Long before Naomi Klein…
Four stages…
A Soviet born, KGB trained subverter tells about the four stages of communist takeovers during a 1984 interview by G. Edward Griffin. Want to know how the KGB did its dirty work in foreign countries? This video gives a good overview of the process.
1.Demoralization
2.Destabilization
3.Crisis
4.Normalization
Bezmenov suggests, America is already demoralized and that was in 85..
In my best Boris and Natasha voice, “Vat stage are ve at, dalink?”

The people are revolting!
“Well, here’s us at Starbucks.
That was fun. Now why, exactly, have we been linked to these clowns?
(no, seriously – i’m missing the significance of this post….)

A tax revolt led by the ususal suspects–the wealthiest 0.01% (the Republican base). They obviously aren’t suffering, since they have plenty of resources left to advocate looting “entitlements” that American workers have already paid for.
The solution is to tax them more and siphon off the gobs of spare change they use to undermine the security of the average American. We the people have better uses for that money.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
popped into my mind apropos of a lot of things…

Speaking of “looting “entitlements” that American workers have already paid for.”
I just posted this a few days ago…
Stop the Campaign to Loot Social Security…
The resounding defeat of George W. Bush’s effort to privatize Social Security in 2005 seemed to be the end of attacks against the program. However, William Greider argues that Wall Street interests are leading a new round of threats to Social Security in a plan to use money from the program to recover the costs of bailing out banks. Although President Obama has indicated support for Social Security in the past, Greider argues in the video below that progressives need to exert pressure and educate the public about its solvency in order to counteract the efforts of private interests pushing for a compromise.
