The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political tactic to achieve radical social change by overloading a system, particularly the welfare system, to create a crisis that would force reforms. It is linked to mass immigration, which increases the number of people on the welfare system.  One of the goals is to implement a universal basic income.

The strategy is being implemented in Canada by Mark Carney and it could be that it is also being deployed in the UK.

The Cloward-Piven strategy is a political tactic developed in 1966 by sociologists Richard Cloward and his wife Frances Fox Piven.  The strategy aimed at achieving radical social change by deliberately overloading a system, particularly the welfare system, to create a crisis that would force reforms.

The strategy involves mobilising marginalised groups to demand their rights and services, increasing the demand on the system to the point of overload, and using the resulting crisis to negotiate for broader social reforms.

Cloward and Piven argued that if all eligible individuals applied for welfare benefits, the system would be overwhelmed, exposing the inadequacies of the existing safety net and creating a political crisis that could lead to the establishment of a guaranteed minimum income, also known as universal basic income.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy in Canada

Using a tweet posted by Ivor Cummins, Neil Oliver describes how the Cloward-Piven Strategy is being implemented in Canada by Mark Carney.  You can read Cummins’ tweet HERE or as posted by JayGen Xerca on the Threadreader App HERE, which we have also attached below in the event it is removed.

Carney has supported massive government stimulus spending, including the Canada Emergency Response Benefit, which cost over CAD$81 billion, and has praised the role of public finance in accelerating a shift to stakeholder capitalism.  “What the likes of Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum calls ‘stakeholder capitalism’ is fascism by any other name,” Oliver said.

“In Canada, the Cloward-Piven strategy is running full force, also being engineered is the elimination of private property via regulation, taxation and debt traps,” Oliver said.  “It’s happening to Canadians now, but the Cloward-Piven strategy is all around us in the West, in the UK included.”

The goal of the Cloward-Piven strategy is to create permanent dependency on the government, increase control over people and ultimately lead to the implementation of universal basic income and central bank digital currencies, which would give the government complete control over people’s transactions and lives.

The Cloward-Piven Strategy in the United States

In September 2024, before Donald Trump’s second term as US President began, Really Graceful, an American podcaster and author of the book ‘The Deep State Encyclopedia: Exposing the Cabal’s Playbook’ published a video about three plans to dismantle society.  You can watch her video on Rumble HERE or YouTube HERE.

First, Really Graceful discussed the United Nations’ plan for mass migration.  In March 2000, the UN published a 177-page report on replacement migration, examining how migration could counteract population decrease due to declining birth rates in countries like Japan, South Korea, numerous European countries and the US.

“This document presented a litany of migration scenarios. It examined how immigration could address labour shortages and keep the economy rolling. But notice, curiously, it’s not recommended that these nations encourage population growth through incentivising family building,” she said.

The United Nations reinforced its migration plans in its Agenda 2030.  Really Graceful explores the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in her book, “But basically, Agenda 2030 outlines a blueprint for world socialism where migration is key to every [Sustainable] Development Goal,” she said.

• Replacement Migration: Is it a Solution to Declining and Ageing Populations? Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), 21 March 2000 (archived HERE)

The second plan Really Graceful mentioned was the Cloward-Piven strategy, which aims to overload the US welfare system, leading to its collapse and plunging the US into a crisis.  The response to the crisis would be radical social change.  “They were hoping that this collapse would disrupt American capitalism and, in its place, there would be guaranteed annual income so all the poor would have money … on a universal basic income,” she said.

What does immigration have to do with the Cloward-Piven strategy?  Mass immigration increases the number of people on the welfare system, and we “can’t overload a system if there’s no overload.”

And thirdly, to explore whether there was a racial aspect to the mass migration, she noted the Kalergi Plan, as envisioned by the Freemason Richard Von Coudenhove-Kalergi, who was of mixed heritage (Austrian and Japanese). He was a pioneer of European integration and was the founder of the Pan-European Union (“PEU”), which promoted a unified European state.  He served as PEU’s president for 49 years, until his death.  The PEU laid the groundwork for later European integration efforts, which culminated in the establishment of the European Union.

Coudenhove-Kalergi’s plan to create a unified European state began with replacing native populations with a mixed-race population to create a more controllable and homogeneous populace.  Because mixed-race people wouldn’t be weighed down by, for example, culture or traditions, “meaning they would be easier to govern under something like a global regime,” Really Gracefully said.

Is the Cloward-Piven Strategy Being Deployed in the UK?

In a newsletter at the end of last month, Migration Watch UK (“MW”) commented on the immigration statistics for 2024.  “This massive increase in immigration brings much greater stress on key infrastructure and public services, especially the NHS, our transport services, and social housing,” they said.

The month before, MW warned that the current trajectory of mass migration will polarise and destabilise the UK.  “We have at MW been making the point for years on the majority becoming the minority within a generation, if not sooner than previously thought, given the scale of migration and the dwindling total fertility rate,” they said.

MW quoted from an article by Pimlico Journal, which said: “The basic expectation is that for the foreseeable future, a rapidly diminishing cohort of young, predominantly white, professionals will be forced to carry the economic burden of fiscally supporting the rest of the country [i.e. pay for it], while experiencing declining living standards and the negative externalities of crime and anti-social behaviour, both principally (though obviously not entirely) caused by mass migration. This is economically, politically and morally impossible.”

Pimlico Journal mentioned immigration causing declining living standards. How does mass immigration cause living standards for the whole population to decline?  The UK’s immigration-driven population growth is placing significant pressure on various public services:

• the influx of migrants has led to a surge in GP registrations;
• the increasing student population has put a strain on schools;
• the growing population has contributed to congestion on roads and public transportation; and,
• the UK’s natural resources, such as water and energy, are being stretched to accommodate the expanded population.

There is an additional and significant area of concern: The replacement of indigenous peoples or people of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English heritage, their religion and their culture.

It’s difficult not to conclude that the Cloward-Piven strategy, combined with the Kalergi Plan, is being implemented in the UK, which is perhaps a plan being dictated by the oligarchs through the UN’s Agenda 2030.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.
