Sleepers and Messiahs

Thanks to our dear friend and frequent commenter, JosephBC69, I remembered a conversation with Charlotte Iserbyt about the  Soviet informer and KGB propagandist, Yuri Bezmenov, who defected to Canada in 1970 and embarked on a campaign to educate people in the West about the true nature and methods of Soviet Communism.  According to Wikipedia, he wrote and lectured extensively under the name Tomas David Schuman. 

 The Pravda article and Joseph’s comment are here.

Points to ponder after watching the video:

In 1960 during the height of the Cold War, Stanley Ann Dunham met British citizen from Kenya, Barack Obama, Sr. at the University of Hawaii.  Both were enrolled in a class to learn Russian.

The Dunham family’s close friend and Obama’s mentor during his teens, was avowed communist, Frank Marshall Davis.

Obama Senior attended several institutions of higher learnind during his checkered career.  Taking classes in Russian in 1960 suggests an  intent to attend Patrice Lumumba University, newly founded in 1960.

According to an fascinating old article at the Baltimore Sun, “Moscow’s academic nightmare University in decline: Patrice Lumumba University once was one of the jewels of Moscow”

“MOSCOW — In the old days, the typical student at Patrice Lumumba University would be a young African, someone who could hope to become his country’s first native-born doctor or engineer after graduation. The new graduate would be expected to take communism home with him and preach of its glories.

Patrice Lumumba University — alma mater of the terrorist “Carlos” and of hundreds of men and women who are government officials throughout the Third World — now is a cheap and not so choosy institution. A mathematics professor despondent over the school’s decline describes it as where “the best of the world’s worst students” come for an easy degree.”

This Baltimore Sun article is longish; but, well worth the read, if only to speculate which current World Leaders attended in it’s heyday.  Africa is a major player in Agenda 21, supporting all the initiatives to redistribute the wealth of the West to their own corrupt governments.

Obama told Hawaii classmates he’s Kenyan/Indonesian royalty

Not only is the POS a liar from the beginning, he also is delusional.

From ages 6 to 10, young Barry Soetoro Obama lived in Jakarta, Indonesia, with his mother and step-dad Lolo Soetoro. In 1971, mom sent him back to Hawaii to live with her parents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, in Honolulu.

Madelyn was the vice president of a bank. Stanley not only got his Kansas pal, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, to mentor his grandson, Stanley also used his connections to finagle an admission for his grandson into the exclusive private Punahou School, one of the most expensive schools in Honolulu. There, B.S. Obama studied for 8 years, from ages 10 to 18, until he graduated from high school in 1979.

Since the 2008 presidential campaign, one of the many curiosities about Obama is that so few people have come forth, claiming they had known him. As an example, despite Obama being touted for his brilliant intellect and interpersonal charm, there is not a single fellow student or faculty member who’s said they knew Obama in the two years he was at Columbia University.

Now, however, a woman has stepped forward, saying that she was a classmate of Obama’s in Punahou School.

Kristin Caldwell

In a PBS Frontline interview conducted on June 27, 2012, Kristine Caldwell (who now lives in California) said she grew up and attended Punahou School with “Barry” Obama. The two even graduated together, in 1979. She recalls how Barry alternatively told classmates he was an Indonesian prince or Kenyan royalty. The following is from the transcript of her interview:

I went to Punahou School in Honolulu. I was there from kindergarten starting in 1966 through high school, graduating in 1979, along with the president.

When I first met Barry, when he showed up I think it was the summer before fifth grade, he was hanging out at the tennis courts. [...]

So yeah, I can picture him as this slightly — “chubby” is too strong, but rounded, short little guy, Barry Obama. And he told us that his father was an Indonesian king and that he was a prince, and after he finished school he was going to go back, and he would be a ruler in Indonesia. And I absolutely believed him.

I understand that he told his fifth-grade class that he was Kenyan royalty, but I never heard that story until years later. My sister and I remember very clearly that he was an Indonesian prince and that he would be going back there. So there was some reference to where he had come from, and the understanding was his family was there. [...]

I can only imagine now, a 10-year-old leaving his mother and stepfather and at that point I think baby stepsister. So he lived in Hawaii from when he was born until he was 6, lived in Indonesia from 6 to 10. Arriving in Hawaii — again, having not been there — I would think he would have felt very, very fish-out-of-water, very uncomfortable, and like anybody, he’d have to have a little bit of bravado to mask the insecurities. So I think that was the prince story. [...]

You know, a lot of people say, “Wow, yes, I saw that he was going to be president.” … To me he was a normal kid. But to be fair, probably no kid at Punahou is really a normal kid. So he didn’t seem outstanding academically or athletically or any other way. To me he seemed normal. [...] I didn’t see this great thinker, orator, cool under pressure. And I think to a large degree, as he matured, he developed that [...] But yeah, I think he certainly bloomed, blossomed. I guess what I’d say is when I watched his speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004 [...] I was so impressed and excited. [...] wow, he was an amazing orator and he had wonderful words that he said [...]

He was a decent student. He was a decent athlete. He was a decent guy. I think he was well liked. But he wasn’t a big man on campus. He didn’t run for student government or anything. [...] If you look at our high school program, the senior year graduation program, commencement, it has everybody’s names, and it has — you have an asterisk or a little plus next to you if you graduated with honors, or if you got the President’s Award, and Barry doesn’t have either one. [...] I think people who got the President’s Award were considered pretty special. I think that Barry really found himself and his stride, I would say, later, I would say after Punahou.

Psychologists say pathological narcissists feel empty inside, and so they compensate for that by concocting a grandiose but false self. Among the American Psychological Association Diagnostic Statistical Manual’s criterial attributes of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder are:

• Has a grandiose sense of self-importance.
• Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
• Believes that he or she is “special” and unique….

By Kristine Caldwell’s account of Barry Obama in their Punahou School years, he was “normal”, that is, ordinary. There was nothing extraordinary about him: Neither a brilliant intellect nor a great athlete nor even a hardworking student, he displayed nothing that would lead his classmates to mark him as “most likely to succeed.” Despite his mediocrity, young Barry imagined himself to be uniquely special, claiming he was an Indonesian prince to some and, to others, a Kenyan royalty. Earlier, while young Barry was still living in Indonesia, he had proclaimed he wanted to be the country’s prime minister when he grows up.

But the reality is neither his Indonesian stepfather, nor his (alleged) Kenyan father Barack Hussein Obama Sr., nor his (rumored) real biological father Frank Marshall Davis, was royalty.

In this, however, Barry was special and unique: He was/is a pathological narcissist, with a grandiose sense of self-importance, from the beginning. In 2008, he even managed to con millions of Americans and millions more across the world that he was their king and messiah.

A liberal psychiatrist’s armchair analysis of the POS

Dr. Justin A. Frank is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center. A left-wing Democrat, in 2011 Frank did an armchair psychoanalysis of the POS in his book, Obama On the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President.

The video below provides a good synopsis of Frank’s attempt at dissecting the psychology of the POS. Frankly, I find Frank downright hilarious in his analysis. Here are his main points (my rebuttals are in green):

• Having been abandoned, permanently, by his Kenyan dad and periodically by his anthropologist mom (who would go off to do field research for long stretches of time), Obama has major abandonment issues. That’s why he desperately wants Americans to be one big happy family, which is why he’s been so accommodating with Republicans. (Yup. Saying stuff like “If I had a son, he’d look just like Trayvon” and “You didn’t build that” is a sure way to unite the American people. Snark.)

• Obama doesn’t stand up to the Republican obstructionists and naysayers in Congress because, since he grew up without a father, he looks upon the GOP as a father figure. (Republican obstructionists in Congress? The POS had a Democrat-controlled House and Senate for TWO years, which was how he got the unpopular Obamacare passed into law.)

• Obama perceives the Democrats as a mother figure but, since he has resentment issues with his mom, he sees Democrats’ and liberals’ questioning why he’s not living up to his campaign promises as whining and nagging. And that’s why he hasn’t delivered on his campaign promises! (Hmm… Didn’t the POS get Obamacare into law? Didn’t he get rid of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the U.S. military? Didn’t he appease the Greenies by axing the Keystone Pipeline?)

Justin Frank’s armchair psychoanalysis of the POS confirms what I’ve always thought about the discipline of Psychology. It is, at best, a soft science, which is just a polite way of saying it’s a pseudo-science. More often than not, it’s plain mumbo jumbo, especially when the psychiatrist in question makes no effort toward even a semblance of scientific objectivity by reining in his political partisanship and ideological bias.

Obama’s grandma calls him the “KENYAN Wonder-Boy”

If the POS weren’t born in Kenya, why does his Kenyan grandma have a calendar poster of him on her wall which says “The Kenyan Wonder-Boy in the U.S.”?

Sarah Oyango Obama is the POS’s paternal step-grandmother who, in 1987, met her then-26-year-old American grandson for the first time when he visited Obama Sr.’s village in Kenya.

Sarah Oyango Obama

In 2009, U.S. Christian minister Ron McRae, who described himself in his affidavit as an overseer of the Anabaptist Churches in North America and a “Presiding Elder on the African Presbytery,” conducted a taped transatlantic telephone conversation with Sarah Obama, in which grandma clearly said Barack Obama Jr. was born in Mombasa, Kenya, and that she was present at the birth.

In early 2008, Journeyman Pictures made a documentary “Obama’s Kenyan Roots” about the POS and visited Grandma Sarah. At the time, the POS was a U.S. senator (representing Illinois) and a presidential aspirant.

Since the POS’s visit in 1987, Grandma Sarah proudly had followed his career trajectory, and decorated the walls of her living room with pictures of the POS. Here’s a screen shot of the wall from the documentary “Obama’s Kenyan Roots”:

And here’s the “The Kenyan Wonder-Boy” calendar poster:

Obama’s pastor says he’s “not religious”

Interesting nuggets keep coming out from Edward Klein’s new book, The Amateur, an unauthorized biography of Barack Obama. Among the startling and intriguing claims in the book are former President Bill Clinton calling Obama an “amateur” (thus, the name of Klein’s book), Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s testimony that Obama had offered him $150,000 in hush money to keep quiet during the 2008 presidential campaign, and Caroline Kennedy’s seller’s remorse.

Now we learn of another interesting tidbit that confirms our well-founded suspicions: Despite Obama’s insistence that he’s a Christian, his own pastor of 20 years — Rev. Jeremiah Wright of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ — says the Obamas are “not religious.”

Obama and Wright, before they threw each other under the bus

Billy Hallowell reports for The Blaze, May 17, 2012, that Klein gave Fox News’ Sean Hannity the three-hour recording of his discussion with Wright, copies of which were also obtained by The Blaze. Hallowell writes:

“Church is not their thing. It was never their thing,” Wright says of Barack and Michelle Obama. “She was not the kind of black woman whose momma made her go to church, made her go to Sunday school…so the church was not an integral part of their lives before they got married — after they got married.”

After Wright made these comments, Klein said, “But the church was an integral part of his politics…because he needed that base.” Wright agreed with this statement, at one point saying “correct.”

You can listen to Wright for yourself by going to The Blaze.

What Wright says is entirely consistent with everything we know:

1. All the important people in Obama’s childhood and teen years were not Christians:

• By Obama Jr.’s own admission, his father Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was “raised a Muslim” but a “confirmed atheist.”

• His mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was raised by non-religious parents (Stanley Armour and Madelyn Dunham) and “detached” from religion.

• Obama Jr.’s stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, was an Indonesian Muslim. When Soetoro married Obama’s mom, he adopted her boy who converted to Islam. There is no record of Obama ever leaving or renouncing the Muslim religion.

• Obama Jr.’s childhood-to-teen mentor Frank Marshall Davis was not just a Communist atheist, he was virulently anti Christ.

• Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, practiced the Satanic cult of Santeria or voodoo in the White House.

2. Obama’s own behavior shows he’s not religious:

• He attends Sunday church service infrequently and irregularly, and even skips Christmas service. Even “cafeteria” pick-and-choose Christians go to church at Christmas!

So on May 4, when Obama proclaimed May 12, 2012, as America’s National Day of Prayer and said, “On this National Day of Prayer, we give thanks for our democracy,” to whom was he praying and giving thanks?

UPDATE:

Breitbart has a new audio tape in which Ed Klein says “when I asked the Reverend Wright about this whole question of Islam and Christianity. He said, well, you know, Barack Obama was steeped in Islam. He knew a lot about Islam from his childhood. But he knew very little about Christianity. And I made it easy for him to feel not guilty about learning about Christianity without turning his back on his Islamic friends.”

Obama lie: My father served in WWII

During the presidential campaign, on June 28, 2008, Obama spoke before a meeting of the NALEO (National Association of Elected and Appointed Officials) in Washington, D.C. There must not have been a teleprompter. Here he is in the fully glory of his ”you know, ah-um” inarticulateness:

“…and you know, we, we’re betraying, erh, what I think is a solemn pact that we make with our veterans. Erh, you know, they, my father served in World War Two, arh, and when he came home, arh, he got the services he needed, arh….”

Barack Hussein Obama Sr. was born in Kenya on June 18, 1936.  The Second World War began in 1939 and ended in 1945, which means Obama Sr. was 3 years old when the war began, and nine years old when WWII ended. Sr. died on November 24, 1982 at the age of 46 from an alcohol-fueled car accident.

Obama Jr.’s step-father, the Indonesian Lolo Soetoro, was born in 1935, which means Soetoro was 5 years old when WWII began and 10 years old when it ended. Soetoro died in 1987 at the age of 52.

This imposter in the White House told a bald-faced absurd lie about his father. And yet, we hear nothing about this from the Establishment Media.

This is the Beginning of the End for Barack Hussein Obama

This is the audio of Rev. James David Manning interviewing Carl Swensson, one of the plaintiffs at last Thursday’s historic hearing on whether Obama, a sitting President of the United States, is constitutionally eligible to have his name be placed on Georgia’s presidential primary ballot.

Since neither Obama, the defendant, nor his attorney, Michael Jablonski, showed up at the hearing, they effectively forfeited their defense. This means the judge can issue a default judgment in the plaintiffs’ favor. And that was exactly what Judge Malihi told the plaintiffs’ attorneys on Thursday morning.

Swensson confidently predicts that Judge Malihi will rule against the defendant and recommend to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp that Obama’s name should not be on the state’s ballot. Mr. Kemp has indicated he will act in accordance with Malihi’s recommendation, which means Obama will lose Georgia’s 16 Electoral College votes.

But the impact goes beyond Georgia, because an example is now set for other lawsuits in other states to challenge Obama’s eligibility.

Wayne Madsen: Foreign Intelligence Agencies Say Obama Birth Certificate Is Fake

Wayne Madsen is the investigative reporter who broke the “Obama was a longtime member of Chicago gay man’s club” story last year and also wrote about the still unsolved murder of Obama’s Chicago gay lover Donald Young. Two weeks ago Madsen said his sources told him he’s on the White House’s death list.

In a new report on Obama’s birth certificate that was released with great fanfare yesterday, Madsen says intelligence agencies around the world have scrutinized the birth certificate and decided it’s fake because of one word on the document. The word “African” was used to designate the race of Obama’s Kenyan father, at a time when neither the U.S. nor the British government (Kenya was a British colony) used that term. Instead, in 1961 the U.S. and the U.K. governments would use “Negro” and “black,” respectively, to refer to Barack Obama Sr.

World intelligence agencies: Obama’s long form birth certificate a rank forger

By Wayne Madsen – April 28, 2011

From intelligence agencies around the world, the verdict on President Obama’s newly-released certificate of live birth from Hawaii is in: the certificate is a rank forgery on the same level as the Niger “yellow cake” uranium and Iraq Oil Ministry forged documents. Intelligence and law enforcement services are experts on fake documents since they have to deal with large numbers of counterfeit documents, such as birth certificates, passports, identity cards and driver’s licenses, as well as currency. Intelligence agencies are also experts at forging their own documents for their clandestine agents.

Within 24-hours of the release of the long form Certificate of Live Birth on April 27, intelligence agencies from Britain and China to Germany and Russia examined the document and concluded it was a forgery based on the fact that Barack H. Obama Sr.’s race, listed as “African,” was a monumental error, considering that not only the United States, but other English-speaking nations described Africans and those of African descent as either “Negroes” or “blacks” in 1961.

In 1961, the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare classified non-Whites, who were not Asian, Eskimo, Aleut, Hawaiian, part-Hawaiian, or other “non-White,” as “Negro.” The U.S. Census Bureau also used the term “Asian and other Pacific Islander” in 1961, which included Filipino, Hawaiian, and part-Hawaiian. The Census Bureau, like HEW, used the term “Negro” to describe blacks and those of black descent. The term “mulatto,” used to describe those of mixed white and black ancestry, ceased being used by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1918.

U. S. Dept. of Health Education, and Welfare;

National Vital Statistics Division;

Race and color

Births in the United States in 1961 are classified for vital statistics into white, Negro, American Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Aleut, Eskimo, Hawaiian and Part-Hawaiian (combined), and “other nonwhite.”

The category “white” includes, in addition to persons reported as “white,” those reported as Mexican or Puerto Rican. With one exception, a reported mixture of Negro with any other race is included in the Negro group; other mixed parentage is classified according to the race of the nonwhite parent and mixtures of nonwhite races to the race of the father. The exception refers to a mixture of Hawaiian and any other race, which is classified as Part-Hawaiian. In most tables a less detailed classification of “white” and “nonwhite” is used.

In the United Kingdom, the terms “black” and “Asian” were used in the 1961 census to describe those who were “non-white British” nationals. Barack Obama, Sr., as a citizen of the British Colony of Kenya, would have known that his British racial designation was “black” in 1961. The term “African” was not used as a racial designation in either the colony of Kenya or on the British mainland. In South Africa and other British colonies in Africa, “Coloured” was used to describe those of mixed white-black descent.

The consensus among intelligence agency experts is that the Obama long form Certificate of Live Birth was hastily manufactured by an amateur who never thought of using the standard race designation of Negro in Barack Obama, Sr.’s racial designation block on the form either due to ignorance or an attempt to be politically correct in 2011 by refusing to use an accepted term from 1961.

The past decade has seen the use of crude forgeries to propel the United States into a war in Iraq (the bogus Niger “yellow cake” uranium documents) and to try to indict various U.S. and foreign politicians and businessmen (the fake Iraq Oil Ministry “Oil-for-Food” documents). The Obama forged Certificate of Live Birth represents yet another attempt to perpetuate a fraud on a grand scale.

By U.S. Senate’s Definition, Obama Is Ineligible – Not a Natural Born Citizen

The facts now are clear and irrefutable:

Barack Obama is ineligible to be President of the United States of America because he is NOT a natural born citizen.

Why?

Section 1, Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that only a “natural born citizen” can be President.

In 2008, when the Democrats raised the question of whether GOP presidential candidate Senator John McCain was a natural born citizen, the U.S. Senate looked into the matter and decided McCain is one.

On April 30, 2008, the Senate passed a resolution — that Obama himself had signed — to that effect, “Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.” SR 511 states the following:

“Whereas the Constitution of the United States requires that, to be eligible for the Office of the President, a person must be a `natural born Citizen’ of the United States;

“Whereas the term `natural born Citizen’, as that term appears in Article II, Section 1, is not defined in the Constitution of the United States;

Whereas there is no evidence of the intention of the Framers or any Congress to limit the constitutional rights of children born to Americans serving in the military nor to prevent those children from serving as their country’s President;…

Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That John Sidney McCain, III, is a `natural born Citizen’ under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”

In other words, the U.S. Senate defines “natural born citizen” as an individual who was born:

1. On American soil (which includes U.S. overseas military bases); and
2. Of parents who were American citizens at the time of the child’s birth.

By that definition, Obama is not a Natural Born Citizen — even if he produces definitive documentary proof he was born in Hawaii — because his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., was a native Kenyan and a British colonial subject who gave his Kenyan citizenship to his son. In fact, by pro-Obama FactCheck.org’s own admission, Obama was a Kenyan citizen until his Kenyan citizenship expired on August 4, 1984 after he had reached adulthood.

Secrets About His Past Obama Doesn’t Want You to Know

Obama managed to get elected in 2008 despite his secrecy and questionable birth eligibility because the MSM aided and abetted him by not investigating him as they should, and because of the willing blindness (if not collusion) of the Democrat and Republican Parties.

But he can’t pull the same stunt in 2012, because the secret’s out. Many Americans know about it, this blog (among others) has posted on it, and Donald Trump is drawing national attention to it. Here’s an excellent article on the subject.

The President with No Past: Obama’s
Electability in 2012

By Dr Stuart Jeanne Bramhall – Political Fail Blog – April 11, 2011

What are the chances of a president who has all his pre-presidential records sealed
winning re-election to a second term? At the moment, because of Executive Order 13489, the public and press have virtually no way to independently verify much of what Obama tells us of his early life. Except for Fox News, the mainstream media has virtually ignored Executive Order 13489 (http://www.fas.org/sgp/obama/presidential.html), which Obama signed immediately on assuming the presidency. In my view, this poses a major public relations problem for a president has broken all his campaign promises and who has no public record prior to 2004.

Among pre-presidential records declared “sealed” when the press has asked to see them are (see http://tinyurl.com/2g3k5vp):

• All college records from Occidental College, Columbia University or Harvard Law School.
• All Harvard Law Review articles and University of Chicago scholarly articles.
• Obama’s client list from the law firm he worked for in Chicago.
• His Illinois state senate records and schedules (which are supposedly lost).
• His passport records.
• His parents’ marriage license and divorce decree.
• His mother’s marriage license from her second marriage.
• His adoption and kindergarten records.

What’s Obama Hiding?

Except for a few reactionary birthers, who believe the president was secretly born in Kenya (with an American mother, he would still be a US citizen under current law), the most popular theory is that Obama spent his early adult life working for US intelligence. The Russians apparently had their suspicions when they detained Senator Obama in 2004, following a three day disarmament fact finding mission and demanded to search his aircraft (http://tinyurl.com/43tgu28). It’s also a matter of public record that Business International Corporation (BIC), which employed Obama for one year after he graduated from Columbia University in 1983 was a front company the CIA used for economic intelligence gathering (New York Times 12/27/77). According to the Times, BIC used journalists as non-official cover (NOC) agents in a number of foreign countries. A NOC (Valerie Plame is the best example) is an intelligence operative who assumes a covert role in an organization with no official ties to the government they are spying for. Obama’s job was to do research and to write for two BIC publications, Financing Foreign Operations and Business International
Money Report (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_International_Corporation).

Reverend Manning’s Mock Treason Trial

Following Obama’s inauguration, Harlem pastor Dr James David Manning propelled Obama’s past into public view with a highly publicized mock treason-sedition trial in May 2010. In my view, the transcript of Dr Manning’s trial makes a pretty convincing case that Obama didn’t attend Columbia University in 1982-83, the years he claims to have been there. He’s not listed in the year book or the graduation roster, and no one in the political science department (his major) recalls ever seeing him there.
The rest of the case is based on hearsay evidence from a phone conversation a Manning witness had with an alleged KGB-CIA double agent named Krezonoski. According to the double agent, Obama was really in Afghanistan in 1982-83, as the lead agent for the CIA operation training mujaheddin guerrillas to fight the Soviet occupation. In his testimony, the same witness implicates Obama in a vast liberal conspiracy which also involves Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Whitewater scandal.

Wayne Madsen’s Investigation Into Obama’s Elusive Past

Wayne Madsen, whose intelligence credentials (see below) make his allegations more plausible, also claims that Obama was in Afghanistan between 1981 and 1983. However his sources (unnamed intelligence operatives and arms dealers in Kabul) are only slightly more credible than an alleged phone conversation with a
supposed KGB/CIA agent.

Obama admits that he was in Pakistan in 1981, visiting his mother, who had been transferred from Indonesia to Lahore. However there are some interesting unanswered questions about this trip, such as why a 20 year college student would be staying with a high level Pakistani official Muhammadmian Soomo (who would become acting president of Pakistan in 2008) and why the President has sealed these passport records.

The Foundations Obama Worked for in Chicago

It’s also Madsen’s belief that furniture sales was merely a cover, that Stanley Armour Dunham had a CIA role in overseeing Airlift Africa and other foreign students at the University of Hawaii. Even more mysterious is Madsen’s photo of the family in Beirut, Lebanon in the early fifties (http://www.opinion-maker.org/2010/08/special-report-the-story-of-obama-all-in-the-company-part-iii/). Madsen also notes the existence of an FBI file on Armour Dunham (J Edgar Hoover commonly kept files on covert CIA agents) which was allegedly destroyed in 1997.

Obama first gained public prominence as the chairman of the board of the “liberal” Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). However strong links between CAC and Chicago’s business elite, as well as their successful attacks against
teachers’ unions (by empowering Local School Councils to fire hundreds of
teachers and principals), raise serious questions about CAC’s “liberal”
credentials. This becomes especially significant in light of Obama’s appointment
of former Chicago school district CEO and school privatization champion Arne
Duncan as director of the Department of Education (see blog).

As Webster Tarpley points out in Barack H. Obama: the Unauthorized Biography, one of the strongest supporters of CAC was Chicago corporate mogul Thomas Ayers. By an amazing coincidence, Ayers was the father of the former Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers. Nevertheless Tom Ayers has impeccable corporate credentials, which include heading Commonwealth Edison for seven years in the seventies, and serving on the board of General Dynamics, Searle, Chicago Pacific, Zenith, Northwest Industries, First National Bank of Chicago and the Chicago Tribune.

Bill Ayers, the Ex-Weatherman Terrorist

Stranger still Bill Ayers, the ex-Weatherman terrorist, wrote the grant to
secure Annenberg funding for the CAC and credits himself as one of its co-founders. He was also influential in getting his friend Barack Obama, a 34
year old with no education credentials, appointed as CAC’s first chairman.
Obama’s annual salary as board chairman was $70,000 (in addition to his
substantial income from his law practice).

All this raises the tricky question of how Bill Ayers transformed himself from a bomb making terrorist facing the death penalty to a tenured Professor of Education at the University of Illinois-Chicago and pre-eminent education reformer. Many former Students for a Democratic Society (from which the Weathermen formed their splinter group) believe the Weather Underground was actually created by US intelligence, with the objective of discrediting, fragmenting and/or shutting down SDS. This view is substantiated by FBI documents that came to light in 1973, revealing the role of agent provocateurs in instigating much of the violence attributed to the Weathermen. Ayers successfully used this evidence to get his weapons and bomb making charges dismissed.

Obama’s Fictional Autobiography

For me, Madsen’s most interesting and credible findings concern Obama’s family, rather than the President himself. I think they establish quite clearly that Obama’s parents, maternal grandparents and stepfather — like the Bush family — all had intelligence links. And that Obama has fabricated many details about his past to conceal this.

The scenario Obama lays out in Dreams from My Father about his parents’
background differs markedly from limited information available from school and
other public school records. He indicates his parents first met in a Russian class at the University of Hawaii in [1960] ( In Dreams from My Father, Obama says 1959, when her yearbook indicates she was still in Seattle attending Mercer Island High school).

However Wayne Madsen points out that Stanley Armour Dunham, Ann’s father, already knew Obama senior. He has a 1959 photo of Dunham officially welcoming Obama senior with a traditional lei ceremony. This suggests that Stanley Armour probably relocated to Hawaii in 1959, with his family following a year later. Moreover the photo raises the interesting question of why an alleged furniture salesman, with no prior connections to the Honolulu business community or the University of Hawaii is welcoming the first Kenya student to enroll there.

Stanley Dunham, Obama’s maternal grandfather, stands next to Barack Obama Sr. with flower leis.

Madsen believes that rather than being a simple goat herder, as Obama claims, his father was one of 280 students from British eastern and southern African colonies sponsored to study in the US under the CIA-inspired Airlift Africa project. http://www.voltairenet.org/article166741.html The goal of the project was to counter the influence of Soviet and Chinese backed rebels and leaders as these colonies gained independence.

It’s also Madsen’s belief that furniture sales was merely a cover, that Stanley Armour Dunham had a CIA role in overseeing Airlift Africa and other foreign students at the University of Hawaii. Even more mysterious is Madsen’s photo of the family in Beirut, Lebanon in the early fifties (http://www.opinion-maker.org/2010/08/special-report-the-story-of-obama-all-in-the-company-part-iii/). Madsen also notes the existence of an FBI file on Armour Dunham (J Edgar Hoover commonly kept files on covert CIA agents) which was allegedly destroyed in 1997.

Who Was the Real Ann Dunham?

Obama also likes to portray his mother as a struggling single parent and a free spirit and “sixties child.” However Madsen has compiled considerable evidence suggesting she was actually a career employee (and possibly a NOC — an agent under non-official cover like Valerie Plame) for a series of known CIA fronts (the USAID-funded Lembaga Pendidikan Pembinaan Manajemen, Development Alternatives Inc., the Ministry of Industry Provincial Development Program, the Ford Foundation Southeast Asia regional office, and the Asian Development Bank). Among her other duties in Indonesia in the 1970s, was “anthropological” field work. Madsen believes this was actually intelligence gathering to consolidate the CIA-sponsored coup (1965-67) that overthrew Indonesian president Sukarno. (see http://www.t-room.us/2011/03/by-wayne-madsen-obamas-cia-mommy-dearest-%E2%80%94-identifying-indonesians-for-assassination/).

Among other evidence, Madsen cites a resolution passed by the American Anthropological Association in the mid-sixties condemning “intelligence
meddling” of the CIA and Defense Department in anthropological field work. He
also quotes the 1966 Beals Report (http://www.sciencemag.org/content/154/3756/1525.citation), which states that “several anthropologists, especially younger ones who had difficulty in securing research funds, were approached by “obscure’ foundations or were offered support from such organizations only to discover later that they were expected to provide intelligence information to the CIA.”

Colonel Lolo Soetoro

In 1962 Stanley Ann Dunham divorced Obama senior and met retired Indonesian Colonel Lolo Soetoro. She married him in either March 1964 or March 1965 (her passport records list two different dates). However Ann
remained in Honolulu when Soetoro returned to Indonesia in 1966. She and five
year old Barack joined him in 1967, after she received her bachelor’s degree in
anthropology.

According to Madsen, Soetoro was linked to the CIA via his participation in the 1965-67 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Sukarno, Indonesia’s first democratically elected president. Madsen disputes Obama’s claim that Soetoro did “topicological surveys” for the Indonesian army when he returned from Hawaii in 1966. I, too, find it extremely implausible that the fascist general Suharto would employ an experienced combat officer to perform geological
surveys in a country racked by extreme political instability and violence. Although his evidence is sketchy, Madsen believes Soetoro returned to active
duty to fight communist insurgents in Java (see http://www.opinion-maker.org/2010/08/special-report-the-story-of-obama-all-in-the-company-part-iii/).

By the time Ann joined Soetoro in Jakarta in June 1967, Suharto had consolidated the coup and installed himself as acting president (March 1967).
