Usually I prefer to avoid political issues, but this election is different. There's too much at stake (including our freedom to speak God's truth and to raise our children to follow Him) to be silent. If Obama wins, his charisma and neo-Marxist training would surely be used by less visible global leaders to bring unthinkable worldwide changes. That may be part of God’s plan at this time. If so, nothing would block Obama’s earthly success. But we can still help prepare God's people to prepare for the challenging times ahead.

Whether or not the following quote was actually spoken by the Soviet ruler, it summarizes Obama's pathway to change. (If that's hard to believe, please read the first three reports above):

"We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism." - Nikita Khrushchev, 1959

Would other candidates be able to stop the transformation? Probably not; it's already well under way. But we might see the appointment of a few justices who still valued our Constitution and freedom. Remember, no matter what happens, our sovereign God is in control!

"...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come... shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:37-39

Al-Qaida sites show support for Obama: "The call this week by an al-Qaida leader for Allah to 'humiliate' President Bush and the Republican Party in Tuesday's election was not the first tacit endorsement of Democrat Barack Obama by the terrorist network. A contributor to a major al-Qaida website last week said the terrorist group will 'let the Democrats win the presidential elections, and Obama will take it,' according to Joseph Shahda, an Arabic translator who monitors radical Islamic websites." See Spreading Islam

Taking a Stand. A German lady remembers Nazi "Change": "...in my homeland, Adolph Hitler was elected to power by promising 'Change.'... Yes. Change came to my homeland as the new leader promised it would. The teachers in German schools began to teach the children to sing songs in praise of Hitler. This was the beginning of the Hitler Youth movement....

"Little girls and boys joined hands and sang these songs as they walked home from school. My brother came home and told Papa what was happening at school.... I will never forget my father's face. Grief and fear. He knew that the best propaganda of the Nazis was song on the lips of little children." See Cultural & Political Corruption

Obama Ally Dedicated 1974 Book to RFK Assassin: "Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is listed as a 'political prisoner' to whom authors William Ayers and wife Bernadine Dohrn dedicated their 1974 book.... entitled 'Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.' ...Obama launched his political career in the home of Ayers and Dohrn in 1995...Ayers never repented for his past terrorism..."

Marching toward a dark river: "How could a man with no record, no experience, no known convictions and no known core beliefs so mesmerize the millions...? ....The early piper lured the children of Hamelin to their deaths in the river....

Humorless, self-righteous and immensely proud of himself, he employs his gift of "a unique ability to identify with children" to lure the grown-up children.... Many who imagine themselves smart, educated and intellectual are reduced to schoolyard gibberish in denouncing John McCain and Sarah Palin - first and foremost Sarah Palin - and vowing obeisance to the Chicago messiah.... One typical correspondent, a distinguished professor at one of our most expensive universities, writes to scold me for mentioning Mr. Obama's association with William Ayers, the unrepentant '60s terrorist..."

OBAMA TELLS SAN FRANCISCO HE WILL BANKRUPT THE COAL INDUSTRY: "So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted. ....What I have said is that for us to take coal off the table as a (sic) ideological matter as opposed to saying if technology allows us to use coal in a clean way, we should pursue it. So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It's just that it will bankrupt them."

AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living in US illegally: "...Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago.... It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order."

Palestinian in a Gaza refugee camp is doing his part to get out the vote for Barack Obama: "With a little help from the Internet, 24-year-old Ibrahim Abu Jayab is cold calling random American families from his parent's home imploring them to vote Obama." See Training an Army of World Servers

At the U.N., Many Hope for an Obama Win: "There are no 'Obama 2008' buttons, banners or T-shirts visible here at U.N. headquarters, but it might be difficult to find a sliver of territory in the United States more enthusiastic over the prospect of the Illinois senator winning the White House. ... An informal survey of more than two dozen U.N. staff members and foreign delegates showed that the overwhelming majority would prefer that Sen. Barack Obama win the presidency, saying they think that the Democrat would usher in a new agenda of multilateralism after an era marked by Republican disdain for the world body." See The U.N. Plan For Global Control: The Habitat II Agenda

Obama and the Law: "Senator Obama has stated very clearly what kinds of Supreme Court justices he wants-- those with 'the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor, or African-American, or gay, or disabled, or old.' Like so many things that Obama says, it may sound nice if you don't stop and think-- and chilling if you do stop and think. Do we really want judges who decide cases based on who you are, rather than on the facts and the law? ... The kind of criteria that Barack Obama promotes could have gotten three young men at Duke University sent to prison for a crime that neither they nor anybody else committed. Didn't we spend decades in America, and centuries in Western civilization, trying to get away from the idea that who you are determines what your legal rights are?" See Ban Truth - Reap Tyranny

Yes, Barack Obama really is a Manchurian candidate: "Why are so many of us eager to turn our nation, the greatest and noblest on earth, over to an angry-at-America, hardcore left-wing 'change agent' who will – with the help of a like-minded, Democrat-dominated Congress and a liberal-activist federal judiciary – bring about radical 'change' to every area of our lives? Just consider: * Obama is the most pro-abortion presidential candidate in history, having announced publicly: 'The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.'...

* He's hands-down the most pro-homosexual candidate in history, promising to back virtually the entire radical 'gay rights' agenda....

* Obama would devastate an already deeply troubled U.S. economy. ...

* Obama will attempt to muzzle conservative talk radio by resurrecting the horrendous 'Fairness Doctrine.'...

* Then there's the issue of Obama's truly disturbing past. It seems that no matter how stunning the revelations – some of which are finally emerging, no thanks to a shockingly irresponsible and infantile 'mainstream press' – they don't penetrate the public mind....

"Why, despite a mountain of evidence utterly proving his profound unworthiness to be president, do so many millions of Americans worship Barack Obama? Let's take a closer look.....

"The magic of envy ...appealing to anger and envy. They know instinctively that if they can stir up and ignite these dark, addictive passions in all of us, they will create a large voting bloc of people dependent on them.... In its purest form, this phenomenon is called Marxism, communism, socialism – the spiritual core of which is raw envy....

"The power of guilt ... Manipulative and unprincipled humans soon discover how to use our guilt to get their way."

Islam's prophesied Imam. Obama and Ahmadinejad: [from Forbes] "Is Barack Obama the promised warrior coming to help the Hidden Imam of Shiite Muslims conquer the world? ... According to the tradition, Imam Ali Ibn Abi-Talib (the prophet's cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times and just before the return of the Mahdi, the Ultimate Saviour, a 'tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West.' Commanding 'the strongest army on earth,' the new ruler in the West will carry 'a clear sign' from the third imam, whose name was Hussein Ibn Ali. ... In a curious coincidence Obama's first and second names -- Barack Hussein -- mean 'the blessing of Hussein' in Arabic and Persian. His family name, Obama, written in the Persian alphabet, reads O Ba Ma, which means 'he is with us,' the magic formula in Majlisi's tradition." See Glossary of Islamic Words

The next three links expose the beliefs of William Ayers, Obama's friend and fellow-worker from his days as "community organizer:"

William Ayers' forgotten communist manifesto: Prairie Fire: "'We are a guerilla organization. We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years.' And not some nicey-nice peace-and-love kind of communist. Through his group the Weather Underground, Ayers was planning to 'seize power' in a violent communist takeover of the United States: 'We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society.'" See Yuri Bezmenov on demoralization

Mind Control. When Academic Freedom Lost its Meaning: "Lately, it seems, Mr. Ayers, an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, has become something of a poster child for 'academic freedom.' An online petition signed by more than 3,000 educators explained: 'The attacks on and the character assassination of Ayers threaten the university as a space of open inquiry and debate, and threaten schools as places of compassion, imagination, curiosity, and free thought.'

"Compassion and free thought? We should remember that Mr. Ayers was a domestic terrorist. He has never expressed the slightest regret for his violent actions.... 'He believes teacher education programs should serve as 'sites of resistance' to an oppressive system.' Surely someone whose has devoted his life to attacking the system -- one way or another -- is not exempt from attacks on his own character or ideas.... Mr. Ayers doesn't spend his classes asking students to assess objectively the arguments about whether America is an oppressive regime.... Mr. Ayers's purpose is 'not to make refined minds think more sharply, but to turn teachers into preparers of young radicals.' Who in turn can grow up to be college professors."

Obama's links to Odinga's 2007 campaign in Kenya

Barack Obama & Raila Odinga: The two have much in common. Both chose the election slogan, "Change." Both promise to "distribute wealth more evenly." Both were trained by Neo-Marxists or Communists (Odinga was "educated in communist East Germany"[1]). Both have strong ties to radical Muslims. Odinga even promised to change Kenya's constitution in order to establish Sharia law in Muslim areas. Yet both claimed to be Christians when campaigning in certain groups.
Obama was a political consultant for Odinga during his presidential campaign. Apparently, Odinga strategy was that if he lost, he would claim fraud and incite people to violence. In the end, 1,500 people were killed in the violence and 600,000 people lost their homes.To stop the killing, a coalition government was formed. Odinga is now the Prime Minister. Odinga claims to be Obama's cousin.

Obama and Bill Ayers

1. The Weather Underground

2. Bill Ayers in Venezuela: Conversacion con Bill Ayers, parte 7: teaching and Learning is central to socialism in the 20th century. Che Guevara always talked about new men and women.... And when we were underground fighting the US government we always said we wanted to become new men and women So I look at Venezuela and I see you have this great opportunity to not only transform production and transform the economic life here but to actually transform human relations human activities. It seems to me that is the central lesson of the 20th century ...We must find these forms, these Soviets and Communes.... The more we decentralize and build up the power of democracy the more possible it will be to create a humanistic socialism of a new kind. ... Our struggle for freedom is.... a struggle that will never end."

3. Bill Ayers' wife: Bernadine Dohrn: Overthrowing Capitalism 2007: "The majority of people who are activists...[are] devoted to overthrowing everything hateful about this government and corporate structure that we live in... [including] capitalism."

"Praise the Kenyan! Praise Allah! Soon we change America. With help of the fellow Muslim! He will open the door for us to enter with ease...."

2001: Obama: Tragedy that 'redistribution of wealth not pursued by Supreme Court

Obama Supporters: What about the issues?

Obama fires a 'Robin Hood' warning shot: "Obama ... was caught on video telling an Ohio plumber that he intends to take the profits of small-business owners and 'spread the wealth around' to those with lesser incomes."

William Ayers is a communist.... He said so himself: William Ayers' forgotten communist manifesto: Prairie Fire: "We are a guerilla organization. We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years." And not some nicey-nice peace-and-love kind of communist. Through his group the Weather Underground, Ayers was planning to 'seize power' in a violent communist takeover of the United States: 'We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society.'"

Obama Campaign Tries to Soften Biden’s Warning: "On Sunday, Sen. Joe Biden warned that Barack Obama will be tested by an 'international crisis' if he’s elected president. By Tuesday, the Obama campaign was in damage-control mode." See The emerging New World Order

Shocking development: Mrs Obama decides enough is enough: "When API told her that our online news media was only relaying what the American Bloggers and other media outlets had discovered through their investigations, Mrs Obama was angered and she came out loud with the following: 'African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,' and she went to state that, 'it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband.'...

"When API asked Mrs Obama to comment on why Dr Corsi was arrested by the Kenyan government and whether she thought Kenya’s Prime Minister Mr Raila Odinga was involved in Dr Corsi’s arrest, she got irritated and and simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency....

"Mrs Obama asked API to write a good story about her husband and that will earn API an invitation to the inauguration ceremony when, as she put it , her husband will be installed as the next President of the United States of America next year."

Gay' pedophilia and Obama: "Kevin Jennings... is the founder and long-time head of the radical homosexual group GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.... He's now the Obama campaign fundraising co-chair for the 'LGBT' community – that's 'lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered.' You can listen to Jennings lay out the rights-oriented rhetoric... on the website 'LGBT for Obama.'...

"Remember the book 'Queering Elementary Education,' with the gushing blurb on the back from Obama's radical 'social justice' colleague Bill Ayers? Well, the same book has a foreword written by Jennings.... The more closely one reads the GLSEN material, the worse it gets. Just about every type of sexual practice imaginable is apparently acceptable and even worthy of 'celebration' by any age student or teacher as far as GLSEN is concerned.... Is this the kind of 'school reform' Obama has in mind?" See next link:

Kevin Jennings Talks LGBT Voters and the Obama Campaign: "In this interview Kevin Jennings talk about why it so important that LGBT voters get engaged in the campaign to elect Barack Obama. Jennings is the founder of Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network." See Moral, Spiritual & Cultural Corruption

College associate editor says 'Obama is my Jesus': "'Yes, I just said it. Obama is my Jesus,' wrote Maggie Mertens... 'While you may be overtly religious and find this to be idol-worshipping, or may be overtly politically correct and just know that everything in that sentence could be found offensive, I'm afraid it's true anyway.'"

She reminds me God's warnings for nations that reject Him after receiving so many blessings. See Ban Turth - Reap Tyranny

What's Obama hiding from us? "...a second lawsuit has been filed demanding Barack Obama produce evidence that he is a natural-born U.S. citizen in the form of certified copies of birth documents. When I first heard that the birth certificate Obama had posted on his website was suspected of being a forgery, I didn't give it much credence. I mean, who in their right mind would try and pull off something like running for president of the United States on forged documents?... Besides, FactCheck.org says it examined the Obama birth certificate and claims it is genuine. ... But FactCheck.org is owned by the Annenberg Foundation, which links to Bill Ayers, which links to Barack Obama, both of whom held seats on that board – which then calls FactCheck.org's objectivity into question. But surely Barack Obama wouldn't try to run for president knowing he wasn't qualified?" See Training an Army of World Servers

Bribes paid for Corsi to escape from Kenya: "Kenyan immigration officials and soldiers armed with automatic weapons prevented Corsi [author of book exposing Obama's leftist agenda] from holding a scheduled news conference about his investigation into Obama's Kenyan links. ...The situation developed yesterday just as Corsi, who had been in Kenya for several days, was preparing for ... news conference to announce the results of his investigation, which also targeted Raila Odinga, [now Kenya's Prime Minister in a coalition government] who claimed in an earlier BBC report that he is Obama's cousin, saying Obama's father was Odinga's uncle."

Obama Camp Rejects Jackson's Claim: "Barack Obama's campaign stepped in quickly Tuesday to distance itself from a claim by the Rev. Jesse Jackson that 'Zionists' would lose clout under an Obama administration."

Jesse Jackson on Obama's America: "Prepare for a new America: That's the message that the Rev. Jesse Jackson conveyed to participants in the first World Policy Forum.... The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where 'decades of putting Israel's interests first' would end.' ...'Obama is about change.... It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it.'...

"'Obama has been 'a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family.' Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle. 'We helped him start his career,' says Jackson. 'And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice....'" Trading Truth for a "Social Gospel"

Will MSM Report on Louis Farrakhan Declaration of Obama as the Messiah? : "...transcript of Farrakhan's annunciation of the Messiah of the Chicago Machine: "You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change.... When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.....

[Not on video] "And then there was Mark Morford, a San Francisco columnist and Zen Master, who declared Obama to be a Lightworker: ... 'Many spiritually advanced people I know ... identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet.... These kinds of people actually help us evolve."

Hands up! You're under arrest for saying 'Hussein Obama!': "At a rally in Estero, Florida on Monday for Gov. Sarah Palin, one of the pre-rally speakers was Sheriff Scott....Scott stepped to the podium and said, 'On November 4, let's leave Barack Hussein Obama wondering what happened.'

"Oh, the shock of it all! Speaking someone's full legal name in public! When asked about the 'incident,' Sheriff Scott responded...'In order to be a speaker at this event, I had to give my full name — Michael Joseph Scott — to the Secret Service, even though I’m the sheriff of Lee County. So why would I apologize? Is there some kind of double standard here...?'

"...officials with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel have started an investigation of the Sheriff..."

Proof Obama backed ruthless, foreign thug: "Obama openly campaigned for [Kenyan presidential canditate] Odinga during the Illinois Democrat's 2006 Senate 'fact-finding visit' to Kenya. Odinga called for protests over alleged voter fraud after losing the December 2007 general election. The resulting protest violence left an estimated 1,000 members of the dominant Kikuyu tribe in Kenya dead and an estimated 500,000 displaced from their homes.... Sen. Obama's relatives in Kenya are Luo. ...

"The document at one point suggests: 'It is possible to trigger a class war by painting the Kibaki Government as an insensitive, uncaring group of Muthaiga Golf clubbers.... Visible signs of class disparity will provide important fodder for this theme.'" It sounds like Alinksky's Neo-Marxist tactics. See Training an Army of World Servers

How ACORN got me into vote scam: "Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley, claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.... Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote '10 to 15' times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.... 'Some of them were getting paid to collect names....' Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed... as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN.....

'"You can tell them you're registered as many times as you want - they do not care,' said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed. 'They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter...' ... A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months.... The major risk of fraud growing out of mass canvassing involves the possibility of ineligible voters filing absentee ballots, and thus avoiding checks at polling places, said Republican National Committee chief counsel Sean Cairncross." See the next link:

The ACORN/Obama Voter Registration 'Thug Thizzle': "Systemic corruption of our election process continues. Barack Obama and his old friends at ACORN and Project Vote are leading the way.... ACORN, which receives 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers to pursue an aggressive welfare-state agenda, has already helped register over 1.27 million people nationwide.... Project Vote... was founded by left-wing lawyer Sandy Newman to register voters in welfare offices and unemployment lines.... The two groups are inextricably linked -- and at their nexus is Barack Obama....

"The Obama campaign's 'Vote for Change' registration drive, running parallel to ACORN/Project Vote, is an all-out scramble to scrape up every last unregistered voter sympathetic to Obama's big-government vision. 'Our volume,' Obama campaign manager David Plouffe bragged of the voter-registration program, 'will be enormous.'" See Training an army of world servers

Archives prove Obama was a New Party [Socialist] member: "Another piece in the puzzle of Barack Obama has been revealed, greatly strengthening the picture of a man groomed by an older generation of radical leftists for insertion into the American political process.... The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. .... Barack Obama was a member of the New Party, despite alleged attempts to cover up his tracks by scrubbing evidence." See the next link:

Will MSM Report on Louis Farrakhan Declaration of Obama as the Messiah? : "...transcript of Farrakhan's annunciation of the Messiah of the Chicago Machine: "You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change....

Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of Socialist 'New Party' In 1996: "Although the web page was deleted from the New Party's website, the non-profit Internet Archive Organization had archived the page. From the October 1996 Update of the DSA [Democratic Socialists of America] 'New Party': 'New Party members are busy knocking on doors, hammering down lawn signs, and phoning voters to support NP candidates this fall. Here are some of our key races... Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary)."

Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis: "The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. "'The 'Cloward-Piven Strategy' seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.'

"Cloward and Piven were inspired by radical organizer [and Hillary Clinton mentor] Saul Alinsky: 'Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,' Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. ... The system's failure to 'live up' to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist 'rule book' with a socialist one.'...

"Cloward and Piven were specific about the kind of 'crisis' they were trying to create: By crisis, we mean a publicly visible disruption in some institutional sphere.' ... The overarching aim is always to impose new stresses on target systems, with the ultimate goal of forcing their collapse." See Real Conspiracies: Past and Present

Teacher suspended for students’ Obama chants: "A teacher at a Kansas City charter school was suspended Monday after video of his public school students chanting in praise of Barack Obama became a national sensation on YouTube." See the first video listed HERE

Pro-Obama, Muslim-led voter registration in mosques: "...there has been virtually no coverage or action taken against a Muslim group that has been running an illegal 'get out the vote' campaign in swing-state mosques. The group, Muslim Americans for Obama [MAFO], insists that all of its voter registration activity is non-partisan, despite the fact that its mission statement says it was launched... 'to provide a vehicle for Muslim-American supporters of Barack Obama to organize and mobilize our fellow citizens to get out the vote to elect Barack Obama the next president....'" See Islam

Obama Overseas Money Could Total $3.3 Million: Obama has raised about $3.3 million from contributors who did not list a home state or who designated their state with an abbreviation that did not match one of the 50 states or U.S. territories, according to records provided by the Federal Election Commission.... Under federal law, foreign citizens cannot make political contributions, but U.S. citizens living abroad can."

Obama's Foreign Donors: The media averts its eyes: "Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? ... Foreign donations are illegal.... And yet still no media. But Obama pricked up his ears... and contended they had returned the $33,500 in illegal contributions from Palestinians in Hamas-controlled Gaza, despite the fact that records do not show that it was returned. ...no refund was made to Osama, Hossam, or Edwan Monir... And still no media....

[For example:] "A donor named Hbkjb, jkbkj. City: Jkbjnj. Works for: Kuman Bank (doesn't exist)... or the donor Doodad.... The $ contributed = $10,780.00. This Doodad character works for FDGFDGF and occupation is DFGFDG..."

"The moment my Gaza story started to get some chatter on talk radio, the left and their supplicant handmaidens in the media sprang into action and created a McCain illegal campaign contribution 'scandal'. The Washington Post published an inaccurate allegation and then retracted not a day later, at the risk of looking stupid."

Hamas Political Advisor: "We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election": "The main political advisor to the Prime Minister of Hamas, Ahmed Yousef said.... 'We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election.' 'He has a vision to change America.'"

Obama Falsely Claims 'Every Penny' of Bailout Proceeds Will Go to Americans: "Contrary to Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) statement on the Senate floor that 'every penny' of potential profit derived from the government’s purchase and resale of troubled mortgage-backed securities 'will go directly back to the American people,' the law says the money will go to pay off federal debt – some of which is held by foreign entities."

$920 Billion more to bail out the world: "...sponsored by Senator Barack Obama. One is the Jubilee Act, which would cancel as much as $75 billion worth of Third World debt, and the Global Poverty Act, which would cost an estimated $845 billion." [Both bills have passed the House]

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor 'Global Poverty Act' to cost each citizen $2,500 or more: "The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world. The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe." See United Nations' Millennium Goal

Obama wants Gore in key position: "Obama has said he would consider putting former US vice-president Al Gore in a cabinet-level position or higher if he wins the presidency.... 'He's somebody I talk to on a regular basis.'" See Al Gore’s Vision of Global Salvation

Sarah Palin Mythology Debunked: "Myth: As governor of Alaska, Palin put the governor’s plane up for sale on eBay but did not really sell it. Fact: After she did not find a buyer on eBay, she sold the plane eight months later through a broker for $2.2 million. Myth: Palin did not really stop the “Bridge to Nowhere.” Fact: During her gubernatorial race in 2006, she endorsed the bridge but as governor rejected it, allocating the federal earmark money elsewhere. Meanwhile, in 2005, Barack Obama voted against a Senate amendment to stop funding for the project. Myth: As mayor of Wasilla, Palin banned nearly 100 books, including “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” and “Death of a Salesman.” Fact: Palin never banned any books. An emailed list of books she supposedly banned included Harry Potter books that had not yet been published when she was in office."

Joe Biden's history lesson off by 4 years and 1 president but otherwise pretty accurate: "...in an interview with 'CBS Evening News,' Biden misspoke when he told anchor Katie Couric that today's leaders should take a lesson from the history books.... Declared Biden: 'When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'

"What's wrong with that, some might ask? Well, for starters Republican Herbert Hoover was president when the stock market crashed in October 1929. Second, Roosevelt didn't take office until four years later. And, not to be picky, but there were also no televisions in use at the time. Radio was Roosevelt's favored medium."

Obama Pressured Iraq to Delay Troop Withdrawals: "Despite his insistent demands for a rapid withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama secretly urged Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement that would lead to a draw down in troop numbers. ... 'He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the U.S. elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,' Zebari said..."

NYT.com Removes Article Mentioning Obama's Muslim Roots: "...Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' Moreover, Mr. Obama's own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn't sure if his grandfather's two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite." (NYT, 3-6-07)

Though the NYT deleted the link to its article, it's still on Obama's official website: "Obama: Man of the World"

Obama is a Muslim and should be proud of it, Ghadafi says: “There is a candidate in the American presidential election who is Black, Muslim and of African origin, his name is Obama. All people in Africa and the Arabic and Islamic world were having hopes on him. They cheered him, prayed for his success, and perhaps made legitimate donations to help him get elected. But we were all surprised to hear him making statements that chocked all of his supporters in the Arabic, Islamic, and African world. ... Obama should be proud of his African and Islamic identities, and should work to change America from evil to good.”

Since he tells Americans that he is a Christian, he may tell others whatever they want to hear. See next link:

Obama slips on TV: 'My Muslim faith': "Slip of the tongue or momentary confusion? In a television interview today discussing his religion, Sen. Barack Obama stated, 'My Muslim faith.' Obama, speaking to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on 'This Week,' was talking about what he described as 'smears' that were claiming he was a Muslim when he maintains he is a practicing Christian.

"'Let's not play games,' Obama stated. 'What I was suggesting – you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you're absolutely right that that has not come.' Stephanopoulos immediately interrupted Obama, stating, 'Christian faith.'

"'My Christian faith,' Obama quickly said. 'Well, what I'm saying is that he (McCain) hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim...."

Obama’s Secret Strategy: "I have heard stories about massive voter registration drives and preparations to get out the vote with the help of unions, teachers, and other Obama fans. Chief among these groups is ACORN, or Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, a radical group that has been caught engaging in voter fraud. Not surprisingly, Obama has close ties to the group since his days as a 'community organizer' in Chicago.

"The New York Times noted that Obama had been a key ally of ACORN. His influence at charitable foundations 'allowed him to help direct tens of millions of dollars in grants.' The paper also noted the key role ACORN played in helping him win his first state Senate race in Illinois."

Sarah Palin's Speech: What Really Happened: "In delivering his speech at the Republican National Convention, Rudy Giuliani helped himself to an extra 13 minutes over his allotted time. As a result, the plan to air a video about Sarah Palin was jettisoned, and her teleprompter went on the blink.... Two days before Palin was to give her speech, speechwriter Matthew Scully met with the Alaska governor in an $89-a-night room at the Manchester Inn in Middletown, Ohio, and wrote a draft. After she saw the draft, 'The governor attacked the speech and made it her own....'"

Barack Obama through Muslim Eyes: "'Barack Obama's father was Muslim and therefore, according to Islamic law, so is the candidate....' In addition, his school record from Indonesia lists him as a Muslim.

"...an Egyptian newspaper, Al-Masri al-Youm, refers to his 'Muslim origins.' Libyan ruler Mu‘ammar al-Qaddafi referred to Obama as 'a Muslim' and a person with an 'African and Islamic identity.'... The Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan called Obama 'the hope of the entire world' and compared him to his religion's founder, Fard Muhammad." See Obama: Grew Up with "the Bible and the Koran"

Repeated Global Spirituality. Obama: Grew Up with "the Bible and the Koran" Believes Many Paths Lead to God: "'I am rooted in the Christian tradition,' he has said. Nevertheless he asserts, 'I believe there are many paths to the same place and that is a belief there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.'...

"'In our household,' he has explained, 'The Bible, [t]he Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf ... on Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to a church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites.'" See Heresy in High Places

Obama's training program described as 'Big Brother': "The tax-funded Chicago organization cited as a probable model for programs to integrate youth into the social and political world under an Obama tenure in the White House is the epitome of 'Big Brother' that shovels impressionable youth through a course of brainwashing.... Obama plans to use the non-profit, which is funded partly by the federal government and is featured on Obama's campaign website, as the model for a national service corps, called the 'Universal Voluntary Public Service.'...

"Obama asserted... that the U.S. needs a 'civilian national security force' that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force.... .

"'Remember, Obama has followed Saul Alinsky's ultimate advice,' Corsi explained. '...Alinsky told his radicals to cut their hair, buy business suits and run for public office,' he said. 'Ayers and Obama are both aimed at producing radical socialist change from within – working today to radicalize our institutions, instead of bombing them."

Obama And The End Of Racism: (by Dinesh D'Souza ] "...for the past several years we have been hearing liberal Democrats emphasize how racism still defines America, how things haven't really changed all that much, how racism has gone underground and is now more covert and more dangerous than ever. ...these people must be utterly shocked at the success of Barack Obama....

"Even though Obama's candidacy signals that America is overcoming its racial past, neither Obama nor his wife recognize that. Their personal statements, as seen for example in Obama's books, are suffused with race-consciousness, race-obsession and even racial resentment."

McCain Chooses Palin as Running Mate: "...he had chosen Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate, shaking up the political world....Ms. Palin ran as a change agent when she was elected as governor of Alaska in 2006, and... she took intense criticism from members of her own party for turning the spotlight on the failures of Alaska Republicans, some of whom had been beset by corruption scandals...

"Ms. Palin opposes abortion rights.... she has been pushing for a new pipeline that would pump trillions of cubic feet of natural gas from the North Slope to the lower 48 states in the hope of delivering Alaska another economic boom.... 'She is a reformer governor who is solidly pro-life and a person of deep Christian faith.... Ms. Palin is known to conservatives for choosing not to have an abortion after learning that she was carrying a child with Down syndrome.'”

Obama seeks to silence ad tying him to 60s radical: "Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial. ... Obama has denounced Ayers' past activities. 'Barack Obama is friends with Ayers, defending him as, quote, 'Respectable' and 'Mainstream,' the group's ad states. 'Obama's political career was launched in Ayers' home. And the two served together on a left-wing board. Why would Barack Obama be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it?'"

Suspicious ties force Obama adviser's resignation: "Former coordinator for Muslim affairs has links to Hamas... Ten days after the announcement of his appointment as the Obama campaign's coordinator for Muslim affairs, Chicago lawyer Mazen Ashabi resigned, saying he didn't want investigations into his past associations to become 'distracting.' ... Asbahi became the campaign's coordinator of outreach to Muslims on July 26, but earlier this week a report by the Internet newsletter Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily... linked Asbahi to Jamal Said, a man thought by the U.S. Department of Justice to be involved in racketeering and fundraising for the Palestinian terror organization Hamas."

Obama: Healthcare for Illegals: "Democrats' single most important domestic proposal — universal health insurance — may blow up in Barack Obama's face when voters are exposed to the deadly details. Obama has said, proudly and often, 'I am going to give health insurance to 47 million Americans who are now without coverage.' [Would they precede all the Americans who can't afford insurance?]

Obama's worldview: "'After centuries of strife, the people of Europe have formed a Union of promise and prosperity.' That last sentence would suggest Mr. Obama is not terribly keen about nation states. It suggests that he believes that nation states have outgrown their practical and moral utility. That is why, presumably, he says that we must tear down the walls between the countries 'with the most' - that would be the United States - and those with the least.... That is why he is a sponsor of Senate Bill 2433, the Global Poverty Act, legislation that Mr. Obama's own Web site proudly claims would 'cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015.'"

Obama Supports Global Tax From United Nations: "...his trip highlights a dangerous threat to America’s national sovereignty in the form of his globalist policies that will diminish America’s role in the world and outsource decisions of vital national interest to the United Nations.

"His Global Poverty Act, currently under consideration in Congress, is just one such policy. Despite its seemingly innocuous title, the Global Poverty Act would force America to adopt the U.N.’s 'Millennium Development Goals' as official U.S. policy. This means outsourcing to the United Nations all important decisions concerning the use of U.S. foreign aid dollars. Not only that, but the fee for allowing the U.N. to play the 'middle man' in our global war on poverty would be a tax of .7 percent of the U.S. Gross National Product. ...Obama and his liberal allies such as Senator Biden have signed on to a bill that would allow the U.N. to tax America (and Americans) an estimated $845 billion over the next 13 years. Obama’s plan represents perhaps the greatest affront to our national sovereignty since the War of 1812. ....

"The Global Poverty Act dismisses the American ideals of a free-market economy and responsible government for a global bureaucracy that has already lost tens of millions in development funds to corruption. ... Handing over the job to an organization renowned for its incompetence is a recipe for disaster."

Obama’s Trip: No Bounce, No Flags, No Wounded Soldiers: "As crowds cheered Obama globally, Americans here on the homefront were left wondering if the Illinois senator wants to be their president -- or the president of some other country.... Obama's speech to the Germans left much to be desired, from an American’s perspective. For starters, the crowd’s size was beefed up by the fact that the event was billed as a free rock concert...."

Baghdad, Berlin, Barack: "The Obama campaign now makes much of the fact that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki seems to have endorsed the idea of a timetable for withdrawal.... This is being played as a great political coup for Mr. Obama -- which, we suppose, it is, if only because the media plays it that way. But the significant debate is not over whether and when the U.S. will withdraw. It's over whether the U.S. will win.

"In his Berlin speech, Mr. Obama was at his most forceful when he insisted that 'this is the moment when we must defeat terror,' adding that 'the threat is real and we cannot shrink from our responsibility to combat it.' This... squares oddly with a political campaign whose central premise is that losing in Iraq -- and whatever calamities may follow -- is a matter of little consequence to U.S. or European interests. It squares oddly, too, with Mr. Obama's broader promise to 'stand for the human rights of the dissident in Burma, the blogger in Iran, the voter in Zimbabwe' and virtually every other global cause."

Obama Berlin speech: 'A WORLD THAT STANDS AS ONE': "People of the world -- look at Berlin! Look at Berlin, where Germans and Americans learned to work together and trust each other less than three years after facing each other on the field of battle.... The fall of the Berlin Wall brought new hope. But that very closeness has given rise to new dangers -- dangers that cannot be contained within the borders of a country or by the distance of an ocean. ...

"As we speak, cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic, shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas to Kenya. Poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union, or secrets from a scientist in Pakistan could help build a bomb that detonates in Paris. The poppies in Afghanistan become the heroin in Berlin. The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow. ... That is why we cannot afford to be divided. No one nation, no matter how large or powerful, can defeat such challenges alone. None of us can deny these threats, or escape responsibility in meeting them.... No doubt, there will be differences in the future. But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together." See New world, New ways, New minds, New gods and The U.N.

Top Biden Staffer on Obama Trip to Afghanistan and Iraq: "The chief of staff to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tony Blinken, is accompanying Barack Obama on his high-profile trip to Afghanistan and Iraq. Blinken is chairman Joe Biden’s right-hand man on the Foreign Relations Committee and considered his closest adviser. Biden, a Delaware Democrat, has often been mentioned as a possible running mate with Obama and the presence of his top committee staffer and long-time friend and adviser is sure to further speculation about an emerging Obama-Biden relationship.... Biden has taken on an increasingly visible role as a surrogate for Obama...." See Council on Foreign Relations

Obama's choice of site for speech splits Germans: "The decision by Senator Barack Obama to speak at a landmark monument in Berlin this Thursday has opened up yet another controversy, with conservative and opposition politicians saying the site recalls Germany's Nazi past and Prussia's militaristic tradition.' ...Andreas Schockenhoff, deputy leader of the conservative bloc in Parliament, said Sunday that the choice of the Victory Column, also known as the Golden Angel, was an 'unhappy symbol' since it represented so much of Germany's militaristic past." But it fits Obama's emphasis on mandatory community service and the Nazi era's "service learning." See Serving a Greater Whole

Obama issues new call for national service: "Obama promised on Wednesday to create new opportunities for national service... "[T]his will will be a central cause of my presidency,' he said. 'We will ask Americans to serve.... And we will direct that service to our most pressing national challenges.' ...Obama... would expand AmeriCorps, the domestic service agency, and double the size of the Peace Corps. ... He also would offer more service opportunities to retirees and set goals for middle- and high-school students to serve 50 hours a year of public service, and for college students to serve 100 hours a year." See Could the Draft be Back?

Obama's 'Big Brother' vanishes from speech: "Obama's stunning assertion in a recent speech that the U.S. needs a 'civilian national security force' that would be as powerful, strong and well-funded as the half-trillion dollar Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force is not included in published transcripts of his prepared remarks. In the July 2 speech in Colorado Springs, Obama insisted the U.S. 'cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set.' ... According to the transcript, Obama was to have said: 'We'll send more college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods. We'll enlist veterans to help other vets find jobs and support, and to be there for our military families. And we'll also grow our Foreign Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy.'

"...a YouTube video of the speech, at about the 16-minute mark, shows Obama added the following lines: 'We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." See New world, New ways, New minds, New gods

Obama Wants to Expand Role of Religious Groups: "With an eye toward courting evangelical voters, Senator Barack Obama arrived here on Tuesday to present a plan to expand on President Bush’s program of investing federal money in religious-based initiatives that are intended to fight poverty and perform community aid work....'Now, I know there are some who bristle at the notion that faith has a place in the public square,' Mr. Obama intends to say. 'But the fact is, leaders in both parties have recognized the value of a partnership between the White House and faith-based groups.'... He called for rules to make certain the new council wouldn’t violate the separation of church and state.'" See The Evangelical Manifesto and Faith-Based Compromise

Obama Foreshadows the Coming Spirituality: "Barack Obama... says that the teachings of the UCC (United Church of Christ), of which he is a member (Trinity United Church of Christ), are 'foundation stones for his political work.' Just what are those 'teachings' comprised of?

I bow to the divinity in us all!'" See New world, New ways, New minds, New gods

Obama: Sermon on Mount OKs Same-Sex Unions: "'I don't think it [a same-sex union] should be called marriage, but I think that it is a legal right that they should have that is recognized by the state,' said Obama. 'If people find that controversial then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.'... 'Again, I respect people who may disagree, but I certainly don't think it makes me less Christian.'...

"Obama said in the letter. ... 'In terms of my faith, there has been so much confusion that has been deliberately perpetrated through emails and so forth, so here are the simple facts,' he said. 'I am a Christian. I am a devout Christian. I have been a member of the same church for 20 years, pray to Jesus every night, and try to go to church as much as I can.... So, my faith is important to me. It is not something that I try to push on other people. But it is something that helps to guide my life and my values." See The Rising World Religion

UCC member Sen. Barack Obama discusses faith and politics: “'There are millions of religious Americans who are offended when their faith is used as a tool to attack and divide, and who see a positive role for the church in solving both social and moral problems....' Interviewed on the heels of a major address on the connection between religion and politics at the 'Pentecost 2006: Building a Covenant for a New America' gathering in Washington, D.C., Obama cited the welcome he received by his pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and the teachings of the UCC as foundation stones for his political work.... 'This spirit of inclusiveness has served as a model for me in my time in the Senate.'...

'"I think it’s time that we join a serious debate about how to reconcile faith with our modern, pluralistic democracy,' said Obama.... 'I believe that democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal values.... Social justice and national security are both universal values, values that may originate for some in their religious beliefs, but are shared by us all.' ' think it is up to individual pastors and faith leaders to help guide religious Americans in prioritizing what is in their own holy books."' See The UN Plan for Your Mental Health

Communist Party Backs Obama: "The latest to emerge publicly in Obama’s camp is Joelle Fishman, the chairman of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) Political Action Commission.

Faithful in pews might not be voters in November: "Moreover, Obama's campaign is aggressively reaching out to evangelicals. The Illinois senator dispatched former 9/11 Commission member Tim Roemer to meet with fellow Roman Catholics. He sent Brian McLaren, one of the country's most influential pastors, to meet with fellow evangelicals. And aides have conducted more than 200 'American Values Forums,' soon to be followed up with house parties and town hall-style meetings aimed at young Catholics and young evangelicals.'" See next link:

Brian [McLaren]'s Blog: "...we all know that I'm not one of the country's most influential pastors. Nor was I sent to meet with fellow evangelicals on Obama's behalf, although I'd be happy to share with anyone of any faith persuasion my hopes, concerns, and commitments regarding the presidential election. I was invited to speak on faith and politics at one of Senator Obama's 'faith and values' forums in Iowa last year. And I am an enthusiastic supporter of The Matthew 25 Network, which is supporting Senator Obama.... I plan to be more outspoken about the election in the coming months.... In fact, I just said good-bye to a CNN crew who was here filming a story about Evangelicals who support Senator Obama, tentatively to be aired on Tuesday." See Who defines the Kingdom of God?

Hillary Losing Support Among ‘Friends’: "Bill Clinton’s former national security adviser Anthony Lake and his former Labor Secretary Robert Reich have also endorsed Obama."

The Audacity of Rhetoric (by Thomas Sowell): "Barack Obama's own account of his life shows that he consciously sought out people on the far left fringe. In college, 'I chose my friends carefully,' he said in his first book, 'Dreams From My Father. 'These friends included 'Marxist professors and structural feminists'... as well as the 'more politically active black students.'... Jeremiah Wright is in the same mold... members of the left, anti-American counter-culture....

"Nor has Obama changed in recent years. His voting record in the U.S. Senate is the furthest left of any Senator. There is a remarkable consistency... despite inconsistencies in what he says....

"One sign of Obama's verbal virtuosity was his equating a passing comment by his grandmother -- 'a typical white person,' he says -- with an organized campaign of public vilification of America in general and white America in particular....

She has used the trip as a reference point when she describes her foreign policy experience. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base, the then-first lady said in a recent speech....The senator had described approaching the landing using an 'evasive maneuver.'

Obama's Ties to Left Come Under Scrutiny: "Mr. Ayers wrote a memoir, "Fugitive Days," published in 2001, and on the day of the September 11 terrorist attacks, he was quoted by the New York Times as saying: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." He and Mr. Obama served together on the nine-member board of the Woods Fund, a Chicago nonprofit, for three years beginning in 1999, and they have also appeared jointly on two academic panels, one in 1997 and another in 2001.

Goolsbee is an economist and is currently the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. He is also a Research Fellow at the American Bar Foundation[1], Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a member of the Panel of Economic Advisors to the Congressional Budget Office. He has been Barack Obama's economic advisor since Obama's successful U.S. Senate campaign in Illinois. He is the lead economic advisor to the 2008 Obama presidential campaign.'

The Megachurch Primaries: "Sen. Obama hired Joshua DuBois to be his director of religious affairs. He maintains the religious outreach website and directs 'faith forums,' which are church-hosted discussions about the role of faith in politics.... 'Our democracy demands that when people are religiously motivated,' DuBois said, 'you have to translate your [policy] concerns into universal rather than religion-specific values. We're no longer just a Christian nation; we're also a Jewish nation, a Hindu nation, a Muslim nation, and a nation that does not adhere to a particular religion.' ...

"'This year, you've got the three leading candidates who are very comfortable talking about their faith, they enjoy opportunities to talk about their faith, and they all three have profound faith,' said Burns Strider, a self-described evangelical who is Clinton's senior adviser and director of faith-based outreach." See The Rising World Religion

Communism & Community Activism. Rules for radicals: "His name was Saul Alinsky, the mentor of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the concierge emeritus of modern liberalism.... Alinsky was also the subject of the previously suppressed 1969 Wellesley Thesis by one Hillary Rodham....[In it, she wrote that Alinsky's 1971 book] Rules for Radicals provides the organizer with a tactical style for community organization that assumes an adversarial relationship between groups of people in which one either dominates or is dominated. ... Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also, it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.” “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” See the next link:

Tactics for change. Hillary, Obama and the Cult of Alinsky: "True revolutionaries do not flaunt their radicalism, Alinsky taught. They cut their hair, put on suits and infiltrate the system from within. Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties....

"One Alinsky benefactor was Wall Street investment banker Eugene Meyer, who served as Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1930 to 1933. Meyer and his wife Agnes co-owned The Washington Post. They used their newspaper to promote Alinsky....Her series, called 'The Orderly Revolution', made Alinsky famous....

"Alinsky’s crowning achievement was his recruitment of a young high school student named Hillary Rodham. She met Alinsky through a radical church group. Hillary wrote an analysis of Alinsky’s methods for her senior thesis at Wellesley College. ...

"Many leftists view Hillary as a sell-out because she claims to hold moderate views on some issues. However, Hillary is simply following Alinsky’s counsel to do and say whatever it takes to gain power.

"Barack Obama is also an Alinskyite.... Obama spent years teaching workshops on the Alinsky method. In 1985 he began a four-year stint as a community organizer in Chicago, working for an Alinskyite group called the Developing Communities Project.... Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing. While trying to build coalitions of black churches in Chicago, Obama caught flak for not attending church himself. He became an instant churchgoer."

Two troubling video warnings:

1. Vote machine flaws force scramble back to paper: "With the presidential race in full swing, some U.S. states have found critical flaws in the accuracy and security of their electronic voting machines, forcing officials to scramble to return to the paper ballots they abandoned after the 2000 Florida debacle."

2. Princeton scientists Hack Diebold Voting Machine Demo. The next story illustrates the warnings, though the actual problem is slightly different:

Diebold Machine Rejects Ron Paul Votes In Michigan: "I was the first voter, I circled in Ron Paul and put my ballot into the machine. Spit it right back out and said INVALID BALLOT. Second guy gives it a shot. INVALID BALLOT. I begin arguing with the lady running the precinct about computer voting and people voting. This lady actually says in a room full of people that Computers are better at counting ballots than people, cause people make mistakes. Who makes computers?... She says the manufacturer says there is a problem with a memory card. Someone from the manufacturer will be there with a new memory card soon."

Media Bias. For Obama, 'Unity' Is Called 'Liberalism': "Sen. Barack Obama's repeated and eloquent claims to being able to unite Americans are a major reason for his present, and very possibly eventual, success.... The wish that all people be united is an elemental human desire. But there are two major problems with it. First, it is not truly honest. ... If those who call for unity told the whole truth, this is what they would say: 'I want everyone to unite -- behind my values. I want everyone who disagrees with me to change the way they think so that we can all be united. I myself have no plans to change my positions on any important issues in order to achieve this unity. So in order to achieve it, I assume that all of you who differ with me will change your views and values and embrace mine.'...

"It is fascinating how little introspection Sen. Obama's 'unity' supporters engage in -- they are usually the very people who most forcefully advocate multiculturalism... and who oppose something as basic to American unity as declaring English the country's national language.... Given what Sen. Obama's calls for unity really mean -- let's all go left -- it is no wonder he and his calls for unity are enthusiastically embraced by the liberal media." See Mainstream Media

Obama's church: The Black Value System: "These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. ... 1. Commitment to God....[Who] will give us the strength to give up prayerful passivism and become Black Christian Activists.... 2. Commitment to the Black Community. ... 4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education.... 7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect....Self-discipline, coupled with a respect for self, will enable each of us to be an instrument of Black Progress and a model for Black Youth. 8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness.” Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the 'talented tenth' of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.... 11. Pledge Allegiance to All Black Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Black Value System. 12. Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Black Value System. ...and the Advancement of Black People towards freedom." See Third Way: "Christian" Socialism

Pro-Family Truth Campaign Helped Sink Romney in Iowa: "There is a story the media missed in its reporting of Mitt Romney’s humiliating loss in Iowa.... Much as Romney tried to run away from his pro-abortion and pro-gay past –– and as hard as Romney backers like Hugh Hewitt and Jay Sekulow worked to paper over it and discredit his socially conservative critics –– the truth got out.... Where were the Ann Coulter hit-pieces against the man who once promised that he could do more for Massachusetts homosexuals than Ted Kennedy?"

A Stern Warning to the 'Conservative Elites' about Mitt Romney: "Most of us are not allied with any presidential candidate. But we are troubled by the unethical and Orwellian cover-up of Mitt Romney’s role in catastrophic events in Massachusetts, once the cradle of American liberty. Actions he took as governor were beyond the pale. As Romney twice explained to the homosexual 'Log Cabin' Republicans, it would take a Republican to enact their agenda....

"Issue # 1. Mitt Romney established abortion as a 'healthcare benefit' in his own government-run healthcare plan at $50 per abortion — after his supposed 'pro-life conversion.'...He created a permanent, official government role for an unelected Planned Parenthood representative...

"Issue #3. Unforced by anyone, Romney overruled his own Commissioner of Public Health and lied about state law in order to compel Catholic hospitals to issue abortifacient pills — in violation of their freedom of religion enshrined in the United States and Massachusetts Constitutions.... In another flagrant lie about the law, Romney told Catholic Charities’ adoption and foster agency they had to give children to homosexuals even when normal mother-father families were lined up to give them a home....Former governor Dukakis pointed out that the 'state law' that Romney was citing as requiring gay adoption was non-existent.... Romney says the Boy Scouts should accept homosexual scoutmasters....

"Romney has methodically lied about the judges’ legal authority and his own legal duty to enforce the Constitution.... Romney aggressively BOOSTED government funding for pro-homosexuality indoctrination, starting in kindergarten. He refused to defend schoolchildren and parents’ rights against this indoctrination." See Forging a New Global Consciousness

The secret of Ron Paul's success: "The media... do not recognize the appeal of Ron Paul’s no-global-government message.... But it is becoming a major issue among the conservative Republican grassroots. It is so big that it could sink Senator John McCain, who is on record in support of U.S. participation in the U.N.’s notorious International Criminal Court (ICC).... In a speech entitled, 'The Case for an International System of Justice,' MacArthur President Jonathan Fanton declared that the ICC has jurisdiction over 'hate speech,' a comment suggesting that this U.N.-backed tribunal could even be given the go-ahead to prosecute talk-radio hosts like Michael Savage for being critical of radical Islam.

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been trying to force Savage off the air by threatening his advertisers. It just so happens that the main author of the ICC is a Muslim associated with CAIR by the name of M. Cherif Bassiouni, a Professor of Law at DePaul University. ...

"Ron Paul... said in 2002 that both the court and the United Nations ‘are inherently incompatible with national sovereignty. America must either remain a constitutional republic or submit to international law because it cannot do both.’” See Silencing Truth through "Hate Crimes Prevention"

Surveillance. Romney should denounce Bain Capital's Chinese ties: "Romney was the CEO and founder of Bain Capital Partners, a highly successful venture capital and investment firm based in Boston which currently manages more than $50 billion in assets, according to the company's website. Last month, Bain Capital and China's Huawei Technology purchased 3Com in a deal valued at $2.2 billion. The deal gave the Chinese company a minority stake in 3Com, an internet security company. Hunter says that 3Com has contracts with the U.S. Dept. of Defense. However, Bain Capital tells CNN 3Com does not contract with the U.S. government directly, and the Chinese company will not have access to sensitive U.S.-origin technology or U.S. government sales as a result of this transaction."

December 2007

Huckabee [and] New World Order: "Mike Huckabee recently named Richard Haas [President of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)] as his advisor on foreign policy. CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked 'Who are your principal foreign policy advisers, Governor?' Mike Huckabee responded: 'Well, I have a number of people from whom I get policy. I'm talking to Frank Gaffney, I talk to Richard Haas....'

"So what does Richard Haas believe in? Here's an article below which was written by Haas for the Tapei Times. It basically states the Bill of Rights and Constitution should be given up in favor of a cooperative world body run by elite consensus." See excerpts:

State sovereignty must be altered in globalized era (by Richard Haas): "For 350 years, sovereignty... has provided the organizing principle of international relations. The time has come to rethink this notion. ...new mechanisms are needed for regional and global governance that include actors other than states.

"This is not to argue that Microsoft, Amnesty International, or Goldman Sachs be given seats in the UN General Assembly, but it does mean including representatives of such organizations in regional and global deliberations when they have the capacity to affect whether and how regional and global challenges are met. ...

"Moreover, states must be prepared to cede some sovereignty to world bodies if the international system is to function.... Our notion of sovereignty must therefore be conditional, even contractual, rather than absolute.... The goal should be to redefine sovereignty for the era of globalization."

See also "America's Priorities in the War on Terror," a CFR article by Huckabee, published in CFR's Journal, Foreign Affairs, January/February 2008.

Political Corruption. Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s 'Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians' for 2007: "The list, in alphabetical order, includes: 1. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): 3. Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) 4. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) 5. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY) 6. Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR) 8. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) 9. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) 10. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV)." See The Transformation of America

The Ron Paul attraction (by my friend, Henry Lamb. Link has been fixed): "Paul advocates abolishing the Internal Revenue Service. 'Can't be done,' say his critics. Paul advocates withdrawing from the United Nations. 'Can't be done,' say his critics.... But a growing number of common people – the voters of America – are asking why it can't be done.

"It is impossible to champion the principles of freedom, while at the same time, embracing the Law of the Sea Treaty – as far too many Republicans have done. Ron Paul rejects this, and other treaties that ... [encumber] this nation with sovereignty-stealing, money-draining obligations to an international authority." See Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules

War, terrorism & misinformation. CNN and Hillary destabilize Pakistan: "In the wake of Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, Wolf Blitzer of CNN made much of an [anonymous?] e-mail, exclusively provided to him by a close associate of Bhutto and a Hillary Clinton supporter, casting blame on Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf for her murder.... Blitzer called it 'my exclusive report on Benazir Bhutto casting blame for her own assassination two months before it happened.' If killed, she reportedly said in the e-mail, 'I would hold Musharraf responsible. I have been made to feel insecure by his minions…”
"Musharraf, under U.S. pressure, was forced to let her back in the country. Musharraf had to withdraw Interpol notices for her arrest on corruption charges. She is reportedly worth more than $1 billion and has been linked to the U.N.’s oil-for-food scandal. He knew - and she knew - that she would also be in danger from the same al-Qaeda forces that have targeted Musharraf himself. (Musharraf is a target because he has rounded up hundreds of suspected al-Qaeda terrorists... and has turned them over to the U.S.)
"Choosing to blame Musharraf for her murder (in advance of it happening) is about as rational as appearing openly at crowds with thousands of people and then departing in a car with her head poking through a sun roof....
"Senator John McCain noted, like Bush, that Musharraf has been a reliable partner of the U.S. in the war on al-Qaeda terrorism. He has compared himself to Abraham Lincoln holding America together as a sovereign entity and using emergency powers during the Civil War.
"Musharraf.... seized power from a Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, who reportedly accepted bribes from Osama bin Laden and presided over the building of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb.....
"Carter, you may recall, helped undermine and topple the Shah of Iran in the name of promoting human rights and democracy there. That gave us the fanatical Mullahs and their 'peaceful'nuclear program.... Is the Democratic Party position that Musharraf should be toppled, in the same way that Carter helped undermine the Shah?" See Signs of the times

Church Separation: "In an 'Official Declaration' issued on June 8, 1978, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints extended 'priesthood and temple blessings to all worthy male members of the Church.' The church announced that a 'revelation had been received' by its then-president Spencer Kimball. Until then, Mormonism was a defiantly apartheid faith that denied blacks full participation based on doctrinal beliefs that whites are 'pure' and 'delightsome'....

"By 1978, Strom Thurmond, who ran for president in 1948 calling for 'segregation of the races,' had endorsed integration and hired black staffers. Which is to say that in a decades-long march toward civil rights that eventually included even the likes of former Dixiecrats, the LDS church was still bringing up the rear.... In 1978, Mitt Romney was a 31-year-old vice president at Bain & Co. and a lifelong devout Mormon. Throughout his current campaign for the Republican nomination, Mr. Romney has declined to distance himself from the repugnant racial teachings of his church.... And for all his claims to the contrary, Mr. Romney has, in fact, been willing to distance himself from past teachings of the church -- just not those having to do with its treatment of black people."
