The left gets the band back together for 2016, Protesting mobs in the streets is an
Alinsky-era rerun, By Monica
Crowley - The Washington Times, Wednesday, March 16, 2016
The
radical left will never tolerate a disruption to its revolution to
“fundamentally transform the nation.” When leftists detect pushback that
threatens its grand project, they attack. And now, following their successfully
orchestrated assaults on the Tea Party movement, Mitt Romney’s 2012 candidacy
and conservative principles more generally, they are putting the band back
together for another national tour. This
is the essence of the “protests” surrounding Donald Trump’s campaign, with other, more dangerous
ones to follow.
Gathered
at the site of a recent Trump campaign rally in Chicago
were MoveOn, the group financed by leftist billionaire George Soros, Black
Lives Matter, sundry socialists and Muslim activists, remnants of the most
recent granddaddy of leftist mob activism, Occupy Wall Street, and the
unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. It’s the old Saul Alinsky crew,
disciples of his leftist bible “Rules for Radicals,” looking rested and ready
to wreak havoc on yet another presidential election cycle.
The
leftists must kill the counterrevolution as symbolized by Mr. Trump. This means using any and all tactics,
including the heckler’s veto: mobilize the mob, deploy it as a weapon, and then
use the threat of future violence to shut down events and smother dissent (as
they did successfully with Mr. Trump’s Chicago
event). They then blamed Mr. Trump’s policies and rhetoric for creating a
hostile environment in which clashes were inevitable.
This
is not about Mr. Trump or what he says or does. It’s not about
the GOP. This is straight out of the Alinsky playbook: create chaos, blame the
victim, stop free speech and advance progressiveism. It was particularly
pathetic to see some of Mr. Trump’s rivals and other conservatives blame
him as well. Have they learned nothing over the past eight years? Useful idiots
all.
This
is the left. This is what they do. Note that Mr. Obama, who regularly butts
into even the most minor controversies, was silent for nearly a full day before
commenting on the Chicago ruckus. This is no surprise. These are
his community organizers. He eventually tsk-tsked Mr. Trump and his supporters, as did Hillary
Clinton; again, no surprise given that the young Mr. Obama was inspired by
Alinsky and the young Mrs. Clinton studied with the man himself.
What
happened in Chicago last week is the same leftist
revolution that’s been roiling America for decades. The leftists who carried
out that “protest” are the same ones who were last seen in 2011 and 2012 as
Occupy Wall Street. Recall that the purpose of those “protests” was to provide
the Obama re-election effort with the handy theme of income inequality and
economic justice, which lo and behold, is the Democrats’ theme this year, too.
What a coincidence.
Five
years ago, Service Employees International Union and other big unions (with
financial backing from Mr. Soros) planned Occupy Wall Street months in advance
and got groups like the socialist Working Families Party to pay local community
organizers to field people for the “protests”.
One
of the original agitators behind that movement, Mr. Ayers launched tutorial
sessions for the kids in the streets. He inspired them with the same words he
had used in the early 1970s: “Actions create facts, and facts are essential,”
he told them. “Every movement is improbable until it happens; after the fact it
so clearly was inevitable.” Bill Ayers, master of wagging the dog.
At
the time, many wondered why the protesters seemed to lack a coherent message.
The first step was to get the foot soldiers — college students, aging hippies,
socialists, rank-and-file union members — riled up. It didn’t matter what the
message or cause was, at least not early on. The point was to get the leftist
mob acting first. Having invested so much in acting, the mob would then be
quick to accept any justification the leftist masters supplied.
And
so it was. At first, very few of the Occupy protesters could articulate why
they were there. As time went on, they became a bit clearer: Socialism: yay!
The banks: boo! And as intended, they carried that energy into protesting,
organizing campaigning and voting in 2012.
Organize
the useful idiots, identify and amplify grievances, pit group against group,
stoke class warfare by hitting the rich and telling others they are entitled to
more of what has been robbed from them, manufacture bedlam and then use it to
advance their agenda: This has been Mr. Obama’s shtick from his earliest days
in Chicago to the White House.
And
that’s why all of this is so familiar. The “protests” in Chicago
follow the same pattern — leftist generals send troops unaware of what they’re
protesting into the streets to create chaos and silence those who oppose them.
It didn’t start with Mr. Trump and won’t end with him. His campaign is
merely the current pretext for the latest battle of a revolution that seeks
nothing short of the destruction of the American democratic and capitalist
system.
At
least Mr. Trump is resisting their forces. That’s more than
we can say for many others in his own party.
