The
so-called stimulus is massive income redistribution, from the producers
to the nonproducers who are in their situation either by choice or
through the diktats of the ruling class and their decisions which turned
producers into nonproducers. The stimulus will result in much of the
middle class, and states in general, to further dependency on the
federal government sustenance.
In
Cloward-Piven terms, a crisis is: “A publicly visible disruption in
some institutional sphere.” How do they create such a crisis? “Crisis
can occur spontaneously (e.g., riots) or as the intended result of
tactics of demonstration and protest which either generate institutional
disruption or bring unrecognized disruption to public attention.”
Think
of the George Floyd protests and riots, a convenient excuse for
institutional disruption. Institutions of law and order suffered
disruption, from calls to defund the police to blatant disregard for
private property and businesses.
A
pre-planned riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6 created a false panic and a
rushed certification of the Electoral College votes without scrutiny or
review, Congress rubber-stamping a fraudulent election. It had the bonus
of allowing a bogus impeachment of President Trump, kicking a man
already down as a giant middle finger to Trump and his millions of
supporters.
Cloward-Piven
did not begin with the Trump presidency but during FDR’s New Deal, then
further codified in the 1960s when it was given a name. This included
Medicare, Medicaid and the Great Society welfare programs. New
government agencies and bureaucracies choked innovation and economic
growth. Ill-conceived and endless wars, expansion of food stamps,
Medicaid, and other social welfare programs, resulted in the majority of Americans receiving government benefits.
A
crisis led to each of these programs. Seniors and the poor unable to
afford their medical care gave us Medicare and Medicaid. The government,
replacing stay-at-home fathers, created the welfare state. A shortage
of reliable Democrat voters was rectified by opening our borders to
anyone, providing them with free benefits in exchange for not biting, or
voting against, the hand that feeds them.
Democrats
offer programs, unpopular and unappealing to the majority of Americans.
Cloward-Piven is how they muscle their agenda through. It is their only
strategy, accomplishing through chaos, fear and coercion what is
unreachable via the ballot box. Bringing down the current system
provides an opportunity to remake American society into their idealized
version of Utopia, which in reality is the Soviet Union, Cuba, or China,
with a small ruling class in charge and everyone else subservient. In
other words, a real-life Hunger Games dystopian society.
Donald
Trump was simply a speed bump on the Cloward-Piven expressway. He was
supposed to blow up the road to serfdom but instead only slowed it down
for a few years. The deep state won easily.
I
wonder if Trump even stood a chance. Did he simply provide an
opportunity for the deep state to test their new strategies of
weaponizing the government against political opponents and rigging
elections to the point that they are irrelevant?
Now
we have rule, not by our elected representatives, but by a senile old
man, signing elective orders put in front of him, orders created by his
puppet-masters hiding behind the curtains.
COVID
restrictions and lockdowns created such economic carnage that an
entirely new dependency class was born. Add to that tens of millions of
illegal immigrants, bringing dependency as well as potential health care
concerns and costs and animosity toward the country paying all their
bills, displacing American workers already struggling to regain their
footing after COVID.
Any
resistance is met with protests and riots. Those who speak out may be
cancelled or worse. The media simply parrots the talking points of the
ruling class, acting like court eunuchs for the ruling establishment.
Massive
income redistribution via government programs with attacks on the First
and Second Amendments make it impossible for the people to push back,
either verbally or physically, against a tyrannical government, all to
supposedly end poverty by making everyone poor and calling it the middle
class.
Universal
income doesn’t eliminate poverty it simply expands it, but under a
different name, something trendy, like equity. Putting dog poop on a
scoop of ice cream and calling it an ice cream sundae doesn’t make it
so, except in the eyes of the government that defines the acceptable
terms.
You
can be sure that guaranteed annual income will simply create a
subservient lower class, eager to vote for their paymasters each
November as long as they keep dripping narcotic dollars into their
wallets, not enough to climb the economic ladder but enough to keep them
satisfied.
The
productive ones, pulling on the economic oars, will eventually tire
from their efforts and take their guaranteed stipend and let someone
else row the boat. Those in charge will live lavishly as they did in the
capitol city of the Hunger Games.
Chaos
and confusion, fear and uncertainty, in a never-ending stream courtesy
of the government, solved with executive orders by the same government
designed to “fix” the very problems they created.
All
of this is being ushered in under the whip of President Cloward and
Vice President Piven. And it seems the entire ruling class, regardless
of political party, has signed on.
