The Canada Free Press has an article that suggests (with merit) that Barack H Obama is well trained in the Marxist ideas (or variations there of) by ways of his mentor Frank Marshall Davis and his "hero" Saul Alinsky.

Lots of references to show how the American middle class has been beaten into submission by this "sinister" plot !

Apparently Obama wrote a chapter in a book that highlighted Alinsky's community organizing ideas.

Obama also taught a class at the University of Chicago about Alinsky's “Power Analysis” methods (Obama was an instructor at the college, not a professor).

Read and see how this all ties in to the dreaded Cloward-Piven economic strategy from the 1960's.

Quite revealing and perhaps this theory sheds some light on the current situations.



Barack Obama is desperate to make people believe that he really cares about “the middle class.” After four years, his actions speak louder than words. Some 85% of the middle class say they are worse off today than they were ten years ago. According to the Wall Street Journal, from the time Obama took office in 2009, “The Obama years have been brutal on middle-class incomes” wiping out “$4019 in real income” for families. The report goes on to say, “The last time incomes fell this fast was during the late 1970s under Jimmy Carter, and it’s no coincidence that economic policies then and now are so similar. If Mr. Obama succeeds in convincing voters that he really is the tribune of the middle class, it will be the political conjurer’s trick of the century.”

The financial loss and burden imposed by Obama will be greater on all workers, including Black, Hispanic, Asian and White, when looming tax hikes go into effect January 2013 along with Obamacare’s vast array of hidden taxes set to further rip family budgets apart. The question is—why has the middle class been hit so hard by Obama? Is it an ideological grudge?

Obama had two doggedly radical mentors that shaped both his ideology and his current policies. One was a committed hardcore Communist and the other was renowned as a hardcore Socialist. Neither man stressed American values, but taught the opposite—that America with its free enterprise, republic based, God-worshipping system is the enemy of the people. Frank Marshall Davis, a reported pedophile, race mongerer and strident Communist, was Obama’s family friend and was recruited by Obama’s grandfather to educate young Barry in the ways of the world. It was, however, Obama’s educational mentor, that stressed that if “real power” is to be gained, it must be done at the expense of the American people and the economy.............................

Obama taught “Destroy Middle Class”

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history… the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”[ From the dedication page of Rules for Radicals]

“Radicals must be resilient, adaptable to shifting political circumstances, and sensitive enough to the process of action and reaction to avoid being trapped by their own tactics and forced to travel a road not of their choosing.”

“Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.”...............

Saul Alinsky strategy was taught by Obama as a ‘community organizer’
 


"Cloward Piven Strategy"
 



Liberals self-righteously wrap themselves in the mantle of public spirit. They ardently promote policies promising to deliver the poor and oppressed from their latest misery — policies which can only find solution in the halls of government. But no matter what issue one examines, over the last fifty plus years, the liberal prescription has almost always been a failure.

Why is this so? Why does virtually every liberal scheme result in ever-increasing public spending while conditions seem to get continually worse? There are a number of reasons:


1. The programs usually create adverse incentives. This is especially true in so-called “anti-poverty” programs. The beneficiaries find government subsidies a replacement for, rather than a supplement to, gainful employment and eventually become incapable of supporting themselves. This in turn creates a dependent culture with its attendant toxic behaviors which demand still more government “remedies.”

2. The programs create their own industry, complete with scads of “think tanks” and “experts” who survive on government research grants. These are the aptly named “Beltway Bandits.”

3. They create their own bureaucracies, whose managers conspire with interested members of Congress to continually increase program funding, regardless of merit.

4. Members of Congress secure votes and campaign donations by extorting them from beneficiaries of such programs, either through veiled threats — “vote for me or those mean Republicans will wipe out your benefits” — or promises of still more bennies.


In short, all develop a vested interest in the program’s survival. But if the result is always more and more government, of government, by government, and for government, with no solution in sight, then why do liberals always see government as the solution rather than the problem? ................

6 page article about Frank Marshall Davis:

Meet the hard-core Communist who mentored the future 44th President of the United States

LET’S CUT TO THE CHASE: Frank Marshall Davis was a literal, card-carrying member of Communist Party USA (CPUSA). His card number was 47544. He was pro-Soviet, pro–Red China. He edited and wrote for Party-line publications such as the Chicago Star and the Honolulu Record; contributors to the former actually served as secret agents to Stalin’s Soviet Union. Davis did outrageous Soviet propaganda work in his columns, at every juncture agitating and opposing U.S. attempts to slow Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung. He favored Yalta and Red Army takeovers of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Central and Eastern Europe. He urged America to dump the “fascist” Chiang Kaishek in support of Mao’s Red forces. He wanted Communist takeovers in Korea and Vietnam. He was adamantly, angrily anti-NATO, anti–Marshall Plan, anti–Truman Doctrine. He argued that the U.S. under President Harry Truman—whom he portrayed as a fascist, racist, and imperialist—and under secretaries of state George Marshall and Dean Acheson, was handing West Germany back to the Nazis, while Stalin was pursuing “democracy” in East Germany and throughout the Communist Bloc. He portrayed America’s leaders as “aching for an excuse to launch a nuclear nightmare of mass murder and extermination” against the Soviets and the Chinese— as eager to end all civilization.

In short, Frank Marshall Davis’ writings were outrageous. A Jeremiah Wright sermon or Bill Ayers lecture is tame by comparison..................

From 1992 when Barak was in his 30's?


"What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?"

It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, "It sounds like you know something we don't know."

"Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call "Ivy League". You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your President."


The first time I heard of Obama

I found this article interesting. Apparently Barak was Trained from his Youth to bring Communism to America.

This is true which "the training of Obama" was rather complete. Every single policy has the reverse effect of all those grand ideals we hear so much about.

Save the middle class!
Grow the middle class!

Overwhelm the system!

The anti thesis of the Obama ideology and his party does not create a class of people who does not need the government to survive.

Bigger government,more taxes,more regulations do more to destroy the middle class than anything I can think of.

Overwhelm the system to destroy them under the pretense the government is here to save you.

Obama has been a total failure as Potus, but he has been a total success of delievering the communist manifesto to the American public, too many will dismiss that, but the current state of the union says otherwise.

Social Security,,medicare,medicaid,the care act, student loan trillion dollar debt have all increase for the past 4 years.

Power at any cost!

I don't get it.

If Obama is supposed to be this radical marxist-socialist-communist whatever, why hasn't he done anything about it in almost 4 years of presidency? Where is the slow-steady red march bloggers have been harping about since '08? If Obama truly was a Socialist he would have my vote locked down, but from what I can see he's just another Keynesian Capitalist like every other president.


You guys would have much better luck picking apart Obama's actual policies, rather than trying to invent a fake platform to attack him on.

It seems InfoWars had a warning article waaayyyy back in March 2009.

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
March 10, 2009

On March 9, Brannon Howse of Worldview Radio interviewed author James Simpson. Entitled “Barack Obama is Destroying Our Economy on Purpose,” Howse’s interview of Simpson concentrated on Columbia University professors Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven who wrote an article in 1966 for The Nation magazine. “The article was published on May 2, 1966 and laid out what is now known as the ‘Cloward-Piven Strategy’. The plan calls for the destruction of capitalism in America by swelling the welfare rolls to the point of collapsing our economy and then implementing socialism by nationalizing many private institutions,” explains a synopsis on the Worldview Radio website. “Cloward and Piven studied Saul Alinsky just like Hillary Clinton and President Obama.”

Alinsky is considered to be the founder of modern community organizing in America. Alinsky’s teachings influenced Obama early in his career as a community organizer on the far South Side of Chicago. Obama worked for Gerald Kellman’s Developing Communities Project where he learned and taught Alinsky’s methods for community organizing. Obama would later work for ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now..............

That's where he has everybody (most everybody) fooled.

They have made the variations "invisible" to some.

At the same time however, very obvious to many others.

This is NOT "Classroom" economics.

The plan goes back 100 years.

As I posted in another thread (which got removed by the admins of course), my boss thinks Obama is a communist. My boss is a former citizen of communist Russia. He's also a registered Democrat. He said that Obama's policies are just like the old policies from the communist era in Russia. I see no reason not to believe him.

Oh yes, I'm sure it's only the lock step Obamatrons that don' have an agenda right? Conspiracies are only legitimate when they don't involved "The One".

Cripes you people scare me. You're the modern embodiment of the people who followed Stalin straight to the work camps and then STILL didn't blame Stalin.

Obama is inot a communist! Do you people even have any concept of what communism is? He and Romney are both fascists, not socialists. Both want more government control, more "security" and more capitalism. Actual communism doesn't even have a government.

You had better not say that he is a communist to loud it is bound to get him a lot more votes from people who hate this capitalist nightmare economy him and his predecessor created!

I have some European friends who laugh out loud when I tell them these myths and let me know what real communists and socialists would do!

If he wins the election, it's the next 4 years I'm worried about. God help us all.

I'd say they are more Corporatists, actually.

Also edited to add:

Be it Bush or Obama or Reagan or whomever, the handlers of the President and the mega-corporations and "too big to fail" banks are the real benefactors of all this. We talk about Communist Obama, etc. No, you are thinking far too short-sighted. Then handlers can't profit and control with a free society, and they certainly can't get away with all their actions without fiat currency.

You really have to think 4-5 steps ahead instead of watching just for the one coming. Believe me, THEY are.

Pres Douchebag and Pres. Turd Sandwich, both unsuitable for Presidency but they are the only two you'll hear about unless we (the People) do something drastic and soon. This is our CATALYST. Make use of it!

Probably if you really get down to it what's growing in the US is some weird Oligarchy that has both corporate/capitalist over tones but with social-marxism thrown in for the lower economic levels.

I am concerned about all the "new taxes" that are supposed to hit on 1/1/13.....if he is re-elected, (or even if romney wins but can't get Obama Care repealed) I am sure it will probably hit me in the pocket book, and alot of america may just go...uh oh....what happened.

Obama's not the only one. George Romney was very impressed by Saul Alinsky, and the two joined forces to accomplish their shared political goals. No doubt Mitt was also taught (indoctrinated into) the Alinsky Rules for Radicals from a young age, and it shows in how he treated Ron Paul and his supporters, creating dissension and tension within the party. So whatever importance one places on the Alinsky connection for Obama, it's equally true for Romney. There's a good reason so many of us believe there is no difference between Obama and Romney, and why we refuse to accept the agenda being rammed through.

I'm not sure how to post links, but it's easy enough to Google. I believe I first read it on Buzzfeed, and I've seen a youtube video also.

Valerie Jarrett’s Father In Law Reveals Start Of Arab Purchase Of Us Presidency

______beforeitsnews/opinion-conservative/2012/09/valerie-jarretts-father-in-law-reveals-start-of-arab-purchase-of-us-presidency-2490330.html


You would think that a program to spend “$20 million per year for 10 years to aid 10,000 minority students each year, including blacks, Arabs, Hispanics, Asians and native Americans” would be referred to somewhere other than one obscure 1979 column, but I haven’t found any other word of it.

Maybe the funding materialized, maybe it didn’t, but what’s particularly noteworthy is that this black Islamic lawyer who “for several years [had] urged the rich Arab kingdoms to cultivate stronger ties to America’s blacks by supporting black businesses and black colleges and giving financial help to disadvantaged students” was also the same lawyer who allegedly helped arrange for the entrance of Barack Obama into Harvard Law School in 1988.

That tale had surfaced in 2008 when Barack Obama was a candidate for president and one of the leading black politicians in the country — Percy Sutton of New York — told an interviewer on a Manhattan TV news show that he had been introduced to Obama “by a friend who was raising money for him. The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas. He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”

______beforeitsnews/obama-birthplace-controversy/2012/09/vernon-jarrett-will-arabs-back-ties-to-blacks-with-cash-november-6-1979-article-st-peter sburg-evening-independent-dr-khalid-al-mansour-percy-sutton-corroboration-2446026.html


It also might be considered more than coincidence that the author of that 1979 newspaper column was from Chicago, where Barack Obama settled in 1986 a few years after his stint at Columbia University. It is certainly surprising that the author of that column was none other than Vernon Jarrett, the future (and later former) father-in-law of Valerie Jarrett, who ultimately became the consigliatore of the Obama White House.

It is also noteworthy that Vernon Jarrett was one of the best friends and a colleague of Frank Marshall Davis, the former Chicago journalist and lifelong communist who moved to Hawaii in the late 1940s and years later befriended Stanley and Madelyn Dunham and their daughter Stanley Ann, the mother of Barack Obama. (4)

And to anyone who has the modicum of a spark of curiosity, it is surely intriguing that Frank Davis took an active role in the rearing of young Barack from the age of 10 until he turned 18 and left Hawaii for his first year of college at Occidental College in Los Angeles. (5)

It is also at least suggestive that Obama began that college education as a member of the highly international student body of Occidental College in 1979, the same year when Vernon Jarrett was touting the college aid program being funded by OPEC and possibly Prince Alwaleed. The fact that President Obama has studiously avoided releasing records of his college years is suggestive also, but has no evidentiary value in the present discussion. (6)
