While the level of questioning has not reached outrage quite yet (though it certainly should) more in the media are now asking why the Obama administration – including the president himself, repeatedly told a tale so easily proven false regarding the fatal attacks against Americans in the Middle East.
EXCERPT:
Permanent Spin
For nine days, the Obama administration made a case that virtually everyone understood was untrue: that the killing of our ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi, Libya, was a random, spontaneous act of individuals upset about an online video—an unpredictable attack on a well-protected compound that had nothing do to with the eleventh anniversary of 9/11.
…White House press secretary Jay Carney not only denied that the attacks had anything to do with the anniversary of 9/11 but scolded reporters who, citing the administration’s own pre-9/11 boasts about its security preparations for the anniversary, made the connection. “I think that you’re conveniently conflating two things,” Carney snapped, “which is the anniversary of 9/11 and the incidents that took place, which are under investigation.”
Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. Intelligence officials understood immediately that the attacks took place on 9/11 for a reason. The ambassador, in a country that faces a growing al Qaeda threat, had virtually no security. The two contractors killed in the attacks were not part of the ambassador’s security detail, and there were not, in fact, “many other colleagues” working security with them.
So we are left with this: Four Americans were killed in a premeditated terrorist attack on the eleventh anniversary of 9/11, and for more than a week the Obama administration misled the country about what happened.
This isn’t just a problem. It’s a scandal. LINK

Paulson: Why Did The White House Take So Long To Admit Libya Attack Was Terrorism?
After the deadly attack on the United States Embassy in Libya, it was apparent to many that the attack was premeditated and designed to kill Americans – not to protest an amateur-made movie that mocked Islam and disrespected Mohammad. The militant 9-11 attackers totally achieved their goal by leaving the United States Embassy in shambles with charred and blood-stained walls as well as a trail of death.
Yet the current administration in the United States government insisted otherwise. President Barack Obama, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and White House Press Secretary Jay Carney led the way by denouncing those who dared state the obvious version of what had happened in Benghazi, Libya – that it was about terrorism and not about the anti-Mohammad film.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney finally telling reporters a week after the incident, “It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” is too little – far too late.
…there needs to be a full investigation as to why those present in the attacked-United States Embassies weren’t forewarned of the attacks as evidence that there was prior knowledge of the attacks grows. LINK

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: ” Barack Obama – The Butcher of Benghazi.”
Could the mainstream be really be awakening? (CYA, at last?)
The link to the CBS/Paulson article is remarkably straightforward stating: “Our leaders told the world that we are a nation led by either ignorance via doubt or by liars.”
Huffington posts on Anderson Cooper/CNN having reported information obtained in slain Ambassador Stevens’ personal journal pertaining to his security concerns.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/22/cnn-christopher-stevens-personal-journal-libya_n_1905650.html?1348324012
And ABC’s Jake Tapper has been observed breaking from the herd, albeit ever so slowly over the past couple months.
If the noose of damning questions tightens, will Zero and his cornered rats resort to the extreme measures so fearfully predicted, if not anticipated, by the Insiders?
The headlines should have been:
9/11 TERRORIST ATTACK AGAIN!
ACT OF WAR WITH KILLING OF US AMBASSADOR
EX-GITMO INVOLVED
Instead we got headlines about Romney’s “gaffe”.
The Obama propagandists won the day.
Interestingly the foreign press got it right from the beginning.
The implications of this incompetence are nightmarish. What if we were being attacked – by a foreign enemy? Will Obama think they wouldn’t dare? Will he misconstrue a national disaster – thinking that it’s just a random event? It takes a week for him to figure out what was obvious to everybody but him and his feckless staff?
These will be the most dangerous 4 months in American history – waiting for the Obama administration to leave office, so that we have the right people in place, so that we won’t be taken off-guard by a surprise attack.
Frightening – absolutely terrifying.
“What if we were being attacked by a foreign enemy”?… Is this not his standard methodology: to provoke the Islamists, get them to attack us on our own soil, then declare martial law, give the madmen their way (as well as his own), and destroy this nation? NOTHING is past this creature (I can’t cal him a man)…NOTHING.
No, I’m speaking of something far more serious, more lethal.
If one cannot be trusted in small things, one cannot be trusted in big things. And if Obama cannot perceive the truth about the Libyan attack after a week, how could he respond to an all-out attack from a foreign enemy?
We are in mortal danger. The enemy who chose Obama did so for a reason.
Ever heard of Libya’s Green Resistance? Neither had I till recently. And I still don’t have a handle on it, but there is so much we dc not know.
Not vouching for this site at all, but you can check this out, or even do an image search for Libya’s Green Resistance to see just how many “players” there are in this mess.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/libyas-green-resistance-did-it-and-nato-powers-are-covering-up/
The attacks were certainly not random or spontaneous.
Well they are only about FOUR YEARS TOO LATE!!!! Everything about this rotten administration has been scandalous and duplicitous with Obama LYING at every turn (even on Univision the other day he said F&F was a Bush initiated policy) and serious, dangerous damage has been inflicted on this country! I hope the media is getting some internal data that Obama is losing and this is all about CYA. Well IMHO, the media have been willing accomplices to this disgusting infiltration of corruption of our government and the next best thing to Obama losing in November will be the demise of the palace guard stenographers!!
The implications of the cover-up lead all the way to the top where the buck should stop but never does. Why? Is it because the press is whitewashing this, and many other, proofs of presidential incompetence and failure to lead? Or perhaps investigators have run up against the usual firewall, Eric Holder? Is that why they wanted the DOJ to investigate this crime as well, to redact the truth of another gunrunning scandal where another 4 Americans were killed?
Deny. Deflect. Project.
It’s about time someone in this administration is not only held accountable for their acts, or failures to act, but also about time someone tells the truth.
If it was so “self-evident” that it was a terrorist attack on 9/11, why didn’t Jay Carney say that from the beginning? Guess it wasn’t as ‘self-evident’ to Jay in the beginning.
Why doesn’t someone press him on his statements and then move up the food chain to the Oval Office?
Seems Carney has been caught in his own ‘self-evident’ lies…or the lies from Director of Communications, Daniel Pfeiffer, who seems to be failing in keeping the communications from the White House, at the very least, consistent.
Wonder how far the press will go to cover Carney’s, Daniel’s, Rice’s, Hitlery’s and Barry’s collective asses?
Where the hell is Axelrodent? Has someone gagged him for the last 10 days?
Anyone taking bets that questions concerning the attacks in Benghazi and American Embassies around the world will NOT be posed during the debates? Obviously this subject matter doesn’t qualify for softball debate games.
The third debate, scheduled for October 22, be solely about foreign policy. If somehow questions from the panel about 9/11/12, Embassy attacks, Muslim demonstrations, a dead Ambassador to Libya, and desecrated American flags around the globe – issues, which by virtue of their very existence evidence the administration’s failed foreign policies – manage to elude Dear Leader, surely Mitt Romney will correct the situation.
While a lot can happen in the next 30 days, the trend is that conditions will only deteriorate – much to BarackHusseinObama’s disadvantage.
This speech won’t help matters. ‘Good grief’ is an understatement:
http://weaselzippers.us/2012/09/22/no-joke-obama-to-condemn-mohammed-film-during-his-u-n-speech/
Per National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor, in a memo on Obama’s upcoming U.N. speech: “It’s clear that the United States is in a stronger position than we were when he took office.”
This is not credible.
The Big Lie is imploding into a joke.

Un-f&$#-ing believable. No doubt they are Marxists now. Telling the lie often enough so that THEY will believe it? Not only is Barry and his administration a BAD joke, they are the lame punchline. Can you imagine what the world thinks of us now? From 1st to worst joke. Please tell me he can be tried for treason.
Whether he wins or loses, on November 7, 2012 he’s got to be frog-marched off the golf course, or basketball court, or out of a TV studio . . .
A lame duck Zero will do as much damage to America as he will in another full term. Scorched earth . . . starting with the reported release NOW of all the Gitmo detainees. NOW of all times?

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/09/22/Obama-to-Release-One-Third-of-Gitmo-Inmates
The “why” is pretty simple, I think: Obama’s entire foreign policy was “Bush snd people like him caused all the region’s problems with their evil and I’M NOT BUSH, I’M DIFFERENT!” So in his puny mind, the fact that he was “different” would solve everything; his basic premise is that the Muslims are all peaceful, friendly people who are just like us but misunderstood because of Bush-like policies. He would show them he was different and they would quickly come around to liking us, we would all be friends, unicorn poop would become edible, etc, etc. Naive and stupid, yes, but I believe this is what he thinks.
So Obama could JUST NOT BELIEVE that anti-American violence would break out after he was the un-Bush for three and a half years. In his mind, IT COULDN’T BE that he was wrong, so there had to be another explanation… the FILM! A demonstration that “got out of hand!” Someone put tobasco in the couscous! Anything because a terrorist attack is just NOT POSSIBLE with the pro-Muslim, always bowing un-Bush in office. NOT POSSIBLE!
Agree with most everything you’ve written. BUT…there is a possibility that Obama was being deliberately misled by some of his own advisors, who wanted him to believe the story – and he wanted to believe their story, too. That would mean that this President is lacking both advisors and personal competence. Remember his “principled” opposition to the war in Iraq? It was not clairvoyance, but blind luck and a great measure of corruption that led him to that stand. He was merely at the right place at the right time, with the right backers (Rezko, Auchi.)
The other possibility? (One should always make room for other possibilities)
He’s listening to his wife’s voodoo-practicing mother, or some Hollyweird psychic from Clooney, or perhaps he’s getting advice from the Ghostwhisperer.
This also represents another danger for our nation – that the President is under the influence of know-nothing whackjobs who lay Tarot cards, or reads palms, or interpret chicken entrails. His national security talent is about as credible as Jon Corzine’s most recent business record.
All of that is possible because – as you pointed out – his massive case of narcicisstic delusion leads him to believe that no one could reasonably dislike him! As you said: “NOT POSSIBLE!”
Delusion is a dangerous thing.
Narcissism is Barry’s dangerous thing. I think his dislike for Bush is because Bush went after his ‘financial’ bagman in Iraq. Why won’t the LA Times release that Auchi tape? Not only that, Barry is a closet Muslim. Or is he an outted closet Christian??? Wouldn’t look good to go against his M-Bros in da hood, especially after hosting them at the White House! Barry is playing to the Muslims trying to curry favor after getting Mubarak and Gaddafi out. He’s nothing but a tool…to the Middle East and to his ‘handlers’. Why else would he keep apologizing? He’s trying to save his own ass, not the US!
Also, where did the voo-doo info on Momma Mooch come from? Lame Cherry?
It came from Kristen Atkinson, a blogger over at the Townhall website( now been scrubbed from Townhall- I did read it on Townhall), who posted an article claiming Marian Robinson, the 72-year old first grandmother who lives at the White House, is practicing Santería, otherwise known as voodoo. A close friend of Michelle Obama says the president became furious at his mother-in-law.
Obama may be outraged by a voodoo priestess chanting in the White House, but paganism at the highest levels of government is nothing new.
According to Atkinson, Marian Robinson became increasingly frustrated as her husband, Fraser Robinson, was hobbled by multiple sclerosis in the late 1980s, and turned to “Santeria in a desperate hope” to cure him. “Michelle put her foot down when she heard that her mother took her dad to ceremonies where they did spells and trances, and sacrificed animals, chickens and goats I think. But Marian was desperate and kept going anyway, even when her husband was to sick to go with her. I don’t think the president knew anything about this earlier because it was before they met. Michelle and Craig (her brother) wanted to close the book on this and never talked about it again after their father died in 1991.”
Robinson, concerned about her failing health, invited an old friend from Chicago to visit her at the White House and the friend performed a Santeria ceremony in the residence. “No voodoo in the White House. Absolutely. I don’t care what you call it,” Obama allegedly declared.
Obama may be outraged by a voodoo priestess chanting in the White House, but paganism at the highest levels of government is nothing new or particularly shocking.
Charlotte – I’d read that. Thanks for posting it. Obama may have wanted his mother-in-law’s voodoo practices stopped, but that’s most likely because it’s not Islam-sanctioned, or because it’s a liability.
I have two suspicions about who may be advising Obama:
A muslim religious figure (like the ones who advise Iran’s Achmadinnerscold, Mezbah-Yadzi:http://www.mesi.org.uk/ViewNews.aspx?ArticleId=3109) or the aforementioned Hollyweird types.
WHI says that Obama is an atheist – but I’ve seen in my short life that atheists are frequent users of the occult when they are pressed or shaken or desperate. Mark my words: he IS desperate right now.
A question: Obama misses most of his security briefings. Is there a need to be briefed? Do they even bother misleading him? Or do they just not bother telling him in the first place? Maybe he just always “assumes” that no matter what happens, all is right in the world, because “he” is in charge.
Also, I do think that the admin. thinks the American public is stupid. Remember, Hillary tried to pass of the photos of the Ambassador being dragged through the streets as “he’s being taken to the hospital.”
Generally, I don’t think that having a government who thinks they are your “betters” is ever a good sign.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2207138/Anderson-Cooper-admits-CNN-slain-American-ambassadors-journal-inside-U-S-consulate-Libya-secretly-used-reporting.html
Anderson Cooper did a brave thing. He could have hidden this information
from the world for partisan reasons ala LA Times and the Khalidi tape. The State department and the left are furious with him as it puts Obama and the State department in a bad light. It may be the information that totally discredits any possible spin from the white house/ State Department.
One may argue about the ethics however this information was of such importance in as far as the right of the public to know that he was duty bound to disclose it.
How do you think the person who illegally made the Romney video would get away with it? On exactly the same grounds. The public has a right to know.
I’ve never been able to find a tip link or a way to e-mail UM directly so I’ll just post this to the top thread and hope you all see it.
It will leave your jaw hanging – and explain SO many things about the Muslim-in-Chief:

The corrupt road to The man who calls himself Obama…the purchase of a candidate by Anti-American IslamoCommunists forces….by the purchase of Black Americans
FRANK MIELE/Daily Inter Lake
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.
Though by no means definitive, it provides an interesting insight, at least, into how Chicago politics intersected with the black power movement and Middle Eastern money at a certain point in time. Whether it has any greater relevance to the 2012 presidential campaign, I will allow the reader to decide. In order to accomplish that, I will also take the unusual step of providing footnotes and the end of this column so that each of you can do the investigative work for yourself.
The column itself had appeared in the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Evening Independent of Nov. 6, but it was the work of a veteran newspaperman who at the time was working for the prestigious Chicago Tribune and whose work was syndicated nationally. (1)
So far as I know, this 1979 column has not previously been brought to light, but it certainly should be because it broke some very interesting news about the “rumored billions of dollars the oil-rich Arab nations are supposed to unload on American black leaders and minority institutions.” The columnist quoted a black San Francisco lawyer who said, “It’s not just a rumor. Aid will come from some of the Arab states.”
Well, if anyone would know, it would have been this lawyer — Donald Warden, who had helped defend OPEC in an antitrust suit that year and had developed significant ties with the Saudi royal family since becoming a Muslim and taking the name Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour.
Al-Mansour told Jarrett that he had presented the “proposed special aid program to OPEC Secretary-General Rene Ortiz” in September 1979, and that “the first indications of Arab help to American blacks may be announced in December.” Maybe so, but I looked high and wide in newspapers in 1979 and 1980 for any other stories about this aid package funded by OPEC and never found it verified.
You would think that a program to spend “$20 million per year for 10 years to aid 10,000 minority students each year, including blacks, Arabs, Hispanics, Asians and native Americans” would be referred to somewhere other than one obscure 1979 column, but I haven’t found any other word of it.
Maybe the funding materialized, maybe it didn’t, but what’s particularly noteworthy is that this black Islamic lawyer who “for several years [had] urged the rich Arab kingdoms to cultivate stronger ties to America’s blacks by supporting black businesses and black colleges and giving financial help to disadvantaged students” was also the same lawyer who allegedly helped arrange for the entrance of Barack Obama into Harvard Law School in 1988.
That tale had surfaced in 2008 when Barack Obama was a candidate for president and one of the leading black politicians in the country — Percy Sutton of New York — told an interviewer on a Manhattan TV news show that he had been introduced to Obama “by a friend who was raising money for him. The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas. He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.” (2)
This peculiar revelation engendered a small hubbub in 2008, but was quickly dismissed by the Obama campaign as the ditherings of a senile old man. I don’t believe President Obama himself ever denied the story personally, and no one has explained how Sutton came up with this elaborate story about Khalid al-Mansour if it had no basis in fact, and in any case al-Mansour no longer denies it. (3)
Back in 2008, while actually supporting Hillary Clinton in the New York primary, Percy Sutton was interviewed on TV and said that he thought Barack Obama was nonetheless quite impressive. He also revealed that he had first heard about Obama 20 years previously in a letter where al-Mansour wrote, “there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”
Sutton concluded in the interview, “I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly.”
Until now, there really has been no context within which to understand the Sutton story or to buttress it as a reliable account other than the reputation of Sutton himself as one of the top leaders of the black community in Manhattan — himself a noted attorney, businessman and politician. But the new discovery of the 1979 column that established Khalid al-Mansour’s interest in creating a fund to give “financial help to disadvantaged students” does provide a clue that he might indeed — along with his patron, Arab Prince Alwaleed bin Talal — have taken an interest in the “genius” Barack Obama.
It also might be considered more than coincidence that the author of that 1979 newspaper column was from Chicago, where Barack Obama settled in 1986 a few years after his stint at Columbia University. It is certainly surprising that the author of that column was none other than Vernon Jarrett, the future (and later former) father-in-law of Valerie Jarrett, who ultimately became the consigliatore of the Obama White House.
It is also noteworthy that Vernon Jarrett was one of the best friends and a colleague of Frank Marshall Davis, the former Chicago journalist and lifelong communist who moved to Hawaii in the late 1940s and years later befriended Stanley and Madelyn Dunham and their daughter Stanley Ann, the mother of Barack Obama. (4)
And to anyone who has the modicum of a spark of curiosity, it is surely intriguing that Frank Davis took an active role in the rearing of young Barack from the age of 10 until he turned 18 and left Hawaii for his first year of college at Occidental College in Los Angeles. (5)
It is also at least suggestive that Obama began that college education as a member of the highly international student body of Occidental College in 1979, the same year when Vernon Jarrett was touting the college aid program being funded by OPEC and possibly Prince Alwaleed. The fact that President Obama has studiously avoided releasing records of his college years is suggestive also, but has no evidentiary value in the present discussion. (6)
The nature of Vernon Jarrett’s relationship to Khalid al-Mansour is likewise uncertain, but it is very likely they had known each other as leaders of the black civil-rights movement for many years. Under his previous name of Donald Warden, al-Mansour had founded the African American Association in the Bay Area in the early 1960s. He had also helped inspire the Black Panther Party through his association with black-power leaders such as Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. Seale, of course, had a famous association with Chicago later, when he was part of the Chicago Eight charged with conspiracy and inciting to riot at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. (7)
In any case, it doesn’t matter if Vernon Jarrett and Khalid al-Mansour had a personal relationship or not. For some reason, al-Mansour had used Jarrett as the messenger to get out the word about his efforts to funnel Arab oil money to black students and minority colleges at about the same time that Barack Obama began his college career. That doesn’t mean either Jarrett or al-Mansour knew Obama at that time, but eight years later when Obama was a rising star in Chicago, a friend of Bill Ayers and Valerie Jarrett, it is much more likely that he did indeed have the assistance of very important people in his meteoric rise. The words of Percy Sutton about what al-Mansour told him regarding Obama certainly have the ring of truth:
“His introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends back there… Would you please write a letter in support of him? (That’s before Obama decided to run.) … and he interjected the advice that Obama had passed the requirements, had taken and passed the requirements necessary to get into Harvard and become president of the Law Review. That’s before he ever ran for anything. And I wrote a letter in support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them that I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly…” (2)
What possible significance could all this have? We may never know, but Vernon Jarrett, back in 1979, thought that OPEC’s intention to fund black and minority education would have huge political ramifications. As Jarrett wrote:
“The question of financial aid from the Arabs could raise a few extremely interesting questions both inside and outside the black community. If such contributions are large and sustained, the money angle may become secondary to the sociology and politics of such an occurrence.” (1)
He was, of course, right.
As Jarrett suggests, any black institutions and presumably individuals who became beholden to Arab money might be expected to continue the trend of American “new black advocacy for a homeland for the Palestinians” and presumably for other Islamic and Arabic interests in the Middle East. For that reason, if for no other, the question of how President Obama’s college education was funded is of considerably more than academic interest.

A FURTHER PERSPECTIVE
All in the (Political) Family
By PAUL KENGOR on 8.3.12 @ 6:08AM
Obama’s Marxist Mentor and Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod.
A new book by Richard Miniter contends that it was Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s top adviser, who repeatedly urged President Obama not to take out Osama bin Laden, prompting Obama to cancel the mission three times.
Kudos to Miniter for this revelation. A year ago, I had written a feature article for American Spectator on Valerie Jarrett. One piece of information I had, but couldn’t confirm, was precisely this. Good work by Richard Miniter.
Even then, there’s much more to the rich background on Jarrett and Obama — not to mention the third leg of the current troika that gave us “hope and change,” David Axelrod.
As readers of this site are aware, I’ve just published a book on Barack Obama’s mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. No president in the long history of this republic has had a mentor like Obama’s. Frank Marshall Davis was a literal — and I mean literal – card-carrying member of Communist Party USA. I publish Davis’s Communist Party number (47544) on the cover of the book, and fill an appendix with declassified FBI documents and Soviet archival material. Those documents reveal a Davis so suspicious that he was placed on the federal government’s Security Index, which meant he could be immediately arrested if war broke out between the United States and USSR. With that sort of pro-Soviet influence throughout his adolescence (1970-79), Barack Obama would have trouble getting a security clearance for an entry-level government job, let alone sit in the Oval Office.
Nonetheless, Obama sits in that Oval Office today thanks to four factors: the American voter, a scandalously biased media, a skillful election strategy charted by David Axelrod, and the careful nurturing of Valerie Jarrett.
And most remarkable, Axelrod’s and Jarrett’s backgrounds and mentors connect to Obama’s background and mentor in a most intriguing way. It’s a stunning story, hard to believe. Follow closely:
Frank Marshall Davis, like Obama, found himself, his career, and his political calling in Chicago. It was there in the 1940s that he first began working for communist front-groups, joined the Communist Party, and wrote for and became the founding editor-in-chief of theChicago Star, the city’s Communist Party newspaper — where Davis kicked off the newspaper with a column (July 6, 1946) pledging to advance “fundamental change.” In these capacities, Davis, Obama’s mentor, would work with the political ancestors of David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett.
I lay that out at length in the book, with all the documentation. Here, I will try to be brief and to the point.
In 1940, Frank Marshall Davis got involved in one of the worst communist fronts: the American Peace Mobilization. Congress called the group “one of the most notorious and blatantly communist fronts ever organized in this country” and “one of the most seditious organizations which ever operated in the United States.” The group’s objective (in 1940) was to stop the United States from entering the war against Hitler. Why? Because Hitler had signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin, and American communists, being loyal Soviet patriots who literally swore allegiance to the USSR, saluted Stalin.
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.
And what about David Axelrod?
Axelrod is a native New Yorker who, in the 1970s, found himself and his political calling in Chicago, where he went to college and worked for newspapers as a political journalist. (See my March 2012Spectator profile of David Axelrod.) There, Axelrod was mentored by the Canter family, namely David Canter. The Canter family’s Soviet/communist roots were deep. David and his family had lived in Moscow just before Chicago. His father, Harry Canter, worked there as an official translator of Lenin’s writings. Harry, who had been secretary of the Boston Communist Party and ran for governor of Massachusetts on the Communist Party ticket, did this as a literal employee of Stalin’s government.
Page: 1 2 >
(Page 2 of 2)
After that service to the Soviets, the Canter crew headed to Chicago, a hot-bed for American communists. They worked with Frank Marshall Davis in writing communist propaganda for the Packinghouse Workers Union, in teaching at the communist Abraham Lincoln School, in marching in Chicago’s May Day parades, and in the pages of the Chicago Star. In fact, when Davis and his comrades sold the Chicago Star to something called the Progressive Publishing Company in September 1948, Harry Canter was one of the small group of board members doing the purchase.
There are several key names here. Let me sum up:
Frank Marshall Davis mentored Barack Obama. The Canter family mentored David Axelrod, who got Obama elected president. Vernon Jarrett’s daughter-in-law is Valerie Jarrett, and Robert Taylor was Valerie Jarrett’s grandfather. Jarrett is Obama’s top presidential adviser. In other words, Obama’s political ancestor worked with the political ancestors of Axelrod and Jarrett.
Oh, and they all called themselves progressives.
Amazing, but true. You can’t make this up. The ghosts of Chicago’s political past are alive and well in Washington today. Today’s political family at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue can be traced back to the political family of Chicago in the 1940s. It’s all in the (political) family.
This is the fundamental change an uninformed electorate — thanks especially to a woefully biased media — elected in November 2008.
@ AmericaTheBeautiful
Thanks for a very informative comment!!
In 2009 there were a lot of questions about Obama & who he managed to get into Harvard …… Percy Sutton’s comments about being asked by (Donald Warden) Dr. Khalid al-Mansour to write to Harvard Law School to promote this ‘genius’ Barack Obama.
I read about Percy Sutton on the blogs …..Seems to me after he made these comments about helping Obama get into Harvard….. He was labeled a “senile old man” then Dec 26th he died….. I had questions about how quickly after his comments he passed away!!
I wonder: will there be another star on the wall? I also wonder: why is the President being tolerated by those who place stars?
For those that aren’t aware, the Trilateral Commission is part of the NWO scheme going on and control of our policies, etc. Excerpts:
“The Trilateral Commission is international and is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the U.S.” – Sen. Barry Goldwater
When looking at the facts on the Trilateral Commission, it’s important to understand that it was set up as a front for the exact same goals of the Council on Foreign Relations.
The Trilateral Commission is another tool used by the leaders of the CFR shadow government.
The world’s elite utilizes secretive organizations such as the Committee of 300 structure, the CFR, the Bilderberg Society, and the Trilateral Commission to further its ultimate goal of global domination.
The facts on the Trilateral Commission and its big brother, the Council on Foreign Relations, lead us to see that the elite has and is still in charge of moving us toward a totalitarian New World Order.”

Think this written in 2007. I saw this post today on Breitbart w/the story of the release of GITMO prisoners. My guess is, as everything else that has been subversive, most Americans don’t know about this either..along with the Fed., etc. Now that Ron Paul has pushed that & Romney, others seem to want to also – if we all really push for all these people to be investigated & exposed, perhaps a miracle will happen & it will finally get done after Obama regime is gone. That will take another miracle b/c it seems they are so powerful & I’m sure use the same methods of threats, media, etc. that the Obama regime has with such success. Ppl didn’t use to pay attention but now they are. Keep praying…………..
Thanks TandJ….quite a read…more of Bush reveal…do you suppose the Bush visit in a wheelchair to Obama in the WH was to deliver a message? With Jeb in tow? Or just more collusion ?
A bit of bolster found here…

Aw….how we miss Reagan…..wish that would go viral. “always asking if God is on our side….should ask are YOU on HIS side”….how profound.
Visit to Obama — your guess is as good as mine. I was upset to see how “strong” Reagan succumbed to the media ploy or whatever else and picked Bush???? I didn’t get that. More than just the media stories? What could have been so successful at changing his mind, which he was very firmly set in. Wonder what Romney knows or believes re all this stuff?
Only know “those” people are capable of anything…
Ann Romney may have been a shot across the bow…may the good Lord protect them.
We are gathered in His name in prayer….yet very worried.
….forlorn as many over WHI’s last remarks…resolve continues to buck haunting I suppose.
Hard to imagine the Saudi’s could manage this IslamoCommunist destruction of the USA
Disgusted by the feckless leadership across the country and in DC and all it’s agencies in particular.

Why Obama’s College Records Matter
By Monte Kuligowski
In context of the “mounting pressure” for Mitt Romney to provide more tax and employment records, a reporter recently asked White House Press Secretary Jay Carney whether President Obama would set an example in transparency and release some of his records that critics have asked for.
That question was fingernails on the chalkboard to Carney. ”Is that from Donald Trump?” Carey sneered, and laughed — this time conspicuously alone.
This time it was Carney’s own boss who had recently opened the door by demanding that Romney be an “open book” on personal finances.
Carney responded with the audacious claim that Obama is an “open book” and has a record of “unprecedented transparency.” And the sky is green, and the grass is blue. Carney also suggested that the question wasn’t specific.
When the reporter got specific and asked if Obama would release his college records, Carney replied: “Right, this is the Donald Trump question. It is preposterous. This is from the guy who insisted he didn’t believe the president was born in the United States.”
Asking for college records is preposterous?
Writing for the TheBlaze.com, Jason Howertonsuggests:
Carney was obviously trying to lump those who are interested to see what types of college coursesObama took in college into the same category as ‘birthers.’ However, many who want to see the president’s college transcripts say wanting to see the president’s transcripts has nothing to do with his citizenship. Rather they argue it could help provide insight into the types of courses Obama sought out while in college, which some believe promoted radical ideologies.
Yes, many want to see Obama’s college records for grades and courses (as with G.W. Bush and others). But in Obama’s case, the primary reason to see his college applications is to learn whether the president applied for college in the U.S. as a foreign student.
Why should the public want to confirm that Obama did not register as a foreigner while not having the same concern for other candidates? Read on.
Most of the basic records of Barack Obama’s past — vital, hospital, medical, education, passport, draft registration, et al. — are guarded as securely as the gold at Fort Knox. Notably, two documents — elementary school and Selective Serviceregistrations – were obtained by independent citizens. And Breitbart.com independently obtained an interesting biographical brochure produced in 1991 by Obama’s literary publicist.
The Associated Press (AP) was able to obtain a copy of Obama’s elementary school registrationfrom the Fransiskus Assisi School in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2007.
And Stephen Coffman, a retired Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, obtained a copy of Obama’s Selective Service registration form via a FOIA request just days prior to the 2008 election.
From the 2012 Breitbart discovery we learned that Mr. Obama presented himself in 1991 as “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii.” From the AP discovery we learned that Barack Obama was registered for school in Jakarta as a citizen of Indonesia named Barry Soetoro. And from theSelective Service registration form we learned that the same form had been forged.
Barack Obama lived in Islamic Indonesia as Barry Soetoro with his mother and stepfather, Lolo Soetoro, and attended school in Jakarta from ages 6 to 10. It’s beyond amazing that the general public is not aware of that fact. Last Thanksgiving I was with my in-laws and was surprised to learn that they had never heard that Obama lived in Indonesia as Barry Soetoro. And they are not uneducated people.
The “mainstream” media do not want to touch those facts.
The big question is whether little Barry was adoptedby his stepfather, who was a citizen of Indonesia. There is reason to believe that he was and that in order to have been enrolled in public school in Indonesia, Barry had to be a citizen. Aaron Klein of WND.com notes that ”[a]fter attending the Assisi Primary School, Obama later was enrolled at SDN Menteng 1, an Indonesian public school.”
That Obama might have been a citizen of Indonesia and later presented himself as a foreign student in the U.S. is no “birther” conspiracy theory. It’s the gravamen of the college records question.
Let’s stop right here and stipulate for the sake of argument that Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii.
But even with the stipulation, we nevertheless have a major problem with Obama’s records and staunch secrecy.
Of the few records that we have seen relating to Obama’s past all are problematic and they point to a potential citizenship problem for Barack Hussein Obama II aka Barry Soetoro.
Mr. Obama’s Arizona nemesis, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, is readily dismissed by the establishment press as a man with an ax to grind — but his control-test findings have not been disproven.
Once again, the general public remains in the dark because the national one-voice media will not touch the story.
Sherriff Joe’s law enforcement ”posse” confirmedwhat a multitude of nonpartisan computer graphic experts have already known. The image Mr. Obama “released” on April 27, 2011 is a computer-generated forgery. Irrespective of Mr. Obama’s Hawaii birth, for some reason Obama did not upload a certified copy of his birth certificate to the internet; neither is he allowing Hawaii to send certified paper copies to interested state election officials.
Since Obama was born in Hawaii, the question is: why the forgery? And why the continued secrecy?
Something is not right. I have speculated that Obama’s secrecy over the birth certificate may have been a calculated diversion from the important constitutional requirement for presidential candidates to have been born with a natural, sole allegiance to the United States.
That could be partially correct. Additionally, Obama might be hiding an amendment to his birth certificate, reflecting his adoption by Lolo Soetoro.
Others have suggested that the reason for the forgery could be over a petty issue, such as his mother having signed the certificate with her maiden name. In other words, but for the secrecy and forgery, the birth certificate may be completely irrelevant.
Nevertheless, if Obama has a citizenship problem because of Indonesia, the rest of the oddities and secrecies begin to make sense.
Sheriff Joe’s team found probable cause to conclude that Obama also forged his Selective Serviceregistration form. The mismatched date stamp “80″ instead of “1980″ is evidence not only of forgery, but of a crude forgery.
Then there is the question of why is Obama using aSocial Security number issued on application from Connecticut, a state in which he never lived.
If that’s not a news story, what is? Romney’s tax records?
In light of the few biographical documents we have seen so far, coupled with the bizarre secrecy of Obama, it might be a good idea for “pressure to mount” for Obama to produce his college records.
And while we’re at it, what passport did Obama use for his college break to Islamic Pakistan in 1981?
Since Obama is an “open book,” producing informative records shouldn’t be a problem for him.
This is not to be missed…share it…watch when you have time to devote to it

Obama’s dirty little (energy) secret
By NICK CHICKERING1 week ago
Why are gasoline prices so high? Now that the election campaign is on, the president speaks almost daily about his determination to lower gas prices, but let’s look at the record. Gasoline prices were $1.90/gal. when he took office with promises he would free America from dependency upon OPEC. The Arab oil racket drains $400 billion/year from American taxpayers. Yet now, it is $3.80/gal, exactly double, and it is not hard to see why, when we see what steps Barack Obama took to raise the price of gas and oil.
What he said and says, and what he did, are polar opposites:
1. The most important person to determine energy costs would be his choice for energy secretary. He chose Steven Chu, an academic who was specifically on record in support of raising domestic gas prices to Europe’s much higher prices
2. While Obama shut down all our rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from domestic well drilling, he offered no objection to the Government’s Export-Import Bank simultaneously approving a $2 billion loan to Brazil to drill much deeper wells off their coast, which oil was contracted to go to China (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/senator-questions-2-billion-loan-brazil-offshore-drilling-domestic-production,
3. The Inspector General’s Office discovered that the Obama administration report assuring that the expert panel reviewing his ban on drilling supported the ban, was, in fact, a fraud, and that the expert panel’s findings did not support the ban on drilling
4. Obama shut down the Keystone Pipeline, a major jobs and energy project which would have Canadian oil supplant Venezuelan oil at refineries in Texas and Louisiana, risking instead that it might go to China. In fact, our long-time ally, Canada, is so frustrated and fed up with this decision, they are now building a new pipeline through British Columbia to their West Coast so that all that oil which could have stayed here, can now go to China
5. Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has filed numerous new and continuing actions against efforts to drill for oil and gas domestically from coast to coast, and has virtually halted drilling on federal lands
6. Obama has stopped offshore drilling in the East and South while China and Cuba drill in waters off Florida
7. Obama’s EPA blocked Shell Oil from efforts to drill off Alaska despite years of waiting for permits
8. Despite the fact that coal-fired plants account for 42 percent of all domestic energy plants in our country, Obama has proposed new regulations designed to shut down up to half our coal-fired domestic energy plants and already shut down six major coal-fired energy plants in the U.S. The East Coast blackouts can be directly attributed to this forced curtailment of domestic energy plants
9. A top Obama EPA official was caught on tape saying the philosophy of Obama’s EPA is to “crucify” oil and gas companies
10. Obama daily attacks our domestic oil and gas companies, threatening much higher taxes on the companies. Higher taxes, of course, lead to less money to discover oil and gas, and raise retail prices further to pay for the additional taxes. According to the Energy Information Administration, over the past 20 years, energy companies paid more taxes to the government than they earned for their shareholders, and paid an average tax rate of 41.1 percent vs. 26.5 percent tax paid by the 500 largest companies in the U.S. Why are oil companies singled out for paying 41 percent taxes, but not Apple, which only pays 8 percent federal taxes
When Barack Obama’s policies are clearly and purposely curtailing new domestic energy sources, thereby increasing OPEC imports, prices go up. Why does he want consumers to pay much more for heating their homes and driving to work? Answer: Unless he can drive fossil fuel prices much higher, his far more expensive “green energy” will fail, though “green energy” still only accounts for less than 3 percent of domestic energy production..
Finally, if you still can’t believe that our president is purposely driving the average citizen’s energy prices higher, listen to him yourself in an interview he gave in San Francisco in 2009 where he says, “Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”
In the meanwhile, the voting public remains uninformed, as Obama campaigns on lowering energy prices, confident that his Mainstream Media allies will not report his dirty little secret. Is it too much to ask that our president tell us the truth?
While this is a bit off-topic, it is hard to reconcile the antipathy for archeology of the now-dominant forms of Islam. Not only are shrines of their own religious characters being desecrated by Salafists, but archaeology as a whole is being spoilt in a way that cannot be measured. History, we now see, is being written by the vandals.
Why is it that the so-called “educated elite” support this man and his sponsors, when they can see – if they could only see – his dismissiveness toward actual history?
And why is it that they suppose Obama would be popular in Islam when he has such a personal history of homosexuality? He may be popular in some regions in Turkey, where nominal Islam was practices and buggery the norm, but what makes him think that he’d be popular in places like Iran and Mecca? He fancies himself a wraith of sorts, not to be pinned down on his history – a series of fabrications and hallucinations. He is a deliberate non-persona, which is perhaps the only way a person of his character could ascend to his current position.
The fact that we’re still questioning why he lied (and lies) is odd. We should be pissing on his memorializations of himself, and the press should be doing the best part of it. The bigger question is: why is the press fawning over this pretender and putting chocolate syrup over his turds of deception, and expecting us to declare them delicious?
Perhaps the bigger question, even over that, is why there is anybody left who still believes him or anything he says?
VTX: Terrific post – pure poetry!
The fraternity of America-haters, Islam and Communists have aligned themselves …and bugger or not he is their useful tool. Obama’s hidden Mulim roots recommend him to those who built him….and his down low history makes him their blackmailable…his history revealed in Frank Meile’s article, his Islamic racist roots go far to explain the man who calls himself Obama.
There are two very real possible scenarios in play 1) The Obama Administration (including Hillary) is even more inept than they had already shown themselves to be, or 2) we are witnessing the lead up to a grand domestic false flag operation to bring about the true change that B. O. had hoped for prior to, if not pre-empting, the election. There is no rational explanation for $70K to be spent on mea culpa ads running in the Middle East that blame the infamous video for inciting the violence. (Let’s bring even more attention to it and flame the tensions a bit more…) I recently saw an article that revealed a strange purchase by the D H S (source info checked out) of tons of ammonium nitrate and A 5 . This caused a “Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm moment.”
Achmadinnerscold is supposedly in New York City at the Warwick. Apparently, the man who most resembles a doffer’s wind chimes trapped in an old car with the windows rolled up has escaped his confines in Tehran, and he is currently stinking up the United Nations – (as if it could possibly get stinkier) – and also the general neighborhood. It will take sanitation workers at least a fortnight to remove the stench.
Perhaps he could do us all a favor and take Iran-born Valerie Jarrett home with him, prior to the earthquake.
