Hi, this is Dr. Pchenik, and today I want to talk about two separate phenomenons that appear to be completely opposite, but are really created by one man.
The first phenomenon is Black Lives Matter and the riots by the so-called intellectual elite students, and the opposite is the conservative Tea Party of the Republican Party.
Both of them were created by a gentleman by the name of Saul Alinsky.
Saul Alinsky was a Jew in Chicago who grew up between 1909 and 1970s.
Ironically, he was trained at the University of Chicago as an intellectual and a sociologist.
But really, he spent most of his time in Chicago as he grew up with the mafia.
He spent time with Al Capone, the Pritzkers, Saul Meyer Lansky, and a whole bunch of others.
The key to Saul Alinsky is that he wrote something called the Rules for Radicals, which says, number one, Get rid of education.
Number two, increase welfare so the American public is wealthier.
Number three, get rid of guns.
Number four, make sure that the debt is increased to the American public.
So you get the idea exactly what the rules of radicals was about, to make the American public dependent On the government.
Hillary Clinton wrote about it.
The left wing was inspired by an actually guys like Stokey Carmichael, who was the head of the black movement, said to Saul Alinsky, you know, we're going to use your principles and create a revolution against America.
Now here's where the contradiction came in and most of the left-wing radicals including Black Lives Matter and the intellectual elite really never understood Sololinsky.
He was a basic inspiration for the conservative Tea Party of the Republican Party.
What?
You say?
Correct.
And the reason for that is stated repeatedly in his treatises and in his conversations and his lectures was the fact that underlying all his premises, there had to be the viability of the United States and America as it stood as a construct and as a viable entity, a republic.
He was a strong believer in that America what was never talked about was the fact that he would not allow any of the radical theories to interfere with the normal process of American politics and in fact he became an activist and not so much a radical.
individual, he became a union organizer.
The reason I know this is because in my past life I used to work against unions or we would call it a union buster.
It wasn't something physical.
He did it with a law firm and at the same time I had to study Saul Alinsky because I had gotten into the business of agitation propaganda and that's what he proposed.
Ironically, again I repeat, he had influenced the conservative Tea Party of America.
And the reason he did that was his emphasis on America.
His emphasis on the notion that within America, we had internal change and the fact that in politics, you had to have what you could actually do at that particular moment.
In other words, you didn't acquire more power.
You didn't give away power.
As he said, power is not what you think you have.
Power is what your enemy thinks you have.
At the same time, his definition of tactics had influenced the conservative Tea Party, which was, he said that tactics is what you're able to do at that moment and nothing else.
The fact that he was an American first principal theoretician was very important to the rise of the conservative Republican Party.
And I, in fact, was influenced by that 20, 25 years ago.
Let me quote a man who is very important, George Santayana, who said, if you do not understand history, you will repeat the mistakes of history.
And that's what you're seeing in Black Lives Matter.
That's what you're seeing in the riots in Portland, Oregon and everywhere where the white so-called intellectual thinks he's going to make a major difference in America.
That's not going to happen.
