A book arguing the case that Obama’s books were ghost-written by Bill Ayers comes out today. Whether his thesis is correct or not, and Obama’s manifest stupidity argues powerfully that SOMEONE other than himself wrote his books, what is clear is that we know ALMOST NOTHING about this guy. Many years of his life are documented only by what he himself says–directly or through a proxy like Bill Ayers–in his books.
Virtually none of the people surrounding him in his youth are known to us. At least one has come forward, though, and stated that Obama was a Leninist in college, and saw himself as working for a global Communist revolution: http://www.newsmax.com/RonaldKessler/obama-college-marxism-occidental/2010/02/08/id/349329
He was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth
Note that his roommate was a Pakistani, wealthy enough to own a BMW, and comfortable with Obama’s politics. When Obama went to Pakistan, this guy likely paid for it.
But place yourself in this mental context: Obama is friends with people like Bill Ayers and others who want to end our Constitution, and implement something like what they have in Cuba, or China.
Many of us have been saying for years that he is a radical, he is a Communist, he is anti-American. But what are the possible implications of this? What can he do?
People look at his most obvious proposals, those intended to take over healthcare and energy, and to create more legal biases in favor of unions. But what else is possible? Let me offer up a few possibilities.
He can insert moles in the CIA, FBI, DHS, DIA, and various military services.
He can insert people into positions with access to our secrets, who will leak them. For some stuff, he can leak it on his own, in closed door meetings–for example with the Chinese.
Edit: agents can slow down or misdirect the flow of intelligence. They can either not do their jobs, or supply disinformation. Counter-intelligence agents can collude with foreign agents. They can abet foreign industrial espionage.
Obviously, they can gather information on political opponents, as FDR did.
Money can be siphoned off from the Stimulus and put into accounts for bribes, here and abroad; for funding leftist organizing; for election campaigns; and to pay full time Leninist revolutionary cadres.
He can weaken us through intentional overspending, which he is doing right now.
He can damage our alliances, and fail to pursue our legitimate interests, which he is doing.
As I think I posted on here, I was reading the other day about Harry Hopkins, who was almost certainly Agent 19, described as “the most important of all Soviet wartime agents in the United States”, by former Cheka (read Gestapo) handler Iskhak Akhmerov. Among other things, Hopkins engineered the hand-over of Poland to the Nazis, excuse me, the Soviets. Effect was about the same, although the Katyn massacre had already happened.
Consider the case, though, of Col. Phillip Faymonville. Everyone who knew him called him “The Red Colonel”, for his Communist sympathies. Hopkins got him assigned to Moscow to run our Lend-Lease program, and eventually got him promoted to Major General. While in Moscow, he was seduced by a male NKVD agent, which enabled the Soviets to put considerable pressure to bear on someone already largely sympathetic to them.
Imagine this basic dynamic amplified a hundred times. Imagine that Obama WANTS the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the Middle East. Imagine that he is covertly sending them money. Imagine that he is assigning US intelligence assets to help them, under some pretext or other. Once he gets his people in the right places, no pretext will be necessary.
All the people he puts in place remain behind once he is gone, much like the Communist agents who stayed in place in the South when North Vietnam went red (figuratively, and with the literal blood that the red symbolizes). Perhaps I should say “when the lights went out”, in reference to North Korea.
We need to cover many more miles in our understanding if we are to right this wrong, and get our nation back onto a track into a sustainable future. The future of humankind depends on the United States.
China has shown itself to be utterly ruthless, and completely dedicated to one party, totalitarian rule. Yes, the Chinese people can open businesses now, but only ones approved by the Party, and nothing happens that they do not approve of, tacitly or explicitly.
Europe is a sick old lady, done in by a greed for comfort and sleep.
It’s on us, and we are being poisoned, in my view.
In my view, it is time for a frontal attack on Obama’s credibility. I want the Republicans to demand at least his birth certificate, and preferably all his college records, travel documents, Social Security number (what is it? Is it legitimate?), and college publications. Given that he is the most poweful man in the most powerful country on the planet, these are not unreasonable demands.
As I have said before, the question is simple: is he above the law, or isn’t he?
Edit: as I think about it, the most valuable place to insert your people would not even be in the intelligence handling part of things. It would be in the group that does background investigations and security clearances. If you can corrupt that group, you open a funnel into the core of the intelligence apparatus.
I will add, too, that there are those who simply cannot grasp that Communists can still be around and active in today’s world. My response is: why not? They knew their doctrine didn’t work in the 1950’s, at the very LATEST, yet they continued expanding and recruiting throughout the 1960’s and 70’s. Their facilitation of the invasion of South Vietnam by North Vietnam led to rivers of blood, but they didn’t and don’t care.
This is the core question: in the last 30 years have they come up with a good reason to live? Self evidently, most of these people are atheists, who view death as final. I don’t see it. I see them talking increasing gibberish, like stroke victims who have learned to speak to one another in noises that sound like speech, and which are treated like speech, but which rationally amount to the cognitive content of jackhammer noise or a cement mixer. It is a dysphony of despair, expressed in a deep-seated emotional need to see the world burn to the ground, and humankind reduced to skeletons in a primordial dust–morally, if not always literally.
