Jane Hall. She could be the poster child for “Left, Brain Dead, and proud of it”.

It is much worse than you think, the POTUS is a communist usurper.

Proof That Obama’s Hawaii and Chicago Communist Networks Were Linked?
NEWZEAL ^ | Monday, June 01, 2009 | Trevor Loudon

It is now well established that Barack Obama was linked to the Hawaiian Communist Party network through his boyhood/teenage mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

It is also well known that after moving to Chicago, Obama linked up with the local communist networks.

Manning Marable, a leader of the Communist Party offshoot Committees of Correspondence for Democracy&Socialism claims that Obama “understands what socialism is. A lot of the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in the Communist Party or as independent Marxists. There are a lot of people like that in Chicago who have worked with him for years...”

This leads to two key questions.

A Were the Hawaii and Chicago networks connected?

B Did Obama’s connection to Frank Marshall Davis in any way influence his progress up the Chicago political ladder?

If the answer is yes to both, there are significant implications.

It means that that the Communist Party USA was watching Obama from an early age and was willing to help his political career.

Frank Marshall Davis was active in the Chicago Communist Party until he moved to Hawaii in late 1948.

I speculated in this post that Davis may have known left wing journalist Vernon Jarrett in post war Chicago. A connection would be significant because the Jarrett family has played a very important role in Obama’s rise to power.

Both Jarrett and Davis worked in the communist dominated South Side Community Art Center and on the communist influenced Chicago Defender newspaper, in late 1940s Chicago.

I have since found conclusive evidence that Davis and Jarrett not only knew each other, but worked together in another Communist Party dominated organisation-The Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packing House Workers.

“organized to support the united packing-House workers of America C.I.O. now on strike”

The letter above is dated April 12, 1948. Note that CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) was at the time a communist controlled labor federation.

To the left is a partial list of Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packing House Workers officials.

Note the names Oscar C. Brown (Treasurer) and Louise T. Patterson (Assistant Treasurer), F.M. Davis and Vernon Jarrett.

To confirm the connection, below is a close-up of the committee’s publicity committee. Note that it is chaired by Vernon Jarrett and includes Frank Marshall Davis.

That the Citizen’s Committee was communist influenced is beyond doubt.

Louise T Patterson was the wife of Illinois Communist Party vice-chairman and attorney William Patterson and a prominent Party member in her own right. Louise Patterson was still a leader of the Illinois Communist Party well into the 1970s.

Further down the page was list of the organization’s “Food and groceries committee”. Named among them was Ishmael Flory, a leader of the Illinois Communist Party from the late 1930s until his death in 2004.

Incidentally, one of the eulogists at Flory’s funeral was Timuel Black, a well known member of Committees of Correspondence for Democracy&Socialism and a long time friend and political supporter of Barack Obama.

Oscar C Brown-later a famous jazz musician under the name Oscar Brown jnr, was also at the time a Communist Party member. he joined in 1946 and was expelled around 1954.

In 1948 Vernon Jarrett left his job as journalist at the Chicago Defender to start a black oriented radio show “Negro Newsfront” with Oscar Brown.

Jarrett was clearly on the far left and almost certainly, like his colleague Frank Marshall Davis, a covert member of the Communist Party.

Jarrett worked hard promoting socialist causes including the communist controlled Progressive Party.

Vernon Jarrett went on to become the Chicago Tribune’s first black syndicated columnist and was a founder of the National Association of Black Journalists.

According to a Washington Post obituary May 25th 2004

Mr. Jarrett continually shone a light on African American history and pertinent issues in Chicago and throughout the country. He stoked the political embers in Chicago that led to the 1983 election of the city’s first African American mayor, Harold Washington.

Vernon Jarrett was a key influence in Washington’s decision to run for the Chicago mayoralty and remained a key supporter through his four year tenure.

Harold Washington defeated the Daley machine to win the mayoralty backed by a coalition led by Chicago’s Communist Party and the local branch of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

DSA member and socialist historian Paul Buhle, wrote in a 1992 article for the Encyclopedia of the American Left;

Communists also gained from long-standing political contacts in the black community. Victories of black mayoral and congressional candidates with decades — old ties to the CP — a short list would include Coleman Young and George Crocket in Detroit, Gus Newport in Berkeley, and somewhat more ambiguously, Harold Washington in Chicago

Washington was actively involved in Communist Party fronts such as the US Peace Council and the Chicago Committee on Southern Africa, right up to winning the mayoralty-with Party support. After victory he stacked his administration full of communists, socialists and sympathisers to create one of the most far left administrations in US history-cut short only by his pre-mature death after four years in office.

I quote from remarks by Illinois Communist Party organiser John Bachtell to a “Special District Meeting on African American Equality and Building the Communist Party and Young Communist League, Chicago”, IL September 30, 2007.

The legacy of Harold Washington’s election and his administration is in the collective consciousness not only of the African American community, but the entire city. Many of his democratizing achievements endure 20 years later.

The historic election of Washington was the culmination of many years of struggle. It reflected a high degree of unity of the African American community and the alliance with a section of labor, the Latino community and progressive minded whites. This legacy of political independence also endures...

This was also reflected in the historic election of Barack Obama. Our Party actively supported Obama during the primary election. Once again Obama’s campaign reflected the electoral voting unity of the African American community, but also the alliances built with several key trade unions, and forces in the Latino and white communities.

It also reflected a breakthrough among white voters. In the primary, Obama won 35% of the white vote and 7 north side wards, in a crowded field. During the general election he won every ward in the city and all the collar counties. This appeal has continued in his presidential run.

Barack Obama has stated that Harold Washington’s victory in 1983 was the spur that made him leave New York to move to Chicago.

Vernon Jarrett was also a fan of Barack Obama. He watched his career from its early stages and became an ardent supporter.

In 1992 Obama worked for the ACORN offshoot, Project Vote to register black voters in aid of the Senate Campaign of Carol Moseley Braun. Unsurprisingly Moseley Braun also had strong Communist Party ties and was Harold Washington’s legislative floor leader.

Obama helped Moseley Braun win her Senate seat, then took it over himself in 2004-backed of course by the same communist/socialist alliance that had elected his political predecessors Harold Washington and Carol Moseley Braun.

Commenting on the 1992 race, Vernon Jarrett wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of August 11th 1992;

Good news! Good news! Project Vote, a collectivity of 10 church-based community organizations dedicated to black voter registration, is off and running. Project Vote is increasing its rolls at a 7,000-per-week clip...If Project Vote is to reach its goal of registering 150,000 out of an estimated 400,000 unregistered blacks statewide, “it must average 10,000 rather than 7,000 every week,” says Barack Obama, the program’s executive director..

I think she’s confusing Beck with Oberman.

She was on Fox as a ‘media analyst’ so she was well positioned to express her views/analysis of Beck on that show. Not to have done so would have been improper, but leaving is just plain silly. That is, if it’s true that’s the reason she left rather than faiure to get another contract worked out.

Apparently she felt she wasn’t up to the challenge of arguing the lib point of view on Fox. Is she running back to PBS??

I suppose the truth can be uncomfortable, Jane.

I'm sure you'll feel much more at home discussing other, less stressful, things on the other networks. It is so much easier reading Axelrod's talking points and everybody sitting around agreeing with them. It's so very collegial!

Two Communist parties ~ remember that the West Coast Longshoreman's Union has been a commie affiliate since the beginning of time ~ the West Coast includes Hawaii.

Then, there's Indonesia ~ they used to have a really big Communist party ~ under Sukarno.

Then, one day, the people rose up and killed the commies (and a bunch of others they'd wanted to get even with ~ mostly ethnic Chinese). That happened at roughly the same time Suharto took over.

Recall that Obama was removed from the MOSLEM SCHOOL and put in the CATHOLIC SCHOOL. Good reason for that ~ that was in the time when the Moslems (see Suharto) were still hunting down Commies, and the first time he mouthed off in school with some of the far Leftwingtard Progressive Commie cr*p he got fed by his mother, I would imagine it was noticed ~

You will also notice he got sent back to America.

I'm guessing this had nothing whatsoever to do with his mother's services as a resource to "the company" (after all, they have always hired on more than their fairshare of commies and ex-commies).

Stories like this are interesting, I guess, but are, in my opinion a REAL DISTRACTION from the major stories of the day:

1. Unemployment at near 10% (and higher than that if you count people who have given up looking for work.)

2. An administration that can't make up its mind regarding strategy in Afghanistan -- while American troops are in harm's war in Afghanistan.

3. A bill which, if passed, will affect the medical care and the yaxes of most Americans -- being debated in private -- bheind closed doors.

THOSE are the stories I'd like to see covered.

Not this distraction.

She broke the first rule of being allowed on FOX News - she’s ugly. I can take Kirsten Powers (turn down the volume and enjoy the view). Jane Hall’s only potential home is AirAmerica.

That picture must have been taken 30+ years ago. Today she sure looks like she's been rode hard and put away wet.

Interesting. After she made this statement, some of the news-oriented web sites say that FNC told them that Hall’s contract was not renewed. So, she goes on CNN and tells a tale. Quitting and not having your contract renewed are two different things. Poor Jane, I guess maybe she was interviewing for a job at CNN which is why she didn’t tell the truth.

This is funny.

Futher attempts to make the normal (Glenn Beck)seem radical and dangerous. Keep an eye out to see where Jane's reward comes from.

I turn my TV on once per day and it is to watch Glenn Beck...then I usually turn it back off.
