ANOTHER LINK IN THE “FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE” THREAT BY HJS


ANOTHER LINK IN THE “FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE” THREAT

HJS COMMENTS: Before the infamous threat to change this country fundamentally, many Americans began to see a change in thought and behavior in this country. Look at the media; has it not changed? The media loved FDR back in the day, but was not in bed with him. The media was in love with the family of politicians from the mythical city of Camelot (somewhere in Massachusetts?), but they did not worship them (for good reason).
 
Even the wily Clinton could not escape some difficult questions. Did Clinton ever lie? Did he ever! FDR’s successor, Harry Truman, is said to have had the most fearsome weapon known to man, a weapon that can change nations from proud warriors to sheep.
 
The Democrats now have an even greater weapon that does the same thing, turning proud warriors to sheep, but without blowing down buildings.
 
It is a form of European Socialism with all of its bad attributes and none of its good ones. I must add to be fair that no one has ever been able to find the good ones.
 
The salesman is Obama, but the product causes decadence and blight.
 
No European nation embracing socialism has escaped major problems and setbacks by embracing socialism. Socialism does not build wealth; capitalism does that.
 
As our big businesses grow smaller and our smaller businesses disappear, whence come the critical innovation and ensuing wealth?
 
As this greatest nation more quickly than expected becomes a very large and unwieldy “banana republic”, ripe for UN plucking, look for even more corruption to spread not unlike the “Killer Algae” which has already reached California. A mighty web need not be weaved; we’ve been conditioned to be deceived.

WND Exclusive

HuffPo publishes threat to conservative site

'I've got friends and they've got friends ... enough to cause a computer meltdown'


Writing in the Huffington Post, a senior fellow at a George Soros-funded radical think tank with close ties to the Democratic Party seemingly threatened the Discover The Networks website.

Discover The Networks, launched by former radical turned conservative David Horowitz, is a central database that maps out left-wing agendas, activists and causes. “I’ve got friends, too – and they’ve got friends, and they’ve got friends, and they’ve got friends … enough to cause a computer meltdown at Discover The Networks,” wrote Richard Eskow, senior fellow at Campaign for America’s Future, or CAF.

The veiled threat was issued in a Huffington Post blog piece responding to a WND article reporting how the CAF had launched a new website urging politicians and activists to wage class warfare.

The new website, WageClassWar.org, also hailed what CAF called a new era in politics – the use of class warfare to win elections.

The WND article quoted from Discover The Networks about the ties of the Eskow’s CAF to so-called progressive Democrat politicians.

In his Huffington Post piece, Eskow also attacked WND as a “leading source for those tinfoil-hat ‘birther’ theories about President Obama.”

Democrat operatives launch class-warfare website

WageClassWar.org was launched two weeks ago by the CAF.

CAF’s co-director, Robert Borosage, explained the need for such a website.

“America’s growing diversity and its increasingly socially liberal attitudes played a big role in this election. But looking back, we are likely to see this as the first of the class warfare elections of our new Gilded Age of extreme inequality,” he wrote in a statement.

“More and more of our elections going forward will feature class warfare – only this time with the middle class fighting back. And candidates are going to have to be clear about which side they are on,” he wrote.

Continued Borosage: “In 2012, candidates who supported the economic interests of the many over the few won their elections. Populism was the voice, but economic opportunity was the message. The pundits may wring their hands, but in the future it won’t be values voters, angry white men or soccer moms that win elections. It will be class war.”

The website does not feature a mission statement and is unclear about exactly how the group will go about attempting to wage class warfare.

The site explains how Obama’s 2012 campaign utilized class warfare and set the stage for the deployment of such tactics in future elections.

“Obama’s campaign built its message on class war battles that broke out in the Republican primary, as challengers sought to bring down ‘the main from Bain,’ Mitt Romney,” notes the site.

“In the end, the keys to Obama’s reelection were his calls for raising the taxes of the wealthy and his support for reinvesting those revenues in education and jobs to rebuild the middle class and to protect programs like Medicare from cuts.”

The site hails how Obama repeatedly portrayed Romney as a “walking example of the out-of-touch elite, an opponent of the auto industry bailout that saved an entire manufacturing sector, and a 1 percenter who would jeopardize social programs, education, and Medicare in order to cut taxes on his rich friends.”

CAF writes that Obama’s reelection now sets the stage “for class warfare as a potent and necessary tool to promote rebuilding the economy from the bottom up, rather than perpetuate the right wing’s failed trickle-down policies.”

Occupy, Soros, Democratic Party

WND previously reported how CAF has partnered with Occupy.

CAF is funded by Soros’ Open Society Institute as well as by the Soros-funded Tides Center, which channels funding to hundreds of progressive and far-left groups.

Tides has been connected to the Occupy movement since its beginning.

Another grantee of Tides is Adbusters magazine, which is reported to have come up with the Occupy Wall Street idea after “Arab Spring” protests toppled governments in Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. The Adbusters website serves as a central hub for Occupy’s planning.

MoveOn.org, which has joined Occupy, is funded by Tides. CAF’s board of directors includes MoveOn.org President Eli Pariser.

CAF’s co-founder and director Roger Hickey, who also co-founded the Soros-funded Economic Policy Institute, was reportedly heavily involved in crafting the foundations for President Obama’s health-care law.

CAF campaigns for universal health care, immigration reform and progressive education initiatives.

CAF is deeply tied to progressive politicians from the Democratic Party, many of whom routinely are featured at CAF events.

Just last year, Nancy Pelosi was the featured speaker at CAF’s “America’s Future Now” conference in Washington, D.C.

In 2008, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., was honored at CAF’s annual dinner for her “advocacy in Congress,” noted Discover the Networks.
