Why Barack Obama REALLY Needs His Base
"The first step in Community Organization is community disorganization....Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displaced by new patterns that provide the opportunities and means for citizen participation. All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.....The organizer must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression."
- Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, p. 116
"There is nothing more draining, nothing more fatal, than this classical politics, with its dried up rituals, its thinking without thought, its little closed world....As the welfare state collapses, we see the emergence of brute conflict between those who desire order and those who don't....To the point that any return to normal is no longer desirable or even imaginable....It is now publicly understood that crisis situations are so many opportunities for the restructuring of domination....How does a situation of generalized rioting become an insurrectionary situation?!?
- The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection, pp. 11-19
"[W]e decided to declare May 1st, 2012 a People’s General Strike. Instead of calling upon unionized Labor to make a specific demand (illegal under Taft-Hartley), we are calling upon the people of the world to take this day away from school and the workplace, so that their absence makes their displeasure with this corrupt system be known."

Barack Obama cannot win this election. He knows it. That's why he's deliberately sowing chaos.
For months, people have been accusing President Obama of ginning up his base to help his re-election effort. They miss Obama's purpose by a country mile. Barack Obama isn't ginning up his base to show up at the polls, Obama is ginning up his base to riot.
The dirty little secret is that Obama's base isn't big enough to win an election. That is why Democrats have to lie and pretend to be conservatives in order to win elections. Furthermore, Obama's base doesn't reliably vote. But people who don't vote will still riot.
Barack Obama's base consists of certain minorities (mainly blacks), Jon Stewart's audience, and the Unions. If you look at who is fomenting chaos, it's these three groups. The New Black Panthers are the Black element. Occupy Wall St. is Jon Stewart's audience. Unions are notorious commie thugs. I expect La Raza to get into the action soon.
The purpose of riots is to disrupt daily life, which confuses and frightens the broad apolitical middle. This has three potential benefits for the left:
1) Overwhelming the New Administration - I think this is the real objective; as I wrote in February:
3) Instigate a Massive Crackdown - This is what Glenn Beck thinks is the end-game. George Soros has expressed similar sentiments. I'm skeptical; as Alinsky says:
If Barack Obama's base is angry, they'll create chaos, which is Obama's real objective. Historically, authority figures cave to this sort of thuggery, or tragedy ensues. The possible difference, this time, is that there might be a critical mass of citizens who understand the game being played.
Conservatives need to wrap their heads around this reality. We are going to win this election, then we're going to assume power amidst massive chaos. When that happens we need to understand the game the left is really playing. As the Invisible Committee said:

1) Overwhelming the New Administration - I think this is the real objective; as I wrote in February:
Barack Obama's allies in the #Occupy movement have clearly stated their intention to "Recreate [the chaos of 19]68" in 2012. To understand why recreating 1968 benefits the hard left, one needs to properly understand the events of 1969. In 1969, Richard Nixon assumed the Presidency following the Biggest Expansion of Government (prior to Obama) in American History. Nixon's inauguration was followed shortly thereafter by Leftist Campus Takeovers, the Emergence of the Weathermen, Homosexual Attacks on the NYPD, the Manson Murders, and the Marxist-inspired 'Days of Rage.' Against this backdrop, and a continuing War in Vietnam, conservative efforts to unwind Medicare and the War on Poverty floundered. From the perspective of the Hard Left, which seeks to expand government and does not particularly care who holds elected office at any given time, 1969 (and Richard Nixon's entire Presidency) was an unqualified victory.2) Bullying the Broad Apolitical Middle so they 'volutarily' Give The Left What They Want - If the situation gets stressful enough, people who don't follow politics closely may decide that the path of least resistence is to give the rioters what they want.
3) Instigate a Massive Crackdown - This is what Glenn Beck thinks is the end-game. George Soros has expressed similar sentiments. I'm skeptical; as Alinsky says:
As an organizer I start where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be — it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be.I don't think the American people are far enough gone, yet, to accept a massive crackdown. A crackdown could wake up the broad apolical middle to the point where they wise-up to the left. To me, instigating a massive crackdown seems too big a risk to the broader Marxist project. On the other hand, if they could instigate a massive crack-down several years down the road, under a Republican, then they could demonize it.
If Barack Obama's base is angry, they'll create chaos, which is Obama's real objective. Historically, authority figures cave to this sort of thuggery, or tragedy ensues. The possible difference, this time, is that there might be a critical mass of citizens who understand the game being played.

The Goal of any insurrection is to become irreversable. (130)Forewarned is forearmed.

On Treyvon Martin, Manufacturing Outrage, and Chaos
"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 displaced by new patterns that provide the opportunities and means for citizen participation (*). All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new."
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, Page 116
Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals, Page 116
*Keep in mind, for Alinsky 'Citizen Participation' is a euphemism for ginning up an angry mob.
If you haven't heard about the Treyvon Martin story this past week, you're living under a rock; something about this story stinks.
The main thing that bugs me about this story is the speed with which it's taken off. Over the past week, I've seen it go from obscure websites, to Think Progress and the Huffington Post, then to ABC News. Each time the story has moved forward, it's gotten posted on more Facebook pages. Considering everything we know about Media Matters, something doesn't add up. I can't shake the feeling that we're at the beginning of another
So, what's going on and why would anyone advance something like this?!?
In Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky said: "Before men can act on an issue it must become polarized" (78). I've believed, for some time now, that some VERY powerful forces are deliberately sowing anger and chaos in America. If you're looking to polarize the nation to sow anger and chaos, this story is perfect. Consider:
- Is the story racially charged?!? Check
- Does the story demonize gun owners?!? Check
- Is the story friendly to straw man arguments?!? Check
- Does the story lend itself to an easy villain?!? Check
- Is the Villain tailor made for an angry mob?!? Good Grief, Check
It's an old saying, but a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its boots on. That's why I don't trust stories that appear out of nowhere on the internet. A year ago, you had this phony Arab Spring take off out of nowhere on the internet, we now know that was a lie. A month ago, you had the #PhonyKony internet video, we also know that was a lie. This Trayvon Martin story stinks worse than those other two, and I cannot shake the feeling that it's sophistocated twenty-first century cyber-astroturf. I've tried to start viral campaigns on the internet, and it's hard; it's a lot easier if you have powerful people helping you behind the scenes.
So, what does this all mean?!? It's impossible to know at this point, but if the following events happened, it wouldn't surprise me:
- Several months from now, we learn this is a massive Overton Window.
- We start seeing gun owners demonized as racist
- George Zimmerman ends up being the first person dragged into the streets and killed by Occupy Wall St.
It stinks BADLY.

Why Barack Obama Wants Chaos
Barack Obama and the Hard Left are laying a trap for the next President. Unless the Republican nominee recognizes and prepares for this trap, he risks walking right into it when he assumes office next January. Barack Obama and the Hard Left are currently sowing chaos that they hope will overwhelm the first year of the next administration in order to entrench the "Fundamental Transformation" he's already got written.
To prepare for this trap, the next President must understand Barack Obama's real agenda. Barack Obama's actions over the last year reveal a man clearly uninterested in re-election. For example, Catholics are swing voters in traditional swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida; why would any politician interested in winning an election in those states issue a mandate that offends the deepest moral beliefs of The Catholic Church?!? Clearly, a politician interested in those states would NEVER take such an action. Thus, one must conclude Barack Obama is uninterested in re-election. What, then, is Barack Obama's real agenda?!?
Barack Obama's primary agenda, at this point, is to ensure the legislative changes he has already accomplished go fully into effect. To secure his fundamental transformation of America, Barack Obama and the Hard Left will sow chaos throughout the United States and the World in 2012. Expect that chaos to spillover into 2013/14 and the first year of the new administration, regardless of the new President's identity. Barack Obama and the Hard Left understand that, in American politics, major changes in policy occur almost exclusively in the first year of new Presidential administrations. Thus, Barack Obama and the Hard Left understand that if the new President spends 2013 reacting to National and Global Chaos, this window for major policy changes can pass without unwinding Obama's previous legislative victories.
Barack Obama's allies in the #Occupy movement have clearly stated their intention to "Recreate [the chaos of 19]68" in 2012. To understand why recreating 1968 benefits the hard left, one needs to properly understand the events of 1969. In 1969, Richard Nixon assumed the Presidency following the Biggest Expansion of Government (prior to Obama) in American History. Nixon's inauguration was followed shortly thereafter by Leftist Campus Takeovers, the Emergence of the Weathermen, Homosexual Attacks on the NYPD, the Manson Murders, and the Marxist-inspired 'Days of Rage.' Against this backdrop, and a continuing War in Vietnam, conservative efforts to unwind Medicare and the War on Poverty floundered. From the perspective of the Hard Left, which seeks to expand government and does not particularly care who holds elected office at any given time, 1969 (and Richard Nixon's entire Presidency) was an unqualified victory.
At CPAC 2011, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels said the left "need only play good defense. The federal spending commitments now in place will bring about the leviathan state they have always sought. The health care travesty now on the books will engulf private markets and produce a single-payer system or its equivalent, and it won?t take long to happen." Conservatives MUST remember this fact as we move forward into 2012 and beyond. Between Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and Automatic Defense Cuts, Barack Obama's fundamental transformation of America is already law. During the coming chaos, whether it's in the form of #Occupy Related Violence, Drug Cartel Violence, a shooting war in the Middle East or any other source, the Federal Bureaucracy will continue business as usual. Under current law, business as usual will entrench Barack Obama's fundamental transformation. That's one of the reasons we should expect the coming chaos to continue (at least) into 2014 which is, NOT coincidentally, the year Obamacare goes into full effect.
Fortunately, the coming chaos is a surmountable challenge. The key, for conservatives, is to recognize the coming chaos for what it really is and act accordingly. That means electing to Congress committed conservatives who will enact conservative legislation NO MATTER WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD.
The coming chaos is deliberate, and Barack Obama and the Hard Left are behind it. Their goal is to distract and confuse the new administration in 2013 the same way the hard left did to Richard Nixon in 1969. Forewarned is forearmed and, as long as a conservative Congress is willing to move forward no matter what, they will fail....
