Spying on America

I See You; I Know Everything About you!
 
                                                                                                                                    [Image: MKDavis]


PRELUDE

"... the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor ... enemies or potential enemies. We must know that capability could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left: such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn't matter.

                                                         There would be no place to hide!

.
"If this government ever became a tyranny, the technological capacity that the Intelligence Community has could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that all agencies operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss."   

 

"That is the abyss from which there is no return!"

                                                                                                                         Senator Frank Church [1975]


                                           
                                                                               

Has anything changed?

Given the recent FBI Whistle-Blower disclosures presented for Congressional records, it seemed appropriate to include the range [there's not room here for the full list] of Intelligence Community [IC] illegal activities during the Bush-Clinton-0bama-Biden regime.  

It's really nothing new, but merely a shift from the FBI/CIA spying on Americans to the political weaponization by the democrats against Conservatives.  

The Church Committee

Back in the 1970s, the Church and Pike Committees investigated the FBI and other IC components, and discovered a broad range of illegal activities.     [Click here for that link]. 

The Committees suspected illegal activities, but were stunned by the depths of depravity the Intelligence operations had achieved in unauthorized spying on Americans.  


Ted Kaczynski


The most shocking revelations of the Committee include 

1) Operation MK-ULTRA, in which US Citizens were drugged and tortured as part of human experimentation on Mind Control [e.g., Ted Kaczynski (aka: UnaBomber), a brilliant Harvard student who volunteered for a CIA psychological program which subjected him to inhuman stresses.  He completed the program suffering a nervous breakdown[(and we hypothesized that there are many like him whom we've seen become mass murderers, triggered by CIA cues - e.g., the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting].

He moved to California where he became a professor, and also became the psychotic UnaBomber. 

MK-Ultra was not cancelled as a result, but continued well into the future.  

One operation was recruiting "volunteers" from Army draftees who signed up for a special program which would release them from the miseries of "Hell Week" and later stress during Boot Camp.  The lure was that they would be part of a psychological test program and live in luxurious barracks in another Military Base [Fort Detrick], thus escaping the harassment of Drill Sergeants - or, the threat of being shipped to Vietnam to fight [and die] for their country.  There are no records available of those "volunteers", but I suspect many of them ended up as psychiatric patients.  


A movie drawn from that program is "Jacobs Ladder" - worth watching to get a realistic appreciation of what MK-Ultra volunteers went through.  

Think also in terms of the crazy shooters [e.g., Aurora, Colorado theater shooter,, or the Texas Tower Sniper] who had extended involvement with "government psychologists".




A "fictional account" was The Child Buyer, a book which details the process the CIA went to acquire exceptional kids on whom they could experiment.  Parochial schools were active hunting grounds with nuns operating as intermediaries.

2) COINTELPRO involved the surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr., and infiltration of American political and civil-rights organizations. It was a covert operation conducted by the FBI (1956-1971) to discredit and neutralize organizations considered subversive to US political stability; it used extralegal means to criminalize various forms of political protest and derail civil rights movements. Targeted organizations includedthe Communist Party, Black Panther Party, American Indian Movement, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and Ku Klux Klan

Tactics included intense surveillance, organizational infiltration, anonymous mailings, and police harassment.






3
Family Jewels, CIA program to covertly assassinate foreign leaders (and US political leaders, such as President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.).  

Director of Central Intelligence, Bill Colby, disclosed this program during Senate hearings.  

[Bill felt remorse for his involvement and became the source for much of Tom Clancy's "factional novels" about the spy world, leading later to the assassination of Colby, Clancy, and Clancy's researcher, John Gresham.]


4) Project SHAMROCK in which the major telecommunications companies (e.g., AT&T) shared their communications monitoring traffic with the NSA - by-passing the legal prohibitions on illegal wire-taps.  



Listening to
Your Phone
 
Notably, ATT still has 20+ story buildings with no windows scattered around the US - which we are told are directly connected to the NSA.]

These listening posts are an integral part of one of the world’s largest telecommunications networks - linked to an NSA surveillance program.

In these cities, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC, The Intercept identified AT&T facilities containing networking equipment transporting large quantities of internet traffic across the US and the world.  Evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats. 


[Dropping back to 2013, you might be interested in how egregious that spying on US Citizens actually was, when I disclosed Mr. Clapper's illegal activities - in the name of National Security].  But it continued, unabated, for the next 10+ years - and Clapper is still not in prison [although Google (a CIA creation) destroys my blog posts periodically to "protect 'National Security' "..

As clarification, our Intelligence Community [of which I was a part as an analyst, operator, CI agent, and DCS Director of Operations over a period of 20+ years], was created as a defensive mechanism against actual and/or potential adversaries.  It was never intended to target US Citizens - and it never has.  

However, during the growth of the Deep State by both Democrats and RINOs [the UNIPARTY] we've found ourselves targeted by our own government if we dare to criticize Congress, the SCOTUS, or the POTUS.  

Now an Enemy of the Deep State


Here are some of the Intelligence Community programs disclosed by Julian Assange's "WikiLeaks", which discloses Intelligence operations targeting Citizens.  He's been a target of the Deep State for well over ten years, disclosing and publishing details of criminal activities by politicians, intelligence organizations, diplomats, the Military, and US and other presidents.  

As a global whistleblower and skilled hacker, he faces criminal charges by those who seek to silence him.  Not surprisingly, Trump has been falsely  accused of targeting him.

Some of Assange's sources have included Chelsea Manning and Seth Rich, both of whom provided Assange with headline news stories of illegal diplomatic and political chicanery.



Lest you think these spy operations were limited in number and scope, I'll list just a few of the less visible ones which have been outed by Assange and other whistle-blowers.  Their objective is to identify the programs and to end the targeting of US citizens by a rogue Intelligence Community.

The HAMMER:  A software program designed as an anti-terrorism tool to identify and monitor foreign terrorists [by Dennis Montgomery].  The 0bama administration Intelligence Community re-purposed it to spy on American Citizens and collect massive amounts of surveillance data for “leverage” and “blackmail.”   It was allegedly used to spy on Trump, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and millions of other Americans during the Obama administration.  On August 19, 2015, Montgomery produced 46 hard drives and 600 million pages of evidence documenting illegal surveillance to the FBI.  [No charges were levied against any 0bama official for these criminal activities.]


Here's a sampling of the programs developed to monitor you and other US Citizens.  Check to see if you're vulnerable.  

Now, since Assange outed these spy programs, we have to assume they've been declassified - and banned by the Justice Department.


FISA AUTHORIZED SPYING

PRISM (
aka:
SIGAD

NSA collected internet communications from US internet companies specifically  stored internet communications of internet companies 

(e.g., Facebook and Google) under  the FISA Act to turn over any data that matched court-approved search terms. NSA could use these requests to target encrypted communications sent over the internet, focusing on "discarded" (but actually stored) data that telecom filtering systems had "discarded" earlier.



Imperial:  Consists of Achilles, Aeres and SeaPea which could Trojanize an OS X disk image, or install a persistent rootkit. 

a) Aeris:  Backdoor targeting Linux-based systems, (e.g., Debian, RHEL, Solaris, FreeBSD, CentOS) for file exfiltration, configurable beacon interval, and jitter, standalone and Collide-based HTTPS LP.  Targets Linux systems to secretly extract data from computers.

b) Achilles:  Infected software image to install a Trojan on a target computer, and then automatically remove signs of the malware from the image to prevent detection. 

c) SeaPea: a rootkit disguised as an iTunes component which can survive system reboots.



BothanSpy:
 An implant targeting Secure Shell (SSH) client programs) on the Microsoft Windows platform Xshell; it steals user credentials for all active SSH sessions. It could exfiltrate the stolen credentials to a CIA-controlled server or save it in an encrypted file for later exfiltration.





ELSA:  A geo-location malware for WiFi-enabled devices [e.g., video camera security surveillance using Microsoft Windows or similar software. It scans WiFi access points, recording the Extended Service Set (ESS) identifier, MAC address, and signal strength. The target machine does not have to be online or connected to an access point; it only needs to be running with an enabled WiFi device. When connected to the internet, it automatically uses Google or Microsoft geo-location databases to find the position of the device and stores the location and time-stamp for later exfiltration. 
Recorded data can be harvested in this program.

Cherry Blossom:

It monitors Internet activity of software of Persons of Interest, focusing on compromising wireless networking devices [e.g., wireless routers and access points such as those used  in private homes, public spaces (bars, hotels, gated communities or airports), small and medium sized companies making them ideal for "Man-In-The-Middle" attacks [e.g., NSA between transmitter and receiver), easily monitor, control and manipulate the Internet traffic of connected users. By altering the data stream between the user and Internet services, the infected device can inject malicious content into the stream to exploit vulnerabilities in applications or the operating system on the computer of the targeted user.

Once CherryBlossom firmware is flashed on the device, the router or access point will become a so-called FlyTrap.   For a Flytrap include (among others) the scan for email addresseschat usernamesMAC addresses and VoIP numbers in passing network traffic to trigger additional actions, the copying of the full network traffic of a Target, the redirection of a Target’s browser 


-----------------------------------------


The preceding disclosures are only a few of the IC surveillance programs directed against US citizens by the Deep State.  You may recall that the Constitution FOR the US directs the government to work FOR the citizens - not against them.  We trust that this mis-directed government will be REDIRECTED  in the very near future.

But, before you assume only the government is monitoring you, keep in mind that former government employees working for NSA and other agencies in the IC and Law Enforcement Communities now work for private companies offering "Security Services"!  And, they are perfectly willing to adapt their haedwar, software, and firmware into the commercial products and services they offer.  It's important to note that, even though the US government forbids the employment of Chinese or Israeli equipment or software, private companies have no such restrictions - so what you acquire for your own or neighborhood security could very well feed indirectly into China or some of our less-than-trustworthy "allies".

Rest assured, they won't use a FISA warrant to spy on you, and on your children.

Are Mass Shooters Programmed

 Jacob's Ladder scene documenting behavior modification experiments on GIs                         [RedditReport.com] 


Click here for related story [#Time, Nate Rawlings]

In the last few years, we've been overwhelmed with events in which mild-mannered, polite folks one day pick up one or more firearms and walk into a crowded venue, and start shooting, usually followed by their suicide[s] -- or death[s] by a SWAT unit.

Rarely do we get a good picture of the shooter, although it is rather amazing that within minutes of the shooting, an unidentified law enforcement official is on hand to provide a full personal history of the shooter, complete with stories of the shooter's bizarre past and violent nature.  This, of course, contradicts the observations of friends of the shooter, who are completely bewildered that the person with whom they have been close friends for quite some time would suddenly go out on a shooting spree.

Let's look at one of these folks:




Holmes 
The Shooter

James E Holmes
, Aurora Theater Mass Shooter: killed 12 people
    Mensa-level intellect, played soccer, ran cross-country track,
    regular Lutheran churchgoer; friendly, outgoing.
    -- Intern at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in 2006
    -- UC-Riverside Grad Phi Beta Kappa,
          "a very effective group leader"
    -- PhD student in neuroscience at the
           University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

    -- Turned down a full fellowship and a stipend of $22,600
    -- Volunteered for psychiatric experiments
    --  Inexplicably dropped out of his school program of psychiatric studies.
    --  After the shooting, his shrink advised that she considered him dangerous
    --  Left voice-mail described as ".. bizarre, freaky, guttural, incoherent and rambling"
    --  Police produced records that he had purchased guns and booby-trapped his apartment
    --  He had no experience with guns or explosives

    --  The shooting consisted of a well-planned, sophisticated assault on the theater audience by
          a skilled tactical soldier, experienced in urban assault operations -- not a PhD research student!
          As a former Intelligence Analyst, I surmised this was a staged shooting, with an accomplice
          opening the exit door, allowing the shooter[s] to enter anddispense smoke and tear gas grenades
          and opening fire with these weapons:
            (1) tactical shotgun with a drum magazine
            (2) S&W M&P 15 semi-automatic rifle
            (3) Glock 22 40 Caliber handgun
            (4) Police found more firearms in his car

    --  One victim in the audience stated that an official in the lobby told the audience to remain
         in their seats for "safety"

Holmes
The PhD Student

Photos of Holmes as a student contradict the facial structure of the shooter, so we're not sure if the fellow who was arrested was actually Holmes.

[Was the shooter a programmed "Fall Guy"?
Police arrested him while he stood next to his car in a daze, behind the theater.  Not what you would expect from an active shooter!





Seung-Hui Cho
The Shooter

Seung-Hui Cho,
Virginia Tech Mass shooter, shot and killed 32 students and wounded 17 others - before committing suicide.   

[In the Eighth Grade, he was diagnosed with Selective Mutism, a social anxiety disorder, and was treated ",,, through medication and therapy 
[not further defined].]

Seung-Hui Cho
The Student



An exceptional, gifted student, Seung-Hui finished a three year elementary program in a year and a half.  He was remarkable for his skill in Mathematics and English. 

He was described by fellow students as "... a boy of knowledge", "a good dresser who gets along with the girls".  



------------------------------------------

Having been in the Intelligence system (DCI Exceptional Analyst Award), and in the Military (Editor: Pentagon Black Book), I'm familiar with a variety of psychological engineering programs which were designed to create such behavior.  

One, which Time describes in the referenced story, was Project MK-ULTRA, which modified the behavior of subjects using drugs such as LSD and barbiturates, was created under the auspices of CIA's Scientific Intelligence Division and the Special Operations Division of the Army's Chemical Corps at Fort Detrick, Maryland.  [You may wish to research Project MKCHICKWIT and MKSEARCH]

The program consisted of about 150 sub-projects contracted out to at least 80 universities, research foundations, and similar institutions using roughly 185 private researchers.  Methodologies included
 "the surreptitious administration of drugs [e.g., LSD] and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and various forms of torture."

Trained to kill on command

Project Artichoke
was a mind control program which included hypnosis, forced morphine addiction and forced withdrawal and the use of chemicals and other methods to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in subjects.  

The goal of Project Artichoke was to
".... get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against the fundamental laws of nature....".

[Ed Note:  A popular Netflix series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_Things) accurately portrays this type of psychological programming for exceptionally gifted children, turning them into professional killers, or, remote viewing, or, psychics.]

Interestingly, similar programs were extensions of the records captured after World War II from the Nazis and the Japanese [Unit 731] who conducted extensive experiments in concentration and prisoner of war camps.  At the end of WWII, there was a great race between the US and Soviet armies to liberate those camps for the sole reason of capturing these medical experimentation files.  The US collected most of the files which were then shipped to Fort Detrick.

Are you having a hard time buying into all these revelations?
Could our beloved CIA be behind the mass shootings as the basis for "Gun Control"?
Nah!
But wait!
How about this true life story:

Kaczynski - Genius Student
[CIA experimental subject]
You may remember Ted Kaczynski, also known as the serial killer/domestic terrorist Unabomber, who killed three and injured 23.  Ted was one of the original domestic terrorists, the guy who sent explosive packages to scientists to bring public attention to his Manifesto "Industrial Society and Its Future".

How did this guy, a child prodigy, who was accepted into Harvard University at age 16, earned his PhD from Michigan University in Mathematics, and became an assistant professor at Berkeley at 25, turn into a mass murderer?

Ted was one of those students recruited by Professor Henry Murray for CIA's "psychological experiments" in which the students were told they would be debating personal philosophy with a fellow student as part of a psych research program.

Instead, Ted's program, measured his "reactions under extreme stress" using "vehement, sweeping and personally abusive" attacks, assaulting his ego, his cherished ideas and beliefs, leading to high levels of stress and distress.

    a. His pre-program evaluation records reflect that he was "emotionally stable" before the
        program; later, in psychological assessments during his court trial, his "emotional instability"
        was attributed to a "dislike of mind control" due to "his participation in the Harvard program.
    b. He later abruptly resigned his position as an assistant professor and became a recluse and
        survivalist.
    c. His bombing terror campaign was accompanied by unique statements, which his brother
        recognized; his brother then reported him to the FBI.
    d. The Net: The Unabomber, LSD and the Internet, is an independent film which describes the
        development of the Unabomber and his subsequent targeting.
    d. The Atlantic Monthly, in a June 2000 article by Alston Chase, describes Kaczinski's abusive
        mental ordeal as an undergraduate volunteer in a Harvard psychology program, essentially
        attributes that mental manipulation as the basis for Kaczynski's mass murder activities.

Hmm. What are the chances that James Holmes, our Aurora shooter, and Seung-Hui Cho went through a similar program.  All were geniuses, all were mild-mannered students with no previous violent tendencies, all were involved in government funded psychological research or "therapy" programs, and all ended up committing terrorist acts.

So, how many of these government programmed killers will be unleashed on society today as mass shooters -- with the objective of creating public demand for Gun Control.

Footnote:  
What are some of the selection criteria for these psych subjects turned mass shooters.
Did you take a barrage of tests late in high school or in your freshman year in college, or when you joined the Military?  
You may have been a potential subject yourself as a result of taking one or more of these tests.
Would you have qualified as a subject for manipulation as a mass shooter?

Obama's Third Term

0bama Never admitted He Was (Is) A Communist


ED NOTE (25 Aug2024)
I'm republishing this 2023 BlogPost to further define
the "Democrat Party" as it is today.  The DNC was subsumed
to the New Party agenda which sponsored the communist 
programs which we have seen become Mainstream America
Social Systems.  

Take a look, and you'll see the evolution of
Communism in America as 0bama infiltrated our political system
and manipulates what passes for the Democrat Party today.

Biden failed, and Kamala now steps in with Walz, a fellow 
communist, and when Walz gets dumped, they'll bring in 
Pete Buttplug, from a communist family to replace Walz, 
and 
when Kamala steps down, Mayor Pete will become the
Democrat candidate of choice to try to become POTUS and 
finally create the USSA [United Soviet States of America].

 



This is another in my series of guest posts by credible authors, 
I re-publish information of historical value to a broad audience.  
This article reveals 0bama's early and continued communist influence.
This post merely gives you a taste of 0bama's devious operations.

My purpose is educational, i.e., to reveal 0bama's plan 
to convert the US into a communist nation, with 
liberty and justice denied to all.

We are, in the guise of the "Biden Administration", 
currently in 0bama's Third Term!





 New documents shed more light on 0bama's ties to the 1990s Leftist (communist) party in the 1990s. 


1) Obama's campaign for the Illinois state senate in the mid-1990s.


Mitt: No Testosterone!



On January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic Party, and even to American capitalism. 



Romney snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in his debate with 0bama, caving to "moderator" CNN's Candy Crowly, who tripped up Romney with a trick question, leaving Romney, the clear winner, looking like a fool. 




[Ed Note:  The New Party was an electoral alliance dedicated to electing Leftist [some say communist] candidates to office, usually through the Democratic Party.


These organizations formed the backbone of The New Party 


1) The Democratic Socialists of America       Its roots are in the Socialist Party of America (SPA), 

                                                                            whose leaders included Eugene V. DebsNorman Thomas

                                                                            and Michael Harrington.


2) ACORN

    The largest radical organization in the US         

    (Association of Community Organizations for

        for Reform Now

   




Goal: Total Destruction

3)
 SEIU The radical labor union    

    (Service Employees International Union)

    (Was SEIU the theme for the nihilist movie, the Fight Club? )

  

4)  Committees of Correspondence 

    (A Communist Party USA breakaway group)


5) The Marxist  Institute for Policy Studies



Fast forward to 2008, candidate Obama deceived the American public about his damaging ties to this Third Party. The issue remains as fresh as today’s headlines, as Romney argued that Obama was trying to move the United States toward European-style Social Democracy, (on the path to communism) which was precisely the New Party’s goal!

In late October 2008, when Kurtz wrote at National Review Online that Obama had been a member of the New Party, 0bama's campaign sharply denied it, calling Kurtz's claim a “crackpot smear.” 

Fight the Smears, an official Obama-campaign website, staunchly maintained that
Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party.” 
Kurtz rebutted this, but the debate was never taken up by the mainstream press. 

[Ed Note:  0bama's tactics remain the same, though more refined; he continues operating behind the scenes, orchestrating the Biden Administration through Biden doubles (actors and robots) to complete his communist script in which he has imbedded communist operatives.  

It is the same tactic 0bama and his cabal are currently using against Trump to disrupt his campaign and impune his integrity; the concept is for a non-stop lies and personal attacks on one's opponent - a basic communist tactic.]

Evidence obtained from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society definitively established that Obama was a member of the New Party - undermining 0bama's story

0bama also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office. 

Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows: 
"Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.  Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined." 

 ACORN?, just a neighborhood social group
Knowing that Obama disguised his New Party membership helps make sense of his questionable handling of the 2008 controversy over his ties to ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now). 

During his third debate with John McCain, Obama said that the “only” involvement he’d had with ACORN was to represent the group in a lawsuit seeking to compel Illinois to implement the National Voter Registration Act, or motor-voter law. 


The records of Illinois ACORN and its associated union clearly contradict that assertion, as Kurtz shows in his political biography of the 0bama, Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism


Why did Obama deny his ties to ACORN? 
The group was notorious in 2008 for thug tactics, fraudulent voter registrations, and its role in popularizing risky sub-prime lending

Admitting that he had helped to fund ACORN’s voter-registration efforts and train some of their organizers would doubtless have been an embarrassment but not likely a crippling blow to his campaign. 

So why not simply confess the tie and make light of it? 
The problem for Obama was ACORN’s political arm, the New Party

The revelation in 2008 that Obama had joined an ACORN-controlled, Leftist third party could have been damaging indeed, and coming clean about his broader work with ACORN might easily have exposed these New Party ties. 

Because the work of ACORN and the New Party often intersected with Obama’s other alliances, 
honesty about his ties to either could have laid bare the entire network of his leftist political partnerships.

Although Obama is ultimately responsible for deceiving the American people in 2008 about his political background, he got help from his old associates -- radical terrorists.  Each of the two former political allies who helped him to deny his New Party membership during campaign ’08 was in a position to know better.

Carol Harwell

The Fight the Smears website quoted Carol Harwell, who managed Obama’s 1996 campaign for the Illinois senate: 
Barack did not solicit or seek the New Party endorsement for state senator in 1995.” 

Drawing on her testimony, Fight the Smears conceded that the New Party did support Obama in 1996 but denied that Obama had ever joined, adding that 
he was the only candidate on the ballot in his race and never solicited the endorsement.” 

This is a false statement! 

Obama formally requested New Party endorsement, signed the candidate contract, and joined the Party. 

Is it conceivable that Obama’s own campaign manager could have been unaware of this? 
The notion is implausible. And the documents make Harwell’s assertion more remarkable still. 

The New Party had a front group called Progressive Chicago, whose job was to identify candidates that the New Party and its sympathizers might support. 

Nearly four years before Obama was endorsed by the New Party, both he and Harwell joined Progressive Chicago and began signing public letters that regularly reported on the group’s meetings. By prominently taking part in Progressive Chicago activities, Obama was effectively soliciting New Party support for his future political career (as was Harwell, on Obama’s behalf). 

So Harwell’s testimony is doubly false

When the New Party controversy broke out, just about the only mainstream journalist to cover it was Politico’s Ben Smith, whose evident purpose was to dismiss it out of hand. He contacted Obama’s official spokesman Ben LaBolt, who claimed that his candidate “was never a member” of the New Party.
(Ed Note: Ben LaBolt has now (06/2023) been appointed White House Communications Director)

Professor Joel Rogers
UW-Madison
And New Party co-founder and leader Joel Rogers told Ben Smith, (Editor of the BuzzFeed):
We didn’t really have members.” 

But a line in the New Party’s official newsletter explicitly identified Obama as a Party member. Rogers dismissed that as mere reference to “the fact that the party had endorsed him.” 

This is nonsense. 
Kurtz exposed the falsity of Rogers’s bogus claim, and Smith’s credulity in accepting it, in 2008 [Smith's comment was that lies never got in the way of publishing). And in his book - Radical-in-Chief, Kurtz  took on Rogers’ continuing attempts to justify it. The now disclosed New Party records reveal how dramatically far from the truth Rogers’s statement was all along. 

In a memo dated January 29, 1996, Rogers, writing as head of the New Party Interim Executive Council, addressed 
standing concerns regarding existing chapter development and activity, the need for visibility as well as new members.” 

So less than three weeks after Obama joined the New Party, Rogers was fretting about the need for new members. Then, how could Rogers assert in 2008 that his Party “didn’t really have members”? 

Internal documents show that the entire leadership of the New Party, both nationally and in Chicago, was practically obsessed with signing up new members, from its founding moments until it dissolved in the late 1990s. 

In 2008, after Kurtz called Rogers out on his false claim that his party had no members; Rogers explained to Ben Smith that “we did have regular supporters whom many called ‘members,’ but it just meant contributing regularly, not getting voting rights or other formal power in NP governance.” 

This is also flatly contradicted by uncovered records.
 
At about the time Obama joined the New Party, the Chicago chapter was embroiled in a bitter internal dispute. A Party-membership list was attached to a memo in which the leaders of one faction consider a scheme to disqualify potential voting members from a competing faction, on the grounds that those voters had not re-newed their memberships. The factional leaders worried that their opponents would legitimately object to this tactic, since a mailing that called for members to renew hadn’t been properly sent out. 
[In fact, 0bama used this technique to eliminate his opponents in several elections - leaving him unopposed, and easily elected to the Legislature and to the US Senate.  In effect, he was able to negate the election for lack of opponents.]

The memo clearly demonstrates that, contrary to Rogers’s explanation, membership in the New Party entailed the right to vote on matters of party governance. 

In fact, Obama’s own New Party endorsement, being controversial, was thrown open to a members’ vote on the day he joined the party. 

Were Harwell and Rogers deliberately lying in order to protect Obama and deceive the public? 
Readers can decide for themselves. 

It is clear that Obama, through his official spokesman, Ben LaBolt, and the Fight the Smears website, was bent on deceiving the American public about a matter whose truth he well knew. The documents reveal that the New Party’s central aim was to move the United States steadily closer to European social democracy, a goal that Mitt Romney has also attributed to Obama

New Party leaders disdained mainstream Democrats, considering them tools of business, and promised instead to create a partnership between elected officials and local community organizations, with the goal of socializing the American economy to an unprecedented degree. The party’s official “statement of principles,” which candidates seeking endorsement from the Chicago chapter were asked to support, called for a “peaceful revolution” and included redistributive proposals substantially to the left of the Democratic Party

Frances Fox Piven
To get a sense of the ideology at play, consider that the meeting at which Obama joined the Party opened with the announcement of a forthcoming event featuring the prominent socialist activist Frances Fox Piven

[The organizations in which Piven was active included the Democratic Socialists of AmericaCommunist Party USAParty for Socialism and LiberationRevolutionary Communist Party, USASocialist Party USA, and, Industrial Workers of the World, among other extreme Leftist organizations.

{Oddly, Piven, a devout Socialist/Communist, was mentored for her doctoral dissertation by the arch-Conservative, Edward C. Banfield.}



Ed Note:

In conclusion, 0bama's electoral path was manipulated and smoothed from community organizer to the US Senate, and from there, with the massive support of the Media, entered - and forever soiled the White House.
----
Obama's campaigns have been so eerily similar and his dirty tricks so numerous that no one can blame you for putting several of them together. 


Just how deep were/are 0bama's communist connections?

1996 was the year Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate (this was the occasion of his infamous kickoff with (terrorists) Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn). 

Who were 0bama's well-connected communist mentors?

Davis

a) 
His closest advisor as a teen was Frank Marshall Davis, registered with the Communist Party of America [Card # 47544], and presumed by many to be Obama's biological father.  Obama's book about his father seems to be about "Uncle Frank".  

The FBI had compiled a 600 page dossier on Davis who was "extremely active in Chicago Communist Party fronts, campaigns, and newspapers. 

David Axelrod
b) Davis worked with the Canter family, which spawned devout Communists Joseph and Myril Axelrod -- parents of David Axelrod, Obama's past and current strategist - he's now a "political consultant" and News luminary.  

According to documents on Wikipedia (since  scrubbed), the Canters had lived in Moscow and worked as political advisors in Russia for the Stalin government prior to moving to Chicago. 


Axelrod’s background shows how ideas, policies and rhetoric originating in Marxist-Leninist doctrine and anti-American propaganda have been “mainstreamed” into Democratic Party politics.



[As it turned out, most of the suspicions of the HUAC were accurate - but ridiculed by the News Media]

Canter and fellow Communist propaganist/activist Don Rose,  met and became mentors to David Axelrod, shaping his political development.  

Adrian Fenty
That political strategy included thuggery, blackmail, official bribery, control of the News Media, and slanderous propaganda, and importantly, derailing opponents' administrative filings - eliminating them as candidates.

[A prime example was the unseating of Adrian Fenty, very pro-business, and one of the most popular mayors in Washington, DC history due to his law-and-order successes as well as his revamping of the school system and imposition of efficiency in the DC governent. He was a shoe-in for re-election, but was eliminated when his administrative assistant "failed to deliver" his candidacy paperwork on time - thus succumbing to his opponent, Vincent Gray, a lack-luster politician who reversed Fenty's programs.]


These are the Left's strategies, which the 0bama team implemented.



His campaign staff kept challenging the signatures on the nominating petitions of his four rivals (including Alice Palmer, who had actually groomed him to take her place), and with persistence were able to get ALL FOUR of his rivals eliminated, as with the David Axelrod strategy to unseat Mayor Fenty in Washington, DC. 

Thus 0bama ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination, and having obtained it simply walked into the office (no Republican would have had any chance in his Illinois district). 

How easy it is to get elected when your opposition has been cleared out of the way! 

Once elected, he voted on only about one third of the bills that came before the Illinois Senate including a "No" vote on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, thus placing himself to the Left of even Hilary Clinton on the abortion issue. 

 Obama's path to becoming US Senator from Illinois was more complicated. 

Blair Hull


It appeared he would have to defeat both Blair Hull in the primary and Jack Ryan in the 2004 general election, both formidable opponents. The wealthy Hull in fact seemed certain to defeat Obama, having a large lead in the polls. But then somehow Hull's sealed divorce records were leaked to the media, and Obama managed to overtake him. 



Jack Ryan



In what seemed like instant replay, Republican Jack Ryan's supposedly sealed divorce records were ALSO somehow made public, and he withdrew from the campaign, leaving the Republicans to run the hapless Alan Keyes at the last minute. 




Once again, Obama won - but only after the opposition was cleared out of his way for him. So who did all the leaking? The "credit" is sometimes given to the media (the Chicago Tribune did file suit to open up the records), but those conservatives unfortunate enough to live in Illinois were inclined to see in it the hand of David Axelrod



Herman Cain


It also tends to make one wonder about exactly who found those women to accuse Herman Cain of having affairs with them. 

Technically, therefore, Obama DID run without opposition in 1996 - but now you know the rest of the story.





----------------------------------------------------

Comments to Kurtz's article (below), amplify the questioning of 0bama's truthfulness, or, rather, his blatant lies on virtually every aspect of his campaign promises, or the programs he sponsored.  In essence, he can only be described as a Pathological Liar [and a communist].

1) "President Obama, promised that if I liked my current health insurance plan, I'd be able to keep it under the ACA.  As of January 1, 2011, my plan, which I liked, had for years, and covered my children and me, was discontinued by my employer. This was DIRECTLY due to the passage of the so-called Affordable Health Care Act."

2) "The cost of medical services I needed such as X-rays, and of my health insurance with a high deductible increased immediately 25% across the board with the passage of the Stimulus (it contained a requirement for all health providers to report treatment to federal government, not just file claims with insurance companies, as phase-in for national health records database - so much for HIPPA and medical privacy - no longer private from the feds) and premiums for all must now cover elimination of the waiting period for pre-existing conditions to be covered, and for young adults to remain on their parent's policies as "children" until age 26. The impact on my wallet for myself and my spouse was severe enough to cause us to 
a) drop health insurance and 
b) go without medical care and dental care that was sorely needed."

3) "Unemployment or maybe a few thousand more so-called green jobs or czars. He and his Dem friends threatened Martial law if some members didn't go along with his Obama Care Disaster.  He has threatened to over-ride Supreme Court Justice decisions; does he not believe that our Constitution was set up to prevent a dictator. His weapon of choice is the drone and the collateral damage is horrific.  I thought Hope and Change was all about transparency and he has not only hidden everything to do with his past, but his every move seems to be hidden."

4) "Give this power hungry liar four more years and there won't be a United States. We'll all be killed, incarcerated, broke, or involved in a revolution. 

5) If Obama is re-elected, you can bet he will allow the tax on dividends and capital gains to increase back to their old levels. Thus, the tax on dividends will increase from 15% to 39.6%, and when Obamacare goes into effect, it will slap and additional 3.8% on top of that for a grand total of 43.4%. Do you understand how that will affect stock prices, and what that will do to businesses trying to raise capital, and the effect on Cost of Capital? To investing in general? Do you understand what that will do to people who are currently unemployed, and how that will make it damned hard for business to maintain their current levels of employment? And how increasingly difficult it will make businesses acquire capital? Do you have a clue at all about what effects Obamacare will have in the aggregate? 
{Ed Note:  0bama (via Biden) was able to wipe out most of American Small Businesses with the mandatory closing of stores and factories during Covid.)

6) "My medical insurance policy premium went up approximately 22% to cover the costs of compliance with Obamacare. My dentist promptly stopped working with my carrier because they also reduced the amounts they'd pay out to him for services.

7) "No, I won't be TRULY happy to have to vote for Romney. I will, however, be completely elated to see Obama putting the White House in his rear view mirror. American taxpayer I don't feel Romney is the answer, but he is by far the better choice than Obama. This will be another election of selecting the best of the worst."

8)  "I think Romney is the lesser of two EVILS... three, if somehow Hillary got into the fray"

9)  "If as you've shown Democrats like Obama sought and received New Party membership and endorsement, did politicians from other parties "cross-pollinate" membership with the New Party? Specifically, were there any Chicago members of the New Party simultaneously proclaimed members of the CPUSA in 1996? Can it be shown that both Democrats like Obama and CPUSA members simultaneously belonged to the New Party and endorsed its ideals?"

10) "For a time in 2008, there was a very public endorsement of Obama by the CPUSA in the Community section of his campaign web site. It acknowledged Obama to be a candidate who most closely espoused their beliefs.  (That endorsement quickly disappeared.)"

11) "I was in the financial industry leading up to, and during the financial crisis, so I may be able to offer some clarity. ACORN and other such groups were specifically targeting financial lending institutions with racism/discrimination based law suits on behalf of people who didn't qualify and meet the traditional lending standards. 

Democrat Senators (e.g., Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi) lambasted financial regulations and sought to FORCE banks to GREATLY loosen the regulations and to lend to people who the bank (and the politicians) KNEW couldn't honestly afford the homes they were buying. Don't get me wrong, the banks were EQUALLY as guilty and more than willing to loosen the regulations, seeing as the Federal Government promised them they'd back their loans... and then stepped in to bail them out. (Remember 'Too Big To Fail' "?)

12) "You can thank first Pres. Carter, followed by Pres. Clinton for the Community Reinvestment Act."

13) "Once B Hussein wins second term, he'll never have to worry about winning another election. The massacre of innocent women and babies at Waco in 1993 will be child's play compared to B.O.'s intent to destroy his political enemies."  
{Ed Note:  Obama is proving this true by using the BidenBot to implement Obama's strategy}

14) "0bama is more radical than many think. He reminds me of Fidel Castro, who in 1959, insisted that he was a democrat whose only ambition was to return Constitutional rights to Cuba. There were many influential Cubans who thought otherwise, but were drowned out (really intimidated) by the Media and the mob that posed as "The People".  0bama, just like Castro, is waiting for the right time when he has gone around constitutional constraints enough to get firm control over the reins of government and is able to sic "the people" on those who oppose him."
