45 Declared Goals from Greg Swank
You are about to read a list of 45
goals that found their way down the halls of our great Capitol back in 1963. As
you read this, 39 years later, you should be shocked by the events that have
played themselves out. I first ran across this list 3 years ago but was unable
to attain a copy and it has bothered me ever since. Recently, Jeff Rense posted
it on his site and I would like to thank him for doing so. http://www.rense.com
Communist Goals (1963) Congressional
Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 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]
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.
Note by Webmaster: The Congressional
Record back this far has not be digitized and posted on the Internet.
It will probably be available at
your nearest library that is a federal repository. Call them and ask them. Your
college library is probably a repository. This is an excellent source of
government records. Another source are your Congress Critters. They should be
more than happy to help you in this matter. You will find the Ten Planks of the
Communist Manifesto interesting at this point.

1963- The Year That Changed America By Greg Swank
12-4-2
Over the years, I have shared in
debates and discussions regarding the current state of affairs in the U.S., and
the changing social climate of this great nation. Since the
"baby-boomer" generation, society and its culture have become
noticeably different than the way it was 50 years ago. From the late 50's to
the 70's a series of events took place contributing to the way we are currently
living. However, like anything else, there has to be a starting point at which
the wheels are put into motion. Sometimes it can be a single event, such as
war, but more often, it is a series of events, some intentional, some planned,
others unpredictable. There is always a pivotal point when things begin to change.
I believe that time was 1963.
For my generation, some of the
following will certainly stir old memories. If you born later, this may serve
as a brief history lesson into the times your parents traveled through.
By 1963 television was the leading sources
of entertainment. The public enjoyed a different type of programming back then.
Lessons on life could be viewed weekly on "Leave it to Beaver" or
"My Three Sons." There were hero's back then that never drew blood,
"The Lone Ranger" and "The Adventures of Superman." Cartoon
series evolved, such as, "The Flintstones" and "The
Jetsons" without messages of empowering the children, using vulgarities or
demeaning parental guidance. Family's could spend a weekend evening watching
"Ed Sullivan," "Bonanza" or "Gunsmoke." For those
who enjoyed thrill and suspense, we were blessed with "Alfred Hitchcock
Presents" and the "Twilight Zone." 'My Favorite Martian,"
"Ozzie and Harriet," "Donna Reed" and "Sea Hunt"
also kept viewers entertained weekly.
Movie theaters were not multiplex
units with 15 screens, rather, one single, giant big screen with adequate sound
and hard seats without springs. "Tom Jones" had won the Academy award
for best picture. "How The West Was Won," "Cleopatra,"
"Lily of the Fields," "The Great Escape," "The
Birds," and "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" were all box
office hits.
By years end, "The
Beatles" had played for the British Royal Family and were laying the
groundwork to conquer the U.S. the following year. Eric Clapton began his
journey to fame with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Jim McCarty and their band,
"The Yardbirds." Out on the west coast the surf was beginning to
rock'n'roll with "The Beach Boys" and their first song to reach the
top ten list, "Surfin' U.S.A."
"Joys of Jell-O" recipes
for quivering florescent foodstuff hit the stores. U.S. Postal rates went up to
five cents for the first ounce. AT&T introduced touch-tone telephones. The
Yankees played in the World Series again; but lost to the Dodgers in four
straight. The government and NASA began the Apollo program.
This is just a brief snapshot of
some things that were going on back in 1963. Remember?
While some of these events played an
important role in the direction of change that affect us today, many of them
were lost to much greater, more political events, that I believe put everything
into motion.
On January 10, 1963, the House of
Representative and later the Senate began reviewing a document entitled
"Communist Goals for Taking Over America." It contained an agenda of
45 separate issues that, in hindsight was quite shocking back then and equally
shocking today. Here, in part, are some key points listed in that document.
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.
8. Set up East and West Germany as
separate states.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only
hope for mankind.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
16. Use technical decisions of the
courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities
violate civil rights.
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. 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."
40. Discredit the family as an
institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
44. Internationalize the Panama
Canal.

Now, I am not saying that the U.S.
is under some kind of Communist control, but what I do find frightening, is of
the 45 issues listed, nearly all of them have come to pass. Remember this was
in January 1963.
In 1963 the news media showed women
burning their bras as the women's liberation movement took off with the
publishing of "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan. Martin Luther
King was jailed in April and civil unrest was being brought to the forefront.
On August 28th the media brought us live coverage of the march on Washington
and Dr. Kings famous "I had a dream" speech. The Cuban missile crisis
found its way in to our homes and our nation was gearing up for conflict.
By September of 1963 we had lost
some very influential people, Pope John XXIII, Robert Frost, and country legend
Patsy Cline, to name a few. In the early hours of November 22nd we learned of
the quiet passing of C.S. Lewis and hours later we were brought to our knees
when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and our nation mourned.
So you see, while long since
forgotten, 1963 could very well have been, one of the most important years
since our founding fathers provided us with the Constitution of the United
States. Which brings me to one final and extremely important decision that was
made during this most provocative year.
On June 17, 1963 the U.S. Supreme
Court concluded that any Bible reciting or prayer, in public schools, was
deemed unconstitutional.
While American's have endured great
prosperity over the past 40 years we have also lost our moral compass and
direction. In reviewing the research, data supports 1963 as a focal point,
demonstrating a downward slope in our moral and social decline through 2001.
Certainly, one would have to agree
that all of these events have had a profound impact on the way our current
social structure has been changed. Personally, if I had to choose one specific
event that has demonstrated the demoralization of our country, it would have to
be the decision of the U.S Supreme Court in June of 1963.
But there is always
"hope." As always, I welcome your comments and can easily be reached.
