Topic: The Chosen One

[rickl]

A new article by Angelo Codevilla, in which he analyzes several books written by and about Obama.  I think he breaks new ground in our efforts to understand just what makes the man tick.

Someone may have linked it earlier, but it deserves a thread of its own.  This is a must-read.  

Anyone and everyone knew that Barack Obama, Sr., and others like him had been brought to America to be influenced. How big a part of his attractiveness to her, and hence how big a reason for the pregnancy that produced Barack, Jr., was the foreign affairs angle? The hagiographies, including A Singular Woman, suggest that foreign affairs were the farthest thing from her mind. Yet Ann's second child was born in a marriage to another such person at the East-West Center. The Indonesian government had sent Lolo Soetoro to the East-West Center as a "civilian employee of the Army." But when the shooting started, Soetoro went on active duty, it seems as a colonel. This was arguably the CIA's most significant covert operation, the replacement (between 1965 and 1967) of Indonesia's dictator Sukarno with the Suharto regime that lasted until 1999. Few people on the face of the earth did not realize how important a struggle this was. Suggesting as does A Singular Woman that a very intelligent, very married Ann Soetoro was innocent of and indifferent to the political implications of the struggle she was involved in is incredible.

After the overthrow, Ann ran a "micro-financing" project, financed by the Ford Foundation, in Indonesia's most vulnerable areas. Supervising the funding at Ford in the late '60s was Peter Geithner, whose son would eventually serve hers as U.S. secretary of the treasury. In addition to the Ford Foundation, the list of her employers is a directory of America's official, semi-official, and clandestine organs of influence: the United States Information Agency, the United States Agency for International Development, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank. While running a project for five years in Pakistan, she lived in Lahore's Hilton International. Nothing small time, never mind hippyish.

Jeepers. And right before bed too.

Well, thanks.  That, ahh, just kinda dimmed my day.

But it also reinforces my belief that if we don't kick this bastard to the curb in 2012 then we will be way beyond being in a world of hurt!

  And no telling how big it really is.It just keeps growing and when you thing it's done you find more.

Obama is like a fungus, that is true!

[radioman]

he is on cable lying his a$$ right now, what a crock!

[charlesoakwood]

...what a crook!

[Libertas]

If Obama is talking then Obama is lying, and polluiting the air to dangerous levels for anyone in the immediate area!

I would liken him more to a E-Bola virus! 

[Libertas]

Well, one is stinky dark and hard (but not impossible) to get rid of and thrives on bullsh*t...the other is contagious and has you bleeding out all your orifices before you die a horrible death...

I hope he's just a fungus!

It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key

Discovering anything about Obama is like going down a worm hole.

I tend to not be tin foil hat conspiratorial, but the article in the link is one of those things that make you want to go 'huh'

This is a side piece that ties into Janny Scott's book about Obama's mother

[charlesoakwood]

Jeepers and just before bedtime, is an understatement.

Nor do ordinary folk talk about (or even understand) the need to "change the rules of power" in America. "Rules of power" belongs to the argot of doctrinaire nouveau socialists. How many American college kids would describe, as did Obama, his studying with Marxist professors as an attempt not to look like a "sell out"? No. Obama's official story is counterintuitive.
...
 Ann Dunham, who became vice president of the Bank of Hawaii soon after her arrival there, was in charge of escrow accounts. ..., Madelyn Dunham must have supervised the accounts that the U.S. government used to funnel money to its "gray" and "black" activities throughout Asia. Among the conduits of the CIA money through these accounts to secret CIA proprietaries was a company—Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham & Wong—some of whose officers were serving CIA officers. This is a company whose 1983 IRS audit the CIA stopped. Vice President Madelyn Dunham, in charge of these very matters and hence necessarily "witting" (as they say at Langley), would have had to be more than a small cog in the machine. People do not rise to such stations from one day to the next.

two photos ... One, in the early 1950s, shows Stanley with his daughter, Ann, wearing the insignia of Beirut's elite French language school, Notre Dame de Jamhour. Was the family ever in Lebanon? How did Dad get the sweater? U.S. government influence operations are a likelier explanation...
...
Another photo, published in a Honolulu newspaper in 1959, shows Stanley Dunham escorted by uniformed U.S. Navy officers, greeting Barack Obama, Sr., as he arrived in Hawaii from Kenya. Because Obama was among 80 other Kenyans whom CIA had chosen for sojourns in the U.S. to influence them, it is logical that he and others like him would have been placed around the country in the hands of trusted handlers. The greeting photo suggests that Dunham may well have been one of these, ...

Yip. The man oozes "otherness", and I know beyond doubt that the truth of him is essentially unrelated to the story he's feeding to this nation. I've known it in my gut from the beginning. I was never fooled. Far too many things have never added up - enough to actually form a picture of the truth in the absence of getting it from him.

Only one with malevolent intentions would do and say the things he does and says. Those intentions are a direct link to where he comes from ideologically.

I found that article in a link inside this article

Time to Reboot America

http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/38521

There's lot of links there to other stuff.
Some about O and some other stuff

You have to know what he is doing is intentional becasue if he was just a moron or idiot, he would make a few good calls. He would be shooting all over the place, and sure, a few shots would hit the target. Statisitically, he can't be wrong ALL the time and it not be intentional. IMHO of course.

However,

You can bet on it!

[charlesoakwood]

In 1967, Ramparts magazine's revelation of many leftist groups' dependence on CIA caused the U.S. government to shift its funding of such organizations or their leaders to other agencies—primarily those waging the so-called "war on poverty."

So the LBJ "Great Society" is a CIA program.   


As I read this piece a little voice in the back of my head keeps saying "Ron Paul is right".

Ronald Reagan wasn't the actor in chief he is.  He's coached, coddled, and directed.  He is not psychologically capable to sit in that office much less administrate from it.
