Firefighters, first responders and other groups march on the National Mall in Washington DC in opposition to COVID-19 mandates. Organizers have called the event “Defeat the Mandates: An American Homecoming” and they say it will include speakers such as anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. SCHEDULE:
1730GMT – Speeches, music performances
Are you confused about the chaos in American streets? Do you wonder why Democrat city mayors, governors and other leaders are doing nothing about it? You’re being played—and it’s worse than you could ever have imagined.
U.S. cities are burning up and hollowing out. Statues of America’s Founding Fathers are being defaced or torn down. The formerly fair and balanced American press has become unapologetically aligned with the left. Freedom of speech on college campuses is dead. Illegal immigrants enjoy citizenship rights. Professional athletes are savaging the American flag and Way of Life that made them multimillionaires. Police departments are being defunded as U.S. citizens frantically arm themselves.
Yet none of this should surprise anyone who has been paying attention.
For many years Americans have been warned that a plot to subvert America really was unfolding, and that we needed conviction and courage to confront it before it reached critical mass. Sadly, however, Americans never seem to react in a timely manner to an existential threat like Hitler, Hirohito or Osama Bin Ladin.
Early Warnings
Decades ago, on April 3, 1969, writer G. Edward Griffin, author of The Fearful Master and nearly 50 other books, lectured about this effort to subvert America. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLV7KU0Bo2k.) As early as 1928 international communism identified exploiting race relations in the U.S. as the key to this plot. Griffin explained that the purpose of the widespread riots of 1968 and 1969 was to compel the U.S. to move gradually and legally toward socialism and that the building of socialism in America was the communist revolution. Griffin was especially concerned with black studies programs—which teach a revisionist, Marxist view of U.S. history that paradigmatically frames whites as oppressors and blacks as perpetual victims and encourages a separate black national identity—that then were gaining traction at American universities. 
In the early 1980s, former KGB operative and defector Yuri Bezmenov (aka Tomas Schuman) instructed that the Soviets were waging total psychological warfare against the U.S., employing the strategy of the ancient Chinese military theorist Sun Tzu that subversion—destroying your enemy from within—was superior to military conquest. (See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avbIhMi9OWg.) Bezmenov explained that the ultimate purpose of subversion was to negate the common sense and critical faculties of American citizens so thoroughly that they could not protect themselves. Subversion seeks to divide constituent social groups—blacks vs. whites, women vs. men, gays vs. heterosexuals—in order to spawn distrust, dissension and dysfunction (i.e., identity politics). U.S. members of academia, the media and Hollywood elites are responsible for most subversion.
Subversion comprises four sequential phases:
Subversion Tactics
Leftist activist and communist ally Saul D. Alinksy wrote two influential books prescribing specific tactics to destabilize and destroy America : Reveille for Radicals (1946) and Rules for Radicals (1971). Author and cultural commentator Larry Alex Taunton’s recent article “Understanding What Is Happening in America: A Christian Response” (see https://larryalextaunton.com/2020/07/understanding-what-is-happening-in-america-a-christian-response/) summarizes Alinsky’s key principles, denouncing his strategy as “evil.” Well-known Alinsky-style community organizers include Barack Obama and Jane Sanders, the wife of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Hillary Clinton wrote her college senior thesis on Alinksy.
Most importantly, Alinksy emphasized in Reveille that radicals do not seek to improve or reform an existing and functioning society. Rather, radicals strive to realize an abstract, visionary utopia—to “build the world of men’s dreams” (italics added). Radicals are devoted to “an eternal war” without either compromise or rules of fair play. And politics represent unconditional war.
Radicals devote their energies exclusively to seizing power. Radicals cultivate conflicts among the races, sexes and social strata to destabilize, but the issues they employ for so doing are not the issues with which they are genuinely concerned. Rather, and as one Alinsky proponent explained, “the issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” (Italics added.) Key Alinsky tactics include:
Riots Calculated to Bring America to “Crisis”
This backdrop frames the current escalating riots as an attempt by the radical left to bring America to the “crisis” stage of subversion coinciding with the November 3, 2020, election. The call to “defund” and “reimagine” policing aligns with this objective, amplifying general anxiety and instability. As the Claremont Institute’s Matthew J. Peterson recently argued in his article “The Democrat Party’s Riots” in The American Mind, the party cannot disown these riots now that their intensity and violence have escalated: “You built this. You refused to condemn it. You asked for this.” (See https://americanmind.org/post/the-democrats-riots/.)
In August 2020 historian Victor Davis Hanson stated that Joe Biden had struck a “devil’s bargain” with the radical left, and that the Democratic Party had mortgaged its soul to sponsor chaos on America’s streets in the hope of generating political capital. And in a hearing recently before the House Judiciary Committee, Attorney General William Barr challenged any Democrat member to denounce burning a federal courthouse. None responded.
The choice in November 2020 is not between Donald Trump and a candidate with a more conventional personality. Neither Ronald Reagan nor John F. Kennedy is on the ballot. Instead, the choice is between a free, economically vibrant America, with vast horizons and unrealized potential, and a dark, impoverished state peopled by classes of putative oppressors and victims, obsessed with contrived grievances and reparations, disavowing God, and deprived of every precious civil liberty and property right that our Constitution has guaranteed for the past 233 years and for which countless American patriots have died.

Venezuela: Communists’ Dress Rehearsal
To fully appreciate the radical left’s plan for the U.S., you need to look no further than Venezuela. Author and journalist Dinesh D’Souza, in his recent book United States of Socialism (2020), draws seven parallels between the way communists took over and ultimately destroyed Venezuela and the subversive activities of the radical left in the U.S. today.
Decades ago, on April 3, 1969, conservative writer G. Edward Griffin, author of The Fearful Master and nearly 50 other books, lectured about this escalating menace. He said that as early as 1928 international communism identified precarious race relations in the U.S. as the focal point for subverting America. A 1958 book by former American communist Manning Johnson entitled Color, Communism, and Common Sense describes how Soviet communists recruited American blacks as “cannon fodder” for a bloody civil war calculated to destabilize and topple the U.S. government. Manning, who was black, relates his early affiliation with the Russian Communist Party as well as his training in Russia as a Marxist subversive. But he rejected communism when he realized that it ruthlessly exploited the grievances of blacks for revolutionary objectives, without regard for their welfare.
Griffin explained that the purpose of the widespread riots of 1968 and 1969 was to compel the U.S. to move the country “gradually and legally toward communism without calling it that…. The building of socialism is the communist revolution in America,” he warned. “It represents the process [by which] the country can be moved to communism without the people even being aware of it.” Griffin was especially concerned with black studies programs—which teach a revisionist, Marxist view of U.S. history that paradigmatically frames whites as oppressors and blacks as perpetual victims and encourages a separate black national identity—that at the time were being introduced into the curricula of American universities.
To fully appreciate the radical left’s plan for the U.S., you need to look no further than Venezuela. Author and journalist Dinesh D’Souza, in his recent book United States of Socialism (2020), draws seven parallels between the way communists took over and ultimately destroyed Venezuela and the subversive activities of the radical left in the U.S. today:
“When we consider the major themes of Venezuelan socialism,” says D’Souza, “we can see right away that every one of them parallels the themes of the American left.”
