An older article but take a look at the goals and tell me how the communists are doing.  I think they are achieving what they wanted, and no one stopped them or slowed them down until the tea party.  If people do not step up to the plate and get this reversed (instead of joining in on the efforts as listed below under protests), we are in huge trouble as a country............heck we are already in huge trouble with Obama, because he is pushing this agenda forward at a very high rate of speed.  This list is horrifying and you will recognize many of these are things Obama is actively doing right now!

In the 1950's and early 1960's, there was a war between Russia and the United States. It was not a war of explosions and munitions; it was an ideological war of Communism vs Democracy -- the Cold War. Communism then was looking very strong, as more and more countries fell under the Soviet sphere of influence.

The Cold War was made more frightening in 1957, when the Russian Communists became the first in Space with the launch of Sputnik. Further, in May, 1961, Fidel Castro pronounced Cuba as a Communist nation -- 90 miles off the coast of Florida. Then in October 1961, the Russian Communists exploded the Hydrogen Bomb, the most powerful bomb ever, dwarfing the 1945 bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The tension was high.

Jan 10, 1963, Congressman A. S. Herlong Jr. of Florida introduced into the Congressional Record a list of goals of the communist party as stated in the book "The Naked Communist" (1958) by Dr. W. Cleon Skousen.

Dr. Skousen was a high level agent in the FBI. He spent some years in deep cover studing the communists. He also was a full professor at Brigham Young, and at one time had been the chief of police of Salt Lake City. Skousen was an interesting and controversial character, who lived to be 93, passing in 2006.

In his book, Skousen lists 45 goals of the Soviet (and American) communist party. Having lived through all the years of the Cold War, I find this list interesting. Keep in mind while reading this list, it was published in 1958, and even though there are 45 to read, I encourage you to make it all the way to the end.

COMMUNIST GOALS, 1958:

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament (by) the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Communist China. Admission of Communist China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellite countries individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs of organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. 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.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. 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 Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. 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).

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41.Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42.Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
