During the height of the Cold War, political theorist and former FBI employee Cleon Skousen authored “The Naked Communist” which outlined a concerted effort to overcome and control all of the world’s governments through the implementation of social progressivism and by undermining American foreign policy through the promotion of internationalism and pacifism. Although I generally do not subscribe to conspiracy theories, let’s take a look at what the author predicted sixty- five years ago, I think you will be amazed.
During remarks made on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1963 the Honorable A.S. Herlong, Jr. of Florida summarized the book’s methodology of turning capitalism into a communist–socialist state. In the interest of brevity, I will not list them all but just the more salient points and let you down your own conclusions.
#17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of the teacher’s associations.
#18. Gain control of student newspapers at universities.
#20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, and policymaking positions.
#21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
#25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
#26 Present degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy.”
#27 Infiltrate the churches and replace religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
#28 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 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 Discredit the American Founding Fathers, presenting them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
#32 Support any social movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture – education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
#40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
#41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to the suppressive influence of parents.
#42 Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate of the American tradition; that student and special–interest groups should rise up and use “united force” to solve economic, political, or social problems.

For years, the U.S. Military has utilized information operations “actions taken to influence, disrupt, corrupt or usurp adversarial human and automated decision making while defending one’s own information and information systems.” This is currently being done by infiltrating school boards, mainstream and social media, Hollywood, professional sports, schools, and universities – the socialists are winning the information war in America. Conservative and religious groups are suppressed to communicate thoughts and messages.
Is it too late for America to recover? No. But the socialists are not targeting me to change, they are just waiting for my generation to fade away. They are focused on the youth in America; trying to convince them the freedoms we currently enjoy in America are outdated and their way is better. Don’t allow the death of freedom and liberty in America. Once it is gone it will never return.

Dear “ECDOLEMAN,” sorry my friend but the “Naked Communist” is not “fake.” The book has been reprinted several times and it has sold more than one million copies.
BFD.
The Naked Communist is a 1958 anti-communist book by American faith-based political theorist W. Cleon Skousen, a former FBI employee. The main subject of the book is an alleged communist plot to overcome and control all of the world’s governments through the implementation of social progressivism and by undermining American foreign policy through the promotion of internationalism and pacifism. The early chapters of the book cover the philosophy of Marxism and Soviet Communism as well as some of the history of communist power in various countries including the Soviet Union, China and Cuba.
So a former FBI guy published a compilation of Marxist writings.
And the goobers ate it up.
You really need to pay attention. The “document” you cite as being some sort of commie plan to take over the US has been shown time and time again to be a fake, likely generated by the John Birch Society.
When it first surfaced, it was alleged to have been a Russian document found by US Army intelligence personnel in Germany in the aftermath of WW II. Since then, it has been associated with various claims as to its origin.
It’s fake. Of course, that does not stop you rightwing loons from using it.
The question you avoid in shooting the messenger is are the statements correct or not. By ignoring the various observations, you are avoiding having to debate the reality. Quite ideologically progressive of you.
ECD, I consistently ask those here who make assertions to provide a reference for their statements. Left, right, “loon” as you say, I’m an equal opportunity doubter. I just did an albeit abbreviated search for anything to support your statement and came up empty. So now I will respectfully ask the same of you. Would you please be so kind as to provide a credible reference for your posted statements?
You must not have searched very much, if at all.

Snopes… plffttt … I liked when they tried to evade the issue of whether Obama said that he visited all 57 states. It was caught on video so your bullshit source couldn’t deny it. Instead they tried to turn it into something about the claim that it pertained to Islam.
Did Barack Obama Say He Had Visited 57 (Islamic) States?
Snopes

Claim: During a 2008 campaign stop, Barack Obama said that he had visited “57 states,” a reference to 57 Islamic states.
That is not the issue.. rather they turned it. The issue is that such a brilliant man should know that there are 50 states.. instead they deflect with the Islam issue.
Stick your snopes up your ass.
Your reference is to something ostensibly found in 1919 called “ Communist Rules for Revolution”. The book referenced above was first published in 1959. There are also only 10 points in the book you are alluding to vs many more in “The Naked Communist”. There would seem to be a reason my admittedly abbreviated search on specifically TNC didn’t hit on anything you mentioned. They don’t seem to be the same thing other than perhaps similar in content. And unlike D’M, although I don’t take Snopes as the end all for information, I do tend to use Snopes as a go to source when something is presented as fact.
I respond to your comment with the words of Senator Fetterman:
ER ER ER GOO GOO GOO UH UH DUH DUH GOO GOO
Duh! Oh! Homer Simpson! 😌🙈
