- excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
- 1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
- 2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
- 3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
- 4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
- 5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
- 6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
- 7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
- 8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
- 9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
- 10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
- 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.)
- 12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
- 13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
- 14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
- 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
- 16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
- 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.
- 18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
- 19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
- 20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
- 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
- 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."
- 23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
- 24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
- 25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
- 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
- 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."
- 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."
- 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.
- 30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
- 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.
- 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
- 33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
- 34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
- 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
- 36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
- 37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
- 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].
- 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
- 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
- 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.
- 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.
- 43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
- 44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
- 45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

The Communist Goals In America
What oath? (or Why Islam Sucks part 231)
http://anti-strib.blogspot.com/
Many westerners were shocked to find out that the latest set of jihadist homicide bombers were doctors, forgetting (for the moment) that Osama bin Laden's number 2 in command is himself a doctor! Considering that the conventional wisdom is that the jihadists actions are caused by extreme poverty, the fact that a well to do doctor would be a jihadist just does not fit into the apologists neat little compartments of who is wrong and who is "righteous" in this particular fight. However a little history into the jihadist movement shows that this conventional wisdom is neither conventional or wise. Some quotes to consider.
"Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!
There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”
“Islam grew with blood . . . . The great prophet of Islam in one hand carried the Koran and in the other a sword . . . . Islam is a religion of blood for the infidels but a religion of guidance for other people.”
---Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini."
But, but, but the apologists sputter - what about their Hypocratic Oath (First do no harm). The Islamic text Suhih Bukhari (a book that is a study guide for the Sunnah) offers this insight into the violation of said oath.
"By Allah, and Allah willing, if I take an oath and later find something else better than that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath” Sahih Bukhari 7:67:427. "
This statement sums up the modern practice of "taqiyya" which literally means concealing or guarding. It is used in a number of ways to protect ones honor or in doing business. The jihadists use the practice of taqiyya to justify what the doctors did (in attempting to violate their hypocratic oath). To the jihadists, any falsehood told in the carrying out of jihad is not only acceptable, they believe that it is sanctioned by the Koran! This can include lying under oath (even if sworn on the Koran) or even denying ones faith in Allah - provided that in doing so you are actually furthering Allah's work.
The practice of taqiyya dates back to the time of the Beoduins and Arab tribalism. It is a practice that is not limited to Islam though. One defination that I read of taqiyya included the phrase "deceptive triangulation". Hmmmmm that sounds like a few politicians I know...but I digress.
Taqiyya is one of the many cultural differences (between Islam and the West) that is making the greater Global War on Terrorism so difficult to fight and why we must not only be more patient than the jihadists - we have to put on our best "poker faces". We have to be able to recognize taqiyya when we are presented with it and react accordingly. Hopefully our leaders are willing to do so, but given what I have seen so far, I don't think that is going to happen.

“Remember that a government big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take away everything you have."--Barry Goldwater
If we give the government the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.” —Ronald Reagan
