So the whole ruse about the Russians meadling in our election, obviously is comming from the white house, but why now? We know the Russians have been spying on us for decades and also have always tried to influence our poltical system. Ted Kennnady actally reached out to the soviets publicly to help him defeat Reagan. So what gives, why now.. ? Why is this susch a big deal now? Could it be perhaps they are hedging in front Trumps inauguration to cement in public opinion they are against communism, and it is Trump who is the communist.. ( sic) , The swamp will soon drained and is going to uncover the real party and people whe are being influenced by the Russians,....Obama and his CIA .....

Dead Red Ted Kennedy colluded with the Soviets to affect the 1984 Presidential Election and ball-less Barry had the nerve to claim that Republicans were colluding with a former head of the KGB.

You ask, why now? Because President Obama wants to leave a big mess for President Trump to have to deal with on day one. A very big mess, knees deep, maybe even active hostilities.

Did not the CPUSA endorse H-> ilo running its own candidate this year?

[ifinnegan]

The mainstream media covered all of this up.

They lied and presented a false product.

[WildHighlander57]

From the article:

“...The best insight into Obama’s political thinking at that time is Dr. John Drew, who knew Obama at Occidental precisely then. Drew headed the campus Marxist organization, and Obama was introduced to him (by Drew’s girlfriend) as a fellow communist. I’ve interviewed Drew numerous times going back to 2007-8. I quote him at length in my book on Frank Marshall Davis, The Communist. ...”

Paul Kengor says Dr. John Drew knew 0 when 0 first went to college at Occidental.

It’s been claimed that nobody remembers 0 from the various schools he attended.

Jimmy E. says:
Columbia’s a commuter school. That’s the way it is at commuter schools in large cities.

However Obama’s Columbia roommate, Phil Boerner remembers him and he wrote an article about him in the Columbia Alumni magazine.

Also the Columbia Sundial, the student magazine of Columbia College published an article written by Barack Obama in March of 1983.

One silver lining about Obama is the assumption that laws will be passed next year demanding all Presidential candidates have a full and complete vetting process akin to the old school serious in depth Top Secret Security Clearance.

It's ridiculous that a person with Obama's background was even allowed to run for office. Same for Hillary for that matter.

Also a believer, as I've said numerous times before, any Presidential candidate needs a complete independent physical exam, lab, X-rays, Scans, drug tests - the works - at a place like Mayo Clinic.

Barack Obama’s CIA director clearly stated that he voted for Gus Hall for president of the United States of America. He voted for the Communist Party.

All the 'news' folks getting the vapors over 'the Rooskies' hacking DNC emails need to take a long hard look at this piece...

Can you provide a direct link to this article? The one shown does not work for me. Thank you.

[reasonisfaith]

Kind of funny how Obama was such a communist and has never renounced it, and has not made the slightest effort to explain how he moved away from such an anti-American ideology. Because he never did move away from it.

But look at him today, eight years in the White House and still powerless to admit his true beliefs.

[reasonisfaith]

Same with Axelrod, Van Jones and all the rest of the communists. Powerless to admit publicly their communist beliefs.

“Did not the CPUSA endorse H-> ilo running its own candidate this year?”

Yes, the Communist Party of the USA (CPUSA) “supported” Hillary for President in 2016, rather than running their own candidate (they don’t use the word “endorse” so they can better lie about it).

My PC “bad”.....

[Yaelle]

The propaganda machine aka mainstream media has such power that people like Obama could lie with impunity and no one batted an eye. Obama didn’t even try to persuade Americans to believe his lies. He was the first president who was obviously lying and not caring that you know he is lying. He was phoning in everything and doing what he wanted / was told by his handlers to do. And the media protected him.

if they love communism so much, why don’t they want an ex KGB guy playing a part in our elections???
