Even though Barack Obama’s association with Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers has received more attention, one of Obama’s early associates has been overlooked.  CNN’s Barack Obama truth piece correctly pointed out that Obama has had frequent contact with William Ayers, but it was state legislator Alice Palmer who personally chose Obama as her hand-picked successor.

But who is Alice Palmer?

In 1995, Alice Palmer was an incumbent State Senator from Chicago’s south side.  Yet her career as a radical began in the 1960s.

Former State Senator Alice Palmer was educated at Malcolm X College in Chicago and moved on to get a Ph.D from Northwestern University.  

While that’s not subversive, the New Zeal Blog writes, “Palmer, with her husband was also inviolved in the Chicago based Black Press Institute. It was as a representative of this organisation that Palmer served on the executive board of the US Peace Council from 1983 to 1985.”

The U. S. Peace Council is an important part of the radical equation:  ”The US Peace Council, was according Rob Prince of the Colorado Federation of Teachers, created by the Communist Party USA.”

The Blog also says, “In Lawrence S Wittner’s 2003 book, The Struggle Against the Bomb, Prince, a 15 year veteran of the CPUSA National Council describes how he was “part of a nucleus of Communist party activists” that set up the US Peace Council in 1978/79.  There were several known communists serving alongside Palmer on the Peace Council executive.”

Renew America reports that as a member of the Black Press Association, Palmer wrote for the People’s Daily World, the newspaper of the Communist Party USA:  ”In 1986, Palmer wrote an article for the People’s Weekly World, a house organ for the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). In that dispatch, Palmer favorably recounted her experiences attending the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.” 

To announce his campaign for the State Senate, Obama held a September, 1995 rally at the lakefront Ramada Inn.  The 200+ person event was emceed by Alice Palmer and covered by the Hyde Park Herald and was merely the public announcement.  

An earlier political meeting at the home former Weather Underground Terrorist William Ayers, and planned by Alice Palmer, was Obama’s real intro to Chicago politics.  This gathering was a Who’s Who of Chicago militant politics.  

The New Zeal Blog says, “In 1995 Palmer introduced Obama to many of Chicago’s radical elite in the home of former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn. Also present was Obama’s long time friend, neighbour and supporter Quentin Young, a member since 1983 of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Young was once accused by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities of being a member of the Communist Party USA-specifically the North Chicago based communist doctors branch, the Bethune Club.”

Knowing the damage the association could do to Obama’s campaign, his campaign staff has tried to downplay the relationship.  The Obama campaign has said that Senator Obama actually challenged Alice Palmer for the State Senate seat.  

The Investor’s Business Daily reports that the Obama campaign says “Palmer ‘pulled her own plug.’”

In the same story, the IBD tells us that ABC News senior correspondent Jake Tapper writes, “It is Obama who is the truth-challenged one. ‘This is not a lie, this is true,’ Tapper says. ‘Palmer had decided to run for Congress, and Obama was tapped to run to replace her. When Palmer lost in the (U.S. House) primary, she wanted to stay as a state senator. Obama said no. He had every right to do so, but he decided to fight her for the nomination instead of stepping aside in deference to her.’” 

The story goes deeper and there are far more connections than we can report in this space.  

Yet, these details raise serious questions.  Why did Obama’s rise in Chicago politics come from the extreme, radical left?  Why were so many of his mentors members of the Communist Party, USA or other radical socialist groups?

What do these facts tell us about how he will govern if he wins the White House?

Philip J. Berg, lifetime democrat, documents the inconsistencies in the Barack Obama claim to “naturalized” birthright.

Highlights:
August 21, 2008:
Philip J. Berg sues to get Obama’s proof of natural citizenship.

Factcheck.org claims document on Obama site is correct.
Factcheck certificate shows a different seal than Obama’s website.
Factcheck owned by the Annenberg of Chicago- Obama sat on this board for 16 years- disbursing 60 million dollars.

Obama’s grandmother in Kenya tells everyone she is so proud because she was there when he was born—in Kenya-
Sister claims one Hospital in Hawaii, Obama claims another.

When Obama’s mother divorced, and remarried a man from Indonesia.
He went to Indonesia- could only go to school if he was an Indonesian citizen.
As Barry Sotoro, was registed as Indonesian Citizen.

Indonesia did not provide dual citizenship.
If he came back through immigration, he would be a naturalized citizen.
If he didn’t, he’s not a citizen.
Either way, he’s not a natural-born citizen.

Got this from http://stix1972.typepad.com/stix_blog/ Obama’s Caucus strategies- steal 15% of the delegates with 3% of the voters- how Obama used intimidation, bullying, and fraud to steal the Caucuses, and how the democratic party let them do it.

Remember the Hegel dialectic? Ever since the Neocons launched the spread of democracy as a strategy against global terrorism, the meme entered the system that … well, ‘democracy, far overrated’ …

… this is now further shifting to ‘give us a dictator’ … it’s still put in the words of hapless Iraqis (how do we know this isn’t made up on the spot anyway?) … the next stop is some code for ’strong man–now!’ …

An exaggeration? We sure hope so! Wake up! This is not boding well … at all!

Perhaps we should let Yahoo know what meme has entered their wire. Give ‘em a buzzz z

It’s about time to revisit the wonderful world of Pomo Lingo! A new awareness campaign is indicated, because the Republican candidates happen to be the latest unsuspecting victims of its vicious intricacies.

Perhaps we should clarify once more that “the Democratic Party has been hijacked by fanatics. It can no longer claim the heritage of Truman, JFK, Barbara Jordan, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Scoop Jackson, Zell Miller. Instead, the party has been overrun by parasites and subversives (…)”. That would be, what are loosely termed Postmodernists, an amalgam of Kant/Hegel followers who are all in possession of the same collectivist and subjective mindsets. They liked to refer to reason as “the whore of the Enlightenment”. Go figure.

In a recent post we explained that one Pomo way of shutting up an opponent is the racial slur, or any other expression of political correctness: it imposes self-censorship.

A striking example from the campaign trail is the mindboggling chutzpah of Gov. David Paterson, referring to the McCain-Palin ticket as “vampires” and “blood suckers,” while a day or so later accusing them of racism. Paterson has devised a delightful Postmodern thing no one has ever heard of: satirizing the profession of community organizing is “racist code”! Who would have thought …

It’s Subjectivism in action: two parties, two standards: he - Paterson - is allowed to violate any standard of polite human interaction, while at the same time building a trumped up case against his opponents. See it if you will, as the redistribution of speech rights.

It’s very clever, and it works like positive discrimination: the more victimhood, the more speech rights (in tone, decibels, duration, weight and offensiveness). Paterson is very justified in his action because he - as a Democrat - is speaking in the name of all victimhood.

John McCain - like the gentleman that he is - unawares of the booby traps set by Pomo lingo, has already fallen in line. Very effective, is Pomo lingo.

You could say that in a way, Postmodernists are beyond caring if they’re making sense or not, let alone if they’re fit for polite society. Of course they aren’t consistent, which would call for one set of rules for everyone: their rage is entirely justified and healthy blowing off steam, whereas John McCain is a raging, certifiable geriatric (code word: erratic).

The expediency of Pragmatism says: so what - the end justifies the means - our end is so ‘ethical’, that unethical tactics are allowed.

Looking and hearing Pomos in action one often thinks of National Socialist ideologue Joseph Goebbels, who said that if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Think of the myths surrounding the Iraq war! Postmodernists - sharing with the National Socialists the anti-reason roots of Kantian and Hegelian thought, often practice that same sort of audacity (dare I use that word, or would that qualify as ‘code for fascists’?).

For all of the above reasons, debates with Pomos are not very well possible. For one thing, since they reject there’s any objective truth to arrive at in the first place, there’s no one party who is right and another who is in the wrong. Logically speaking, this would include themselves, but then we come to more expediency - ‘we don’t do unevolved logic.’

But more than anything else - and here the irrational plot thickens to even more frightening proportions - they aren’t after truth, AND their gut feeling tells they are right … anyway, they’re after winning, one way of another, pitting sheer Will against reason (!).

So key are: irrationality, subjectivity, will and expediency, end justifies the means mentality, we are right, whatever …

Another mistake is to expect precision of terms. Definitions are pliable and totally depend on the person’s point of view at a given moment in time.

From the campaign trail: the indignation about the fake accusation that Barack Obama is a “terrorist.”

Two things are happening here: para-exegesis and fake rage. The para-exegesis is the deliberate misinterpretation of the accusation. No one - except perhaps a hapless pundit giving way to prolonged provocation - has accused Obama of being a terrorist. The real morality behind the problem of hobnobbing with Ayers is the lack of judgment, promoting Sandinista type school councils (LSCs), making the Presidency vulnerable to blackmail, and showing a pattern of associating with the enemies of the land, a trait bordering treasonous behavior.

It takes some getting used to recognizing and rebutting Pomo lingo. If we have the choice, it is best not to ‘debate’ them at all. They cannot be persuaded of any opinion other than their own and, frustration through lack of objectivity mounting, will only result in shouting matches and ad hominem attacks on their part, and bewildered confusion on the other (which is precisely what was intended).

However since we must, given the nature of democratic process, would suggest finding a way to deal with their utter dishonesty, and formulate a proper answer to their Declaration of Total Culture War - they would.
