There just aren’t enough hours in the day to connect all of Obama’s connections to radical left wing organizations. We know about his involvement in ACORN. We know about his association with Bill Ayers. Much has been written about his associations (mostly on the web, since the MSM is uninterested), but nobody has tied it all together into one cohesive story.
Well, now James Simpson at American Thinker has done just that. In Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis, Simpson makes the case that the left not only caused the current financial crisis, but they intended for it to happen. It’s part of their sinister plan to turn the United States into a socialist country.
One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.
I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent – the failure is deliberate. Don’t laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.
The article provides an in-depth analysis of the radicals Obama is tied to and his involvement with ACORN and the current financial crisis. We’ve heard Obama speak of “sometimes there are unintended consequences.” This well documented and researched piece will make you wonder. Are those consequences really unintended or are they simply the means to an end?
It’s important to read the entire article to gain a complete understanding of Barack Obama’s past and how it ties into what is going on today.
Interesting post. I came upon this too late today to examine it fully, but I read the entire article, and intend to do so. Suffice it to say, for now, that Saul Alinsky died in 1972, so if the article is as truthful as the assertion below, citing a book Alinsky is said to have written 17 years after his death, I expect to find about the same level of honesty that I’ve found in most right-wing blogs.
“Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals.”
As for why the MSM haven’t pursued this, I think the answer may be that the MSM follows current news and not history. And history, revisionist or otherwise, must be what this article is about since the names it invokes are almost entirely from the early to mid sixties. People who Barack Obama could hardly have associated with when they were most involved in radical politics.
As Simpson’s article states, the Cloward-Piven strategy was first elucidated in The Nation magazine on May 2, 1966. Young Barack must have been a radical prodigy indeed. He was five years old at the time.

Note to Andrew: Your hero, Stalin died a long time ago, but thaat doesn’t stop today’s Commies from following his philosophy. It’s the same story, Obama was only 6 years old when his buddy Bill Ayres was blowing up buildings, so he doesn’t matter.

More examples of the thought processes of the pseudo conservatives. I say pseudo conservatives because real conservatives like George Will and the late William F. Buckley read, listen, and think, the way that I do. Pseudo conservatives simply react. Real conservatives write books and discuss ideas. Pseudo conservatives are thrilled by radio shouters, and lipsynch along with fundamentalist hate preachers. So, my hero is Stalin? You don’t even know why Stalin was the most evil man of the last century. It’s funny how the pseudo no-brain-cons can accuse the Obama crowd of greed, and in the next breath accuse the Obamians of being socialist or communist (and of course you don’t know the difference between the two). So, Zorro, what exactly was it in my comment that tipped you off that Stalin, the worst person of the last century, was my hero? Nah. Forget I asked. Not only do you not know what you’re trying to say, you don’t even know why you’re trying to say it.

Andrew-Why are you here on my site? Why not go to HuffPo and the Daily Kos where you will be welcomed with open arms? Do you think that insulting my intelligence will make me change my beliefs? Do you think telling Zorro he has no idea of the difference between socialism and communism is going to prove your point?
Something tells me that the late William F. Buckley would mop the floor with you in a debate.
Like Karl Marx, Saul Alinski made sure he left a lasting legacy. To say someone schooled in a philosophy is somehow removed from that philosphy because the philosopher is dead is absolutely ridiculous.

Lonely, Your site says that comments are welcomed and encouraged. If you want to retract that, or restate it to say that only people who share your beliefs are welcomed, I’ll go. You’ll be admitting that your views can’t stand up to scrutiny and that will sufficiently answer anything I can say. As for HuffPo and Daily Kos, I’m no more in agreement with them than you are. I have no point to make other than the suggestion that Zorro doesn’t know the difference between communism and socialism. Zorro can prove me wrong just by showing that he/she knows the difference between the two. It’s up to Zorro. Of course Buckley could have mopped the floor with me. He always spoke from knowledge and facts, not from hysteria. Like Karl Marx, Alinsky has left only memories. Time has proved both of them wrong and no one, anywhere, wants communism. All they are now are names and lame ideas that rightwing fearmongers evoke to get their fellow extremists worked up. The grassroots rightwing is generally motivated by fear and desperation, not hope. And everything I see at this sight proves that. No one here seems to have any hope or optimism. Everybody seems frightened and angry. So just admit that your ideas can’t take any criticism and, out of compassion, I’ll leave.
