Goals
The
goal of the American Fifth Column is to bring about broad based permanent
change in America. The effort is seldom focused upon speed of change,
tending to seek incremental victories over huge sweeping changes more likely
to be opposed, though like all well organized movements, it will seek to
exploit any opportunity for safe swift advancement of the agenda. In the case of
the American Fifth Column, its agents see the America of the past as being
no longer viable for the future and therefore, seek change not only in
direction, but in fundamental belief systems in order to make room for more
so-called progressive ideas. At the base,
the American Fifth Column is not happy with the results of capitalism,
otherwise known as economic freedom. While “fair,” the results of economic
freedom are not “equal” for all. Like those
they represent and support, and those whose ideas they adopted to replace
Americas founding principles, they do not see people as individuals with
individual dreams and desires, or individual talents, aspirations and
abilities, all of which naturally result in varied individual outcomes. The American
Fifth Column seeks to subvert fundamental American principles and values,
which they see as out-dated and unfair, in order to usher in a new era of
broader progressive “equality” whereby the fruits of ones own labor
are not his own, but to be used for a greater common good. This
greater good is not limited to the American people. It encompasses a
global greater good, paid for by Americas most productive individuals,
ultimately at the expense of true freedom and liberty itself.
Citizenship
There is an issue, rarely discussed in the news, which has critical
implications for our national security and political sovereignty. The United
States is one of the most permissive countries in the world with regard to
dual citizenship. Our government recognizes dual citizenship and tolerates
multiple citizenships. How did it come to this? According to the U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 8, it
is the job of the legislative branch to establish a uniform Rule of
Naturalization. Most people are familiar with, in one form or another, the
oath of citizenship which must be taken by all immigrants who wish to become
United States citizens. Following a pattern set in 1795, our naturalization
law, spells out the oath to which a new citizen must swear: "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely
renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince,
potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a
subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws
of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear
arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will
perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when
required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under
civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation
freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God." So how can an immigrant take such a citizenship oath and still maintain
citizenship in a foreign country?

Cloward-Piven Strategy
First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists
Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy"
seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government
bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into
crisis and economic collapse. Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black
district of Watts in Los Angeles, Cloward and Piven published an article
titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in the May 2,
1966 issue of The Nation. In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged
that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a
social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can
advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The
New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with
government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to
sabotage and destroy the welfare system; the collapse of the welfare state
would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation;
poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society"
accept their demands.
