Communist Party in the U.S.

[Ovedya]

This looks like a good thread to remind everyone again about the "45 Goals of Communism," which was originally identified by Cleon Skousen in his book, "The Naked Communist":

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

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, policymaking 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.

Here is an interesting conundrum

There is nowhere in the Bible where GOD warns His children to look out for or worry about Communism, though there are definite warnings about the Great Whore who sits on seven hills, to whom the kings of the world pay their obescience, and who has the blood of all the martyrs on her hands

Communism was started to throw out the R.C. church from power, through the Russian orthodox church and their power over the Czarist empire, which was keeping the Russian peasants enslaved and starving

It was the church, as in Latin American countries today, who was keeping the workers in absolute poverty. Forcing them to pay, in cash, to get forgiveness for sins, to pray souls of family out of 'purgatory' and other such waffle

A reading of "Fifty Years in the Church of Rome" by Charles Chiniquy will expose much of this system

The original communist plan was to take back the land from the 'church', give it to the people; repossess the enormous wealth and holdings the 'church' had gained through her blackmail and deceits, and, supposedly return it to the people

Sadly, of course, power corrupts, and those who had taken control decided they liked it at the top and kept the money themselves

Communism is not the concern Christians face, but the dominance of religious systems, especially the papacy, as she subjugates the world through flatteries and

cunning interpretation of Scripture in attempts to authenticate her illegal claims of power

America was first settled by Christians fleeing religious persecution in Europe, etc., to establish a land where they could worship GOD according to the Bible, not man made creeds and dogma; free of the Roman Catholic pagan religious system persecution, wasn't it?

Don't worry about Communism, look at what has happened to America since the election of the first R.C president

Who did Bush and Gorbochev consult during the Gulf war? The pope, who runs the world, the vatican, that's who the Bible warns us to watch, the Beast, the great whore

Remember, it is not the R.C. laity addressed here, they are deceived, but it is the religious system which has her tentacles around the throats of all nations

What do you think the plan for the 'world church' is all about?

Domination. How can two walk together except they be agreed?

It is time for Christians to vote for GOD and demand the politicians, their elected servants, subject themselves to GOD'S Will

I will not claim to know the very reason the Communist Party

came to be, and I'm not going to turn this into a debate about

bashing RC church and or the guessing game as to whom the

bible is refering to as the Whore.

Plain and simple fact "Communism is a threat to Christians" even

if you don't see it, God and the Bible are under attack by this party

every day , now I know the Lord will prevail in this battle but it

is our duty as soldiers of the Lord to be on the offence alongside

Him.

God Bless!

I might agree that the Bolshevik Revolution was set to remove the Church from the lives of the Russian people, but Communism is much deeper than that one revolution, and the people behind and those who funded it go much much deeper than just the Russian People and their revolt against the church/Czars,. the church in Russia at the time was the Orthodox Church and It is my understanding that they did not recognize the Papal supremacy in the church. Unless I misunderstand what the Russian Orthodox Church was all about.
