America has a growing enemy within. This enemy is referred to by experts as America’s Fifth Column. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the term Fifth Column refers to “A clandestine group or faction of subversive agents who attempt to undermine a nation’s solidarity [unity] by any means at their disposal.”
As Britannica notes, the term is credited to Emilio Mola Vidal, a Nationalist general during the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). As four of his army columns moved on Madrid, the general referred to his militant supporters within the capital as his “fifth column,” intent on undermining the loyalist government from within.
Does such a group of subversive agents’ intent upon undermining American unity actually exist today? If they do, who are they, what are their methods and what is their goal?
Methods of a Fifth Column
Britannica states that “A cardinal technique of the fifth column is the infiltration of sympathizers into the entire fabric of the nation under attack and, particularly, into positions of policy decision and national defense.”
In America, there are those who “make policy” and those who “influence” policy.
We call the “policy makers” elected officials. Politicians decide national policy, including matters of national defense. But to be an effective fifth column, agents must meld into all facets of society, gaining positions of power to make or influence policy.
When it comes to positions of influence over policy, there is no more influential power in America today than that of the media. The press, the TV and movie industry, radio and news magazines, combine for a monumental influence over policy. Combined, the media controls the flow of information, which is used to shape public opinion and in the end, public sentiment will influence public policy at the voting booth.
In order to gain those powerful positions in a democratic society, politicians and media elites alike must conceal their ultimate intentions under a guise of something less overtly threatening.
In order to conceal their agenda of undermining the nation they claim to serve, these agents must use a plausible cover for their hidden agenda.
Hidden in the Open
SNIP:
Unfortunately, many members of Congress are active members of America’s Fifth Column today, including but not at all limited to those who are listed in the membership rolls of organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America, who hold powerful positions in today’s Democrat Party. Others are members of the Communist Party USA or the Socialist Party USA, both of which now work behind the scenes of the Democrat Party.
The goal is “equality.” Since it is not possible to make everyone equally ambitious, equally talented, equally fortunate, equally intelligent, or equally willing to work and sacrifice, the route to true “equality” is to follow the teachings of Karl Marx, to “take from each according to his ability; and give to each according to his need” – This is the modern mantra of today’s Democrat Party and even many members of the Republican Party now accept these concepts.
This is the goal. These are the methods and those who “undermine a nation’s solidarity [unity] by any means at their disposal” are indeed members of the Fifth Column in America today.
America is at a crossroads in 2008, where it will decide to leap headlong into the agenda prepared and promoted by the American Fifth Column, or steer back from the brink. It’s vital that every America know thy enemy and what is at stake… Meet the American Fifth Column.
