Saul Alinsky, Karl Marx, Lenin, Hitler, KKK, and Obama?

What do all of the above have in common? They all were and are master manipulators. Karl Marx ideals and methods incited a nation and translated into the Russian Revolution with it’s consequential blood shed, and chaos, replacing it with a government that believed in taking the land of those who used it to produce crops, and feed the nation. Agitating the poor to the point of wanting to kill those who owned the land, and provided work to those less fortunate, the landowners were killed, and the land was redistributed to the proletariat. When they proved that they could not produce adequate harvests, the land was taken from them and given to new people. The bottom line, nobody owned anything, and hunger spread.

“We will follow a different path” (change?) was a favorite phrase of Lenin, a “lawyer” in the Soviet Union. Lenin developed a strategy of revolutionary tactics that culminated on the Marxist-Leninist ideology, a “mass terror approach” toward those who opposed him, a mass violence against the capitalist establishment. This violence was the result of anger towards the establishment, increased by master communicators who with their speeches agitated the crowds.

Like Marx and Lenin, Hitler used the fear of other than the white race to capitalize on the weakness of his people, ending in the mass murdering of over 11 million people, not only Jews, but also gays, Jehovah Witnesses, Gypsies, handicap, and as stated before, anybody who was not white. The ever-masterful public speaker was an expert agitating the masses and inciting their fears, resulting in the Nazi party, and the subsequent election of Hitler to power.

The Ku Klux Klan uses a similar technique. They like to recruit those who are the outcasts, who are poor, and are easy to swindle into believing that their lack of money, cars, women, and popularity is due to those who does not look like them. Using booze, encouraging addictive violence to ensure their cooperation, and rallying speeches and music to agitate their passions, the KKK grabs a hold of the youth and do not let go.

Interestingly enough, Saul Alinsky, who died in 1972, and is the hero of the likes of Hillary Rodham and Barak Obama, was a master manipulator and agitator. In his book “Rules for Radicals” stated: "From all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins – or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom – Lucifer." "My aim here is to suggest how to organize for power: how to get it and how to use it." This is not to be done with assistance to the poor, nor even by organizing the poor to demand assistance: "[E]ven if all the low-income parts of our population were organized ... it would not be powerful enough to get significant, basic, needed changes." "to believe in the immaculate conception of ends and principles ... the practical revolutionary will understand ... [that] in action, one does not always enjoy the luxury of a decision that is consistent both with one's individual conscience and the good of mankind." "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage."

Saul Alinsky is the originator of the “Delphi method” in which a “master agitator” talks to the masses, and allow them to come to terms with their frustrations and find the alleged source of their poverty, lack of means, lack of insurance, lack of a job, or whatever malady is pestering a particular group, and target their raw emotion (hatred, frustration, despair) toward that particular perceived cause; usually, the government, the establishment, the rich, (sounds familiar?).

When Obama came to Chicago, he hooked up with Mike Kruglik, who was well versed in the Alinsky method, trained the young Barak in the ways of the agitator. Barak was a natural. No wonder Senator Obama cleaned Senator Clinton’s figurative clock. By using the Alinsky method, of which he is a master, the candidate for President of the United States, is following on a long list of master agitators, and proven that he can hack it with the best of them.

The problem is, not so much on his method, but on the underlining philosophy of Alinsky, and those who guided the life and thought process of our candidate. It is no wonder that he did not considered William Ayres methods to be reprehensible until pointed out to him, and became politically expedient to half Hartley disassociate himself from Ayres and his terrorist wife. It is no wonder that he did not considered offensive the ideology of a Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, or a Karl Marx.

Can we afford to allow a Marxist with radical ties become the next President?
