Obama's Radical Connections: the vetting continues

Update Apparently Dystel's partner, Miriam Goderich, says the whole Obama-born-in-Kenya thing was a fact-checking mistake by her. Not likely, says character witness -

Breitbart: "THE VETTING - EXCLUSIVE - OBAMA'S LITERARY AGENT IN 1991 BOOKLET: 'BORN IN KENYA AND RAISED IN INDONESIA AND HAWAII'

Note from Senior Management:

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.
It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.
It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below--one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review. It is evidence--not of the President's foreign origin, but that Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.

***

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."
The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel.
It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead. (...) >>>

As reported on Jihad Watch this week, an adviser to President Obama has tweeted a criticism of President Bashar Assad of Syria for not being able to mount enough “resistance” to Israel. In the Arab and Middle Eastern context resistance is, of course, a codeword for terrorism and war. (...) >>>

The Obama Project kicks off -

Last night @SeanHannity aired a tape of Obama addressing and embracing Prof. Derrick Bell, whose legal philosophy - Critical Race Theory - is a supremacy narrative inherent in whites. It was the subject of an HBO movie "Space Traders" in which whites sell blacks to pay off the national debt and Jews stand by watching it. The Constitution is an object of oppression, not of liberation. The racial construct can only be resolved by the destruction of the white race, according to Bell. Obama used Bell's academic work in his university lectures. Apparently he embraced Bell in more ways than one. This is not just a matter of guilt by association. A pattern is emerging. Another aim of vetting the president, The Obama Project, is uncovering the dereliction of duty on the part of the media. The tape had been hid by a close associate of the Obama campaign, Harvard Law School’s Professor Charles Ogletree who is overheard bragging about it -

Part 2: "OBAMA ALLY WON'T RELEASE ALINSKY TAPE"

Alinsky, the play (1) -

Days after the untimely death of Andrew Breitbart the Big sites make a fresh start in a brand new design. One of the reasons that fired Andrew on was doing what the MSM failed to do: vetting the Obama. Apart of the videos of Obama's student years, now in safekeeping, here's part 1 of a series on the blogs -

Big Government: "THE VETTING, PART I: BARACK'S LOVE SONG TO ALINSKY"

In The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama claims that he worried after 9/11 that his name, so similar to that of Osama bin Laden, might harm his political career. But Obama was not always so worried about misspellings and radical resemblances. He may even have cultivated them as he cast himself as Chicago’s radical champion.

In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side. Obama was not only in the audience, but also took the stage after one performance, participating in a panel discussion that was advertised in the poster for the play.

Who's Harrison J.Bounel? -

Before it's News: “The Wormhole” by Peggy Knutson

I’ve been in a funk lately. Some people seem to think I’m merely a figment of a social media site. Some people think I’m just a joke. Let me be clear, I am neither a figment nor a joke. My name is Harrison J. Bounel and I share the Social Security Number of one of the most powerful men in the world, whom I shall refer to only as “The Other One”. I am, however, a mystery, an enigma, a ghost. Who is the man behind this mask? Who am I and where did I come from? What are my secrets? Those are the things I deliberately obfuscate. I will, however, tell you the truth. I promise I will. But let me warn you, I lie. But not every word is a lie. It will be like walking through a minefield. Or like catching a butterfly without crushing it. Or like herding cats. All at the same time. This is the Truth. The world is made up of two kinds of people. The people who are real and who are powerful. And the people who aren’t. (...) >>>

WND: "Obama's mystery links to Gadhafi uncovered - Prez fails to call for dictator's removal despite reports of attacks on citizens"

As pressure mounts on the White House to intervene to stop Moammar Gadhafi's bloody crackdown in Libya, many commentators have been wondering why Barack Obama has been cautious in his criticism of the dictator after the U.S. president so fervently supported the removal from office of U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak of Egypt. But Gadhafi has been tied to Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's spiritual adviser for more than 23 years.

The Libyan dictator also has financed and strongly supported the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan. Obama has ties to Farrakhan and his controversial group. (...) So far, White House officials have called for an end to the violence but have seemingly ruled out any unilateral action in Libya. Despite Gadhafi's reported ordering of massacres that reportedly have killed hundreds of civilians in recent days, Obama hasn't called on Gadhafi to leave office.

Pressure has been mounting on Obama to take a tougher stand, with the chairmen of the House and Senate foreign relations committees calling on the White House to re-impose economic sanctions on Libya that were lifted in 2004. But Obama has multiple close ties to activists who have had relationships with Gadhafi.

Jeremiah Wright, former pastor of Obama's longtime Chicago church, went with Farrakhan to visit Gadhafi in 1984. (...) During the 2008 presidential campaign, Wright himself noted the trip could cause problems for Obama. Farrakhan, a close friend and associate of Wright, has been financed by Gadhafi, including with a $5 million interest-free loan in 1985. (...) >>>

Making evil respectable -

Two separate posts up on Obama's connection with the Muslim Brotherhood. Of course US Homeland Security Secretary, Janet "Big Sis" Napolitano and her senior staff have already privately met in Washington, DC, in January of last year with a select group of Muslim, Arab, and Sikh organizations, among which were three organizations directly associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, the roots of Al Qaeda.

PJM: "An Esssential New Book: Stanley Kurtz’s “Radical-In-Chief”", by Ron Radosh

Today is publication date of Stanley Kurtz’s new and very important book, Radical-in-Chief:Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism, published by Simon and Schuster’s Threshold Editions. I have one thing I ask of my readers: Please rush to the bookstore, or go online and order it immediately.

What Kurtz has accomplished is what I thought beforehand to be impossible. He has put the dots together, revealing not only how Barack Obama has consciously dissembled about his past, especially in his own memoir Dreams From my Father, but how since his undergraduate years at Occidental College and Columbia University, he has advanced through life in the milieu and orbit of the far Left radical socialist movement.

TWT: "Why Obama is a cultural Muslim", by Jeffrey T. Kuhner

President Obama is betraying the Jews. He is a cultural Muslim whose sympathies lie with the Islamic world in its life-death struggle against Israel. Unless American Jews wake up and speak out against Mr. Obama's pro-Arab, anti-Israel policies, the Jewish state faces a possible nuclear war - and even annihilation.

Mr. Obama met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week. The goal: to repair the public rift in relations between Washington and Jerusalem. "The bond between the United States and Israel is unbreakable," Mr. Obama said. (...) " Don't believe him. In front of reporters, Mr. Obama may praise the Jewish state. But behind the scenes, he is selling the Jews down the river. (...) >>>

Weathermen recruitment agency -

WND: "Yet another terrorist tie to Obama White House"

The director of the White House Fellows program, Cindy S. Moelis, previously served as director of a group that granted Weather Underground terrorist organization founder William Ayers its "public trust" award, WND has learned. Moelis' group, the Business and Professional People for the Public Interest, or BPI, also was one of the biggest recipients of a grant from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was founded by Ayers and chaired by Barack Obama.

Earlier this week, WND reported Moelis' White House program appointed as one of its fellows Vartan Gregorian, a charity boss who served as a point man in granting $49.2 million in startup capital to Ayers' and Obama's CAC. (...) Moelis and her husband, Robert S. Rivkin, became financial bundlers and donors for Obama's 2008 campaign as well as for the president's previous runs for public office. They personally contributed to every one of Obama's congressional campaigns since 1999, according to public records.

In 2008, Moelis and Rivkin were members of Obama's presidential finance committee as well as bundlers committed to raising more than $200,001 for Obama. In May 2009, Rivkin was sworn in as the 21st general counsel of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Moelis, meanwhile, was appointed by Obama last April to head the president's fellowship commission.

Pravda!

The Daily Caller: "The Neomarxist who is helping to influence Obama’s media policy"

“Only government can implement policies and subsidies to provide an institutional framework for quality journalism.” Does that statement give you chills? How about this one: “The news is not a commercial product. It is a public good, necessary for a self-governing society. Once we accept this, we can talk about the kind of media policies and subsidies we want.” Or this one? “In the end, there is no real answer but to remove brick-by-brick the capitalist system itself, rebuilding the entire society on socialist principles.”

These are the sentiments of Robert McChesney, a self-professed neomarxist media scholar and the founder of the lobbying group and think tank Free Press. McChesney’s statements should worry you, perhaps even fill you with dread. Not because the rantings of a lefty professor are particularly scary in and of themselves, but because McChesney’s views are having a direct effect on the Obama administration’s policies on the media.

Brennan's Arab consciousness -

As RBO is posting a review of Aaron Klein's bestselling new book "Manchurian President" one hesitates where to file a claim that the WH maybe linked to Free Gaza, if at all: on the mainstream pomo WH dossier, or with the radicals? But all in all, who watches John O. Brennan's 'al Quds' moment, ons does come away with the feeling that what one just witnessed was pretty radical stuff: a former State Department and CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia and present deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism with an Arab consciousness. IHH perfectly matches Brennan's ideas about socio-political terror cover organizations he so admires -

WND: "White House linked to flotilla organizers - Israel official ties president's adviser to controversial 'Free Gaza Movement'"

A top adviser to President Obama is the contact person within the White House for communications with the Free Gaza Movement over plans to challenge Israel's blockade of the terrorist Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, according to a reputable source close to the Netanyahu government. (...) WND noted that in a July 2008 article in The Annals, a publication of the American Academy of Political and Social Sciences, Brennan argued it "would not be foolhardy, however, for the United States to tolerate, and even to encourage, greater assimilation of Hezbollah into Lebanon's political system, a process that is subject to Iranian influence." (...)

Middle Eastern terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah frequently maintain civilian units of doctors and lawyers so as to emphasize their outreach with local politicians and increase their political acceptance in the international arena. Conceivably, the Istanbul-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief, better known by the Turkish acronym IHH, would fit Brennan's definition of the charitable side of organizations such as Hezbollah, despite IHH's ties to al-Qaida that have been documented by experts such as former investigating judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere, who led the French judiciary's counter-terrorism unit for nearly two decades before retiring in 2007. The IHH, in fact, is not included on the U.S. State Department's current list of 45 groups designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are listed. (...) >>>

Ann Dunham, for feminist justice -

EastWestCenter: "SPOTLIGHT ON ALUMNI: EWC ALUMNA ANN DUNHAM— MOTHER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND CHAMPION OF WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE"

At the recent EWC/EWCA International Conference in Bali, Indonesia, many gathered to share personal memories and gain a glimpse into the life and work of an East-West Center legacy – the late EWC alumna S. Ann Dunham (Soetoro). As mother of President Barack Obama, she has become the focus of a great deal of media attention, especially as she had played such an influential role in shaping his world outlook and approach towards problem-solving and service to humanity. In the preface to his memoir, “Dreams From My Father,” he wrote: “I know that she was the kindest, most generous spirit I have ever known, and that what is best in me I owe to her.” Tragically her life was cut short in 1995 due to cancer, but her spirit and determination to champion women's rights and economic justice in Asia continues to serve as a source of inspiration.

After all Abner Mikva is no radical, he is a highly respected “liberal” and Chicago elder statesman. (...) >>>

An old story refuses to die -

The Khalidi tape is back into the limelight as Roger L. Simon on PJM is confessing to be a little obsessed about it. He wants the LAT tape, by hook or by crook. If you're wondering what this is all about, here's a quick digest on Debbie Schlussel's blog dating back to Oct. 29, 2008. The story originated with her. In the margins of Simon's piece a few interesting discussions have developed on the comments section: on confessional Jews and liberal Jews; on the history of Jews in the Holy Land and the diaspora; on Obama and Islamic culture and the founding of America (the Barbary Wars) -

Did Barack Obama, or someone close to him, deliberately mislead voters about the extent of the US president's involvement in the socialist Chicago New Party? In the run up to the November 2008 elections, evidence surfaced that Barack Obama had joined and been endorsed by the Chicago New Party, during his successful 1995/96 Illinois State Senate run.
