Killing America

Frederick R Smith has moved to Frederick R. Smith Speaks (substack.com)

Published in 2012, Killing America is a unique form of satire. It shows how we have progressed so much in the eight subsequent years. Before the 2020 Covid Progressive Rot Riot Age, we had a great economic boom and seems we all got along fine. Meanwhile, the progressive rage cooked in the background. Killing America illustrates the actions of this Marxist movement. We live in a despicable and unnecessary new normal. For critical thinkers, the Marxist agenda is no longer a hidden secret. Our progressive law makers make no attempt to denounce the looting, rioting, murder, and disruption. They have affection for their beloved “mostly peaceful protests.” A particular progressive congressperson proclaimed Antifa is a myth. The other side of the isle, with few exceptions, show weakness.

Currently those trying expose the truth about the 2020 Covid Progressive Rot Riot Age face a hellish resistance. They are subject to ridicule, censorship, violence, doxing, job loss, and death. The progressives in the media and law-making organs claim the truthers are homophobic, transphobic, racist, misogynic, xenophobic, climate denier, Karen, Covid deniers, alt-right, ad nauseum. Shout and shut down your adversary to avoid the facts. It is a dangerous society when open and honest debate is no longer possible. In the years leading up the Progressive Rot Riot Age, conservative pundits faced danger. They endured shout down and expulsion from events at colleges and universities. So, I have an added item for the Progressive Playbook – shut down and shout over people who know history, values, and morals.

I would like to thank Jersey Bill for sending his wonderful book to the Fred R Smith Blog for posting. Enjoy this very entertaining and special edition of Fredrick R. Smith Speaks.

KILLING AMERICA

The Progressive Playbook

Jersey Bill, 2012

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Progressive leaders and institutions that have shaped the Progressive Agenda and are committed to Killing America. They are too numerous to mention, but they include names like Clinton, Gore, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Frank, Dodd, Reid, Durbin, Sharpton, Jackson, many members of the Black Congressional Caucus, most large city mayors, Fannie and Freddie, ACORN, SEIU, the National Education Association, other public unions, Hollywood, most of the media, and college professors everywhere.

DEDICATION

To today’s college graduates, college and high school students, and other young Americans who, with the help of their Progressive teachers and professors, have selflessly, unflinchingly and unquestioningly agreed to do without jobs, dramatically lower their standard of living, and take on trillions of dollars of debt to pay for the Progressive Agenda.

Stated Philosophy

America is evil. It was founded on slavery. It stole the land of Native Americans. It committed genocide. It poisoned the earth. It usurped the world’s resources. It took over countries and stole their riches. It started wars. It killed the black, brown and yellow populations worldwide. Today, America enslaves African Americans. It kills gay people. It subjugates women. It starts wars. It is hateful, greedy, corrupt, homicidal, avaricious, homophobic, and sexist. It rapes the earth. It has caused the oceans to rise and the earth to fry. It executes innocent minorities. It kills immigrants. It steals wealth from the middle class and gives it to corrupt businessmen. It keeps poor people poor as the rich grow richer. America is evil. It is the worst country on earth. It needs to be punished. It must be killed.

This Progressive Playbook explains how we will do this.

Unstated Objective

We are the Progressive Power Elite. We want power. Power over all American institutions. The power to create a new world and the power to destroy the old. Economic power. Political power. Cultural power. It is power that will enable us to assume all policy-making authority regarding all aspects of American life, and decision making authority over the lives of every American.

This will not be easy. We need to create a new belief system in America. We will undermine and destroy those institutions that foster the power of the individual, and we will replace them with institutions that promote the supremacy of the State.

This is the Progressive Agenda.

Specifically, we will move from the old to the Progressive, radically altering and forcibly removing evil forces that are in our way. Examples include the following:

Three Phases

We are talking about Change. Big change. Change of this magnitude will require a phased approach. In Phase 1, we will focus on such strategies as Media, Entertainment, Education, Race, Marriage, and the Courts. In this phase, we will create a new generation of dependency. We will turn citizens who once depended on themselves, their families, and traditional institutions, into people who expect their well-being to come from the State. The goal of this phase is to ensure that the majority of American citizens are unmotivated, lack the skills to succeed on their own, cannot think critically, and pay no taxes. We will rely on these dependent people to vote into office those Progressive lawmakers who, in turn, will tax away the wealth of the rich minority for the benefit of the dependent majority.

In Phase 2, we will mobilize the foot soldiers created in Phase 1 to overwhelm the financial resources of the United States with demands that cannot be fulfilled. We will use the rhetoric of hope and change to create unreachable expectations, and then we will use the tools of envy and class warfare to blame the rich and their traditional institutions for these expectations going unmet. This will lead to social chaos and financial meltdown that we need to cause traditional institutions, already under enormous stress from Phase 1, to finally crumble and cease to exist. We will take over private companies and entire industries that we will have demonized, subpoenaed, strangled with new regulations, taxed excessively, and rendered unable to compete with the State.

It is then in Phase 3 that the Progressive Power Elite will have the mandate to create a new and complete Socialist/Marxist system. This will require the continued direction of significant financial resources to lawmakers, judges, union leaders, media, and other parties that promote the Progressive Agenda. The State takeovers of companies and industries will provide enough cash to meet our expressed goals — and continue to provide us with the enormous personal riches we began to enjoy in Phase 1!

Strategies:

How do we do all this? Through the aggressive pursuit of seventeen strategies. They are interrelated and are equally important. We must recognize that our intent in each must be cloaked with carefully-scripted words and messages so as to avoid raising undue suspicion, at least in the beginning. We will rely on the non-controversial themes of fairness, equality, choice, level playing field, hope, change, paying one’s fair share, non-judgmental, and tolerance to mask the radical nature of the Progressive revolution we will unleash.

Media:

We will take over the media. We will ensure that 95% of editors, writers, and commentators are Progressive. We will blur opinion and fact. We will pose as independent while aggressively promoting the Progressive Agenda, Progressive policies, and Progressive politicians. We will attack any media source that offers an opinion not our own. We will stifle dissent. We will vilify those we disagree with. We will pass laws restricting the right of other sources to preach against our agenda. We will adopt the Fairness Doctrine and its more powerful stepchildren. We will use the media as a tool to help affect all the strategies below.

Entertainment:

Controlling the entertainment industry is critical. We will erode and then destroy all forms of restraint, such as codes for “decency” related to sex and violence. We will help create and promote shows, especially aimed at young people, which attack traditional values and institutions. We will expose the evils of parents, police, clergy, and other authority figures while extolling the virtues of casual sex, teen pregnancy, abortion, underage drinking, and drug use.

Religion:

Secularism is the only real religion. Organized, traditional religion must be destroyed. We will drive religion from all aspects of American life. We will vilify religious leaders and religious followers. We will pass laws that erode the first amendment. We will preach fairness to all people, while we marginalize religious people. We will promote Atheism as the only rational and acceptable belief system. We will pass laws to protect the rights of Satanists, pagans, witches, vampires, and other forms of legitimate expression. We will promote the LGBT agenda as a religion, and we will regard any disagreement with it as a blatant form of religious repression that will be punished.

We will aggressively enforce and expand the separation of church and state. We will attack any politician who expresses any form of belief in Judeo-Christian teaching unless she or he is a Progressive and is using such belief to advance the Progressive Agenda. We will rely on the ACLU to continue to remove crosses, the 10 commandments, religious music, and religious displays from the public square. We will continue the war on Christmas and the campaign to expose the evils of Christianity.

We will force all religious institutions to comply with all federal regulations. There will be no exclusions or waivers based on religious beliefs. We will remove the tax exemptions now provided to places of worship and religious institutions.

Education:

We will take over K — 12 education. We will drive out all vestiges of prayer or religious observance, whether in the classroom, assemblies, or graduation ceremonies. We will fire religious teachers. We will ban any use of the bible or other religious books. Our textbooks will be chosen based on how aggressively they promote the Progressive Agenda. We will ignore U.S. history and civics, except for Slavery and Community Organizing. We will teach kids that they are victims of a repressive America and that they need to elect Progressive politicians who will provide for their material and emotional needs.

We will hold back high achievers because they represent inequality. We will make sure all kids pass and get good grades. We will teach less math, reading, and science because America must not be able to maintain an unfair advantage over the third world countries it has suppressed. We will promote cooking and nurturing for boys and medicine and decision making for girls. We will concentrate on racism, sexism, homophobia, environmentalism, and America’s leading role in destroying the earth and its people. We will stop teaching children to think on their own; rather, we will teach them to believe only in the Progressive Agenda and to enjoy the outcomes it bestows on them.

We will support only public schools. We will increase salaries and benefits for public school teachers and administrators, recognizing that a significant percentage of this spending returns to Progressive lawmakers in the form of campaign contributions. We will demonize and aggressively attack school choice, charters, homeschooling, and all other forms of “reform,” as these models siphon money and students from the public schools, our primary vehicles for educating children on the values and superiority of the Progressive Agenda.

Colleges:

We will ensure 95%+ of all professors and administrators are Progressives. We will promote diversity in all aspects of higher education except politics and religion. We will promote more aggressive and militant forms of curricula based on sexism, racism, socialism, and environmentalism that we started in K-12. All college students will learn the evils of global warming, the superiority of women, the wholesomeness of the LGBT agenda, the merits of Socialism over capitalism, the evils of business and free enterprise, and the supremacy of the State over the individual. We will enforce strict speech codes to ensure that those who disagree with the Progressive Agenda or challenge it in any way, are removed from the college community. We will make education free for all, and we will forgive all student indebtedness except for those graduates pursuing a business, religious or military career.

Unions:

We will pass laws that make unionization easier, and we will dramatically curtail the power of management and corporations. We will award all government contacts to union shops, and we will pay a higher prevailing wage for all government contracts. We will pass “Card Check” so that secret ballots do not interfere with unionization efforts. We will turn back so-called “right to work” efforts. We will give no federal contracts to businesses that operate in “right to work” states, nor will a government-sponsored convention ever be held in such a state. We will militantly fight back any effort to reduce the power, pay, or benefits of public unions. Progressive politicians will continue to pass union-friendly legislation and award lucrative union contracts, while public unions will continue to show their appreciation to these politicians with generous campaign contributions and “get out the vote” mobilizations. ACORN will be fully funded by the government. In government-led bankruptcy proceedings, unions will continue to leapfrog legitimate creditors and, like in GM and Chrysler, be given major equity positions in the companies. The government and the media will continue to ignore any charges of bribery, paybacks, financial malfeasance, voter fraud, or voter intimidation involving any union management or rank and file.

We will aggressively support public school unions. We will defeat any attempts at “reform,” including those involving tenure, teacher evaluations, school evaluation, merit pay, and seniority. We must maintain the synergistic relationship between support for the public schools and campaign contributions for Progressive politicians.

Race:

We will continue to position ourselves as the only leaders that can logically represent the interests of African American, Latinos, and other racial and ethnic minorities. We will continue to preach that any form of inequality -- in standards of living, housing, wealth, pay, educational attainment, test scores, health, imprisonment, and so forth -- is the direct result of white racism. We will continue to pass favorable legislation related to lending, pay, hiring, promotions, housing, school admissions, and proportionate representation in all organizations and institutions. We will aggressively promote legislation regarding reparations, quotas, and disparate impact.

We will continue to condemn the innate racism of the police and the justice system. We will attack any discussion of personal responsibility and poor lifestyle choices as racist. We will continue to hold back white student performance and promote white single motherhood in order to achieve racial equality. We will continue to present government as the remedy for minority victimization, and we will continue to enjoy the overwhelming support of minority voters.

Gender:

We will continue to make abortion on demand legal for the full nine months of pregnancy. We will make all abortions free. We will force all insurance companies, if any remain in operation after we enact a full government takeover of the healthcare industry, to provide free abortions and contraceptives to all women. We will allow no waiver to any religious institution trying to avoid paying for abortions by using phony “religious freedom” or “conscience” objections. We will continue to focus on the victimization of and harm done to women by marriage and all other institutions. The media will continue to educate our society on the unending epidemic of violence against women and the LGBT community. We will focus on the lack of achievement of women and the glass ceiling that holds all women back. We will promote the sexual freedom of women, but we will continue to condemn businessmen and politicians who have sex with female coworkers, even when consensual, except if the man is a Progressive and a vocal advocate for unrestricted abortion.

Marriage:

We will attack marriage from all directions. We will depict marriage as an institution that enslaves women and makes them the sexual property of men. We will depict fathers as wife beaters and child abusers. We will promote single motherhood, and we will provide mothers with the resources that fathers traditionally have provided. We will pay for all abortions and provide free full-day daycare. We will legalize gay marriage and will condemn any public utterance that there is any difference between having a mother and a father vs. two fathers or two mothers. Any business or other organization that does not support gay marriage will be put out of operation. The support of our Media, Schools, Colleges, Courts and other strategies will be critically important in this attack on marriage.

Family:

The traditional family is a menace that threatens the Progressive Agenda. We cannot tolerate the existence of a social unit that promotes self-reliance and provides for the caring, growth and well-being of its members, as these responsibilities belong to the State and only the State. We will depict families as dysfunctional sources of pain and abuse. Culturally, we will promote activities and images that lead family members to spend time alone and away from each other. We will continue to promote policies that hinder the creation of traditional black families, and we will seek to bring single motherhood in white families up to the same percentage as that in minority families.

Government Spending:

We will spend more and more on social programs, especially welfare, health and reproductive services, public education, green technologies, and public infrastructure. We will continue to cut defense to below European levels, as the military has been an enabler of American aggression and imperialism. We will ignore the alarmists who decry yearly, trillion-dollar spending deficits. We will not reduce spending on Social Security, Medicaid , and Medicare, and when politically expedient, we will promise to increase spending on these programs. As always, we will accuse the Right of wanting to cut these programs because of their utter disregard for the poor and their slavish devotion to wealth creation for the rich. We will nationalize all facets of healthcare, making it free for all citizens except the wealthy who will pay sizeable tax premiums for their mandatory, single-payer government coverage.

We will ignore calls to reduce the build-up of long-term deficits. We know these debts will never be paid back, to either foreign or domestic holders of our national debt. One of the benefits of this indebtedness is that it will continue to provide a convenient rationale for higher taxation. More importantly, it will eventually topple our financial foundation. It will create both global economic chaos and huge defense vulnerabilities, two calamities from which a weakened America will not recover. These are key milestones on the path to Killing America.

Government Policy:

Government Policy will aim at destroying capitalism and free enterprise. We will attack and destroy the private sector. We will depict all private industry as an evil, uncaring, ineffective, corrupt, and rapacious. We will focus first on healthcare, oil, pharmaceuticals, banking, and insurance.

We will nationalize these one by one. At first, we will be careful not to interfere with those industries that philosophically and economically support our Progressive Agenda. These include media, entertainment, legal, and high tech -- though these industries in Phase 3 will be taken over as well.

We will continue to use the scare of global warming to effect huge shifts of capital from the private sector to the State. We will prop up green industries with tax incentives and mandates regarding the usage of renewable energy. We will award our financial supporters with guaranteed loans and grants. We will use the EPA to impose regulations, fees, and taxes that will make carbon-intensive producers unprofitable. We will prohibit domestic exploration and production. All of this will produce enormous new income streams for Progressive politicians and our new industrial partners. These new industries will have State leadership, management, and ownership, though we will need to make this opaque in the beginning. We will weaken traditional industries, put hostile companies out of business, create green jobs with which to reward our friends, and create widespread economic turmoil and high unemployment. These events, in turn, will provide ammunition for class warfare and cause higher demands for yet more State intervention.

Taxation:

Radical wealth redistribution will be the hallmark of our system of taxation. We will ensure a majority of our citizens pay no income tax. To do this, we will rely on high unemployment, low wages, the manipulation of tax rates, or all three. This will create a reliable voting block that will keep Progressives in office while forcing the wealthy to pay their fair share. We will use class warfare to keep this majority of citizens angry and volatile, and we will direct their anger at the wealthy. We will avoid stating what we believe the top income tax rate should be, but initially, we will restore the 70% level from the pre-Reagan era , and then we will move higher.

We will phase out all deductions for state and local taxes, mortgage payments, and charitable contributions. We will demonize charitable organizations, for they usurp the role of the State in providing what citizens need. We will use our media allies to help us equate paying taxes to helping the needy. We will demonize those who give to charity as being selfish and only wanting the charitable deduction. We will equate giving to the State with the Judeo-Christian message of giving to the poor, even invoking the gospels where beneficial.

Politics:

We will continue to attack our rivals without mercy. We will denigrate them personally, investigate every aspect of their lives, threaten their families and friends, smear them at every turn, and fabricate harmful “facts” when we must. We will not work with them or seek a middle ground.

Politics may have once been “the art of compromise” — but no longer.

We will ensure all immigrants, legal and illegal, have the right to vote. We will attack as racist any attempt to impose voter identification schemes or inspect voter registration rolls. We will suppress the military vote and use absentee votes to increase our ranks. We will register felons and prisoners. We will hire ACORN and public union members to mobilize voter registration and turnout.

Workplace:

We will continue to impose new regulations and aggressively enforce existing ones. We will use disparate impact in all hiring and promotions, and we will enforce gender and sexual-preference quotas at every level. We will forcibly remove white males from leadership positions, especially at the upper management and board levels, as a means to address past racism. As with colleges, we will impose diversity mandates across the entire workforce except as they relate to conservative politics and traditional religions.

Courts:

We will erode the U.S. constitution by enshrining rights that are not stated in the document and abrogating those that are. The Supreme Court and lower courts will increasingly include international laws in their opinions. We will impose a living constitution on America. We will fully cooperate with the United Nations, which will be our primary partner related to international law, global economics, treaties, and international affairs. We will elect and appoint Progressive judges who will militantly rule from the bench and ensure that each strategy of the Progressive Agenda is enforced.

Related to the College strategy, we must continue to ensure that all U.S. law schools are seedbeds of radical Progressive thought. It is within these schools that 95%+ of presidents, legislators, and judges will hone their Progressive thinking and jurisprudence.

Separation of Powers:

The White House, Congress and the judiciary will no longer be “separate but equal.” No more “checks and balances.” The three branches will work closely together to advance the Progressive Agenda. We will elect emotive and charismatic presidents who can articulate the Progressive Agenda convincingly. The President will surround him or herself with unelected czars who will sidestep the typical congressional approval processes and serve as militant policy creators and enforcers. The President will no longer enforce laws that are contrary to Progressive thought. Legislators will draft laws in accordance with Progressive objectives. The judiciary will overturn any law passed that does not comport with the Progressive Agenda.

Conclusion and Call to Action:

The time is now. The Progressive Agenda is real, and our seventeen Progressive Playbook strategies have already proven to be enormously effective. We made huge advances in the 1960s. We kept hope alive through 2008, by which time we had seized the White House and both houses of Congress! We will do so again in 2012. Four more years will allow us to hasten our progress toward the ultimate goal: Killing America!
