In the previous two editions of this three-part series I asserted, as the title suggests, that America was clearly warned 50 years ago this year on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives about the Marxist agenda that has been systematically infused into the fabric, foundation, and functions of the nation by the adherents of communism in America. That warning came from a courageous Florida Congressman who read into the record 45 goals of the communists operating covertly toward the socialization our nation that were published in a small Deland, Florida newspaper. In Parts 1 and 2 of this series, I delineated 30 of 45 goals of the then underground communist movement the Congressman laid out in his speech. In this edition, I want to enumerate the remaining 15 of those goals (prefaced by the preamble of the official record), followed by additional commentary of my own regarding a related prophetic message I delivered to a rather shocked and disbelieving audience more than two decades ago.

Communist Goals (1963) Congressional Record–Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Thursday, January 10, 1963 .
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
- 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.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
- Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture–education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
-
Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
-
Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
-
Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
-
Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
-
Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
-
Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
-
Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
-
Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
-
Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
-
Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [“]united force[“] to solve economic, political or social problems.
-
Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
-
Internationalize the Panama Canal.
-
Repeal the Connally Reservation so the U.S. cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike. {end excerpt from Congressional Record}
While I would want to comment on each of these last 15 goals, space will not allow, though I will reiterate the overall comment I expressed in the previous editions, which is the sad fact that virtually all 45 goals of the communists’ agenda delineated in the Congressman’s speech as provided by the newspaper publisher to whom he attributed them, whether verbatim or virtual, could be tagged, “Fait accompli!”
In addition, I want to capsulize what I wrote in another article in which I commented on what proved to be a prophetic message I delivered in December, 1989, over 23 years ago now. The message title was, “God’s Perestroika,” and its overall thrust concerned the “Restructure”—meaning of the Russian word, “perestroika”—God was and would be bringing about in the genuine Church Jesus is building. I predicted in the serious and somber message major governmental debacle and dismantling that would be occurring in succeeding decades in many nations of the world, beginning with the U.S.S.R. In November, 1989, East Germany issued a decree for the Berlin Wall dividing free Berlin from Communist Berlin that had stood for 28 years to be opened to allow free ingress/egress between the East and West factions of the city. By the end of 1990 the wall was completely demolished contemporaneously with the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and in U.S.S.R., marking the end of the Cold War era. The historic opening of the Berlin Wall came only a little more than two years after U.S. President Ronald Reagan, “In a speech at the Brandenburg Gate commemorating the 750th anniversary of Berlin, by the Berlin Wall on June 12, 1987,”1 decreed, “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!”
The prophetic nature of the message is irrefutable, and it contains prophetic predictions only God could have known. While I had prepared an unusually detailed and lengthy outline for the message I had worked on and research for weeks prior to the night I delivered it, when I actually delivered the message, per usual, the Spirit spoke many things through me that were not in the outline or even my mind. I am amazed and humbled regarding the veracity and verity of the message’s substance. (The actual audio recording of the message is available on the page linked above as well.)
In the months preceding my delivery of the message, Mikhail Gorbechov2, the President of the Soviet Union and General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was drawing global attention to massive paradigmatic changes in the U.S.S.R., advocating “perestroika”3 and spearheading a movement to basically disassemble the U.S.S.R.
But, beyond all that, I also spoke about the future “fall” of many other governments among the nations of the world that would be occurring in the years ahead. Among the prophetic predictions were the failure and fall of Communism, Socialism, Fascism, wherever it was extant, due to the fact that they had already been proven time and time again over the course of that century to be utterly false, faulty, and ineffective doctrines, inspired and proliferated by demons (cf., 1 Tim. 4:1-2). I prophesied that in the coming years God would be shaking everything that can be shaken, including all the kingdoms of men throughout the world, and that everything that is not of God’s Kingdom will be shaken, so that, “The only thing that is going to remain standing, in the end, is the word of the Lord” and the Kingdom of God (cf., Heb. 12:25-29).
At one point, I went totally “off script” and shocked even myself by saying that one day not far into the future we here in the U.S. as well as those living in other free nations around the world, would see a failing and falling even of “democracy” and our democratic republican form of government for a time. It is obvious to me, as regretful and grievous as it is, that over the nearly two and a half decades since we have been witnessing that prophetic prediction gradually being fulfilled and culminating with the ongoing attempts by the present administration and radical left elements of the political realm and our government to undermine and ultimately totally dismantle the democratic ideological foundations and substructure on which our government is predicated.
But, as indicated in this series, Americans cannot say we were not warned…repeatedly…not only by the Congressman and newspaper publisher quoted in this series, but many other sources for 50 years or more. However, unfortunately, the last four or more generations of Americans have refused to listen to the many prophets, political and spiritual, God has sent to trumpet forth dire warning about the destruction of America. Following the lead of the Church, this nation, along with the others, does not heed God’s prophets, have intellectually decided that they no longer exist, and that the God of whom they are servants, if He does exist, somehow was suddenly stricken dumb several millennia ago when the last word of the last chapter of the last “Old Testament” book was scribed.
Now America’s only hope is that God’s people heed the divine counsel God spoke to Solomon: “If MY PEOPLE who are called by MY NAME humble themselves and pray, and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, will forgive THEIR sin, and will heal THEIR land!” (2 Chr. 7:14).###
