Khalid al-Mansour, George Soros And The Creation Of Barack Hussein Obama

Obama’s links to hardcore anti-American people and groups is so pervasive that had he applied to work at the White House prior to becoming president, he would NOT have received a security clearance.

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

In 2004, the Democratic Party introduced their hopeful candidate for a future presidential election – Barack Hussein Obama.

EDITOR’S NOTE: It has been said by many that Barack Hussein Obama “came out of nowhere” to become president of the United States. No, that is not true. As this article will clearly show, the hand-picked, young Barry Soetoro was carefully designed. groomed and crafted by New World Order puppet-masters to become the virulently Anti-American wrecking ball that is Barack Obama. The roots of this deception and betrayal go all the way back to 1979.

It was quite an amazing speech that night. It was obvious that this man was a masterful orator; unfortunately, it was not obvious that the one commanding the attention of the DNC and millions of viewers across the nation, was a radical Marxist Socialist.

During his campaign in 2008, associations and events from Obama’s life began to surface. Since I had heard BHO speak during the DNC in 2004, red flags were waving everywhere — I had to find out who this man really was. I began to dig.

The New World Order conceived the idea of a Barack Hussein Obama in a Liberal Think Tank, to be used as an anti-American Pac-Man to be set loose inside the White House and gobbling up everything is sight. They have been astonishingly successful.

I saw that he was a friend of unrepentant homegrown terrorist, Bill Ayers. Ayers called himself a small “c” Communist, and was the head of Weather Underground in the 1960’s. Ayers was convicted of bombing federal buildings, and today is a professor and writer, indoctrinating impressionable students to become future Marxist/Socialist/Communists.

We saw Obama’s long time friend and pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who instead of preaching about Jesus and His call to “Love thine enemy” was heard to say “God damn America!” Wright is a well known Black Liberation theologian. Obama sat under his America-hating vitriol for twenty years, but claims that the reverend never spoke this way to him personally.

Obama’s lifelong association with hardcore anti-American radical groups

“Obama’s links to hardcore anti-American people and groups is so pervasive that had he applied to work at the White House prior to becoming president, he would NOT have received a security clearance. The media knew much of this info but made a concerted effort to avoid stories about Obama’s background. During the 2008 presidential campaign, this author even sent evidence of Obama’s 1996 “New Party” (a socialist party) membership to a half dozen prominent reporters and received no response.”

I had read about the possibility that Obama had been closely linked to the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party. I went to that website and began to search. I found out that Obama had been propped up by this organization in his bid for State Senator. I found out that he had been honored at various dinners at the CDSP. I even began a conversation via email with then head of that organization, Bob Roman. I told him that I was interested in the party and wanted to find out more. He was friendly, and happy that I showed an interest. Then one day, I came right out and asked him if Obama was a member of their party. Mr. Roman abruptly ended any correspondence with me.

Once Obama was elected and inaugurated, he began filling his administration with Socialists and Communists. He even made up new positions; remember the Czars? If you look up a profile on any of them, you will find that they were unashamedly Communist. Obama even relieved some of the appointees, realizing that their backgrounds were too radical, even for him.

“Lets pretend for a second that a Republican presidential nominee was raised by a KKK leader, attended KKK events, joined a KKK-backed political party, and appointed KKK activists to key positions in his campaign. Would the media have reported that? Of course! Indeed, it would have caused such a firestorm that the nominee would have been forced from the race. Even though socialism /communism has caused at least 60 million deaths worldwide, our media has decided that it is more acceptable than racism. This is because many reporters are leftists who still believe in the socialist utopia dream. It should be clear by now that our media is treacherous and cannot be trusted to do what’s best for the country.” [1] – source

Did you know that as early as 2006, the GOP leadership knew of all of Obama’s Socialist/Communist associations, but decided not to make an issue of it during the campaign? Now why on earth would they do that?

Finding out about Obama’s socialist background is not difficult and is quite easy to dig up. But one thing is clear: Obama is a true-blue believer in socialism, and the evidence for this is simply overwhelming.

Throughout his life, Obama worked with and for a variety of prominent communists and socialists. He served on numerous boards – such as the Woods Fund — with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, who calls himself a “small c communist.”
Obama launched his first campaign with a fundraiser at Bill Ayers’ house.
Obama’s father was a socialist economist for the Kenyan Government. His white mother was raised by socialists.
His African grandparents were socialists.
In Obama’s own biography, he says his main mentor from age 8 to 18 was Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying Communist Party leader (Party #47544) who hated everything America stood for. Davis practically raised Obama since, contrary to popular mythology, his father NEVER lived with him and his mother pretty much abandoned him. Moreover, Davis was involved in espionage against the West, as his FBI file indicates.
While at Occidental College, Obama traveled in the same circles as Dr. John Drew, a well known communist activist on campus. Drew says that Obama “was a Marxist-Leninist in his Sophomore year of college….” He also relates that Obama was far more radical than he was in that he actually supported a violent communist revolution IN THE USA.
Obama gave speeches on campus sponsored by Tom Hayden’s socialist youth group, the Students for Economic Democracy.
In his biography, Obama says that, during college, he was attracted to “Marxists professors.” Indeed, he attended “Socialist Scholars Conferences” in 1983 and 1984.
Once out of college, Obama worked for and with a number of groups associated or founded by Saul Alinsky, a nationally renowned socialist community organizer.

Connecting Barack Obama with Khalid al-Mansour and George Soros:

Listen as Percy Sutton freely admits that Barack Obama’s campaign for president was started by Muslim Khalid al-Mansour and, though he doesn’t mention his name, he lists “one of the world’s richest men”, who we know to be George Soros, as the money behind it all:

Obama is well connected to the Democratic Socialists of America, according to their own leaders. DSA members are Marxists who often work inside the Democrat Party, and the organization is the principle America affiliate of Socialist International. Obama spoke at DSA events, was endorsed by the DSA, spoke at DSA leader Saul Mendelson’s funeral, and is close with many DSA leaders including Quentin Young, Timuel Black, Rabbi Arnold Wolf, Cornel West, Danny Davis, Tim Carpenter, and others. Young was Obama’s doctor for 20 years. DSA members also served in Obama’s campaigns, and many were appointed to posts within his administration.
The Communist Party USA called Obama “a friend” and has boasted that many of those around him have communist backgrounds. Obama was very close to Communist Party leaders Addie Wyatt, Vernon Jarrett, and Bea Lumpkin. The Communist Party actively campaigned for Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate race and for his 2008 presidential race and wrote a glowing endorsement of Obama in its People’s Weekly World newspaper.
A reporter visiting the U.S. Communist Party headquarters in New York City on the eve of the election found all the employees wearing Obama campaign buttons.
Sam Webb, the President of the U.S. Communist Party, announced in 2009 that “We now have not simply a friend, but a people’s advocate in the White House.”
“Progressives for Obama” was a group started by Obama’s campaign and was a group composed of self-described Maoists and socialists such as Barbara Ehrenreich, Bill Fletcher Jr., Tom Hayden, Mark Rudd, Todd Gitlin, and Carl Davidson, many of whom were former members of the radical and pro-Mao Students for a Democratic Society.
In 1999, Obama was involved with organizing a socialist think tank called Demos–and even sat on its board of trustees along with self described communists such as Van Jones.
Before he was president, Obama campaigned for self-described socialist Senator Bernie Sanders.
The Young Communist League USA (youth wing of the Communist Party) also endorsed Obama and worked hard for Obama’s 2008 campaign.
Obama’s pastor of 20 years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, is also a well known socialist who hates everything America stands for; that is why he screamed “God Damn America” in that famous tape Fox News uncovered during the 2008 campaign.
Charles Ogletree is a radical Marxist professor at Harvard and calls himself one of Obama’s mentors.
Once elected, Obama appointed a slew of hardcore communists and socialists–for example, Van Jones, a long-time communist activist, and Anita Dunn, who once said mass murderer and Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong was one of her “favorite political philosophers.” Other Marxist appointments include David Bonior, Patrick Gaspard, Mark Lloyd, and many others.
Obama’s presidential campaign was endorsed and promoted by communist and socialist parties and groups worldwide in 2008.
Many of Obama’s speeches contain classic socialist economic themes: demonizing the “rich,” claiming businessmen “didn’t build” their businesses, “wealth redistribution,” and his belief that government spending creates jobs.
Obama gave the highest civilian medal, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to union leader John Sweeney. Sweeney is a socialist and a DSA member.
Obama was an actual member of a Chicago-based socialist party called the New Party. He attended their meetings and received their endorsement. In 1996, its newsletter stated “New Party members won three other primaries in Chicago: Barack Obama….”
Obama was also a member of a socialist organization called “Progressive Chicago,” whose leadership was dominated by DSA and Communist Party activists.
A group called Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism split from the US Communist Party (the Communist Party was not radical enough!) and was deeply involved with Obama’s 2008 election. Many of Obama’s closest political allies were members of this self-described communist group, such as Mike Klonsky, Marilyn Katz, Bill Ayers, Earl Durham, Carl Davidson, Timuel Black, Lou Pardo, Van Jones, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, and others.
I will add to their list the fact that Obama’s best friend and his chief advisor is Valerie Jarrett [1] – source

The Anti-America roots of Obama’s closest advisor Valerie Jarrett

“A man named, Robert Taylor, was Jarrett’s maternal grandfather and her political background could be established with him, but in the 1940’s Communism was frowned upon and Mr. Taylor was involved in such Communist fronts as the American Peace Mobilization and the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee. Now another person whom, was also a member of these groups and was a “mentor” for Barack Obama was the Communist journalist, none other than Frank Marshall Davis. Now here we can show a direct link to Communist influences to both Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett both of who had very close associations with Communist Party members.

It was Jarrett’s mother Barbara Taylor Bowman who co-founded the Chicago-based graduate school in child development known as the Erikson Institute, which was named after Erik Erikson a notable psychoanalyst. In 1950 Erikson became a hero to the left by choosing to resign from his professorship at the University of California rather than sign an anti-communist loyalty oath as the school required. Indicative of the Erikson Institute’s radical political orientation is the fact that its board of trustees has included, in addition to Bowman, such figures as Tom Ayers (father of the former Weather Underground terrorist and lifelong Marxist Bill Ayers) and Bernardine Dohrn (longtime wife of Bill Ayers). Bill Ayers, for his part, called Bowman “a neighbor and friend” in his 1997 book A Kind and Just Parent, noting that his neighbors also included Louis Farrakhan and “writer Barack Obama.” [2] – source

If the evidence offered in this article is not compelling enough to convince you that we are governed by a Marxist/Socialist/Communist, then you, my friend, are brainwashed.

God please have mercy on America, if it is not too late.

As Biden’s Approval Rate Continues To Sink With Even Democrats, Barack Obama Makes Appearance At White House To Check On His Third Term

Their reunion, Democrats say, will be a full-circle moment of sorts, invoking nostalgia and a longing for the Obama era while marking one of the most significant legislative accomplishments in years. “From the historical perspective it does make a nice narrative arc from Obama and Biden passing the law to Obama returning to celebrate how it’s grown and been protected under now-President Biden,” said Democratic strategist Eddie Vale. “And it will be a good event and a good speech as one always gets from Obama.” But Vale cautioned that “no one should be anticipating Obama magically solving all of our problems.”

When former President Obama appears at the White House on Tuesday, Democrats say it will provide a much-needed boost to President Biden, who has been lagging in the polls.

At this point, no one either in the Republican or Democratic party has any illusions that Joe Biden is anything more than a cypher placed there by the New World Order to facilitate the complete destruction of America. Kind of like what 8 years of the Barack Obama presidency was designed to accomplish. Now Obama is at the White House today to check on the progress of how his third term is going, and to see what he can do to spruce it up a little as we edge closer to the 2022 Midterms.

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)

Whatever “star power” the Democrats may think that Obama still possesses pales in the light of $6.00 per gallon gas and rapidly rising inflation. When you add to that the mess in Afghanistan, the mess with COVID, and the soon-coming mess at the border when Title 42 is removed in May, you have yourself a mess that not even Obama can make look pretty. Of course, reminding people of just how bad things were under the Obama-Biden regime is not going to help their cause, either.

Taliban Soldiers Released By Obama And Biden In 2014 Are Key Members In New Government Slated To Celebrate Inauguration On September 11th

Democrats hope Obama will give Biden a jolt

FROM THE HILL: Obama remains extremely popular with the Democratic base, and his return to the White House comes as Biden has struggled to boost his poll numbers in the face of a flurry of challenges, most notably soaring inflation.

“I think this comes at the right moment,” said one Democratic strategist. “We need a jolt of energy right now, and no one brings that more than Obama.”

Biden and Obama will promote the Affordable Care Act, the former president’s signature piece of legislation during his time in office. Obama has remained out of the spotlight since leaving the White House in 2017, only reemerging in key moments during the Trump and Biden administrations. At those times, he has voiced his support for Biden on issues including the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, Biden’s Build Back Better framework and voting rights.

The former president has not visited the White House since Biden took office, including privately, two sources said.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday the two speak on the phone regularly and are “real friends, not just Washington friends.” The presidents will also have lunch together on Tuesday, she said, carrying on their tradition of weekly lunches during the Obama White House. Their reunion, Democrats say, will be a full-circle moment of sorts, invoking nostalgia and a longing for the Obama era while marking one of the most significant legislative accomplishments in years.

“From the historical perspective it does make a nice narrative arc from Obama and Biden passing the law to Obama returning to celebrate how it’s grown and been protected under now-President Biden,” said Democratic strategist Eddie Vale. “And it will be a good event and a good speech as one always gets from Obama.”

But Vale cautioned that “no one should be anticipating Obama magically solving all of our problems.”

“If Democrats want to have wins to run on in 2022 and 2024, they need to buckle down and get more bills on Biden’s desk,” he said.

Matt Bennett, a former Clinton White House staffer and co-founder of centrist think tank Third Way, called it smart for the Biden White House to get Obama involved given the newfound popularity of his signature health care law. Bennett noted the potential added benefit that “popular and talented former presidents can really help the incumbent craft and carry a message.” One White House official downplayed any political aspects of bringing Obama into the White House, saying the former president has championed the law informally bearing his name for years and it made sense for him to be there to promote new efforts to strengthen the legislation.

Biden and Obama both attended a funeral service for former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) in August and appeared together at the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York in the fall fall. The two also recorded a Zoom conversation last summer to promote sign-ups for the Affordable Care Act. Obama is expected to return to the White House again in the coming months at the unveiling of presidential portraits of himself and former first lady Michelle Obama.

Even though they live within miles of each other, Obama and Biden have rarely seen each other since Biden took office, sources say, including privately. While Biden campaigned on being the popular president’s vice president, he has kept a distance as president.

“I’m not sure it would be helpful to him to have Barack Obama looming in the shadows of his presidency,” said one source with knowledge of their relationship.

While the two presidents share a close bond over their mutual history in the Senate and later in the White House, a quiet tension has also existed. During the 2016 presidential race, Biden and his team were frustrated by Obama’s push for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be his successor. And later in the 2020 presidential race, Obama remained neutral, refusing to back anyone in the Democratic primary, including his former vice president. Biden has recounted that he told his former partner not to endorse him in the race, but sources close to the former president say that never happened.

Last year during a CNN town hall, Biden acknowledged that while he had been in the Oval Office many times as vice president, “I had never been up in the residence” while Obama was president. READ MORE

Barack Obama To Be Keynote Speaker For Gaia Celebration ‘Dear Earth’ From YouTube Proclaiming Our Planet As The ‘One Who Birthed Us All’

Former President Barack Obama is teaming up with celebrities for YouTube Originals’ Gaia worship Dear Earth special meant to ‘celebrate Mother Earth’.

Remember way back when Barack Obama was trying to convince people to vote for him, how he would always talk about his ‘white mother’ and his ‘Christian faith’? Apparently, these were two things that were highly meaningful for him, and we were constantly seeing photos of him going to church and talking about his ‘walk with the Lord’. In 2021, Barack Obama who never mentions his ‘Christian faith’ not one in a hundred times is now the keynote speaker for a Gaia celebration of the ‘one who gave birth to us’, the one and only…(drumroll please!!)…Mother Earth!

“But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” Galatians 4:26 (KJB)

The first chapter of Romans in the Book that Obama has never read tells us that people who worship the creation more than the Creator are ‘fools’ who are given over to a ‘reprobate mind’, while all the while professing themselves to be wise. 2 Peter 3 shows us that day when God will blow Earth to smithereens after setting it on fire, how’s that for global warming? But don’t be too hard on Kenyan Barack Obama as he engages in his real religion, Gaia, he’s only following the Roman Catholic pope who preaches and teaches the same damnable gospel.

The special will also feature left-wing pop star Billie Eilish, South Korean K-pop group Blackpink, Jaden Smith, the Muppets, and SpongeBob SquarePants, among others.

“You can imagine something different,” Obama is heard saying in a promotional clip for the 100-minute special, which will premier on Saturday.

“Celebrate Mother Earth — the only known entity to actually birth the human race — with this special YouTube Original that highlights how we should be solving climate problems,” YouTube Originals said. “Dear Earth shows us the latest in innovation, technology, and the sustainable revolution that’s about to take place.”

Four of the five Taliban members released from Guantanamo Bay by the Obama administration in 2014 in exchange for admitted US Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl are part of the Islamic fundamentalist group’s new hardline government in Afghanistan, according to local media reports.

Is anyone surprised by this? Back in 2014, then-president Barack Obama and his vice president Joe Biden agreed to set free 5 Taliban terrorists and pay billions of dollars in ransom to get back US Army deserter Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Wanna take a hard guess at who is now members in good standing of the brand-new government in Afghanistan? Yep, as it turns out, Walkaway Joe Biden truly is completing the work started by the Obama administration.

“Let his days be few; and let another take his office.” Psalm 109:8 (KJB)

So now you have a country, Afghanistan, that Biden agreed to desert, stocked with billions of dollars in American weapons, left there on purpose by Biden, and Taliban soldiers who were released by Obama and Biden now running that new government. Could it come more full-circle than that? Actually, yes, care to take a guess when this new Taliban terror government funded and created by Obama and Biden is going to be inaugurated? September 11th, how ya like them apples?

2018: THE 5 ISLAMIC TERRORISTS FREED BY OBAMA IN EXCHANGE FOR US ARMY DESERTER BOWE BERGDAHL HAVE REJOINED TALIBAN IN AFGHANISTAN

Four Taliban members swapped for Bowe Bergdahl by Obama and Biden are now in Afghan government

FROM THE NY POST: The four members of the so-called “Taliban Five” who have joined the new government are Acting Director of Intelligence Abdul Haq Wasiq, Acting Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Norullah Noori, Deputy Defense Minister Mohammad Fazl, and Acting Minister of Information and Culture Khairullah Khairkhah. The fifth member of the Taliban Five, Mohammad Nabi Omari, was appointed governor of eastern Khost province last month.

Afghan outlet TOLOnews published a list Tuesday of members of the new “caretaker” government, which features several familiar faces who helped run the war-torn country between 1996 and 2001 — when the Taliban were forced from power by US-led NATO forces following the 9/11 attacks. Wasiq, Fazl and Khairkhah all held positions in the former Taliban government — Wasiq as a deputy intelligence chief, Fazl as army chief of staff and Khairkhah as interior minister.

According to assessments written in 2008 by leadership at Guantanamo Bay and later made public by WikiLeaks, Wasiq “utilized his office to support [al Qaeda] and to assist Taliban personnel elude capture” and “was central to the Taliban’s efforts to form alliances with other Islamic fundamentalist groups to fight alongside the Taliban against U.S. and Coalition forces” in the early days of the Afghanistan war. The same assessments said Fazl was alleged to have had “operational associations with significant al Qaeda and other extremist personnel.”

Fazl and Noori, who was governor of two northern Afghan provinces during the earlier Taliban regime, are also accused of ordering the massacres of ethnic Hazara, Tajik and Uzbek communities in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998.

Khairkhah, who helped found the Taliban in 1994, allegedly took part in “meetings with Iranian officials seeking to support hostilities against U.S. and Coalition Forces” following the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, according to the 2008 assessments. He also was the governor of western Herat province between 1999 and 2001 and was known as “one of the major opium drug lords in western Afghanistan,” US military leadership found.

Despite the assessments recommending “continued detention” for the five, President Barack Obama signed off on an agreement that sprang the men from Gitmo in exchange for the release of Bergdahl, who had been taken captive by the Taliban after walking away from an observation post in Paktika province in June 2009.

“The United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uniform behind,” Obama said at a Rose Garden ceremony announcing Bergdahl’s release on May 31, 2014.

As Bergdhal returned to the United States, the Taliban Five were flown to Qatar, where much of the Taliban’s political leadership resided at the time. Among those aghast at the price paid for Bergdahl’s return was Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the Taliban Five were “the hardest of the hard-core” and “the highest high-risk people.” In 2015, Bergdahl was charged by the military with desertion with intent to shirk important or hazardous duty and one count of misbehavior before the enemy by endangering the safety of his fellow soldiers. In 2017, he pleaded guilty to both charges and was sentenced to a dishonorable discharge, a reduction in rank and a fine. Bergdahl has since appealed to a federal court in a bid to get his conviction overturned. READ MORE
