Do you think it’s important to know the sort of friends the President of the United States might have? Don’t you think we, the American people, should care about the company in which our President spends his time? I do, but it did not seem to matter too much in the last election. The vetting process of the then future President was none existence. It appears that half of the voters decided that they did not need to look at what made Obama tick, they didn’t seem to care. He was different, it was a chance to make history, it was a time that white Americans could ease themselves of the guilt so many still harbored because of the past sins of their fathers. Many whites where afraid to ask the tough question for fear of being labeled a racist.
Well, I wish you would have asked.
None dared to believe the horrible stories reported by the Fox News channel, the only news channel daring to report on the characters that surrounded our future President. Obama’s alliances appeared to stem from very radical portions of our society, though he himself carried the appearance of a mild a meek character who happen to know some very bad people, that he claimed he either really didn’t know, or didn’t agree with every word that spewed from their lips. But all of whom, he steered clear of.
So let’s talk about some of those friends. This article will focus on the Obama before the election and one gentleman who bares watching that has been appointed to an Obama position of power in the whitehouse.
I hope you have seen enough of the workings of Obama to be concerned and are searching for information to help you better understand the possible mistakes made in electing a radical to the office of the Presidency.
Let us begin with Obama’s own words…
“I choose my friends carefully.
The more politically active black students,
the foreign students, the Chicanos,
THE MARXIST PROFESSORS
and the structural feminist
and the punk rock performance pullets.”
In his own words, Obama’s friends are among the radical sect of our society, which in my minds indicates an agenda set on wrangling in, for some unknown purpose those who seek change, by any means necessary, But is Obama a radical? Is it true that birds of a feather always tend to flock together? Obama is after all, a community organizer whose goal it was to gathering those he thought capable of firing up others to achieve an objective.
When will we learn that history is our teacher, our educator about those who come to power with an agenda that considers those in opposition of said agenda an enemy, an enemy too be dealt with by whatever means necessary? Now, it doesn’t matter whether or not the likes of Obama has an agenda similar to that of Hitler or Stalin, but any similarity in his plans to achieve whatever his goal is that emulates Hitler ‘s or Stalin’s tactics, should be put under a microscope and analyzed with a great amount of scrutiny. Both Hitler and Stalin said that they would offer Hope and fundamentally Change their societies and called upon the outcast, the disenfranchised and the activist to advance their agenda. And once in power, they took over the private sectors and placed them under the control of government. If you don’t know what happened after that, look it up on the internet.
When will we learn that our nation is the most precious of commodities and should be treated with a reverence given only to those things whose contributions to society has been a beacon of hope for all mankind? So as you look around and see that all the promises Obama made throughout his campaign where false, broken, or just unattainable. You have to open your eyes and see that that diamond in the rough is nothing more than a zirconium for show. However, this is not the time to rattle off, ‘I told you so’s’, but instead to get you to see the error of your ways and perhaps have a clear unadulterated epiphany.
Our economy is in shambles and instead of getting the truth about were we are headed as a nation for the next year or so, from what was suppose to be the most transparent administration in history, we get words polled and polled again that are suppose to make us feel good about our dire straights. Now things will get better, they always do, but how much of a transformation will occur in our society amid Obama’s Hope and Change?
We where told that unemployment, if we rush and pass an unread bill worth billions of tax payer dollars, would never rise about 8%, and here we are at 10% and possibly as high as 16%, if you count those who have dropped out of the system after their benefits ran out. And what of those who have all but given up hope of finding a job in this economy.
Obama promised that he would heal our nation of its prejudices and set right a divided nation. And yet, he tells America that a Police Officer, executing his duties, did so out of pure racism. But not before admitting that he didn’t have all the facts about the incident.
So how does one judge the character of another they do not know?
Perhaps at first each of us possesses the ability to be superficially naive in our reasoning and often have preconceived notions about an individual, and depending on the extent in which we wish to take our acquaintance, for many, that first impression sticks. However, for a casual acquaintance, first impressions can be wonderful, were you are left with a beautiful memory of a beautiful moment, but when that relationship goes beyond the moment, there are other factors that come into play and a deeper assessment is taken. There are things said and things done that help to mold our image of that individual, and that, coupled with our first impression creates our ability to ponder whether or not the relationship is one worth holding on to or a waste of time.
In the case of Obama, his smooth way of presenting himself, was with a great amount of representation meant to give a favorable impression. However, very little substance came along with his self-glorification. Obama wrote books, made speeches and wowed the crowds, again with words polled and polled again and proven to spark emotion. Obama used words, which if you watch the delivery, are not words taken from his heart because every time he goes of script, or teleprompter, he stumbles as if he is unclear what he should say next. Obama looks around lost and appears as one searching for a polled word, but quickly looks back to the teleprompter or written speech to get back on track, unable to find in his heart something, or anything to say. Obama could not afford to offend those he wished to captivate, so he attempts to stay on topic by repeating again and again his polled words, and people, this is by design…
"One of the factors that changes what you can and can't communicate is
relationships.
There are sensitive areas that one does not touch
until there is a strong personal relationship
based on common involvements.
Otherwise the other party turns off and literally does not hear....
"Conversely, if you have a good relationship, he is very receptive....
For example,
I have always believed
that birth control and abortion are personal rights
to be exercised by the individual.
If, in my early days when I organized,
neighborhood in Chicago, which was 95 per cent Roman Catholic,
had I tried to communicate this, even through the experience of the residents,
whose economic plight was aggravated by large families,
that would have been the end of my relationship with the community.
That instant I would have been stamped as an enemy of the church
and all communication would have ceased.
said, Saul Alinsky
When the facts concerning Obama’s past surfaced, somehow racism became the battle cry of Obama’s surrogates and those who presented this inflammatory material was using the style of, old racism, to denigrate the one black man who was suppose to help our nation shed itself of such hatred. Obama glossed over criticism and gave vague answers to important questions, and to this day, will not present to the public his original birth certificate for the American public to see and put to rest a burning topic. I just wonder if this is another of the ways that Obama plans to heal our nation, with an unwillingness to do whatever it might take, even something as seemingly simple as this, to sooth the nerves of the American mind.
When it became known that Obama began his political career in the home of the Weather Undergrounds founders Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorn, a couple and organization involved in the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion in 1970. An explosion in which Weather Underground members Ted Gold, Ayers' close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers' girlfriend, Diana Oughton where killed when a nail bomb they were assembling exploded. These are facts, facts that where ignored by those of you caught up in the adoration prospect of Obama. Everyone seemed to forgive Obama for his ties to Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn in spite of the fact that these two participated in the bombings of a New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972…
…about which Bill Ayers said…
“Although the bomb that rocked the Pentagon
was itsy-bitsy, weighing close to two pounds,
it caused 'tens of thousands of dollars' of damage.
The operation cost under $500,
and no one was killed or even hurt.”
Everyone appeared to be acting as if they where just kids, being kids.
When, as a known fact, that this same weather underground was responsible for the murder of Nyack Police Officers Waverly Brown and Sergeant Edward O’Grady. The weather underground was attempting to escape, after robbing a bank, and killed the two Officers in cold blood after being stopped by the Officers. With a cunning effort, they convinced the Officers that the two had made a mistake, and once the Officers holstered their weapons, they where ambushed and murdered.
Obama acted as if he were unaware of the couples past, but lets remember what he said…
“I choose my friends carefully.”
Obama admits to being a devout student of the teachings of Saul Alinsky, which to me easily explains why he finds such individuals as our nations diverse militants, as ‘friends he has chosen with care’.
Now I would like to you to read the passage I have placed, that might perhaps explain why Obama might distance himself from the likes of Bill Ayers and such radicals, those who desire to destroy the dream of the Founding Fathers and replace it with… something else? They have a formula for this change, outlined by Alinsky…
"True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism,
They cut their hair,
put on suits
and infiltrate the system from within.
revolution as a slow, patient process.
The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as
churches,
unions
and political parties.”
Saul Alinsky
Bill Ayers is a respected teacher now, educating the minds of our nation’s youth and Barrack Obama is the President of the United States.
I guess the question now is, should those like me who believe in the principles laid down by our Founding Fathers where the individual has a choice to go out do all the things he can within the law to become the richest man in the world and share with whom he wishes to share? On the other hand, to make choices that leave him penniless and at the mercy of the government programs handed out to the less willing or less capable? Alternatively, to except the covert attempt by those who wish to transform our nation into one where the dream is to turn us into people who all wear the same color shirt, same color pants and eat the same foods, as mandated by the government?
Me, personally…
I chose to be free to make my own decisions.
Well…
Still not convinced that the friends of Obama give a clear picture into the soul of Obama?
Well…
Reverend Wright: Obama’s pastor for more than 20 years, a mans whose sermon inspired the title of Obama’s book. The man who married Obama and baptized his children said this…
“In the 21st century,
white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01.
White America and the western world came to realize
that people of color had not gone away,
faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’
as the Great White West kept on its merry way of
ignoring black concerns.”
…or more recently stated to TMZ
“I think the racist in the right wing
are upset because poor people
are about to be helped.”
If you are wondering, why Obama could so easily leave his church of 20 years and distance himself from his long time MENTOR, well, Alinsky said…
"Radicals must be resilient,
adaptable to shifting political circumstances,
and sensitive enough to the process of action and reaction
to avoid being trapped by their own tactics
and forced to travel a road not of their choosing."
Saul Alinsky
One could write a book about Obama and perhaps call it, “The Audacity Of Some People” and could fill it with examples of who this man, despite his claims, truly is.
One more point I would like to make, and that is the means by which Obama plans to change this country from what our Founding Fathers envisioned, to one of SOMETHING ELSE.
I will start off with a quote from Saul Alinsky…
"From the moment the organizer enters a community he lives,
dreams... only one thing
and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.
Until he has developed that mass power base,
he confronts no major issues....
Until he has those means and power instruments,
his 'tactics' are very different from power tactics.
Therefore, every move revolves around one central point:
how many recruits will this bring into the organization,
whether by means of
local organizations,
churches,
service groups,
labor Unions,
corner gangs,
or as individuals."
"Change comes from power,
and power comes from organization."
Considering the fact that Obama is trying to transform our society, one can only assume that he has his army in place. And since he is now the President of the United States, he has all the power he needs.
So, if you believe anything part of my article, any part, you have to wonder where America will be when Obama has done all that he can do to change our society from one where the Constitution dictated the actions of Americans, to one where a single individual decides the rights and liberties the individual deserves.
An unknown once said, “One is judged by the company one keeps.” A questionable statement, since Jesus was often found in the company of prostitutes and thieves and murderers. But he did so openly as he denounced those in power and assured the prostitutes, thieves and murderers that they too had a seat at the table of righteousness and that there salvation should never depend on those who wield power, but instead on their freedom of self choice.
It was Satan who dressed in sheep’s clothing and lingered among the power-hungry who were more than willing to allot fish, pilfered from the hardworking fishermen, to those fully capable of fishing for themselves, if taught and required to do so. It is the Devils way, and those whose agenda is similar to his, to rob Peter and pay Paul.
With that quote above, I offer you…
Van Jones, a man who previously worked in the Whitehouse, in the Obama administration as the Green Jobs Czar was one of "100 notable Americans" who signed a "911 Truth Statement" from 911Truth.org, a group which promotes 9/11 conspiracy theories. The statement among other things called (referring to the George W. Bush administration) "for immediate public attention to unanswered questions that suggest that people within the previouse administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war." And on September 3, 2009 at 12:01 midnight, after widespread criticism, this same Van Jones issued a statement,
"I do not agree with this statement
and it certainly
does not reflect my views now
or ever."
…had this to say after being arrested in April of 1993…
“I met all these young radical people of color…
…I mean really radical communist and anarchist.
And it was like, this is what I need to be a part of.”
Van Jones went on to say…
“By August, I was a Communist.”
Van Jones went on from 1993 to help found an organization known as STORM;
S – Standing
T – Together to
O – Organize a
R – Radical
M – Movement
STORM’s historical pamphlet “Reclaiming Revolution” states:
“All of STORM’s members developed
a basic understanding of and commitment to
Revolutionary Marxist Policies,
With a particular emphasis on the
Historical experiences of
THIRD WORLD COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS.”
STORM’s early worked involved:
“Mobilizing young people of color into
MILITANT – DIRECT – ACTION
And combine it with more
Deeply rooted organization
in our communities.”
Van Jones position as the former Whitehouse’s Green Job Czar, apparently stems from his work with such organizations as the Apollo Alliance which is funded by the not-for-profit organization known as the TIDS CENTER/FOUNDATION, a liberal machine of massive proportions funded by wealthy donors. The Apollo Alliances’ and the TIDES CENTER/FOUNDATION connection to the Whitehouse is one of a troubling scenario. For sheathed within these, not-for-profit organizations, are programs such as SOCIAL JUSTICE, GREEN MOVEMENT and LABOR, all of which are tied together in a manner that, if unchecked, could alter all our lives in ways envisioned by the likes of Saul Alinsky and such.
Each individual program has under its umbrella an army of individuals, money and influence that affect each of us in one way or another.
SOCIAL JUSTICE:
-ACORN-
-BLACK FARMERS USA
-ELLA BAKER CENTER
-URBAN AGENDA
GREEN MOVEMENT:
-SIERRA CLUB
-GREEN PEACE
-LEAGUE OF CONSERVATIVE VOTERS
LABOR:
-SEIU – (whose vice president sits on the board of Apollo)
-AFL-CIO
-UAW
-UNITED STEEL WORKERS
Now imagine one man with influence over a conglomerate as massive as this; one man powerful enough to give handouts that benefit these organizations and those who manage them. The give and take between the two could shift and change our everyday comings and goings in ways no American would dare imagine.
Now don’t you think that, should a President decide to incorporate the teachings of a person like Saul Alinsky in the way he governs, we should know about it? Don’t you think that this is something we should have scrutinized prior to his rise to the Office of the Presidency?
And what about his friends, past and present? Don’t you think that we should know and be concerned if the President of the United States befriended a man who possibly had a hand in the killing of a Police Officer and blew up buildings in the name of revolution?
Shouldn’t that matter? There was time it mattered.
