Were told that Barack Obama chose the obscure locale of Osawatomie, Kansas, for his recent domestic policy speech because it was the site of a seminal Teddy Roosevelt speech 101 years ago. This may very well be true. Through the distinctively named city of 4,500, Obama could make a symbolic connection with the man who once offered Americans a Hamiltonian conception of state power dubbed the New Nationalism. Yet, unbeknownst to virtually everyone, Obama is connected to Osawatomie through another man.
Its a connection thats odd and alarming and at least a bit spooky.
I didnt know about this connection when I wrote my recent article about the Presidents communist ties. But just to provide some background, I pointed out how Obama claimed in Osawatomie that our relatively free market system not only doesnt work, it has never worked. Furthermore, I mentioned the fact that the President has appointed avowed communists to his administration, that he was mentored by communist Frank Marshall Davis, that a contemporary of his at Occidental College said that Obama was a flat-out Marxist-Leninist during his time there, and that he has no known history of renouncing these views. More to the point here, however, I mentioned well-known Obama closet skeleton and self-proclaimed communist Bill Ayers, who, as you probably know, was a Weather Underground terrorist in the 1970s. Now, to get exactly to the point, Id like you to take a gander at the following image and see what jumps out at you.

Was There a Hidden Message in 0bama's 0sawatomie Speech?
. . . . Check out article.
Also # 9 and # 12.
"Together We Thrive" echoes Kenyan Odinga's slogan: "Fairly we share, together we prosper"
Bttt
Hidden message addressed to whom? To William Ayres? To the few remaining Weathermen? Doubtful.
They will always express their intentions in no uncertain terms.
They then say anything to obscure and achieve those intentions.
That Obummer chose a place for a speech and that place has a
connection to an earlier Pinko- Communist Fag is not so spooky as it is a matter of someone at New American doing their homework and finding the light turned on in the AHA moment.
Because he just loves shoving our faces in it. It makes him feel powerful.
There was and remains a fairly large and connected group of people who were supporters of the Weather Underground and the entire Movement. These people are today also fairly affluent, either from public service pensions, inheritances or trust funds, sometimes all three. These folks are scattered around the country, many of them in obscure rural areas that are known to be *happening places*, full of delightful countercultural events and organizations. All of these events and organizations can be counted upon for full political support of the far left when it is needed. Think of them as bundlers in hippie dress.
Some of these places harbor safe houses, such as the one utilized by Abby Hoffman. This is where one is likely to find original underground publications and first editions of books such as Prairie Fire.
If there was a secret message to the troops, those are the troops.

Agreed. There are also younger people who are ideologically sympathetic.

Todd Gitlin? Tom Hayden? Mark Rudd? Michael Kazin? Paul Buhle? So now that they've got the signal what are they going to do with it? How much weight do they really carry? And how much more will they bring to bear for Obama than they otherwise would have.
Reagan got flak because he spoke at a county fair in Mississippi that hosted many politicians and happened to be in the county where civil rights workers were killed.
Some people still go on about that, and people will go on about this. All's fair in love and politics, I guess, and every politician is responsible for the silly or possibly offensive things he or she does.
But the secret signal idea is a stretch in both cases.
I’ve lived within a 45 minute drive of this little town most of my life I have never heard of this connection. Why on earth would the weathermen use that name? It is famous for being a place that John Brown killed people. Is that why?
Yes, they identified w/ John Brown. The WUO explain their rationale for choosing that name here (on page 2): http://www.antiauthoritarian.net/sds_wuo/osawatomie_no_2/osawatomie.html
Yes. Many are the children and now even the grandchildren of the original supporters. But, of course, Marxism is cool today, so there is a entire new bunch. for example, the Occupiers.

No, not so much. This is a more diffuse group, not necessarily cadre, but the rank and file, their kids and grandkids and all the newbies who are convinced that the USA needs to be eliminated and then the ruins burned.
These are the people who are really the 1% but are guilt tripped into supporting their own demise and loudly proclaim that they don’t really care about money while living a rural hippie lifestyle supported by same. They are contributors. They are the ones working for the NGOs and doing the Occupation. They are prolific grant writers and grantees, using our tax money to do the ground-level work for EPA and the rest of the far left agencies. They are the petitioners who spend rainy days on street corners for the cause. They were Movement grunts and then they raised an entire couple of generations on their *war* stories.
Scoff all you like. I live surrounded by them and way back in the day, they were my friends. Their kids are in their 30s and early 40s and the grandkids are teens to twenties. As Anonymous likes to say:they are Legion.
