Obama, the African Colonial

American Thinker ^ | June 25, 2009 | L.E. Ikenga

[neverdem]

Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:

First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.

Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.

The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories.  AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).

On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.

The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.

Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.  

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.

Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress".  (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)

Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.

Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.

Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you: 

1. Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to create chaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
2. Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.  
3. Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing. Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?   
4. Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse.  One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
5. Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons.  This speaks for itself.

America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

And another excerpt of the above

~~~~~~~~

The FBI alleges that Abiodun was part of a group that came into being in late 1978 and originally called itself simply “the Family.”

According to court records and statements from captured members who became informers, the Family’s ranks consisted of some two dozen people, both blacks and whites, most of whom had cultivated their ideological fervor as members of groups such as the Sixties-era Black Panther Party and its offshoot, the Black Liberation Army; the Republic of New Afrika; and the Weather Underground.

It was a seemingly odd birth date. By 1978 those militant groups, and the cultural tenor that produced them, had long been moribund. For most Sixties survivors, the era was just that: a period they’d survived, learned from, and moved beyond. Indeed those who remained with the Panthers were devoting their energies to political campaigns in the San Francisco Bay area.

By then Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver had returned from Algerian exile to face charges from a 1968 shootout with police, telling the New York Times: “I think a situation now exists in this country where I can have my day in court.... Anyone who hasn’t changed their views since 1968 is in trouble.”

The Black Liberation Army, forged in the very early Seventies by Panthers committed to armed struggle (many had formerly been aligned with Cleaver), also seemed to have faded away. After claiming responsibility for the murders of several police officers, BLA members became targets of a nationwide manhunt. Some were arrested; others were killed in police gunfights.

In the aftermath of the much-publicized capture of Assata Shakur, little more was heard from them. Meanwhile the Republic of New Afrika, a group dedicated to transforming South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana into a separate black nation, also disappeared from the headlines.

By late 1978 several Weather Underground members were getting press coverage, but for leaving their pasts behind and surrendering to authorities in the amnesty climate of the Carter administration.

But not everyone was so sanguine about closing the door on those wrenching and at times apocalyptic days, and it was those remaining faithful who would make up the Family. If their numbers were small, and if conditions for the overthrow of the U.S. government seemed remote at best — well, that just meant they had to be all the more daring.

After all, hadn’t Fidel Castro begun his revolution by heading into the Sierra Maestra mountains with barely twenty men?

“First of all I wouldn’t admit I was doing any of that, even if I was,” Abiodun said, alluding to her own involvement with Family crimes. Not that she would prove unwilling to discuss such matters, or to vigorously defend them.

As for the Family’s attacks on armored cars: “I don’t consider it armed robbery. I consider it expropriation.... If your cause is just, if you’re at war, then it’s the booty of war.”

The two police officers who were killed by Family members during one of those “expropriations”? “They were protecting the state,” she replied testily. “They were upholding the genocidal and oppressive policies of the United States.

They were soldiers who were at war with us. When I say us, I don’t mean just “us’ in the African community; I mean people of color and poor people.” Nor would Abiodun express much sympathy for the fatal shootings of two Brinks guards. “They had a choice,” she explained. “They chose to protect the money of the state.”

Reflecting on her mindset in 1978, she continued, “I had seen the results of mainstream politics and I knew it wasn’t going to work. I had traveled throughout the country, trying to do it the “correct’ way, within the system. It wasn’t going to happen.”

In her eyes “the United States government had waged war against us,” a situation that demanded an equivalent response: to become a soldier and prepare for battle.

Ten years after fleeing the States for Cuba — almost twenty years after first taking up arms — Nehanda Abiodun is still at war.

In 1972 Abiodun graduated from Columbia University and went to work at a New York City methadone maintenance clinic. Trying to help drug addicts might seem far removed from formulating plans for a revolution but to Abiodun that career path was the catalyst that set her on that political road.

“At the time I thought methadone was a viable way to deal with heroin addiction,” she said. “[Soon] I began to understand the politics surrounding drug addiction, racism, and control.” To her methadone was just another toxic drug, one that purposely kept users incapacitated and reporting to the clinic every day.

“It was a way of, once again, capitalism trying to destroy our lives.” She began clashing with the clinic’s managing doctor, who balked at her attempts to detoxify addicts from heroin and also wean them off methadone.

Abiodun soon found kindred spirits working at an experimental detox program at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx. Under the guidance of Mutulu Shakur, a charismatic Republic of New Afrika member, Lincoln Detox favored acupuncture over methadone, operated as a self-described socialist collective, and viewed the political radicalization of its patients as essential.

For Abiodun, an activist who had been involved with mainstream community groups in Harlem, it was a heady mix:

“There were ex-Panthers, ex-members of the Republic of New Afrika, members of the Young Lords — the Puerto Rican movement. And there were white people who had been involved in SDS [Students for a Democratic Society].”

But to city officials, the presence of these radicals only aggravated an already offensive situation. In November 1978 New York Assemblyman Charles Schumer bitterly complained to the New York Times that “Lincoln Detox has compiled a well-documented record of millions of dollars in unsubstantiated payroll costs, overbilling for patient care and other egregious management failures.”

Mayor Ed Koch subsequently evicted the Lincoln Detox program from Lincoln Hospital, stripped away its autonomy by placing it under hospital management, and had its Shakur-aligned staffers reassigned. Koch later explained that Shakur and his followers “ran it like Che Guevara was their patron saint, with his pictures all over the wall. It wasn’t a hospital; it was a radical cell.”

But as far as Abiodun was concerned, those two concepts — health care and radical politics — needed some sort of fusion. “It was obvious that alternate methods of healing drug and alcohol addictions were not going to be stood for by the status quo,” she recounted.

In her view the city’s actions against Lincoln Detox dramatized the futility of trying to reform a corrupt system: “That’s when I made a conscious decision that I was going to devote my life in a more disciplined way to try bringing about a change in the United States.”

Abiodun joined other former Lincoln Detox staffers in a new collective headed by Mutulu Shakur: the Black Acupuncture Advisory Association of North America (BAAANA), based out of a Harlem brownstone and dedicated to providing health care free from city control. It also was in 1978 that she stopped using her birth name, Cheri Dalton, and chose the moniker Nehanda Abiodun.

“Nehanda” was an ancient spirit that inhabited the human form in order to lead the Zimbabwean people in their independence struggle against the British, while “Abiodun” was a word used in Nigeria to mean “born at the time of war.”

That name change was symbolic — community health care was only one of BAAANA’s activities. Several of the group’s former Black Liberation Army and Republic of New Afrika members would form the core of the Family, and under the leadership of Mutulu Shakur, they began robbing banks.

By late 1979 the Family had drawn in the remaining handful of Weather Underground members who also clung to armed struggle. The group moved up to hitting armored cars. They also sprung Assata Shakur (no relation to Mutulu) from a New Jersey prison at gunpoint and allegedly spirited her to Cuba.

By the summer of 1980, the Family had netted more than $900,000, funds that would ostensibly be used to finance further revolutionary activities. Details of these actions (and the disposition of the money) are still unclear.

Although captured Family members would later proudly refer to several of the robberies as “expropriations,” at the time the group issued no public communiqués. In fact federal authorities were unaware that all the robberies, as well as the springing from prison of Assata Shakur, were committed by one organization.

The Family’s public debut came on October 20, 1981, during the attempted robbery of a Brinks truck in Nyack, New York. Ten members, divided into teams, allegedly were involved in the operation. One team attacked the truck while it was in a parking lot, killing a guard in the process.

More than a million dollars was transferred into a waiting U-Haul, which was soon stopped at a police roadblock. In the shootout that followed, two officers were killed and a third wounded. The FBI believes Abiodun was driving a getaway car with several Family members, all of whom escaped. Another getaway car crashed and all four of its occupants captured.

The apprehended suspects were questioned, and authorities discovered, to their surprise, that one of them was Kathy Boudin, a member of the Weather Underground wanted by the FBI since March 1970, when she was last seen fleeing naked from a Greenwich Village townhouse rocked by an explosion. (The townhouse was being used by the Weather Underground to assemble anti-personnel bombs, allegedly for use against the Fort Dix military base in northern New Jersey; one such bomb accidentally detonated.)

With the dramatic re-emergence of Boudin, authorities realized they had stumbled across more than a simple gang of robbers. Three days later the police, now on high alert, tracked down two more Family members, Sekou Odinga and Mtayari Sundiata, via a license plate spotted during the Brinks heist. A car chase ensued, ending in a Queens warehouse district. After exchanging gunfire with police, Sundiata was killed and Odinga captured.

The Family began to unravel quickly as police uncovered a network of safe houses and supporters; six other Family members were subsequently captured as well.

By 1986, of the members believed directly involved in the Brinks robbery, only Abiodun and Mutulu Shakur remained at large, crisscrossing the country together. Then in February 1986, on a Los Angeles street corner, federal agents tackled Shakur and threw him to the ground. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison. Abiodun, also thought to be in Los Angeles, managed to elude authorities for four more years.

“Someone said to me, ‘Nehanda, if you get caught, it’s a victory for them. But if you get away, it’s a victory for us,’” she recalled. “That’s what did it.”

She won’t say exactly how she managed to reach Cuba, only that the journey allowed her to re-establish a relationship with her estranged mother. “The first time I called her [from Cuba], she hung up.

But the second time she accepted the call. After we’d talked for a minute ...” Her voice trailed off, wavering a bit, as if Abiodun had changed her mind about revisiting the memory. Then a broad smile spread over her face, and she related a later story her mother passed along.

“The FBI went to see her and said, ‘Could you tell us where your daughter is?’

“She said, ‘You know where my daughter is. You’ve been listening to everything that goes on in my house.’

“So they asked her, ‘Did she finish her acupuncture studies?’ because when I went underground, I was six months away from getting my acupuncturist license.

“So she said, ‘Nope, she’s got a Ph.D.’

“The [FBI agent] is like, ‘Oh God, this woman’s finally talking to us, giving us information!’ So they ask her: ‘Can you tell us what she has her degree in?’

“’Of course.’

“’Well, well, what’s her degree in?’

“’Fooling you motherf****ers, obviously!’”

(FBI spokesman Jim Margolin said charges against Abiodun are still standing but further investigation has ended. The Cuban government has not commented publicly on her status in that nation. Abiodun says she is officially classified as a “temporary resident.”)

Not all of Abiodun’s underground compatriots are quite so comfortable with their pasts. Alan Berkman was a doctor indicted as an accessory after the fact in the Brinks robbery case, accused of treating one of the Family member’s gunshot wounds. Berkman jumped bail and, according to authorities, was involved in the armed robbery of a Connecticut supermarket, as well as several bombings of government buildings between 1983 and 1985. Caught in 1985, he served time for the robbery and possession of explosives.

In 1994, after his release, he told the New York Times: “We made some really bad decisions, and I don’t want to justify them. And if you remove the context of the times, then we were crazed people.... We were trying to make radical change in a nonradical time. We became desperate and kept going further out on the limb.”

Also, in the timeframe, in 1988 .. -0 still and forever considered a community organizer .. was ready to go to Harvard. Not knowing the month, it’s hard to pin down the
Miami connection.

However, there were several notable events occurring in
Miami in ‘88.

The NAACP was organizing 3 chapters into one main chapter;
Judge Alcee Hastings was impeached.

~~~~~~~

“In 1981, Hastings was charged with accepting a $150,000 bribe in exchange for a lenient sentence and a return of seized assets for 21 counts of racketeering by Frank and Thomas Romano, and of perjury in his testimony about the case. He was acquitted by a jury after his alleged co-conspirator, William Borders, refused to testify in court (resulting in a jail sentence for Borders).

In 1988, the Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives took up the case, and Hastings was impeached for bribery and perjury by a vote of 413-3. He was then convicted in 1989 by the United States Senate, becoming the sixth federal judge in the history of the United States to be removed from office by the Senate.

The vote on the first article was 69 for and 26 opposed, providing two votes more than the two-thirds of those present that were needed to convict. The first article accused the judge of conspiracy. Conviction on any single article was enough to remove the judge from office.

The Senate vote cut across party lines, with U.S. Senator Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont voting to convict his fellow party member, and U.S. Senator Arlen Specter voting to acquit.[1]” (TYPICAL SPECTER!!!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcee_Hastings

~~~~~~

Also this:

“He is the architect of the “Minority Experience” Management Training Program which was featured in the April 1988 Conference ((in Miami)) of the American Society of Newspaper Editors and “Presstime,” the journal of the American Newspaper Publisher’s Association.

His clients have included: Knight Ridder Institute of Training, USA Today, Newsday, The American Newspaper Publishers Association, The American Society of Newspapers Editors, The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, The Charlotte Observer, Press-Telegram (Long Beach, Ca), The Dade County Public Schools, Metro Dade County, Williamson Cadillac Company, and others.

Previously in his former company, Bob Simms Associates, Inc., he served as a contractor with the U.S. Department of Defense Race Relations Institute at Patrick Air Force Base for four years as a designer of their “field experience.”

His three day program, “The Miami Inner City Minority Experience,” explored the values, culture, strengths and mores of Miami-Dade County’s diverse population. His models offered constructive alternatives for understanding and valuing the contribution of each group.”

It wouldn’t be difficult to imagine that Cheri Dolton, Ayers and -0 could’ve crossed paths in New York.

So hard to know why in Miami. The Kansas address, however, -0 gave to the stranded int’l traveler at Miami Airport, is quite curious.

Remember the stories floating around about Obama's grandparents working for the CIA? Rev Manning says Obama worked for the CIA? One story said the CIA took DNA of the Dunham's and there was no match to Obama. It would also explain how the son of Obama traveled without earning any money in his life. It would also explain all the coverups.

"Again, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham Obama, met in a Russian language class in September 1960."

"....many filled with the dewy eyed idealism of American Cold Warriors who hoped to work as intelligence analysts for the CIA"

"This rationale would prove to only partially correct. English was a common language in Kenya but Russian would serve Obama's intended course of political activity to a higher degree. Obama was a Pro-Soviet Marxist."

YIKES!

"Other students enrolled in the Language course for a variety of reasons, including their support of the Soviet Union.

While just a matter of coincidence, it was at about this time that a young man, who had previously studies Russian in just such a course while serving in the US Marines, who later served at a 'listening post' in Japan where he intercepted Soviet Military transmissions and intrepreted them for the US Government, was returning from the Soviet Union where he had gone to live after renouncing his American citizenship. That young man would become famous in a few short years, 1963 Dallas, Texas, to be exact. Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President John F Kennedy in Dallas in November 1963." <<<<<

He is in the pocket of the Wall Street firms and mortgage security companies that are at the center of the collapse of the real estate bubble. He is closely tied to at least two of the Fannie Mae principals. As Ricky Ricardo would say, "Barack, you got some splaining to do."

Let's start with the numbers. Why is a first term Senator pulling down almost $300,000 a year from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, ©Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, Countrywide Financial, and Washington Mutual?

He has not even completed his fourth year in the Senate and received a total of $1,093,329.00 from these eight companies and their employees. (all data from OpenSecrets.org).

John McCain's numbers, according to OpenSecrets.org for the period 1990-2008 (i.e., 18 years worth of data) only collected $549,584.00.

Want another shocker?

Barack Obama has received more from one source – Goldman Sachs $542,252.00 – than McCain has from all of the companies combined. Who the hell is more beholden to lobbyists?

Did the presidential candidate and the revolutionary terror group cross paths at a violent 1981 anti-Apartheid protest?

posted: October 27, 2008

Barack Obama would have you believe that the bombings by the radical domestic terrorists known as The Weather Underground were something that happened 'when I was eight years old' and with which he had absolutely no connection. And while it is true that their bombings started when Obama was eight years old, they actually continued until he was twenty years old. And, incredibly, the life of Barack Obama and the terror campaign of the Weather Underground nearly intersected on the evening of September 26, 1981 at an anti-Apartheid protest which turned violent at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

I'm tempted to say they may.... <<<<

The Orange Party activities should also track back to Zbigniew Brzezinski. (This is really great investigative work Fred - thanks for all the info!)

Because you have done such great work so far - let me add to your list: Khaddafi financed Odinga’s campaign for President of Kenya. Looks like more than just Obama have Logan Act violations - Brzezinski for sure, Carter also - related to the Palestinians, and I really believe that Brzezinski’s activities as National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter as related to the mujahadeen and the war between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan were at the very least illegal. This rabbit hole goes much much deeper....

Remember in the 70s when the world was talking about global population control? Even as late as 2003 Warren Buffett was a member of a group that supported population control. Then all of a sudden, he dropped that and Bill Gates started donating money to Africa, Warren Buffet joined him, then Oprah Winfrey and several others.

Didn’t they have a secret meeting in Feb 2010 in New York. What was that all about? Are THEY members of “The Council of Nine”? (Not talking about Templars - this predates Templars by MANY thousands of years)

Perhaps the entire CFR is guilty of treason. For all those out there who want to blame the global Jewish Banking Cabal - Illuminati - THIS IS A MUCH OLDER ORGANIZATION THAN JUDAISM ITSELF. Ask yourself what was our TRUE purpose for seeking control of Ancient Babylon? What was there that they/we wanted? What is far more valuable than oil? Or gold?

Fred, when you’re doing your research - remember these people do not believe in G-d, at least any kind of god that most of us are familiar with in normal life. They have no morals. They are utterly ruthless. They will do things that most people consider evil beyond measure.

(Oh, as an aside to the more religious members of the board - many people believe that the Ark of the Covenant is a communication device with which to contact other planets. They also believe that it is hidden in Axum, Ethiopia. Take that as an invitation to another area of research).

[investigateworld]

As I always say: Follow the money. While the Dunhams were upper income, it takes really deep pockets for Harvard, Columbia, international travel. And we know for The One's own writings, job holding wasn't a big thing for him.

Of course his supporters, just don't WANT to know.

And these people are breeding?

The problem is when we try to fill in the gaps?

Then it's just speculation time.

[hennie pennie]

IF he was in "Pockey-stahn" doing translations for the CIA, and again & again the "Tollley-bahn" is mentioned in his activities as a covert CIA sp00k, wouldn't you think that at least Dr. Zawahiri would have humorously remarked on same?

I mean.... surely IF he'd been that involved, some of them are still alive today??

The primary reason that I believe he's been undercover since high school is that it's VERY obvious that none of our spy agents care less about the missing long form birth certificate and obviously do not care where he was born.

[investigateworld]

Kind of a clue eh?

[hennie pennie]

Yep, a major clue when the spy agencies could care less and no retired sp00ks come forward in protest about a foreign born prez, in direct violation of the eligibility requirements.

And the belated manner in which the Canadian Government made Barry's bio a top secret document requiring very high level security clearance simply was the cute liddle decor atop the frosting on the cake.

[nolongerademocrat]

They only think they are in control. Make no mistake, their character flaws were analyzed and are now being used.

[investigateworld]

Yep, a major clue when the spy agencies could care less and no retired sp00ks come forward in protest about a foreign born prez, in direct violation of the eligibility requirements.

And that's the very reason I think Obama is "Compromised/controlled", (and the Wall Street money that poured in.)

I say Malcolm X for the daddy betting pool.

I started to RE-read this entire thread, and as an aside, pretty off-topic, one thing that keeps intruding upon my consciousness as I RE-read these postings for about the fourth time... is that I am really surprised that noone has ever made the accusation that Oprah Winfrey is working for the CIA.

Elsewise, how could SHE have ever gone so very far, with really, SO very little??? How does someone like her with a meager high school education become the big TV star, richest woman in the world???

It doesn't make sense, particularly since she obviously isn't very bright -- at least to me, it seems that she actually BELIEVES in all that insipid New Age Positivity sappy irrational paradigm which has contributed so much to the dumbing down of America.

Her handlers would have such an easy time with one such as her.....

Maybe she worked as an au pair in Chicago for more than one summer. Her uncle was a college professor there - what do we know about his family?
