Memory Hole Dredged: Melanie Phillips’ 2008 Article on
Obama

Pinch yourself
The
contrast between, on the one hand, the huge amount of material about Obama’s
radical associations that has been published in on-line journals and in a few
brave newspapers, and on the other the refusal by big media to address it and
to vilify those who do, becomes more astounding by the day. The Obamaniacs are
spinning the relationship between Obama and William Ayers, former of Weather
Undergound Terrorism Inc, as of no consequence because this was supposedly a
chance acquaintance and because the educational project they worked on, the
Annenberg Challenge, was a worthy one.
Stanley Kurtz
now nails that canard by showing how, through the Annenberg Challenge, Obama
and Ayers channelled funds to extremist anti-American Afrocentric ‘educational’
programmes which were a carbon-copy of the world view of Pastor Jeremiah
Wright, Obama’s black racist mentor who, under pressure, Obama was forced to
repudiate. These programmes promoted, amongst other radical ideas, the
‘rites of passage’ philosophy which attempted to create a ‘virtually separate
and intensely anti-American black social world’ in order to ‘counter the
potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society.’ One
such teacher taught that
‘The
submission to Western civilization and its most outstanding offspring, American
civilization, is, in reality, surrender to white supremacy.’
Kurtz
concludes:
However
he may seek to deny it, all evidence points to the fact that, from his position
as board chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Barack Obama knowingly and
persistently funded an educational project that shared the extremist and
anti-American philosophy of Jeremiah Wright.
No
surprise there, since back in June Kurtz
pointed to evidence that Obama shared the black racism of the Trinity United
Church of Christ. In this article Obama was reported as rejecting
‘integrationist assimilation’ and wanting to channel black rage more
effectively into political organisation. Kurtz dug out a chapter in a 1990 book
called After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois in which Obama
sketched out how radical black churches could be harnessed to help radicalise
the black population. As Kurtz wrote:
So
it would appear that Obama’s own writings solve the mystery of why he stayed at
Trinity for 20 years. Obama’s long-held and decidedly audacious hope has been
to spread Wright’s radical spirit by linking it to a viable, left-leaning
political program, with Obama himself at the center. The revolutionizing power
of a politically awakened black church is not some side issue, or merely a
personal matter, but has been the signature theme of Obama’s grand political
strategy.
Those
few brave souls who do try to enlighten the public about all this come up
against the kind of intimidation by Camp Obama charted here by Michael Barone:
Stanley
Kurtz appeared on Milt Rosenberg's WGN radio program in Chicago. Mr. Kurtz had
been researching Mr. Obama's relationship with unrepentant Weather Underground
terrorist William Ayers in Chicago Annenberg Challenge papers in the Richard J.
Daley Library in Chicago - papers that were closed off to him for some days,
apparently at the behest of Obama supporters. Obama fans jammed WGN's phone
lines and sent in hundreds of protest e-mails. The message was clear to anyone
who would follow Mr. Rosenberg's example. We will make trouble for you if you
let anyone make the case against The One.
Other
Obama supporters have threatened critics with criminal prosecution. In
September, St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch and St. Louis City
Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce warned citizens that they would bring criminal
libel prosecutions against anyone who made statements against Mr. Obama that
were ‘false.’ I had been under the impression that the Alien and Sedition Acts
had gone out of existence in 1801-'02.
Not so, apparently, in metropolitan St.
Louis. Similarly, the Obama campaign called for a criminal investigation of the
American Issues Project when it ran ads highlighting Mr. Obama's ties to Mr.
Ayers.
No
such threats, of course, will be made against this new book
whose publication is tactfully timed for next year so as not to frighten the
horses -- Race Course Against White Supremacy, by none other than
William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Meanwhile,
it turns out that not only did Obama do favours for convicted Chicago fraudster
Tony Rezko, but as this story
reports Alexi Giannoulias, who reputedly bankrolled Michael ‘Jaws’ Giorango, a
Chicagoan twice convicted of bookmaking and promoting prostitution, became
Illinois state treasurer last year after Obama vouched for him, and has now has
pledged to raise $100,000 for Obama’s campaign.
You
have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored
by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of,
funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus
comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists,
unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming
President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say
so.
