The Naked Truth: The Naked Communist - Revisited

Introduction

The Gramsci theory mentioned in the Preface is based upon Antonio Gramsci’s writings in the 1920’s. It is not complicated. His approach about how communism could replace capitalism was different from the pure Marxian model. He analyzed why the Marxist approach would never be successful in a religious-based, Western style country. Gramsci theorized that in a country like America, it would first be necessary to undermine the culture and morality, before the people would accept the slide into socialism. He discarded a Marxist concept that the overthrow would come from a revolt of the workers. Gramsci insisted that it would only succeed by having the intellectuals and elites working to change the country’s culture from within. The final destruction of our American way of life would not be completed by external Communists, but rather by dedicated American progressives.

The forty-five Current Communist Goals listed in Skousen’s 1958 book are listed and the status of each will be analyzed in the Chapters to follow. In many cases entire books have been written (in some cases many books) to document a specific point. These books were not written to address Skousen’s predictions, but rather to prove a dangerous trend in a specific area. With forty-five Goals to be analyzed, obviously it is not planned on having a book length Chapter on each topic. Rather, a summary or overview is given that will suffice to prove the point to an unbiased reader. However, for those wishing more detail and support, References are listed at the end of each Chapter, where readers will find, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the summary conclusions made herein are fair and accurate.

Probably the most important aspect of reviewing these Goals is remembering that they were written in 1958. People are suspicious of the Monday morning quarterbacks who can always explain, after the fact, why certain things happen. As with the Bible, one of the most powerful things proving its validity is the fact that the prophecies made centuries before, ultimately all came to pass exactly as predicted. So, as you are reading these Goals, keep reminding yourself that this was all in writing over fifty years ago. That most of the Goals have already been accomplished, exactly as Skousen stated, would seem to be proof that the leftists did have a plan, they did have an agenda and they have been diligently working to carry it out. Could all of these Goals be accomplished by accident? Is it ignorance or treason?

The difficulty in discussing some of these Goals is that many younger Americans have never known when some of these were not the norm in America. For example, how many readers know that for decades it was illegal to import anything into America that was produced in Communist China? Hard to imagine today, when almost everything we buy today is, Made in China. Also, does anyone remember that for decades, people working for the government had to take a loyalty oath? Furthermore, the average American today is probably not aware of the historical fact that for several hundred years of our country’s history, almost all schools and colleges in America were founded by Christians, the Bible was a standard textbook, the Ten Commandments were posted in the schools and prayer opened each school day. One simple, but stark, example of this complete turnaround is Harvard University. It is now a very liberal, secular college – actually hostile to Christianity, yet it was founded as a Christian college to train pastors. Its early motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae, Truth for Christ and the Church. Only in the past fifty years have all of these Biblical foundations and traditions gradually been ruled unconstitutional, even though they were all accepted and practiced by the people who wrote the Constitution. Strange, indeed!

As will be seen, some of these Goals are not as significant as others and a few are no longer applicable, since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the unification of Germany. In addition, many of these Goals might seem to the uninformed person to be totally unrelated to any plan to pave the way for a Communist victory. Keep two things in mind: First, the Marxists have been using the Gramsci Model in America, which requires that our culture be broken down as a first step. Secondly, it was the Communists who came up with these Goals — so whether they make sense to us or not is immaterial. Overall, Skousen’s predictions are incredibly accurate. It is important to remember that his predictions were not based on a crystal ball, but upon his vast knowledge of communism, through his years at the FBI and other law enforcement positions. Therefore, they are not really predictions in that sense; rather Skousen was in a position to know exactly what their plans were. He just summarized them in print – giving us a heads up. We ignore this evil progress at our own peril. We must understand that all of these trends and events in America for the past fifty years have not happened by accident. They were laid out years ago as a part of the Communist strategy to take over the world – just as their Marxist founders openly proclaimed they would.

Current Communist Goals (1958)

U.S. acceptance of co-existence as the only alternative to atomic war.

U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the UN.

Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN.

Prolong the Conferences to ban atomic tests, because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the UN.

Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

(Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other.)

Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

Do away with all loyalty oaths.

Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

Capture one or both of the political parties in the U.S.

Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

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 text-books.

Gain control of all student newspapers.

Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

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.

Control art critics and directors of art museums. Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaning-less art.

Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship and a violation of free speech and free press.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

Present homo-sexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as normal, natural, healthy.

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.

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to co-operation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the big picture. Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

Support any Socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture — education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

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.

Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks, and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

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.

Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

Internationalize the Panama Canal.

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.

The intension of this book is to summarize the events which confirm that a particular Goal has been accomplished or is well on the way. As mentioned, reference materials will be given in each area, for those interested in further study. Some of these reference books are classics, but may be out of print. However, used copies can almost always be found on the Internet. It is important to mention that several of the shortest Chapters of this book are actually the most significant. The reason those vital issues are not expanded upon herein is that they are the most widely known and heavily documented areas, with no need to duplicate here. Rather, more time is spent exposing in more detail the lesser known Goals.

CHAPTER ONE

Goal No. 1: U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

Goal No. 2: U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

Goal No. 3: Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Goal No. 9: Prolong the Conferences to ban atomic tests, because the U.S. has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

These four Goals listed above have been intertwined during the last fifty years. While implementing these four Goals, almost 40 countries were swept under Communist domination. The shocking and sad part of this Chapter is that it documents the fact that decisions made in America, by the traitors or dupes in our midst, led to far more disasters than any overt actions by hostile nations during this time frame. Dupes was a term commonly used by the FBI in the 50’s and 60’s. It is not referring to unintelligent people, but rather normal people from all walks of life who are deceived into helping the Communist cause without realizing it. Stalin called them useful idiots.

Although the concept of, Better Red Than Dead was unthinkable in 1958, by the late 1960’s it became a popular and widely accepted catchphrase. The era of peaceful coexistence was promoted by the Soviets from World War II until the early 1970’s, when the Communist buzzword of détente was slowly exchanged and accepted by Washington and most of the American media. The goal of both slogans was to keep America on the sidelines of the world conflicts, terrified by the thought of nuclear war – as the U.S.S.R. gobbled up country after country. We were told daily by the politicians and the media that we had no choice. It was negotiations, standing by or nuclear war. School children were programmed to fear a nuclear attack. Endless, dangerous and unenforceable treaties were negotiated and signed by the U.S.S.R. and the U.S.A. during this time. As Skousen predicted, all of these treaties were used against us. Just how effectively is summarized by the following article:

The Soviets have always been explicit about their intentions — so was Hitler in Mein Kampf.

Objective truth has no place in Communist morality, by their own statements. Any statement that will advance the cause of world
