JERUSALEM – Evidence has emerged that Sen. Barack Obama belonged to a socialist political party that sought to elect members to public office with the aim of moving the Democratic Party far leftward to ultimately form a new political party with a socialist agenda. Several blogs, including Powerline, previously documented that while running for the Illinois state Senate in 1996 as a Democrat, Obama actively sought and received the endorsement of the socialist-oriented New Party, with some blogs claiming Obama was a member of the controversial party. The New Party, formed by members of the Democratic Socialists for America and...

The Davis Plan and Connections to Obama In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (from 1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis. He had outlined the Communist plan to take over America from within, by installing educators at all levels of our educational system, gaining control of the media, getting Liberal judges appointed, recruiting, training and backing people to be elected to public office. I have researched every piece of legislation I can find that the Liberal Democrats have passed since the early sixties, and if you will research for yourself, you will find that they have...

This blog post is simply to share some videos, links, and pictures with my readers about the various Marxists who influenced Barack Obama. Now perhaps you do not believe Communism is a revolutionary force that has been embraced by the elites in our society to enslave the people of America and the World. If that is the case, a quote from Sam Adams comes to mind, because if you are reading this post right now, consider yourself warned. "If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in...

In his books, Obama admits attending "Socialist Conferences" and coming into contact with Marxist literature. But he ridicules the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist". Through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone identified as a memebr of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii, identified him as a CPUSA member. Obama developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis. Listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. You will find it briefly discussed in Obama's...

And in addition to injustice, it is only too evident what an upset and disturbance there would be in all classes, and to how intolerable and hateful a slavery citizens would be subjected. The door would be thrown open to envy, to mutual invective, and to discord; the sources of wealth themselves would run dry, for no one would have any interest in exerting his talents or his industry; and that ideal equality about which they entertain pleasant dreams would be in reality the levelling down of all to a like condition of misery and degradation. Hence, it is clear...

In "Something New Here," I laid out Barack Obama’s ties to the far-left New Party. Blogger Trevor Loudon, of New Zeal, did the pioneering work on this issue. Today, Loudon has posted good quality scans of New Party documents and pictures confirming Obama’s membership. We’ve seen most of this information before (although only recently), but never so clearly. With all its lengthy background pieces, has the New York Times ever noted that Barack Obama was endorsed by, and was a member of, the New Party? What about the Washington Post? Has any major television network, any national news magazine, or...

What should be front page news informing and warning Americans is going entirely unnoticed by the MSM. It couldn’t be any more obvious the media are in the tank for Obama.

I have previously posted about Barack Obama's involvement in the socialist led Illinois New Party here, here and here. Below are scans from New Party News Spring 1996.

Senator Obama Signed a CONTRACT WITH THE CHICAGO SOCIALIST PARTY Everything on the Post Below is Hyperlinked to a site within the Chicago Democratic party archives, there is no conjecture, no guessing, The fact is that as recently as 1996 Senator Obama was an active member of the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party: On their website the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) has a description of their political perspective called Where We Stand. It says, in part, We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality...

Election '08: America's Communist Party is giddy over current political events, saying its movement has reached a "turning point." There's no mystery why. Their candidate is the White House front-runner. Part of the Communist Party USA's glee can be attributed to the current economic turmoil. The radicals who make up its membership have long rooted for capitalism to fail. But it can't be denied that the popularity of Barack Obama, the most far-left candidate to run for president as the nominee of a major party, is a big part of the Communist Party resurgence. In an article chronicling that revival,...

About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people committed to monthly contributions. The NP's political strategy is to support progressive...

Proof is in the Public Record. “The public record is our only proof,” says former Naval Intelligence Officer Marion Valentine. “In 1963, while serving in Navy Intelligence (1958-1967), I read the FBI file on Frank Marshall Davis.

Second of two parts about Barack Obama's relationship with the American Left. While Sen. Barack Obama's association with Weathermen co-founder William Ayers has gained publicity on the campaign trail, his active participation in socialist organizations during his days as a local Chicago politician are less well-known. Mr. Obama has had a long association with both the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-affiliated New Party and the DSA's Chicago chapter dating back to his first run for the Illinois state Senate in 1996. (The DSA is the American affiliate of the Socialist International, which includes Nicaragua's Sandinsta Party among others.) That year,...

Last night’s final presidential debate proved once again that Senator Barack Obama talks a lot, but really says nothing—nothing you can count on when he tells another whopper.

Barack Obama has identified himself with Christianity as a cloak for his political agenda. The founder of community organizing, Saul Alinsky, regarded churches as an ideal vehicle for advancing the Marxist cause. But to have credibility in organizing churches, young Obama needed to join a church. So Bill Ayers' recruit was sent to Chicago's Trinity UCC. There he found in Jeremiah Wright a mentor of kindred spirit, obsessed with race and loathing America. Its mission statement declares Trinity's purpose is to be "agents of change for God who is not pleased with America's economic mal-distribution."[1] Obama the skeptic was especially...

The scary reality is that Obama's quasi-socialist economic policies are rooted in the fringe left economic beliefs of his first political party affiliation - The New Party. To understand these economic beliefs, perhaps we should look at the policies of this party; policies that mirror Senator Obama's proposals; policies that referred to President Clinton as a "Barbarian" and were built upon a belief that we should "Forget the Soccer Moms".

Leftist bloggers in an effort to denounce growing Internet claims that Barack Obama was a full-fledged member of the DSA & ACORN founded New Party, have claimed that uncovered New Party press releases were misleading. In the effort to denounce the claims on sites such as Daily Kos, fringe left sites have denounced the claims by pointing to the claims in the press releases that Danny Davis was a prominent member of the New Party. The argument by the fringe left, in an effort to suppress the story, is simply that Davis is a member of the Democratic Party and...

Outside of stump speeches, carefully scripted responses to reporters, and the endless recitation of talking points, there are a few moments when a politician speaks from the heart. It is in these moments when true motivations and core beliefs are often revealed. Such a moment occurred this past weekend, when Barack Obama unveiled his socialist leanings and gave a clue to the American people about what Obama is all about. But, are the American people listening? Have they become so duped by the rhetoric of "hope" and "change" that they don't see the train wreck that's about to happen? Our...

There has been a big buzz on the blogospere since US mega-blog Powerline picked up on evidence proving that Barack Obama was, in the mid '90s, a member of a short-lived socialist organisation, the Chicago New Party. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which also endorsed Obama that year and to which the Senator has longstanding and ongoing ties, has also been dragged into the fray. The Obama camp has countered in two ways. Firstly-claiming that while Obama was endorsed by the New Party he was never a member. That lie is easily disposed of. Here is a photo of Obama...

The news of Barack Obama's close relationship with Frank Marshall Davis has been around before, but it's important. Via Accuracy in Media:[T]hrough Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his "poetry" and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just "Frank." The...

Despite the ‘bunch of conservative businessmen and civic leaders’ on the Annenberg Challenge, which ran the school reform project, the Annenberg Challenge was Ayers’s baby. It actually diverted funds that were naively assumed to be going to bona fide education projects and channelled them instead into one radical group after another. That is the key point about the relationship with Ayers – that Obama’s own actions as a member of the Annenberg board were in concert with Ayers’ subversive world-view. Indeed, even more explosive new evidence is emerging about Obama’s links with the New Party, a radical left organization, established...

As requested, here’s a summary of what we’ve got on the New Party and Obama so far: What is the New Party? “The New Party believes that the social, economic, and political progress of the United States requires a democratic revolution in America — the return of power to the people. Our basic purpose — reflected both in our own governance and in our aspirations for the nation — is to make that revolution happen.” http://web.archive.org/web/20010204044200/www.newparty.org/about_the_np.html They describe themselves as “Social” Democrats: “We’ve already said that we see the NP as an explicitly progressive and democratic organization. This would give...

After allegations surfaced in early summer over the 'New Party's' endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and 'New Party' then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA's New Party.

New Party members and supported candidates won 16 of 23 races, including an at-large race for the Little Rock, Ark., City Council, a seat on the county board for Little Rock and the school board for Prince George¹s County, Md. Chicago is sending the first New Party member to Congress, as Danny Davis, who ran as a Democrat, won an overwhelming 85% victory.

I realized something after Tuesday night's debate: If (big if) Barack Obama is not elected president next month, it will not be John McCain who defeats him. McCain may be Obama's official opponent, but he isn't making the core case against him: namely, the case against Obama's deep roots in radicalism, which the Democratic nominee has never pulled up and grown away from. This is why if Obama loses on Election Day, it won't be McCain who defeats him. Like a flashy third-party candidate who ends up drawing just enough support from one candidate to put the other over the...

To listen to the Obama spin-masters you’d think that the McCain campaign’s questioning of their candidate’s association with unrepentant terrorist bomber Bill Ayers is a smear tactic falsely elevating a casual relationship between the two men into one where they worked together in promoting Ayers’ far-left goals. Their reaction to the continuing revelations that disprove that claim is one of sheer panic -- and they have a good reason to be scared witless that any in-depth probe of what went on between the two comrades will reveal Obama’s true colors -- all of them dark red! If the truth becomes...

Corsi on the radio now...listen

So I have been e-mailing every talk show host, newspaper, sending faxes to papers, even sent faxes to every McCain campaign regional headquarters regarding the Obama New Party and DSA information uncovered in the past few days. Has anyone else heard anything new?? I cannot believe with how clear the connection is that this story hasn't broke anywhere outside of a few blogs.

Just got a phone call from a very worried FReeper in Miami. Says it's going to be a sad day for America if Obama gets the White House, especially if he also has a 60 vote Democrat Senate. He's also very worried about McCain's campaign. Says he's beginning to name names, but in addition to naming names, he needs to kick butt! Sarah is doing her part but someone needs to light a fire under John McCain! And he wants to know what FReepers are going to do about it. I told him we're working on it in all 50...

Is Barack Obama a socialist? That seems to be the question after the discovery of documentation showing Obama’s endorsement by Chicago’s New Party, a group that intended to provide cover for socialists seeking public office in Illinois. The group used its endorsements to highlight members or sympathetic politicians seeking election through the Democratic Party, and according to the documentation discovered, seemed particularly enthusiastic about Obama.

Was he a member or was he simply endorsed by the Party, which had a strategy of endorsing Democratic Party candidates who were sufficiently left wing? In any case, I don't think it's right to call the New Party "socialist." I remember this party. One of the founders was UW lawprof Joel Rogers. They presented themselves not as socialists, but as left-leaning and progressive. I realize that for right wingers that counts as "socialist," but let's not be inflammatory.

Democratic candidate Barack Obama was a member of the socialist New Party during the 1990s, according to new evidence unearthed by web bloggers, receiving the party’s endorsement for his state Senate run in 1996. Reports earlier this summer that Obama was associated with the New Party were vigorously denied by the Obama campaign and the the New Party, but researchers examining Internet archives have found New Party documents clearly indicating Obama was a member of the party, received its endorsement, encouraged Party members to work with him in the Illinois statehouse, and signed a contract agreeing to maintain a relationship...

Freepers, we need to keep working on moving the Obama New Party and Democratic Socialist party connections. The evidence is so clear, it's all there. PLUS it comes from the actual archives of the websites of these socialist groups back in 1995 and 1996. The archives call Barack Obama a member of the New Party, they show he attended meetings of the party as well as addressed some kind of economic forum. Keep sending out information. Below is an e-mail I've been sending out to every talk radio host I could find. There is strength in numbers so together, we've...

I don't know how long Barack Obama's name will remain on the Wikipedia page for the New Party entry but it looks like it was added yesterday after a bit of struggle.
