So Obama is proclaiming the recession over, and taking credit for it.
"Thanks to the bold and decisive action we have taken since January, I can stand here with confidence and say that we have pulled this economy back from the brink…. A full and vibrant recovery is still many months away." Obama said.
The United States has been in recession since December 2007. There is dispute between economists as to whether or not it is actually over.
And one has to wonder if it is really even in Obama’s best interests for the economy to go on the upswing?
One of Obama’s mentors while he was working as an “agitator” in the South Side of Chicago in 1985, was Mike Kruglik . He was a devout follower of Saul Alinsky, whose Rules for Radicals method of politics, teaches how to destroy political adversaries. In it, he refers to the Cloward/Piven Strategy as a method, which is used by the radical Left to create crisis.
The Cloward/Piven Strategy
So what exactly is this strategy? Well, the goal is to make an already weak economy even worse. This strategy explains why the Democrats’ plan to "stimulate" the economy involves massive deficit spending projects. It includes 100s of millions for ACORN and its subgroups such as SHOP and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. Expanding the S-Chip Program through deficit spending in a supposed effort to "save the children" only makes a faltering economy worse. Rahm Emanuel has said, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."
The agitator's job is to spark such crises. According to The American Thinker, Alinsky teaches that an agitator is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are miserable, through no fault of their own, the unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then band them together to demand what they deserve (to "rub raw the sores of discontent”), to cause such a pubic media uproar that governments and corporations will bow to their demands just to make them go away.
The strategy's ultimate goal is to bring about the fall of capitalism by overloading and undermining government bureaucracy to bring about a need for government intervention, eventually ushering in a new wave of socialism.
We must now view the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan's spending on items like food stamps, jobless benefits, and health care with the knowledge of this end goal in mind.
If Congress were to allow a robust economy, parents would be able to provide for their children themselves by earning and keeping more of their own money. And Democrats would consider that a lost opportunity.
The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal was to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.
Obama the Agitator?
And Obama seems just the guy to get the job done. One of his early mentors in the Alinsky method was Mike Kruglik, who was quoted as saying to Ryan Lizza of The New Republic, about Obama:
"He was a natural, the undisputed master of agitation, who could engage a room full of recruiting targets in a rapid-fire Socratic dialogue, nudging them to admit that they were not living up to their own standards. As with the panhandler, he could be aggressive and confrontational. With probing, sometimes personal questions, he would pinpoint the source of pain in their lives, tearing down their egos just enough before dangling a carrot of hope that they could make things better."
Their main goal is to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income by redistributing existing income.
Since Conservative Republicans are always ready to proclaim the evils of public welfare, the authors figured they would get closer to their goal by creating disruption within the Democrats. They say, "Whites - both working class ethnic groups and many in the middle class - would be aroused against the ghetto poor, while liberal groups, which until recently have been comforted by the notion that the poor are few... would probably support the movement. Group conflict, spelling political crisis for the local party apparatus, would thus become acute as welfare rolls mounted and the strains on local budgets became more severe.”
Do any of the following tactics sound familiar? Flooding government with impossible demands until it slowly halts to a stop; overloading electoral systems with waves of new and bogus voters; shaking down banks, politicians in Congress, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development for affirmative-action borrowing; and, now, pulling down the national financial system by demanding subprime mortgages for low-income Americans who won’t be able to repay their loans. You don’t have to be a financial expert to know that it was these helpless mortgages that are responsible for the entire financial bailout.
But the prime example of the results of the Cloward-Piven strategy was demonstrated in 1975, when more and more people demanding welfare flooded New York City thus bankrupting the government. This caused a financial crisis that affected the whole state, and required a government bailout.
A key element of the recent crisis certainly represents many years of a "backward economic philosophy and culture of corruption" cited by the Obama camp. However, much of the backwardness and deception were promoted by the Institute for Policy Studies. Its war against the financial system used improvised non-ethical devices (INEDs) designed to destroy capitalism and support Mr. Obama. One of those roadside INEDs was the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Cloward and Piven were inspired and mobilized by the Watts race riot to develop a strategy for social change. In November 1965, they began privately distributing copies of an article they had written called Mobilizing the Poor: How it Could Be Done. It was published six months later on May 2, 1966, in The Nation, under the title, The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.
The article served its intended purpose. The Left was sufficiently fired up. Activists were abuzz over the so-called "crisis strategy" or "Cloward-Piven strategy," as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.
Cloward and Piven noted that the 8 million Americans who are on welfare probably represented less than half the number that was technically eligible for full benefits. They proposed a "massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls." They calculated that if even a fraction of potential welfare recipients were to demand their entitlements it would bankrupt the system. In the end, they predicted, would produce "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." Politicians would be intimidated by black violence and would appeal to the federal government for help. Leftwing media campaigns would promote the idea of "a federal program of income redistribution," in the guise of a guaranteed living income for all. Local officials would apply pressure on politicians to implement it. Chaos would ensue, and Washington would respond out of necessity.
The Cloward-Piven strategy hasn’t gotten its intended results quite yet. But it can serve as a warning of the Left's scariest agenda. Especially since George Soros funds both the Living Wage and Voting Rights movements. He has refined the strategy into a modern and more efficient plan to gain control.

NAOMI CAMPBELL HOLDS THE KEY?
In a twist of irony, Naomi Campbell is making war crimes allegations against former Liberian President, Charles Taylor, yet doesn’t want to talk about it. In an interview with ABC News, she stormed out, knocking over a camera, just for good measure.
“Even prosecutors in the Hague for the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone say Campbell has refused their requests to be interviewed about the allegations that they say could help directly link Taylor, the former president of Liberia, to the possession of uncut diamonds used to fuel a campaign of terror in Sierra Leone between 1997 and 2001.”
Diamonds are big business in Sierra Leone. Blood diamonds are diamonds which serve wartime purposes. Specifically used to finance insurgencies or warlords’ activities.
In fact, former Liberian president Charles Taylor was accused by the UN in 2000 of supporting the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) insurgency in neighboring Sierra Leone with weapons and training in exchange for diamonds. Now that he is facing trials charging him with 11 counts of murder, torture, rape, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers and terrorism, he has stepped down as president.
So where do the supermodel and the actress fit into all of this? Taylor allegedly gave Campbell blood diamonds at a party in South Africa in 1997. Mia Farrow also attended the party, and claims that Campbell told her about the gift later. Prosecutors say the testimony would give “direct evidence of Taylor’s possession of rough diamonds from a witness unrelated to the Liberian or Sierra Leone conflicts.”
Taylor was once one of West Africa’s most powerful men. An estimated 500,000 people were the victims of killings, systematic mutilation or other atrocities in that war, with some of the worst crimes committed by child soldiers who were drugged to desensitize them.
I don’t blame her. I don’t think I’d want to testify either.

FERGIE’S WHITE TRASH MOMENT
How white-trash is Sarah Ferguson?
Something I never thought I would say about the red-haired Duchess, who in years prior had been described as a “breath of fresh air” at the palace.
I remember when she married Prince Andrew. It took a while for her to break in to her new royal shoes. At first, the tabloids made fun of her “ginger” hair and freckles. News of her latest exploits were littered across the checkout line at the grocery store. She soon calmed down, as grown folks tend to do.
Her amiable divorce was uneventful. She and the prince still lived together until 2004. Her post-royal career has been nothing less than admirable. She has been an inspiration to many as the spokesperson for Weight Watchers. She also has a splendid relationship with Prince Andrew. They are still very close.
More recently, she is caught on tape asking an undercover reporter posing as a wealthy businessman for a $40,000 cash down payment in return for an introduction to the Prince, as well as a $724,000 fee wired directly into her bank account.
Oh, but there’s more. She also insists on one percent commission from any of the profits the businessman/reporter makes as a result of meeting the Prince.
She does maintain his innocence in all of this, claiming he knows nothing about the situation, and would never ask for money, because he is “Whiter than white.”
So, what’s the deal here? Why is former royal hurting for money? She has a known shopping problem.
Fergie once told an interviewer that the late Princess Diana walked away from her divorce with $28 million, while she received nothing. She claims to have been dirt poor even while living in the palace. The queen was quite stingy with her money, that she often had to rely on her daughters for spare cash. The girls both have trust funds, from which they pay their mom a weekly allowance.
The word on the street is that Andrew has forgiven this latest exploit. I have a feeling that he will make sure she is in the money, so to speak, if only to keep her quiet and unseen.

NON PROFIT RESTAURANT?
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
The St. Louis-based Panera Bread Co. opened the first (of what they hope to be many) “pay what you want” restaurants, where customers are told to donate what they want for a meal, whether it’s a penny or $100.
This in a world where people think nothing about paying for their coffee from the tip/give-a-penny jar. I can guarantee that it wasn’t anyone who actually worked in the restaurants who came up with this idea.
Ronald Shaich, Panera’s CEO explains:
“The pilot restaurant is run by a nonprofit foundation. If it can sustain itself financially, Panera will expand the model around the country within months. It all depends on whether customers will abide by the motto that hangs above the deli counter: “Take what you need, leave your fair share.”
OK, for one thing, this is in Clayton, MO., a high-end suburb of St. Louis, where the people aren’t really watching their pennies as much as, say, East St. Louis, where the actual need might be more prominent.
While I agree that there are some people who would want to pay, the majority are going to want to take full advantage of the free food. Perhaps placing these non-profit stores in richer suburbs is part of a marketing strategy that will “guilt” patrons into paying a lot, but then the people who really need the food will miss out.
My economist boyfriend explains that this system is more in line with classic economics, where the buyer sets the price. However, my experience working in the food industry tells me they ain’t going to last.
It seems to me that if Panera is concerned about charity, they would do better just to donate food to a shelter or open a soup kitchen of their own.

COUGARS DIE YOUNG
The recent cougar trend may be dying early on. Literally.
I’ve always admired cougars. Kind of like, “hell with the world, I’m going to marry my boy toy.” Hollywood cougars like Madonna, Courtney Cox and Demi Moore have made it fashionable to marry young. I, myself, have known plenty of successful cougar marriages.
However despite all the positive emotional research, recent findings have shown that society’s response to cougars is more stressful than not, and
that stress can apparently cause them to die early. The younger the boy, the earlier the death, German researchers say.
The trends were identified by an analysis of marriage and death records of almost two million Dutch men and women, Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reported. Ironically enough, men don’t experience this phenomenon, as it is apparently reversed. The younger the wife, the longer his lifespan.
But lest you think that marrying an older man would be better, research shows that to be no good as well. The best choice for a woman who wants to live a long life is to marry someone within three years of her age.

SLAVES IN AMERICA
I was telling a co-worker about this article I was writing on sex trafficking, sharing some of the disturbing statistics and stories, to which her reply was,
“Yeah, but I don’t think that happens here in North Carolina.”
She, like probably the majority of Americans, doubt that it even happens in this country, when they don’t realize it could be happening in their neighborhood.
I have to admit, I was a little shocked when I found out that Charlotte is a major sex trade hub for the East Coast.
Sure, there have been a few stories here and there. I remembered the Shaniaya Davis story a few years ago. I remember seeing the beautiful 5-year-old girl from a nearby town in the newspaper, shocked and appalled that her conscienceless mother could do such a thing.
Shaniaya was a 5-year-old girl, who’s life ended way before her premature death. She lived life as a normal child until she moved in with her “recovered” mother, who sold her into sex slavery for drug money. Gotta love the American court systems.
Even though that one made the papers, there are countless other stories that go unheard because people simply don’t know. The people who do know, certainly don’t want to talk about it, so these girls slip under the radar and live a tortured life without a face or a voice, often right under our noses.
The sex trade is a lucrative industry here in America as well as internationally. To say the world is full of heartless people without a conscience is a huge understatement. These girls can testify firsthand to that.
Jaycee Duggard
Jaycee Duggard is one of the lucky ones. She got out. Her story was featured on Good Morning America recently. She had been waiting for a school bus when she was kidnapped in 1991, outside her home in California by Phillip and Nancy Garrido. She was 11. For 18 years, she lived in a tent outside of their house in Berkeley California. She gave birth to two girls of Phillip Garrido’s, who she claimed were her sisters.
The neighbors of the Garrido’s, were mildly suspicious, but probably gave it little thought. Jaycee was allowed to live an outwardly “normal’ life. She even worked in her “father’s” print shop as a graphic designer.
Tina Frundt shared her story to the Women’s Funding Network. She was 14 when she ran off with an older man who had been brainwashing her for months. He was a ready ear when she had complaints about her parents, and soon became ‘the only one who got her.” Soon she fell in love and was more than willing to run off with him to Ohio.
He introduced her to a world of prostitution [“How else would they build their dream home?” he asked], abuse and self-blame.
When she didn’t make her quota of $500 a night, he would beat her in front of the other girls.
She says, “This is the same man that took me out to eat, listened to me when I wanted to complain about my parents, gave me words of advice. I was now seeing a side of him that I never saw before — a brutal side where he repeatedly hit me in front of the other girls to teach us all a lesson.”
He would lock her in the closet for hours, break her fingers, deprive her of food and water as tools of submission.
These girls are brainwashed, deprived of dignity and basic love for so long that often they have no idea that there is a better way of living.
It’s easy to want to judge these girls for what we imagine is their choice, but in reality, it is their doom. They don’t want this life, but for some, it is the only life they know. Many have been sold into this lifestyle at a young age by their parents or someone else close to them.
Imagine being sold into slavery at a child; you simply don’t know any other way. So, you adapt.
It’s amazing, I was reading the subsequent blogs to some of these articles, the hateful sentiment was amazing. People clearly blame the victims. I only hope that these people never have to undergo the hell that these girls have had.
Linda Smith of Shared Hope International, says,
“The biggest problem we have is perception. That they’re just bad girls. They don’t see the beatings, the rapes, the violations, the threats. “We’ll distribute these pictures at your school, at your middle school, we’ll go to your family’s house, we’ll get your mother.”
Ernie Allen, President and CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, says, “These kids are victims. They lack the ability to walk away. This is 21st century slavery.”
A girl from Seattle, named Briana narrowly escaped a horrible fate. Some nice looking guys lured her to their home, and talked her in to spending the night.
Thanks to a massive effort by friends and family, Briana was saved from her horror. Though she has some inklings as to what would have happened to her, had they not acted. To say she is fortunate is an understatement.
These guys are pros. They know just how to entrance these vulnerable women they prey upon.
“It shocked me how somebody in three days could take 18 years & just turn that upside down,” said Briana’s father.

BREW WITH A BEAT
There is a new brew from the tea party movement. According to FOX News, conservative singer-songwriter, Lloyd Marcus, is putting together a charity album featuring some of the more musical tea-partiers. Take Back America is the theme song that a group which could include, Ted Nugent and Victoria Jackson to name a few.
The group has a “USA for Africa” feel to it, but will not feature many big names, focusing on more unknown acts instead.
“I love the fact that we’re going to have a bunch of unknown singers and bands,” Marcus said. “It’s not about getting celebrities to do it. This is about pulling musicians from all walks of life….”
“What will be wonderful is to have a rock guy with his hair down to his butt and a ring in his nose singing a duet with a guy in a business suit. There is just something fantastic about that. This album is about all the different kinds of voices in the Tea Party.”
It would seem that the tea party is the perfect place to bring such personalities together for a common purpose. Where else can you find someone like Ted Nugent partying alongside Mike Huckabee?
