Understanding the Cloward-Piven Strategy

The Cloward-Piven strategy might sound like complex political jargon, but it's a concept that's worth understanding, especially when considering current U.S. government actions. Let’s break it down in straightforward terms.

What’s the Cloward-Piven Strategy?

Developed in the 1960s by sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, this strategy is essentially about creating a crisis to force political change. Imagine a factory where workers keep demanding more and more - higher wages, better conditions, more breaks. If the demands become too much for the factory to handle, it could lead to major changes in management or operations.

Applying This to U.S. Government Actions

Some folks argue that the way the U.S. government is handling certain things mirrors this strategy. Let’s look at three key areas:

1. National Debt: Think of this like a household that keeps spending way beyond its means. Eventually, the bills pile up too high, and something’s got to give. If the government keeps racking up debt, it could lead to a big financial mess.

2. Immigration Policies: Picture a small town suddenly getting an influx of new residents but without the infrastructure to support them. If immigration isn’t managed properly, it could overwhelm the system, stretching resources thin.

3. Global Wars and Crises: This is like a contractor taking on too many jobs at once. If the U.S. is involved in too many conflicts abroad, it could drain our resources and focus.

Is the Government Really Using This Strategy?

That’s a hot topic. Some believe these actions are deliberately pushing the country towards a crisis, in line with the Cloward-Piven approach. Others think it's more about poor management or other factors, not a deliberate strategy. More incompetence than malevolence. What’s clear is that government decisions can have big impacts, intentional or not.

In plain terms, the Cloward-Piven strategy is about forcing change by overwhelming a system, whether it’s a government or something else. When we look at issues like national debt, immigration, and international conflicts, some people see a pattern that fits this strategy. Whether it's intentional or just a result of different factors is a matter of debate.

Ukraine Safeguarding its Troops with Technology

If you have wondered why Russia is losing so many men and Ukraine is not, this will help explain it. Russia is sending men into the front lines where they are killed by drone operators from Ukraine who are hundreds of miles away from the front lines.

This Senate Speech About Iran Will Shift Your Entire Perspective. WATCH EVERY SECOND

In 1 Corinthians 16:22, it is written that if anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed or devoted to destruction. Earlier in chapter 3, we see that when Christ judges God's people, the works not done in love apart from Him will be destroyed forever. The believer will then suffer an eternal loss of reward by the testing of fire (1 Cor. 3:13–15). Likewise in chapter 5, we see Paul commands the saints to give over an unrepentant man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, though spiritually he will remain saved (1 Cor. 5:5).

Later in chapter 11, we find some of the Corinthians experiencing a type of destruction; they physically died on account of their "lovelessness" toward their brethren and the Lord as they partook of the body and blood of Christ (1 Cor. 11:29–30). For in chapter 13, Paul makes it clear that even if we do many good works, possess deep faith, hold vast knowledge, and even sacrifice ourselves, without love as our source of motivation, we are nothing and gain...

A Rare Opportunity to Build Something That Will Last

For the past several years, we've been praying and working toward one goal: establishing a permanent home for Frontier Forge Academy.

Frontier Forge was founded on a simple conviction—that strong families, strong communities, and a free nation depend on men and women of faith, character, courage, and competence. Our mission is to equip the next generation with the practical skills, biblical foundation, and servant-leadership they'll need to lead well wherever God calls them. This has always been about far more than education; it's about preparing people to serve others and faithfully steward the responsibilities they've been given.

Today, an extraordinary opportunity has opened before us.

The property we've been pursuing in the mountains of West Virginia has officially been placed up for public auction. That means we have a limited window to secure what we believe could become the permanent home of Frontier Forge Academy before it belongs to someone else.

You can view the auction listing here:
https://www.auctionzip.com/Listings/4157840.html

This property has the potential to become a place where young men and women are trained not only in practical skills and emergency preparedness, but also in leadership, stewardship, and biblical truth. It's a place where families can gather, where future leaders can be mentored, and where lives can be shaped for generations to come. Rather than spending years building from the ground up, we have the opportunity to establish that foundation now.

If you've followed my work over the years, you know this vision has been on my heart for a long time. Whether you've watched my reporting, attended one of our events, or simply believe that the next generation deserves better preparation than the world is offering, I'm asking you to prayerfully consider helping us seize this opportunity.

Every donation, no matter the amount, is an investment in a mission that will outlast all of us. The impact of this property won't be measured in acres or buildings, but in the lives that will be transformed there for decades to come.

If you'd like to help make this vision a reality, you can make a tax-deductible donation here:

https://www.frontierforge.org/vision

If you're unable to give financially, I would ask you to do two things: pray with us, and share this post with others who believe in what we're building together.

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the mission of Frontier Forge Academy. With God's provision and your partnership, we have an opportunity to establish something that will continue equipping faithful, capable leaders for generations to come.

The Power of Propaganda: Why It Works And How To Stop It

Foreign governments no longer need to convince Americans what to think—they only need to convince us to hate each other. In this special report, I break down how Russia, China, Iran, and Qatar exploit social media, influencers, and political division to manipulate public opinion. From Russian troll farms and campus protests to the "firehose of falsehood" strategy, I explain why propaganda today is less about changing your mind and more about destroying your trust. Most importantly, I discuss how to recognize these tactics before becoming part of someone else's information campaign.
