For those who really want to know the enemy...I would suggest reading some excerpts from Saul Alinskys book Rules for Radicals these are very telling and illuminating when you line them up against the tactics used by the PC Police (media and lefties in general) which is ridicule everything and everybody who believe in what has been previously established to be proven successful. These are tips on how to bring about Rot and Decomposition within a society...BTW, This guy (Alinsky) is barry and killarys mentor...they are where they are today as a result of utilizing these diabolical tactics (and many others referenced in his book)....Inquiring minds want to know.............. Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, Vintage Books, New York, 1989...From the moment the organizer enters a community he lives, dreams... only one thing and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army. Until he has developed that mass power base, he confronts no major issues.... Until he has those means and power instruments, his tactics are very different from power tactics. Therefore, every move revolves around one central point: how many recruits will this bring into the organization, whether by means of local organizations, churches, service groups, labor Unions, corner gangs, or as individuals. Change comes from power, and power comes from organization. p.113 The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displace by new patterns.... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new. p.116 Compare with this excerpts from “Group Decision and Social Change” by Kurt Lewin: A change toward a higher level of group performance is frequently short lived: after a “shot in the arm”, group life soon returns to the previous level. This indicates that it does not suffice to define the objective of a planned change in group performance as the reaching of a different level. Permanency of the new level, or permanency for a desired period, should be included in the objective. A successful change includes therefore three aspects: UNFREEZING (if necessary) the present level... MOVING to the new level . . . and FREEZING group life on the new level. An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent... He must create a mechanism that can drain off the underlying guilt for having accepted the previous situation for so long a time. Out of this mechanism, a new community organization arises.... The job then is getting the people to move, to act, to participate; in short, to develop and harness the necessary power to effectively conflict with the prevailing patterns and change them. When those prominent in the status quo turn and label you an agitator they are completely correct, for that is, in one word, your function—to agitate to the point of conflict. p.117 Process tells us how. Purpose tells us why. But in reality, it is academic to draw a line between them, they are part of a continuum.... Process is really purpose. p.122 7. Tactics Tactics are those conscious deliberate acts by which human beings live with each other and deal with the world around them. ... Here our concern is with the tactic of taking; how the Have-Nots can take power away from the Haves. p.126 Always remember the first rule of power tactics (pps.127-134): 1. Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have. 2. Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat.... [and] the collapse of communication. 3. Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) 4. Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity. 5. Ridicule is mans most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage. 6. A good tactic is one your people enjoy. 7. A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time.... 8. Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose. 9. The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. 10. The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign. 11. If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside... every positive has its negative. 12. The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and frozen.... ...any target can always say, Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well? When your freeze the target, you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the others come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target... One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other. (pps.127-134)
