Was turned on to a new blog Straight up with Sherri. She just finished a three-part essay which is required reading. She does an excellent job of playing connect-the-dots and the picture that arises is not a good one...
The introduction PART I: Knowing the Enemy:
bq. This entire week will be devoted to the importance of defining the enemy we face, understanding the enemy, and our role in defeating the enemy. We DO have not only a role, but a duty to act against the enemy in order to protect America, and freedom in the world as a whole.
bq. The Enemy 101:
Step 1: What motivates them? Answer, the destruction of Israel and the Jews. This is where America becomes enemy number one. In reality, their number one enemy is NOT Israel, it is the United States of America. Why? Without America�s support, they can AND WILL destroy Israel.
Step 2: Who is the Enemy? Those that want to destroy Israel. (See how simple this really is?) So, who wants to destroy Israel? Basically all of the Middle East and ANY Muslim Extremists (no matter where they may live). Now this is where things get a little more complicated. We do have other enemies. They may not want to KILL all of us, but they certainly resent our power and authority and want to see us weakened so they may gain more power.
We then go to PART II: The Paper Tiger bq. The making of the Paper Tiger has been aided by our own people and our own government. The media has been the greatest ally in this development via hiding truth, and exploiting the emotions of the American People by highlighting the issues in a way that forwards the agenda of America's enemies. The enemy within is not only impossible to recognize by his/her lack of a uniform, but they are also protected by our laws of freedom. The enemies have done their homework. Sherri then points to a book published in 1958 that outlines 45 goals for communist takeover of the USA. As Sherri says: bq. The book was The Naked Communist by W. Cleon Skousen. This book lists the Communist Goals to make America fall from within. The list was actually entered into the Congressional Record by Albert Herlong, Jr.(a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-1963). Many of the 45 goals have already been accomplished, and many more were actually part of the campaign for 2004. The next example of the creation of the Paper Tiger is a little extreme in wording. It states America is already a communist state, which I don not believe to be soundly factual, but it does make a great case for just how subtle the indoctrination (of communist pillars within our own government) is being implemented. The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto have been implemented in some form already. Strictly as an example of how the control of government gets tighter and tighter, I am including this link to show you how gradually this occurs. We have no idea what is actually taking place until we take a clear look at history. (The Truth about FICA and SS) Finally, we have: PART III: The Attack From Within Sherri introduces the story with a couple paragraphs and then cuts to the enemy goals: bq. Education: (these are numbered in correlation to the original list entered into the Congressional Record in 1963.)Step 3: What is their plan of attack? The enemy has done their homework. They realize the odds of America being defeated militarily, in a �face-to-face� fight, are more than just unlikely. They also understand the way to defeat America is from within. The history of America, and understanding the inner workings of American politics and culture, has given them the information they need to defeat us.
bq. Media: (again, numbered accordingly)17) 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 text books. 18) Gain control of all student newspapers 19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state".
bq. Culture:20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions. 21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures. 25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
She also deals with the legal System and Politics and then comments: bq. Take time today and let this sink in. When you watch the news or read the paper, start noticing the wording of stories, and the choices made on which stories to cover. Somehow, the media feels the need to crucify a young marine before all the facts are in (or refuse to present ALL the facts), while contributing a few (softly spoken) sentences of mention to the kidnapping and murder of Margaret Hassan. I am cherry picking a few choice lines - the essays are much longer and well worth the 20 minutes it takes to read them thoroughly (including following the links she provides) Another one is promised for tomorrow -- I'll be there...22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms. 23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
