Obama's Radical Revolution: Its Alinsky Roots and Global Vision

Topics: Political News and commentaries
Today's must-read primer on the roots of Obama's Alinsky-ite radical roots and agenda, and his associates that make-up a cabal of international socialists, especially his biggest-moneyed backer, George Soros, is by Kyle-Anne Shiver:
"Radicalism is a cause whose utopian agendas result in an ethic where the ends outweigh and ultimately justify any means.  Like the Salvationist agendas of jihad, the Left's apocalyptic goal of 'social justice' is the equivalent of an earthly redemption.  A planet saved, a world without poverty, racism, inequality, or war - what means would not be justified to achieve such millennial ends?"
  - David Horowitz, former 60s Radical -- Unholy Alliance; p. 127

Saul Alinsky was the father of community organizing.  Before Alinsky devised his diabolical plan to bring the international socialist revolution to America -- working within the very liberal and free system upon which the U.S. was founded -- he was an older fellow traveler and advisor to student radicals of the 1960s. 

Alinsky was a sort of father figure, to whom many radicals turned in the aftermath of the infamous DNC Convention of 1968 in Chicago.  His advice?

"Do one of three things.  One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves.  Two, go psycho and start bombing -- but this will only swing people to the right.  Three, learn a lesson.  Go home, organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates." (emphasis in original)
  -
Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals; p. xxiii

Calm down.  Forget "burning the system down."  Organize.  Organize.  Organize.  Work within the system.   Become the delegates. 

To further empower his advice to the young militants, Alinsky quoted the radicals' hero, Lenin:

"Power comes out of the barrel of a gun! is an absurd rallying cry when the other side has all the guns.  Lenin was a pragmatist; when he returned to what was then Petrograd from exile, he said that the Bolsheviks stood for getting power through the ballot but would reconsider after they got the guns.  Militant mouthings?  Spouting quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara, which are as germane to our highly technological, computerized, cybernetic, nuclear-powered, mass media society as a stagecoach on a jet runway at Kennedy airport?"
  -
Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals; p. xxi

At the time, however, some of the young radicals were still too filled with rage to stop burning and bombing.  These fiery revolutionaries continued to wreak havoc on college campuses and in American cities.  But the end of the Vietnam War brought a welcome sigh of relief to greater America. 

It was time for the radicals to change tactics, and follow Alinsky's advice.  They remained convinced of their destiny to be the ones to bring the U.S.A. into the fold of the international socialist collective.  They began to organize, go to law school, run for public office, whittle away at traditional American institutions, and in all ways prepare for "The One," their closer.

Enter Barack Obama

Obama was raised on the mother's milk of socialism.  Both his parents were fellow travelers, who met at the height of the Cold War in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii.  Obama's grandfather was a close friend of Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, sending young Barry (as he was then known) to him for mentoring, despite (or in ignorance of ) Davis being a pedophile.  From the time he returned from 4 years in Indonesia and rejoined his grandparents in Hawaii at the age of 10, he was taken often to be with Frank Marshall Davis. 

In Obama's book, Dreams from My Father, there is a strange revelation, perhaps intended as a signal of Davis' stamp on Obama's socialist creds.  Obama makes this odd observation:

"The visits to his (Davis') house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn't fully understand."

Dedicating the young Obama to the elder socialist mentor for the collective cause, perhaps? One hopes there were conditions protecting the ten year old from worse than indoctrination, in this "transaction."

Obama did everything Alinsky prescribed.  He went to Chicago, home of Alinsky and the place where Davis had worked for the communist revolution.  Obama trained at the Industrial Areas Foundation, an Alinsky training institute.  He organized in Chicago and did voter registration and training for ACORN.   He went to law school.  He built political alliances.  He kept a tight lock on his records and his past.
