Obama's Terrorist Advisors




Coming soon to an election near you!
A great deal has been discussed about Mr Obama's philosophy, and we believe that one's philosophy is formed early in life by our family, educators, and associates.  An old slogan of the Jesuits was "Give me the child, and I will show you the man" -- i.e., molding the philosophy of a person is pretty well in place by adults of influence during their early years.

Although Mr Obama has not been terribly forthcoming about his early associates, there are some whose friendships, as he matured, which have been documented, and which we'll describe herein.  

Add caption
His elitest childhood years were spent with his mother in Indonesia where his transcripts designated his religion as Islam,  and where Tim Geithner's dad, of the Ford Foundation, employed Obama's mom to set up "micro-financing" programs.

They lived in a four star hotel, complete with round-the-clock servants; Barack [or Barry Soetero as he was known then] was chauffeured to the private school [SDN Menteng 01] he attended -- with little Timmy Geithner -- Timmy later lived in Beijing, and attended university in China.

Your kid's role model?
Barry later attended an exclusive Prep School in Hawaii, where he was renowned as the leader of the CHOOM GANG, smokers and purveyors of marijuana.  He made no secret of this activity, and even bragged about his exploits. 

 The Liberal Media were quite forgiving, and in fact, were almost worshipful of this behavior.

On the other hand, they condemned George W Bush for his drinking in college.

Barry's mom had no personal grasp of poverty since her family was quite well off, and the Ford Foundation compensated her with today's equivalent of a high 6-figure income, while all her expenses were paid while she lived in Indonesia.  

She had complete and comprehensive health coverage -- contrary to Mr Obama's campaign rhetoric -- so she did not die in poverty, as claimed.  The evil insurance company covered her medical costs, but denied her claim for "income lost" since that was not part of her policy.  

Mr Obama claimed the insurance company denied her claims for treatment costs.  She did die alone though, since Obama was too busy campaigning to visit her on her deathbed.

Frank Marshall Davis
Communist Organizer



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."


Davis worked with the Canter family, 
which spawned 
parents of Obama Advisor David Axelrod, 
Obama's strategist.  

According to a number of documents listed on Wikipedia -- which has since been scrubbed, the Canters had lived in Moscow and worked for the Stalin government prior to moving to Chicago.

The House Committee on Un-American Activities investigated David Canter for his pro-Communist activities and his status as a propagandist for the Soviet Union 
"...Translation World Publishers was an outlet for the distribution of Soviet propaganda ... [which] was subsidized by Soviet funds and was created by known Communists to serve the propaganda interests of the USSR."

Canter and fellow Communist propaganist/activist Don Rose (aka: Boris Rubenstein),  met and became mentors to David Axelrod, shaping his political development.

Valerie Jarrett
Davis also worked with dedicated Communist Robert Taylor, grandfather of Obama's closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett.

Davis, and his fellow Communist organizers recognized that they could not achieve political office as Communists, began penetrating and controlling lower levels of the Democratic Party during the 1950s; Davis focused on Hawaii in the 1960s and 1970s and mentored [and perhaps fathered] young Barry.  Davis' Communist rhetoric:  Anti-establishment, class/race warfare, Anti-Capitalist, Anti-business,  is essentially the theme of Obama's current campaign.

But ultimately, we tie Mr Obama's political contacts, friends, financiers, and business partners to a broad Marxist-Leninist level of influence, the center of which was post-WW2 Chicago which spawned highly influential communists such as 
these radicals:

" Students for a Democratic Society called for a "new left ... committed to deliberativeness, honesty, reflection."

the New Left seemed to place community organizing at the heart of their vision.

The SDS insisted that students "look outwards" beyond the campus "the bridge to political power" to be "built nationally, and internationally, between a New Left of young people." to stimulate "this kind of social movement, this kind of vision and program in campuses  across the country,





Isidor Feinstein (aka:I. F. Stone, or Izzy Stone) 
Both a covert member of the Communist Party USA for an unknown period of time, as well as a KGB intelligence paid "asset". While a lot was known about his pro-communist writings, especially during the Korean War, much more information on his ties to Soviet Intelligence and the CPUSA only began to become available in the 1990's and early 2000's, thanks for Freedom of Information Act requests by journalists such as Cliff Kincaid and the investigative research of John Haynes and Harvey Klehr in their pioneering work in the Soviet Archives on the Venona papers.


Eugene Lyons
Eugene Lyons (Yevgeny Natanovich Privin)
Predisposed to early support of the Russian Revolution. A "friendly correspondent," he was one of a coterie of foreign journalists permitted into the Soviet Union during the Stalinist era because their desire to serve the revolution was thought to outweigh their desire to serve the truth





Photoshopped Birth Certificate
Didn't fool the FBI
Notably we've been advised by knowledgeable folks that these associations were the main part of the reason the FBI would not recommend him for a federal security clearance when they did his SBI [special background investigation] for the US Senate.

We won't mention the issue of his questionable birth certificate, or the bogus Social Security number [from Connecticut] he lists, or the foreign passport he used to apply to US colleges -- any of which alone would have excluded him from a security clearance.





Thus, without a clearance, 0bama was barred from classified Congressional Committee meetings -- as a security risk; unfortunately, as President, he faced no such barriers since he is the ultimate classification authority.
 
Among Mr Obama's close friends and associates were some who built and exploded bombs and planned the murders of US Military personnel. 
 [These are not baseless allegations; they are on criminal record, and the perpetrators recorded it in their memoirs, and still brag about it].

SDS Poster: Revolution in the USA
They were members of the Student Peace Union or the SDS [Students for a Democratic Society], or the Weather Underground whose stated goal was the violent overthrow of the US Government and whose prominent members included Bill Ayers, an advisor to President Obama and business partner in Mr Obama's pre-political days; Bill Ayers, in his 1969 War Council, declared the need for an "armed struggle" using robberies and bombings. 

[FBI documents on the Weather Underground, previously available on the Internet, have been removed, and links to those documents no longer function. This NYT assessment captures much of their status, however.]

Several of Ayers' co-conspirators [Terry Robbins and Diana Oughton] accidentally blew themselves up constucting an IED -- to be targeted against a US soldiers at party at a Fort Dix, NJ Service Club.  



Ayers bragged in his book that he bombed the New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the US Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.

In April, 2012, he announced "I get up every morning and think 'today I'm going to end capitalism'."
When he spoke at the University of Oregon in May, 2012, he denounced the United States saying the age of "the American Empire is over."


Bernadine Dohrn's quote re Charles Manson murders
Ayers' wife, Bernardine Dohrn, refers to African Americans as a "Black Colony", developed plans to attack college graduation ceremonies, and eventually was added to the FBI's "10 Most Wanted Fugitives" list.

On August 28, 2010, Dohrn was quoted in a speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial:
"The real terrorist is the American government, state terrorism unleashed against the world."


She is currently an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University after working at the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin, LLP, which employed both Barack and Michelle Obama; she reportedly introduced the two.



This law firm reportedly was fined $7.5 million for legal malpractice.  Although the Obamas advised they had no current contact with this firm, the firm's employees donated $243,486 to his 2008 Obama campaign.  It was apparently a good investment since a number of the firm's employees were subsequently appointed to federal positions ranging from judge-ships to US attorneys, and to Cabinet Secretary positions in the Obama Administration.

Defenders of Mr Obama routinely dismiss his association with Mr Ayers and Ms Dohrn as merely a "brief and casual" acquaintance."  In fact, it has been a bit more than brief and casual, and at a minimum, very profitable [$110 Million in government grants]:
Ayers and  Dohrn on FBI's Most Wanted List

1) Ayers and his wife [Dohrn] hosted Mr Obama's political launch party in 1989.

2) In 1995, Bill Ayers organized a team which won a grant proposal to secure nearly $50 million from the Chicago Annenberg Challenge [CAC] to be used by Ayers and company to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed in 1988.




3)
Obama was named Chairman of the Board, and Ayers Co-Chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, and both worked together for the next five years on raising an additional $60 million in matching money from local foundations and corporations -- and using the money to intervene in the governance of the Chicago public schools during the Chicago School Wars.




4) Ayers and Obama shared offices at the CAC, located at 115 South Sangamon Street for five years.
[How's that for "brief and casual"]

Woods Fund Board
5) Ayers and Obama were both Board members of the Woods Fund [education reform]; Ayers later chaired the board, while
Mr Obama was a board member for five (5) years until 2002.

[More "brief and Casual"]

6) In April 2002, Ayers, Dohrn, and Obama [then an Illinois State Senator] were three of six panelists on a University of Chicago education conference.




So, for the past 20+ years, the regular association and business relationships between Mr Obama and Mr Ayers/Ms Dohrn have all been "brief and casual" -- nothing more.

Now, if Ayers and Dohrn had merely been political activists, we could accept their association with Mr Obama, but, both have declared themselves to be communists, and both have engaged in terrorist activities, to include bombing the Pentagon and the State Department, New York police stations, and planning the murders of US soldiers at Fort Dix, and, espousing the overthrow of the US Government -- as recently as 2010.


Counterfeiting Identification Documents


More linkage via Ayers comes through Elizabeth Anna Duke, who is wanted by the FBI on charges of storage and concealment of illegal explosives.

Obama's SSN was Harry Bounel's
Among other charges, "false identification documents" and "manufacture and possession of counterfeit Social Security cards" [perhaps one was the Connecticut SS card Mr Obama uses].

The Social Security Number Mr Obama uses was originally assigned to Harry Bounel,
born in 1890.



The SS Administration advises that it never reissues a previously assigned SSN, and that SSNs assigned to deceased persons are frequently used to create false identities for illegal aliens.

 Ms Duke is listed as a "teacher and philanthropist" -- and linked to the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

Let's not forget Tony Rezko who funded Obama's campaign for state senator and then cut him a sweetheart deal on a house purchase in which Rezko paid roughly half the price for Obama.  This would be during a period when Obama was, according to his campaign rhetoric, eking out a living as a Community Organizer, but he could come up with nearly $2 million for a house cash purchase.  Obama used Rezko as the intermediary to negotiate the sale of Obama's US Senate seat when Obama ran for President.



He was outed during an FBI monitoring of former governor Rod Blagojevich and ended up with a prison sentence of 126 months for fraud, money laundering, extortion, etc.

Rezko was particularly notable for his attempts to extort kickbacks from the Teachers' Retirement System -- an organization still not fully supportive of Mr Obama.

In the final political analysis, we find Mr Obama surrounded by by Marxists, Communists, terrorists, and criminals, all of which is disturbing.




We wonder why the Media has not leapt upon these issues.

But then, we examine the Media itself, which was infiltrated by Marxists and Communists during and following World War II, and we find great linkage of the Communists we've identified so far to the Media.

But, that's a whole 'nother story for another time.

AARP's ObamaCare Agenda?



Is AARP an insurance company profiteering from ObamaCare?


After the Presidential Debate on Wednesday, during which Mr Romney alluded to AARP as an insurance company lobby, Democrats leapt to defend AARP and absolutely, positively DENIED that AARP is an insurance company, and it definitely DOES NOT have a political agenda.

Today's guest column is authored by Frank Schulwolf of Miami, who describes himself:
"
I was an artist, became an art director. Then a writer. Along the way I flew for Eastern Airlines and played some tennis."



Not an insurance company
The company that sells life insurance, major medical insurance, suplemental health insurance, auto insurance, homeowners insurance, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, dental insurance, long term care insurance, mobil home insurance, motorcycle insurance, boat & personal watercraft insurance, ATV, golf cart and snowmobile insurance -- is not an insurance company.


It is a brokerage and marketing firm for insurance products.

Dr. Ethel Andrus founded AARP in 1958 to help fund insurance for retired teachers. AARP evolved from the National Retired Teachers Association (NRTA), which Andrus had established in 1947. 

---- No.  AARP is not an insurance company.

AARP was established by Leonard Davis, founder of the Colonial Penn Group insurance companies, after he met Ethel Andrus. Mr Davis controlled AARP and promoted its image as a non-profit advocate of retirees in order to sell insurance to members until the 1980s ---- No AARP is not an insurance company.

In Behind The Veil, The AARP America Doesn’t Know:
The Congressional Ways and Means Committee released some sobering information on the group that bills itself as “a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization with a membership that helps people 50-plus have independence, choice and control in ways that are beneficial and affordable to them and society as a whole.”



More than half AARP revenues come from insurance
AARP is in fact a large, complex and sophisticated organization with over $2.2 billion in total assets with of $1.4 billion in 2009 alone.

AARP has five primary revenue sources: 

1) Royalty payments (primarily from insurance companies) 
    [In 2009, AARP revenues from royalties were 2.5 times higher than its membership dues.]
2) Membership dues,
3) Publication advertising,
4) Grants (govt/non-govt).
5) Contributions/Other


Since 2002, income generated from AARP membership dues has increased 32%, or $60 million. However, during this same period, income derived from AARP’s business relationships, primarily with insurance companies, has nearly tripled, increasing by $417 million. Royalty payments from for-profit companies comprised nearly 46% of AARP’s revenue in 2009, while membership dues totaled just 17% of total revenues. 

---- No.  AARP is not an insurance company.



As a result of the new health care law, the Obama Administration estimates more than 7 million seniors will lose their current Medicare Advantage [MA]  plans, resulting in a massive migration of seniors to Medigap plans.

AARP is the nation’s leading provider of Medigap plans and has a contract in which AARP financially gains for every additional Medigap enrollee.


Based on low, mid- and high-range estimates, AARP stands to financially gain, over and above the millions of dollars they currently receive, between $55 million and $166 million in 2014 alone as a result of new Medigap enrollees stemming from the health care law’s cuts to MA, which AARP strongly endorsed.

Under the midrange estimate and under their current contract, AARP’s financial gain from the health care law could exceed $1 billion during the next 10 years since AARP will see its royalty payments increase as seniors are forced out of MA plans and to buy AARP Medigap plans instead.

Despite a massive increase in revenues, AARP’s cash and in-kind contributions to the AARP Foundation increased only 11% ($3.1 million), while cash and in-kind contributions to AARP’s Legal Counsel for the Elderly actually decreased 9% ($300,000) from 2004 to 2008 (the only years for which AARP provided data).

Meanwhile, the AARP Foundation recently committed an estimated $14 million in each of the next three years to become the primary sponsor of NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon.

The AARP Foundation received government grants totaling over $97 million -- which comprised 81.9% of the Foundation’s total revenue in 2009.




Why is AARP lobbying for gun control?
AARP is the behemoth of special interest advocacy groups with a well-earned reputation for throwing its weight around in Washington, DC.


According to the House Ways and Means Committee Report, from 1998 - 2010, AARP spent $198 million on lobbying, putting it behind the US Chamber of Commerce, the American Medical Association, and General Electric, but ahead of PhRMA (Association of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers).

---- No.  AARP is not an insurance company.

AARP had $1.565 billion in assets and revenue of $1.176 billion in 2010 (according to its IRS Form 990 tax report). The bulk of its money comes not from membership dues, but from its business agreements with insurance companies and endorsements.

---- No.  AARP is not an insurance company.

So, to sum up, while AARP poses as a disinterested senior advocate, it functions as an insurance conglomerate, with a liberal lobbying arm on the side. (e.g., it is a strong opponent of voter ID). AARP’s $458 million in health insurance revenue in 2011 would rank it as the nation’s sixth most profitable health insurer. ---- No AARP is not an insurance company.


AARP's $28 Billion windfall from ObamaCare hurts seniors
AARP wins when seniors lose.
Because AARP receives a “royalty fee” of 4.95 percent of every premium dollar paid by seniors buying Medigap insurance from the organization, AARP earns more profit when seniors pay more in premiums. Even former AARP executives admit that the billions of dollars raised from these business enterprises have compromised the organization’s mission and independence.


AARP’s policy positions coincide with its financial interests. While AARP lobbied heavily for "Obamacare", it also engaged in a secret lobbying campaign to block Medigap reforms last year that by one estimate would have saved nearly 80 percent of seniors an average of $415 per year – but would have cost AARP billions of dollars in profits.





AARP knows it can protect its financial interests by aligning with Democrats, no matter what its members think. 

That’s one reason why AARP endorsed “Obamacare” -- although the AARP’s call response logs indicate opponents outnumbered supporters by more than 50 to 1.



Consider these comments from a senior AARP executive who wrote the White House in November 2009:
“we will try to keep a little space between us” on health care – because AARP’s “polling shows we are more influential when we are seen as independent, so we want to reinforce that positioning….The larger issue is how best to serve the cause.”

“The cause” in this case is liberalism, the Obama agenda and “Obamacare” in particular.

The Obama administration has reciprocated AARP’s support by giving the group preferential treatment. 



“Obamacare” exempted Medigap insurance – a market AARP dominates – from virtually all its new mandates, including the ban on preexisting condition discrimination. 

The Department of Health and Human Services exempted Medigap plans from insurance rate review, though AARP, whose plan is the most popular form of Medigap coverage, makes more in profit the higher premiums rise. 

Though the administration has publicly attacked other insurance companies with much smaller profit margins, it has not openly criticized AARP’s business practices.


There is very little one can conjure that is more despicable than claiming to protect a person or persons, collecting remuneration for doing so, while at the same time working to undercut their best interests. 

In principle they differ not from our country’s poverty pimps who make their living by securing a permanent underclass.

Is “AARP is not an insurance company”, a metaphysical fact or a psychological fantasy?

Obama's Intelligence Brief


President's Morning Brief                      [Paul J Richards/AFP/Getty]

Click here for related story [Wash Post: Marc Thiessen]

The Washington Post, along with much of the Liberal Media, dismisses the fact that the President of the United States has missed nearly 60 per cent of his morning intelligence briefings.  But, the Media counters with the response that he actually read the print version of that brief, sometimes.

Expendable Ambassador
A "Bump in the Road"?
Interestingly, the morning following the assault on the Benghazi US Consulate, resulting in the deaths of the US Ambassador and three other US citizens [and at least one Marine not yet identified as a casualty], Mr Obama again ignored the morning brief and headed out for more campaigning.

He stated that this assault and death of a US Ambassador was merely a "bump in the road", nothing to be concerned about -- unless you work in a US embassy.



So, what's the big difference between sitting in on the morning brief vs simply reading the hard copy report. 

Short answer: Watching the movie Titanic vs reading the Cliff Notes.

Long answer: 
Since we have considerable experience in this briefing process, from gathering the information, to analyzing it, to preparing and delivering the Morning Brief, we'll share what the big deal is.


Will the Chinese Attack Pearl Harbor or Chicago?
The Morning Brief consumes a major effort throughout the US Intelligence Community.  Its purpose is to prepare the President and his decision-makers for the life and death contingencies he/they may have to face during the course of the day.


More goes into this morning report than goes into the morning edition of the New York Times or the Washington Post since thousands of analysts filter through millions of pages of field reporting by spooks, embassy officers of every specialty, Ambassadors' assessments, analyses by CIA Station Chiefs [COS] and Military Attaches [DATT], resident FBI and Treasury agents, and even Department of Commerce Commercial Attaches reporting on business trends [e.g., oil contracts]. 


HUMINT


Added to these Human Intelligence [HUMINT] reports and analyses are the National Security Agency's [NSA] Signals and Communications Intelligence [SIGINT/COMINT] reports of telephone and other communications intercepts of every relevant communication in the world.





SIGINT      [FAS]
Now, add to the HUMINT and SIGINT material all the relevant overhead [i.e., satellite/reconnaissance planes/drones] imagery [IMINT] taken of critical locations and facilities [e.g., nuclear facilities in Iran, Israeli nuclear weapons sites, terrorist training camps, Chinese military facilities, etc.] all of which is impressive stuff [you can read the name tags on a soldier's uniform].



Millions of News Stories
Finally, there is a compilation of open source news reports from every country in the world, with highlights of trends and potential internal and international flare-ups from military, economic, financial, ethnic, or other sources of irritation.

That's a lot of material to edit into a morning brief lasting roughly an hour, complete with visuals.




Jim Clapper:  DNI


Now, all those millions of pages of data are compressed into the President's Daily Brief [PDB], accompanied by the paper copy called the NID [National Intelligence Daily], formerly produced by the Director of Central Intelligence, but now under the thumb of the Director of National Intelligence [James Clapper].

This is all contained in a binder of about 30 pages, each with three to five paragraphs - plus images.



President's Daily Brief
The PDB contains both unclassified information as well as that classified well beyond Top Secret -- known as "Codeword", and abbreviated as TSC.

The "C" also stands for "Compartmented" which means that only a limited number of persons are authorized to have access to the material -- so not all the Cabinet Officers are privy to the contents; usually, just the President, the SecState, the SecDef, and the National Security Advisor.  On occasion, portions of PDB are EYES ONLY for the President.

Intelligence Community


Intelligence Community staffs screen all this information, compile it, edit it, and feed it into a central intelligence staff which refines it into the material suitable for PDB and reduced in hard copy form to the NID.  Separately, key items are highlighted for the oral brief which takes critical information essential to the President and the Cabinet for their decision-making process on issues of strategic importance.





So, the PDB oral version consists of a senior intelligence officer presenting the brief at a podium where he/she can control the visuals during the brief, to include highlights in Power Point, along with key imagery blown up to wall-sized pictures, with subsequent blow-ups to show minute detail.

Multi-media briefing -- Better than the book
For each segment of the brief, there are senior briefing officers fluent in the content and capable of elaborating and/or discussing the strategic impact of the event under review.  These officers are backed up by subject matter experts on call to discuss even the most minute detail of interest to the President or Cabinet Officer.

Thus, the value of the PDB is to educate the President on every major event in the world which may impact the US or its allies.  Because it is delivered orally, it affords the President the opportunity to grasp the importance of an event, and to receive input from his advisors, so that, should a strategic decision be necessary, he will have the background from which to decide, or at the very least, know how to ask an intelligent question to obtain the information he needs. the NID

Browsing, or even perusing the NID, will not provide the President the knowledge he needs as the Commander-in-Chief, particularly if he is more interested in the next campaign speech he will give.

The failure of a President to employ the most effective tool at his disposal 
to conduct the affairs of State is inexcusable.
