THE POLITICAL PENDULUM SWINGS, A HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
BY
PAUL J. MARINO, ESQUIRE
This is the third in a series of editorials regarding the current crisis facing
America with the far left at the helm of the ship of state as it steers our nation on
a course closer and closer to disaster on the rocks of international socialism and
Marxism.
The first two writings were prepared in the hope of bringing to the reader’s
attention to an awakening to the fact that both the Democratic Party and
Republican Party are not the same political parties our parents grew up in – going
back to the 1930s. Remembering that it was during the 1930s that this nation
faced its greatest challenge – The Depression. It was also during this time
period, while both Democrats and Republican were pre-occupied with a
recovering stock market, prohibition, special interests, isolationism, and
suppression of the rights of the working class. The American Communist Party
(ACP) was making significant inroads into organizing the masses, especially in
the labor union movement. Much of their efforts in the labor movement, following
the Marxist handbook, were stopped by organized crime that saw the direct and
collateral benefits to be derived by controlling the labor unions in this country. But
that did not stop the ACP. They just redirected their focus toward recruiting
blacks, Chicanos and other minority groups that felt their rights and opportunities
were being suppressed by main stream America.
Enter stage left one Saul Alinsky, a “community organizer” from Chicago and an
individual who had strong briefs in Marxist-Communist doctrine, and its need to
be expanded in America. Born of Jewish-Russian parents, Alinsky would come to
be known as the “father of modern American radicalism”. Two of his several
writings, “Reveille For Radicals” (1946) and “Rules For Radicals” (1971), became
the handbook for students demonstrating against the war in Vietnam in the
1960s, gay rights, the woman’s right to choose on abortions, and many other
modern day movements. Many of today’s political leaders are the product of
Alinsky’s teachings, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi and President Obama. It was this handbook that was used by the Obama
campaign strategists that significantly assisted him to win the elections in 2008.
These so called “community organizers” organized unregistered low income
persons, illegal aliens, the homeless and others to vote, coupled with confusion,
intimidation and fear they created at polling places, especially in the larger cities.
All of the practices by Democrats in the past several elections were engineered
by Alinsky trained lawyers, public officials, media types and others, who were
also behind the efforts to embarrass the Republicans about the fictitious

hanging chad issue in Florida, among others. A little publicized fact about the
2000 Presidential election in Florida was that all of the alleged problems were in
counties where the Supervisors of Election were all Democrats.
Alinsky learned much of his socialistic, anti-capitalism and anti-democracy
principles from such philosophers as Machiavelli and Dostoevski. Napoleon,
Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin were all followers of 16th century
Machiavellian philosophy. Among his various writings, The Prince was widely
used by dictators and socialists in their efforts to conquer and control the
masses. Here, Machiavelli justified rule by force rather than by law. Accordingly,
The Prince seems to justify a number of actions done solely to perpetuate power.
It is now a universal study of power, its acquisition, expansion, and effective use.
Alinksy’s objective, which he clearly stated in Rules for Radicals, was to “present
an arrangement of certain facts and general concepts of change, a step toward a
science of revolution.” The Prince, he elaborated, “was written by Machiavelli for
the Haves on how to hold onto power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-
Nots on how to take it away.”
Alinsky realized early on that organizing and indoctrinating the middle class in
America was not going to be an easy task, so he concentrated his efforts on the
bottom rung of the social ladder. But, that was not enough for change. To be
truly effective, Alinsky needed the youth of middle class America to succeed. The
college students through professors who shared his philosophies, and the
distribution of his publication Rules For Radicals, became the order of the day. It
is here where President Obama, House Speaker Nancy D’Alessandro Pelosi,
former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton received their first taste
of the New World Order orientation.
In 1969, while a student at Wellesley College, Hillary Rodham (Clinton) wrote her
senior thesis entitled, “There is only the Fight, An Analysis of the Alinsky Model”.
Like the writings of Obama during his college years, this writing was sealed from
prying eyes, and has just now become available for reading. To better
understand the mentality of the people running our central government today,
you need to understand what Alinsky was feeding our college students.
Keep in mind that Alinsky was a pretty smart cookie who knew how to play
various elements of society against each other. While he may be dead, his
followers continue his work to re-educate of the American people. They know
that the last line of defense that can possibly stop this totalitarian movement is
the Judeo-Christian Right, and those baby boomers and seniors who have not
been subjected to Alinsky indoctrination.
In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky, a Jew by birth but an Atheist by declaration, knew
what would cause the Christian right conservatives to react, if not over react, with
the following quote:

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgement to the very first
radical: 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”
Alinsky knew and professed that 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.
Does this remind you of anyone in high public office today, and our current
economic condition?
He also knew that as long as the “moral majority” right kept their eyes skyward
toward Heaven, they would not see what was happening around them. Like the
frog in the pot of water on the stove that did not realize it was being slowly
cooked until it was too late, this country has allowed the Alinsky crowd of
socialists to etch away at long standing democratic and religious principles to the
point of what we are facing today in Washington. Keep in mind, however, that
this is only the beginning, unless we grab the pendulum and begin to pull it back
to the right….and do it right now.
J. James writing for the Western Front America organization recently wrote,
“ [w]e have a unique window of opportunity because the socialist chaos agents
have become the “status quo”, the radical leftist now sit in almost every position
of power in this nation. The radical socialist is “the man” now and as such they
are now vulnerable to the tactics that they have perfected and used against their
conservative enemies in the past. Frankly the right lost the first culture war, but
do not fear; our radical enemies know how to destroy not how to conserve.
America is one big island of lost children now and the “Lord of the Flies’ will have
his day that we can not change now. Take heart and stand firm; the radical’s
addiction to fantasy thinking and contempt for the truth will lead them and the
nation into one disaster after another, and we will be there to say “we told you
so” and pick up the pieces” (2009)1
For the past half century, major news sources, newspapers, radio and television,
have carefully controlled what we see and hear so that we are not awaken to the
truth of what was really going on in our country and the world. As previously
reported, remembering the words of the Soviet-Socialist teacher Dmitry

rules-for-radicals/

Manluksy, a senior Comintern in the Soviet Union, who told his students at the
Lenin School of Political Science that, “we will lull the bourgeois to sleep then we
will smash them with our clinched fists.” For the past 70 or more years, the
American socialists have been lulling Americans to sleep while they organized,
reorganized and indoctrinated the nation’s young people into their new age
thinking.
Among the ranks of those who saw the dangers posed by the Alinsky crowd was
former Vice President Ted Agnew, a public official who allegedly took bribes from
officials in the Maryland state government. Ted Agnew’s meteoric rise to power
from a suburban county lawyer, to Baltimore County Executive, to Governor of
Maryland, to becoming Vice President of the United States was unprecedented in
this country. A very strong law and order advocate, he had absolutely no use for
the main stream national media or social radicalism, and had his own ideas
about the central government, including curbing the power and control of the
Federal Reserve Bank. When it was evident that President Nixon was in serious
trouble over Watergate, the one thing that the Alinsky trained crowd and the
corporate power brokers had in common was that Agnew had to go since he was
not in the pocket of either side. The charges against Agnew were from the
uncorroborated testimony of two officials of the Maryland State Roads
Commission, who were also alleged to be in business for themselves. The fact
is that they were not Agnew’s bag men, as was alleged, but they were willing to
swear to anything the Justice Department put before them to save themselves
from a “no-deal” prosecution. Why then did Agnew not fight in court and agree to
take a simple plea of one count of tax evasion and resign his office as Vice
President? According to reliable sources, he and his family were told if he did
not take this deal he might not live long enough to see the end of his term as the
successor to Nixon. Watergate and the Agnew scandal opened the door for the
Democratic Party’s candidate, Jimmy Carter of Georgia, to become the next
President of the United States. As the pendulum now starts its swing back to the
left.
Ronald Reagan, a conservative and avid anti-communist, was able to gain the
White House after the disastrous four years of President Jimmy Carter. This
was made possible, in part, because the moral majority, under the leadership of
the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, got involved and put forth a special effort to elect
Governor Reagan, as President. Like Ronald Reagan, the Bush family also
depended on the same moral majority to get elected, except they marched to a
somewhat different drummer. They march to the drum of a world wide machine
of power and money that may be more of a nemesis to the Alinsky crowd than is
the so called Judeo-Christian right.

What does all this mean and how does it apply to a potential resolution of ridding
the White House and Congress of the so called Alinsky progressive majority?
The socialists and communists (progressive majority) are stronger today then
ever before. Stop and think for a moment, why did the Berlin Wall suddenly
coming down and the transition of communism to a more “capitalistic –
democratic” society in the Soviet Union and Soviet bloc countries happen without
a fight, and with everyone on the inside and outside of that system agreeing to
quietly go away? We now know now that it was the beginning of the new
worldwide order by the Alinsky progressive majority; coupled with the blessing of
the worldwide power brokers that orchestrated this process.
Is there still hope for America? Yes, but only if the silent majority, as we have
seen in recent months, continue to be vocal and to get in the face of the
progressive majority. No longer can we play politics by the rules. Today, we are
forced to play by the rules handed to us by the Alinsky trained crowd.
The Judeo-Christian right needs new leadership and the Republican Party needs
to reassess its priorities if it is to survive the current threat to our democracy. At
this moment, it appears that Sarah Palin may be in the best position to provide
that leadership. She appears to be willing to stay out on the point, and to be
sniped at by the main stream media, as well as, the Alinsky trained radicals of
the far left. It is obvious that if she was not a real threat to the left as a Vice
Presidential candidate, they would not have come after her as hard as they did.
Today, the mainstream media (both printed and electronic) will not report on her
activities, her speeches or her grass roots movement to swing the pendulum
back to the right; nor will they publish any sort of in depth stories about her,
except for the Fox Cable News Network.
Since the main stream media has now clearly shown to the American people the
scope and level of their bias reporting in favor of the socialist-progressive
movement, the only way to overcome a lack of mass media communications with
the electors is to use the Internet, do one-on-one contacts, hold living room
coffees, conduct door-to-door and a get out the vote campaigns. This can start
right now as the country prepares for the 2010 elections. Also, it is important to
remember that candidates seeking office in local and state government is the
breeding ground for the Alinsky style socialist progressive movement. It is here
where the pendulum begins to swing to the left.
President Obama and House Speaker Pelosi actually did this country a big favor
by trying to jam down the throats of the American people a universal healthcare
program similar to that of Canada and England. That move on their part woke up
responsible Americans who had been lulled to sleep to openly fight back. But,
healthcare is only the beginning for the President and the Congressional left.
To be completely successful and to insure that socialist programs become so
entrenched as part of the American way of life that their removal will become

difficult if not impossible, Obama knows he must have a second term; and he will
do anything and everything in his power to get re-elected. And we do mean
anything.
The greatest danger is yet to come, as he has previously announced, President
Obama will form a large civilian defense force with power and authority equal to
the military paid for with your tax dollars, unlike the volunteer civil defense corps
of the World War II era. This will be the force – with the national media – that will
ensure his re-election, and to carry out enforcement of his other executive
mandates. Scary, but true. If successful, the United States of America, with its
freedoms guaranteed by the First Ten Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, for
which so many paid the ultimate sacrifice, could become a thing from the past.
All of the churches in American need to educate their congregations about the
policies of the federal government which overtly rejects religious principles and
use their power and authority to warp the minds of American youth at all levels.
This can be done without placing the church’s tax exempt status in jeopardy with
the IRS.
It is up to you. Pray about it….meditate on it…study the issues…research the
names and groups your have read or heard about to become better informed on
the issues facing our country…and then get involved. Your future and the future
of your children and grandchildren are depending upon what you do or fail to do
now.
Please feel free to forward this editorial to your friends, family and
acquaintances.
