Saturday, the 23rd, I took two friends to visit another friend who collects, repairs and sells beautiful special cars. My friend's entire family lived in Cuba, the family business was over 100 years old and they fled from Castro to Miami. They know what Communism is and does to people, particularly the aristocrats. As we finished our tour we discussed what is happening in America and how we are well along the path of what Castro did to a proud people.
When I got home I went to my desk top and this is what a dear friend had sent me.
I remember listening to the speech and K banging his shoe on the table.
This is what Saul Alinsky's playbook is all about and what Obama drew upon to govern. Alinsky was one of O's disciples.
Subject: Remember Khrushchev's Prediction?
Scary stuff ... sure sounds like a lot of what's going on these days. I wonder what USA our grandchildren will "inherit"?
THIS WAS HIS ENTIRE QUOTE: A sobering reminder. It's been almost sixty one years since Russia’s Khrushchev delivered this. Many of you may not remember his quote or even were alive when Mr. Khrushchev of the Soviet Union made his remarks to President John F. Kennedy.
Do you remember September 29, 1959 ?
THIS WAS HIS ENTIRE QUOTE :
"Your children's children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands." "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Remember, socialism leads to Communism. So, how do you create a Socialistic State?
There are 8 levels of control; read the following recipe:
1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.
3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government that way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government
6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.
8) Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.
A perfect parallel to the Democrat agenda!!!!!
I remember this very well. He also said "We will bury you".

Bob Livingston was once considered radical in his thinking. Now his radical thinking and writing has come to be:
The American republic risks descending into mob rule. There are those among us who seek rule by disruption when they don't get what they want with rule by law. Their goal is to impose their will on society by intimidation, disorder and even violence. Agitators and activists take to the streets at the slightest provocation, aided, abetted and encouraged by news media hungry for inflammatory video to boost ratings. Demonstrations erupt so often now they have become almost cliché to the point of diminishing impact, spurring protestors to ever more outrageous acts to get public attention. It's not just in the streets or in the foyer of the Capitol building. Congress itself stages sit-ins on Capitol Hill and endlessly take up chamber time by monopolizing the floor with frivolous, meaningless and futile efforts to derail proceedings not to their liking. Liberal socialists especially make sophisticated and effective use of social media and technology to incite, organize and execute mass gatherings. Idealistic young people are especially adept at these methods and embrace the leftist ideology as a noble cause, unaware or uncaring
of practical realities. The leftist protestors are no longer satisfied with just making their displeasure known, but increasingly believe rioting in the streets, blocking roads, and burning neighborhoods is just fine — and the
police seem to be allowing it. for what's been going on in America. The Greeks made up the word long ago: Ochlocracy, the rule of government by mob or a mass of people, or, the intimidation of legitimate authorities. It's also called "mobocracy" from the Latin term mobile vulgus, which translates as "the fickle crowd." Mass protests hold a time-honored position in American history, going back to the colonists who rebelled against oppression by a far-away king, breaking away to form a new nation. I have great admiration for those original colonists, for their hatred of oppression, for their independent spirit, for their courage against all odds to stand up to the most powerful nation in the world at that time in their fight for freedom, earning their title of "Sons of Liberty." They believed so fervently in the right to speak up against what they perceived to be misuse of power by any governing body that they incorporated protection for it in the Constitution of the new nation. The First Amendment declares that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The violent rabble taking to the streets these days to protest cannot claim to be heirs to the cherished title of "Sons of Liberty." They wreak mayhem in the name of freedom of speech yet shout down those who disagree with them. They rail against oppression yet scream for more government. They demand more freedom yet call for more socialism. Conservatives and libertarians are losing the battle because political discourse is drowned out. Dissenting voices within the party have become more strident and insistent, erupting into the mayhem common to Democrats. The descent of America into mob rule will only get worse as divisive and opposing political dogmas harden into immoveable concrete ramparts. Is it time for conservatives and libertarians to adopt the mob rule tactics of the left? Should those who believe in limited government, sound fiscal policy, and individual freedom take to the streets to oppose leftist goons and establishment hacks alike? It is certainly tempting to follow Newton's Law and create an equal and opposite reaction to the forces opposing liberty. But the nature of that reaction should not be violence in the streets. Mob rule is not the answer to the considerable ills of a divided nation. To begin with, once a person becomes part of a mob, that person ceases to function as a thinking, rational being and becomes a mindless organism chanting passionate simple-minded slogans. People caught up in the fever of a boisterous mob are no longer individual humans, but are reduced to being soldier ants controlled by the group-think colony, and group-think is anathema to liberty. There is a place in our system for orderly dissent through mass demonstrations. It was with good reason that the nation's founders chose to protect the right of peaceable assembly. But there is no place for lawless abuse of that right. There are effective ways for conservatives to champion the cause of liberty and reason without burning down the barn. The Tea Party revolt that erupted after Barack Obama took up residence in the White House created a template that can be used as a guide for the resurgence of a resistance movement to the advancing mobs of socialists. The Tea Party, more a generalized movement than an actual organized political party, grew from grassroots anger over government encroachments on personal liberties. Tea Party activists demonstrated in the streets — peacefully — and made their presence known at town hall meetings hosted by political leaders. They mobilized action to win at the voting booth, getting conservative-minded politicians elected to municipal, state, and national offices and gaining influence in state and national legislatures. The Tea Party movement was stolen away by establishment GOP activists, and never had a single point of focus and tended to be fragmented in its efforts, which eventually diluted its impact. But the movement established a tactical path that worked and could work again with new energy behind it. We can expect redoubled assaults on liberty from the liberals, still stinging from their humiliating loss last November. Rest assured they will not be caught with their collective pants down again and are even now mobilizing and strategizing their battle plans for all future elections and legislative confrontations. I believe it is urgent to revive a Neo-Tea Party movement or something by a different name with the same purpose to restore common sense and respect for individual liberty to our government and society. The gains made by the original will fast be eroded by the liberal onslaught if conservatives sit complacent and uninvolved. Just as the original Tea Party movement swelled spontaneously from grassroots outrage, so can a revival emerge from the energy of hundreds of thousands of conservatives across the country who are mad as hell and won't take it anymore. Donald Trump tapped into that seething cauldron of energy to win the election (to what end remains to be seen). The revival, I believe, starts with you and me. We must individually on our own take the initiative to carry the banner of conservative resistance against the socialist cancer. Here are some things we can do to aid the resistance. • Communicate. Prepare with like-minded folks in your area. Write letters to the editor supporting your positions. Make use of social media's political discussion groups. • Start local. Attend town halls, city council meetings, school board and PTA meetings, and any public forums where conservative ideas should be made known. Beware that bureaucrats and those who profit off of the welfare state will try and shout you down. • Gather intel. Pay close attention to what anarchists are saying, writing, and doing. It is more comfortable to socialize and commune only with those who think the same as you, but that does not inform us of the inner workings of the enemy mind. Without rancor, converse with liberals to understand how they think, why they think that way, and what they intend to do about it. In the military, they call this gathering intelligence. • Protest. Take to the streets with a libertarian or conservative message, but do not allow the passions of the moment to blind you to rule of law. • By all means, vote if you want your candidate chosen. Despite objections from the mobs, we still choose our leaders in the voting booth, not with a torch in the streets. A distinguishing quality of a true grassroots movement is that it arises of its own volition from the collective will of many individuals that reaches critical mass and coalesces into a force to be reckoned with. That means it begins with individual effort from you and from me and becomes a legitimate power when there are enough of us taking action to make the power felt where it counts. And:
Biden:
Words vs. Actions by Newt Gingrich As I have watched the elite liberal media gush over the inauguration of President Joe Biden, I have waited for at least someone to analyze the fascinating difference between President Biden’s inaugural speech and his inaugural actions. First, I thought the speech was incredibly well-given. The speech promised unity, togetherness, and finding common ground – it was a speech of classic American bipartisanship and civic goodwill. He promised to reach out to everyone, work with everyone, and be an American president, rather than a Democratic, partisan president. It strongly reminded me of President Barack Obama’s first inaugural address. And, in fact, I had about the same takeaway for Biden’s speech as I did for Obama’s: If he leads the way he’s speaking – and acts as he says he will – he will split the Republican party and have a large, American governing majority for his entire presidency. Of course, President Obama didn’t do this. He quickly went to the left, and promptly lost his majorities in the House and Senate. Based on President Biden’s first days, it seems he is following the same Obama playbook. Hours after giving his excellent inaugural speech, President Biden went to the White House and signed 17 executive orders – including more than a dozen which totally contradict his pledge of bipartisanship, unity, and finding common ground. Instead, he began the process of tearing down everything President Donald Trump did – erasing everything he achieved – no matter how it benefited Americans or how many Americans supported it. We can start with immigration – over which the country has long been deeply split. President Biden immediately withdrew President Trump’s emergency declaration which was funding the wall and additional security at the Southern border. He did this at a time when – right now – there are 6,000 to 8,000 people in a caravan in Honduras heading to the United States with the intention of entering. Now, Democrats and the elite liberal media hate the idea of the border wall. But 77 percent of Republicans support it, according to a 2019 poll by Rasmussen Reports for the American Road & Transportation Builders Association and American Public Transportation
Association. Where is the bipartisanship? President Biden canceled his predecessor’s order to exclude people in the country illegally from the state-by-state tallies for determining the number of congressional and Electoral College seats. I have not found a poll on this specific question, but a July 2019 Hill-HarrisX poll found 55 percent of Americans supported adding a citizenship status question to the US Census – an issue still being heard by courts. President Biden also withdrew President Trump’s orders which made it easier for law enforcement to deport people who were in the country illegally – including people who had broken laws unrelated to their immigration status. According to Pew Research, in November 2019, “The public is more closely divided on the importance of increasing deportations of unauthorized immigrants, with 54% saying this is a very or somewhat important goal and 45% saying it is not too or not at all important.” Again, where is the
common ground – or even the discussion? In another example, President Biden said the US – with zero stated conditions – would rejoin the World Health Organization, which continues to be beholden to communist China and continues to lie about the origins of COVID-19 on the Chinese Communist Party’s behalf. According to Pew Research in November, 2020, 86 percent of Democrats trust the WHO, while only 27 percent believe the organization is reliable. Nevertheless, no conversation, consideration, or compromise from the Biden administration. America will take
the left path. President Biden’s decision to rejoin the Paris agreement on climate change was, of course, inevitable. Along partisan lines, 57 percent of Republicans oppose this, according to a November 2020 YouGov poll. Ironically, the Paris agreement has been more than met by the US. Because we’ve moved toward natural gas and away from coal, our carbon emissions are drastically lower than even before we joined the agreement under President Obama. No other country in the world has reduced its environmental impact as deeply as the United States. Now, this only matters if you care about reality more than
symbolism. President Biden also cancel the Keystone XL pipeline to move oil from Canada to the US. This was totally divisive. It was also a critical piece of President Trump’s plan to keep the US energy independent, but
the left didn’t like the idea of the pipeline, so it’s out. To quickly name a few more, President Biden ended President Trump’s travel ban on majority Muslim countries which lacked appropriate security. (Note: It was never a “Muslim ban” as the left asserted. Seven countries do not represent the entire Muslim world.) Further, why in the midst of a pandemic, would you lift any travel bans
from unstable nations? As a final example from the longer list (which I go into in more detail on my podcast) President rescinding the 1776 commission goes to the heart of the argument over our nation’s identity. It is has become near-theology for the left to believe that America cannot be exceptional, and that people like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson must not be considered serious contributors to our history. The left believes every American should ascribe to The New York Times’ 1619 Project, which reframes all of American history around slavery and discredits virtually every person who had a hand in writing the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or winning the American Revolution. Now, none of this should be construed as a wish or desire that President Biden fail as our chief executive. Unless you are irrational, every American should want the American president to succeed. If the President doesn’t succeed, America gets in
trouble. This should be taken as a challenge to President Biden to make sure his actions match his words. So far, I see him talking about unity and calling for all of us to work together, but I’m curious about who he thinks “us” really is.
