When Barry met Billy

I am much less interested in the recycled National Enquirer report of an Obama tryst with a mistress than I am with the question of when Barack Obama first met William Ayers. The estimable Ed Morrissey of Hot Air previews a new book that claims to have uncovered evidence that the two men met far earlier than the campaign's claimed date of 1995. Ed quotes the book's co-author Aaron Klein:

Oh wow. I didn’t think of that.

And there was a lot of Black Panther activity in that neighborhood during this period.

From a post by FReeper Gemsbok:

In 1981, former Weather Underground members along with a few former Black Panthers are arrested in association with the robbery of a Brinks armored truck 20 miles north of Manhattan. A guard is killed and the driver is wounded. $1.6 million is recovered.

One of the Weather Underground members arrested for the Brinks crime is Kathy Boudin. She is sentenced to 20 years-to-life. Boudin leaves behind a child, Chesa Boudin, who ends up being raised by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn while her mother lives in prison.

One of the former Black Panthers arrested in connection with the Brinks robbery is Nathaniel Burns, a member of the Black Liberation Army. Burns is also known as Sekou Odinga. Burns/Odinga is sentenced to 25 years-to-life for attempted murder of a police officer. (ODINGA, sound familiar?)

Ayers/Dohrn and Obama first met at least 5 years before the suggested year of 1988 in New York City, when they were living within 8 blocks of each other. At the time, Dohrn was in the business of creating fake IDs.

Yeah it does. Odinga - what are the odds? BO is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. I just can’t understand why our intelligence agencies allowed his election - surely they knew all this about his past. Why didn’t they stop this ?

I mean think about it - Khadaffi financed Odinga’s campaign in Kenya.

Saddam Hussein’s bagman Auchi provided the cash for Obama’s house.

A Saudi Prince paid for him to go to Harvard.

It is unbelievable that they did nothing to stop this from happening.

Barry has said a number of times that while attending Columbia University he attended Socialist organization meetings at Cooper Union. I can’t imagine that Bill Ayers did not have a prominent role in the festivities. Not hard to see why Columbia has buried any and all records of Barry’s time at the University. While we have nutjobs, much like Bill Ayers planting bombs in Times Square this week I’m sure the press is working overtime to cover up Barry’s deep connections with Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayers.

thanks for posting that, a very important link to the saga, he virtually told the postman the same thing that the Russian woman told Tom Fife in 1992.

[Thanks, Brown Deer.]

Fake ID’s eh??

Hmmmm.....

[Marine_Uncle]

Quite interesting set of posts that is for sure.

a new book that claims to have uncovered evidence that the two men met far earlier than the campaign's claimed date of 1995.

And since Ayers admits that he wrote the 1995 Dreams From My Father, he must have known Barry from a considerably earlier date.

“Mrs. Ayers told me that her family had been helping out a brilliant young black man,” Hulton said and whom he believes she said was from Kenya.

If so, was he actually from Kenya or was he at that time already using that as part of his "I'm a foreign student" legend?

What sort of M.A. degree is "Early Childhood Education"???

It's for an elementary school teaching degree.

[Freedom56v2]

Learning how to teach pre-school—i.e. pre-school indoctrination :(

[Freedom56v2]

I have not heard about “the russian woman” can you elaborate? Thanks!

[bgill]

At the time, Dohrn was in the business of creating fake IDs.

At the time, the Dunham-Obama gang was busy collecting SS numbers, making shady loans, and possibly making shady real estate deals and applying for foreign student scholarships.

ANd considering Ayers most certainly wrote one of his books (or both??), I’d tend to agree with you.

“How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” (quote by Ronald Reagan)

Loved the quote from Reagan. I had never heard it before. I am not a troll, but a Freeper/Lurker. However, I would like to play devil's advocate here.

A little background: I graduated from HS in 1981, thought I was a hippie born too late. Older sisters who indoctrinated me in all things liberal. Joined the US Navy and got married and became rather conservative (GRIN).

Now a displaced Texan living in the socialist state of California. I deal with socialist thinking from my co-workers on a daily basis, serious and tongue-in-cheek, needling and inane. It can be intellectually grounded or simple incredulity at my opposition. Because I work in an industry with lots of ex-military, there are also lots of conservatives.

All that being said, I believe the "Social Justice" ideas are alluring to many. They still think that government can right wrongs, regulate fairly, and promote the common welfare. Many things said by conservatives are discounted 100 percent, written off as propaganda. Thus, they never have to regard ideas that are counter to their own.

Oh, what is the word for the doctrine preached by Rev Wright among others, Liberation Gospel or something? I think there is still some people who believe that the common man needs to be rescued from evil capitalists. Union issues are addressed daily at my workplace. I am a beneficiary of previously negotiated union contracts. I see some value in a union, but I can certainly see how they affect the bottom line, too. Good workers are not happy with those who skate along doing nothing. (I have been told that I am not a good "union brother" for criticizing others like that.)

Finally, 2/3 of my olders sisters still feel strongly that Obama has in mind what's best for Obama. I --like you-- don't fully understand that! They are both wealthy family-oriented professionals and genuinely nice people.

I have talked with one of those 2 who voted for Obama (having had a more distant relationship with the other one). And I can say that she and her husband care about people and have given of their own time and money to help out a family member who was on the skids. They gave more than he deserved, to the point of being taken-advantage-of, to the point of enabling. Looking back, they may regret some things, but probably feel that they did their best.

I guess you could say that we have a political class, an entire generation of enablers. I was not expecting to arrive at this conclusion but there it is, surprise. I battle regularly (having 5 adult children who sometimes need help, sometimes deserve it, sometimes want it) with NOT ENABLING PEOPLE. So from that point of view, I guess I understand those who are well-intentioned.

From what I hear, the first people to be casualties in a genuine Marxist revolution are the idealists in the country who helped bring it about. This is from ex-KGB sources via radio and print news. They say that in a small country somewhere in Latin America or Africa, they had lists of communist sympathizers who were cooperating. These would be the first people to object to the new totalitarian regime once it came about because "that's not what was supposed to happen". And they would be the most dangerous opponents during the early instability.

SO there is my theory for whatever it is worth. I think I might just make this a vanity post.
