Here we are in 2009, on the brink of economic collapse. The left is intent upon destruction of the CIA, teaming up with it's new internal security aparatus(DHS, FBI and the UN?). I don't know. The book was written in 1973 - Diggins - "The Rise and Fall of the American Left". Diggins examined the Left dealing with the intellectual and social movements, addressing the Old Left, especially that of the emerging Soviet Russia(Trading Czars for Commissars), the international implications, SPI, American Labor and the empowerment of Roosevelt, going underground after the last run for the US Presidency by the CP/USA- Earl Browder, 1940, and Socialist party USA in the many candicacy's of various and assundry personalities.
None of these appear to be as effective as the submergence and re-emergence in which we see the likes of Bill Ayers and Van Jones holding such influential
roles in any adminstration since the inception of the now defunct Republic in 1789.
But that isn't so much what I want to impart today. It doesn't matter that they have begun dismantling the smaller form of the Republic(which was the intended form) by introducing vast new bureaucracies which will take over ownership of the the complete economy by government agency. Sounds like a 7 year plan.
In 1991, as Bill Clinton began his run for the Oval Office, and later in 95, the Assault Weapons Ban was of major import. Opposition was strong enough to have a sunset law provision and it did just that. It appears the strategy has shifted -- Homeland Security, Foreign investigation by internal agency investigation agency, namely the FBI, various policies to keep firearms or the ability to use them as the Constitution intended -- by legislation which makes ammunition difficult to obtain for the weapons owned, etc.
But let's look at the overall picture as painted in 1996.
Here is Claire Wolfe's address to the Libertarian Party Convention in Arizona in 1996. All the while this has been going on (All of my life), there have been those who have understood the threat: Claire is one of those people. I have added her old blog to my own. It is outdated but contains valuable insight, references that may be needed, and pointer's to the Hardyville "fictional locale" somewhere out there in America.
Here are Claire's remarks at this site: take the time to read them.
best regards,
