BEN CARSON: AMERICA NOW IN 'PRE-F*****T' ERA
Saul Alinsky or Alexander Solzhenitsyn? Whose path will America follow?
Dr. Ben Carson, a noted author, brain surgeon and possible Republican candidate for president, says the country has already gone far down the path of Alinsky, but its not too late to pull back from the brink of authoritarian socialism.
As Americans prepared to celebrate their freedom this Independence Day, Carson sat down with WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah and offered a sobering view of the current state of the country.
In the light of NSA spying, government taking over health care and the IRS intimidating tea-party activists, Farah asked if there were any lessons that could be drawn from Solzhenitsyns experience living under Soviet c*******m during the Cold War.
I remember back in the day, Solzhenitsyn was asked what went wrong in the Soviet Union and what made it the nightmare police state that it was? Farah said. And he said, We forgot about God.
Carson agreed with that assessment. He said he encourages people to read the works of not just Solzhenitsyn, but those of his historic adversaries Vladimir Lenin, Karl Marx and Alinsky.
They asked themselves what it would take to bring America into alignment, to achieve their one-world vision and their utopian society, Carson said.
The answer became obvious. Attack, attack, attack, at the nations soul, and stir up divisions at every level of American society women against men, old against young, race against race, rich against poor.
They said, you know, the problem with America is that theyre too strong. They have a couple of very strong pillars. The family, the traditional family, and their Judeo-Christian values, Carson said. You need to attack those things constantly, bring them down, and you will level the United States. You see the constant attacks in our country now.
A pre-f*****t or pre-revolutionary society typically breaks down into warring factions that stop talking to each other. That seems to be the place America has fallen into, and Carson addresses those divisions in his new book One Nation: What We Need to Do to Save Americas Future.
Carson seemed most impassioned when he was talking about how conservatives can stay engaged, stay informed and win back the country from those who would seek to fundamentally change its system of representative democracy under limited government.
I emphasize in that book the importance of people using their sphere of influence. Thats how you get around the liberal media. You need to talk to your uncle, who hasnt v**ed in 20 years, about whats going on. You need to start talking to your neighbors, even if theyre liberals, talk to them, Carson said. Because, what happens is, a lot of people who are liberals really havent thought their positions through. And they listen to their leaders who try to demonize people. They listen to those people who believe in the Saul Alinsky philosophy. One of his rules: Never have a conversation with your adversary, because that humanizes them. And your job is to demonize them. They dont want you to talk.
Carson said that philosophy is on full display in the halls of American universities, which were once bastions of open dialogue and free thought. Now, theyre more like intellectual prisons ruled by thought police.
Thats why, at your universities now, they say, we dont want to hear this person, we dont want anybody to hear them, Carson said. If they have a business we want to tear it down, if they have a reputation we want to get rid of it.
This is pre-f*****t thinking. A lot of the liberals dont realize that. They dont know that theyre being used. As Lenin said, you know, useful i***ts. We can use these people to actually change America and they wont even know that they are our puppets and we are using them.
Carson likened the pre-f*****t state to a married couple heading toward divorce. First they stop talking to each other, then the next thing you know their partner is the devil incarnate.
Separation and divorce follows. When its a nation involved, this pre-f*****t condition can lead to chaos and lawlessness.
But when people begin to have conversations, and actually talk about the kind of America they would like to pass on to their children, walls break down.
And a lot of people will begin to realize, hey, you know, you are not my enemy. My enemy is this person, who is trying to fundamentally change America and change it for my children and my grandchildren, Carson said.
He cited The Naked C*******t, a book written in 1958 by Cleon Skousen, as laying out the strategy of those who want to usher in this new America.
It lays out the whole agenda including getting people in important positions in the mainstream media so they could drive the agenda and thats whats happening now, Carson said. The media does not have the answers. We need to just move around them.
Carson said most people who hold fast to traditional Judeo-Christian values tend to fold their tents too quickly and bow to the forces of political correctness.
Part of the problem is we back down too easily, he said. I remember some years ago the lawyers came to my wife and me and said you cant put your Think BIG banners up in public school because each of the letters means something and the G stood for God and there can be no government support for religious expression. I said the Constitution also says there can be no government suppression of religious expression. So we had a vigorous discussion.
He was later allowed to put up his banner.
A lack of leadership
Carson also cited a vacuum of spiritual leadership in the land. He called out American clergy, many of whom he said tend to shrink from their duty to preach the word of God. He said its easy to avoid the issue of decaying morals that are eating away at the American family.
The clergy in our nation has largely adopted a go-along to get-along attitude, he said. We dont want anyone to see us as bad guys, so you know, what the word of God says, eh, thats old stuff. We want to talk about the modern era, without really looking at the consequences.
People with Judeo-Christian values, have to be willing to stand up for what they believe, because the secular progressives will keep pushing until they meet resistance, Carson said. They will never stop. So, if you have adopted a go-along to get along attitude, then they win by default. You continue to lose ground, forever. Thats whats happening to the values in our country right now.
He said many cultural conservatives feel beaten, but in his travels across the states he is seeing signs that people who had given up are starting to reawaken.
Basically, if you look in our public schools and in our universities, they teach, well, theres not really any right, theres not any wrong. Its all relative. Its a matter of how you look at it. Those were the exact things that happened to the Roman Empire. They lost their identity, they lost their value system. They lost their vision. They lost their nation.
So while those with traditional values may still make up the silent majority, silence wont get the job done, he said.
Fear seems to be paralyzing a lot of hard-working Americans who know somethings not right in the country.
Theyve been beaten down. Theyve been beaten into submission, (wondering) am I going to lose my job? Am I going to get an IRS audit? This is not America when thats going on, Carson said. I cant tell you how many people I run into from Eastern bloc countries who say, theyre terrified. Because they came here to escape that. Now the same thing is happening here.
So the key is to defy the Alinsky divide-and-conquer strategy and resist the loud voices on the mainstream media.
There are elements that dont like our system. They want to change us into the, quote, utopian society, and in order to do that they have to make what were doing now seem as though it doesnt work. So, they drive wedges into every little crack to create a war, Carson said.
Theres a war on women, race wars, age wars, income wars, religion wars. You name it, there is a war on it. All of which is straight out of the pages of Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky.
What we have to do is rise above it. Stop allowing ourselves to be so easily manipulated.
And one of the best ways not to be easily manipulated is to be educated. You have to actually know stuff.
Speaking from a position of knowledge is always more effective, and that takes time and effort.
The founders of our nation said our system of government and our freedom is dependent on a well-informed and educated populace, Carson said. They knew if we werent like that the nature of the country would drastically change quite quickly. Along would come slick politicians, dishonest media and people who dont have a good base of knowledge could be easily manipulated.
Whats lacking is the desire to inform ones self, he said.
Go on the street and ask who sings the appy song, and most of them will know, Carson said. But you ask about B******i and they wont know about that. Is that a singer? It sounds like it could be a singer.
Most people go into the v****g booth looking for a D or an R or a recognizable name, he said. So a country that doesnt have a vision, that is kind of forgetting who it is, will naturally kind of deteriorate into a bunch of factions. When we throw away those values that made our country great, youre going to see a concomitant deterioration.
Yet, the media focuses on the distractions of the day.
Instead of B******i, Americans are subjected to chatter about the merits of the Washington Redskins and whether the teams name might offend someone.
Marijuana is now considered good, but sugar is taboo.
Why are they talking about how much sugar is in the beverage that you are drinking? Not that thats not important but we need to look at the things that are truly having a deleterious effect on our country, Carson said. And stop this subterfuge. Why so much distraction.
Why are we more concerned about the trademark issue with the Redskins? Give me a break. When weve got B******i going on, and Fast and Furious going on, and the IRS going on. And were talking about a trademark for the Redskins?
Its the whole idea of political correctness. I talk a lot about it in the book, because I think its destructive.

Yes, I have seen the video and it is a very worrisome thing.
Oh what do what to do the sky is falling! How, in the name of God can people be woken up in time?

I watched Agenda just last night and it eerily explains what is going on in the U.S. It makes complete sense that c*******ts have infiltrated all levels of government, including recently its head. It also points out that they have been VERY successful in the steady destruction of the United States over the last 50 years or so while the "plan" and its results have definitely accelerated in the past five-and-a-half years -- Read last sentence.

My prayer is that Dr. Carson will run for president! He is a common sense guy with logical answers to America's problems. Read his books "America the Beautiful " and "One Nation". He is presently on a 29 city book tour so check to see him in your area. He is the real deal!!

That video was an eyeopener. These enemies have been implementing their agenda since the 30s. Now I know why obummer says "everything is working fine" when everyone looks around and says is he crazy, none of his plans are working. Maybe to the American way of thinking they're not, but obummer is not thinking like an American,when he spouts all is working he means it, according to "the agenda"it's working.

I just finished it and is excellent, except for his take on taxes. I do believe in the bible and give my 10+% to God before anything else gets paid, but disagree with him on a flat tax.
I have read the Fair Tax book and believe it is the only way we can save our Republic. Under the flat 10% tax the crooks will still no be paying taxes. Using the Fair Tax you will be taxing the entire GNP and even the hookers, drug dealers will be paying taxes.
Make "The Fair Tax Book" your next read, you will be glad you did.
Oh and yeah, will be v****g for Ben for POTUS :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

If he runs and I hope he does if America is still standing. Although I do believe that Karl Rove and the democrat party will do everything in their power to destroy the man. They will lie c***t and fabricate story upon story to destroy and discredit him. They will pay people to lie about him and tell untrue stories about numerous affairs and liaison relations and on and on it will go. Look what they did to Herman Cain and also what they tried to do to Clarence Thomas. It will truly be a display of ugliness in America.
