Burning America: The Reagan Revolution or Who Was the Son of Reagan? Too Little, Too Late

https://www.popai.pro/share.html?shareKey=bb766a93834a80b9985076901572b2b4e8821ad74f305f7d02b207ae0426dc4b&utm_source=presentationsharepage

The most startling aspect of the Reagan Revolution is that, by hindsight, it was only a whimper. For the entire generation of Reagan followers whom he inspired, no one has emerged, nor has any conservative had a long-lasting cultural reversal resulting from the Reagan years. Reagan is the failed revolutionary.

Nonetheless, there are positive developments, which are to the President's credit. Ronald Reagan restored the office of the presidency to its place of prominence through policies that fostered a productive economy and that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and an end to the Cold War.

Ronald Reagan pursued what Frank Meyer called Fusionism as he attempted to combine many of the leading intellectual movements on the right: social and economic libertarianism, neoconservative interventionism, and traditionalism.

Unfortunately, some of Reagan's policies were not helpful to the country.

• Several of Reagan’s policies fit within the neoliberal consensus as he:

o reduced antitrust prosecutions.
o supported global free trade.
o signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act, which legalized millions of illegal immigrants and did not punish businesses for hiring illegals.

After the disaster of the Carter administration many people sought a return to normalcy after both the impeachment of Richard Nixon and the failed administration of Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan restored the office of the presidency to its place of prominence through policies that fostered a productive economy and that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and an end to the Cold War.

Unfortunately, the neoliberal consensus doomed Reagan to be an example of too little, too late. No centrist, Constitutionalist candidate emerged from the Reagan Revolution as the left-wing marched through American culture while cultural and institutional decline occurred.

The radical march through the institutions was heralded by Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Marxist, who coined the phrase “the long march through the institutions” to explain how a minority could change society by taking over key institutions in education and bureaucracy.

Radicals followed Gramsci’s model by co-opting Great Society programs, ensconcing themselves in the education system, taking over the bureaucratic agencies created by the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and modifying administrative law. Radicals transformed civil rights justice into progressive equity, diversity, and inclusion programs which downplayed talent and achievement by the most deserving and hard working individuals.

The Great Cultural Awokening had a profound impact on the CIA and FBI, which extended bureaucratic despotism far beyond anything the Progressives would have dreamed of. 

The early Soviet active measures campaign took on a life of its own and survived the collapse of the USSR. It provided the philosophical and strategic foundations for a cultural Marxist revolution that was so profound that it penetrated the cores of the CIA and the FBI. 

Obama used the George W. Bush-era centralization of the intelligence community to impose critical theory and cultural Marxism on the CIA, FBI, and other intelligence services. 

As Robert Mueller had centralized the FBI, the new director of national intelligence would have central authority over all American intelligence agencies. 

Obama has placed one of the most radical and flawed intelligence figures since the Comintern infiltration of the World War II Office of Strategic Services.

James Clapper was an ideal choice for Obama in 2010 because he looked like a Republican but acted like a Marxist. After being unanimously confirmed by the Senate as the Director of National Intelligence, Clapper will assume responsibility for the entire American intelligence community throughout the remainder of the Obama presidency. 

Clapper found a devoted White House partner in John O. Brennan, the former CIA chief of staff and Obama's special assistant for homeland security. Brennan referred to Clapper as "my foxhole companion and a trustworthy companion." Soon after, Obama would name Brennan as the CIA director. 

The cultural revolution in the intelligence community, along with a significant portion of the government bureaucracy, commenced on August 18, 2011. On that particular day,  Obama issued Executive Order 13583. The title was simply 'Establishing a Coordinated Government-Wide Initiative to Promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce." The shepherdess of the executive order was Valerie Jarrett, a confidant of the president. 

The Diversity Order 13583 was a social revolutionary act. It did not mention enhancing intelligence collection, analysis, operations, or capabilities. The aforementioned statement lacked any elucidation regarding how a diverse group of individuals could augment the intelligence community by enhancing their language proficiency, understanding of domestic and foreign cultures, or leveraging the advantages of diverse personal perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.

It was an act of ideological machination. 

The executive order was a majoritarian decree intended to transform the culture of the entire federal bureaucracy through the implementation of critical theory. As the theories of Antonio Gramsci of the Italian Communist Party and Herbert Marcuse of the Frankfurt School taught, the appropriate opinions and policies would emerge once the bureaucratic culture underwent a transformation. Obama was aware that personnel is a matter of policy. 

In his memoir, Director Leon Panetta elucidated that the Obama White House staff displayed an "inclination towards dominion" over the CIA and the intelligence community in general. He did not provide a name. Despite this, the White House seemed more obsessed with taking over the levers of power through its cultural Marxist revolution than with terminating Osama bin Laden. 

Obama deferred the appointment of John O. Brennan as the Director of the CIA until the commencement of his second term in March 2013. Brennan had a traumatic past. He echoed Obama's view that the administration should transform the country through incrementalism. His political background was similar to that of Attorney General Eric Holder and especially Jarrett. During the Carter administration, when Brennan was first enlisted, the CIA somehow cleared him, despite his recent vote for a controlled Soviet asset, Communist Party chief Gus Hall, as President of the United States. Brennan dismissed the experience in his memoir as a lark and drew no lessons from it. 

After a carefully prepared Islamic ceremony onboard the United States Navy, Director Brennan executed Obama Diversity Order 13583 with gusto. He directed the establishment of diversity offices within the CIA components. He augmented the recruitment and promotions in accordance with Obama's critical theory criteria. Brennan implemented explicit preferential promotion based on gender, rather than talent, in response to a study on the status of women at the CIA, irrespective of the most qualified candidates for a particular position. 

Managers at the CIA Directorate of Support reprimanded their subordinates for failing to conform to the new politicized climate. Even female employees were concerned. According to retired CIA analyst Nicholas Dujmovic, some in the analysis directorate have called Brennan's politicization'soft totalitarianism. 

Nowhere in his 400-page memoir did Brennan claim that the goal was to make intelligence more efficient or its deliverables more productive. Excellence was not the goal. Brennan did not contend that Obama aimed to enhance the overall effectiveness of the government, particularly in the area of the Internal Revenue Service.

Radicals began to attack the “hidden curriculum” in public schools and weed out what radicals claimed were the racist, sexist, Christian, and homophobic ideas prevalent in school curricula

Activist teachers raised the consciousness of students to indoctrinate them into an awareness of a supposed Pablo Freire-like oppression to enlist children in the battle against reactionary forces.

Radicals in bureaucracy and education published authoritative documents on systemic racism and endorsed antiracist activities for school children. These activities divided students into privileged and oppressed groups in order to institute equity privileged individuals.

Unfortunately, the Reagan Era produced a son. Barack Obama became the poster child of affirmative action during this radical period in American education that began with college indoctrination but has since moved into the primary grades.

Obama’s early political career was launched in the living room of Bill Ayers, a far-left militant organizer and founder of the Weather Underground. This connection, along with others to controversial figures such as the anti-Semitic Palestinian academic Rashid Khalidi, Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright, and Critical Race Theory pioneer Derrick Bell, paints a picture of a president influenced by extreme Leftist ideologies from the very start. Critical legal theory was itself a takeoff on critical theory, a philosophical approach originating out of the leftist Frankfurt School.

Obama learned about sex from a Communist.

Frank Marshall Davis was the subject of a 600 page FBI file. Davis was not only a Communist Party USA member, but engaged in activities considered suspicious by the FBI, such as photographing the Hawaii coast, possibly for espionage purposes. Davis was on the FBI’s “security index” of dangerous people. He also wrote a semi-autobiographical pornographic novel under a pseudonym entitled "Sex Rebel: Black." The author describes it more directly as a “complete sex autobiography…” It appears that Davis was part of a “free love” movement, someone who by the author’s admission “specialized in sex,” even with children. Davis was Obama’s mentor for about eight or nine years. Then Obama went off to Occidental College, where classmate John C. Drew says the future president was already a committed Marxist.

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully, " Obama wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "the more politically active black students. The foreign students. The chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists" (p. 100).

Obama’s point: I am a radical leftist. During my college years: 1979–1983; I am developing my radical views.

1979 – The Iran hostage crisis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis) begins. In the aftermath, a second energy crisis develops, tripling the price of oil (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_of_oil) and sending U. S. gasoline prices over $1 per gallon for the first time.
Once in office, I will send cash to Iran.
1980 – The United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) boycotts the Summer Olympics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Olympics) in Moscow (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow) to protest the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Afghanistan); also announces a grain embargo against the Soviet Union with the support of the European Commission.
I will mock presidential candidate Mitt Romney for having anti-Soviet policies left over from the 1980s.
1980 – The Refugee Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee_Act) is signed into law, reforming United States immigration law and admitted refugees on systematic basis for humanitarian reasons
I will exploit the Act for an open Southern border and encourage Biden to do the same during my Third Term.
1981 Obama visits Pakistan with his boyfriend.
1983 – 241 U.S. Marines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps) are killed by a suicide bomb in Lebanon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon).
I will come into office with only two kinetic conflicts and commit blood and treasure in seven Middle Eastern countries to feed the military-industrial complex.
1984 – The drug problem intensifies as crack (a smokable form of cocaine) is first introduced into the Los Angeles area.
I will increase inner city dependence on drugs, crime, public assistance, and poor education to increase misery.

Albert Shanker, President of the American Federation of Teachers, testified before Congress that many of these programs encouraged students to become violent and to resist all authority as oppression.

Many antiracism activities taught that all white people are racists regardless of whether they have any conscious racial prejudice.

Antiracist training activities also pushed Pat Bidol’s new definition of racism as the combination of power and prejudice. In Bidol’s teaching, this meant that only groups with power can be oppressors.

Schools also urged white students to confess their privilege so they can become allies for the underprivileged.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act prohibited overt acts of discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and national origin. It barred the use of racial quotas.
Radicals, however, took over the agencies created by Congress to enforce the law and began interpreting the law contrary to its own language.

The federal courts often deferred to the expertise of equity and diversity bureaucrats as laid out in a labyrinth of interpretive memos, clarifications, and guidelines.

Congress began delegating authority to agencies—for example, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission—to prosecute violations.

In 1978, agencies adopted the four-fifths rule, which introduced quotas for race, sex, and ethnicity as de facto evidence of discrimination.

Bureaucracies themselves grew under radical leadership in terms of budget and personnel, even though federal hiring standards often had to be lowered to allow more minority hires in federal agencies.

Radicals extended the preferential treatment and entitlements afforded to African Americans under Civil Rights law to new victim groups: women, Hispanics, Asians, Indians, the elderly, the disabled, and homosexuals.

Radicals Transform Administrative Law

Liberal regulatory agencies were intended to regulate and protect private industry for the public interest.
Radicals rejected the idea of public interest and insisted that there was only the distinct interest of various groups.

o These groups included civil rights groups, environmentalist groups, consumer protection groups, and worker health and safety groups.

o Elites were now able to claim to represent various unorganized and underrepresented groups.

Property rights were also extended to include rights to welfare in order to protect those who now were receiving government aid.
Congress began to approach each new issue by creating an agency and granting it broad powers to set economy-wide standards.

o These included the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Consumer Product Safety Administration.

o Most of these agencies were primarily staffed by lawyers, not scientific experts in the respective field.

Late-1988 to mid-1989

During Barack Obama’s tenure as the president of the Harvard Law Review in the late 1980s, at least two male student editors complained to colleagues and senior university official about inappropriate behavior by Obama, ultimately leaving their positions at the journal, multiple sources confirm to THE KANSAS CITIAN.

http://thekansascitian.blogspot.com/search?q=Obama+Accused+Of+Sexual+Harassment

The men complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Obama that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the university that gave them financial payouts to leave the journal. The agreements also included language that bars the men from talking about their departures.

Obama was president of the Harvard Law Review from late-1988 to mid-1989. THE KANSAS CITIAN learned of the allegations against him, and over the course of several weeks, has put together accounts of what happened by talking to a lengthy roster of former university officials, current and past students and others familiar with the workings of the journal at the time Obama was there.

In one case, THE KANSAS CITIAN has seen documentation describing the allegations and showing that the university formally resolved the matter. Both men received separation packages that were in the five-figure range.

On the details of Obama’s allegedly inappropriate behavior with the two men, THE KANSAS CITIAN has a half-dozen sources shedding light on different aspects of the complaints.

The sources — including the recollections of close associates and other documentation — describe episodes that left the men upset and offended. These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned journal events and at the journal’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made men who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.

The White House spokesperson did not deny nor offer additional details about the abuse.

Foreign Policy

"They [the Chinese among others] may well assume, as a result of Obama's early actions and international conversation, that the present government of the United States either would not object to these measures [Chinese aggression] or would do nothing concrete to stop them--or perhaps even privately sympathizes with their particular grievances against the Western-inspired world order" (p. 7).

How The Obama Administration Threatens Our National Security by Victor Davis Hanson, Encounter Books (2009).

Obama's apology tour in 2009 negatively impacted the view of America in the eyes of the world.

The election of Obama in 2008 was America's Alaric moment. Alaric was infamous for sacking Rome in 410 AD, an event often seen as symbolic of the decline of the Western Roman Empire. Obama lacked the qualifications for the high office of president, given his lack of experience as a State Senator and as a Senator. As a State Senator, he was criticized for voting "present" on numerous controversial bills, such as promoting abortion, gun control, and criminal justice reform. His lack of decision-making and clarity on important issues made him singularly unqualified for advancement. Thereafter, he supported the renewal of the Patriot Act, which, in a bipartisan effort, expanded the government's surveillance and counterterrorism powers. Civil liberties advocates noted that the law violated the Constitutional rights of Americans.

Nonetheless, on the specious premise of "hope and change," the American people embraced Barack as the savior to solve the race problem in US history. Obama, ever the 1960s-style race agitator, committed a serious misstep on race early on during his presidency. For example, the "beer summit" in July 2009, where Obama sat down with his friend Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and the officer who arrested him, Sergeant James Crowley, who was performing a routine police patrol. In this instance, a president took a clear stance by wading into a local police matter and favored his pal Gates when he called the arrest "stupid." The police were disrespected in this instance and anticipated later serious racial matters during the George Floyd incident. Obama set a trend, by engaging in such a public back-and-forth with a police officer, which could embolden those who criticize law enforcement without understanding the challenges they face. Identify politics grew exponentially after an incident such as the summit. None of Sergeant Crowley's peers identified him with racism precious to the Gates incident, and Obama's summit undermined police morale and public trust in law enforcement.

Obama's presidency was marked by significant controversies and criticisms regarding his handling of constitutional powers and adherence to the rule of law.

Some specific examples include Obama's use of executive action to bypass Congress and enact policy changes, such as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which many argued was an overreach of his authority. Additionally, Obama's administration faced scrutiny for its use of surveillance programs, such as the National Security Agency's bulk data collection, which critics argued violated citizens' Fourth Amendment rights to privacy. Furthermore, Obama's administration was criticized for its handling of the Affordable Care Act, with accusations that it violated the Constitution's Origination Clause by originating in the Senate instead of the House of Representatives ^{(Ermakoff, 2020)}.

Source: This paper will examine these criticisms by comparing Bush and Obama's constitutional power claims and actions in the areas of war powers, signing statements, and veto power ^{(Spitzer, 2012)}.

Examining Constitutional Power Claims

When comparing Obama's constitutional power claims and actions to those of his predecessor, George W. Bush, it becomes evident that Obama pushed the boundaries of executive authority and engaged in actions that were deemed unconstitutional ^{(Spitzer, 2012)}.
