Obama’s Red Mentor Praised Red Army
AIM Report | By Cliff Kincaid | April 30, 2008

Frank Marshall Davis

Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.

The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:

Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!

He would read us his poetry whenever we stopped by his house, sharing whiskey with Gramps out of an emptied jelly jar."

The record turnout in the Democratic Presidential primary races shows that millions of voters, including millions of new voters, are using this election to bring about real change. We wholeheartedly agree with them."

A Landslide Mandate For Change

Congratulations on an extraordinary history making election!

We can think back with pride to decades of hard work toward our strategic goal of a big enough, broad enough and united enough labor and all-people’s movement that could overcome the ultra-right blockage to all progress. That all people’s movement has come to life, it is dynamic and it has the potential to keep growing.

The election of Barack Obama and a strengthened Congress creates new conditions in our country. There is now the possibility to shift gears and move forward. This new day requires us to further develop our tactics in order to continue to deepen and broaden labor and people’s unity.

There are thousands of experiences that we all have had in these momentous days, some large, some small, all of which express the enormity of change in thinking and readiness for involvement that is underway and that steels us for the battles ahead.

The tears of joy we all shared as crowds gathered to watch the election results here and throughout the world dramatize the new moment we are in.

Saul Alinsky on "Change"...
From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."

Russia and China have been holding joint war games every other year since 2005. The next one is scheduled for this summer...

[2009] Russia, China plan new joint military exercises

By MARTIN SIEFF, UPI Senior News Analyst
Published: March 26, 2009

WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- The continuing tensions over Russia's refusal to sell its state-of-the-art land warfare advanced weapons systems to China hasn't interrupted the rhythm of major joint military exercises between the two major land powers on the Eurasian landmass. The latest in the regular, biennial series of exercises between the two nations has been confirmed for this summer.

The next in the now well-established series of exercises called Peace Mission 2009 will be carried out in northeastern China, the Russian Defense Ministry announced March 18, according to a report carried by the RIA Novosti news agency.

The first bilateral Peace Mission maneuvers -- described at the time as counter-terrorism exercises -- were held in Russia and the eastern Chinese province of Shandong in August 2005. As we reported at that time, they were a lot bigger than mere counter-terrorism exercises. Warships, squadrons of combat aircraft and more than 10,000 troops were involved carrying out landings against hypothetically hostile shores. The maneuvers also involved large-scale paratroops drops. The scale and nature of those exercises suggested a trial run for a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan with Russian support. ..."

Russia, China flex muscles in joint war games
August 17, 2007

CHEBARKUL, Russia (Reuters) - Russia and China staged their biggest joint exercises on Friday but denied this show of military prowess could lead to the formation of a counterweight to NATO.

"Today's exercises are another step towards strengthening the relations between our countries, a step towards strengthening international peace and security, and first and foremost, the security of our peoples," Putin said.

Fighter jets swooped overhead, commandos jumped from helicopters on to rooftops and the boom of artillery shells shook the firing range in Russia's Ural mountains as two of the largest armies in the world were put through their paces.

The exercises take place against a backdrop of mounting rivalry between the West, and Russia and China for influence over Central Asia, a strategic region that has huge oil, gas and mineral resources.

Russia's growing assertiveness is also causing jitters in the West. Putin announced at the firing range that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace.

War Games: Russia, China Grow Alliance
September 23, 2005

In foreign policy it’s critical to “know thine enemy.” So American policymakers should be aware that Russia and China are inching closer to identifying a common enemy — the United States.

The two would-be superpowers held unprecedented joint military exercises Aug. 18-25. Soothingly named “Peace Mission 2005,” the drills took place on the Shandong peninsula on the Yellow Sea, and included nearly 10,000 troops. Russian long-range bombers, the army, navy, air force, marine, airborne and logistics units from both countries were also involved.

Moscow and Beijing claim the maneuvers were aimed at combating terrorism, extremism and separatism (the last a veiled reference to Taiwan), but it’s clear they were an attempt to counter-balance American military might.

Joint war games are a logical outcome of the Sino-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty signed in 2001, and reflect the shared worldview and growing economic ties between the two Eastern Hemisphere giants."

This won’t fly ......try and disarm the only deterrent we possess and “they” will not like the outcome. “They” are just tools of the socialists and socialism is merely a path to communism. When the money runs out we become a communist nation. How close are we ? Kalipornia is issuing IOU’s.....other states are very close to Kalipornias demise as well.

Stop now or else.

My opinion......

Nice post.

I don't believe the world will ever be free from nuclear weapons, unless something else replaces them.

Therefore, the best policy is to maintain enough of them to scare the living s--t out of anyone who might remotely think of using them.

Disarmament is like putting down the ball bat, when the bully tells you he wants you to.  What come next, any child can understand.

A little background on Columbia University-

http://www.geocities.com/roynagl/columbia.htm

“Columbia University was founded, in New York City, on January 4, 1754, as King’s College, by a royal charter granted by King George II of England, and its first classes were held in Trinity Church, on Broadway, in lower Manhattan, on July 17th of that year.

Classes were suspended in 1776 and after the American Revolutionary War, in 1784, the college reopened as Columbia College, at Park Place, near the present City Hall, with a new charter, granted by New York State. In 1857, Columbia College moved to mid Manhattan, at 49th Street and Madison Avenue, near Rockerfeller Center, which was built on land that was owned by Columbia University, until 1985.

In 1897, Columbia moved to its present location, above Central Park, at 116th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue, in Morningside Heights, where part of the Battle of Harlem Heights was fought, between American and British forces, on September 16, 1776, during the American Revolutionary War. A plaque, from 1897, on the Mathematics Building, at Columbia University, along Broadway, commemorates the Battle of Harlem Heights.

Columbia University is the six oldest college in the United States of America and the oldest college in New York State.

The official symbol of Columbia University is a king’s crown, which is based on the design of the crown that was part of a weathervane on its first building, at Church Street and Murray Street. This crown is now on display in the Trustees’ Room of Low Library.

Good part is , any decision by BHO will be years before you can complete or even start dismantlement etc and such can be countered by next administration if he does try such....... Congress will hopefully be back in hands of Americans who love this country versus the current crop of traitors and criminals by 2010 elections.

[Vaduz]

I hope your right.

[hiredhand]

I've heard it said and seen it written many times to watch California, for they lead the nation. Well if they're preparing to write IOUs, then does the notion of them leading still hold true? From what I can see it does. When we're finally BROKE, and it finally has the full impact, it will be a very dangerous environment. Unlike the last depression we went through, we didn't have other nations who had near the capability of taking us over, nor would they have tried. This time around, things are different. We'll be fortunate to escape what's coming intact, much less avoid having a foreign flag flying over at least portions of our nation... maybe even by invitation of the administration!

Our enemies know just how weak and ineffective our current leadership is. I give the current digression six months until something major occurs. I won't guess what that something is because we all have good imaginations and come to logical conclusions based on trends over the past year. But something will break, and it won't be small this next time around.

[Squantos]

I think the watch Kali, so goes the nation, was written by their tourist bureau....... I for one think it is a beautiful state but so is Russia, but their politics are the same IMO.

And I have no desire to follow or live in either place.

Just remember socialist air and armor assets have soft pink centers....
