Pinch yourself

The contrast between, on the one hand, the huge amount of material
about Obama’s radical associations that has been published in on-line
journals and in a few brave newspapers, and on the other the refusal
by big media to address it and to vilify those who do, becomes more
astounding by the day. The Obamaniacs are spinning the relationship
between Obama and William Ayers, former of Weather Undergound
Terrorism Inc, as of no consequence because this was supposedly a
chance acquaintance and because the educational project they worked
on, the Annenberg Challenge, was a worthy one.
Stanley Kurtz now nails that canard by showing how, through the
Annenberg Challenge, Obama and Ayers channelled funds to extremist
anti-American Afrocentric ‘educational’ programmes which were a carbon-
copy of the world view of Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s black racist
mentor who, under pressure, Obama was forced to repudiate. These
programmes promoted, amongst other radical ideas, the ‘rites of
passage’ philosophy which attempted to create a ‘virtually separate
and intensely anti-American black social world’ in order to ‘counter
the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented
society.’ One such teacher taught that
‘The submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding
offspring, American civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white
supremacy.’
Kurtz concludes:
However he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that,
from his position as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge,
Barack Obama knowingly and persistently funded an educational project
that shared the extremist and anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah
Wright.
No surprise there, since back in June Kurtz pointed to evidence that
Obama shared the black racism of the Trinity United Church of Christ.
In this article Obama was reported as rejecting ‘integrationist
assimilation’ and wanting to channel black rage more effectively into
political organisation. Kurtz dug out a chapter in a 1990 book called
After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois in which Obama
sketched out how radical black churches could be harnessed to help
radicalise the black population. As Kurtz wrote:
So it would appear that Obama’s own writings solve the mystery of why
he stayed at Trinity for 20 years. Obama’s long-held and decidedly
audacious hope has been to spread Wright’s radical spirit by linking
it to a viable, left-leaning political program, with Obama himself at
the center. The revolutionizing power of a politically awakened black
church is not some side issue, or merely a personal matter, but has
been the signature theme of Obama’s grand political strategy.
Those few brave souls who do try to enlighten the public about all
this come up against the kind of intimidation by Camp Obama charted
here by Michael Barone:
Stanley Kurtz appeared on Milt Rosenberg's WGN radio program in
Chicago. Mr. Kurtz had been researching Mr. Obama's relationship with
unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers in Chicago
Annenberg Challenge papers in the Richard J. Daley Library in Chicago
- papers that were closed off to him for some days, apparently at the
behest of Obama supporters. Obama fans jammed WGN's phone lines and
sent in hundreds of protest e-mails. The message was clear to anyone
who would follow Mr. Rosenberg's example. We will make trouble for you
if you let anyone make the case against The One.
Other Obama supporters have threatened critics with criminal
prosecution. In September, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob
McCulloch and St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned
citizens that they would bring criminal libel prosecutions against
anyone who made statements against Mr. Obama that were ‘false.’ I had
been under the impression that the Alien and Sedition Acts had gone
out of existence in 1801-'02. Not so, apparently, in metropolitan St.
Louis. Similarly, the Obama campaign called for a criminal
investigation of the American Issues Project when it ran ads
highlighting Mr. Obama's ties to Mr. Ayers.
No such threats, of course, will be made against this new book whose
publication is tactfully timed for next year so as not to frighten the
horses -- Race Course Against White Supremacy, by none other than
William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Meanwhile, it turns out that not only did Obama do favours for
convicted Chicago fraudster Tony Rezko, but as this story reports
Alexi Giannoulias, who reputedly bankrolled Michael ‘Jaws’ Giorango, a
Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution,
became Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him,
and has now has pledged to raise $100,000 for Obama’s campaign.
You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has
been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended,
endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded,
politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power
anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant
former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming
President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered
impolite to say so.
