Barack Obama Argued Strict Revolutionary Marxism to John C. Drew, at Occidental College

Investigating Obama ^ | 4/21/2010 | Arlen Williams

[unspun]

I am requesting an interview with the man who bears witness to the determined, anti-American Marxism of Barack Obama, while a student at Occidental College. The following article and interviews resounded (remurmured?) through at least a bit of the conservative 'net media, this past February. I'll let these stand for themselves and may either update this post or add comments in another.

John C. Drew, Ph.D. featured in the Newsmax article, "Obama Espoused Radical Views in College," by Ronald Kessler, 2/8/2010.

Interviewed by Scott Baker and Liz Stephans of The B-Cast, 2/12/2010

Drew interviewed on another recent occasion (2/16/2010-?)

With a few more questions, I think there is more to gain from Dr. Drew, and to explore with him. This appears to be critical, empirical knowledge of Obama at his political and even personal core. It should be put into informed perspective and then we will find his worldview explaining -- perhaps predicting the steps he takes, and their objectives and ramifications in both the short term and long -- actions which must be defeated.

Whether Panama hats were discussed is not necessarily one of those questions.

Barack Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history. Nobody is even visible in second place. Kim Philby could not polish his shoes in the treason department.

Obama Espoused Radical Views in College [advocated communist revolution!]
Steve Malzberg - WOR News Talk Radio 710 ^ | February 12, 2010 | Ronald Kessler

Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.

During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss’ home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.

“Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together,” Drew says. “We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.”

For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.

“He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth,” says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.

“The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others,” Drew says. “That this was the secret of their wealth, that they weren’t paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.”

Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as “part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society.” ..."

Referring to Obama’s quote from “Dreams of My Father” that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, “What he’s not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obama’s later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wright’s ideology.”

Thank you.

This is something that needs to “get out there.”

You know, as in “The truth is out there.”

"Nobody is even visible in second place. Kim Philby could not polish his shoes in the treason department."

IMHO, this is one reason he has made it as far as he has; there is no historical precedent for the brazenness of Malcolm O and his handlers. This has heretofore been the stuff of screenwriters, and yet when his opponents point out his obvious efforts to dismantle the nation, it makes it all the more easier for his defenders to label them as paranoid conspiracy theorists.

[supremedoctrine]

“the most successful Communist mole in history.”
Travis McGee, I agree.
And don’t ever forget Obama was ‘brought to you by’
(in traditional TV marketing parlance)
an entity that still calls itself the “Democratic Party’.
We all knew what the face of dystopian socialism
looked like, as we scanned the endless rogue’s gallery
put in place during the Cold War, from the Soviet Union
to all its satellites world-wide, and now we see the same
faces looking American, but looking like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Schumer, Obama, Geithner, Paulson, and all their surrogates and acolytes throughout “The Party”, who have nowhere else to go just yet, and so are going down on
record as being With The Program of this wannabe demagogue.
It’s going to be interesting to see where and how this will
end, because it’s not going to end well for them.

So, why bother creating wealth when it will only be redistributed? Then you run out of other peoples' money to redistribute,and all but the few "glorious leaders" are equal(ly miserable).

There are no surprises here. Given the man's family, mentors and associations over his entire life there's ample evidence about his true ideology. There can be no other reason for the manner in which his school records are kept from the public, but to conceal his politics.

When he was elected, I felt more than the usual disappointment of losing an election. I had an unshakeable feeling that a trap had been sprung. I still do. Hopefully, revelations like this can wake-up some of the more obtuse voters in our country...who listened to the siren song of the left.

[ETL]

The importance is in the documentation and details of what he said.

[snowrip]

Bookmarked. please add me to the list.

[VR-21]

The importance is in the documentation and details of what he said.

I agree, these revelations are important. I do have some frustration though at the way so many still refuse to see him for what he is, regardless of what is revealed. I marvel at how even now there are so many who dare not say the word.

[faucetman]

If this doesn't make it into the MSM.... It didn't happen.

The MSM is the REAL problem. In your next appearance on MSM just ask them (off topic? Who cares) “Why aren't you reporting on the first hand account by Dr. John C. Drew, where Obama discusses his ardent belief in Marxism?”

“What? ummm, gulp,”

“Just Google Dr. John C. Drew and see the youtube video.”

“Well, I don't know about that, but we have to take a commercial break now”

TOO LATE, damage already done.

WE HAVE TO CO-OP THE MSM.

TAKE OVER the interviews, especially on LIVE shows. You might even get lucky and get an arrogant journalist ( we know there is no shortage of those) to DEBATE you on the topic you raise.

Start with a SHORT sound bite including the topic and where to get more info. You likely won't get the time to expand on your topic so you MUST give listeners a place to get more info. Also they may think that no damage has been done and try to get you back on their track, which will give you a second bite at the apple. Google this, Google that, is only TWO WORDS (or 3 or 4)for them to remember.

Why would you feel obligated to answer or respond on topic to their questions? Dems don't. They go right to their talking points. IGNORE their questions and get right to your sound bite of the unreported by MSM topic and Google search word/s. KEEP IT SHORT. They will follow that page to other searches and pages. We just need to get them STARTED searching.

Come on people, (those of you who can do this or know someone who can, or knows someone, who knows someone, who can) It's a PATRIOT TAKEOVER of the MSM.

[ETL]

I do have some frustration though at the way so many still refuse to see him for what he is, regardless of what is revealed.

Many think it's perfectly OK that he is what he is, or simply don't understand how awful Communism is, assuming they even know anything about it. Decades of dumbing-down the public has worked wonders for the movement.

So, why bother creating wealth when it will only be redistributed? Then you run out of other peoples' money to redistribute,and all but the few "glorious leaders" are equal(ly miserable).

And a country such as China can only survive as long as there is a country such as the US which uses their manufacturing base to churn out cheap goods which we in turn buy and sell. If all wealth is redistributed, we will no longer buy their goods or be willing to develop new product, so their economy will also go in the toilet.
