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 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]

Maoism

Frank Marshall Davis, Communist Party Card No. 47544.[7] The U.S. Congress found the Communist Party an "instrumentality of a conspiracy...the agency of a hostile foreign power."[8] The FBI placed Davis in its security index, meaning he could be detained in the event of a national emergency.[9] Davis was an early influence on Obama.[10]

Political Affairs magazine describes itself as "affiliated with the Communist Party USA,"[11] (CPUSA) published a speech by Prof. Gerald Horne upon receipt of the CPUSA archives at the Tamiment Library at New York University on March 28, 2007. Prof. Horne stated,

an African-American poet and journalist by the name of Frank Marshall Davis...befriended another family – a Euro-American family – that had migrated to Honolulu...a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya ...who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago. In his bestselling memoir Dreams of my Father, the author speaks warmly of an older black poet...as being a decisive influence in helping him to find his present identity as an African-American... At some point in the future, a teacher will add to her syllabus Barack’s memoir and instruct her students to read it alongside Frank Marshall Davis’ equally affecting memoir...when that day comes...a future student will ...examine critically the Frankenstein monsters that US imperialism created in order to subdue Communist parties..."[12]

evoking the language in Chairman Mao's Little Red Book,

unite and defeat the U.S. aggressors... Monsters of all kinds shall be destroyed.[13][14]

In the 1995 book, Dreams from my Father, the author wrote Obama learned to respect Davis's struggles, "recognizing them as my own." Obama sought Davis's advise as he left for college.[15] Initially Obama attended Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, before transferring to Columbia University in New York, New York and graduating without honors as a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in political science. Obama refuses to describe his academic performance at Columbia despite commenting about New York during this period and despite disclosures of the academic record for all other major-party presidential candidates since at least 2000.[16]

Radical leftism and ACORN

See also: Far Left and ACORN
Obama was lead attorney for ACORN Housing prior to the subprime mortgage crisis and has extensive experience with the groups "community organizing" tactics.[17] 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.[18] 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.[19]

In 1994 Obama represented ACORN in the Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank suit against redlining. ACORN was the driving force[20] behind a 1995 regulatory revision pushed through by the Clinton Administration that greatly expanded the Community Reinvestment 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.[21] [22][23]

In the weeks leading up to the 2008 Presidential election, MSNBC reported the FBI was looking into ACORN voter fraud in several states.[24] 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. [10]

Chicago communists

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.[25][26] The ringleaders, principally Weather Underground terrorists, received urban guerrilla warfare training in Cuba from the DGI prior to the attacks.[27]

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[28] 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.[29] Palmer once served on the executive board of the U.S. Peace Council, a KGB front organization[30] 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[31] 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,[32] "a single spark can set a prairie fire." The book declares "we are communist men and women."[33]
Van Jones and Obama
In 1999, state senator Obama helped to found an organization known as Demos,[34] an organization which listed Van Jones as a member of the Board of Trustees for years.[35][36] It is likely that Demos is where Obama and Van Jones first met.[37] Obama Green Czar Van Jones is also 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."[38]

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.[39][40] 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.[41] Ayers confesses to violent acts, planting bombs, says he has no regrets and feels he "should have done more."[42] Later Ayers was to publicly admit that he actually did author the book.[43]

Candidate of the Marxist New Party

For the full article see New Party

In 1995 Obama accepted the nomination, signed a contract,[44] and ran as a candidate of the openly Marxist New Party.[45][46] 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).[47] The New Party was funded by literally hundreds of leftist front-groups operating as special interest 527 organizations.[48]

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[49] organized by radical SDS veteran and later Progressives for Obama webmaster,[50] 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:


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.[51]

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.[52]

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.

CPUSA 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,[53] 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.[54]
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.[55]
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.[56]

The influence of Maoist thought

For more information, see Maoism

A deep strain of Maoist Thought has pervaded Barack Obama's influences throughout his life and persisted in appointments he has made as President.

SDS veteran and Progressives for Obama webmaster[57] Carl Davidson first met Barack Obama through the Chicago New Party, whose endorsement and campaign workers Obama sought and accepted in his run for the Illinois state senate in 1996. Davidson organized the October 2002 rally at Federal Plaza in Chicago[58] where Obama was established as a chief spokesperson for anti-US foreign policy. Davidson was a leading member of the October League (OL) and the Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist), or CP(M-L)[59] hailed by Chinese Communist Party chairman Hua Guofeng at banquet for CP(M-L) leaders in Beijing in 1977 as the semi-official Maoist party in the United States. Hua Guofeng declared the founding of the CP(ML) a “new victory of the Marxist-Leninist Movement in the U.S.”[60] Davidson is a longtime supporter of the VVAW[61] whose chief spokesman John Kerry charged American servicemen with war crimes. The VVAW worked in collusion with North Vietnam and the Vietcong to organize a domestic insugency[62] and the defeat of the United States in Vietnam.[63] In 2004 Davidson said, "the U.S government, at least over the past 50 years, has been the chief terrorist and sponsor of terrorism in the world."[64]

Shepard Fairey, designer of the official Obama hope and change logo, is more known for his anti-American and pro-communist themes. Here a Maoist revolutionary is depicted. [9]

Obama appointed Anita Dunn as White House Communications Office Director in April 2009. In June 2009 Dunn publicly declared herself, before a group of high students, to be a deep admirer of Chairman Mao's political philosophy. Mao is recognized as the largest mass murderer ever on the planet.[65]

Obama appointee Van Jones was a founder[66] of the "often vulgar Maoist"[67][68] organization STORM. STORM's own literature describes the organization as laying a foundation to build "Third World communism." The group studied Lenin's theories of the state, revolution, the party, and "the political ideas of Mao Tse-tung."[69] According to the document, the "growing Maoist orientation" within the group was a factor contributing to internal strife and the group's eventual dissolution.[70] The document states that in addition to "the basics of Marxism, including dialectical materialism," it conducted "a group reading of Mao's On Practice and On Contradiction" and "pushed at or went beyond the limits of the traditional Marxist canon, studying such topics as revolutionary feminism, the Palestinian liberation struggle, transgender liberation, methods of evaluation, self-care for cadre and revolutionary mass [community] organizing."[71] The group was extensively involved in the community organizing movement.[72] In 1992 the premier Maoist organization in the United States, the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP)[73] and offshoot of SDS was instrumental in fomenting riots in Los Angeles in which 58 people were killed, and more than 2,300 injured in the wake of the trial of four police officers charged with beating Rodney King.[74] Van Jones traveled from Connecticut to be on hand and was arrested in the aftermath.[75] Van Jones is also a founding board member of Apollo Alliance for clean energy and so-called "green-collar jobs." [11] Jeff Jones is the New York State director of Apollo Alliance. [12] Jeff Jones was a member of the Maoist Action Faction of SDS and along with Ayers and Dohrn co-authored Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-imperialism based on the Sayings of Chairman Mao.

Obama Car Czar Ron Bloom declared himself in agreement with Chairman Mao and referred to the free market system as "nonsense."[76]

Obama fundraiser, personal friend, and former employer Dr. Bill Ayers' teaching curricula relies heavily on material that use Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin, Vladimir Lenin, and Fidel Castro as authoritative sources.[77] Ayers has been a committed Maoist since at least 1969.[78] Ayers is said to have ghost written part of Barack Obama's autobiography, Dreams From My Father.[79] Ayers was a leader in the SDS's Maoist "Action Faction" which became the Weather Underground (WUO). Ayers, Jeff Jones, and Mark Rudd of Progressives for Obama paid homage to Anna Louise Strong, author of the The Thought of Mao Tse-tung,[80] after purging deviationist elements from the SDS leadership in 1969.[81]

Ayers wife, former FBI Top Ten Most Wanted terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, worked in the Law Firm of Sidley Austin[82] in the late 1980s where Barack, Michelle Obama, and Dohrn first met. Dohrn participated in the purging of CPUSA elements from SDS leadership and declared the refurbished SDS leadership would be responsible for the correct Marxist-Leninist line and would exclude non-Maoist, "deviationist" views. Dohrn held the leadership position of Inter-Organizational Secretary in the SDS National Office. The Ayers/Dohrn faction of SDS formed the Weather Underground Organization. SDS Regional Community Organizer David Gilbert declared violent Third World revolution was the only way to achieve "world communism," the goal of WUO.[83]

ACORN founder Wade Rathke was an alumnus of the Maoist dominated Students for a Democratic Society (SDS).[84] Obama told ACORN "during the transition, we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America."[85]

The Honolulu Record, the newspaper Obama's mentor Frank Marshall Davis wrote for was accused of Maoist deviationism during the Sino-Soviet split by its CPUSA overlords.[86]

The poster states, "Any investigation of the 1970s will reveal that the "New Communist Movement" evolved more than less outside the Soviet ideological polarity, with many clinging to their particular conception of Mao Ze Tung Thought. During the 1973-1975 period Mr. Davidson did conduct polemics against Trotskyism in the pages of the Guardian and this is perhaps the reason for the current continuing dispute. At that time I was a member of the Communist League in Detroit and Mr. Davidson was a leading member of the October League which sided with the China polarity in the "Sino-Soviet" split rather than taking marching orders from the Kremlin."

The fifth paragraph of this document makes clear that the Vietnamese communists were utilizing for their propaganda purposes the activities of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The protest described as occurring from April 19 through April 22, 1971 coincides directly with the dates of Dewey Canyon III, the Washington, DC, protest led by John Kerry, during which John Kerry's testimony before Senator Fulbright's Foreign Relations Committee was a televised centerpiece. The description of the protest activities in the Directive even include the "return their medals" ceremony in which John Kerry and other VVAW members threw their medals and/or ribbons toward the steps of the US Capitol, with several shouting threats of violence against their government as they did so.Retrieved from www.wintersoldier.com, March 16, 2010.
