Many people who are reading this are probably thinking to themselves, “Who?” Until recently, that was my first thought, “Who is this guy and what does he have to do with America?” After a quick check of the web and information from an article from Accuracy In Media (AIM) found on Discover the Networks, it began to come together. Later, while listening to Rush today (6 Oct.,2009), he was talking about what the left is doing and why. However, I feel he didn’t go back far enough so, I figured I’ll throw my 2 cents into the mix.

How did a person born in 1891 on the island of Sardinia, Italy, and would later become an Italian philosopher, writer, politician and political theorist effect the greatest country on earth? How would Gramsci, a founding member and eventually a leader of the Communist Party of Italy affect the democratic process and America’s elections?

Gramsci’s belief in Marxism, as well as his membership and leadership in the Communist Party as well as his actions, brought him into direct conflict with Benito Mussolini's Fascist regime. This conflict would cumulate in 1926, when he was arrested and eventually imprisoned for 5 years. A year later, he was transferred to another prison for an additional 20 years. It was during this imprisonment that he wrote more than 30 notebooks and 3000 pages of history and analysis. These writings are known as the Prison Notebooks. These “Notebooks” were heavily concerned with the analysis of culture and political leadership, as well as his tracing of Italian history and nationalism. These writings also contained his ideas in Marxist theory, critical theory and educational theory. In 1934, his health had deteriorated, and he eventually gained conditional freedom. He would die three years later in 1937, at the age of 46.

It was these theories and ideas that would become associated with his name and would eventually have him recognized as a highly original thinker within the Marxist tradition. Among these theories were:
•  Cultural hegemony as a means of maintaining the capitalist state.
•  The need for popular workers' education to encourage development of intellectuals from the         
   working class.
•  The distinction between political society (the police, the army, legal system, etc.) which dominates
   directly and coercively, and civil society (the family, the education system, trade unions, etc.) where
    leadership is constituted through ideology or by means of consent.
•  'Absolute historicism'.
•  The critique of economic determinism.
•  The critique of philosophical materialism.

Of all of his theories, the key to his formula for revolution is the idea of breaking what he referred to as “hegemony”. Hegemony was a concept previously used by Marxists such as Lenin to indicate the political leadership of the working-class in a democratic revolution. This concept was sharpened by Gramsci into an analysis to explain why the 'inevitable' socialist revolution predicted by orthodox Marxism had not occurred by the early 20th century. He believed that capitalism was firmly entrenched. He went on to theorize that capitalism maintained control of the populace not only through violence, but also by political and economic coercion, as well as ideologically. In a hegemonic culture, the values of the regular middle class citizens (bourgeoisie) became the 'common sense' values of all. Thus a consensus culture developed in which people in the working-class (proletariat) identified their own good with the good of the bourgeoisie, and this helped to maintain the status quo rather than having a revolution. In other words, instead of an armed revolution, he advocated that the working class needed to develop a culture of their own. With the development of this culture, it would lead to the overthrow of  the notion that bourgeois values represented 'natural' or 'normal' values for society, and this would attract the oppressed and intellectual classes to the cause of the poorest within the society. Does this sound familiar? Have we or are we seeing this in America today?

How would this change in culture come about? Well, S. Steven Powell wrote in his 1987 book,  Covert Cadre, that Gramsci advocated the need to “infiltrate autonomous institutions, such as schools (aren’t children being indoctrinated with ideas like global warming and more recently anti-capitalism by “The Story of Stuff”), the media (enough said), churches (Reverend Wright comes to mind) and public-interest groups (ACORN) – so as to radically transform the culture, which determines the environment in which political and economic policies are played out.” Carl Boggs in his book, Gramsci’s Marxism wrote, “the role of revolutionary theory is to create the foundation of a new socialist order precisely through the negation and transcendence of bourgeois society.”  Boggs continues to explain this “transcendence of bourgeois society” was the basis for Gramsci’s first priority – “the multidimensional transformation of civil society.

The central idea of Gramsci’s formula for this idea of breaking what he called the “hegemony”, or the mind-control exercised by the ruling capitalists over the masses. He believed that the bourgeois societies were ruled, by educating the citizenry that their accommodation of the moral, political, and cultural values defined by the governing system was in their best interests. Hence, a “reversal strategy” was designed by the left that would silently challenge the existing culture and value-systems that dominated bourgeois governance. This formula would be used by the progressive-socialist-Marxist Left to begin an ideological struggle to transform the entire spectrum of activities in civil society. This includes transforming the basic values of America; Judeo-Christian values, the family, schools, unions, and politics and popular trust in the existing government.

From this “reversal strategy” came ten easy steps in order to achieve a progressive-socialist –Marxist civil society. I ask the reader to ponder these “ten steps”, and look back over the past, particularly the last two decades. Have you seen any of the following happening or being embraced?
1.   Change the popular consensus
2.   Destroy Christianity, the traditional family, and existing social mores
3.   Transform the culture
4.   Install a radical Left mind-control
5.   Attain political power
6.   Impose strict control of the military and law enforcement
7.   Restrict freedom
8.   Socialize the economy
9.   Erase American sovereignty
10. Embrace a world without borders.
Some people may look at the above list, and each will draw their own conclusions of which of these “ten steps” are the most destructive. I will leave that to you, the reader.

Through out history, great civilizations have either been destroyed or transformed by religion. It the past, every empire that invaded or conquered another, would establish their “religion” as the norm. Sometimes, this would by violence as with the Muslims, other times it would be fairly peaceful, as with the Christians and the Roman Empire. That is not to say that some violence did not happen, but that is for others to debate. One of the keys to Gramsci’s formula is to subvert the moral order and this subversion is to target the religion of the bourgeois societies.

In order to achieve a socialist revolution in capitalist countries, Gramsci idea was to focus on, as Malachi Martin wrote, “corruption of their Christian cultural basis.” Martin continued, “Neither political penetration nor military superiority will bring the capitalist West to its knees. The Christian cultures of these countries are the ties that bind the people in all aspects of society.” Through there are differences in the debate between the many churches, it does come down to the fact, that America is a Judeo-Christian nation and it is this culture and history that binds us together as a nation. Martin continues,” Gramsci counsels his followers to join the capitalists in all aspects of life, from “their profession of ethical and religious goals” to their family needs and all social issues affecting their lives. But Gramsci had a catch, Malachi Martin explains: Gramsci admonished his followers to “let the entire effort be solely by man for man’s sake... Make sure man never repeats the famous cry of German philosopher Martin Heidegger: I know that only God can save us.”

In order to achieve this undoing of the “Christian culture”, Gramsci understood that it had to be done quietly, carefully and over a period of time. The key to this was stealth and a passive approach, which included the “infiltration” of various churches. Recently, Glenn Beck ( www.glennbeck.com ) touched on this infiltration with a caller on his radio show, when Glenn mentioned Liberation Theology to a caller. I don’t know if Glenn knew of Gramsci’s plan when he brought the subject up. However he did mention, the beginnings of this “social change” in South America, where the Catholic Church is the center point of social life.

There is a “school of theology “within Christianity referred to as Liberation theology. This theology emphasizes that the Christian mission is to bring justice to the poor and oppressed (social justice),. This is to be done through political activism. The theologians that preach this social justice consider sin the root source of poverty. This sin is the exploitation of capitalism and the class war by the rich against the poor.

These theologians use political theory, primarily Marxism, to help understand how to combat poverty. Although it is sometimes regarded as a form of Christian socialism and it has enjoyed widespread influence in Latin America. This Christian socialism has also become widespread within the black community in the form of “Black theology”

This form of liberation theology, Black theology, has its center the theme of the oppression of black people by white people. According to James H. Cone who developed what would be called Black liberation theology it came out of the "need for black people to define the scope and meaning of black existence in a white society”, and emerged in the last two decades in the wave of liberation movements as an expression of "black consciousness". Black theology is focused on the issues that blacks are confronted with on a daily basis. A well known believer in this is Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Many Americans may not have realized or even cared that religion in America was changing. This change came about very slowly and with a purpose. Many have gotten angry when the ACLU and other organizations “declared war on Christianity”. This war was for a purpose, it was to slowly destroy religion in America. If religion is destroyed in America, then the major tie that binds this great nation together, will, then in my humble opinion, lead to the downfall. The destruction of religion in America will also lead to the changing the popular consensus, the destruction of the traditional family, and existing social mores, and the transformation of the culture. All of these transformations are what Antonio Gramsci said would change a capitalist into a progressive-socialist –Marxist civil society. It is not only some of the churches that are using Gramsci’s his ideas to enact these changes, but there are others, some rich and powerful people and others serving within our government. These are what I refer to as the Shadow Menace 

A couple of weeks ago, Glen Beck ( http://www.glennbeck.com/index.php ) devoted part of his show to the Apollo Alliance (AA) and its connection to the writing of the Porkulus Bill. Later, Glenn went into depth on the one of the members of the AA, who was actually a co-founder of Apollo Alliance was Van Jones, a self proclaimed "communist" and "revolutionary" who served on the AA board of directors for several years ( http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/ ) and is now the Green Jobs Czar in the Obama administration or whatever want to call him, frankly I don’t care what his title is along as you call him GONE. Since Glenn began his expose’ of Van Jones others have gotten on the bandwagon, Sean Hannity ( http://www.hannity.com/ ) in particularly, who seemed a little late and a dollar short on this one. So be it, I am not going to talk about Van Jones, everybody seems to have covered him, but not mush has been said about the Apollo Alliance.

The Apollo Alliance is a project of the TidesCenter. AA claims to have been “launched in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy to catalyze a clean energy revolution in America.” (http://apolloalliance.org/ )  AA then says that in late 2007 it “spun off from its founding organizations, Campaign for America’s Future and Center for Wisconsin Strategy, and formed its own Board of Directors. Besides Van Jones, other luminaries such as: Gerald Hudson, International Executive Vice President of the SEIU; environmentalist Carl Pope; Joel Rogers, a founder of the Marxist political coalition known as the New Party; John Podesta, President and CEO of the Center for American Progress; Robert Borosage, co-founder of both the Institute for America’s Future and Campaign for America's Future; actor and environmentalist Robert Redford; former Bill Clinton administration officials Kathleen McGinty and Dan Reicher; and key figures from the Natural Resources Defense Council, the United Steelworkers Union, and the Laborers’ International Union of North America. It also expanded its staff and program to better meet the critical challenge of “promoting clean energy and good jobs.” A director of New York State’s chapter of Apollo Alliance is Jeff Jones (no relation to Van Jones). Jeff Jones is described on the AA website as someone devoted to “cleaning up toxic pollution in inner-city and rural neighborhoods (does this sound familiar, like some of the past statements of Van Jones) and reversing global warming.” However, the website does not mention that in the 1970s Jones was one of the four key leaders of the Weather Underground terrorist organization, along with Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers, and Bernardine Dohrn. It seems amazing that Obama, dismissed connections to Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn during the campaign. However, at the same time Van Jones, who is one of his advisors, just happens to be associated with a person that was a leader of the same terrorist organization.

AA’s unique role in the climate debate is supposed to be their ability to mobilize a coalition unprecedented in its strength and diversity by speaking directly to the economic benefits of moving toward a clean energy economy. In 2008, as the economy and energy rose to top Americans’ concerns, AA released The New Apollo Program, an update of their original Ten-Point Plan that was developed for the 2004 elections. This “plan” identified priorities for federal action and investment, including a “cap and invest” program (I prefer calling it Crap and Tax, currently pending in the Senate), to reduce carbon emissions; investments in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and mass transit; a plan to revitalize the manufacturing sector; and specific strategies to expand opportunities for American workers in the clean energy economy. Can anyone imagine what would have happened in 2005, if John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, had been elected in 2004? If any one thinks that the financial crisis from last year was bad, it would have been a whole lot worst, in fact we may have devolved into the dark ages and surfing the web by candle light.

AA has exerted a powerful influence on the views and policies of the Obama administration, why not Van Jones is a chief advisor. AA also “helped” craft portions of the $787 billion “stimulus” legislation (Porkulus Bill) that was signed into law in early 2009. Specifically, AA had a hand in writing the “clean energy and green-collar jobs provisions” of the bill, for which $86 billion was earmarked. This included funds “to build new transit and high speed rail lines (Gee, I wonder what company will benefit from this), weatherize homes, develop next generation batteries for clean vehicles (what country will benefit from this, since the EPA has strict rules on the materials used in manufacturing), scale up wind and solar power (ask Slim Boone Pickens about the wind energy project or Dianne Feinstein, who said “ Don’t spoil our deserts with solar panels, Fox News online, Mar. 3, 2009) , build a modern electric grid or so – called “Smart Grid” at the cost of $11 billion (again I ask, what company this may benefit), and train a new generation of green-collar workers.”

Confirming the magnitude of AA's role in shaping (writing) the stimulus bill, Senate Majority Leader, The war is  lost, Harry Reid said, “The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us [the U.S. Senate] develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them.” In July 2009, Senator Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed AA Board Chair Phil Angelides, the former Treasurer of the State of California, to serve as chairman of the newly created Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.

Now, as with anything else, the Apollo Alliance does not exist in a vacuum it is associated and has a long list of radical endorsers, among which are: ACORN; Change to Win (an ACORN entity); the SEIU; the Van Jones-founded Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, which claims that the American criminal-justice system is infested with racism; Green For All (another organization founded by Van Jones); the Working Families Party; Greenpeace USA; the League of Conservation Voters; the Natural Resources Defense Council; the Rainforest Action Network; the Sierra Club; the Union of Concerned Scientists; Working Assets; EarthJustice; the National Wildlife Federation; the Progressive States Network; and a host of big labor unions (including the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Teamsters, Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Electrical Workers, Sheet Metal Workers, Transportation Workers, United Auto Workers, Food and Commercial Workers, Mine Workers, and Steel Workers). Apollo Alliance has received funding directly from the Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation and the Robert & Patricia Switzer Foundation. In addition, AA has been the beneficiary of “grants” made to the Institute for America's Future that were earmarked specifically for AA; among these were grants from the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the Town Creek Foundation, the Overbrook Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Max and Anna Levinson Foundation, and the Energy Foundation.

As Glenn pointed out on his show, the Apollo Alliance is deeply in trenched in the Obama administration, particularly with Van Jones being an advisor. As many know, since the relationship between AA, White House and Van Jones was brought to light, a radical, web based organization,  Color of Change, current campaign is “ Stop Glenn Beck's race baiting….Fox's Glenn Beck recently said President Obama is "a racist" and has a "deep-seated hatred for white people." Beck is on a campaign to convince the American public that President Obama's agenda is about serving the needs of Black communities at White people's expense. It's repulsive, divisive and shouldn't be on the air.” However, a visit to the website, where the above quote is from, there is no mention of Van Jones as the founder of the site. Now, I have a couple questions for Mr. Jones and the White House. What’s wrong has Glenn gotten to close to the truth? Are you afraid that the American people will look behind the curtain? What is the legality of an advisor to the President of the United States, to use his website to attempt to destroy and American citizen’s right to speak out and earn a living? Is this not similar to the enemies’ list of the Nixon administration.

  The Shadow Menace (Part 2 – SEIU’s Andrew Stern)

Since I decided to begin this series of blogs, one of my favorite conservative talk show hosts, Glenn Beck, also began a series that may parallel my information, and he maybe more depth, so be it. I figure that the more information that is out there the better.

Part One was an overview of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the economic model championed by SEIU includes universal health care (Obamacare), increased taxation (Cap and Trade, increasing taxes on those making over $250,000 per year), an expansion of social welfare programs (repealing welfare and increasing unemployment benefits), and further opportunities for workers to unionize (card check). However, as with most unions, the SEIU is composed of hard working people, who just want to earn a living and not all of them are radical socialists. So where does this radical, socialist agenda come from? As with any large organizations, it comes from the top, and who is sitting at top controlling this radical agenda, Andrew Stern.

Andrew Stern is the son of a lawyer and was born November 22, 1950 in West Orange, New Jersey. He became a student leftist during the 1960s. He attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business college as a business major. In 1971, he graduated with a B.A. in education and urban planning. He then spent some time traveling in Europe. Upon his return from Europe, Stern attended the radical activist training camp, Midwest Academy (MA).MA is a training organization for a variety of leftist causes and organizations. It describes itself as "one of the nation's oldest and best known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change." It was founded in 1973 by radical activists Heather Booth and her husband Paul Booth. Booth was a founder and former National Secretary of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and former President of Chicago's Citizen Action Program (CAP). CAP was formed in 1969 by trainees from Saul Alinsky's Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF). Paul Booth is currently an assistant to Gerald McEntee, President of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), a public employees union.

After receiving his radical and activist training, Stern began his career as a welfare case officer and a member of the SEIU in 1973, where he rapidly rose through the ranks and was eventually elected president of his Pennsylvania local.  In 1980, he was elected to the union's executive board, and in 1984 the union's then-president Sweeney put him in charge of its organizing efforts. An ideal position for a community organizer.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Stern was a key organizer of SEIU's “Justice for Janitors” campaign demanding added benefits on behalf of cleaning and maintenance workers in Los Angeles. With the approval of then SEIU President Sweeney, Stern adopted and used the tactics of the 60’s New Left. Stern and with the help of his cohorts led strikers, who wore red shirts and carried signs depicting brooms held in clenched fists, in blocking access to a number of city streets. This tactic was also employed in 2004, in New York City during the GOP National Convention.

In 1996, after Sweeney became president of the AFL-CIO, Stern was elected to the presidency of the SEIU. After launching a national debate about the fundamental change needed to unite the 9 out of 10 American workers who have no organization at work, SEIU, along with the Teamsters, announced in 2005 that they were disaffiliating from the AFL-CIO (a correction to a statement in Part 1). Stern led SEIU out of the AFL-CIO and founded Change to Win, a six-million member federation of seven major unions dedicated to giving workers a voice at their jobs.

In order to give workers a voice, SEIU commonly bullies and pressures companies into signing agreements to make SEIU the representative of their employees. If a company resists joining the union, Stern and his political, media and activist allies conspire to launch “corporate campaigns”aimed at breaking down that resistance through what they term the “death of a thousand cuts.”In such campaigns, the cabal of attackers harasses and disrupts company activities, sends vicious emails and letters to stockholders, intimidates customers, stalks and frightens employees, files baseless lawsuits, and plants false stories with media allies to smear the company’s reputation. Any wonder that SEIU is closely associated with another organization that is known for the same tactics, ACORN?

In addition to being the radical leader of the SEIU, Stern is a leading figure in the so-called Shadow Party. This so-called "Shadow Democratic Party," or "Shadow Party," is a nationwide network of more than five-dozen unions, non-profit activist groups, and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left, which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats. Its activities include fundraising, get-out-the-vote drives, political advertising, opposition research, and media manipulation. The Shadow Party was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes -- all of which are identified with the Democratic Party's left.

 

Another “outstanding” organization the Stern is associated with, in fact he sits on the Executive Committee, is America Coming Together (ACT). ACT organized the Democratic Party's Government Union wing, which is represented by such leftist labor unions as the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and AFSCME. ACT was one of the 33 "progressive" member organizations constituting the America Votes coalition.Not being satisfied with the radical activities of his other organizations, Stern, along with George Soros, helped organize Working For Us(WFU), a political action committee that seeks to "elect lawmakers who support a progressive political agenda." This was aimed at moving the Democratic Party ever further to the political left. Stern and WFU work to prevent conservative and moderate Democrats from gaining too much influence in government.

In 2008 Stern supported Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy. His SEIU spent approximately $60 millionto help elect Obama to the White House, deploying some 100,000 pro-Obama volunteers during the campaign (including 3,000 who worked on the election full time). He has to become an immensely

influential advisorto President Obama. Is there any doubt why, Stern and his SEIU received a portion of the recently passed Porkulus Bill.

The Shadow Menace (Part 1- SEIU)

In 1993, a syndicated television series, Babylon 5 by J. Michael Straczynski was broadcast on television stations through out the nation. As with any successful series, it was only after a number of seasons did we find out who the true villain was. Having enjoyed the series, I wonder, if Mr. Straczynski had a crystal ball and foresaw the future. Did he foresee what is currently happening with our Republic and the American way of life? Is there a shadow menace lurking in the background? Is this shadow quietly controlling the government? Some hints have been made, particularly by Glenn Beck, www.glennbeck.com and Quinn and Rose, www.warroom.com. I hope to show that this shadow menace is not only present, but like a giant octopus has its tentacles spreading through out the administration and the organizations that support it. As Thomas Jefferson said, “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”

Unless one is a member of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), not many people have heard of it prior to 2003. In 2003, the SEIU endorsed Howard Dean for president. The SEIU sent thousands of “volunteers” to work in the states where early primaries were scheduled. After John Dean dropped out in 2004, and it was apparent that John Kerry, who served in Vietnam, would be the Democratic nominee, Andrew Stern, the president of SEIU played a major role in persuading Kerry in choosing the morally corrupt John Edwards as his running mate. But, what is the SEIU? Who is Andrew Stern? Why do they want to destroy the American way of life?

In 1986, SEIU had about 600,000 members and has since bucked a decades-long trend of declining membership. Currently it has about 1.8 million members across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico and ranks among the largest and fastest-growing unions in North America. It has more than 300 local affiliates and 25 state councils. It is now the largest labor union in the AFL-CIO. The success of SEIU can be summarized in the fact that it targeted workers that were previously ignored by most unions—unskilled low-wage service workers like janitors and hospital aides. SEIU members work in four service industry "divisions":
Hospital Systems:As America's largest union of health care workers, SEIU represents more than 900,000 caregivers and hospital employees, including  some 110,000 nurses and 40,000 doctors in public, private, and non-profit medical institutions.
Long-Term Care: SEIU is the largest union of long-term care workers (including 350,000 home care workers and 150,000 nursing home employees) in the United States.
Public Services:The second largest union of public service employees, SEIU represents 850,000 local and state government workers, public school employees, bus drivers, and child care providers.
Property Services: SEIU is the largest property services union, with 225,000 workers who clean, maintain, and protect commercial and residential office buildings.

SEIU also holds the distinction of being one of America’s two largest government unions, the other being AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees. The nightmare for such unions is not a weak economy, as it would be for private sector workers. Government workers get their money not from a free marketplace but from coerced taxes. Although many SEIU workers not employed directly by government are hospital and nursing home staffers paid indirectly by government dollars for Medicare, Medicaid and welfare patients. For this reason the government unions are the party of American socialism. (“How Socialist Unions Rule the Democratic Party, Lowell Ponte, www.frontpage.com ) It was because of this SEIU was determined to defeat Bush in 2004, by committing 65 million dollars to the campaign of Kerry and Edwards. This money was used to finance voter registration drives, voter "education" initiatives, get-out-the-vote campaigns, and the efforts of some 2,000 political organizers working full-time against President Bush in 17 key battleground states. Moreover, the Union pledged to supply 50,000 "volunteers" from its membership rolls just prior to, and on, election day. Does this sound familiar?

In 2004, the Republicans were public enemy number one to the SEIU because they (the Republicans) wanted to reduce the size and spending of government, and to contract out millions of existing government tasks to money-saving, non-unionized private companies. The wealth, power and future of this and AFSCME depend on replacing a Republican President with Democratic advocates of government expansion like the team of Kerry and Edwards. Another reason for the onslaught against the Republicans, not only in 2004, but continues to this day is SEIU’s call for "the redirecting of the nation's resources from inflated military spending to meeting the needs of working families for health care, education, a clean environment, housing and a decent standard of living.” Does this sound like the current regime’s plans for America?
