, predominantly black, Far South Side neighborhoods. Accepting that opportunity, Obama became Director of the Developing Communities Project, where he worked for the next three years on initiatives that ranged from job training to school reform to hazardous waste cleanup. David Freddoso, author of the 2008 book The Case Against Barack Obama, summarizes Obama’s community-organizing efforts as follows:

“He pursued manifestly worthy goals; protecting people from asbestos in government housing projects is obviously a good thing and a responsibility of the government that built them. But [in every case except one] the proposed solution to every problem on the South Side was a distribution of government funds …”

Three of Obama’s mentors in Chicago were trained at the Alinsky-founded Industrial Areas Foundation. (The Developing Communities Project itself was an affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation, whose modus operandi for the creation of “a more just and democratic society” is rooted firmly in the Alinsky method.)

One of Obama’s early mentors in the Alinsky method, Mike Kruglik, would later say the following about Obama:

“He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better.”

Here we see just how Obama got his ideas and they just do not work with a nation under a “free enterprise” traditions!

For several years, Obama himself taught workshops on the Alinsky method. Also, beginning in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with ACORN, the Alinskyite grassroots political organization that grew out of George Wiley‘s National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO).

We have shown just what plan Obama has been following for years, including some of his “mentors” of this Socialist ideology that he has put forth without fear because he views himself as King of the Former United States.  If “WE THE PEOPLE” do not vote people into the Senate to change the balance this year, the United States will be no more, and time will only prove this to be true when they begin making more laws against the Constitution and dissolving our rights one at a time.  We’ve laid out their plans; now it is up to us to ensure that freedom prevails and not a kingdom of Obama.
