Revision as of 03:10, May 8, 2011

Obama served on the Board of the Woods Fund of Chicago with Weather Underground terrorist group co-founder Bill Ayers[1] at the time this photo appeared of Ayers stomping the American flag in Chicago Magazine in 2001. Ayers, Obama's boss at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, authored Dreams from My Father published under Obama's name.

President Barack Hussein Obama is the first person having ties to a known former terrorist to gain control over America's nuclear weapons.[2][3] Author and blogger Jack Cashill requisitioned a comparison of the writing style of Bill Ayers' 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, with Barack Obama's earlier 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, and came to the conclusion that Obama's former boss, Bill Ayers, had ghostwritten Dreams.[4] Ayers confesses to violent acts, planting bombs, says he has no regrets and feels he "should have done more."[5] Later Ayers was to publicly admit that he actually did author the book.[6]

Radical leftism and ACORN

Main article : ACORN
Obama was lead attorney for ACORN Housing prior to the subprime mortgage crisis and has extensive experience with the groups "community organizing" tactics.[7] ACORN has been accused of voter fraud, facilitating tax fraud, human trafficking, and child prostitution.

Madeleine Talbot, a leader of the Chicago Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), was arrested along with ACORN members while pursuing direct action against the Chicago City Council. Talbot hired Obama to train her staff in organizing techniques. From 1992 to 2004, Obama ran leadership training sessions.[8] According to the Chicago Daily Herald, Acorn demonstrators pushed over the metal detector and table used to screen visitors, backed police against the doors to the council chamber, and blocked late-arriving aldermen and city staff from entering the session.[9]

In 1994 Obama represented ACORN in the Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank suit against redlining. ACORN was the driving force[10] behind a 1995 regulatory revision pushed through by the Clinton Administration that greatly expanded the Community Redevelopment Act (CRA). Obama represented ACORN before Clinton administration regulators in this effort. With the new regulations, ACORN used its subsidiary, ACORN Housing, and the threat of lawsuits under fair housing laws, to induce lenders to expand subprime lending, or so-called "toxic assets." A 2007 report by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis notes 50% of all subprime mortgages were in predominantly minority census tracks.[11] [12][13]

In the weeks leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, MSNBC reported the FBI was looking into ACORN voter fraud in several states.[14] Obama's staff worked to delay investigations into Obama's former employer. In this way, hundreds of thousands, if not many more, votes may have been overcounted. [9]

Radical and terrorist endorsements and associations

Main article see Weather Underground
Dr. Quentin Young (left) is personal physician to Barack Obama (right) and Bernardine Dohrn (not shown). Dr. Young was reimbursed by the KGB after he paid rent in advance on a storefront he used to treat injured rioters during the disruptions of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.[15][16] The ringleaders, principally Weather Underground terrorists, received urban guerrilla warfare training in Cuba from the DGI prior to the attacks.[17]

In 1995 a cadre of like minded individuals gathered in the home of Weather Underground (WUO) terrorists Bernardine Dohrn and William "Bill" Ayers. According to Dr. Quentin Young, "I can remember being one of a small group of people who came to Bill Ayers' house to learn that Alice Palmer was stepping down from the senate and running for Congress." Dohrn[18] is a veteran of guerrilla warfare training in Cuba prior to the attacks on the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Carl Davidson, webmaster of Progressives for Obama, was told by Fidel Castro at the same time Castro believed the United States was ready for revolution.

Dr. Young related Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer was choosing then Chicago city councilman Barack Obama as her successor.[19] Palmer once served on the executive board of the U.S. Peace Council, a KGB front organization[20] that actively opposed President Ronald Reagan's defense program.

Ayers and Dohrn took credit, and have never denied, responsibility for a series of terrorist bombings which included the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and the State Department.

Ayers, Dohrn and Barack Obama's friendship and associations go back to the 1980s. The Ayers/Dohrn group lent notoriety among leftists to launch Obama's career. Ayers, Dohrn and Jeff Jones[21] of the Apollo Alliance authored Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-imperialism, the title of which is taken from The Sayings of Mao Zedong,[22] "a single spark can set a prairie fire." The book declares "we are communist men and women."[23] Obama Green Czar Van Jones is a founder of the Apollo Alliance. In response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster, Katrina Vanden Huevel of The Nation magazine suggested "we need a Manhattan Project, an Apollo Alliance."[24]

Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996 and served there for the next eight years.

President Obama is the first person having ties to a known former terrorist to gain control over America's nuclear weapons.[25][26] Author and blogger Jack Cashill requisitioned a comparison of the writing style of Bill Ayers' 2001 memoir, Fugitive Days, with Barack Obama's earlier 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, and came to the conclusion that Obama's former boss, Bill Ayers, had ghostwritten Dreams.[27] Ayers confesses to violent acts, planting bombs, says he has no regrets and feels he "should have done more."[28] Later Ayers was to publicly admit that he actually did author the book.[29]

Candidate of the Marxist New Party

For the full article see New Party

In 1995 Obama accepted the nomination, signed a contract,[30] and ran as a candidate of the openly Marxist New Party.[31][32] The New Party was an electoral alliance that worked alongside ACORN, formed by members of the Democratic Socialists for America (SPUSA and DSAUSA) and leaders of an offshoot of the Community Party USA (CPUSA).[33] The New Party was funded by literally hundreds of leftist front-groups operating as special interest 527 organizations.[34]

Opposition to the War on Terror

Obama established himself as a chief spokesperson in opposition to the War on Terror during an October 2002 rally at Federal Plaza in Chicago[35] organized by radical SDS veteran and later Progressives for Obama webmaster,[36] Carl Davidson. The speech was delivered before Operation Iraqi Freedom was authorized by the Democratic controlled U.S. Senate. A Transcript of Obama's speech can be found on barackobama.com and a portion reads as follows:

File:O-2002-antiwar-rally-davidson.jpg
Obama speaking at the October 2002 rally in Chicago organized by Carl Davidson.[37] "[H]e is a brutal man who butchers his own people," nevertheless Obama opposed "dumb wars".
“ What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks ...to distract us from a rise in poverty ... I'm opposed to a dumb war...A war based not on...principle but on politics. Now let me be clear - I suffer no illusions ...he is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has ... developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity. He's a bad guy. The world...would be better off without him. But I also know that [he] poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a US occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that [it] will only... strengthen the recruitment arm of Al Qaeda.[38] ”

According to NPR's Don Gonyea the 2008 Obama Presidential campaign re-created portions of the speech for a television ad with Obama rereading the text and crowd noises added in a sound studio.[39]

U.S. Senate (2004-2008)

Following a failed campaign for the House of Representatives, Obama ran for the open Senate seat from Illinois in 2004. Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. He won a seat in the U.S. Senate after liberals obtained the release of confidential and personally embarrassing divorce records of his opponent, Jack Ryan, forcing him to resign from the race and be replaced by the out-of-state candidate Alan Keyes.

Radical endorsements, support, and get out the vote efforts

The People's Weekly World which describes itself as "the direct descendant of the Daily Worker " that enjoys "a special relationship with the Communist Party USA, founded in 1919," and publishes its news and views,[40] reported on Obama's 2004 Senate primary campaign:

“ Activists from Illinois were immersed in the campaign to elect Barak Obama to the U.S. Senate. Obama won a landslide victory in the March 16 Democratic primary.[41] ”

John Bachtell, Illinois Communist Party district organizer added,

“ This was a historic victory. It was a victory for political independence and grassroots, coalition, and issue oriented politics over the machine and money.[42] ”

In June the People’s Weekly World carried a piece by Dee Myles, chair of the education commission of the Communist Party USA, eulogizing Frank Marshall Davis's old colleague, Vernon Jarrett. Myles said,

“ from his hospital bed, [Jarrett] wrote an article appealing to Black Chicago to turn out to vote for Barack Obama in the Illinois primaries. Obama astounded everyone with an incredible landslide victory as the progressive, Black candidate for the Democratic Party nomination for the U.S. Senate seat from Illinois. From his sickbed, Vernon Jarrett issued a clarion call, and the people responded.[43] ”
