Fannie Mae, Freddie Mack Train Wreck! Alinsky, ACORN, Obama, Cloward and Piven connection?

The Oz Express rear-ended the Wonderland Limited en route to Camelot, as the Democrat-controlled Senate porked up the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Bailout. We have reports of knights, dragons, Munchkins, cowardly lions, white rabbits, mad hatters, and smiling Cheshire cats roaming the countryside. Rumors of Alinsky, ACORN, Ayers, and Obama have surfaced in connection with this debacle. Cloward and Piven Plan involvement suspected. SOMEBODY SAVE US!
About a week after the House Republicans stripped pork for ACORN out their version of the Bailout Bill, the U.S. Senate passed a porky bill of its own. Guess What! Sen Dem Leadership praised Barney Frank and Chris Dodd for their work on the Bailout. Frank told us a few years ago that Fannie and Freddy were healthy and necessary to helping the economically disadvantaged achieve the American dream of home ownership. Dodd received the most money from Fannie and Freddy. Barack “Call Me if You Need Me” Obama came in second in the Fan and Fred dialing for dollars Senate marathon, in spite of only four years experience as a junior senator in that august body. Check out two of Fannie Mae CEO’s with reported ties to the Obama campaign.
Confused? You should be. Or rather, you are supposed to be confused, scared to death, and desperate for “CHANGE.”
In my opinion, the Fannie and Freddie crisis and bailout is consistent with a Liberal desire to nationalize the housing market and banking industry and to drive the American People into voting for any “CHANGE.”
Paranoid? Insane? Certifiable? Crazy as a loon? Nutty? Bats? Indulge me for a few minutes in a delusion, or possibly just a bad dream.
Saul Alinsky(1909-1972) wrote Reveille for Radicals and Rules for Radicals, which basically encouraged Socialists to subvert capitalism by “becoming” the system. Alinsky thought of the Class Struggle in terms of war and wrote about defeating the “enemy.” Alinsky ingratiated himself with Chicago crime bosses and the very wealthy. (Horowitz, David, Poe Richard, The Shadow Party, Nelson Current, Nashville, Tenn, 2006, pages 56-60.)
Both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama were students of Alinsky, who pushed the doctrine of gradual socialist revolution through the use of Middle Class activists and organizers.
ACORN plays a fourfold role in our train wreck. (Whoa! The Red Queen is in a rage. Hold on to your head!)
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has been instrumental in promoting loans to people who could not afford to repay them. According to Newt Gingrich, who appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s show on 09-3-08, and Ken Blackwell, who appeared on Hannity and Colmes immediately after, Barack Obama trained ACORN personnel in the Alinsky Method of revolution and legally represented the group. ACORN, as a community organizing group, has been implicated in voter fraud in numerous states. (discoverthe networks.org provides more information, as does The Shadow Party on pages 39-44, 102-103, 122-126, 170, 172, 193 and 209.)
Finally, ACORN was to have been the beneficiary of housing money in the original Democrat House version of the Fan/Fred Bailout Bill. House Republicans managed to strip this particular side of self-serving pork from the bill, before it finally stalled. (Hey! There goes another flying monkey! I thnk he’s got Toto.)
Cloward and Piven were Socialist activists, who apparently believed that the American Republic’s welfare system was designed to placate the masses and prevent or slow the “natural” progression of the society toward revolution and SOCIALISM. Cloward and Piven conceived an idea to wreck the New York City Welfare System by flooding the rolls with thousands of new applicants and overwhelming existing resources. When the system could not respond to the influx, community organizers fomented civil unrest. The purpose of the exercise was to force the Federal Government to give more taxpayer money to the “poor, downtrodden” clients of ACORN through ACORN. (Shadow Party, pages 106,108,110, 114-115, 124 and 127) (Duck! Out-of-control witch on a broom. No wait! It’s a Warlock! Where did he come from?)
Alinsky, ACORN, Obama, Cloward, and Piven appear to be associated with a radical scheme that resulted in the housing meltdown and the Fan/Fred crisis. More to follow.
Here’s an interesting thought. Talk to an “average” citizen who doesn’t follow politics. This person probably gets his or her information from ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, or the Denver Post, etc. Ask this man or woman about Alinsky, ACORN, or Cloward/Piven. If he/she is unfamiliar with the names, attempt to educate him or her. He or she will think you are crazy. (Don’t you love politically correct English?
He or she didn’t hear or see any stories about these interesting folks from the Left-wing-controlled Mainstream Media news sources. “If I didn’t see it, it must not exist. If it happened, THEY would have told me.” (How much have YOU heard from the Mainstream Media about the Obama Campaign’s effort to stop the NRA from running ads in Pennsylvania about Obama’s record on guns?) (See my last post.) The man behind the curtain is not the Wizard of Oz. It might be the Cheshire Cat. All we can see is the smile.
Let’s look at the Cloward/Pivin Model as it might apply to gun control. Liberals passed regulations that made it hard, if not impossible, for honest citizens to defend themselves using firearms, e.g., Chicago, D.C., San Francisco, New York City. Criminals and spree-killer psychopaths take advantage of the Liberals’ “gun free,” criminal-safe, free-fire zones to shoot up schools, universities, shopping malls, and entire inner cities. (See my posts on Chicago under the Category “Gun Law Failures.”)
Liberals then shout “The system is broken! We must have more gun control!” Criminals and spree-killer psychopaths take advantage… And, so it goes. The Liberals’ goal is apparently SOCIALISM and total control of the “mindless,” disarmed and helpless proletariat by the Liberal Elite.
Look at Public Education. Look at the War on Terror. Every time the Left sees a fire that could damage the American Republic, they seem to reach for a gasoline can. We have economic problems. Obama wants to raise taxes. (Oh! Here comes the Camelot Crew again. THEY will save us. Watch out for the hooves of their chargers! Hey! Take it easy with that lance! The bad guys are over there!)
Peter Boyles on his Denver talk show this week had two former Immigration (ICE) agents on the air. They said that around 25,000 illegal aliens had purchased homes in the Denver Metro Area with false documents, and that about 100,000 illegals had purchased homes in Colorado. Multiply that number by Obama’s 57 states (sic) and it gives you some idea of how the Left’s policy of “Sanctuary Cities” has greased the rails, contributing to the train wreck and the increased presence of mock turtles and talking walruses in American society.
Remember that ACORN, the community organizer organization is also one of the biggest opponents of requiring identification at polling places. ACORN likes mail-in ballots. Why? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because fraudulent voting by mail is more convenient?
I probably don’t have to remind you that the Chicago Democrat Machine, of which Barack Obama is a graduate, could be considered “the Gold Standard” for political corruption in the U.S., as well as making Chicago almost as dangerous a place as Iraq. (See my Chicago post under “Gun Law Failures.”)
Cutting to the chase, it looks to me like the Fannie/Freddie Fable is simply another example of the Cloward/Piven Strategy applied to the housing market. The Democrats, who blocked John McCain’s attempt to reform Fan and Fred in 2005, helped flood the system with impossible loans. Radical Dems blame the GOP; get their Mainstream Media cohorts to panic the American People; and stampede the admittedly weak Bush White House, the U.S. House, and the Senate to “Do something!”
“Progressives” thereby socialize a good chunk of the housing sector in the U.S. and make the people desperate for CHANGE. Call me crazy, but if a group of people make a plan, create an organization to carry out the plan, and the goals of the plan are achieved; are we supposed to believe that the situation developed on its own? Are we really as stupid, bitter, and clingy as the Left seems to think we are?
Are we to believe that the Fan/Fred Crisis conveniently (for the Dems) came to a head on the eve of an election where the most radical member of the U.S. Senate, with ties to Alinsky and Acorn happens to be running for President? Is this yet another coincidental “trout in the milk?” For a much clearer exposition than mine of this whole affair, minus the Second Amendment information, please go to this link on American Thinker.com. E-mail this one to everyone you know.
Remember Obama’s corporate board ties to former terrorist Ayers and Obama’s presence on the board of the anti-gun Joyce Foundation. Read one book, before you vote. Read the Shadow Party. The book focuses on Hillary Rodam Clinton’s affiliation with billionaire George Saros and the association of organizations known as the Shadow Party. Barack Obama is obviously the new darling of the Shadow Party, since he seems to be more radical than Clinton.
In the interest of full disclosure, John McCain comes in for his share of criticism in the book by Horowitz and Poe. “Campaign Finance Reform” was not a good idea in my considered opinion. I also have some bones to pick with McCain over his policies and actions regarding the individual right of American Citizens to self-defense against crime and tyranny. Having said that, I agree with McCain on about 80% of his gun policies. I agree with virtually none of Barack Obama’s views on firearms or just about anything else.
FDR said in effect that nothing happens by accident in politics. Look! There’s a Munchkin chasing the white rabbit! Many thanks to the Freeper or Town Hall commenter who reminded me of Cloward/Piven.
As imperfect as they are, the Republicans are the only hope we have of stopping the Far Left in this election. Vote your gun rights. Vote for freedom! Spread the word! The truth may yet keep us free!

I agree with this article, but I believe you are missing the fuse. My perspective is that the Dems, Rep. Frank and Sen. Dodd, created a political and economic bomb in the Community Reinvestment Act enabling people who couldn’t afford to buy a house the ability to get a loan. Then, in fall of 2007, in the hatred of George Bush and the quest for power, the media began a campaign to convince the American public that we were in a recession, knowing that “It’s the economy stupid.” and voters would throw the Republicans out of power and the presidency. A recession is the one thing that the media can predict with 100% certainty. If they will beat the recession drum, the people will get scared and quit spending money. Then you will certainly get a recession. Now we have one. So with the recession lighting the fuse to the mortgage crisis bomb created by the Dems, companies did what they have to do; they started laying people off and the foreclosure problem became an explosion of foreclosures causing the financial markets to collapse. I initially blamed it on the ignorance of the media who wanted to get rid of Bush who started the stories about recession. My wife wisely ask, was there someone smarter behind this which cause me to recall reading the shadow party. In it Cloward and Piven were willing to wreck the New York government in order to gain power and promote their agenda. So I have to ask, who would be willing to wreck the US and World economies in order to gain power and promote their adgenda. ACORN and George Soros come to mine as candidates, but of course I haven’t the means to investigate or prove this. I think time will tell as we see the disciples of Alinsky, Cloward, and Piven – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, et al starting in a few days.
