Saul Alinsky

Saul David Alinsky is considered to be the founder of modern American community organizing movement. He is also noted for his books: Rules for Radicals and Reveille for Radicals. He attended the University of Chicago. He died on June 12, 1972 in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.

Hillary Clinton did her thesis on Alinsky's writings, and Barack Obama is an avid Alinsky disciple & fan as suggested in his (Obama's) book.

According to Alinsky, there are eight areas of control required to create a socialistic state. They are:

1) Healthcare: control healthcare and one can easily control people;

2) Poverty: increase the poverty level as high as possible since poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if the government provides their basic needs;

3) Debt: increase the national debt to an unsustainable level to justify increasing taxes, and which will produce more poverty;

4) Gun ownership: control by removing the public's ability to defend themselves from the government and other predators, and by so doing, enable the creation of a police state;

5) Welfare: control every basic human need -- food, housing, and Income;

6) Education: control what children learn in school and what people listen to and read;

7) Religion: ban and eliminate belief in God to create a "God-less" society;

8) Class Warfare: create and promote division between groups, e.g. the wealthy vs. the poor, the left wing vs. the right wing, etc.

Alinsky patterned his ideas after Lenin's original communistic control scheme, and Stalin described converts to Communism/Socialism as "useful idiots", who cause the destruction of a nation after they achieve position and power.

Presently, all of Alinsky's eight control areas listed above are being used in the U.S.A. by the current administration.
