Investigations Show Ties to Radicals Who Shaped Him, Helped Launch His Political Career
Barack Obama had extensive ties with extreme anti-American elements, including agents of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA, in Hawaii and Chicago, according to two new reports released yesterday in Washington, D.C., by two experienced internal security investigators.
Investigative journalist Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, a former investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities, presented evidence Obama was mentored, while attending high school in Hawaii, by Frank Marshall Davis, an African-American poet and journalist who was also a CPUSA member.
The authors, in a separate report, document Obama's ties to radicals in Chicago who helped launch his career.
In a paper entitled "Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection," the authors document that in 1948, Davis decided to move from Chicago to Honolulu at the suggestion of what they describe as two "secret CPUSA members," actor Paul Robeson and Harry Bridges, the head of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen Union, or ILWU.
In Chicago, Davis had worked for the Chicago Star newspaper; in Honolulu, he was hired as a reporter for the Honolulu Record, both identified by Kincaid and Romerstein as "communist front newspapers."
In his autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," Obama discusses the influence a mentor identified in the book only as "Frank" had on his intellectual development.
Obama described Frank as a drinking companion of his grandfather, who had boasted of his association with African-American authors Richard Wright and Langston Hughes during the time Frank was a journalist in Chicago.
Romerstein, in addition to having served as investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities, served in the same capacity with the House Committee on Internal Security and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. He was the head of the Office to Counter Soviet Disinformation for the U.S. Information Agency. Romerstein is also co-author of the influential book "The Venona Secrets: Exposing Soviet Espionage and America's Traitors," which included extensive documentation of the communist activities of Roosevelt administration staffer Alger Hiss.
Kincaid is the founder and president of America's Survival Inc., an independent watchdog group that monitors the U.N. and international terrorism. He is also editor of Accuracy in Media's AIM Report.
Are you a member of the Communist Party?
Kincaid and Romerstein quote Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii, who wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis, confirming Davis was a significant influence on Obama when the senator attended Punahou prep school in Hawaii from 1975 to 1979.
A transcript of a 1956 hearing before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee discovered by internal security affairs researcher and writer Max Friedman showed Davis took the Fifth Amendment when asked by the subcommittee if he was or had ever been a member of the Communist Party.
In the second report, "Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection," Kincaid and Romerstein present evidence supporting their contention the SDS organization from which the Weather Underground organization and radicals Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn came, received financial contributions from the CPUSA, which in turn receive its funding from Moscow.
Obama's run for the Illinois state Senate was launched by a fundraiser organized at Ayers' and Dorhn's Chicago home by Alice Palmer. Palmer had named Obama to succeed her in the state Senate in 1995, when she decided to run for a U.S. congressional seat.
Nine years before Palmer picked Obama to be her successor, she was the only African-American journalist to travel to the Soviet Union to attend the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, according to an article Palmer wrote in the CPUSA newspaper, People's Daily World, June 19, 1986.
"There has been no explanation of why Ayers et al. played a role in launching Obama's political career," Kincaid wrote.
Kincaid and Romerstein present documentation that Tom Hayden, another major figure in the SDS, is today one of four principal initiators of the "Progressives for Obama" movement, which calls for ending the war in Iraq "as quickly as possible, not in five years."
According to Kincaid and Romerstein, U.S. Peace Council executive committee member Frank Chapman "blew the whistle on communist support for Obama's presidential bid and his real agenda" in a letter to the People's Weekly World after Obama's win in the Iowa Democratic Party caucuses.
"Obama's victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle," Chapman wrote. "Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface.
Kincaid and Romerstein wrote, "The clear implication of Chapman's letter is that Obama himself, or some of his Marxist supporters, are acting like moles in the political process. The suggestion is that something is being hidden from the public."
Another ridiculous attempt at guilt by association. The American people don't care about this crap. Why don't you talk about issues we care about: the price of oil and gas, health care, falling real wages, and the endless, brutal, unnecessary war in Iraq. We can see through these typical Republican smear jobs.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that the Republicans have no ideas on how to solve our country's problems. All they rely on are their old smear tactics. The fear-mongering is all they have.
ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like they are trying to resurrect McCarthyism with yet another Communist witch-hunt.
LAME!
Boy,
ReplyDeleteThese folks are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Is the Republican idea factory really this incompetent? Most of the conspiracy theorists who would buy into this crap probably don't vote. The ones that do vote are probably firmly entrenched in the Republican camp anyway.
No, you are not seeing through anything, you are turning a blind eye to it. You may not like it, but an examination of just why so many of Obama's lifetime relationships are radical leftists is legit.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it is Barack Obama who is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
ReplyDeleteKenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga is Barack Obama’s blood cousin that he campaigned for in Kenya. There are rumors of a secret pact between Raila Odinga and radical Kenyan Muslims in the ethnic killings of Christians. Three hundred thousand people were displaced and 1,200 died after Raila Odinga declared the election was rigged when he lost. As per compromise, on April 18, 2008, Raila Odinga became Prime Minister of Kenya. Odinga of the Orange Democratic Movement initially signed NAMLEF (National Muslim Leaders Forum), an agreement with Muslim leaders of Kenya which included a plan for Sharia Law.
Ali Abunimah is one of the founders of the anti-Semitic ISM Arab group Al Awda, the Palestine Right of Return Coalition. The group calls for the complete destruction of Israel, supports Arab terrorists in Iraq who kill US soldiers, and urges boycotts against Israelis and American Jews and their businesses. An article by Abunimah appeared on the ISM affiliated website Electronic Intifada (EI) in which Abumimah recounted his close past working relationship with Obama and how Abunimah believes Obama is merely giving lip service to the Jewish community to get elected, and that once in office he will “come around” for the Palestinian cause.
Robert Malley, whom Obama hase known since law school and has just been let go as one of Obama’s foreign policy advisors, has written numerous opinion articles, of which many of them were co-written with a former advisor to Yasser Arafat. They petitioned for dialogue with Hamas while blasting Israel for policies he claims harms the Palestinian cause. Robert’s father, was a confidante of Yasser Arafat and a key figure in the Egyption Communist Party as well.
Hatem El-Hady is the former chairman of the Toledo-based Islamic charity Kindhearts which was closed by the US government in 2006 for terrorist fundraising. The organization raised money for HAMAS in Lebanon and the West Bank. El-Hady is now raising money for Obama and even has a page at the official Obama campaign website.
Tony Rezko, facing federal fraud charges, has been Obama’s friend for 20 years and has raised $250.00 for Obama’s presidential campaign. Instead of handing cash to Obama, Rezko, with 3.5 million dollars from his good friend, London-based Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi, helped Obama get a preferential price for property. Auchi was heavily involved in the Oil for Food scandal and the Elf scandal. Auchi is called a global arms dealer who has been banned from the US since 2005. Rezko trial witness Levine has testified that he attended an April 2004 Rezko hosted party in honor of Nadhmi Auchi in which Barack and Michelle Obama also attended. It is Aiham Alsammare who recently helped put up bail for Tony Rezko. Also, Ali M Baghdadi and Darlene Baghdadi put up property to raise money for Rezko’s bail. Baghdadi writes for a London-based Pro-Palestine paper in which it has been reported that he labels Israel an apartheid, and claimed that Israel worked on an ethnic bomb that kills blacks and arabs. Ali M Baghdadi accompanied Louis Farrakhan to Mali in 1997.

The first 3 people who commented here are obviously "Obamamaniacs," who already drank the Kool-aid.
ReplyDeleteYou can stay ignorant to the TRUTH all you want, but the fact remains, Barack Obama is an extreme liberal who has had many associations with racists, communists, and anti-Americans. The man has surrounded himself with shady characters all his life and now that the TRUTH is coming out, the "Obamamaniacs" refuse to believe it... instead, resorting to Obama's only defense: "Let's talk about the real issues facing America."
Guess what? We've already heard the issues and Obama has no solutions. In fact, he copied his solutions from Edwards, Hillary, and even Mike Huckabee. Barack Obama is a fake and will ruin America if elected President... not that Hillary or McCain will be any better.
