Thought Control:
The President's Method?

Part 2.5 of 3

Thought Control: The Implementation of the First Seven Secret Tactics

Saul Alinsky - Thought ControlOne excellent Model of Thought Control is that which Saul Alinsky espoused.

In 1968, Saul Alinsky offered Hillary Clinton a job.

In 1985, 13 years after Alinsky died, the same organization offered Barack Obama a job. This specific job was to organize Chicago's south side Blacks and apply the Alinsky Philosophy with the group he would attempt to help.

Years later, Obama told the press that the Alinsky experience was the best education he ever had. Unlike Obama, Clinton declined Alinsky's offer. However, her great respect for Alinsky was manifest in her once sealed Bachelor's Thesis from Wellesley. The subject? The Alinsky Model.

Obama worked three years for Alinsky's organization, organizing small groups of impoverished people in Roseland.

Obama also taught the Alinsky Method. This does not mean that the future President would retain the entire philosophy and strategic approach, but as a teacher of the method, an expert in the Thought Control Model, it gives cause for close analysis.

Hillary Clinton Wellesley Paper on Saul AlinskyThe influence of Alinsky on both of these leaders was dramatic. Clinton would later go on to raise money for Alinsky's organization and along with her husband's administration, all wanted her thesis sealed. (It is now available through careful searches on the Internet.)

The Method had Some Positive Effects

The work that Alinsky did was helpful for the impoverished communities within which he worked. Obama's use of the Model during his time with the organization was put to good use.

The Alinsky Method, in part, required one on one connection with people, creating group cohesion from the neuron to neuron level...if you will... Alinsky's desire was to discover what made people tick. "Do you think we should do this?" "What role would you like to play?" (We'll return to those excellent elicitations later in the article.)

Obama and Hillary Clinton, Alinsky Disciples
Here we are discussing three people, Alinsky, Clinton and Obama, who clearly wanted to cause life to be better for groups that were impoverished.

And Alinsky's work, on whole, was a net positive for communities he worked with.

So why do the conservatives dislike any of the three aforementioned individuals? And what are they seeing that might be right or wrong that could possibly pose as a threat?

And, curiously, why did both Clinton and Obama consistently refuse to discuss publicly Alinsky and his Method?

It is...curious.
