A deadly revolution is brewing in America, Europe, and the Middle East. Its goals were framed by Karl Marx in the 1840's, but they are as old as time: Create an angry mob and manipulate it to elevate yourself to power. The foremost proponent of this idea - in the Western world - was a man named Saul Alinsky. He wrote a book fifty years ago called Rules For Radicals. The opening page has a dedication to Satan, and it's not a joke. The following are a few excerpts:
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history... the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
Prologue"The Revolutionary force today has two targets, moral as well as material. Its young protagonists are one moment reminiscent of the idealistic early Christians, yet they also urge violence and cry, 'Burn the system down!' They have no illusions about the system, but plenty of illusions about the way to change our world. It is to this point that I have written this book."
1. The Purpose"In this book we are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people; to realize the democratic dream of equality, justice, peace.... This means revolution...
"A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. From this he logically proceeds to the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage of reorganization into a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally the last stage -- the political paradise of communism.
"An organizer working in and for an open society is in an ideological dilemma to begin with, he does not have a fixed truth -- truth to him is relative and changing; everything to him is relative and changing.... To the extent that he is free from the shackles of dogma, he can respond to the realities of the widely different situations...."
"The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…. The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be...."
In other words, idealism has absolutely nothing to do with this movement. It is entirely concerned with gaining raw power.

The track record of Marxist/collectivist/socialist societies in all of history is terrible. Because it is atheist and divorced from God, it is a deadly illusion and a cruel fraud.
Note: Hillary Clinton, who is now U.S. Secretary of State, did her college Masters Degree thesis on Saul Alinsky. She is - or was - such an admirer and advocate of Alinsky that she has made sure her thesis is sealed from all public scrutiny. She will not answer any questions about it.
