The Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton’s use of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” have been mentioned in the media for the last 7 1/2 years. Have Mr. Alinsky’s rules really been used?  According to David Mikkelson’s Snope.com blog, the answer is no.  His analysis can be found at http://snopes.com/politics/quotes/alinsky.asp.  In Mr. Mikkelson’s blog, he states the “list is simply a modern variant of the decades-old, apocryphal Communist Rules for Revolution ….”.

The Communist Rules for Revolution are listed below with comments but not those comments found on the Communistgoals.com website.  To see the blog as it is on the website, please go to http://www.communistgoals.com/revolution/revolution.htm.

“Corrupt the young: get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex.  Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.”[1]

Entitlement and political censorship fostered by the media, schools and government have damaged our youth. The youth are being indoctrinated into willing political pawns. An example of corruption: Why are more teachers having sex with their students? What has happened to the moral and ethical code teachers should have?

“Get control of all means of publicity. Get peoples’ minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.”[2]

The Propaganda Press (mainstream media) many times avoids reporting on important problems and issues and instead fills time and space with feel good reports thereby keeping the public ignorant of important events.

“Divide people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.”[3]

An example of this one is the transgender bathroom issue initiated by the federal government.

“Destroy the peoples’ faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and . (speak against, condemnatory utterances)”[4]

Just look at the presidential election in which one candidate proposes solutions to existing problems while another candidate responds by attacking the first candidate without addressing the issues. Condemnation and ridicule flows back and forth in the press.

“Always preach; true democracy; but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.”[5]

Having the Department of Homeland Security “assist” in cyber security for all elections and having the government control the Internet would be ways to seize power quickly. Neither action is benign. It makes as much sense as having the fox guard the hen house. Could either action cause a domestic insurrection to be created? Would the Propaganda Press support the insurrection instead of the militia response? Past media history favors insurrection support.

“By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent.”[6]

The Obama Administration created the monstrosity called Obamacare, has used government regulations to stifle job creation and cause higher unemployment increasing the welfare and food stamp rolls. The result has been huge deficits, increased national debt and a credit rating decrease for the country. The Obama Administration created a constitutional crisis by issuing presidential orders to suspend immigration law enforcement, supported corrupt practices in the IRS promoting accused wrongdoers instead of prosecuting them, promoted an energy policy to destroy good paying jobs, and with the rogue EPA has issued world government regulations instead of supporting ones that benefit the American public. And the list goes on.

“Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders.”[7]

Note how the federal government has responded to civil disorders in Ferguson and Baltimore and the domestic terrorist murders.

“By special argument cause a breakdown of the old moral virtues; honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.”[8]

Entitlement and political censorship (not political correctness) are two precursors leading to a moral virtue breakdown.

“Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view of confiscation of them and leaving the population helpless.”[9]

This is the real reason for gun control that the Democrats and anarchists love.

Commentary on this Communist Rules for Revolution list

The Obama Administration is in the process of implementing most if not all of these rules. Where has the media been defending our way of life?  Answer.  It has been cheering for the Communist Rules for Revolution changes to be implemented.  With all the cheering for these communist rules, has the Propaganda Press transformed themselves into the communist press corps and gone over to the dark side?  How many Americans have been influenced by their propaganda?

Hillary Clinton is campaigning ostensibly as an Obama third term, so if she is elected President, will she continue the effort to implement the above rules? The consensus opinion would appear to be yes.  Will it become necessary for the militia (70,000,000 plus members) created by the United States Constitution to become active in order to quell a domestic insurrection?
