) Jerry BoykinJuly 2, 2012 'The things done in every Marxist insurgency are being done in America today'Earlier this year, a former senior Pentagon official who has battled Marxism around the globe released a video warning that Barack Obama is following in the footsteps of Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and others who have led communistrevolutions in their nations. Retired Lt. Gen. William G. Jerry Boykin, a decorated former Delta Forcecommander, U.S. deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence and PurpleHeart recipient, explained in the video a six-step plan used by revolutionaries tobring about Marxism elsewhere and drew parallels to Obamas actions in the U.S.Boykins warning resounds eerily today in particular, as the nation is reeling fromthe Supreme Courts decision to uphold a massive federal overhaul of health care and on the anniversary of Obamas pledge to establish a national civilian security force two events Boykin warned were markers of a Marxist insurgency in other nations.We hear a lot about Marxism and socialism, and there are those, particularly in the media, who would say that we should tone down our rhetoric aboutsocialism because were not moving to socialism, Boykin states in the video.Well, The reality is Ive studied Marxist insurgency. It was part of my training.And the things I know that have been done in every Marxist insurgency are beingdone in America today.Boykin laid out a step-by-step plan he says is the model of how Fidel Castroinstituted Marxism in Cuba, Mao Zedong in China, Stalin in Russia and HugoChavez in Venzeula:1. Nationalize major sectors of the economy2. Redistribute wealth3. Discredit opposition4. Censors opposing viewpoints 5. Control gun ownership6. Develop a constabulary force to control civilian populationBoykin then illustrates how each of these steps have begun to materialize in theU.S.: From a form of nationalization through government bailouts, to hatecrime legislation aimed at silencing the pulpits, to the federal governmentlabeling tea partiers and veterans returning from overseas as potential domesticterrorists, to efforts underway to get the U.S. on board with a United Nationssmall arms treaty, which would regulate private gun ownership.Boykin takes particular aim at Obamas Patient Protection and Affordable CareAct, which he says federal administrators have already admitted is awealth-redistribution plan (step No. 2) and he says includes within its 1,000pages plans for national security forces at the presidents disposal, akin tonational police forces socialist tyrants like Adolf Hitler used to complete their revolutions.Specifically, Boykin alluded to a speech Obama made four years ago today, inColorado Springs, Colo., on July 2, 2008, in which he pledged to establish acivilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just aswell-funded [as the U.S. military]. Video of Obamas speech can be seen below: You need to understand this is happening in America, and it fits the model thathas been used when societies have moved to Marxism, Boykin claims.It should be a matter of great concern, he says. Get out and do something tohelp stop this. Use the constitutional tools that our Founding Fathers gave us. Letyou congressman know how you feel about this. Be a pain in their neck byconstantly emailing and calling them. Find candidates that represent your valuesas a Constitution-believing American, and get out and get active in some of thesemovements that are trying to reverse whats happing in America.
