WND Joseph Farah 's (At Tea Party Convention now) Conspiracy Theory: Cloward-Piven Strategy

The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery

Using borrowed money for a band-aid bailout of the economy should seem backwards to most people. However, it likely is a planned strategy to promote radical change. Those naively believing that President Obama is simply rewarding his far-left base, and will then move to the political center, must wise up.


The assumption that Obama will need the nation to prosper in order to protect the 2010 mid-term election incorrectly assumes that he esteems free market capitalism. He does not. Rather than win through superior ideas and policies, the Democrat plan for success in the mid-term elections is to win by destroying political opposition.


Obama adheres to the Saul Alinksy Rules for Radicals method of politics, which teaches the dark art of destroying political adversaries. However, that text reveals only one front in the radical left's war against America. The Cloward/Piven Strategy is another method employed by the radical Left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

He then segues into ACORN - didn't quite get the connection, but it matters not to this crowd. They're eating this up. Can't wait for the Q&A bit. :eyes:

Watching at www.pjtv.com

On edit, I think I found how he got from Cloward-Piven to ACORN to Obama (notice the reference to 'militant black organizer'):

Cloward and Piven recruited a militant black organizer named George Wiley to lead their new movement. For more information on Wiley and his welfare rights movement. In the summer of 1967, Wiley founded the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), with headquarters in Washington, DC. Wiley's tactics closely followed the recommendations set out in Cloward and Piven's article. His followers invaded welfare offices across the nation - often violently - bullying social workers and loudly demanding every penny to which the law "entitled" them. By 1969, NWRO claimed a dues-paying membership of 22,500 families, with 523 chapters across the nation.

I have no idea what this website is, but this is almost verbatim what that Farah nut was talking about. Apparently, Rush and other right wing nuts have been developing this conspiracy for some time now.

7. I missed how he connected the Cloward-Piven thing to ACORN to Obama

did you get that?

Did you then see Breitbart and the guy Steven Banner who did the movie they're airing, Generation Zero?

I'm having a hard time even explaining where they are coming from. I am almost speechless, just left scratching my head.
