Forty-Five Goals to Destroy the United States of America (Part 3)

By ATP President LTC (Ret.) Jeff Tiegs

This is a continuation of our review of?The Naked Communist , a 1958?anti-communist ?book written by American faith-based political theorist?W. Cleon Skousen . The book has been reprinted several times, most recently in 2017. Its warnings are relevant today,?maybe more than ever .

In Part 1, we mostly looked at international and external tactics to weaken America. In Part 2, we looked at more internal tactics and how dismantling American culture will make way for socialists and communists to succeed.

In Part 3, we will continue with some culture issues but also dig into more social and national strategies the Naked Communist points out as ways to degrade our nation:

• Discredit the American Constitution?by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.?2023 note: The U.S. Constitution and the Supreme Court have never been respected less. We must return them to the necessary level of respect they both deserve.?
• Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”?2023 note: This is another one of those tactics that has become ingrained and entrenched in American schools. We are in our second generation of Americans who are taught to despise our founding fathers.
• Belittle all forms of American culture?and discourage the teaching of American history on the grounds that it was only a minor part of “the big picture.” Give more emphasis to world history and “underrepresented” people groups.?2023 note: Obliterating the American past, with its antecedents in principles of freedom, liberty, and private ownership is a major goal of the communists then and now.
• Support any socialist movement?to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc…?2023 note: Rights and control need to be returned to the state level more than ever and limited government needs to become an option again. Neither party (Democrat or Republican) is pushing this in any substantive way.
• Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.?2023 note: As an institution, the FBI has never been less respected. The level of partisanship and corruption in the FBI, warranted or not, is threatening to its future.?
• Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.?2023 note: The unions are 100 percent in the pocket of socialist tenets across America.?
• ?Infiltrate and gain control of big business.?2023 note: The growing rhetoric that degrades American businesses, entrepreneurship, and the wealthy by labeling them evil, greedy and unjust only ends one way. Federal control of the free market is tantamount to Communism.?
• Transfer some of the powers of arrest?from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.?2023 note: This is a main goal of the Black Lives Matter movement and much of the current social liberalism in America. It needs to stop now.
• Dominate the psychiatric profession?and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose communist/socialist goals.?2022 note: Psychiatry remains a bulwark of the communist/socialist (liberal) agenda of fostering self-criticism and docility.
• Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.?2023 note: This one is already complete. The sovereign family is the single most powerful obstacle to authoritarian control.
• Emphasize the need to raise children away?from the negative influence of parents.?2023 note: The current transgender movement can also be viewed in this lens. It is all part of the new social order that can make way for communism and socialism to rise.
• Create the impression that violence and insurrection?are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a “united force” to solve economic, political, or social problems.?2023 note: We’ve seen a decline in violence from Black Lives Matter and Antifa, but that is because they are currently getting their way. Unfortunately, crime is on the rise all across the U.S. The destabilizing influence of crime completely undermines American security and confidence.?
• Internationalize the Panama Canal.?2023 note: While control of the Panama Canal was handed over to Panama in 1999, it is heavily influenced by communist China and its “business interests.”
• ?Give the World Court jurisdiction?over domestic problems.?There continues to be a liberal push to bring international organizations in to govern and judge American affairs.?

I hope this three-part analysis of “The Naked Communist” helps you recognize that these strategies have been in place a long time.?Some of them are already seemingly out of our control while others need to be addressed immediately.
