How to
Create a Crisis and Steal a Nation
By Sam Sewell , Aristotle the Hun, The Rev. Big Goon and
Good Shepherd Sam
"Se non è
vero, è ben trovato."
Note: It will quickly be obvious to the reader why details have been
obscured, omitted or fictionalized in this fascinating narrative of events that
began nearly forty years ago and concludes with the results of the mid term
elections in the United
States .
Preface:
Years ago I regularly played billiards with a Jewish
friend from New York City
who had an eccentric habit that augmented his skill with a cue stick and billiard
balls. Whenever I called a shot, for
instance “six ball in the corner pocket” he would hustle to that pocket and
touch it while saying the word “Haman”.
Of course, this aroused my curiosity and when I asked him what he was
doing he told me to read the Book of Ester from the Hebrew Scriptures. The Book of Esther is
the only book in the Bible where "God" is not even mentioned. It is a story of political intrigue fueled by
hatred. It also contains the most
satisfying example of poetic justice in the world’s ancient literature. For the reader to grasp to significance of
the Haman story’s relevance to the mid term elections in the United States you
will need to carefully follow the plot and logic of events that began more than
forty years ago.
Narrative:
Even small children know how
to get what they want by creating a crisis.
Witness any “temper tantrum.” My
wife and I teach parenting skills. One of our sayings which we recommend to
parents when dealing with a child’s “crisis strategy” is: “Poor planning on your part does not
constitute a crisis on my part. No, you can’t borrow $20 because you are broke,
even if you did promise to take Betty Lou to the movies tonight.” The child did not get their way. A similar “No!” needs to be said to adult
politicians who have created a crisis to get their way.
Another
example; Paris taxi-drivers, in protest against a police demand that they take
physical examinations, threatened to obey every traffic law to the letter—which
would, they vowed, produce the greatest traffic jam Paris had ever seen. The
Taxi drivers got their way.
Creating
a crisis to get one’s way is a strategy as old as Moses calling down plagues upon
Pharaoh and saying “Let my people go.”
Rohm Emmanuel "we cannot let this financial crisis go to
waste” It’s obvious to anyone with
half a brain that Obama is using a crisis strategy to further his
liberal/socialist agenda
To
better understand this fascinating story below we need some background
information. In the late 1960s a pair of
college professors who thought they were original thinkers came up with something
called the Cloward-Piven Strategy (CPS), a strategy for forcing political
change through orchestrated crisis. “Cloward-Piven's early promoters cited Chicago radical community organizer Saul
Alinsky as their inspiration.” Make the enemy (sic) live up to their own book
of rules," Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book, Rules for Radicals. When
pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judaeo-Christian
moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human
agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to
its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the
capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.” Notice that Alinski might have heard about the
Paris taxi
drivers, and then gave their strategy a radical left twist.
Saul
Alinsky had a huge influence on radical left people of the day. Alinsky was the subject of Hillary
Clinton's senior honors thesis at Wellesley College . “In early 1993, the White House requested that Wellesley not release the
thesis to anyone. Wellesley complied,
instituting a new rule that closed access to the thesis of any sitting U.S.
president or first lady, a rule that in practice applied only to Rodham.” Alinski also strongly influenced a
young Chicago “community
organizer” named Barack Obama.
An old friend from my spooky past, who was a fellow graduate
student at the University of Missouri at Kansas City, recently reminded me of his
adventures back in the early 1970s. If
you did not know that clergy are used for intelligence and undercover missions,
it is probably because the double life of clergy/spies is seldom exposed. However history gives us a dramatic example. Dietrich
Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor, theologian, and spy. He was
also involved in the German Resistance movement against Nazism and a founding
member of the Confessing Church. His involvement in plans by
members of the Abwehr
(the German Military Intelligence Office) to assassinate
Adolf
Hitler resulted in his arrest in April 1943 and his subsequent execution by
hanging in April 1945, twenty-three days before the Nazis' surrender.
Historical
Background
Believe it or not these decades old events, told below by
an Intelligence Officer with the code name The Rev. Big Goon, help explain our
present political and economic crisis.
Dear Aristotle the Hun
I’ve been doing some thinking that I thought I
would share with you. My memories of the
work I was doing when we knew each other at UMKC have really helped inform me
about our present situation with our current President and the financial
crisis.
I have visited “The Steady Drip” many times and
I know your reputation for accurate research, so you will find citations
included to back up what I have to say. I noticed that on your blog you have expressed
suspicions about the onset of the financial meltdown just in time to help Obama
get elected. You also expressed
suspicions about the most liberal President and Congress in the history of the
nation conveniently coming into office at a time when the economy was so
wounded that it might be possible to establish a socialist economic system. Just how “lucky” can these liberals get?
What I
have to say may help you understand the dynamics, but I doubt it will do away
with your suspicions. Being suspicious
is a job requirement for both Clergy and Intelligence work. I also know you are well connected to the
Internet community and influential bloggers, so you have my permission to use
my comments as you see fit.
Here is my story: I arrived in Kansas City , Mo.
in May of 1970, shortly after the first bombing done by a group of left wing
radicals. I worked for the Western Diocese of the
Episcopal Church which sponsored the St.
Thomas Student Center at UMKC. Naming an Episcopal student center after
“Doubting Thomas” was glaringly appropriate for a college campus in the early
70s No, your readers can not ask about
my real employer. (As the old joke goes;
“If I told you I would have to kill you.”)
The summer of 1970 in Kansas City was a really wild ride. In 1970
alone, an estimated 3,000 bombings and 50,000 bomb threats occurred in the United States , and Kansas City was not left out of the
chaos. One of my assignments was to look
into the activities of a group of radicals who, after they were arrested, became
melodramatically known as “the Kansas City Four.” They were really bungling, small time
radicals. A
legal case from those days survives on the Internet.
I began the process of establishing my cover. It
was arranged for the FBI to contact known radicals in the community and ask
them questions about me. My “case
officer” posed as a state employee, so my monthly meetings at his office were
open and aroused no suspicion. I was
warmly accepted by the radical community, and even spent some time living at a
place operated by young radicals called the Ecstatic Umbrella, until I found
more permanent housing.
The Second Presbyterian Church at 52nd and Oak
owned an apartment building, and one of the Kansas City bombers lived in that
building. As well as doing my job as a
campus chaplain, I became a youth pastor at Second Presbyterian, and took an
apartment in their building. I must
admit that I was very uncomfortable living in the same building with a LSD
using, grass smoking alcoholic who I knew was making bombs in his bedroom.
Part Two
By the time I entered UMKC in the fall as a
graduate student, my cover was already firmly established. To put a cinch knot on my cover story, I also
became the Chaplain of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. I still experience a gratifying chuckle over
how perfectly, easily, and quickly I had infiltrated the radical community in
KC. It wasn’t that hard. Almost everyone was doing acid and grass. Every weekend there was a wild carnival of
hippy, stoner, radical, love-child young people in Volker Park . Contact was easy.
I won my status in the counter-culture community
with nothing more than a prank. I
purchased a case of dish washing liquid, and in the dark of night I poured the
entire case into the Plaza fountain. My
accomplices were very impressed. My
boldness and mountain of suds made the front page of the Kansas City Star.
I had a different name then. I was called Rev. Big Goon. It should be noted here that I physically
resemble a great silver back gorilla, although my knuckles don’t drag on the
ground. A local Kansas City
undercover officer who had no idea who I was gave me that name. I saw it in a police report on activity in Volker Park . Years later I found out that my cover was so
believable that I was on a list of dangerous radicals that Kansas City Chief of
Police Clarence Kelly took with him when he was appointed as the Director of
the FBI in 1973.
For me, the investigation of the Kansas City Four
quickly fizzled. Other investigators
uncovered the activities of the suspects, provided the evidence and they were arraigned
in July of 1971. My last contact with
that case was to arrange to be appointed as a Chaplain for the Jackson County
jail, where I interviewed one of the suspects who was being held there as a
federal prisoner awaiting trial.
The case was hugely overblown, in the way law
enforcement and prosecutors will exaggerate to make their work seem to be more
important and to advance their careers.
One of them was more of a nut case than a criminal and he might have
been the most dangerous because of his hatred and violence against “the system.” He is still alive, on the streets, and
probably still dangerous.
I struck up a romantic involvement with a social
worker from Chicago who was working for Family and Children’s Services, a state
of Missouri
agency. Her friends and contacts were a
gold mine for my new mission. That is
how I became involved with the Welfare Rights Organization (WRO) of Kansas City where I saw,
first hand, how community activists applied the CPS (Cloward Piven Strategy) theory
in real life.
CPS and Saul Alinski were all the rage among left
wing professors, activists, students and social workers. My social worker girl friend from Chicago knew all about
Saul Alinski. CPS was a new idea seen as
dazzlingly brilliant by social workers and other liberals. She introduced me to a radical community
activist, also from Chicago, who was organizing poor black people who lived in
Wayne Minor public housing. His name was
Mark. Mark was also a clergyman. Mark introduced me to a powerfully
charismatic black woman who was Executive Director of the Kansas City Welfare
Rights Organization. There were several
young leftist white men and women who worked for the WRO. Mark taught me the ropes about how we were
going to train these young “community organizers” and welfare recipients, so
that they became effective foot soldiers for the left wing.
The socialist professors who devised the CPS, Columbia University
sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven noted that: the
number of Americans subsisting on welfare -- about 8 million, at the time --
probably represented less than half the number who were technically eligible
for full benefits. They proposed a "massive drive to recruit the poor onto
the welfare rolls." Cloward and Piven calculated that persuading even a
fraction of potential welfare recipients to demand their entitlements would
bankrupt the system. The result, they predicted, would be "a profound
financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces …
for major economic reform at the national level." Their article called for "cadres of
aggressive organizers" to use "demonstrations to create a climate of
militancy." Intimidated by threats of black violence, politicians would
appeal to the federal government for help. Carefully orchestrated media
campaigns, carried out by friendly, leftwing journalists, would float the idea
of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the form of a
guaranteed living income for all -- working and non-working people alike. Local
officials would clutch at this idea like drowning men to a lifeline. They would
apply pressure on Washington
to implement it. With every major city erupting into chaos, Washington would have to act.”
Mark and I were part of that "cadres of aggressive organizers." We would go through the vast, dilapidated
cavern of poverty called Wayne Minor with a list of all the entitlements
offered by the Federal Government and the State of Missouri .
Each person we talked to became instantly “motivated” to apply for more
welfare benefits. Before long, people
began seeking us out at the WRO office.
Outreach to the community wasn’t necessary. The community flocked to us. We would show them how to fill out
application forms, and many times we filled out the forms for them.
When we had a large number of people ready to apply for
new benefits, or additional benefits they had not known they were entitled to
before our training, we arranged for busses to take our new recruits to the
state office building. We had spent many
hours training them as to what to do and what not to do. We told them it was ok to be loud, obnoxious,
aggressive, but to never be physical or damage property. In other words, do everything you can do to
be uncivil, but don’t get yourself arrested.
We planned the event for a Friday and, of course, we called the
media. Our “trainees” staged a class “A”
media event for the television cameras. Our
first “action” was a rousing success.
When we got to the WRO office Monday morning there were
hundreds of people waiting to be “trained” in how to collect welfare. The part of the welfare system to feel the
most heat right away was what the state called “intake.” Intake social workers were overwhelmed,
intimidated, and routinely approved questionable benefits because of the stress
they were experiencing. The state began
a panicky search for new intake workers, and anybody with a BA degree was
practically dragged off the street.
Larger office space was arranged for the intake department. Mark and I were heroes to the radical
community.
Since this was happening at the same time in St. Louis and other
cities, Kitt Bond, then Auditor of State of Missouri, and soon-to-become
Governor, asked for help. I was assigned
by my “handler” to clandestinely brief Bond’s representative about what was
behind the welfare revolt.
As it turns out Mark, the community organizer from Chicago , and my social worker girl friend from Chicago were also friends
with the Kansas City Four. Soon my
primary mission was accomplished, and I went on to other projects, but I never
forgot the effectiveness of creating a crisis to bring about radical change. I concluded that the WRO and the Alinski/CPS
inspired radical community organizers were more of a danger to the nation than
the inept small time bombers.
I
stopped doing Intelligence work, the years went by, and I began my career as a
full time Pastor. Not long after I “went
straight,” I again ran into the CPS and Saul Alinsky. During the administration of George H. W.
Bush I began hearing reports of loud, obnoxious, aggressive, poor people taking
over bank lobbies and demanding that they be given mortgages. All this was happening because community
activists, many from Chicago , were doing
the same thing to banks that had been done to the state welfare offices back in
Kansas City . The role of WRO was now filled by ACORN
(Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.)
Stan
Kurtz of National Review comments on ACORN’S tactics. “While
Acorn holds to NWRO’s radical economic framework and its confrontational 1960’s-style
tactics, the targets and strategy have changed. Acorn prefers to fly under the
national radar, organizing locally in liberal urban areas — where, Stern
observes, (Sol Stern ACORN’s Nutty
Regime for Cities.” local legislators
and reporters are often “slow to grasp how radical Acorn’s positions really
are.” Acorn’s new goals are municipal “living wage” laws, targeting “big-box”
stores like Wal-Mart, rolling back welfare reform, and regulating banks —
efforts styled as combating “predatory lending.” Unfortunately, instead of
helping workers, Acorn’s living-wage campaigns drive businesses out of the very
neighborhoods where jobs are needed most. Acorn’s opposition to welfare reform
only threatens to worsen the self-reinforcing cycle of urban poverty and family
breakdown. Perhaps most mischievously, says Stern, Acorn uses banking
regulations to pressure financial institutions into massive “donations” that it
uses to finance supposedly non-partisan voter turn-out drives.”
Obama’s role as a
radical community organizer and Acorn “leadership trainer” is well
established. Kurtz continues: “Acorn’s tactics are famously
“in your face.” Just think of Code Pink’s well-known operations (i.e. threatening
to occupy congressional offices, interrupting the testimony of General David
Petraeus) and you’ll get the idea. Acorn protesters have disrupted Federal
Reserve hearings, but mostly deploy their aggressive tactics locally. Chicago
is home to one of its strongest chapters, and Acorn has burst into a closed
city council meeting there. Acorn protestors in Baltimore disrupted a bankers’ dinner and
sent four busloads of profanity-screaming protestors against the mayor’s home,
terrifying his wife and kids. Even a Baltimore
city council member who generally supports Acorn said their intimidation
tactics had crossed the line.”
It wouldn’t take a degree in economics to see what
was going to happen. This time the Alinski/CPS pressure wasn’t aimed at the
state of Missouri
and Kitt Bond. By
1999 Fannie Mae came under pressure from the Clinton administration to
expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income borrowers. At the same time,
institutions in the primary mortgage market pressed Fannie Mae to ease credit
requirements on the mortgages it was willing to purchase, enabling them to make
loans to subprime borrowers at interest rates higher than conventional
loans. Everybody knows how the problem escalated from there.
Part
Three
Do you still have
doubts about your suspicions that the financial crisis happened just in time to
help Obama get elected? Do you still
have doubts about your suspicions that there is something fishy about the
financial crisis and the way Congress passed the trillion dollar “Reward Liberal Causes and Constituents Bill”
without anyone actually reading it, because we had a “crisis”? See I told you that I wouldn’t be able to help
your suspicious nature. J
The Rev. Big Goon
To emphasize
Rev. Big Goon’s comments, here is an absolutely brilliant piece by Jim Simpson
that details the connection of Barack Obama to those who practice the
Cloward-Piven strategy. “Barack
Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis”
After
reading Jim Simpson’s article you will more fully understand how CPS is
connected to Barack Obama, and why Obama keeps using the word “crisis” in every
speech he gives. I don’t know how to
escape the conclusion that manufactured crisis is what clobbered the
economy. Manufactured crisis is what made
Obama President, and manufactured crisis is what drives his administration and
his policies. There is a web site
entitled, “Things
I know are true but can’t prove.” Maybe I should send them an email
Connecting the Dots
Here is a part of the puzzle I think others have
missed.
If an enemy
of America
were to pair the Cloward-Piven strategy to the principles of the new science of
networks, it would be possible to target a hub in a system, create a crisis,
and by causing that hub to fail, create a domino effect in other hubs and the
rest of the system. See here:
and
And a link to the most popular book on
the subject
Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age by Duncan Watts
Six Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age by Duncan Watts
“Columbia Professor Duncan J. Watts builds
on the work of mathematicians, physicists, biologists, sociologists, economists
and others to advance the new science of networks. "Six
Degrees: The Science of a Connected Age " brings a sociologist’s
perspective to a field relevant to those dealing with complex systems and their
robustness and fragility under stress. The science of networks has significance
for those wrestling with current issues of law and public policy in a wide
spectrum of applications including electric power grids, insurance markets and
anti-terror measures.
In 1999, Barabasi and Albert published a ground breaking paper "Emergence of Scaling in Random Networks." Science, 286, 509-512. (1999). This paper showed that certain connections in real world networks don't have a normal ("bell curve") distribution, but rather follow a power law distribution. This means that there is an increased likelihood of extreme events in such "scale- free" networks. As a result, in scale-free networks, as networks evolve, a few nodes will be "hubs" with an extraordinary number of connections. Barabasi and Albert also found that the evolution of these hubs depended on the combination of network growth and "preferential attachment" - the tendency for new nodes to connect to those already well connected (the "rich get richer" effect.)”

The
major reason other political commentators have not addressed the issue of network
science is that only mathematicians and scientists understand it. My feeble attempt at a “plain speak”
translation is that all networks tend to form hubs that are connected to
thousands of other networks, and more importantly, to other hubs. These hubs are vulnerable to a “created
crisis,” and when that happens the entire web collapses, be it the World Wide
Web or the web of the U.S.
economy.
National security
experts are well aware of the vulnerability of network hubs, and publish Network
Vulnerability and Risk Assessment reports.
This one is researched and published by DTIC Provider of DoD Technical
Information to Support the Defense Community.
One of the points to note is that: “Threats that originate
inside the network tend to have the ability to exploit vulnerabilities in a
serial form. This allows the attacker to traverse, or "leap-frog"
across the network to an advantageous position.” The most likely scenario would expect the
attack to come from inside the network when we are looking at the financial
network. I have read this risk
assessment and it is too general to connect dots as to how a financial “crisis”
might be timed and executed, but it is very clear that it can happen.
We know how leftist activists created a crisis and turned the mortgage lending business into a “mortgage welfare entitlement” lending policy. We know that the hub we know as “mortgage banking” failed, bringing down the rest of the economy with it. What we don’t know is how the failure was timed.
My guess is
that the science of networks was used to tilt the election in Obama’s favor and
damage the economy to such an extent that reshaping it along a socialist
paradigm became possible.
One
of my hopes in writing this article is to encourage real network scientists to
take a look at this hypothesis. One
friend who is a scientist at Amherst
says I am on the right track, but that isn’t enough to make a definitive
statement.
Remember all
that talk about how savvy the Obama campaign was about using the Internet? Remember all those Internet CEOs who were on
the Obama team? Remember that George
Soros, "the man who broke the
Bank of England,"
the king of creating market and currency crisis, was on Obama’s team? Can you really imagine a likely scenario
where these people do not know about network science and how to use a created
crisis to get what they want?
We know for
sure that a crisis was deliberately created with malice aforethought by enemies
of our country and liberal politicians.
They overtly said they would do it, and they did. Many of these created events have damaged our
nation since 1970. The culprits aren’t
even trying to hide the fact that they did it. Decent Americans have trouble believing that
people could deliberately do something so evil. That is how deliberately evil
people pull the wool over the eyes of decent people.
This isn’t a
conspiracy theory. No black helicopters or deep throats. It isn’t
hidden and it isn’t secret. It is easily
visible for those who have eyes to see.
Those radical socialists who used deliberately created crisis tactics
were successful beyond their expectations.
I am reminded of Osama Ben Laden’s pleasant surprise when he was
informed about how successful the 9/11 attack had been. I imagine Obama shares Osama’s elation over
his unlikely success.
In fact the
Democrats were too successful. They accomplished the goal of ruining the
economy of the United States ,
and their economic theories on how to restore the economy were impotent. So by the time the mid-term elections arrived
the Democrats were suffering from the disease they created to undermine the
Republicans
The Moral of the Story
Now, what
about Haman from the Book of Esther?
Remember him?
A court
official named "Haman" vows to hang a man named "Mordecai,"
because Mordecai will not submit to Haman's power. Haman's hatred for Mordecai is contagious. Soon, many others take a vow to hang
Mordecai. They build a gallows fifty
cubits high. They extend their hatred to anyone related to Mordecai. These men conspire to destroy Mordecai and
all the Jewish people.
With Queen Esther's
help, Haman lost favor in the eyes of the people, and
Mordecai grew
more popular. Mordecai was publicly
honored in the streets of the city. The House of Haman quickly lost power and
support.
The Bible
records this decision for the final scene:
"Behold
also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai. .
. So they hanged Haman on the gallows
that he had prepared for Mordecai. . . And Esther set the House of Mordecai
over the House of Haman."
With visions
of the bodies of hundreds of Democratic state legislators, Governors, Congressmen,
and Senators slowly twisting in the wind, let us remember how dangerous it is
to hate and build a gallows. You never
can be sure who is going to be hanged thereon.
