This sort of warfare has been going on insidiously in the background since before I was born. More than fifty years after the original paper, the Cloward-Piven strategy is finally coming to full fruition. Obeying the admonition of Obama staffer Rahm Emanuel that they should “never let a serious crisis go to waste,” the media wasted no time frightening us into submission when a novel coronavirus mysteriously appeared in Wuhan, China last year. Now we are all wearing masks and staying six feet away from each other while businesses go bankrupt and individuals whose jobs are deemed “nonessential” have no income. This gave the government an opportunity to ride to the rescue with stimulus checks for everyone. See how that works? Now welfare includes you and me.
