"Cleon Skousen, a former FBI agent wrote 'The Naked Communist,' which was published in 1958. He listed 45 areas in which he believed Communist goals would be applied to radically transform America. A few years later, in 1963, Skousen’s list was entered into the U.S. Congressional Record by Congressman Albert S. Herlong Jr. (D-FL).
Since then, Skousen’s warning has been referred to numerous times, but apparently not heeded. Remarkably, his predictions about changing American hearts and minds through transforming public attitudes about social, economic, educational, military, and familial roles while also using the media to propagate false and misinformation are evident throughout every area of society in 2015 America.
In fact, Barack Obama’s 'Hope and Change' resembles most of what is described on this list. Perhaps he read it and took it to heart. Regardless, it is an indictment of generations of failed leadership both public and private, both individual and corporate, in America.
Below is a transcript of the U.S. Congressional Record taken from Appendix, pp. A34-A35, published on January 10, 1963."
'Current Communist Goals'
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
"Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following 'Current Communist Goals,' which she identifies as an excerpt from 'The Naked Communist,' by Cleon Skousen:"
1958 Goals Of The American Communist Party
1.) [Done following through with the UN's Agenda 2030] U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2.) [Done. U.S. has not had any resolve to win any war since 1945] U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3.) [Ongoing under Democrat Party] Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4.) [Ongoing under Progressives] Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5.) [Soviet Union no longer exists] Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6.) [Ongoing for a nation $19 trillion in debt] Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7.) [China has become a giant economic dragon in the world, looking to take down the American dollar and the UN with it] Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8.) [No longer an issue] 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.) [Technology and computer programs have eliminated the need] Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10.) [Soviet Union no longer exists] Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11.) [Ongoing under progressives and the new Catholic Pope] 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.) [Ongoing under the new Democrat Party] Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13.) [Now an option in public schools] Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14.) [See the .pdf document on the John Marshall Review Of Intellectual Property Law. 2015] Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15.) [Done for Democrat Party] Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
Democrat Socialist, Bernie Sanders, rips Trump's call to bar Muslim immigration until terrorist issues are straightened out. - MSNBC
"The Quiet Revolution: How the New Left Took Over the Democratic Party." - AmericanThinker
16.) [Done by an activist and now legislative U.S. Supreme Court in ruling on same-sex marriage laws that belonged to the states along with its approval of a socialist medical care system] Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17.) [Done] 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.) [Ongoing] Gain control of all student newspapers.
19.) [Ongoing and growing] Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20.) [Ongoing by the ASNE] Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21.) [Ongoing by the ASNE] Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22.) [Begun with mass elimination of Confederate symbols by the radicals on the Left even though those confederate symbols are protected by the U.S. Congress] 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.) [Ongoing with NEA] Control art critics and directors of art museums. 'Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.'
24.) [Basically Done] Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them 'censorship' and a violation of free speech and free press.
25.) [Basically Done] Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26.) [Done by U.S. Supreme Court] Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as 'normal, natural, healthy.'
27.) [Ongoing by supporters of the Democrat Party] 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.) [Done] Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.'
29.) [Ongoing by Democrats such as Charles Schumer of New York, NYC electing a Communist mayor] 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.) [Ongoing by Democrat Party] Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the 'common man.'
31.) [Done and ongoing by progressives and their liberal far-left syllabuses at universities and / or lesson plans in public schools K-12] Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the 'big picture.' Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32.) [Done. Started with Cloward & Piven in the 1980's sending thugs into social benefit offices in New York State and continued by Barack Obama national wide when becoming president. In other words, "If you want more permanent benefits to overwhelm the system, just ask and you shall receive." Note Democrats when abusing a system never use their own money.] Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33.) [Ongoing and done. U.S. security agencies protecting the U.S. have already been compromised through President Obama holding hands with terrorist groups CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, allowing them to rewrite training programs also backed by former State Department head Hillary Clinton. It would be like Billy The Kid being allowed to write laws for legally handing out money to certain bank robbers.] Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34.) [Done] Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35.) [Ongoing under the Obama administration and its protection of the Clinton Dynasty] Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39.) [Ongoing for evolving socialist agenda] Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40.) [Done by Democrat Party via Planned Parenthood being allowed into all public schools for decades under the faux excuse for sex education] Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41.) [Done by progressives in Democrat Party] 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.) [Done by Democrat Party and President Barack Obama, mentored by Communist Frank Marshall Davis, then promising in 2008 to fundamentally change the United States of America] Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43.) [Ongoing in UN with its Agenda 2030 and the Trilateral Commission] Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44.) [Done. Canal now in the hands of the Sandinista government that is working closely with the Chinese] Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45.) [Ongoing as Obama's AG, Loretta Lynch of the U.S. Justice Department, signed the Safe Cities Act, allowing the UN in emergencies to use local police as if UN forces.] 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.
(Webmaster note: In 1958 Skousen could have never dreamed that American Muslims would attempt to bring Sharia Law to America and why it is missing in his concerns. He focused on Russia because of the cold war at the time.)
(Webmaster comments have been added between [ ] on status of Slousen's goals by change in America. Color Key: Green comment for goal that no longer has any meaning, orange for ongoing Communist goal to change America and purple for Communist goal already accomplished.)

"Much has been said lately about Donald Trump’s presidential campaign that is rolling on in spite of his aggressively crude, in-your-face political rhetoric. But from his point of view, he is only seizing an opportunity handed to him on a silver platter.
(So when the ruling class and its media friends flim-flam the people for a long enough time, and impose major policy changes on them without their consent, you shouldn’t be surprised when a 'man on a white horse' rides out of nowhere and takes charge to the cheers of the multitudes.)
You could say that after seething with anger at the excesses of the political establishment for years, and after being repeatedly lied to by politicians (e.g., “read my lips” and “you can keep your doctor”), the people are angered to a point where they no longer listen to the familiar political babble. America is still the place to live, but trouble is brewing.
What is troubling the American people? Let us count the ways:
First:
Let’s start with money. America is spending itself into insolvency, and the government seems to think that destruction of people’s savings, which undermines the middle class, is a good thing. People are unable to save for their old age, while Social Security bids fair to run out of money before long. At the same time, big banks get interest free money from the Federal Reserve and charge double-digit interest rates on consumer credit card debt.
As this goes on, Joe Sixpack is lucky to get 0.02 percent on his bank savings account on which he has to pay taxes at a rate that may be higher than his employer’s. Good ol’ Joe may be a patient man, but do you think he will stand still for that sort of thing indefinitely, or will he turn into an angry Archie Bunker somewhere along the way?
Second:
In spite of rosy government statistics, American businesses are still laying off employees in order to replace them with cheaper foreign workers, or moving entire enterprises to other countries, thereby contributing to a gigantic and growing trade deficit. Trump has a point when he rails against the spectacle of foreign folks eating our lunch with impunity. Trade may be good, he says, but cheating at it is not.
Third:
Our Supreme Court justices, openly chosen for their partisan ideology, at times preempt the democratic process and impose outlandish notions (“emanational penumbras” anyone?) on a free country without any explicit constitutional basis, and without affording its people an opportunity to debate them to reach a consensus on whether they should be accepted as 'the law of the land.'
Fourth:
We confront an odd situation where, for some reason, even as socialism has been consistently a catastrophic failure all over the world, a significant part of the American population insists that we should embrace it. And so, an avowed septuagenarian Socialist from Brooklyn is piling up votes and has become a contender in a presidential election. Why? Because many people are so pissed off at traditional politicians that they would rather vote for him than for any traditional politicians who just aren’t trusted.
Fifth:
American educational institutions have declined to a point where they produce people who think that Winston Churchill was a Civil War general, and even at the college level believe that waving placards and loud repetition of fashionable slogans is tantamount to analysis. Thus, at the elite Yale University you can get into trouble if you want to wear a sombrero to a student party. For this, people have to pay tens of thousands of dollars per year and go into serious debt for life?
Sixth:
How could we possibly drift into embracing a foreign policy that fails to differentiate between our friends and our enemies, wastes lives and resources on increasingly pointless wars that make things worse, and pretends that ungovernable tribal savages in remote corners of the world, who have been killing each other for centuries (with particular attention devoted lately to persecuting Christians), can be transformed into civil societies by an abrupt 'regime change' brought to them at gun point by the U.S. Marines?
'Shores of Tripoli' this isn’t, and even if there are some surprising similarities, at least we didn’t then try to convert the Barbary Pirates to American values; we just kicked ass, persevered and eventually got our hostages back.
Seventh:
American press and broadcast media have become a cheering section, if not a propaganda arm, of the Democratic party, that often resorts to reader deception through omission and commission interwoven with the news. Understandably, they are in a state of decline.
Eighth:
We have (a) abandoned the idea of sovereignty and cultural cohesion by disregarding our immigration laws and for base economic and political reasons encouraging a mass migratory invasion across our southern border by millions of foreigners, with whom we are increasingly unable to deal, (b) we are facilitating an inflow of people whose status as potential 'sleeper' terrorists is de facto unascertainable, as the folks in San Bernardino learned the hard way, and (c) adding insult to injury, our government insists that people who use or support violence to suppress cultural, religious and ethnic minorities on their own turf, are practitioners of a 'religion of peace' whose compatibility with American values we must not question, even as corpses are piling up.
Ninth:
Our tax laws have grown so complex and convoluted that no one – not even the IRS – can understand and interpret them consistently, with the popular perception of them being that they can be manipulated by clever practitioners to their clients’ unfair advantage, while good ol’ Joe Sixpack has to pay his taxes full-pop, sometimes at a rate higher than his employer.
And last but not least:
How could the explicit constitutional mandate limiting takings of private property to “public use” been transmogrified into a process that routinely takes property from some private persons, often occupied by members of the working or middle classes, and in a display of reverse Robin Hoodery transfers it to more favored and certainly wealthier individuals, for the latter’s private gain? The Kelo case has had an astonishing and unanticipated impact on Americans’ understanding of how their government really operates – none of it for the good.
In the meantime, Congress is dysfunctional (how many speakers of the House have we had lately?), and operates as if its first duty were to compromise principle and common sense, and to transfer as much money as possible from the Treasury to the Congressfolks’ respective states and districts. (Remember the $390 million appropriation for a Golden Gate sized 'bridge to nowhere' on the godforsaken, sparsely populated Gravina Island in Alaska?).
But to accomplish that, the money first has to be transferred from the citizens’ pockets to the Treasury. So is it any wonder that sophisticated corporations that are able to do so, leave this country for foreign tax havens by using 'inversion' or just moving their money around.
Now along comes Donald Trump, takes it all in and concludes that the rising popular anger has reached a level where it can serve as accumulated political dynamite that he can set off, and use the released energy to propel himself into the White House. So as far as he is concerned, what’s not to like? And if the country’s political system, dysfunctional to begin with, is further damaged in the process, hey man, that’s how the political cookie crumbles. The democratic form of government may be great stuff, but to be effective and successful, it requires a measure of judgment and the consent of the governed.
So when the ruling class and its media friends flim-flam the people for a long enough time, and impose major policy changes on them without their consent, you shouldn’t be surprised when a 'man on a white horse' rides out of nowhere and takes charge to the cheers of the multitudes.
Just be glad that this time, it’s only Donald Trump. Given the past track record of the Washington establishment, and the pent up popular anger, it could have been worse."
