HISTORIAN TIES DEMS TO
MARXIST PLAN TO COLLAPSE U.S. FROM INSIDE, Cites
ominous results of Obama's '5 days away from fundamentally transforming
America'. WND, 9/6/17
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” declared Barack Obama during a campaign stop on Oct. 30, 2008, five days before the election that would make him the most powerful man in the world.
The concept of “fundamental
transformation” has been discussed vigorously since then, especially in light
of the many sweeping changes Obama brought to the country over his eight years
in office.
Historian Charles Sasser sees
Obama’s “fundamental transformation” in the context of an older and more
sinister plan articulated by a pair of Marxist activists nearly 50 years ago.
“What we’re seeing now is this
fundamental transformation, and it goes all the way back to [Herbert] Marcuse,”
Sasser said during a recent appearance on the “Prophecy Hour” radio program.
“In the 1960s when he [Marcuse] was talking about the ‘long march through
the institutions,’ this is what Obama was talking about – the fundamental
transformation of America.”
The “long march through the
institutions” was coined by student activist Rudi Dutschke in the late 1960s to
describe his strategy for bringing about the conditions for a Marxist
revolution in the United States.
The plan was for Marxists to
infiltrate all of America’s major institutions – politics, the news media, the
education system, the churches, the entertainment industry – and slowly subvert
those institutions from within, thereby subverting America.
Marcuse, a prominent Marxist
intellectual associated with the Frankfurt School, agreed with Dutschke’s
strategy and brought it to wider attention in his 1972 book “Counterrevolution
and Revolt.”
Sasser, author of the brand new
book “Crushing
the Collective: The Last Chance to Keep America Free and Self-Governing,” pointed out Hillary Clinton has expressed shades of
this idea as well. During a 2015 speech, the soon-to-be Democratic presidential
nominee declared, “Deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural
biases have to be changed.”
The imposition of political
correctness is an integral part of this long march through the institutions,
according to Sasser. Viewed from this perspective, the march is making
excellent progress in certain areas.
“Let’s look at our education,”
Sasser said. “We’ve got safe spaces; we’ve got all these people who refuse
to listen to anyone
who has an opinion different from their own. They will riot, break windows,
everything else to keep people from free speech.” The Marxists are also slowly
but surely undermining Christianity, according to Sasser.
“In 2012, when Obama was nominated
for a second term, the Democratic National Committee took God out of their
platform, and when someone proposed that they put God back in the platform, the
entire stadium [at the Democratic National Convention] booed the idea of
putting God in the platform,” he recalled.
“Now, look a few months later: There
was a prayer at an abortion rally, and they prayed to God for God to help on
abortions.”
The radical leftists are subverting
the political arena as well. In “Crushing
the Collective” Sasser reveals a long list of
organizations through which “socialist and authoritarian radicals” are working
to undermine America.
This includes Socialist
International, whose leadership includes or has included Democratic Party
figures such as Howard Dean, Madeleine Albright and Tom Daschle.
It includes the Congressional
Progressive Caucus, founded by admitted socialist Bernie Sanders. The CPC included
83 Democratic House members in 2010.
Sasser also singles out the Institute
for Policy Studies, an old and influential far-left think tank whose membership
has included many current and former congressmen, including Leon Panetta,
Obama’s defense secretary and CIA director. “Socialist International, the
Progressive Party – look at the Progressive Party a little closer,” Sasser
urged the “Prophecy Hour” audience. “Progressive Democrats of America, the
Congressional Progressive Caucus – look at how many of those people in there
are socialists and Marxists. Nobody wants to do that because it’s politically
incorrect to say anything about it.”
So, what can Americans do to beat
back the long Marxist march? Sasser is not optimistic; he does not believe
conservatives can ever take back the cultural institutions now that those
institutions have succumbed to the left. Nor does he believe a single
American president can stop the long march. Not even Ronald Reagan could stop
it.
“Reagan was successful in what he
did, but then as soon as he was gone, the march through the institutions
continued, and I think we’re going to see the same thing now,” Sasser
commented. He noted the radical left is stronger than ever, and they seem to
sense that.
“Obama said, ‘Now is our time.'”
Sasser said. “Yes, now is their time. They think that they have the upper hand,
that they can make America socialist, and I think they’re going to do that
because we don’t fight back. We’re afraid to say anything because of political
correctness.”
Sasser, who has spent much of his
life studying history, knows societies that fall as far into the clutches of
collectivism as the U.S. has do not bounce back well. They may survive, but in
a diminished form. Italy is still around, for example, but it is nothing like
the Roman Empire. Iran is a regional power, but it is not as prestigious as the
great Persian empires of the past.
“I want to believe that Trump may be
another Reagan, that we may have a chance,” he said. “But then I look at the
institutions. Like Newt Gingrich said, once they own the cultural institutions,
they’re impossible to regain, and if they own all of the institutions,
including many of our churches right now, if they do that we can’t retake them
if we can’t crush this idea of the collective.”
