David Axelrod is a Communist:

Obama’s Russia Problem: Obama's Links to Soviet-era Spy Rings and Terrorist Networks

Since Obama has raised the alarm about alleged Russian espionage activity, it’s appropriate to shine a spotlight on his own administration’s connections to Soviet-era spy rings and terrorist networks. Obama and two of his key advisors, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, were raised by families with members who are known either to have been in contact with Soviet agents or to have belonged to the Communist Party (CP) at a time when the CP was controlled by the Soviet Union. . .

Axelrod was born in Manhattan in 1955 to Joseph Axelrod, a psychologist whose family immigrated to Canada and the United States from Russia to escape Czarist persecution of Jews, and Myril Davidson (Myril Bennett), a journalist. Joseph “listed his party affiliation as ‘Communist’” in the 1930s, according to David’s biography. David tries to explain this away, but researchers have located records from the 1936 election that list his father as a member of the Communist Party. Joseph attended Columbia University at a time when it was an active center of CP activity. Meanwhile, Myril worked at the left-wing magazine PM, whose staff included Soviet agent I.F. Stone.

David graduated from New York’s Stuyvesant High School in 1972. He earned a degree in political science from the University of Chicago, where he met his future wife Susan Landau. He wrote for the Hyde Park Herald as an undergraduate. His Herald work caught the attention of David Simon Canter, a second-generation CP member working in the publishing industry, and Don Rose, a former publicist for the CP-controlled National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (Mobe). Canter and Rose began mentoring Axelrod.

With Canter and Rose’s help, Axelrod earned an internship at the Chicago Tribune, where he was hired and worked for eight years. He became the paper’s City Hall Bureau Chief and was its youngest political columnist. In 1984, he joined Senator Paul Simon’s campaign as its communications director, and was soon promoted to co-campaign manager. The next year, he formed his own political consultancy firm, Axelrod & Associates, which came to specialize in campaigns for black politicians after Axelrod worked on Harold Washington’s 1987 re-election campaign, joining Canter and Rose, who had worked on Washington’s previous campaign.

Axelrod first met Obama in 1992, when they were introduced by Betty Lu Saltzman (aka Bettylu Saltzman, Betty Lou Saltzman), an Illinois ACLU official. Saltzman and Obama were working together on Project Vote, a political organizing community geared towards low-income and minority voters, which Obama directed in Illinois. In 1994 Saltzman and Barack Obama were listed on the Friends of Alice Palmer committee, which also included several members of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Obama consulted Axelrod before giving a 2002 anti-war speech at a demonstration organized by Saltzman and Katz. Katz had formed a protest group called Chicagoans Against the War in Iraq. The group’s cofounder was Carl Davidson, an old associate of Katz, Bill Ayers, and Mike Klonsky who had worked with Cuban intelligence and the KGB in the 1970s and had become a leader in the Committees of Correspondence in 1992. Obama later asked Axelrod to read drafts of his 2006 book, The Audacity of Hope.

While serving as Obama’s chief strategist during the 2008 campaign, Axelrod hired Mode Project to design Obama’s campaign logo. Mode Project assigned the job to Sol Sender, the associate of Subud USA official Victor Margolin mentioned earlier.

Axelrod served as Obama’s Senior Advisor until leaving the White House in 2011. In 2012, he was again Chief Strategist for Obama’s Presidential campaign. . .

Yes, Democrat brown shirts are burning the cities, and Democrat politicians are letting them do it. They are basically holding these areas hostage.

If the democrats think what is happening in the cities helps trump, they can simply stop holding “rallies” there. It is all their people who are protesting and rioting.

Heck, you can even keep protesting, you just have to stop physically assaulting police officers, and stop trying to burn down buildings or destroy neighborhoods.

THere are NO cases where the police have instigated violence, or started the fires.

I can hear the Antifa thugs response when rat leadership tells them to cool it because it's helping PDJT. It'll contain expletives on steroids.

It is really upsetting to listen to Obama’s yes men now attach President Trump with phoney accusations like ‘Trump wants to see cities burn so he can make TV ads’ while at the same time democrats are criticizing Trump for ‘sending in stormtroopers into the cities’ to intimidate rioters. What a bunch of horses asses!
