As
of
2002,
we
find
it
difficult,
if
not
impossible
to
find
any
of
these
items
that
haven't
already
been
implemented.
The
implementation
has
been
gradual
and
insidious,
but
highly
successful,
primarily
because
of
the
spin
of
the
major
news
networks
and
print
media
on
current
events,
ignorance
of
the
long
term
and
widespread
plan
of
communist
world
domination
and,
of
course,
apathy
found
in
America's
voting
public.

Extension
of
Remarks
Honorable
A.
S.
Herlong,
Jr.
Of
Florida
In
the
House
of
Representatives
MR.
HERLONG.
Mr.
Speaker,
Mrs.
Patricia
Nordman
of
De
Land,
Fl.,
is
an
ardent
and
articulate
opponent
of
communism,
and
until
recently
published
the
De
Land
Courier,
which
she
dedicated
to
the
purpose
of
alerting
the
public
to
the
dangers
of
communism
in
America.
At
Mrs.
Norman's
request,
I
include
in
the
RECORD,
under
unanimous
consent,
the
following
"Current
Communist
Goals,"
which
she
identifies
as
an
excerpt
from
"The
Naked
Communist",
by
Cleon
Skousen:
1958
CURRENT
COMMUNIST
GOALS
1.
U.S.
acceptance
of
coexistence
as
the
only
alternative
to
atomic
war.
2.
U.S.
willingness
to
capitulate
in
preference
to
engaging
in
atomic
war.
3.
Develop
the
illusion
that
total
disarmament
(by)
the
United
States
would
be a
demonstration
of
moral
strength.
4.
Permit
free
trade
between
all
nations
regardless
of
Communist
affiliation
and
regardless
of
whether
or
not
items
could
be
used
for
war.
5.
Extension
of
long-term
loans
to
Russia
and
Soviet
satellites.
6.
Provide
American
aid
to
all
nations
regardless
of
Communist
domination.
7.
Grant
recognition
of
Red
China.
Admission
of
Red
China
to
the
U.N.
8.
Set
up
East
and
West
Germany
as
separate
states
in
spite
of
Khrushchev's
promise
in
1955
to
settle
the
German
question
by
free
elections
under
supervision
of
the
U.N.
9.
Prolong
the
conferences
to
ban
atomic
tests
because
the
United
States
has
agreed
to
suspend
tests
as
long
as
negotiations
are
in
progress.
10.
Allow
all
Soviet
satellites
individual
representation
in
the
U.N.
11.
Promote
the
U.N.
as
the
only
hope
for
mankind.
If
its
charter
is
rewritten,
demand
that
it
be
set
up
as a
one-world
government
with
its
own
independent
armed
forces.
(Some
Communist
leaders
believe
the
world
can
be
taken
over
as
easily
by
the
U.N.
as
by
Moscow.
Sometimes
these
two
centers
compete
with
each
other
as
they
are
now
doing
in
the
Congo.)
12.
Resist
any
attempt
to
outlaw
the
Communist
Party.
13.
Do
away
with
all
loyalty
oaths.
14.
Continue
giving
Russia
access
to
the
U.S.
Patent
Office.
15.
Capture
one
or
both
of
the
political
parties
in
the
United
States.
16.
Use
technical
decisions
of
the
courts
to
weaken
basic
American
institutions
by
claiming
their
activities
violate
civil
rights.
17.
Get
control
of
the
schools.
Use
them
as
transmission
belts
for
socialism
and
current
Communist
propaganda.
Soften
the
curriculum.
Get
control
of
teachers'
associations.
Put
the
party
line
in
textbooks.
18.
Gain
control
of
all
student
newspapers.
19.
Use
student
riots
to
foment
public
protests
against
programs
of
organizations
which
are
under

attack.

Infiltrate
the

positions
in
radio,

and
motion
pictures.
22.
Continue
discrediting
American
culture
by
degrading
all
forms
of
artistic
expression.
An
American
Communist
cell
was
told
to
"eliminate
all
good
sculpture
from
parks
and
buildings,
substitute
shapeless,
awkward
and
meaningless
forms."
23.
Control
art
critics
and
directors
of
art
museums.
"Our
plan
is
to
promote
ugliness,
repulsive,
meaningless
art."
24.
Eliminate
all
laws
governing
obscenity
by
calling
them
"censorship"
and
a
violation
of
free
speech
and
free
press.
25.
Break
down
cultural
standards
of
morality
by
promoting
pornography
and
obscenity
in
books,
magazines,
motion
pictures,
radio
and
TV.
26.
Present
homosexuality,
degeneracy
and
promiscuity
as
"normal,
natural,
healthy."
27.
Infiltrate
the
churches
and
replace
revealed
religion
with
"social"
religion.
Discredit
the
Bible
and
emphasize
the
need
for
intellectual
maturity
which
does
not
need
a
"religious
crutch."
28.
Eliminate
prayer
or
any
phase
of
religious
expression
in
the
schools
on
the
grounds
that
it
violates
the
principle
of
"separation
of
church
and
state."
29.
Discredit
the
American
Constitution
by
calling
it
inadequate,
old-fashioned,
out
of
step
with
modern
needs,
a
hindrance
to
cooperation
between
nations
on a
worldwide
basis.
30.
Discredit
the
American
Founding
Fathers.
Present
them
as
selfish
aristocrats
who
had
no
concern
for
the
"common
man."
31.
Belittle
all
forms
of
American
culture
and
discourage
the
teaching
of
American
history
on
the
grounds
that
it
was
only
a
minor
part
of
the
"big
picture."
Give
more
emphasis
to
Russian
history
since
the
Communists
took
over.
32.
Support
any
socialist
movement
to
give
centralized
control
over
any
part
of
the
culture--education,
social
agencies,
welfare
programs,
mental
health
clinics,
etc.
33.
Eliminate
all
laws
or
procedures
which
interfere
with
the
operation
of
the
Communist
apparatus.

Eliminate
the
House
Committee
on
Un-American
Activities.

and
eventually
dismantle
the
FBI.
36.
Infiltrate
and
gain
control
of
more
unions.
37.
Infiltrate
and
gain
control
of
big
business.
38.
Transfer
some
of
the
powers
of
arrest
from
the
police
to
social
agencies.
Treat
all
behavioral
problems
as
psychiatric
disorders
which
no
one
but
psychiatrists
can
understand
(or
treat).
39.
Dominate
the
psychiatric
profession
and
use
mental
health
laws
as a
means
of
gaining
coercive
control
over
those
who
oppose
Communist
goals.
40.
Discredit
the
family
as
an
institution.
Encourage
promiscuity
and
easy
divorce.
41.
Create
the
impression
that
violence
and
insurrection
are
legitimate
aspects
of
the
American
tradition;
that
students
and
special-interest
groups
should
rise
up
and
use
united
force
to
solve
economic,
political
or
social
problems.
43.
Overthrow
all
colonial
governments
before
native
populations
are
ready
for
self-government.
44.
Internationalize
the
Panama
Canal.
45.
Repeal
the
Connally
reservation
so
the
United
States
cannot
prevent
the
World
Court
from
seizing
jurisdiction
over
domestic
problems.
Give
the
World
Court
jurisdiction
over
nations
and
individuals
alike.
