The Hillary-Alinsky Personal Letters: How To Change America

Print Friendly Version of this pagePrint Get a PDF version of this webpagePDF

The Hill is reporting, "Eight years after shying away from the historic nature of her campaign, Hillary Clinton is putting women at the center of her agenda as she 'contemplates' ... another run for president."

She's beyond contemplation.

She is calling for a "movement" that represents "equality" that breaks the glass ceiling and eliminates the collapsing floor for women. But it isn't only about economic equality, nor is it only about women.

Her connection to Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood and the global agenda to advance abortion worldwide is also a component of "equality."

Clearly there is work for the far left secular progressives to do in completely redefining marriage and family.

Clinton's closest advisers are calling her agenda, "Our great unfinished business."

A few days ago the correspondence between Hillary and radical community organizer Saul Alinsky became public.

While Hillary has shrugged it off, we the people will be well served not to shrug it off but to be aware and informed.

After all, it was Saul Alinsky who dedicated his book "Rules For Radicals" to Lucifer as his inspiration for community organizing.

A closer look is very revealing as to what that "unfinished business" is really about.


The Hill says Hillary got bad advice during her 2008 presidential campaign---especially from Mark Penn who sought to "play down the fact she's a woman."

This time, they say, she is going to "be herself."

Who is Hillary?

Last week the Washington Free Beacon published previously unpublished correspondence between Hillary and the late left wing community organizer Saul Alinsky, shedding light on her ideological development and her "unfinished business."

After getting access to Alinsky's library in Austin, Tx., The Beacon found some revealing facts. Here is some of what they found:

Hillary (Rodham) met with Alinsky several times in 1968 while she was writing a Wellesley College thesis about his theory of community organizing.

Hillary's relationship with Alinsky, and her support of his philosophy, continued for several years.

The Beacon is reporting that the letters they read suggest that Alinsky, who died in 1972, had a deeper influence on Hillary's early political views than previously known.

Hillary, as each of us, has every right to believe what she wants to believe, however, we have a right to know what she really believes in that she is "considering" running for the most powerful office in the world---an office that impacts our lives personally.

In 1971, Hillary, then 23, was interning at the far left-wing law firm Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein, well known for their radical politics and a client roster that included the Black Panthers and other radical far-left militant organizations.

On July 8, 1971 Hillary reached out to Alinsky, then 62, in a letter sent via air mail---remember airmail---with stamps featuring FDR and marked "personal."

"Dear Saul," she began, "when is the new book [Rules For Radicals] coming out or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation?"

She continued, "I have just had my one thousandth conversation about "Reveille" [Alinsky's book Reveille For Radicals] and need some new material to throw at people."

Reveille was written specifically as a text for community organizing at the time. Barack Obama taught classes from this book and others by Saul Alinsky.

In Hillary's own book, "Living History," she writes that she rejected Saul Alinsky's offer to work for him in favor of going to law school . She said she wanted "to follow a more conventional path."

Path to where?

In a 1971 letter, Hillary assured Alinsky she had "survived law school, slightly bruised, with my belief in and zest for organizing intact."

David Brock, who was once an opponent of Hillary's then later became a supporter, said in his 1996 book "The Seduction of Hillary Rodham," that "Hillary was like Alinsky's daughter."

There's more in the Free Beacon article.

Hillary later wrote that her decision to not work for Saul Alinsky "was an expression of my belief that the system could be changed from within."

Why does America need to be so radically changed? From without or within.

Why can't we elect leadership who believe in the principles of Freedom upon which our country was founded and work to make it a truly more perfect union, rather than trying to "transform" or "remake" America, while making every effort to reduce us to just another spot on the map, rather than the exceptional nation that we are?

There is no denying that Hillary's worldview is at least parallel to Alinsky's and reflects his political doctrines.

The difference is merely in how to achieve the goal.

In his book "Rules For Radicals," the one Hillary inquired about, Alinsky credits Lucifer as the inspiration for his teaching and strategy.

He says Lucifer transcends time and culture and that he, Lucifer, organized the first rebellion against God in heaven and also organized the first rebellion against God on earth---the Garden of Eden---through Adam and Eve.

The "Rules for Radicals" book is the text for all far left socialist types in politics and education.

Here are the Rules as listed in his text---It is what Hillary called "The Revelation" in her personal letter to Alinsky:

  1. Always remember the first rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
  2. The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.
  3. The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
  4. The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
  5. The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
  6. The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
  7. The seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.
  8. The eighth rule: Keep the pressure on.
  9. The ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
  10. The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
  11. The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside.
  12. The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
  13. The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. —

Keep in mind, when he speaks of the "enemy," he is speaking of conservatives and people of faith.
