Obama’s Cloward-Piven Strategy of Intended Consequences – Part I

by @ 7:51 am. Filed under Business, Economics, Govt. Regulation, Politics, U.S. Constitution

We’ve heard plenty about the “unintended” consequences of poor policy by government and many would attribute anything bad from the Obama administration as an “unintended consequence.”

I have believed for a long time that Barack Hussein Obama and his administration, full of Leftist Czars, intends to create an economic climate with bad intentions for freedom and liberty. The game plan is from Saul Alinsky and his book “Rules for Radicals” and from the theories of the Cloward-Piven strategy as the very root of abusive practices that trigger crisis. The strategy’s goal is to bring about the fall of capitalism by overloading and undermining government bureaucracy.

The supporting tactics for the strategy of intended consequences include:

  1. Flooding government with impossible demands until it slowly cranks to a stop;
  2. Overloading electoral systems with successive tidal waves of new voters, many of them bogus;
  3. Shaking down banks, politicians in Congress, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development for affirmative-action borrowing; 
  4. Pulling down the national financial system by demanding exotic, subprime mortgages for low-income Americans with little hope of repaying their loans.

This strategy was developed in the mid-1960s by two Columbia University sociologists, Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, much of their strategy was drawn from Saul Alinsky, Chicago’s notorious revolutionary Marxist community organizer.

I covered in detail the background of Obama and his ties to Alinsky as well as others with direct ties to Communist thought and domestic terrorism. Conservative bloggers covered the topics but the mainstream media intentionally avoided any vetting process into the background of Obama.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) succeeded the National Welfare Rights Organization in the execution of the Cloward-Piven tactics of using the poor as cannon fodder to tear down the capitalist system. It was low-income, mostly black and Hispanic people, who were used by ACORN guerrillas to take subprime toxic mortgages.

An Obama campaign dispatch on October 6 observed that “the backward economic philosophy and culture of corruption that helped create the current crisis are looking more and more like any other major financial crisis of our time.”

Beginning in 1964 and continuing to the present day, the Institute for Policy Studies has used seminars especially designed to influence congressmen and their assistants to support the “progressive,” that is to say “socialist,” viewpoint.

A 1969 “Housing and Property” seminar, hosted by the Institute for Policy Studies treated Capitol Hill denizens to mind-altering leftism. Bringing together speakers from big-city tenants councils, neighborhood legal services, FHA insurance, savings-and-loans entities, and the Shannon and Luchs Realty Company, the Institute for Policy Studies knocked over the first domino that led to the current financial crisis.

At about the same time that the Institute for Policy Studies was holding the 1969 “Housing and Property” seminars, it was also conducting “Experimental Education” seminars in January-April 1969, for federal legislators and their aides that included Bill Ayers, an Obama confidant and Weatherman terrorist, as a guest speaker. According to the Senate Subcommittee on Investigation, 4,330 bombings occurred in the United States, about nine a day, from January 1969 to April 1970.

This socialist test case for using society’s poor and disadvantaged people as sacrificial “shock troops,” in accordance with the Cloward-Piven strategy, was demonstrated in 1975, when new prospective welfare recipients flooded New York City with payment demands, bankrupting the government. As a consequence, New York state also teetered on the edge of financial collapse when the federal government stepped in with a bailout rescue.

Stanley Kurtz of the Ethics and Public Policy Center explained that “community organizers”:

  1. “intimidate banks into making high risk loans to customers with poor credit,” 
  2. “occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes,” and, through these thuggish tactics, 
  3. compel “financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.” 

“In other words community organizers help to undermine America’s economy by pushing the banking system into a sink-hole of bad loans,” said Mr. Kurtz while speaking to the Hudson Institute’s Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal.

We will begin analyzing the Cloward-Piven strategy as a comparison to the Obama strategy to undermine the US economy by rushing through legislation to set the stage of undermining the US financial system and capitalism as America knows it.  There really is no comparison, it’s one and the same. Indeed!

  1. Shawn Gray-Fleek Says:

    “Progressive” is the opposite of “regressive.” People who believe in regressive laws believe that the contests of the past, which have been settled, would better be re-fought. Progressives find the challenges of their their present-time. And hope to meet them.

  2. Liberally Conservative Says:

    Progressive is a nice term, code word, for Liberal Fascism born out of the 1920s. At least “progressive” in political terms.

    A very detailed analysis of this is “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg.

    There are some others but very, very complicated and not an easier read. Classical Liberalism (in my left-side bar) is a good read on the original term of Conservatism.

    Cloward-Pivens were interested in one thing, something you favor, chaos, crisis and nanny state or government takeover.

    Many would be in favor of this but the leaders end up in good graces and the masses learn they made a dreadful mistake.

    Rent the epic (3 hours) movie Reds (starring two far left Liberals) and see.

    Also, rent Dr. Zhivago for another view of revolution for the “workers” and see how that ends up.
