1963 Communist Goals
The
following was entered into the Congressional record by
Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in
Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.
|
|
1) US acceptance
of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to
engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the
US 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, and admission of Red
China to the UN.
8) 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
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because
the US has agreed
to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual
representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN 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 UN 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 loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent
Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the
US
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 text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against
programs or
organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review
assignments,
editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV &
motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading
all form 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, and 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 ground 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.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
35) Discredit 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) 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.
42) Create the impression that violence and
insurrection are legitimate
aspects of the American tradition; that students and special
interest groups
should rise up and make a "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 US can not
prevent the World
Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give
the World Court
jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court
jurisdiction over
nations and individuals alike.
