The Two Little Known Columbia Professors Who Planned the Collapse of America in 1966

Their aim was to create a crisis in the welfare system by overwhelming it.

Published

on

The Cloward-Piven plan is a political strategy developed in the 1960s by two sociology professors, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their aim was to create a crisis in the welfare system by overwhelming it with new applicants, thereby creating chaos and forcing the government to adopt radical leftist policies. Many conservatives believe that what is happening in America today is a clear execution of this plan, with the Biden administration pushing policies that are destroying the country’s economy, increasing welfare dependency, and expanding government power.

Cloward and Piven were both professors at the Columbia University School of Social Work. They were also married to one another. The Cloward-Piven strategy was outlined in a May 1966 article in the liberal magazine The Nation titled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.”

The Cloward-Piven plan is based on the idea that the best way to achieve socialist goals is not through violent revolution but by gradually overloading the welfare state until it collapses. The idea is to create a crisis that will force the government to adopt radical leftist policies, such as universal healthcare, guaranteed income, and the nationalization of key industries.

The plan was first put into practice in New York City in the late 1960s, where Cloward and Piven organized the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) to increase the number of people on welfare. The NWRO was successful in getting thousands of new people to apply for welfare benefits, which led to a budget crisis in New York City and forced the government to adopt more progressive policies.

Today, many conservatives believe that what is happening in America is a clear execution of the Cloward-Piven plan. They point to the Biden administration’s push for massive spending on welfare programs, such as the $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, which includes a $300 weekly unemployment benefit on top of existing state benefits. They argue that this is just the first step in a larger plan to create a crisis in the welfare system and force the government to adopt even more radical policies.

Conservatives also point to the Biden administration’s efforts to increase government power and control. For example, the administration has proposed expanding the size of the Supreme Court, which conservatives argue is an attempt to pack the court with leftist judges who will support radical policies. They also point to the administration’s push for gun control, which they argue is an attempt to disarm the population and make it easier for the government to exert control.

Another way in which the Cloward-Piven plan is being executed is through the push for open borders and mass immigration. Conservatives argue that the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies are overwhelming the country’s social services and welfare system, as more and more illegal immigrants enter the country and rely on government assistance. They argue that this is a deliberate strategy to create a crisis in the system and force the government to adopt more radical policies, such as amnesty for illegal immigrants and the abolition of ICE.

Conservatives also point to the Biden administration’s efforts to increase racial division and stoke class warfare. They argue that the administration’s focus on critical race theory and identity politics is an attempt to divide the country along racial and socioeconomic lines, creating chaos and making it easier for the government to impose radical policies. They also argue that the administration’s push for increased taxes on the wealthy is an attempt to demonize the successful and create class resentment.

Many conservatives see the Cloward-Piven plan as a direct threat to American democracy and capitalism. They argue that the plan is designed to undermine the country’s free market system and replace it with a socialist one. They also argue that the plan is a direct attack on individual liberty, as it seeks to create a society in which the government has almost unlimited power and control over people’s lives.

In conclusion, many conservatives believe that what is happening in America today is a clear execution of the Cloward-Piven plan. They argue that the Biden administration’s policies are creating a crisis in the welfare system, increasing government power and control, and undermining American democracy and capitalism. Whether or not the Cloward-Piven plan is actually being executed is a matter of debate, but there is no doubt that the policies being pushed by the Biden administration are causing significant social and economic disruption.

However, it is worth noting that not all conservatives agree with the idea that the Cloward-Piven plan is being executed. Some argue that the Biden administration’s policies are simply misguided and ineffective, rather than part of a deliberate strategy to undermine American democracy and capitalism.

The left has long worked to overthrow America and all that it stands for. They have been working at it since early in the 1900’s and it took up more speed in the late 60’s and early 70’s with the rise of the radical left. PolitiCrossing founder Chris Widener explains the three-pronged attack and how it is almost complete, as well as the only things we can do to save ourselves and this country we love.

World’s Greatest Shakedown: California Reparations

The very notion of reparations is a ludicrous attempt to re-direct and correct every part of history

Published

on

California, the go-to state for many in the 20th century is now the must leave state in the 21st century, replete with crumbling cities, high crime, over-taxation, brownouts, stifling regulations, and a pending shakedown for the ages.

In 2020, a nine-member reparations taskforce was established by Governor Gavin Newsom. Since then, heated debates on reparations for black Californians have transpired. Initially the taskforce suggested $220,000 per person. Then, they decided that $350,000 was more appropriate.

Five days ago, the taskforce recommended $1.2 million per person. Days later, activists demanded $200 million for every African-American, the current value of 40 acres and mule! Never mind that since 1860, few U.S. families have ever amassed and maintained such sums.

The Granddaddy of Racial Shakedowns

Based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates, 2.3 million people identify solely as African American or black, not the 1.8 million that everyone seems to be quoting. If each of 2.3 million people receives $1.2 million, the California reparation bill would equal $2,760,000,000,000 ($2.76 trillion). The state’s entire annual budget is merely $320 billion. So the ‘reparations debt’ would be nearly nine times the annual budget.

If California could somehow could raise an additional $1,000,000 an hour, 24 hours a day, non-stop, it only would take 315 years to reach $2.76 trillion. At $200 million per black person, if the state could somehow raise $10,000,000 per hour, 24 hours a day, non-stop, it would take more than 5,000 years to pay for the ‘reparations debt.’

Even at the lower figure, of $1.2 million per person, count on a mass migration to California. And it would be game on for every race faker in existence. Oh, and does it matter that since 1965, the Federal Government has spent more than $21 trillion on programs for affirmative action and equal opportunity?

Why fret about such trivial monetary details?

Slavery, No; Discrimination, Yes

Beyond the insane sums, other insolvable issues linger: California was not a slave state. Okay, maybe former slaves moved there.

During the time of slavery, free blacks in the U.S. owned black slaves. So… now what? Document that your ancestors were slaves, owned by white people, to cash in? If they were owned by black people, however, you receive nothing?

Regarding discrimination, it is undeniable. Darker-skinned and yellow-skinned citizens who have emigrated within the last generation do well, however, according to the American Community Survey, part of the U.S. Census Bureau. How is reparation accounting affected as Pakistani, Indian, Malaysian, Sri Lankan, and Filipino Americans residing in California and all over the country have higher median family income than whites? Are whites being discriminated against?

Counting Everyone?

Other groups besides blacks faced, and face, discrimination in major ways. The Chinese, in San Francisco and statewide, suffered decades of discrimination, as did Mexicans, Latin Americans, and American Indians. In some respects, such discrimination continues. People with disabilities and woman faced, and face, discrimination.

For generations women were discriminated against, certainly in terms of businesses they may have operated or tried to launch, in property rights, and even in family rights.

As to the question “Who is black” should California resort to the racist doctrine about “one single drop of blood?” Thus, if you have any black ancestors, you’re considered black? Or, do you have to pass a contemporary standard? It’s a conundrum that can’t be solved.

Boiled down, a wokester’s favorite target remains: white males. Apparently white males never endured hardship and caused everyone else to suffer. These males, however, have had historically higher suicide rates than women, shorter lifespans, higher incarceration rates, and a greater incidence of mental illness.

Okay, Settle It

The notion of reparations, beyond being the all-time shakedown, that makes BLM look like amateurs, is a ludicrous attempt to redirect and correct every part of history, apparently a key Leftist agenda item. It cannot be done: Tall people have higher lifetime earnings than short people. Active people fare better than inactive people. Educated people, obviously, have the odds stacked in their favor, and so forth.

Do you want to emulate Kurt Vonnegut’s plot in his short story Harrison Bergeron? In it, equality reigns supreme: No one is permitted to be stronger, better looking, or smarter than anybody else. If you’re strong, you must proceed in life with one hand literally tied behind your back. If you’re attractive, you need to wear a mask, and so on.

Here’s a thought that I once felt I’d never have: If there were some fair and effective way to distribute a reasonable, affordable sum to verifiably black people, whose descendants have long been discriminated against, okay. Put this grievance to bed for all time.

Recipients can invest the money, pay for their children’s education, or do whatever they want with it. Once the money is dispensed, no more talk about reparations.

Ever.
