Road Sassy

After 9.11, everyone was all about connecting the dots. Oh, if we only had connected those damn dots, we would have seen those planes coming. Well, try these dots. We posted on how Pelosi’s obstruction of an energy vote looks pretty damn bad in light of her investment in T. Boone Pickens’ wind power scam.

Well, Sweetness & Light connects another dot in her comment on Soros’s $811 million investment in Brazil’s Petroleo Brasileiro Oil.

I quote:

So now we understand the Democrats’ no-drill policies.

They can’t undercut their sugar daddy.

From her article quoted from Bloomberg…

Billionaire investor George Soros bought an $811 million stake in Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras) in the second quarter, making the Brazilian state-controlled oil company his investment fund’s largest holding.

As of June 30, the stake in Petrobras, as the Rio de Janeiro-based oil producer is known, made up 22 per cent of the $3.68 billion of stocks and American depositary receipts held by Soros Fund Management, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Petrobras has since slumped 28 per cent…

In November, Petrobras announced the discovery of Tupi, a field with as much as 8 billion barrels of reserves, making it the largest find in the Americas since 1976.

Now, connect the energy dots to the food chain dots. Soros does, as we noted in Soros, Famine, Energy, and the End of Sovereign Nations. Here is another dot to add to the collection…

Farmland is enjoying its biggest revival in 30 years as investors including George Soros and TIAA-Cref bet that crop prices, chiefly grains, will be supported by shortfalls in production as demand mounts. In parts of the Midwestern U.S., land prices have risen as much as threefold, while broker Knight Frank LLP estimates U.K. values rose 38 percent on average in the first half alone.

“Some of the opportunities internationally are outstanding,” Bridgeman said in an interview at his office in London. He favors farms in Australia, Brazil, Canada and Romania, where he expects higher returns than in the U.S, or his native U.K.

Billionaire investor George Soros owns a stake in Adecoagro SA, the owner of 225,000 hectares (556,000 acres) of farmland in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. TIAA-Cref, the largest manager of retirement funds in the U.S., said it bought $340 million of farmland in seven states in the U.S. at the end of last year.

Bridgeman said investors in the Schroder fund will gain a diversified range of investments spread across Europe, South America and Australia, while the units listed in London will be traded on a daily basis.

The elites have got to really be rolling in belly laughs watching the stupid Americans scrambling about with all of their goofy Green campaigns, their idiot hybrids, their curly light bulbs and now, their tire gauges. As the grown-up countries in the world scramble to get their share of the earth’s resources - and re-arrange a few borders while they are at it - the dimwitted denizens of this once proud nation shed tears over Polar Bears and mother earth.

Soros, Heinz, Pelosi, Bush, Clinton, Obama, McCain, their masters and their multitudinous retinue of lackeys and international troops of minions are re-shaping the world in front of our eyes while, like obsessive compulsive psychopaths, we engage in feverish discussions about who should and who should not be permitted to say nigger during the most critical presidential election in this nation’s history. We ain’t going to be calling each other nothing but losers if we keep acting like the world is the la la land Obama and crew want us to believe.

If a future generation of Americans somehow survive the debacle we now bring upon them, they will curse us from the depth of their souls. As they should, as they damn well should…

Silencing You

Islam and the left together combine to form a sinuous weave, strands of fascist control intertwining in an ever tightening cord of censorship and pure thuggery. Here are two of the most recent examples.

….the oh-so-tolerant leftists have launched a campaign to send “WARNING” letters to potential GOP donors in a thuggish attempt to depress Republican fund-raising. A reader sent me a copy of the actual letter from “Accountable America”–the brainchild of the same MoveOn miscreants who spearheaded the General Betray Us smear

Ironies and hypocrisies abound. Let us count the ways.

You’ve got the nutroots brigade digging up the addresses of GOP donors to chill their political free speech while these same left-wing operatives and their followers label it “stalking” to publish public e-mail contact information for anti-war shills, or to Google Democrat donors, or to vet Democrat health care sob stories by actually reporting on their financial status.

Muslims hate freedom

Starting in 2002, Spokane, Wash., journalist Sherry Jones toiled weekends on a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad. Ms. Jones learned Arabic, studied scholarly works about Aisha’s life, and came to admire her protagonist as a woman of courage. When Random House bought her novel last year in a $100,000, two-book deal, she was ecstatic.

[...]
It’s not going to happen: In May, Random House abruptly called off publication of the book. The series of events that torpedoed this novel are a window into how quickly fear stunts intelligent discourse about the Muslim world.

If any of you remember the movie Dune, Baron Vladimir Harkonen was a particularly nasty piece of work, addicted to power and depravity and more than willing to devastate a planet to sate his appetite. This image has always brought Soros to mind, though Soros isn’t the only suppurating, maggot ridden, power crazy, elitist and would be dictator playing slice and dice with this planet. There have been, and are, many - but none of us were paying attention.

Soros Dreams....

When you start connecting the dots, the manner of our demise as a free nation and the West’s moribound defense of all of our treasured ideals becomes increasingly evident. A Soros here, a think tank there, an infiltrated academia, a global media machine that eclipses any method of indoctrination ever devised by man and citizens in thrall to satiating their ever growing appetite for the venal and the irrelevant. The links these passages are taken from will lead you to some well documented pieces on some of the means and methods of our undoing.

In his book, The Impact Of Science On Society, written in 1952, Bertrand Russell wrote, “At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars … War … has hitherto been disappointing in this respect … but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full … The state of affairs might be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it?”

Certainly that is a line worthy of George Soros and his cadre of elitist social engineers who, in case you haven’t noticed, are doing their damndest to rearrange the very nature of our world.

Russell is expressing a view, long held by many who might be considered “oligarchs”, and who, for many generations, have held themselves to be superior to the vast majority of the population of this planet.

The simple fact is that the world is not “too full.” It might feel like it is, sometimes, as our basic economic infrastructure crumbles round our ears, and as poverty forces the people of large parts of the planet into having large families.

Today’s hikes in oil and food prices are not the result of population fuelled demand, unavailability, or as a lack of capability to produce. They are purely artificial, as the result of Policy.

Perhaps akin to the policy that the Democrats and RINOs are perpetuating with their refusal to drill or build nuclear power plants??

A Democratic senator on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee inadvertently explained why her colleagues have no intention of ending the moratorium on offshore oil drilling or increasing the areas open for exploration and production – no matter how popular the idea might be with gas prices soaring.

In an interview with Bloomberg TV’s “Money and Politics” last night, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., explained Democrats don’t want to increase supplies of oil and gasoline because they want to wean Americans off of petroleum products.(Source)

George Soros and his boy Barack Obama are on the same page…

On the 18th June, Goergie told a Budapest newspaper: “Rather than expecting energy prices to go down somehow, we should accept that it must go further up first, for us to be able to solve the [long-term] problem. Prices must go up first so as to encourage people to consume less.”

So Georgie wants us to consume less

And so does Obama….

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.

“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
(source)

Along with soaring oil prices, add into the mix soaring food prices, partly due to pushing biofuels, and you have the makings of another perfect storm. A storm which George Soros intends to profit from.

Georgie’s mechanism for pushing prices up is typified by his recent acquisition of all the commodities trading and merchandising business of the giant multi-national ConAgra Foods. This acquisition was made by a private investment fund managed by Soros Fund Management LLC, acting as part of a consortium with New York hedge fund Ospraie Management and New York asset manager General Atlantic. The $2.8 billion deal is estimated as the largest acquisition ever by a hedge fund.

The agreement includes 144 ConAgra facilities, located primarily in North America. Renamed Gavilon, the new company provides physical distribution and merchandising of grains, feed ingredients, fertilizer, and energy products; as well as agriculture, energy, and other commodity trading activities, and “risk management services” — i.e., commodity futures derivatives speculation.

It doesn’t stop there. It goes without saying that Georgie is right in there pushing biofuels. Another string to the bow, the biofuels insanity is a strategy that even the greenies don’t want. The ConAgra operations provide “procurement and marketing services” for ethanol and bio-diesel producers, supply chain infrastructure, as well as financial hedging.

If you are wondering how America has willingly moved this close to the precipice, well, it’s been in the works quite a long time. While all of us were enjoying the bounty of the American dream, the elites have been orchestrating a world order where such bounty will come under their control - along with the rest of us. Obama is but one small chess piece in a game far bigger than any of us has dared to imagine. It really doesn’t matter who wins the election, this game will play on. I mean, who’s gonna stop it?

From Population Control and a World Food Authority

The threat of environmental catastrophe to further the population control agenda is nothing new and continues to this day with the manmade global warming scare. Back in the 1970’s the Club of Rome was not shy at using the environmental catastrophe card to push for population control
[...]
The incredible power that would be accomplished from a massive concentration of food stocks under the control of a single agency did not escape the authors of this report to the Club of Rome. The reigning food situation in the world was dominated by the great dependence of many countries on the North American breadbasket. This gave the Americans a considerable amount of power over their dependent countries.

“the American Secretary for Agriculture who has observed: “Food is a weapon. It is one of the principal tools in our negotiating kit” ” - 29

The further centralization of food stocks under a single international power would only increase the abuse of food supplies not decrease it. This, quite naturally, is the point. The result of this control is well described by Bertrand Russell (who strongly supported this idea) in his 1952 book The Impact of Science of Society [2]:

“To deal with this problem [increasing population and decreasing food supplies] it will be necessary to find ways of preventing an increase in world population. If this is to be done otherwise than by wars, pestilence, and famines, it will demand a powerful international authority. This authority should deal out the world’s food to the various nations in proportion to their population at the time of the establishment of the authority. If any nation subsequently increased its population it should not on that account receive any more food. The motive for not increasing population would therefore be very compelling. What method of preventing an increase might be preferred should be left to each state to decide.” - 124

Americans need to understand that a vote for Barack Hussein Obama is a vote for George Soros. You don’t actually believe that Obama comes by any of his so-called “convictions” honestly. His strings are

Soros feeds on America

pulled and his mouth stuffed with words by the handlers who brought him to this point. Without being propelled into national politics he would have remained what he actually is; an activist with a law degree. Gee, those are rare aren’t they?

If Soros manages to get Obama into office, do you think he will just walk away? No. Barack Obama owes Soros. For a black (1/16th) man who pretends to carry the bloody weight of “his people’s” history, he certainly doesn’t mind selling his soul to a white man. And this particular white man will extract what his due him. And Americans will suffer.

Here is another pet project Soros has his money behind. You can be damn sure Barack Obama will facilitate it’s ultimate goals. After all, that’s why Soros chose him.

There’s an interesting move in Pennsylvania to try to remove power from the people to elect judges. I’d never heard of the Merit Selection movement before a friend brought it to my attention this morning, but googling around, it turns out some 20 states already use it. In essence, rather than electing judges, “Merit Selection” puts the power to select judges in the hands of a judicial selection commission, which forwards slates of names from which a governor may choose.
[...]
Whats interesting and creepy is the money for this movement is coming from George Soros, whos giving grants to all kinds of organizations pushing merit selection. Groups such as Justice At Stake and Judgesonmerit.org ….

Someone needs to do a psychological profile of George Soros and get him help. How can a holocaust survivor be so deeply anti-liberty? In the meantime, beware talk of “good judges” and “judicial reform.” It may not mean what you want it to mean.

Money slut Soros

To George Soros (and his bought and paid for boy Obama) rural America is just another third world country to exploit. As I have tried to study Soros and his many tentacled and multifarious tangle of NGO’s and “humanitarian” entities, a type of blue print began to emerge. In almost every country he seeks to subvert, he implements a type of multi-prong agenda which includes, “gender” rights, homosexual “rights”, some version of women’s “rights”, drug legalization, abortion “rights”, gun control along with deluging the subject population with all kinds of “educational” programs. I am glad to see that others recognize his similar approach in America.

The ongoing 2008 Presidential election represents Soros’ importation of the techniques he has utilized for popular subversion in foreign lands to the U.S. political process. MoveOn.org, an organization hugely funded by George Soros, played a central role in Barack Obama’s capture of the Democratic nomination, despite Hillary Clinton’s clear superiority in the popular vote. Although positioned as a pro-Obama instrument long before, as of February of 2008, MoveOn officially backed Obama’s campaign, sending him an army of “volunteers” and an established money machine and fundraising base. As Lyndon LaRouche has repeatedly warned, Obama himself is a throwaway in the financial oligarchy’s plan to capture the Presidency of the United States under conditions of economic collapse. He was promoted to destroy the Clinton candidacy and its potential for a Rooseveltian solution to the financial collapse
Soros buys the nomination… Obama borrows it

And one of the many groups carrying his water in America is the Ameri-phobic ACLU.

ACLU: Moral Morons

…the organization most responsible for the intimidation of Christian religious freedom announced a new, multi-million dollar campaign to expand its work and, “substantially increase the ACLU’s presence and effectiveness from coast to coast by significantly increasing the programmatic and institutional capacity of its affiliates.”

The $335 million project has already raised funds in excess of $258 million. From where? Such liberal dignitaries as George Soros ($12 million), the Leon Levy Foundation ($5 million), and Obama backers Quinn Delaney and Wayne Jordan ($4 million).

So what does this mean for West Virginia? As the announcement from the ACLU notes: “smaller affiliates located mainly in the South and in the country’s heartland [editor's note: this would include West Virginia] will be bolstered by increased resources that will enable them to hire full-time attorneys, launch new advocacy programs, and expand communications and public education initiatives.”

One would guess that in the coming months and years, West Virginians will be blessed with the leftist agenda for which the ACLU has become renowned. Such as:

….championing marriage equality in California and gay rights in Tennessee, . . . fighting the introduction of “intelligent design” curricula in Pennsylvania, . . . overturning abortion bans in Mississippi . . ..
ACLU Plans Major Expansion

See the pattern? Doesn’t matter if it’s an illiterate Malaysian, a poverty stricken Russian, or a simple coal miner in Tennessee, Soros seeks to “educate” them, and there will be plenty of lawyer power to defeat any small, comparatively impotent Christian groups who might try to stir up opposition.

And then here comes Obama…..

Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign announced Wednesday that it is adding 20 offices across Virginia, an unprecedented effort by a presidential candidate and another sign that he plans to compete vigorously in a state that has been on the sidelines during past presidential contests.

The offices, which will open Saturday, will be in nearly every medium-size city in the state, along with a few locations often overlooked by statewide candidates, much less a presidential campaign.
[...]
Many offices will be in traditional Republican strongholds, such as Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley and Lynchburg in southern Virginia. In southwestern Virginia, where Obama performed poorly in the Feb. 12 primary, the campaign will open an office in Bristol and in Castlewood, a town of 2,000 in the heart of the region’s coal country.

“We know we have a lot of work to do in some of these places,” said Kevin Griffis, an Obama spokesman. “Without these sorts of offices there, we are not going to make as much headway as with us there. We think this will, at the very least, help us close the margin.”

Hollywood's insult to America

Quite frankly, it would be better if a bubonic plague were let lose in America’s interior than the vermin released by Soros and the lamentable Obama.

The Hollywood left have caricatured this same rural America in Deliverance. Most every Hollywood portrayal of the “good old boys” is demeaning, rendering these folks as unshaven, tobacco spitting, beer guzzling ignoramuses. I hope that imagery come back to bite these damnable Reprogressives in the ass. In fact, I hope a few of them experience what the characters in Deliverance experienced, though, no doubt, there are some in this leftist incursion who would enjoy it. No, what Soros Obama and Co plan to deliver to rural Americans is a violation far more evil than anything depicted in Deliverance. It is spiritual rape, it is a violation of the heartland that will reverberate for decades should they succeed.

Well, here is an experiment. There are so many topics that I wish I could cover in this blog that just never make it to a post. I especially wish I could dig deeper and write more about the Balkans, Kosovo in particular. Soros could fill several books. I have been fooling myself to imagine that I could tackle any of these subjects with any type of depth and still keep up daily here. It’s one thing to throw up small posts, it’s another thing to dissect an issue thoroughly and offer any cogent argument for or against, with requisite documentation to support the conclusions reached. I have no illusion that my words carry weight in and of themselves.

So the experiment is to solicit writers/bloggers who may have a particular interest in the following:

• Soros
• Kosovo/Serbia/The Balkans
• Free Speech Issues

I am more than willing to share the links and research I have gathering dust in Diigo. I don’t fool myself in thinking I can do any damage to Soros. By the same token, it can’t hurt to describe his multifarious reach throughout the globe. People are usually stunned when made aware of his agenda and how thoroughly it is being implemented.

I also really doubt the accounts of Kosov, Serbia fed to us by mainstream. Nor do we have a full account of the growing muslim presence in the Balkans and America’s damnably unfortunate role in facilitating it.

The importance of covering the encroaching restrictions on speech go without saying. I fear that too many are asleep on this issue as well. So, the more info out there, the better.

Lig and I would appreciate any serious interest. Email either one of us ( see right sidebar) or leave a comment. Sad to say, I can’t pay. And I would add that some may hesitate because of the acerbic and combative tone I tend to maintain in here. (Ligneus is far more gracious) I am willing to discuss ameliorating that a bit. Other details can be discussed via email or Skype.

The following piece is reproduced in it’s entirety from Discover the Networks. I, like thousands of bloggers, it would seem, have been tracking down all of Obama’s little Marxist/Commie/Socialist playmates. I was scouting out his relationship with self-declared Socialist Bernie Sanders - more on that later - and in doing so, ran into this piece describing Obama’s brief relationship with something called the “New Party”. While reading, you’ll find the group ACORN referenced. Please, also read a thorough examination of Obama’s intimate ties with that group, by Stanley Kurtz - Inside Obama’s Acorn.

Americans drink, eat, and breathe freedom from birth. Obama aims to change that, let there be no doubt. The following will give you an idea of the kind of politics Obama plays.

The New Party

• Marxist political coalition
• Was active from 1992-1998
• Endorsed Barack Obama for Illinois state senate seat in 1996

Co-founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor (a former staffer for Jesse Jackson’s 1988 presidential campaign) and Joel Rogers (a sociology and law professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), the New Party was a Marxist political coalition whose objective was to endorse and elect leftist public officials — most often Democrats. The New Party’s short-term objective was to move the Democratic Party leftward, thereby setting the stage for the eventual rise of new Marxist third party.

Most New Party members hailed from the Democratic Socialists of America and the militant organization ACORN. The party’s Chicago chapter also included a large contingent from the Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

The New Party’s modus operandi included the political strategy of “electoral fusion,” where it would nominate, for various political offices, candidates from other parties (usually Democrats), thereby enabling each of those candidates to occupy more than one ballot line in the voting booth. By so doing, the New Party often was able to influence candidates’ platforms. (Fusion of this type is permitted in seven states — Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Mississippi, New York, South Carolina, and Vermont — but is common only in New York.)

Though Illinois was not one of the states that permitted electoral fusion, in 1995 Barack Obama nonetheless sought the New Party’s endorsement for his 1996 state senate run. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

In 1996, three of the four candidates endorsed by the New Party won their electoral primaries. The three victors included Barack Obama (in the 13th State Senate District), Danny Davis (in the 7th Congressional District), and Patricia Martin, who won the race for Judge in the 7th Subcircuit Court. All four candidates attended an April 11, 1996 New Party membership meeting to express their gratitude for the party’s support.

The New Party’s various chapters similarly helped to elect dozens of other political candidates in a host of American cities.

One of the more notable New Party members was Carl Davidson, a Chicago-based Marxist who became a political supporter of Barack Obama in the mid-1990s.

In 1997 the New Party’s influence declined precipitously after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that electoral fusion was not protected by the First Amendment’s freedom of association clause. By 1998 the party was essentially defunct. Daniel Canto and other key party members went on to establish a new organization with similar ideals, the Working Families Party of New York.

Crumbling home prices and $100 oil helped Wall Street’s Highest Earners pull in $19 billion last year.Problems paying the mortgage, filling the gas tank and feeding the family have eroded living standards for millions of Americans during the past several months.

Not so for people who manage big piles of money–many of them made a fortune betting correctly on the housing debacle and rising commodity prices last year.Our second annual look at the pay of folks who run hedge and private equity funds shows that the top 20 took home a collective $18.7 billion last year, 43% more than in 2006.

To even make the list you needed minimum earnings of $350 million, which is $90 million higher than the year before. No chief executive of a traditional Wall Street investment bank even came close…For hedge fund billionaires Pickens and second-ranked George Soros ($2.4 billion), whose own investments compose a significant portion of their funds, there’s more to be made from asset appreciation than from fees.

George Soros is a man who has invested heavily into destroying America and Barack Hussein Obama has been his boy for a long time. But then Obama, as evidenced by his array of sordid supporters, mentors and “spiritual” advisors, is a good match for Soros; man of guile, an egomaniacal manipulator, and a self-loathing Jew who was happy to profit from his people’s slaughter. Yup, there certainly are a good many Jew haters in Obama’s crowd.

I felt that this old interview with Soros that I found via Right Wing News is worth posting. Another piece of the puzzle that, as it becomes complete, gives us the true nature of America’s own dime store jesus, Obama.

Steve Kroft: And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.

George Soros: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that’s when my character was made…

Steve Kroft: …My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

George Soros: Yes. Yes.

Steve Kroft: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.

George Soros: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

Steve Kroft: I mean, that’s’that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?

George Soros: Not-not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don’t - you don’t see the connection. But it created no-no problem at all.

Steve Kroft: No feeling of guilt?

George Soros: No.

Steve Kroft: For example that, I’m Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there? None of that?

George Soros: Well, of course I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn’t be there, because that was-well, actually, in a funny way, it’s just like in markets- that if I weren’t there- of course, I wasn’t doing it, but somebody else would-would-would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the-whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the-I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt.

If Obama is presented with the opportunity to destroy America, Soros will have found his monies well invested, and trust me, neither man will feel a twinge of guilt.

Do you think we can get beyond the diversion of skin color to the real issues that ought to concern Americans when considering Barack Hussein Obama. I’m sure his handlers would love to keep playing the race card as a diversion from the house of Marxist cards that shelters the political masters whom Obama actually serves. And make no mistake about it, he intends to make Americans serve the same masters.

The Reverend Jeremiah Wright vaudeville show needs to be sent ‘moving on down the road’ so that this man who dares to look covetously towards the Oval Office is stripped, finally, of his masquerade . Then let the people judge if the unadorned visage of a Marxist man will play well on America’s stage.

Below is an excerpt from Cliff Kincaid’s well researched report inquiring into Obama’s Marxist mentors, communist ties and deep immersion in the of hatred of America.

…Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just “Frank.”

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What’s more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.
[...]

Is “coalition politics” at work in Obama’s rise to power?

Trevor Loudon, the New Zealand-based blogger who has been analyzing the political forces behind Obama and specializes in studying the impact of Marxist and leftist political organizations, notes that Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator’s victory in the Iowa caucuses.

“Obama’s victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle,” Chapman wrote. “Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary ‘mole,’ not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through.”

OBAMA’S SECRET SOCIALIST CONNECTIONS

Obama’s socialist backing goes back at least to 1996, when he received the endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that Obama, as a state senator, showed up to eulogize Saul Mendelson, one of the “champions” of “Chicago’s democratic left” and a long-time socialist activist. Obama’s stint as a “community organizer” in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his relationship with the DSA socialists, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.

Blogger Steve Bartin, who has been following Obama’s career and involvement with the Chicago socialists, uncovered a fascinating video showing Obama campaigning for openly socialist Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Interestingly, Sanders, who won his seat in 2006, called Obama “one of the great leaders of the United States Senate,” even though Obama had only been in the body for about two years. In 2007, the National Journal said that Obama had established himself as “the most liberal Senator.” More liberal than Sanders? That is quite a feat. Does this make Obama a socialist, too?

DSA describes itself as the largest socialist organization in the United States and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International. The Socialist International (SI) has what is called “consultative status” with the United Nations. In other words, it works hand-in-glove with the world body.

The international con-nection is important and significant because an Obama bill, “The Global Poverty Act,” has recently been rushed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with the assistance of Democratic Senator Joe Biden, the chairman, and Republican Senator Richard Lugar. The legislation (S.2433) commits the U.S. to spending hundreds of billions of dollars more in foreign aid on the rest of the world, in order to comply with the “Millennium Goals” established by the United Nations. Conservative members of the committee were largely caught off-guard by the move to pass the Obama bill but are putting a “hold” on it, in order to try to prevent the legislation, which also quickly passed the House, from being quickly brought up for a full Senate vote. But observers think that Senate Democrats may try to pass it quickly anyway, in order to give Obama a precious legislative “victory” that he could run on.(all emphasis mine)
read it all…CFP: Is Barack Obama A Marxist Mole?

I’ve been rummaging through my archives again. Not getting very far with my retrieval process, but I was able to dig up a post I remembered doing on Barack Obama back in July of 2004 when he was capitalizing on Republican Jack Ryan’s inopportune revelation of sexual improprieties (fatal for Repubs, but never for Dims). In retrospect, I do wonder if the revelations of Ryan’s indiscretions were a gift from Soros along with campaign money.

At the time I wrote this, my focus was on Soros for whom I was developing, and still maintain, a visceral revulsion. I was doing quite a few posts on him, all of which I think I shall resurrect shortly given that his hand was as deeply in that election as it is in the present one. But then, as I have always referred to him, that “money slut” will tryst with the devil himself if it will hurt freedom and America.

But anyway, as it is, I can see I was a bit prescient. I thought at the time that Obama portended ill for the future, and I was, unfortunately correct.

From 2004, “Barack Obama Belongs to Soros”

There has been much acclaim from all sides for the emergence of one Barack Obama. Given the quotes I heard repeated, I was ready to become interested in this young man who might indicate a return of his, presently, leftist party, to it’s roots. I think now, however, my observations will be more towards watching how Soros grooms one of his own.

It appears the man has no problem consorting with the devil. And no problem saying just what folks want to hear. What do you want to bet that speech flowed from the pen of a Soros acolyte. Yup, it is indeed a dark day coming.

“Obama, however, is different from most Democrats because of his willingness to embrace the controversial Soros. Shortly after Soros equated the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Obama joined him for a New York fund-raiser June 7.

The event, held at Soros’ home, boosted Obama’s campaign at a time he was still facing a challenge from Republican Jack Ryan. After news broke about information in Ryan’s divorce records, the candidate was forced to drop out. The Illinois GOP has yet to find a replacement.”

[and]
Little has been made of his connection to Soros, although it is quite unique. Not only did George Soros donate to Obama’s campaign, but four other family members - Jennifer, sons Jonathan and Robert and wife Susan - did as well.

Because of a special provision campaign finance laws, the Soroses were able to give a collective $60,000 to Obama during his primary challenge. Obama faced millionaire Blair Hull, which allowed donors to give more than typically allowed.
Obama is one of only a handful of candidates to get a personal contribution from George Soros. The others include Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), Bob Graham (D-Fla.), John Kerry (D-Mass.), Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), U.S. Rep. Tom Lantos, and former Vermont governor Howard Dean

“Why did George support Obama?” his spokesman, Michael Vachon, asked rhetorically. “Because when they met in Chicago a couple of months ago, it was apparent that Barack Obama was an emerging national leader, and he would be an important addition to the Senate.”

Vachon said Obama is the only candidate this election cycle Soros has met personally, with the first powwow in March.”

“Barack Obama and his liberal voting record have gotten a free ride,” Gerwig said. “His aspirations seemed to be focused more nationally now than they do on Illinois, especially if you look at some of the money he’s taken from Soros and from left-coast liberals.”
[and]
“He’s more of a socialist than he is even a Democrat,” said a critic, Cathy Santos, co-founder of the Chicago-based Republican Young Professionals. “A lot of his policies have the government taking care of people. Instead of giving people a leg up, he would rather give them a leg.”

Soros initially was attracted to Obama because of his vision on education and health care, Vachon said. But Santos said if Obama got his way, the U.S. health care system would be worse than what Clinton proposed after her husband was elected president. She also said voters should be wary of Obama’s “any time, anywhere” stance on abortion.”
Unlike Kerry, Barack Obama Covets George Soros’ Support

I guess I’m a simple soul. Divided loyalties would likely bother me. If I had a salesman for my product A and I found out that he admired my competitor’s product B so much so that he could not bring himself to design an ad campaign that would knock my competition off the radar, well, I’d send that employee packing.

But I doubt Juan McCain will send his “ad guru”, Mark McKinnon, packing. I wouldn’t be surprised if he shared his sentiments since it is amply evident that McCain deviates from the accepted definition of loyalty.

It was in an interview with the Austin American-Statesman published June 8, McKinnon said, “If the Democratic nominee is Barack Obama, I will not work in the general election.”

Claiming he would still support and vote for McCain, McKinnon continued, “I just don’t want to work against an Obama candidacy.”

On Feb. 1, Richard Wolffe wrote in Newsweek that McKinnon filed an internal memo with the McCain campaign pledging not to tape ads against Obama if Obama were to become the Democratic Party nominee.

Earlier, Dec. 5, 2006, in an appearance with Tucker Carlson on MSNBC before joining the McCain campaign, McKinnon said, “I think Barack Obama is one of the most exciting politicians to come along in a long time.”

Michael Centanni, chief executive officer ofBMW, a direct fund raising agency, expresses principles that I can relate to. That agency declined working on the McCain campaign.

“We actually had an internal debate about this,” Centanni said, “and we decided our reputation as conservatives was much more important to us than the significant amount of money we could make working for McCain.”

”It’s one thing if you’re a guy who owns a printing company, but it’s another thing to come up with the ideas,” he asked. “How can you be creative when your heart is actually with another candidate?”

And how can you vote for a candidate whose heart lingers in the enemy camp. And if there were not McKinnon to ponder over, reports have emerged putting McCain in bed with Soros.

In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.

McCain used the institute to promote his political agenda and provide compensation to key campaign operatives between elections.

And it is a crowded bed, with at least an additional four current McCain’s campaign staffers having all been in the employ of the Reform Institute. But hey, they are all on the same page, it turns out, with the Institute supporting McCain legislation that conservatives have adamantly oppose, “including… campaign finance reform, global warming and “comprehensive immigration reform…”

How much of Soros money was behind McCain’s sudden surge to the forefront? McCain helped author the bill that opened the floodgates of venomous journalism and media campaigns that Republicans have been lambasted with in the last three elections.

Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.) has made it possible for George Soros and other billionaire transnationalists to effect and determine the outcome of our elections and thus U.S. destiny, indeed world destiny. And that is exactly what the wealthy internationalists have always craved.

The liberal cancer that has broken America’s back and poisoned it’s soul has never beeen more evident to me than when contemplating the charlatans and clowns we have elevated as “leaders”.

One expects promiscuity from the left. Progressives are usually rather proud of their many indiscriminate liaisons and Juan McCain has proven to be as promiscuous as his progressive brethren. Ooops! I forgot. He’s a Republican RINO, willing to get in bed with just about anyone.

As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with left-wing donors such as George Soros and Teresa Heinz Kerry is receiving new attention among his Republican critics.
