Ten Steps to Subversion

TEN STEPS TO SUBVERSION
E. Lyman
“A general Dissolution of Principles and Manners will more surely overthrow the Liberties of America than the whole force of the Common Enemy. “While the People are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their Virtue they will be ready to surrender their Liberties to the first external or internal invader. … If Virtue and Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great Security.”  Samuel Adams 


Too often, local and world affairs appear to be unfolding as if someone were following a master script. In this context, these “ten steps to subversion” are fascinating.
Said to have been found in Dusseldorf, Germany, by Allied Forces in 1919, they were then printed in the U.S. in the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise (Oklahoma). Another source labels these “Communist Rules for the Russian Revolution, 1918″. In 1946, the attorney general of Florida obtained them from a known member of the Communist Party, who acknowledged that the “rules” were then still a part of the Communist program for the United States.  Nearly the same text was found in the purportedly 18th century Illuminati Protocols (labeled fake but written by someone).
Curiously, this plan fits in with recent times and seems to parallel the government and corporate agenda of today.
1. Corrupt the young: Get them away from spirituality. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
Some people not in the “young” age group might say this trend has been going on for a long time. For example, blatant sex can be seen in most advertising — so much so that it is difficult to remember when it was otherwise.
The operative goal here is a moral corruption of youth through excessively materialistic values, resulting in overwhelming superficiality. If a whole generation grows up to be concerned only about one’s personal benefit and enjoyment — the enjoyment being based on material possessions and superficial immediate gratification — society will not find it easy to fight for the survival of the community or the nation. It will be a fractured society, one that would be easy to take over and control by force.
We need to be aware of this goal and try to mitigate against it. Some may say that today’s youth have already gone in the direction of this first goal. But there is always a percentage who are more deeply aware and who will fight for higher visions. 
2. Get control of all means of publicity.
By making one or two corporations control all the print media, and also television, this goal is being achieved. 
3. Get people’s minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays, and immoral movies.
This one, again, sounds dated, but the concept isn’t. How about, “Get people’s minds off what the government’s backers are making it do, by offering a great many sports on TV, and a multitude of soap operas and sitcoms liberally laced with sex, violence and scandal. In the news (TV and print media), feature as much news as possible about disasters, violence and murder. Don’t, however, print any news that would allow people to piece together what is really going on in the world. 
4. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance.
We see this all the time. In B.C., one of the favourite topics to divide communities relate to land claims and indigenous rights. In 1995, we had a classic example in the Gustafsen Lake stand-off. The mainstream media made people believe that the Native sovereigntists were “after your private property”. Even after the Mounties self-condemned themselves in a “training video”, where they said they wanted to “smear the Indians” and make themselves “look good”, the disinformation continued in the major media.
Other popular divisive topics are illegal refugees, immigration, taxes, and various irrelevant aspects of government. Important issues that affect democracy and sovereignty — like the global corporate takeover via so-called “trade” deals where, for example, transnationals can sue governments but people cannot sue corporations — are never discussed. Nor are the real goals behind globalization. All we are told is that it is inevitable and it is good for us. 
5. Destroy the people’s faith in their natural leaders by holding the latter up to contempt, ridicule and disgrace.
One popular way to destroy people’s faith in their leaders is to marginalize these leaders by giving them no media access. We have seen this in connection with leaders of new political parties. During the last two federal elections, one of Canada’s elder statesmen, the Honourable Paul Hellyer, a former deputy prime minister, was deliberately humiliated by not being allowed in on the “major” leaders’ debates — because “minor” parties were not deemed to be of importance.
Potential leaders are also marginalized by being made to seem unreliable or lightweight. David Orchard is a young, charismatic “natural” leader. He has been pushed aside, even though he came second in a democratic vote for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party.
This list could go on. The practice is particularly common, even in the Native community where hereditary chiefs have been shunted out of power, replaced by government/corporate protégés. 
6. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as ruthlessly as possible.
We have a brilliant example of this in the recent U.S. presidential election. Both George W. Bush and Vice-president Al Gore extolled American democracy in the face of a blatant power grab. Massive electoral irregularities in the State of Florida gave the presidency to Mr. Bush. However, subsequent informal counts have shown that Bush did not win the state or the nation. Nevertheless, he has been ensconced in the White House. 
7. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce years of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
We have seen a rise in the public debt since our federal government moved away from using the publicly owned Bank of Canada to finance its expenditures, thus increasing private borrowing with interest. Inflationary interest rates in the ‘80s cost many Canadians their homes and businesses. After the introduction of the FTA and NAFTA, the country has never recovered. The floodgate was opened to the foreign takeover of Canadian resources, with the accompanying loss of sovereignty. It is correct to say that many Canadians are not content with the situation, but they are not sure how to fix it. 
8. Incite unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of the government toward such disorders.
We saw this plan in Canada in the 1970s. The lenient attitude was evident when large wage increases were permitted, unrelated to any growth in productivity, and a subsequent inflation in prices. Although it is denied, inflation continues today, to the detriment of people on fixed incomes. 
9. Cause breakdown of the old moral values — honesty, sobriety, self-restraint, faith in the pledged word, ruggedness.
These values were once dear to almost any thriving traditional society, having strong currency in European and North American society as recently as 100 years ago.
The Indigenous nations of North America lived by these moral values. Clearly one could not survive in the natural context without being able to trust one’s neighbours. Neighbours helped neighbours; clan helped clan. A family was a self-sufficient unit when it came to the procurement of food, shelter and clothing.
In the urban context, this simple equation has disappeared, replaced by an impersonal government and, increasingly, corporate infrastructure. Aside from being impersonal, this infrastructure is not responsive to the real needs of the individual citizen or family.
In this manner, self-sufficiency and ruggedness are lost in the metropolitan area context. If some disaster caused the loss of the supply infrastructure in our cities, people would starve because they’ve lost the skills of finding food for themselves. And due to huge rates of immigration, our numbers are inflated to the point that we could not put everyone out on the land to fend for themselves. Raiding parties would attack rural areas, causing starvation even where the food is grown. Corporate mega farms would become military encampments. Those pillaging for leftovers would be shot on sight. This actually happened under Communism in the Ukraine in the 1930s, with a loss of two million lives.
Whoever controls the food supply and drinking water is the complete master of all. The corporations are more aware of this than the average citizen, and they are busy modifying the food supply so that it can be controlled through patents — owned by the holders of the patents. Water is being commodified to give control to the transnational corporations. The current legal action under NAFTA by Sunbelt Water of California against Canada and B.C. is only the first salvo in the water wars. Recently a traditional chief revealed that bulk water exports are already taking place from the mid-coast regions. 
10. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext, with a view to confiscate them and leaving the populace helpless.
This final step is in progress in Canada today, under the pretext of reducing crime. Australia has already travelled this road and given the lie to this excuse. They have had rising violence and crime after their guns were confiscated. In every recent dictatorship, guns have been taken from the people. It is the final step of a global plan.
This plan appears to be the essence of the New World Order and the global corporate power grab. It requires no stretch of the imagination to believe that it is being used against Canadians today by its federal government.
Only awareness and concerted counter-action can hope to alter this plan. In the long term, it spells disaster for mankind.
