The original intent and driving impulse cannot be to cause disaster and devastation.

Most of the left-leaning decision-makers in this country have been, and continue to be, followers of the Cloward-Piven strategy of manufactured crisis – with Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, being the most visible followers of that agenda.

One of Cloward-Pivens’ core requirements is that ‘grassroots’ radical groups coalesce and increasingly demand more handouts from all levels of government – thus Obama’s grooming as a ‘community organizer’. These groups, with ACORN chief among them, were huge contributors to the high-risk mortgage lending that, in turn, helped to create the current financial crises.

Add the Motor Voter law, which dramatically increases the number of fraudulent voters, and Obamacare, which dramatically increases both the power of the government and the citizens’ reliance on that government, and you have not only the recipe for the collapse of the American system of government, but also an open invitation for despotic rule.

As Charles Rangel once said regarding this subversive plan, ‘The middle class will eventually become too distracted [by manufactured crises] to fight.'

All of the above strategies can be found in Cloward-Piven. It is nothing more than a subversive attempt to plant the seeds for the fall of American capitalism by burdening the government with a mountain of unfulfillable demands, and un-repayable debt, with the end result being the creation of a massive economic crisis and eventual economic collapse – followed by dictatorial rule, rising like a Phoenix out of the ashes, but bearing no resemblance to our Founders' vision.

The initial Leftist's impulse is to "improve" the world.

Not so, by my perception. The modern leftist’s impulse rests on the belief that there is a superior elitist class whose thirst for power and wealth knows no bounds. They live by different rules than the rest of us. Just witness the lavish vacations this first family takes, and the expensive clothing they wear, while advising moderation and thrift for the rest of us 'peons'. In fact, they place little value on the rest of us, other than a measure of how we can contribute to the success of their agenda of power and wealth-accumulation. Even human life itself is of little value other than by that measure. How many leftists wholeheartedly support the abomination known as partial birth abortion? And how many of them support medical rationing, especially for seniors and the physically and mentally handicapped, as clearly outlined in Obamacare?

None of this philosophy has ‘improving the world’ at its core. It is possibly the most self-centered, egomaniacal philosophy of ‘government’ that ever existed.
