Does 1979 newspaper column shed light on 2008 campaign story? (Possible Saudi support for Hussein)

Daily Inter Lake (Kalispel, MT) ^ | Sept. 22, 2012 | Frank Miele

[libstripper]

Searching old newspapers is one of my favorite pastimes, and I have tried to use them many times to shed light on current events — or to inform readers about how the past is prologue to our very interesting present-day quandaries.

Recently, I came across a syndicated column from November 1979 that seemed to point 30 years into the future toward an obscure campaign issue that arose briefly in the 2008 presidential campaign.

[Museum Twenty]

That YouTube video is a knockout! Percy Sutton was a Big Deal in NYC, and he seems sharp enough to me, even at 88!

[Old Sarge]

Somehow, it always results in no more than two degrees of separation from Valerie Jarrett, the Martin Bormann of the Obamanation.

[noinfringers2]

I have often referred to the article in posts and I wish that our politicians would not run away from what was being set up. I am thankful that there still are people in this Nation who see through what really goes with Obama and his international cabal. I think it ironic that two places of note in USA history i.e. Chicago and Hawaii are so significant as to that cabal.

The media is only covering Romney's gaffes, not Obama’s college financing, character, ss #, etc.

excerpt:

...The book spends time sketching out his two trips to the Middle East and Africa before he was killed, illustrating the extensive network of contacts he built. Malcolm developed political connections with heads of state, like President Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, King Faisal of Saudi Arabia, and Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt. He visited and gave lectures in Beirut, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Lagos, Egypt, Kuwait, Zanzibar, Tanzania and other locations, where he also wrote articles about US racism in newspapers and developed an international network of relationships with students, intellectuals, and leaders.

This meant that when Malcolm began to mobilize foreign governments to charge the US before the United Nations for violating African Americans’ human rights, he actually began to have the clout to pull it off. Marable also describes how he built a strong affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, first establishing contacts with their Beirut branches and then engaging with their Cairo center. Malcolm studied Arabic for several months in Cairo, and received religious instruction from the Brotherhood...

He studied at the al Ahzar University/Mosque in Cairo BEFORE he was able to make the hajj in Mecca.

Note that the article appears in “FOREIGN AFFAIRS”, the offical journal of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which some consider a sponsor of one-world socialism.

“The media is only covering Romney’s gaffes, not Obama’s college financing, character, ss #, etc. “

Easy to understand why. If they got into the Illegal’s grades, sponsorship, and funding, they’d discover he was, at best, a mediocre student who probably couldn’t even compete on an AA basis with other AA candidates and that he got all the way through school, from Occidental, to Columbia, through Harvard because he was sponsored and financed by an evil combination of U.S. communists and radicals and foreign, mostly Saudi, radical Islamists, to all of whom, not America and Americans, he remains totally beholden up to and including today.

[noinfringers2]

What the woman in the Moscow dinner party was telling had roots going back many years. The international financial cabal led by the Rothchilds that gave aid to the Russian revolutionaries have for years seen the USA as a political exception to be brought under control. This goes from the days of Wilson and bringing in and implanting a ‘Federal/foreign’ monetary goliath through WWII and the chicanery of Stalin to the latest episode where a person with a known communist and questionable personal history out of Hawaii and Chicago could beguile very many citizens towards becoming POTUSA. This should have been laid out on the public table but was kept cold in the pot in the kitchen.

So that's what the logo in the article (shown in the image in #53) meant. I suspected it meant something, but didn't know what. So I didn't attempt to reproduce it in my retyped version. Interesting!

Malcolm X (pronounced /'mæl-k?m ?ks/) (born Malcolm Little; May 19, 1925Template:Ndash February 21, 1965),
also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz[1] (Arabic: ?????? ???? ???????), was an African-American Muslim minister, public speaker,
and human rights activist.[2][3][4][5] To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of African Americans,
a man who indicted white America in the harshest terms for its crimes against black Americans.
[6] His detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, and violence.[7][8][9][10]
He has been described as one of the greatest and most influential African Americans in history.[11][12][13]

Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. By the time he was 13, his father had died and his mother had been committed
to a mental hospital.
His childhood, including his father's lessons concerning black pride and self-reliance and his own experiences concerning race,
played a significant role in Malcolm X's adult life.
After living in a series of foster homes, Malcolm X became involved in the criminal underworld in Boston and New York.
In 1945, Malcolm X was sentenced to eight to ten years in prison.

While in prison, Malcolm X became a member of the Nation of Islam. After his parole in 1952,
he became one of the Nation's leaders and chief spokesmen.
For nearly a dozen years, he was the public face of the Nation of Islam.
Tension between Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, head of the Nation of Islam, led to Malcolm X's departure from the organization in March 1964.

After leaving the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X became a Sunni Muslim and made a pilgrimage to Mecca.
He traveled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East.
He founded Muslim Mosque, Inc., a religious organization, and the secular, black nationalist Organization of Afro-American Unity.
Less than a year after he left the Nation of Islam, Malcolm X was assassinated while giving a speech in New York.

Lester J. Dugas Jr., 74, Businessman, Civic Leader
September 03, 1999|By Margaret O'Brien, Tribune Staff Writer.

Lester J. Dugas Jr., 74, a retired businessman and a pioneer in many social, civic and professional causes, died Monday in Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago.

He was the first African-American senior manager for Commonwealth Edison, where he worked for 35 years and paved the way for other minorities in the company. At the time of his retirement, he was the division vice president for Chicago South.

(snip)

Beyond Commonwealth Edison, Mr. Dugas also opened the door at the Economic Club of Chicago as its first African-American member.

He was well-known for his professional accomplishments, but even better known for his committed support of friends and civic causes.

“He and his family were very much a part of the civic fabric of this city,” said Edward Horner, executive vice president for development and public affairs at the Art Institute of Chicago. “He was a major presence and will be sorely missed.”

At the Art Institute, Mr. Dugas was chairman of the Leadership Advisory Committee and worked to make the museum's collection more appealing and available to an increasingly diverse audience.

He was also dedicated to health care. He was a board member at Children's Memorial Hospital for 30 years, past president of the board at Provident Hospital, chairman of the Foundation for Critical Care Medicine and an active member of the Illinois Hospital Association.

As a retired professional, he served as a board member of the Kenwood Group Inc., chairman of the executive committee of Hyde Park Bank, senior director and distributor for NSA Inc. and trustee for the Kenwood Growth and Income mutual fund.

Mr. Dugas served in the U.S. Army during World War II. Afterward, he earned a degree in electrical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. There, he was one of the founding members of the Beta Omicron chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

Mr. Dugas was a senior warden at the Church of St. Paul the Redeemer in Hyde Park. He was chairman of the building and grounds committee and spearheaded the restoration of the church bell tower in memory of his mother-in-law, Dorothy J. Taylor.

TRIBUTE TO LATE MR. LESTER JOSEPH DUGAS, JR.

Presented By

ALDERMAN HAIRSTON (5TH Ward) And
ALDERMAN PRECKWINKLE (4th Ward):

http://www.engr.wisc.edu/alumni/perspective/27.1/dugas.html

Dugas, one of the founding members of the Beta Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, graduated from the college with a degree in electrical engineering in 1949. He met his future wife, Lauranita Taylor, while they were both students at UW-Madison. The couple moved to Chicago, where Dugas worked with the electric utility company Commonwealth Edison. He worked for the company for 35 years, and retired as a division vice president.

He became the first African-American senior manager there and began to hone his own management skills, focusing on promoting and rewarding competence without regard to race and gender. Dugas recruited talented African-American students for internships and employment with Commonwealth Edison. He also promoted a woman to division engineer for the first time in the company's history.

Commonwealth Edison employees were encouraged to share their talents through a forum Dugas created. Dugas’s commitment to interpersonal relationships is illustrated in his 1977 trip to Russia as part of a U.S. Department of Energy exchange program. The following year he reciprocated the invitation by hosting Russian engineers at his home in Chicago. He was one of only a few asked to return for the completion of the program a year later.

The Dugases played a major role in the university's efforts to reach out to traditionally under-represented alumni and recruited students in the Chicago area. Often, they opened their home to host events that encouraged others to become involved in the university. Beyond the Chicago area, they helped identify alumni across the country and maintained contact with them, strongly advocating for the support of students and educational programs.

Lifetime educator Lauranita Taylor Dugas was born on December 2, 1926 in Chicago, Illinois to Dorothy and Robert Taylor. Her father was the first black commissioner of the Chicago Housing Authority, an organization he worked with for eleven years. In 1944, Dugas graduated from Parker High School and moved to Wisconsin to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she received her B.A. degree in sociology. In 1949, Dugas married Lester J. Dugas Jr., an electrical engineering student at the time who then became the first black senior manager of Commonwealth Edison in Chicago.

In a lovely Hyde Park apartment, Dorothy Taylor was discussing the times and legacy of her late husband, Robert Rochon Taylor. Chicagoans, and students of urban misadventures, know the name, if not a thing about him.

He's the Robert Taylor after whom the 28-building mess called the Robert Taylor Homes-the world's largest public housing project-is named. He died in 1957, four years before the project went up, but suffers in absentia the ignominy of his name being synonymous for a disaster.

(snip)

Taylor is the worldly matriarch of a sprawling and prestigious black family. Its members include granddaughter Valerie Jarrett, the Chicago Planning and Economic Development Commissioner, and grandniece Antoinette Cook Bush (”I consider her like my granddaughter”), expected to be named by President Clinton as the first black and first woman to head the Federal Communications Commission. Valerie was married to a son of columnist Vernon Jarrett; Cook's stepfather is Vernon Jordan, the Washington insider and civil rights leader.

(snip)

...Taylor and Dorothy moved into them that same year, soon after the birth of Valerie's mom, Chicagoan Barbara Bowman. Their second daughter, and Gail Dugas’ mother, is Chicagoan Lauranita Dugas.

wiki: To one reporter's e-mailed question about her divorce, she replied, “Married in (Dr. William Robert Jarrett) 1983, separated in 1987, and divorced in 1988. Enough said.”[7] In a Vogue profile, she further explained “We grew up together. We were friends since childhood. In a sense, he was the boy next door. I married without really appreciating how hard divorce would be.”

THOMAS G. AYERS & BARACK OBAMA

//

http://keywiki.org/index.php/Vernon_Jarrett#Vernon_Jarrett_and_Harold_Washington

Vernon Jarrett was also a fan of Barack Obama. He watched his career from its early stages and became an influential supporter.

In 1992 Obama worked for the ACORN offshoot, Project Vote to register black voters in aid of the Senate Campaign of Carol Moseley Braun-who had strong Communist Party USA ties and was Harold Washington's legislative floor leader.

Obama helped Carol Moseley Braun win her Senate seat, then took it over himself in 2004-backed by the same communist/socialist alliance that had elected Washington and Moseley Braun.

Commenting on the 1992 race, Vernon Jarrett wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of August 11th 1992;

Good news! Good news! Project Vote, a collectivity of 10 church-based community organizations dedicated to black voter registration, is off and running. Project Vote is increasing its rolls at a 7,000-per-week clip...If Project Vote is to reach its goal of registering 150,000 out of an estimated 400,000 unregistered blacks statewide, “it must average 10,000 rather than 7,000 every week,” says Barack Obama, the program's executive director...

Valerie Jarrett daughter wedding: Besides Obama, who was there
By Lynn Sweet on June 17, 2012

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2008/11/24/ms-jarrett-goes-to-washington.html

(Valerie Jarrett's) timing couldn’t have been better. Harold Washington had become the city’s first African-American mayor and Jarrett wanted to be part of his administration. Judd Miner, then Washington’s Corporation Counsel, recruited Jarrett to the city’s law department.

A few years later, after he’d returned to his law firm, Miner would make another hiring coup, recruiting the president of the Harvard Law Review, Barack Obama. Miner, in fact, was one of Obama’s earliest connections to an assortment of wealthy Jewish and African-American Chicago Democrats who would assist him at every stage of his political career.

//

http://spectator.org/archives/2011/07/05/letting-obama-be-obama/print

Significantly, it was Judd Miner, who formed a law firm with Allison Davis—Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland—who personally says that he recruited Valerie to the city’s Law Department, getting her initially involved with the Washington administration. Jarrett “wasn’t happy with private practice,” Miner told the Chicago Sun-Times, “and she wanted to get involved in the Washington administration.” The firm represented a number of groups that partnered with private developers to build and manage “affordable” housing. Speaking of whom, the firm’s partners were familiar with Chicago businessman Tony Rezko. (More on this momentarily.)

http://keywiki.org/index.php/Vernon_Jarrett

Vernon Jarrett also played a major role in the election of Chicago's first black Mayor Harold Washington.

According to aWashington Postobituary May 25th 2004;

Mr. Jarrett continually shone a light on African American history and pertinent issues in Chicago and throughout the country. He stoked the political embers in Chicago that led to the 1983 election of the city's first African American mayor, Harold Washington.

Vernon Jarrett was a key influence in Washington's decision to run for the Chicago mayoralty and remained a key supporter through his four year tenure.

[PapaBear3625]

Adding to what I posted in #75, we have the connection between Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis and Valerie Jarret to complete the circle. From American Spectator: All in the (Political) Family (Aug 2012) :

One of the first examples I found of Frank Marshall Davis getting noticed by Congress was a 1944 Congressional report listing his involvement in the American Peace Mobilization. That same report also cited the involvement of a fellow Chicagoan named Robert Taylor. Taylor was the grandfather of Valerie Jarrett.

Taylor also served with Davis on another communist front, the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee, whose members masqueraded as civil-rights crusading "progressives." The two served on the board together.

Both Taylor and Davis would have frequently encountered another politically active Chicagoan, Vernon Jarrett. Vernon Jarrett and Frank Marshall Davis worked together on the small publicity team of the communist-controlled Packinghouse Workers Union, which Frank Marshall Davis publicly called for nationalizing. Vernon Jarrett would one day become Valerie Jarrett's father-in-law.

So, here we have Obama's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, working with the literal relatives of Valerie Jarrett -- all serving together in Chicago's Communist Party circles in the 1940s.

The whole Obama collection of mentors, associates, and friends -- all connected with the Chicago communists.

Interesting. Valaarie Jarrett is married to the author's son. Amazing coincidence.

And Michelle introduced Barry to Ms Jarrett when Valerie worked for Chicago’s Mayor Daley and Michelle Robinson (and Barry) worked for the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin. And the Daley family and the Ayers family were very close.

Coincidence? Obama, Frank Marshall Davis and the Earl Durham Connection
February 8, 2010 by Brenda J. Elliott

I highlighted the link between Barack Obama’s communist childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, and Chicago journalist Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. I cited the link as evidence that the communist networks that touched Obama in both Hawaii and Chicago were connected.

Vernon Jarrett and Frank Marshall Davis worked together in a communist front, the Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packinghouse Workers in 1948 Chicago, the same year Davis moved to Hawaii.

More than forty years later Vernon Jarrett followed Obama’s career in Chicago and used his newspaper column to promote Obama’s successful Senate campaign in 2004. The question is, did some of Frank Marshall Davis’ old Chicago comrades aid Barack Obama’s career in Chicago more than four decades on?

This post looks at another link between Frank Marshall Davis and Obama’s Chicago network. The Abraham Lincoln School for Social Sciences was a Chicago institution of the 1930s and 1940s, run by the Communist Party USA.

The faculty members included known Party members Frank Marshall Davis, David Englestein, William L. Patterson, Geraldyne Lightfoot, Claude Lightfoot, Ishmael Flory and Earl Durham.

Frank Marshall Davis went off to work for the Hawaiian Communist Party, gradually sinking into obscurity. His former comrade and colleague, Earl Durham, rose to the top of the communist ladder and went on to make a major impact on Chicago education and politics.

Earl Durham served in numerous leadership posts in the Communist Party USA. He was elected to the Communist Party National Committee at the Party’s 16th National Convention held in New York City on February 9-12, 1957, at which time he was also chosen to serve on the party’s 11-member national administrative committee.

At a meeting of the Party National Administrative Committee in May 1957, Durham was named as youth affairs secretary of the party. He was subsequently appointed as one of nine party secretaries, who functioned as “a collective leadership” for the Communist Party USA.

After working studying the psychopharmacology of heroin addiction, Earl Durham made the decision to earn a master’s degree at the School of Social Service Administration at the University of Chicago. On graduation he was hired by the School as a professor, where “he was able to influence many students to consider community organizing as a career”.

One former student, Ron Sanfield, blogged:

I was a graduate student at the U of Chicago in the 1970s, and had Earl Durham for a professor.

Even though it was more than 30 years ago, I can still vividly remember those exciting sessions in his classroom. He challenged us to confront the realities of community organization, and what it REALLY meant. He challenged us to confront our feelings about race, about class, about the gap in America between rhetorical words and deeds.

One day, he told us, “If you really wanted to be doing community organization, you would be ‘out there in the streets’, not in here in this ivory-tower university” — and taught us about Saul Alinsky who had walked those very same streets of Hyde Park and other Chicago neighborhoods.

In the early 1980s Earl Durham worked with the Communist Party and Democratic Socialists of America to elect Chicago’s first black mayor, long time communist front activist Harold Washington.

It was Washington’s election in 1983 that inspired Barack Obama to move to Chicago. Obama even unsuccessfully wrote away for a job in the Washington administration.

Earl Durham’s brother, writer Richard Durham, served as Washington’s speechwriter. While never a confirmed party member, Richard Durham participated in several communist-controlled organizations. In the 1950s, Durham worked as the national program director of the communist-controlled United Packinghouse Workers of America.

At the same time he founded Chicago’s Du Bois Theater Guild with Vernon Jarrett and Oscar Brown, Jr., a Communist Party member member and another former official of Frank Marshall Davis’ “Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packinghouse Workers.”

In the ealy 1980s, until Richard’s death in 1984, both Durham brothers served on the board of the Black Press Institute, the Chicago propaganda organization run by pro-Soviet Illinois State Senator, Alice Palmer.

In 1995 Alice Palmer launched the political career of her chief-of-staff, Barack Obama, at a meeting in the Hyde Park home of former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

In 1989, Earl Durham had served on the board of the Chicago Committee in Solidarity with Southern Africa, along with Alice Palmer another long time Obama friend and supporter, Timuel Black.

Later, Timuel Black was a leader of the Communist Party breakaway group Committees of Correspondence. A 1994 Chicago Committees of Correspondence “Membership, subscription and mailing” in my possession includes the names of Earl Durham, Alice Palmer, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Earl Durham wrote the Chicago School Reform Act of 1988, which shifted decision-making to the school level and created Chicago’s unique Local School Councils. These reforms created an opening which was heavily exploited by radicals like Bill Ayers and Mike Klonsky and the up-and-coming Barack Obama.

In the mid 1990s Earl Durham and Barack Obama almost certainly crossed paths in a new Chicago organization, Community Organizing and Family Issues (COFI). Earl Durham was founding board member of the organization, while Barack Obama served in 1994-95 on the COFI sponsoring committee.

COFI, like many Chicago community groups, was a respectable “front” for radical activism.

Some of Obama’s radical COFI colleagues included:

* Ken Rolling, signer of a 2008 statement in support of Bill Ayers.

* Jackie Grimshaw, Obama’s Hyde Park next door neighbour, Democratic Socialists of America honoree board member of the radical DSA-controlled Midwest Academy.

* Barbara Engel, served with Bernardine Dorhn in 1991 on a committee of the communist front organization, Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights.

* Anne Hallet, signer of a 2008 statement in support of Bill Ayers, active with both Illinois and national ACORN.

* Judy Hertz, involved with Illinois ACORN and the Midwest Academy.

* Elce Redmond, recently close to the Chicago Communist Party and active in the Committees of Correspondence/Democratic Socialists of America dominated Chicago Political Economy Group.

* Mary Scott-Boria, 1998 co-president of the Democratic Socialists of America influenced Progressive Chicago Area Network (PROCAN).

* Ellen Schumer, board member of the Committees of Correspondence/Democratic Socialists of America infiltrated, Obama, Ayers, Dohrn and Earl Durham supported Crossroads Fund.

That Barack Obama has mixed with Alinskyites, communists and socialists for his entire time in Chicago is beyond doubt.

That Barack Obama was mentored in Hawaii from the age of 11 to 18 by communist Frank Marshall Davis is also well documented.

Vernon Jarrett and Earl Durham were both connected with Frank Marshall Davis. Both men and their interconnected circles helped, directly or indirectly, Barack Obama’s rise through the world of Chicago far-left politics.

Would Barack Obama be the leader of the Free World today had it not been for Frank Marshall Davis, Vernon Jarrett, Earl Durham and their Chicago comrades?

What do you think?

Does it matter?
