A 1979 story by Vernon Jarrett Sheds New Light on possible Arab funding of Obamas Higher Education
...the 1979 story was written by none other than Vernon Jarrett- the leftist journalist who was the future father-in-law of Varlerie Jarrett, now Obamas top advisor. Jarrett, as Miele notes, was one of the best friends and a colleague of Frank Marshall Davis, the black Communist who became influential in the life of Barack Obama.
In his article, Jarrett wrote that those receiving these funds would help create a new black advocacy for a homeland for the Palestinians and presumably support other Arab interests in the Middle East
...Why would Muslim oil billionaires finance and develop controlling relationships with black college students?
Well, like anyone else, they would do it for self-interest. And what would their self-interest be? We all know the top two answers to that question: 1. a Palestinian state and 2. the advancement of Islam in America. The idea then was to advance blacks who would facilitate these two goals to positions of power in the Federal government, preferably, of course, the Presidency
At the same time, since the seventies, the Communist movement had been assiduously cultivating blacks to serve as foot soldiers in the coming revolution.
But, since the late seventies, Arab money was also cultivating blacks...for their own purposes.
Suddenly, here was an opportunity to merge the three disparate movements for mutual benefit.
