Univ. of Chicago Press Release, 2002: Obama was a Community Organizer in NY

Many researchers and reporters have highlighted Obama’s secrecy about his years at Columbia University in New York City. In our recent article on Obama’s friendship with William Ayers, I wrote:

Now the Mainstream Media is onto this story too, and has (finally) noticed that Obama is hiding records from Columbia University, where he completed his undergraduate studies after transferring from Occidental College in California. To be more precise, it’s not just Obama’s academic files that are missing, but more curiously, the files of his life. The Wall Street Journal had a story Thursday entitled Obama’s Lost Years:

What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him.

Martin questions whether this mysterious period of Obama’s life has to do with William Ayers:

Is it just a coincidence that Obama and Ayers were on the Columbia campus together? Did they meet and make their initial contact at that time?

In his special Sunday night, Obama and Friends: History of Radicalism, Sean Hannity said about Obama’s years in New York: “That’s where the roadblock begins,” questioning whether Obama’s secrecy about that period is an effort to hide his radical associations. Hannity also explained how Obama’s “community organizing” work is modeled on Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” and was merely a stepping stone for Obama’s own political ambitions.

Now it’s come to my attention, thanks to an anonymous reader, that Obama was a “Community Organizer” in New York. Why has he failed to mention this on the campaign trail?

Here is a screenshot of a University of Chicago Press Release, found at http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/020110/mlk.shtml. The underlined text reads:

“During the 1980s, Obama directed community-organizing projects in low-income communities in New York and Chicago.”

Excellent thread and this is a good outline of the facts.

Thank you.

Conservative? She and Stanley moved to Washington State so their daughter could attend a high school that had some far left leaning (communist?) teachers and they attended a Unitarian Church that was called "the little red church" because of the communist leanings... here ya go

[Fred Nerks]

fair comment...but I’m relating what I wrote to her behaviour, she was the one who went to work, she supported the family, she was ‘the typical white woman’ obama referred to...they owned a motor vehicle; she caught a bus to work - while Stanley Armour Dunham hung around with Frank Marshall Davis, drinking scotch, listening to jazz, playing cards...maybe by that time Madelyn had woken up?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I see your point - yes she supported the family. I just didn’t want anyone believing she was a conservative. ;^)

HISTORY & CONNECTIONS

Chesa’s grandfather was a secret Communist Party strategist. Leonard Boudin masqueraded as a civil rights lawyer during the years the Weathermen killed, robbed and bombed, but really was a contact man for such hostile foreign powers as the Soviet Union and Cuba. Daughter Katherine was one of New York’s elite, attending good schools such as Bryn Mawr, enjoying a year in Moscow and developing a social conscience that allowed her to plan the killing and maiming of her fellow Americans.

Chesa receiving the Rhodes Scholarship is worth a closer look. British ultra-conservative statesman Cecil Rhodes created the scholarships in 1902. Winners are selected, so it is said, on the basis of academic achievement, integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor. Out of 981 applicants from some 341 colleges, 32 Americans were named as Rhodes Scholars. Chesa adds injury to the insult left by William Jefferson Clinton to this once-respected institution and to the United States.

Selection was through a committee chaired by Dennis Hutchinson, an academic at the University of Chicago who teaches constitutional law. A Rhodes scholar in the 1970s himself, Hutchinson’s resume ends with a statement, “professional scholars (must) … do more than simply talk to one another.”

Interestingly, no one has asked about any connection between Chesa’s adoptive parents and Hutchinson, though there certainly must be one. Chicago is a large city, but not that large, especially in the realm of academia, where, it is surmised, they “do more than simply talk to one another.”

Guardian Mom Dohrn, described by former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover as “La Pasionara of the lunatic left,” now pretends that her widely publicized support for the Manson Family killings in the ‘70s was a joke. “We were mocking violence in America,” she has said. Yet she does not deny her leadership of the terrorist cult, and none of her comrades thought the lovely Bernardine was joking.

Guardian Dad, the distinguished Professor Ayers, not only hides his some 17 tattoos under his smart suits, but these days he is writing books about his exploits as a revolutionary and his bombing activities. However, in describing a bomb he placed in the Pentagon, Ayers brags a bit too much. “It turns out that we blew up a bathroom and, quite by accident, water plunged below and knocked out their computers for a time, disrupting the air war and sending me into deepening shades of delight.”

“Disrupting the air war” today would provide grounds enough not only to disrupt the professor’s tenure but to have Ayers facing much more serious charges.

Is it any wonder? Copy and distribute this info on the radicalisation of our educational and civil society:

As for our own "home grown cadre" of terrorist enablers and miscreants, the main players that put the methods to paper, and action, I found out a little more about two of the real perpetrators of the current socialist drive, both of them professors in our vaunted ivy league colleges:

Here are Richard Cloward and Frances Piven, the team that created the blueprints for most of the social unrest's legal acts to date.

DiscoverTheNetworks.org's CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY

First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Inspired by the August 1965 riots in the black district of Watts in Los Angeles (which erupted after police had used batons to subdue a black man suspected of drunk driving), Cloward and Piven published an article titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty" in the May 2, 1966 issue of The Nation. Following its publication, The Nation sold an unprecedented 30,000 reprints. Activists were abuzz over the so-called "crisis strategy" or "Cloward-Piven Strategy", as it came to be called. Many were eager to put it into effect.

In their 1966 article, Cloward and Piven charged that the ruling classes used welfare to weaken the poor; that by providing a social safety net, the rich doused the fires of rebellion. Poor people can advance only when "the rest of society is afraid of them," Cloward told The New York Times on September 27, 1970. Rather than placating the poor with government hand-outs, wrote Cloward and Piven, activists should work to sabotage and destroy the welfare system;  the collapse of the welfare state would ignite a political and financial crisis that would rock the nation;  poor people would rise in revolt; only then would "the rest of society" accept their demands.

You can bet your bippy that Obama/Soerto -- the 'Kenyan' -- was under their direct tutelage during his years on campus.

Then we get to Acorn -- the most visible entity currently active.

Here's a couple of links; first one is a YouTube compilation, second a web-site with all the gory details:

We continue be shown just how radical in so many ways BHO is, while I sense the majority of American voters really are being keeped in the dark. And of course the L/MSM does it's best at managing what news comes to the voter attention.
All the McCain team can do is attempt to throw out things that may somehow give pause to many people who think the demorats will somehow make their little lives better. So many remain clueless in so many respects.

Amen to what you said.
