Speaking of History...
Way back in 1958 a fella named W. Cleon Skousen wrote a book called the Naked Communist. In that book he stated 45 declared goals for the communist takeover of America. I haven't read the book but I have read the stated goals. Lets have a look at some of them and see how they've done so far. Please bear in mind that terms "America" or "US" can be ment to mean "North America" or can be replaced with "Canada" and still have the same effect. Oh, and because we're nice Canadians lets call them "Socialists" instead of "Communists".
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. - Canadian Military neutered, check.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N. - UN lets anyone in, check
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) - UN seen as governing world body, check.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. - All but the Boy Scout's oath removed, check.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. - US Dems, Canadian NDP and Libs, check.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. - Courts have ultimate power, check.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. - Schools completely co-opted, check.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers. - Student newspapers co-opted, check.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. - Press co-opted with exception of some small regional publications, check.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. - Control achieved, check.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." - Check, check and tripple check.
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art." - How do you think they managed #22, Check!
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. - They're still fighting for the right to view kiddie porn but for all intents and purposes, check.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. - Larry Flint, Check.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." - Send in Will and Grace and push for SSM, Check!
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch." - Scorn new pope and tell the people that Jesus was gay, check.
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." - School prayer eliminated, check.
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. - Work in US is ongoing. Canadian Bill of Rights replaced with socialist Charter of Rights and Freedoms, check.
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. - Very little Canadian history taught in schools, check.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. - Social Service Agencies operate with impunity, check.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. - Control is absolute, check.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. - See 32 above. Ensure populace is on either valume or prozac. Ensure children are fed ritalin, check.
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. - Too dificult. Goal changed to use hate laws to gain coercive control over those who oppose socialist goals, check!
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. - Look at the Stats! Check!
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. - Prosecute parents for taking the kids X Box away. Put them in foster care, check.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems. - Gain widespread support of terrorism and social activism, check.
Those goals were written almost 50 years ago. Well over 50% have been acheived. The Liberal Party of Canada has allowed it to happen. Endorsed it.
