In an interview before the Republican National Convention, Niger Innis, the spokesman for the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) expounded that “It was clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.” He went on to say that “as a black American, he was exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” Innis expanded his perception by averring that “. . . to deny that he [Obama] has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kinds of questions, and he has to come up with the answers, hopefully they will be the truth.”
In conformity with this admonition, it is only prudent to acknowledge that the uncertainties that surround the democratic nominee for president must be brought to bear. As it is in the best interest of the public that. In the last 19 months, or so, that Obama has been involved in the bid for the United States Presidency, there have been many doubts expressed about Obama’s character and personal history. In some instances Obama has chosen to circumvent his obligations to provide specific answers that are defined by the certitude the American populace deserves. In other cases, he has chosen to simply ignore what has been asked of him. In light of his ambiguity, the only choice remaining for voters is to conceive what is likely to have transpired. His refusal to submit to the regulations encompassed in the requirements for presidential candidates is an insult to voters and to the United States Constitution.
There is something to be said about the aloofness surrounding Barack Obama. It’s not a pleasant thought; however, Obama’s misrepresentations and lack of transparency on numerous concerns surrounding his personal history, including his relationship with Bill Ayers, his lying about the extent of his relationship with Rezko, by not making his thesis public, by not making his State Senate papers public, by not making his medical records public, by not making his State Senate schedule public, by not making his Occidental records public, by not making his Columbia records public, by not making his Harvard records public, by never publishing his articles while he was the editor of the Harvard Law Review, by never publishing his scholarly articles while at University of Chicago, by not making his law client list public, by not making any of his life associates and friends public, by resisting the call for the release of the Annenberg papers, and by precluding other transparencies while instructing people he associated to remain silent, and especially his refusal to present an original certificate of birth leave the public as though they are being hoodwinked. Most importantly, his lack of clarity about his ties to Middle Eastern interests has led some people to believe he is a ringer for the White House; accordingly his radical associations suggest that it is his intention to undermine the United States government, in favor of a less autonomous form of government. This mind-set is not just inherent skepticism; it is a genuine fear to some that Obama has been groomed for the presidency, by interests that are not beneficial to Americans.
Correspondingly, Obama also imparts the feeling that he has been planning a bid for the presidency since his being a community organizer. It’s decidedly apparent that his affiliation with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is not just happenstance. It’s evident that the experience he gained from “Project Vote” would serve him in running a political campaign at some point in the future. In addition his contact with and support for less fortunate people have made him out to be a hero championed by those people. His rise in stature in the eyes of the poor can be equated through his representation of ACORN, as part of a team of attorneys in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois for failing to implement a federal law designed to make it easier for the poor and others to register as voters. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with these involvements, in fact they appear philanthropic; however, it also reveals the basic tenets necessary for a surreptitious strategy that could lead to “socialist construction” in a free market society. By rallying the poor through the pretense that they are being exploited by the rich, Obama and his friends have created a voting base that helped him to gain his seat in the Illinois State Legislature. It s that same strategy and base, he used to get elected to the U.S. Senate, and the exact same one he is using in his bid for the presidency.
It’s uncanny that all the ducks on the Obama pond are in such a straight line, and are so squeaky clean; what is unsettling, is that his public image appears painstaking arranged. There is something illogical about a person spending so much time and money obtaining a Columbia education, and then immediately pursuing a life as a community organizer. The idea that someone who grew up dirt poor would immediately become a philanthropist after obtaining higher education just doesn’t add up. The only plausible explanation is that Barack Obama had some sort of an ulterior motive. It leads one to believe that his involvement in A.C.O.R.N. was nothing more than a vehicle to shuttle him along the route to national celebrity. Likewise, his many years of education are only a mechanism for propping up his over all agenda. It’s no coincidence he has chosen a curriculum steeped in the art of twisting the truth and the law.
Moving on, we see that among the many radicals Obama has been tied to since before his political career is the very dubious Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, formerly known as Don Warden. He is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, and an educator. His worldly resume reads as though he should be running for the presidency. He sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co, which was formed to do business in Africa, the non-profit African Leadership Academy, Africa Venture Partners Saudi African Bank, Multimedia Super Corridor (Malaysia), Space Tech Inc., AmNet Corp. International, New Avenues Fund Ltd, United Bank for Africa, United Networks, and Landmark Entertainment, He is also an internationally acknowledged advisor to Heads of State and business leaders in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North America and a representative of OPEC. He has been actively involved in structuring investments and joint ventures worldwide for over 35 years. Dr. Al-Mansour was also responsible for the Africa investment activities of Kingdom Holdings, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s Investment Company. He has also represented the Saudi Arabian interests of King Abdullah, Prince Alwaleed, Abdul Aziz, and Khalid al-Ibrahim. During his career, Dr. Al-Mansour has been a guest lecturer at Harvard University, Bombay University, Columbia University, UCLA, University of Kenya, London School of Economics and the University of Ghana. He is also listed in the Who’s Who in the World; the International Who’s Who in the Arab World, the Two Thousand Men of Achievement, the Royal Blue Book of London, and the World’s Who’s Who of Intellectuals and American Hall of Fame. Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Howard University (Phi Beta Kappa) and Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of California at Berkeley.
Indeed, Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour has a pretty impressive resume. And it is understandable that most of these labels are inconsequential as far as radicalism is concerned; but they are indicative of the influence and power that a man like Khalid al-Mansour can have over the people that surround him. Khalid al-Mansour’s far-reaching ideology is exhibited in the most impressionable years of life through his ties to the Black Panthers. “The Social Activism Sound Recording Project” has identified Khalid al-Mansour, A.K.A Don Warden, as the mentor of Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, co-founders of the Black Panthers. Huey Newton and Bobby Seale were also former members of the Revolutionary Action Movement. The same Revolutionary Action Movement, whose members were charged with conspiring to destroy the Statue of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the Washington Monument through the use of explosives. Such radical groups follow the basic tenets of “Maoism,” which is essentially a revolutionary struggle of the people for the purpose of promoting socialistic goals. Although the Black Panthers started out as an organization to promote Black Power and self-defense, they evolved into a militant organization that promoted socialist ideas. During their existence, various police organizations claim the Black Panthers were responsible for the deaths of at least 15 law enforcement officers and the injuries of dozens more. Although Khalid al-Mansour was not directly implicated in any acts of violence, the doctrinaire of radical ideas can be seen in the actions of the extremist faction; the potential influence he has upon people is made unmistakable.
What is more evident of Khalid al-Mansour’s radicalism is the principles outlined in his writings and articulations; they are littered with Muslim themes illustrating anti-American propaganda, outspoken effronteries against Israel, and anti-Semitic theories. On video he has advocated that white Americans should cut off the ears and noses, or whatever it takes to eliminate people of the Jewish faith. According to personal statements made at a New York City book signing, it is Khalid al-Mansour’s belief that the United States of America has committed genocide against persons of African dissent, and that America has future intentions “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value, or benefit to the American society.” Granted, there is no doubting that slavery has existed in the past, but dark skinned people are not the only people to ever have been enslaved, as evidenced amongst the Germanic tribes and the Roman Republic-Empire; and there is also evidence that opposing tribes of the African continent have sold their enemies into slavery as well. Moreover, it is a safer bet to believe the reasoning for Khalid al-Mansour’s conspiracy theory surrounding genocide is merely subterfuge in order to inspire hate, thereby perpetuating the Maoist schema. Given this knowledge, it is not far fetched to surmise that there is a good chance that Khalid al-Mansour is not only a radical figure, but he has an unstable personality as well. It is frightening to think that he might hold influence over Barack Obama.
One example of Khalid al-Mansour’s sway is that in 1995 he was able to arrange a social gathering for the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House with the ostracized pop star Michael Jackson in attendance. If Khalid al-Mansour had the ability to wield enough power over Bill Clinton to entertain at the White House, what else is this guy capable of? Still, the real $64,000 question is why was Khalid al-Mansour, reportedly, sought out by Bill Ayers to procure funding for Barack Obama’s Harvard education? The fact that Khalid al-Mansour funded Obama’s education is evidenced in an interview with Percy Sutton on the news channel, “New York One;” Percy Sutton was a former lawyer for Malcolm X, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, former borough president of Manhattan, and a frequent speaker at Harvard University functions. Percy Sutton was a former business associate of Khalid al-Mansour; Khalid al-Mansour contacted Sutton for the purpose of writing a letter of recommendation for Obama to secure Obama’s admission to Harvard University, in the process it was revealed that Khalid al-Mansour had secured an undisclosed source for financing Obama’s tuition. It is thought that the Saudi Arabian interests of Khalid al-Mansour are responsible for sponsoring Obama’s tuition money. The unknown quotient is what Khalid al-Mansour and his benefactors will required in return for helping Obama to attend such a prestigious institution. In the same instance, the public is still in the dark concerning so of the major financial contributions to the Obama campaign; the donors are required to be disclosed, as the public has a right to know.
Paralleling the radicalism of the Black Panthers is a group led by William Ayers known as the weathermen. Granted, Ayers is not as well connected as Khalid al-Mansour, but he is equally as radical, if not more so. Along with Bernardine Dohrn, the group is most famous for a campaign consisting of bombings, jailbreaks, and riots, from 1969 through the middle 1970s. The “Days of Rage“, the group’s first public demonstration on October 8, 1969, was a riot in Chicago coordinated with the trial of the Chicago Eight. In 1970 the group issued a “Declaration of a State of War” against the United States government, under the name “Weather Underground Organization”
In any case, the ideologies practiced by Khalid al-Mansour, Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, and other left wing radical community leaders that Obama has been tied to, need to be called into question. In writing his book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,” Obama alludes to the fact that while in high school he purposely chose a Communist Party USA member as his socio-political counselor and while in college he purposely sought out Marxist professors; also, while in college he spent a great deal of time studying the “Communist Manifesto of Neocolonial-ism,” authored by the infamous Frantz Fanon, who champions violence. He also mentions that, while at the University of Columbia, he neglected his studies to go to Cooper Union symposiums that had socialist themes. Given this knowledge, it’s not hard to identify that Obama had socialistic tendencies long before he met the likes of Khalid al-Mansour and William Ayers.
Commensurately, in his book, “Dreams from My Father,” Obama tells us that, “It was into my father’s image . . . that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself.” He goes on to say, “I did feel that there was something to prove . . . to my father” in his efforts at political organizing. All one needs to do is read the senior thesis, “Problems Facing Our Socialism,” of Barak H. Obama Sr, to grasp the ideology that has been instilled in Barack Obama Jr. Some of the ideologies allowed for in Barak H. Obama Sr.’s senior thesis from UCLA are the nationalization and outright confiscation of foreign owned enterprises, the abolishment of free enterprise, the redistribution of wealth, price regulations for those businesses tied to the service industry, and 100% taxation of income as long as the people get benefits from the government. If that is not a radical approach to socialism then what is? More importantly, is the effect that ideology had on the young Obama. Off topic, but relevant is another mystery; why has Obama chosen to spell his name different from his father and why has he changed his name so many times? What is it that he is hiding from?
Further, his associations with leaders from organizations like the Black Panthers and the Weather Underground who focused on socialistic ideas, masked as actions of self-defense, indicate his support for a socialistic society. There is no doubting that the ideologies espoused by these militant groups border on the communistic theories outlined in Friedrich Engels’ “Principles of Communism.” The Black Panther’s Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, and Don Warden [a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour], and The Weatherman’s Bill Ayers, relied heavily on the works of Karl Marx, Lenin, and Mao to obtain information for coordinating their efforts as insurgent activists. Intentionally working toward a national insurrection, they considered themselves front line factions, “committed to organizing support for socialist revolutions.”
Obama’s interest in the “Communist Manifesto of Neocolonialism” authored by Frantz Fanon is not a fleeting ideology; his desire to rule and restructure our economy in socialistic ways is imbedded in his conscious and day to day actions, and his associations with leaders of radical organizations. Although he claims to be for unity, his driving a wedge between the populace in order to attract voters belies his real agenda.
The effect of the “Communist Manifesto of Neocolonialism” can be seen in Obama’s campaign, in the concept of using the “lumpenproletariat” as a base for his national debut. “Lumpenproletariat” is of German etymology and refers to the raggedy proletariat, or those who live on the fringes of life including criminals, ruffians and those who choose not to be employed, it is a term first defined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in “The German Ideology”. “The German Ideology,” written by Marx and Engels, is a restatement of their theories of history. In any case, Khalid al-Mansour and the Black Panthers did not fully agree with Karl Marx’s analysis of the so-called lumpenproletariat. Marx thought that this class lacked the political consciousness required to lead a revolution. Huey Newton, on the other hand, was inspired by his reading of post-colonial theorist Frantz Fanon and his belief that the lumpen was of utmost importance. Newton said about these “brothers off the block” that, “If you didn’t relate to these cats, the power structure would organize these cats against you.” Obama takes this to heart and utilizes it by blaming McCain and the Republican Party.
In light of his lack of transparency, his campaign tactics, his known associations, his corrupt campaign financing, his association with ACORN and their monkeyshines, his support and acquiescence of for his father’s ideology, and his voting record, or lack thereof, voters need to seriously consider why they are willing to elect Obama for the highest office in the land.
