Mike Klonsky : Obama blogger
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mike Klonsky has had a blog on Obama's official website for a few months now (His first article is from February)...
Soooo who's Mike Klonsky?...
Quote: Michael Klonsky (born 1943) is an American educator and political activist. He is perhaps most famous for being National Secretary of Students for a Democratic Society in 1968...
...On May 12, 1969, Klonsky and four other SDSers were arrested at the organization's Chicago national headquarters for assaulting a police officer, interfering with a firefighter, and inciting mob action[/b]. A prank call to a local police station said there had been a shooting at SDS' offices. When the police arrived, Klonsky and the others were convinced it was a ruse to gain access to SDS' offices.[1] Klonsky convinced the police everything was fine, when a second prank call brought local firefighters to the scene. When the police attempted to force entry to the offices, Klonsky and the others resisted. Convinced state repression of SDS was coming, Klonsky told a national television audience on CBS' "Face the Nation" that police repression of the New Left was being planned by the U.S. Department of Justice...
...At SDS' June 1969 national convention in Chicago, Klonsky played a major role in the dissolution of the organization. A group of 11 SDS national leaders—including Bernardine Dohrn, Jeff Jones, John Jacobs, Mark Rudd, Bill Ayers, Terry Robbins, and Howie Machtinger—had met in April and May of 1969 to craft a response to PL supporters within SDS. Their article, "You Don't Need A Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows," was published in New Left Notes on June 18, 1969, the day the convention opened. The "Weatherman" statement denounced imperialism and racism, and repudiated PL's claim that youth culture was bourgeois. The Weatherman statement called for revolutionary violence at home to stop imperialism, and the formation of collectives in major cities to support violence and stop factionalism.
Maybe you'd like to see a little more from our Weatherman friend?...
Quote: In late 1969, Klonsky founded the October League, a communist party which in 1977 became the Communist Party, Marxist-Leninist. He was elected the party's chairman. The group opposed Gay Liberation and supported the regime of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Shah of Iran. Klonsky made several trips to China beginning in July 1977, where he was warmly received by government and Communist Party of China officials and treated to state dinners.
Now either you believe that Obama complicitly allows this thing to happen on his blogs because of his association or you believe that their campaign site is run by such ignorant people that they unknowingly and freely let anyone who feels like blogging get their own page...
Of course, you could easily say "maybe Obama doesn't know anything about this loon and doesn't want anything to do with him!"...
tsk, tsk, tsk...Not so easy, my compadres...read on...
Quote: In 1991, Klonsky co-founded the Small Schools Workshop in Chicago
Co-founded?...
Wonder who co-founded it with him?...
Quote: William Ayers, Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), and founder of both the Small Schools Workshop and the Center for Youth and Society, teaches courses in interpretive and qualitative research, urban school change, and teaching and the modern predicament.
Okaaaaayy...
So what does this have to do with Barack Obama?...
Well let's look at the grant support for this workshop...
Quote: GRANT SUPPORT
Grants obtained for the support of the Small Schools Workshop and/or the Chicago Forum for School Change at the University of Illinois at Chicago, co-director, principal investigator.
Annenberg Challenge -1997 - 260,000
Annenberg Challenge?...What's that?...
Hmmm....wonder who the chairman of the Annenberg Challenge was in 1997....
Quote: Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995–2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995–1999
There you have it folks...
Mike Klonsky - Communist leader...and along with Bill Ayers, promoter of American terrorism, created a school workshop that received a grant from the Annenberg Challenge, the Chicago branch created by Bill Ayers and had Barack Obama as president and chairman, and now Klonsky gets his own little blog on Obama's offical website...
But you're not supposed to believe in "guilt by association", eh?...
Let's look back at what Obama said about Bill Ayers...
Quote: At the debate, Obama said of Ayers: “This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense.”
When Bill Ayers started the Annenberg Challenge and YOU became the founding president and chairman of it, you weren't 8 years old dummy...
Only your blind supporters are willing to bypass it... __________________ "You get the respect that you give" - cnredd
Bill Ayers and his wife hosted THE party at which Obama made the public announcement that he was going to run for a seat in the Illinois state legislature.
This party happened after Obama completed his undergraduate education at Columbia (transcript missing), after being employed as a community organizer by Ayers and living in the same neighborhood as Ayers, after serving as the President of the Ayers-created Annenberg Foundation (whose files the University of Illinois is still shielding), after attending Harvard with money raised by a man in Texas who is an advisor (who knew Ayers and Wright and Mansour) to the richest man in the world (an Arab sheik and member of the Arab royal family as is Osama Bin Laden), after Obama was made the Head of the Harvard Law Review (after an especially large anonymous donation was received by Harvard from the Arab sheik via his advisor), after Obama began attending services at the Black Panther-founded Trinity Church led by Rev. Wright who lives in the same neighborhood as Obama and Ayers and who, like Obama, also knows Mansour and the advisor to the Arab shiek .....No Obama doesn’t know Ayers much at all; Obama only knows of Ayers in his capacity as college professor....Yeah right.
William Ayers earned his PhD. in Education at Columbia in 1989. Obama also attended Columbia during the 1980s. The two men have known each other a very long time.
Do you happen to know about when Bill Ayers may have begun attending Columbia Universty in New York?
Slight correction. Osama is/was not a part of the Saudi royal family.
No I don’t sorry. I wondered how the hell he got a doctorate and from where.
William Ayers father, Tom Ayers, was CEO of Consolidated Edison in Chicago, Il. The family had lots of money and were very, very liberal.
They could afford the high-powered lawyers capable of keeping young Bill out of prison. His surrender was setup in such a way, I presume, that he would later go scott free for committing terrorism.
I am also presuming his father paid for his university education. With universities having faculty which probably admired what Bill Ayers had been doing, he must have received considerable support from people within those institutions.
That is my guess, anyhow.
I know Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991. So he must have entered school there in 1988. I believe he took three years off between his undergraduate education and Harvard Law which would place him at Columbia between 1981 and 1985. I’ll bet Obama and Ayers knew each other well at Columbia.
Supposedly Obama started at Columbia in 1981. He was in Pakistan during August - September 1981. But did he come straight back to the U.S.A.?
Could he have gone to Saudi Arabia during October of 1981 for the Hajj?
He was a nonpractising/practising Muslim up until 1990 and his room mates, both at Occidental and at Columbia, were Muslims. At Columbia, Obama & roommate lived off-campus so that arrangement was by preference and not by assignment at a college dorm.
So many questions and so little time left until Nov. 2, 2008. (Sigh)
