The Obama-Ayers meeting: What you haven't been told
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=148037
Most exhaustive investigation ever into prez's background, radical ties
Posted: May 02, 2010
A new book released today uncovers for the first time where and how
President Obama first met Weather Underground terrorist-group founder
William Ayers and it is much earlier than previously believed.
The book reveals the two were brought together by a student of
radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, whose name, it has emerged,
was obscured in Obama's autobiography "Dreams from My Father."
The new book, "The Manchurian President: Barack Obama's Ties to
Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists," charges
Obama has deep ties to an anti-American extremist nexus that has been
instrumental not only in building his political career but in
crafting current White House policy.
The book exposes an extremist coalition of communists, socialists and
other radicals working both inside and outside the administration to
draft and advance current White House policy goals.
With more than 800 citations, the brand new, autographed title from
WND senior reporter and WABC Radio host Aaron Klein bills itself as
the most exhaustive investigation ever performed into Obama's
political background and radical ties. Klein's co-author is historian
and researcher Brenda J. Elliott.
Of all Obama's radical associates from the past, few received more
attention or were as shocking as his connection to Ayers.
Until now, it has been known Obama launched his political career at a
1995 fundraiser in Ayers' Chicago apartment and that the two served
alongside each other from 1995 to 2000 on a hundred-million-dollar
education foundation, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
Ayers was founder of the CAC; Obama was hired as the group's first
chairman. CAC documents dug up during the 2008 presidential campaign
revealed Ayers was in a working group of five who assembled the
initial board of the CAC, which hired Obama. The documents also
revealed Obama and Ayers had a working relationship at the CAC.
Obama would later cite his CAC position as evidence of his
qualification for public office.
However, those probing Obama were left to speculate exactly how Ayers
was so familiar with him that he hired the future politician for the
CAC and hosted the 1995 fundraiser.
"Manchurian President"authors Klein and Elliott found that Obama
worked directly with Ayers in 1988 and that the two were brought
together by a radical Alinsky acolyte who was trained by Alinsky himself.
The Weathermen founder earlier resurfaced after going underground
amid multiple criminal charges related to his extremist activities.
The charges were dropped due to prosecutorial misconduct.
In 1988, in response to a Chicago summit that documented the poor
quality of education in the city, Chicago United, a group founded by
Ayers' father, the late Thomas Ayers, formed a community advocacy
coalition called the Alliance for Better Chicago Schools, or ABC.
Thomas Ayers was the chairman and CEO of Commonwealth Edison.
When he created his ABCs Coalition in June 1988, Thomas Ayers
included Obama in the coalition, Klein and Elliott found. Obama at
the time was director and lead organizer of the Developing
Communities Project, or DCP, an institutionally based community
organization on Chicago's Far South Side. Obama's first job in
Chicago was his DCP position.
The contact for the ABCs Coalition, on which Obama served, was none
other than William Ayers himself, who at the time was at the
University of Illinois at Chicago
Klein and Elliott found documentation, cited in "Manchurian," that
Ayers started attending the ABCs Coalition's monthly meetings, held
over breakfasts of eggs, sausages, rolls, fruit, and coffee in a
conference room on the 57th floor of Chicago's First National Bank
downtown headquarters.
Obama disguised Alinsky radical?
Obama, meanwhile, took his DCP job in 1985. In "Dreams from My
Father," Obama relates his first job in Chicago as a community
organizer and claims the name of his boss at DCP was "Marty Kaufman."
Kaufman, however, doesn't exist. The DCP chief at the time was
actually Marty Kellman, who was trained by Alinsky himself, "The
Manchurian President" documents.
Additionally, Klein and Elliott document the DCP, with Obama as
director, received two grants. One grant was for $40,000 in 1985 and
another for $33,000 in 1986 from the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development, a group that promoted Alinsky-style organizations, the book says.
Write Klein and Elliott: "There can be no doubt, then, that Obama and
Ayers were well-acquainted by 1988, brought together through an
acolyte of Alinsky.
"Perhaps this period serves as the missing link, providing background
to understand how Ayers was so comfortable with Obama's capabilities
that he later would hire the future politician to head the Chicago
Annenberg Challenge, or CAC, a job Obama would in turn claim had
qualified him to run for public office."
Book uncovers radical nexus
Along with a chapter on Ayers, "The Manchurian President" includes an
extensive investigation into Obama's own background. The work
uncovers, among many other things, Obama's early years, including his
previously overlooked early childhood ties to a radical, far-left
church connected to Ayers' ideology.
"The Manchurian President"also unmasks, exclusively, important
aspects of Obama's carefully covered-up college years, with new
details of his student career at Occidental College and later at
Columbia University.
Obama's associations with the Nation of Islam, Black Liberation
Theology and black political extremists are also revealed, with
extensive new information on the subjects.
Also detailed are Obama's deep ties to ACORN, which are much more
extensive than previously documented elsewhere. The book crucially
describes how a socialist-led, ACORN-affiliated union helped
facilitate Obama's political career and now exerts major influence in
the White House.
"The Manchurian President" contains potentially explosive information
not only about President Obama but also concerning other officials in
the White House, including top czars and senior advisers Valerie
Jarrett and David Axelrod.
"The Manchurian President" also exposes how Obama's health-care
policy, masked by moderate populist rhetoric, was pushed along and
partially crafted by extremists, some of whom reveal in their own
words that their principal aim is to achieve corporate socialist
goals and a vast increase in government powers.
"I believe this work is crucial to Americans from across the
political spectrum," says Klein, "including mainstream Democrats who
should be alarmed that their party has been hijacked by an
extreme-left fringe bent on permanently changing the party to fit its
radical agenda.
"Indeed, this book will document, with new information, Obama's own
involvement with a socialist party whose explicit goal was to
infiltrate and eventually take over the Democratic Party and mold it
into a socialist organization," Klein claims.
Klein began investigating Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign
and broke major national stories. He first exposed the politician's
association with Ayers in a widely circulated WND article.
The story prompted the Nation magazine to lament, via the CBS News
website, that "mainstream reporters now call the Obama campaign to
ask about Klein's articles."
It was in a WABC Radio interview with Klein that Ahmed Yousef, chief
political adviser to Hamas, "endorsed" Obama for president,
generating world headlines and sparking controversy. Republican
presidential nominee Sen. John McCain and Obama repeatedly traded
public barbs over Hamas' positive comments.
Klein was among the first reporters to expose that Obama's "green
jobs" czar, Van Jones, founded a communist organization and called
for "resistance" against the U.S. government. The theme was picked up
and expanded upon by the Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck, leading to
Jones' resignation last September.
Co-author Brenda J. Elliott is a historian, author and investigative
researcher known for her blogging during the 2008 presidential
election about Ayers, Tony Rezko and other controversial figures
linked to Obama. Since 1988, Elliott has been responsible for a
number of historical projects, has won an award by Project Censored
for her work and has been named "One of the Intriguing People" by
Central Florida magazine.
The introduction to "The Manchurian President" relates: "Barack Obama
is backed by and deeply tied to an anti-American fringe nexus that,
as this book will show, was instrumental not only in mentoring Obama
and helping him to build his political career, but essentially in
overthrowing the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and in
securing and powerfully influencing Obama's presidency.
"As will be seen, these radical associates not only continue to
influence Obama and White House strategy, but some are directly
involved in creating the very policies intended to undermine or
radically transform the United States of America."
