Obama warns about dangers of market-based systems: 'Compatible with slavery'
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/04/2023 | Jenny Goldsberry

But just because an economic system generated wealth and innovation doesn’t mean it guarantees a good society," Obama said. "Because from the outset, market-based systems have been compatible with slavery, caste systems, colonialization, war, exploration, corruption, fraud, autocracy, the poisoning of our natural environment."

As Obama listed, the audience applauded. The former president went on to credit Democratic governments for "moderating capitalism's excesses" with a "social safety net." According to him, it will take "young leaders to help us think and act anew" about "creating an economic system that supports and sustains our democratic values."

“The quote says “exploration”, I think Obama’s interpreter meant exploitation.”

Probably!

Who IS This Guy? Part I

By Donna Wasson
________________________________________

The America we have always known and loved is dead. Well, nearly dead. Shocked? You shouldn’t be. Most living things die when abused and neglected for too long. Fortunately, there are rare circumstances in which something that has clinically died can be resuscitated if appropriate and aggressive action is taken within a very small window of time. Sometimes it’s too late.

In the vast majority of situations, once something dies it stays that way. Its nature changes from being a vibrant, living, breathing entity to a preternaturally cold thing that stinks of rot and decay, never again to exhibit the beauty it once possessed. This precarious state between life and death is precisely where America stands today.

It’s almost as if our Founding Fathers are hovering in spirit near the ceiling of the emergency room, looking down at the country they worked and fought so hard to give birth to, wondering why in the world we aren’t ‘doing something!’

And there we the people stand, defibrillator paddles in hand, adrenalin syringe poised and ready to inject life back into its heart, shaking our head trying to wake up enough to comprehend the shaky balance between freedom and tyranny in front of us.

Will we allow the patient to peacefully pass away, take off our gloves and wander down the hall to get coffee? Or will we shake ourselves out of our apathy and do absolutely everything we can to save this patient? Yes, it will take hard work. We might break a sweat and blood might have to be spilled, but are we willing to do whatever it takes to reignite that spark of life before it slips away forever?

All of us must ask ourselves if this country, with the freedoms and prosperity we’ve always enjoyed, is worth the effort of saving. Our opportunity to restore America back to her previous glory is rapidly running out. What are we going to do? Do we care anymore?

We foolishly, no make that stupidly, elected a full-fledged communist to be our President, simply because he was young, idealistic, relatively handsome and black, and due to the fawning of the liberal media, that man was literally christened the “Messiah” when he was elected in 2008. So America…how’s that ‘messiah’ working out for you?

In our White House sits the most incredible fraud ever perpetrated on the American people because NO one knows who this guy is! We can’t get a straight answer from him about his past; where he was really born, what his grades were in Columbia, how in the heck could he be eligible for Harvard Law School, and on and on and on…It’s as if some puppet master manufactured an empty suit who stands in front of the microphones, chin raised arrogantly in the air, looking down his nose while he tells the American people lie after bald faced lie.
HELLO?? Tap-tap Is this thing on?? This country is in serious, and I DO mean serious danger!

Let’s take a look at our Marxist-in-Chief. Maybe I can tell you some things you weren’t aware of, and no, these are NOT conspiracy theories. They are proven facts. When one runs for President of the United States of America, it is customary for the American people to be given as much background on the candidate as possible; education, community involvement, religious views, childhood, friends and associates, etc. However, this basic information was withheld by Obama and covered up by the main stream liberal media when he was running for office.

I’ll skip the, ‘Obama’s records are sealed’ business because ‘sealed’ suggests a court order and apparently there aren’t any court orders; he simply refuses to release his records. I do find it curious that there’s a ton of information and papers relating to Mr. Obama that has been ‘misplaced’ or is ‘missing’ and therefore not available for examination. Oh well…it obviously doesn’t matter.

I must, however, mention that the ‘long form birth certificate’ the President finally furnished in April 2011, was overwhelmingly proven by several different, independent experts to be a forgery, and an amateurish one at that. Wonder why the media hasn’t picked up the ball on this and run with it…?

We’ll begin with the light stuff and progress into the more serious issues that surround Mr. Obama. First of all, he is not African-American. Not even close. Barack Obama, Sr. was 1/8 black on his mother’s side, from the Luo tribe in Kenya, and of Arab ancestry on his father’s side. President Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was white.

Contrary to popular opinion, Obama is not the descendant of African slaves purchased by white American plantation owners. Due to his Arabic ancestry, it is much more likely he is a descendant of Arab slave traders. The Arabs have traded and owned slaves for many centuries and are involved in the underground slave market to this day.

Here’s a funny little story you may enjoy from a radio excerpt on the web. Back when Mr. Obama was elected President, but before he was sworn in, a deejay named Mike from WRIF in Detroit, MI, placed a phone call to the Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, Peter Ogego, which was broadcast live. Here’s how the conversation went:

Ogego: Hello?
Mike: Is this Mr. Peter Ogego?
Ogego: Yes, who is this please?
Mike: Mr. Ambassador, this is Mike from WRIF radio in Detroit; just wanted to ask you a couple of questions. How are you?
Ogego: Oh, I am fine, thank you.
Mike: We just want to congratulate you on Barack Obama, our new President. You must be very proud.
Ogego: We are, we really are. We are so proud of the United States for having made history as well.
Mike: One more quick question: President elect Barack Obama’s birthplace over in Kenya, is that going to be a national spot to go visit where he was born?
Ogego: It’s already an attraction. His paternal grandmother is still there.
Mike: But his birthplace, they will put a marker there?
Ogego: It will depend on the government. It is already well known.
Mike: Oh, well thank you so much Mr. Ambassador for talking to us. Have a great day.
Ogego: Thank you as well.

That’s odd. You’d think the Kenyan Ambassador to the United States would know President elect Obama wasn’t born in Kenya; that there isn’t any ‘well known’ spot marking Obama’s place of birth in that country, wouldn’t you?? Did this guy slip up and spill some beans he wasn’t supposed to? Dang! We still don’t have a bona-fide copy of that pesky birth certificate! Oh well…it obviously doesn’t matter. Right?

Then there is that small promotional booklet, written in 1991. It was produced by the literary agency, Acton and Dystel, who represented Mr. Obama at that time, and was meant to be distributed to political and business associates in the publishing industry. It read as follows:

“Barack Obama, the 1st African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.”

The bios were approved by the individuals themselves before the booklet went to press, but how on earth the misstatement that he was born in Kenya was completely overlooked by Obama himself, as well as numerous secretaries, editors and the publishers is just beyond me! Maybe the Kenyan Ambassador to the U.S. told them. Oh well…it obviously doesn’t matter. Right?

And you’ll find this just amazing! Mr. Obama, an unknown, unpublished author, was given a $100,000 advance to write Journeys in Black and White. How lucky is that? However, when that money ran out, and despite failing to produce the agreed upon manuscript, he requested and received ANOTHER $40,000 advance! But instead of finishing the book his publishers wanted, he went on to write the first of his two narcissistic autobiographies, Dreams from My Father.

It’s like Mr. Obama had some fairy god-father sitting on his shoulder because deals like that don’t happen to unknown, unpublished writers. Ever. Really.

Here’s another silly anecdote about Mr. Obama. While speaking at one of his fundraisers on March 30, 2007, he stated, “I was a constitutional law professor which means, unlike the current President, I actually respect the Constitution.” In reality, his real title at the University of Chicago was “senior lecturer,” not professor. Isn’t it ironic that he’s managed to nearly destroy the United States Constitution in the 3.5 short years he has been President? Guess he didn’t respect it after all. Oh well…it obviously doesn’t matter. Right?

This is kind of interesting. Alan Hulton was a mailman from 1962 to 2001 in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. For ten years, he delivered the mail to the home of Tom and Mary Ayers, the parents of Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist who co-founded the Weather Underground. This was a communist revolutionary group who conducted bombings of public buildings in the Washington D.C. area in the 1960’s.

In a sworn affidavit, Mr. Hulton recalls a conversation he had with Mary Ayers. “She was enthusiastically talking to me about this young black student that they were helping out and she referred to him as a foreign student. She mentioned his name, but it was exotic and I didn’t remember it. I was taken aback by how enthusiastic she was about him.” When she referred to ‘helping’ this student, Mr. Hulton understood the Ayers’ were giving this individual financial assistance with his schooling.

Within a year, Mr. Hulton met this person on the sidewalk in front of the Ayers home. He distinctly remembers this because the young man was a light skinned black fellow with ears that stuck out some. Even though he was neatly dressed in casual clothes, it was rather unusual to see a black man walking around that upscale neighborhood.

The young man struck up a conversation with Hulton since they were both at the same house. The guy introduced himself and told Hulton he had taken the train out from Chicago to Glen Ellyn in order to, “thank the Ayers family personally for helping him with his education.” The mailman remembers his name was unusual.

When Hulton asked him what his plans for the future were, he said, “I am going to be President of the United States.” Hulton states, “It came across like this was something that’s already been determined. I was speechless.” Hulton is positive that young man was Barack Obama. The ‘education’ the Ayers were helping him with was most certainly law school.

So. Isn’t that special? A family famous for their communist ideology helps to finance Obama’s education. Oh well…guess it doesn’t matter. Right?

In the book, The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists, by Aaron Klein and Brenda J. Elliott, the authors explain what Mr. Obama meant when he announced his plans to “fundamentally transform America.”

“Barack Obama’s radical associations have an explicit, though publicly concealed agenda of ‘boring from within’ the American democratic and capitalist free enterprise system in order to weaken or destroy it. The radicals have learned well the tactics of concealing their true agenda, cloaking their policies in democratic and populist rhetoric, while admitting among themselves their profound hostility to the American system.”

In, Who IS This Guy? Part II, I’ll explain just how deep Mr. Obama’s roots in communism reach and how his entire paradigm of life was shaped by his association with those whose sole aim is to bring down the United States of America.

This bass turd needs to go the hell home to his beloved Kenya. He’s not an American and we sure as hell don’t need him here.

If you own a person and can compel their work without pay, and buy and sell them without so much as a by-yer-leave, that is not a market-based system. Without choice, there is no market.

Bill O'Reilly, much like Obama himself, is full of pasty brown stuff..!

He’s not entirely wrong about the past, but that was more a message for 100 years ago than for today, something that would have been more relevant in the days of Wilson and the Roosevelts.

Something to be concerned about is the part about creating an apparently new or different economic system. Exploitation, corruption, fraud, autocracy, and the poisoning of our natural enviroment continue under any system, and it’s foolish or malign to think that a less market-based economy would do away with such things. There are also dangers in what the left thinks of as “democratic values”.

"The quote says "exploration", I think Obama's interpreter meant exploitation."

Ah, I see. Thanks. Of course, it wouldn't be surprising to hear a Democrat complain about exploration. I assumed he was criticizing European exploration of the Americas. But, "exploitation" makes more sense in the sentence.

The cartels are bringing in women and children in debt to them, most having to live for years in sex slavery. I’ve also seen reports of companies that were using child slave labor in the last year.

Yet the lefties, including Obama, are all for open borders.

Exactly. In a free market, people freely trade their work for pay.

Wherever slavery exists, it exists because the government permits (or enforces) it.

His whole statement doesn’t make any sense. Does he really believe that “democratic” governments aren’t compatible with war, corruption, etc.?
