Cleon Skousen, a former FBI agent
wrote “The Neked Communist,” which was published in 1958. He listed 45 areas in
which he believed Communist goals would applied to radically transform America.
A few years later, in 1963, Skousen’s list was entered into the U.S.
Congressional Record by Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. (D-FL).
Since then, Skousen’s warning has
been referred to numerous times, but apparently not heeded. Remarkably, his
predictions about changing American hearts and minds through transforming
public attitudes about social, economic, educational, military, and familial
roles while also using the media to propagate false and misinformation are
evident throughout every area of society in 2015 America.
In fact, Barack Obama’s “Hope and
Change” resembles most of what is described on this list. Perhaps he read it
and took it to heart. Regardless, it is an indictment of generations of failed
leadership both public and private, both individual and corporate, in America.
Below is a transcript of the
U.S. Congressional Record taken from Appendix, pp. A34-A35, published on
January 10, 1963.
“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, 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.
