The Takeover of America

by M. Richard Maxson

    It seems like an eternity ago that the stated goals of the Socialist/Communist party in the

United States were put forward into the congressional record for all to see. There were 45 of these stated goals. For today's discussion I will list their main objectives. This is 1963, so read on and see if they were successful.

                              Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record

                                                          Appendix,

                                                         pp. A34-A35                                    

                                                     January 10, 1963

 

• Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
• Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
• Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
• Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
• Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
• Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
• Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
• Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
• Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
• Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
• Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
• Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
• Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
•  Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

 

    If this were a sporting event it would be labeled a "blowout". They have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams in the takeover of this country. Can we, as a nation, recover to what was once was a shining light for the world?

     As a people, we need to look back and remember what it is that made this nation unique: its commitment to our God-given rights and liberties and the constitutional framework that allowed them to flourish.

    Unless we rededicate ourselves to restoring our liberty tradition and educating the uninitiated about the foundational importance of liberty and how our present course is destined to destroy it, we will not save ourselves.

Cry for America

    As the founding fathers of the United States of America made clear in the Declaration of Independence in 1776: "...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and institute new Government..."

    Thomas Jefferson wrote,"we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." By acknowledging that our rights are inalienable, Jefferson’s words and the first federal statute recognize that our rights come from our humanity -- from within us -- and not from the government.

    Today we have the opposite of what the Framers gave us. Today we have a government that alone decides how much wealth we can retain, how much free expression we can exercise, how much privacy we can enjoy. In the past year, all branches of the federal government have combined to diminish personal freedoms, in obvious and in subtle ways.

   In the case of privacy, we now know that the federal government has the ability to read all of our texts and emails and listen to all of our telephone calls -- mobile and land line -- and can do so without complying with the Constitution’s requirements for a search warrant. Jefferson also wrote, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." 

    As the Declaration also stated that "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." 

    The time for separation is upon us. Will the American people rise up and return us to the Constitutional Democratic Republic that we were meant to be? I think not. This populace has been "opiated" with games and technology to distract us from our obligations and responsibilities as Americans. We no longer look to the Constitution for guidance as we have been taught that it is old, outdated, and cumbersome. We are being taught that Democratic Socialism is a far superior form of government. Our media has been taken over by this philosophy that is, ever so slowly, dripped into our psyche day after day everywhere we turn.

    The litany of the loss of freedom is sad and unconstitutional and irreversible. Bitterly and ironically, the government Jefferson wrought is proving the accuracy of Jefferson’s prediction that in the long march of history, government grows and liberty shrinks.
