In the 1950s, the Communist Party was discovered to have an agenda to overthrow the U.S.A. This Communist agenda was entered into the 1963 U.S. Congressional Record and consisted of 45 goals to undermine and change American culture and politics. The plan of Communism has been to destroy our nation from within. Here are some of those goals:

Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

Get control of the schools.

Infiltrate the press.

Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

Present homosexuality and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs

Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.”

Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies.

Discredit the family as an institution.

Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents.

Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a “religious crutch.”

It looks like the plan is working as scheduled in America as the Church continues to sleep in the midst of the storm. If the Body of Christ doesn't wake up soon and experience an earth-shaking revival that restores life to the American church....we will lose our freedom without a single battle.

- Dr. Larry Petton
