One especially interesting tidbit is that Khalid al-Mansour was originally named Donald Warden. As Donald Warden, he mentored Bobby Seale and Huey Newton, founders of the Black Panthers.
In the Congressional Record (page E824, April 23, 2007), Congresswoman Barbara Lee of California intoduced a bill honoring him for his Black Panther work:
Ms. LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the African American Association. Throughout its extraordinary history, the Association has been known for promoting equality, diversity, social justice, and African American community empowerment. This year the Association celebrates the 45th anniversary of its founding.We now have a link (Mansour) between Obama, black radicals, and the Saudi royalsThe African American Association was first organized in the early 1960s by African American students at the University of California, Berkeley. Among the founding members were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums; and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale.
The Association’s founding occurred in the midst of a turbulent time for African Americans and for our country. Malcolm X was fearlessly expressing his views on race relations. Many African nations were being liberated after years of colonial rule and oppression. The civil rights movement was gaining national momentum, and many young African Americans were feeling a newfound source of pride in their African heritage. A primary impetus for the group’s establishment was an interest in learning the real history of Africa and slavery in the United States. Not having the resources for a mass media campaign, group members took their message to where the people were: they took their message to the streets.
" Legitimizing fascists as revolutionaries."
Its a standard histrorical cycle.None of these men were " Robin Hood." Nor were they Karl Marx , Trotsky or Stalin , icons used to cloth them in the ideology of communists, which they were not, but rather the spoiled brats of a narcistic generation, aided by a man whose goal is the destabilization of US Society. This is the giving of legitimacy to those who would use violence instead of the ballot box. They had no cause to "revolt." Their cause was to use force in order to ram their narcistic Utopian views down the throats of patriotic Americans.
Now their chief plenipotentiary instrument is running for president.
Their violence will return, when Obama loses the election.And their violence will be lauded by the same cadres of idiots , who believe that their Utopia, which has as its most signifiant marker, the diminution of American freedom , politically, economically and socially, is an answer to their demands of "historic justice?"
America is about to be fundamentally tested. The choice will be freedom or Utopia of Orwellian nature. Which shall it be?
For us it will be freedom,no matter who wins the election, and no matter how strongly they try to remove it.
