“Two days ago, a gunman executed two police officers for the mere “crime” of wearing a police uniform. The shooter posted a picture of a gun on Instagram, writing, “I’m putting wings on pigs today. They take 1 of ours, let’s take 2 of theirs #ShootThePolice #RIPEricGardner #RIPMikeBrown I’m Putting Pigs in a Blanket.” Clearly, this was a revenge killing based upon the agitation stirred up against police officers for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner. “The intent of this post is not to get into the specifics about why or how Michael Brown and Eric Garner died, who was responsible for their deaths, and whether the police were justified in their actions or not. Rather, it is important to investigate what inspired a gunman to kill two men. “Clearly, the motive was revenge. But the assailant never personally knew either of the people he claimed to be avenging. So, why would he feel so strongly about killing police officers over the deaths of two people he never knew? The answer is agitation. Political agitation is a powerful weapon, and this killer is merely acting out the emotional frenzy instigated by community organizing groups; community organizing groups such as those funded by the Catholic Church. “We’ve already reported on the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, which received $35,000 from the CCHD for this current fiscal year. But even though they are actively promoting communist Marxism and homosexuality, with the apparent blessing of the National CCHD and the Archdiocese of New York, the USCCB must now consider that two men are dead because of the sort of race-baiting agitation and anti-police sentiment instigated by this organization. “On December 18, Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition and its program called Sistas and Brothas United helped organize a march against “police brutality.” While it is right and good to remain vigilant against a potentially ever-growing police state and abuse of powers, it should never agitate emotional fervor to the point of retaliation, but that’s exactly what this kind of organizing does.Other than conferring holier-than-thou status upon themselves, there’s nothing holy about bishops who would take money from unknowing parishoners and turn it over to groups galvanized into action by anti-cop hatred. Nor is there anything in the least bit virtuous about a group of Catholic bishops deliberately setting the long term misery of Marxism on the world through their chosen protegé, Saul Alinsky. Their grotesque sponsorship of Alinsky travelled all the way down through time to the events of August 2008, when the U.S. Democrat Party introduced Barack Obama to the world stage via faux Greek columns. When all dots are connected, Alinsky, chief protest organizer, Revolutionary Communist Party USA chairman Bob Avakian, Obama and his lifetime pal Bill Ayers all had documented connections to Students for a Democratic Society, which later became the radical, bomb-dropping group known as The Weathermen. The ideals of Alinsky mentored of all of the above. It is a fact that Obama openly paid homage to Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, as one of his mentors in community organizing when he made his commencement speech at Georgetown University in 2009. “He was there to pay tribute to his mentors in community organizing. To pay tribute to those who helped put him in office. In his speech he mentioned his high regard for Cardinal Bernardin, who spoke at one of the first organizing meetings he ever attended.” (Canada Free Press, July 28, 2014). The conspiracy that the USCCB has never owned up to and that continues to the present day, went down this way:“First of all, it isn’t by accident that NWBCCC’s twitter logo sports the clenched fist of socialism. As pointed out in our profile on NWBCCC, the organization has close ties to organized communism. It’s also important to understand that the communists have always used agitation and riots in order to destabilize as a means of weakening morale, moral resolve, and resistance to communist encroachment. “But take a look at the agitation enacted by NWBCCC and its project SBU, stirring anti-police sentiment and calling for retaliation. “By repeating the mantras, “don’t shoot” and “I can’t breathe” while calling out police brutality and demanding “justice,” organizations like NWBCCC and SBU create a sense of hopelessness and vigilantism in individuals around them. They encourage people to “band together” and “rise up” against what they perceive to be a systemic problem of injustice. And while they claim that they are doing these things against “violence,” how can they expect that an increased emotional outpouring based upon these sentiments would not spark violent outrage among their target audience? The truth is, this kind of agitation is precisely what led to the deaths of two police officers … and it is precisely this kind of activity that is funded and encouraged by the Catholic Campaign for Human Development.”
“In the 1930s, Alinsky met the Meegan brothers, Joseph and Peter. Joseph introduced him to the Chicago Bishops and to his brother, Fr. Peter Meegan, who in turn introduced Saul to Aux. Bishop Bernard Sheil. Meegan and Sheil introduced Alinsky to the inner workings of the Catholic Church.” (Colorado Coalition for Life/Michael Voris, Feb. 18, 2012). “During this time, Saul organized his first community project called the “Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council”. At this point, Alinsky pulled off his greatest coup and garnered the Bishops’ public seal of approval. He convinced Aux. Bishop Sheil to join John L. Lewis, the head of the CIO (eventually known as the AFLCIO), on stage. At that moment the Catholic Church and the labor unions entered into an unholy partnership. “Msgr. Jack Egan teamed up with Alinsky, and in time, Egan was affectionately known by the Chicago press as “Alinsky’s priest intern”. Egan promoted Alinsky so well that he was more popular among Catholics than the bishops. Through the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s, Egan and Alinsky developed a well oiled network of priests and bishops throughout the United States. In 1968, newly appointed Cardinal Cody realized that what Msgr. Egan was doing was not in line with Catholic doctrine and closed his office. “Fr. Ted Hesburgh invited Msgr. Egan to Notre Dame for a sabbatical. He remained at Notre Dame for the next 14 years where he continued to develop his priest’s network. Egan periodically brought priests to the Catholic Mecca for conferences under the liberal eye of Hesburgh. Egan was now in mainstream Catholic life. “During Egan’s time at Notre Dame in the late ‘60s, race riots broke out around the country. A document called Black Manifesto was published which called for reparations for African Americans. The Catholic Church chose Msgr. Jack Egan and his network of priests to come up with plans to alleviate poverty. All of Egan’s priests, save one, were personally trained by Saul Alinsky in the tactics laid out in his book, Reveille for Radicals. This opportunity allowed Egan’s network of priests to implement Saul Alinsky’s radical community organizing tactics of gaining power and strength from the people and using it to empower and enlarge government. “In a few months, the network created the “National Crusade Against Poverty” (NCAP) and committed to raise 50 million dollars over several years. The campaign should have raised the money and dissolved. It did not, and in fact, it is still in existence today under the name of the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development”. The CCHD has raised over $289,000,000 in 40 years, and by donating to the radical left, they have gained immense power in the abortion and homosexual communities.”“After four years living in New York City, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer. He worked for three years from June 1985 to May 1988 as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization originally comprising eight Catholic parishes in Greater Roseland (Roseland, West Pullman, and Riverdale) on Chicago’s far South Side. During his three years as the DCP’s director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants’ rights organization in Altgeld Gardens. Obama also worked as a consultant and instructor for the Gamaliel Foundation, a community organizing institute.” (Wikipedia) As long as their bishops are supporting soul-killing Marxism, Catholics should stop supporting their bishops.
