The level of disconnect between the Congress and the American people has never been so stark.

Ethics investigations are looking into corruption of federal legislators.

Citizens wonder why the economy seems to be undermined by proposed laws two thousand pages long with provisions that deny liberty and freedom.

The answer may be found in the Cloward-Piven Strategy.

Set forth in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation magazine, two Columbia University professors, Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven described methods of forced political change.

The profs wrote that by overloading the government bureaucracy with a series of legislative spending the system could be taken down and collapse due to economic pressure.

Cloward and Piven were preseded and influenced by "Rules for Radicals" author, Saul Alinsky.

"Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Alinsky wrote.

" When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one."
