Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing blog post of the day: 'Communist sectors...American media-style'

[Jim Snyder-Grant (jimsg]

Nancy Levant writes scary but hilarious stuff. She is way way beyond
the Daughters of the American Revolution. I couldn't resist posting
this one in full, from January of 2006. If you Google for any of the
unusual phrases, putting quotes around the entire phrase, you'll be
able to find it quickly.  I'll confess my reaction is to tiptoe away
quietly, rather than try to engage with her, because of the level of
her paranoia.

I've been surfing the Net a lot lately because I am absolutely
fascinated by the Communitarian communities in the United States. You
find them under many names like 'Co-Communities, Intentional Housing,
Eco-Communities,' and others. When you go to specific community sites,
you will be struck by the presumptuous language regarding their
'visions' They all have 'visions' And some of the visions are pretty
amazing.

Visions include happiness, togetherness, group projects,
environmentalism, gatherings, group meals, group parenting, and of
course, consensus. God knows you wouldn't want a democracy up and
running in a community. And yet, Communitarian communities do, I've
discovered, tend to appoint leaders for consensus gatherings.

And the photographs that are posted on many of these websites are,
frankly, strange. Hugely smiling people - too smiling, and far, far
too happy. Let's face it. Life is stressed and strained, and you only
see overly smiling faces on teeth bleaching commercials or pasted into
the Christmas cards of the wealthy who somehow believe that toothy
photos of themselves are holy season greetings.

You will see smiling gardeners, smiling pedestrian walkway strollers,
smiling dishwashers, smiling salad prep-ers - all smiling as if they'd
won a super lotto. One might think that posing for the camera was a
vision and mission of these communities.

And there is something reminiscent about the whole 'group think'
ideology that makes me very nervous. So let's lay a few cards on the
table and talk about the kind of people who would be enchanted by
Communitarian living.

I'd guess, first and foremost, that the needy would seek community --
emotionally, physically, perhaps financially, but needy. People who
are lonely and want to be included into the lives of others, or
perhaps ones who simply have no people in their lives. Perhaps the
frightened and vulnerable would be drawn to communal living. In many
ways, the deed-restricted communities in Florida cater to senior
citizens and their lifestyles. Senior communities make at least
partial sense, but communitarian co-housing is far different. For
along with the physical housing, one must agree to the 'vision' of the
community in order to live in the community. Please tell me how this
is different from Jim Jones? community in Guyana? For that matter, how
are these communities different from the house rules of child and
senior foster homes or boarding houses or schools? The bottom line and
outcome for 'intentional housing' communities is social
re-engineering, just as in any cult. Your world, and how you see and
live it, is to change as per the visionary wisdoms of 'the communit'
If you in any way, shape, or form doubt this, go immediately to
www.gwu.edu/~icps/about.html. Here you will find the George Washington
University Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies. Spend some time
searching through this site and then go explore 'intentional' or
'co-housing'

The true purposes of these new villages are three-fold:

1.Grow and implant the Communitarian governmental system and way of life

2.Eliminate Judeo-Christian foundations and ethics.

3.Cluster the masses.

4.          Eliminate private ownership of property.



The reasons for all the above provide fodder for the next three
articles, which I will get to, but what is important to understand is
that the probability of cult-like activities and brainwashing in
Communitarian communities is all but a given.




They are closed social systems, and consensus, based upon visioning
or envisioning, has a name. That name is manipulation. The 'leaders'
of Communitarian communities are trained facilitators and frequently
ex-military or law enforcement. If you type the word 'envisioning
training' into your search engines, you will discover that there are
hundreds of organizations who offer envisioning or visioning training.
You will discover that many of these organizations offer specialty
training for educators, business managers, and for upper level
management.

Training sessions teach students to take pre-conceived and
pre-planned missions and present them to ordinary people or newcomers.
Envisioning students are taught how to implant pre-planned missions
into the minds of citizens, and to manipulate them into believing that
they, themselves, have come up with those missions, and then
envisioners actually tell people how to implement the mission.

People who are the founding fathers and mothers of eco-communitarian
communities are trained to use consensus strategies to gain control
over community visions. And once they have achieved this within their
communities, voila! A political following and/or cult is born.

Jim Jones used the strategy. Other immoral ministers have used the
strategy, and immoral management uses the strategy regularly in
today's business models. Sadly, envisioning is rampant in our public
school system. Public-private partnerships use trained envisioners for
environmental manipulation in just about every berg and city in our
nation, and today, using very sophisticated envisioning models and
schemes, they are stealing American land and watersheds, thousands of
acres at a time, each and every day. As you can see, envisioning is
very effective and it is, in a nutshell, mind control.

We are being herded into 'communities' We are being socially and
culturally re-engineered into controlled Communitarians. Now, what
exactly, you ask, is a Communitarian? Just look at the word for a
minute. Look for the root word. When you actually own nothing and you
are responsible to and answer to a pre-planned legacy (called
community), and when you can be deemed unfit if you don't agree with a
manufactured 'vision' you can pretty well guess that your are living
under a Communistic system.

Several of my favorite American Communitarian communities proclaim
that transvestites and transgender persons are welcomed and encouraged
to join the villages. What a vision?

Also keep in mind that most communal living communities, including
foster homes, group homes, senior group homes, public schools,
prisons, and even assisted living systems are rampant with sexual and
other physical abuses, intimidations of all kinds, mind control, theft
of personal property, and fear.

When the predominant housing trend in the United States is to place
citizens inside of envisioned communities, most of which also having
private security details called COPS (Community Oriented Police
Services), which is administered through the Department of Justice,
one worries about many things, and especially children who are being
raised in and by these 'villages' Study Communitarianism. Visit their
community websites.
