The Cloward-Piven Strategy: Orchestrating A Crisis So Government Can “Solve” It; There are 2 ways to enslave a nation, one is by sword, one is by debt, John Adams
The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty; The theory here, to force change through chaos, was among the most provocative of the 1960s (FRANCES FOX PIVEN, RICHARD A. CLOWARD)
“Cloward-Piven Strategy”, as it is now called, has become a wide-ranging political strategy whose end game is to replace our capitalist system with a socialist/communist one by overloading the government bureaucracy to such an extent that it drives the country into economic collapse which they will claim proves that the current system(capitalism) is not sustainable. The proponents of this strategy do not care that the only reason why the system had collapsed was because it was artificially overloaded by them, and that if they had simply allowed the system to run its course without interference, it would have operated perfectly well.”

‘The end goal of the Cloward-Piven strategy is the creation of a political crisis leading to a guaranteed annual income.[1] The theory here, to force change through chaos (ADD). Essentially, the Cloward-Piven strategy would lead to the complete control of citizens through Socialism/Communism.
As a background, Frances Fox Piven is a professor of political science and sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.[2] The late Richard Cloward was an sociologist and liberal activist, and Piven’s spouse.[3]
Their “strategy” to implement political crisis to achieve a guaranteed annual income was published in the May 2, 1966 of The Nation, a leading liberal political and cultural magazine. In this publication, their main goal to achieve the crisis was to have “a massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls.” A federal program to administer these large welfare programs would be needed. This is because if it is administered locally, there would be lower enrollment because “the poor are most visible and proximate in the local community; antagonism toward them has always, therefore, been more intense locally than at the federal level.”
This means that if there was more oversight at the local level it would not allow the welfare rolls to increase to the levels needed to cause a financial crisis. Therefore, their solution was to move programs to Washington D.C. where people are not as aware of the costs and oversight of the programs.
The strategy also rejected that a person could overcome poverty through any “institution of private enterprise”, signaling that hard work, education, and personal responsibility are not a solution to poverty. Their only solution is a “federal program of income redistribution” to “elevate the poor en- masse from poverty.”
The solution of a guaranteed income to end poverty also must be free from any sort of conditions, like work requirements. They say, “conditional benefits result in violations of civil liberties throughout the nation, and in a pervasive oppression of the poor.” So, according to them, not only are people entitled to other people’s money, there can be no conditions on that. Under this logic, they are entitled to the coercive taking of others money because they exist. Cloward and Piven also stress the importance of marketing these benefits to the masses.
The Cloward-Piven strategy also stresses that any removal of benefits should require stringent legal review. The benefits should require administrative hearings with additional court hearings to place barriers to the removal of benefits once received. They hypothesized that lawyers could “be recruited on a voluntary basis, especially under the banner of a movement to end poverty by a strategy of asserting legal rights.” Enter the ACLU.
The liberal strategy calls for a “climate of militancy” that would overcome attitudes of being on welfare. They state that “as the crisis develops, it will be important to use the mass media to inform the broader liberal community about the inefficiencies and injustices of welfare.” The liberal infestation of mainstream media has occurred.
Their ideal political movement would be “cadres of aggressive organizers . . . from the civil rights movement and the churches, from militant low-income organizations like those formed by Saul Alinksy and other groups on the Left.”
Their plan was also ahead of the curve on implementing generational welfare dependency because they highlight that “once eligibility for basic food and rent grants is established, the dram on local resources persists indefinitely.” Their target demographic was “a coalition between poor whites and poor Negroes.”
Their “ultimate aim of this strategy is a new program for direct income distribution”, also known throughout history as Socialism/Communism which has led to the death, despair, and depravity of hundreds of millions.
The four steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy:
Overload and Break the Welfare System
Have Chaos Ensue
Take Control in the Chaos
Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force
As Milton Friedman famously said, “there is nothing so permanent as a temporary government program.” This is because government sets out to “fix” a problem with a new program. However, that program never seems to go away. Does this mean government never fixes a problem, or that government will never shrink unless forced to do so by receiving less money?’
I love my country but I'm starting to think about leaving it because of whats being done to the west. My only daughter has decided to move to Cabo San Lucas because she doesn't feel safe here anymore, and thats sad, now I'm thinking of joining her along with my husband. If things don't start to change soon we will be eating bugs and living in pods, I'm 70 and too old to change my ways, I've enjoyed a very good life and I don't want that to change because of elites who think they're gods. I learned allot about Cloward and Piven years ago watching Glenn Beck and now on the BlazeTV.com, he is a wickedly smart man, I watch him every day and the things I learn are scary. We must pray to God in Heaven to forgive us for our sins and that He may find it in Himself to save us from this evil thats hanging over our nations.
Being familiar with this, I’ve tried to re-read, and it makes me sick ...
that we in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, find ourselves here, with “eyes wide shut” just sends me over the edge....how in the world could our “conservative” politicians just roll over and play dead, and let this cancerous liberal growth take over!!!
It’s nearly (and my husband was a victim) NEARLY as bad as fawchee & Co killing a million people, and getting an award for his heroics....
Bullsh*t.....
This country used to be a place to be proud of- the land of the free! Home of the brave!!! God and Country!!! Stand for the flag, and kneel at the cross!!! Plenty of jobs-mfg companies all over everywhere-heck, we made everything we needed to carry on life as we knew it! Moms actually had the option of staying home and raising their kids -dads teaching them a work ethic yhat would serve them well; Yellow school buses, and crossing guards; never giving a second thought to our safety in school; Friday night lights, neighborhood front-porch visits, a bunch of bicycles in a front yard where kids gathered to play safely outside, whether daylight or dark; church bells ringing on Sunday mornings, with the whole town making their way inside their chosen places of worship....
Worship....we used to worship God...
Now we can’t even spell it anymore!
...we worship at the altar of SELF....
I’m so sad,,,,my beautiful country; I know those of you with some age on you remember the days I speak of, and if you do, you miss that America!!! Of course, it wasn’t perfect, but it was far from the evil perversion we live in today, and have settled in with, as the new normal...
Dear God, please honor the prayers of your faithful remnant-and get us back to a place where we can be proud again; give You honor, glorify Your name, and live free in this place that you blessed so very long ago..... May it be so,,, Amen
