Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
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:
[From "The Naked Communist," by
Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only
alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in
preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total
disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations
regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items
could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and
Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations
regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission
of Red China to the U.N.
8. 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. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic
tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as
negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual
representation in the U.N.
11. 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. Resist any attempt to outlaw the
Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S.
Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political
parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to
weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil
rights.
17. 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. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public
protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of
book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio,
TV, and motion pictures.
22. 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. Control art critics and directors of art
museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless
art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by
calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free
press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality
by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures,
radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and
promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. 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. 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.
Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common
man."
31. 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. Support any socialist movement to give
centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies,
welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which
interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on
Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the
FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more
unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big
business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest
from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as
psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and
use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who
oppose Communist goals.
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 suppressive influence of parents.
42. 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. Overthrow all colonial governments before
native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. 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.
Worth posting again, just to see who comes out of the
woodwork to tell us none of this is really happening.
There are no communist boogeymen, there are
no communist boogeymen, there are no communist boogeymen...
"Gentlemen, Comrades, do not be
concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in
the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no
significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic
purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall
asleep".
-- Mikhial Gorbachev, former President of the
Soviet Union, to the Politburo in November of 1987.

Sounds like a plan or DemocRAT talking points to me.
The only question is if they have managed to
gain control of BOTH Political Parties.

This list is from the book "The naked
Communist", read as an excerpt from that book into the Congressional
record. The book was written by an ardent anti-communist. There has never, to
the best of my knowledge, been any corroboration of the Kremlin's creation of
these goals.
My guess is that these goals, written by
Skousen, are his vision of what was happening in America at the time, and how
these things could lead to Communism.
In fact, Soviet communism is dead as we knew
it, and the Chinese are something other than Communists at this point.
I imagine these 45 goals as being similar to
environmentalists retroactively writing a list of items (emissions,
deforestation, etc) and claim that they would lead to an increase in hurricane
activity after the hurricane seasons of the last several years, then holding
their list up as proof that they were right because there has been an increase
in hurricanes these past several years.

"The only question is if they have

Looking closely, the RNC is partly controlled, but not entirely.

Strange how many of those "goals" are evident
in today's US society. Many of them are "talking points" for the ACLU
and without FreeRepublic, Rush, Sean and O'Reilly we wouldn't have the ability
to see these threats to our way of life.
I've always believed that Clinton was groomed
to be our first Communist President and he was to have presided over the US's
surrender to Marxist/Leninist hegemony. However, Reagan won and he and the
Commies lost. Ha! Ha!
Now we need to get Bin Laden!(and Pelosi,
Reid, Durbin, Kennedy and the rest of their ilk.)
