IS OBAMA’S CIRCLE FULL OF MARXISTS?

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

It has already been established that Frank Marshall Davis, Obama’s friend and mentor, was a Communist Party U.S.A. member. And if we abide by the saying “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are,” it seems that Obama does surround himself with people who are extreme socialists – i.e.: communists – out to penalize the rich class by raising their taxes, increasing government, nationalizing banks, as one condition of their bail-out, socializing medicine, basically turning our capitalistic democracy into a socialist – even possibly communist – one.

Not only does Obama listen to them (Marxists) but he also hires them to work on his campaign. Obama’s official campaign blogger, Sam Graham-Felsen, is a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint. Here is an excerpt of one of his articles in the Socialist Viewpoint.

“The capitalist ruling class of the United States exercises a virtual dictatorship not only over American society, but also over the entire world. This capitalist class rule is the basic cause of the poverty, wars and the degradation of the natural environment.

After being expelled from Socialist Action in 1999, we formed Socialist Workers Organization in an attempt to carry on the project of building a nucleus of a revolutionary party true to the historic teachings and program of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. “

Sam Graham-Felsen is also an ardent admirer of Noam Chomsky, a self-declared “libertarian socialist.” Graham-Felsen wrote in the Harvard Crimson:

“For me, hearing Chomsky speak for the first time was a life-changing experience. His ability to take preconceptions and destroy them-to completely remodel one’s understanding of reality with cold, hard facts-blew me away. When I left what was then the ARCO Forum last fall, I felt as though I had been through the Matrix and back. Chomsky really has this effect because he bombards you with evidence and logic, not empty rhetoric. It is nearly impossible to hear him or read him-once you’ve actually checked his facts yourself (he even cites page numbers in public addresses)-and deny what he’s saying.”

In actuality, Chomsky “is not concerned with ‘facts’ as he fabricates them with abandon.”
Sam Graham-Felsen contributed to “Marxist publications that openly calls for revolution against the American government.” The fact that Mr. Graham-Felsen has been chosen by Obama to run the on-line portion of his campaign sends chills down your spine and gives you a view of Obama’s character, especially because he does surround himself with the likes of Mr. Graham-Felsen. What are we to believe? That he doesn’t share the Marxist’s view of his close circle?

IS OBAMA A TRUE DEMOCRAT OR A MARXIST MOLE?

Monday, July 28th, 2008

In Obama’s biography “Dreams From My Father,” you will find a name, “Frank,” referred to as a poet. Who is this Frank? We know Obama developed a close relationship, during his eight years stay in Hawaii, with this poet who counseled him and advised him on his career path. This “Frank” is none other than Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the CPUSA (Communist Party of the USA) during the middle of WWII, and accused by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) of “involvement in several communist-front organizations.

One should not let this association slide by but rather start wondering how Obama raised up from nowhere to become the Democratic Party frontrunner. Let’s remember that “the CPUSA had tens of thousands of members, some of whom penetrated the U.S. Government, [and] who received subsidies from the old Soviet Union.”

Besides Frank M. Davis, Professor Gerald Horne - contributor editor of the Communist Party journal Political Affairs – talked about Davis-Obama relationship during a Communist Party reception “last March at the Tamiment Library, at New York University [stating that Davis became Obama’s mentor,] influencing […] his career moves.”

When Obama became “community organizer” in Chicago, he came in contact with the “Democratic Socialists of America, which maintains close ties to European socialist groups and parties through the Socialist International (SI), and two former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), William Ayers and Carl Davidson.” Ayers is a now “a college professor and served with Obama on the Committee of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism (CCDS), an offshoot of the old Moscow-controlled CPUSA, and helped organize the 2002 rally where Obama came out against the Iraq War.”

While several blacks left the CPUSA, there is no record to prove whether Davis left the party or not. One thing is sure, Davis seemed to have remained “as radical as ever reminding Obama, when he left for college, that it will only be ‘An advanced degree in compromise’ and warned Obama not to forget his ‘people’ and not to ‘start believing what they tell you about equal opportunity and the American way and all that shit.’”

There is little doubt that Obama is a socialist. Just check his personal and political track record. And it goes back to 1996 when he got the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) backing him for the state senate seat. He campaigned for openly socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who in turn recognized him as “one of the great leaders of the United States Senate,” ‘even though Obama had only been in the body for about two years.’ In 2007, the National Journal [lauded] Obama as “the most liberal Senator.” Did it mean more socialist?

DSA is the largest socialist organization in the U.S. and the principal affiliate of the U.S. SI, which “has a “consultative status” with the United Nations. This connection is extremely important because of the Obama bill, “The Global Poverty Act,” that has been presented to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The gist of it is a request for additional hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign aid to the rest of the world. It sure looks like a grand philanthropic gesture, but the truth is far from it. Let’s dig further and see where the socialist arm is developing tentacles to spread out at the expense of the American people.

We must never give in to our instant fear of unemployment, gas prices, foreclosure, in one word, our economic turmoil and allow socialists to move in and surreptitiously change our great country into a communist one. What made the United States of America the greatest and strongest state in the world is our economic strength, our willingness to self-sacrifice for our country, not only military speaking but also economically. Remember, “Unity makes Power.” Remember how we all united during and after WWII to make our country the “Great and Beautiful,” a role model for the rest of the world. So must we get ready and do the same today and prevent any foreign ideology – the socialist Marxist leading to the infamous communist – take over ours.
