Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

 

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

[From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen]

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.

HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO DISMANTLE A NATION?

by One Pissed-off Vietnam Vet

(Aug. 3, 2011) — Mistakes? Are you kidding me?  The word “mistake” is now the politically-correct definition of “grievous felonious mortal failure”? Whatever the bum, meaning, of course, our de facto “Scorch America” president, signed into law will be rendered null and void when he is finally hand-and-ankle-shackled, in what is now infamously known as the “LTC Terry Lakin Shuffle,” out of the White House.

Here’s an accounting joke: boss is interviewing for an accountant, calls the first one in to be questioned.  The boss says, “Okay, now tell me, what’s two plus two?” “Why,” the applicant answers, “Four!” with a big smile.  The boss calls “Next!” He asks the same question to the next guy, who jumps up, lowers the blinds, goes and locks the door, comes back to the chair, leans over, and whispers, “Whatever you want it to be.”  And that, everyone, is the true story of the birth of the Federal Reserve Bank. The American people have been swindled for far too long to endure any more of this bogus “National Debt.”  It doesn’t exist; it’s nothing more than a simple scam to gouge your money out of your pocket. It’s not make-believe money, however; it’s real money that’s been lining the pockets of crooked judges and politicians for almost a hundred years..

There are no comparisons with the Democratic Party of JFK with the Democratic Party of today, save the name.  Okay, fine; if the Democrats of today want to be associated with those of yesterday, then all I’ve got to say is prove it, prove it to the American people that you can make this a better America. How? Easy; before JFK was gunned down, he signed Executive Order #11110. I say put it back on the table, bring JFK’s legacy alive. Put up or shut up.

I don’t cotton to the idea of the United States selling any of its assets to foreigners, and that includes our Chinese friends. Okay, so we allowed the Chinese to get, not a toe, nor a foot, but a whole knee into our economic system, but there’s an easy, fair, and equitable solution: tariff imported Chinese goods the exact amount they tariff our exported goods, which should apply to all of our trading partners, by the way. Competition and innovation are admirable traits, but let’s keep the playing field fair, everyone. Slave and child labor is cheating; there’s no other term for it. Well, actually there is: immoral. That’s right, we’ll pay back the Chinese from the money we collect from placing tariffs on their goods.

NEWS! America is not an entitlement society. Now, I know some of you may disagree, but hear me out. First off, just because people got to sit around collecting money from their fellow taxpayers, or rather, stealing money from those of us who earn it does not mean that they get to do it anymore: the rules have been changed. Bring back the draft; no deferments, sorry. Even the most die-hard conscientious objector certainly can have no qualms about being a school crossing guard, or, for that matter, a hall monitor for first graders. Meaning, of course, that everyone can contribute something to his country. Reinstitute the WPA. Clean up the trash, bury power and communication lines, revitalize our railroads. Buy their ticket to VA healthcare, too.

With a major reduction in what some call the Judiciary System and others call the “Revolving Door Justice” system, no matter what, the end result will be a major reduction in law enforcement. It’s easy. Stop the repeat offenders; then you eliminate half the problem.  Deport illegals, another 25%. A piece of cake. A world where there is no such animal as a “repeat child molester.”  With me? Get the picture? Institute a nationwide drug program; it’s either that or cold turkey in jail. No parole boards because there will be no parole. Our prison system will be modeled after the prison system in Japan. End of story.

I’d like to say a few words about a subject a great number of Americans don’t care about and don’t even want to think about, but I’m going to say it anyway: Patriotism. Thanks to my time in the U.S. Military, I got to travel to many different countries throughout the world, from Southeast Asia to the Mediterranean and Europe, and I came away from that experience with a new-found respect for America that I hadn’t had before. In every country to which I traveled, and there are more than 20, I always met at least one person who expressed admiration and the hope that someday they would get to experience the American dream, even if in their own homeland. Our good fortune was only possible  through the efforts of patriots who fought and died for us; that’s right, for us.  Are we not a following generation from those who fought in the Revolutionary War? We are now in a life-and-death struggle between the Constitution and Islam. It behooves all Americans to reflect on their freedoms, freedoms so dearly won, yet so easily lost.

We have Sharia Law creeping into the American way of life. It starts out by prayers in the public schools and from there spreads its insidious hate for all things non-Islam, backed by the full power of Homeland Security, doing its best to destroy America as per direct orders from the White House. Such actions have included removing the Pledge of Allegiance from schools and courtrooms, removing prayers from high school football games, listing Patriots as Traitors, and not showing Old Glory for fear of “offending someone.” Just remember this: it was wrong to import Muslims into the United States, and it will be right to deport each and every one of them.
