Barack Obama: Disciple of Saul Alinsky

Barack Obama answered a help-wanted ad for a position as a community organizer (and recruiter in black neighborhoods) for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) on the South Side of Chicago. Obama was 23 years old, unmarried and according to his memoir, searching for a genuine African-American community. Barack Obama, as he's recently been quoted as saying, his work as an organizer gave him "the best education of his life". Admittedly both the CCRC and the DCP were built on the "Saul Alinsky model of community agitation", wherein paid organizers learned how to "rub raw the sores of discontent," in Alinsky's words. The idea is to piss people off, blame the wealthy, convince them you're the solution, and send them off into the community demanding "change". Sounds quite familiar eh? Alinsky's son himself has called Barack Obama his fathers greatest student.

The Chicago Community Organizer
Saul Alinsky was a Community Organizer based out of Chicago, advocate of Socialism & Communism, and author of "Rules for Radicals" (championed as the Communist Manifesto for the modern times). The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is "first to bring folks to the realization that they are miserable, their misery is a result of greedy corporations, help bond them together and demand what they deserve from said greedy corporations". Barack Obama sounds terrifyingly similar to Alinsky when he speaks of taking profits from "greedy companies" and distributing that capital to those he see's fit. Alinsky's approach to social justice relies solely on creating massive conflict between those who "have" and those who "have-not". Alinsky proclaimed that "we have a war on our hands... a war between those with the money and those with the people... if we can convince the people they are miserable, then we can gather the people". Again, Obama is the champion of creating tension through class warfare in demonizing the rich, and striving to tax them into oblivion (Note: class warfare was a major motivating factor for Karl Marx to author the Communist Manifesto). Not only is Saul Alinsky credited for inspiring politicians like Barack Obama, he is also noted as a great scholar for other "progressive" politicians like Bill & Hillary Clinton (remember back when Bill ran for President and this was brought to light? Yeah it's the same Alinsky). Alinsky is one of the fathers of the Liberal Progressive movement plaguing our country these days. We have called them Marxists, but perhaps they should be called Alinkyists, for he and his writings shaped the modern day "Progressive Democrat Party".

The Ideology of Hope and Change
"The use of The Ideology of Change and Hope" Alinsky proclaims "is a power technique (and) is key to mobilizing 'the dispossessed' to ban together and create pressure on the system". The use of "Hope" and "change" is something Alinksy taught as an Ideological power technique... interesting that Obama's entire campaign is based on themes of "hope and change we can believe in". Obama has been quoted in saying, "sometimes the tendency in community organizing of the sort done by Alinsky, is to use powerful words to get people moving". Alinksy taught, "Lie, dissemble, ridicule and deride your opponents... do what you need to do to get ahead. Listen to and learn their needs and take advantage - do not care. Manipulate the morals. Lying is never wrong as long as it leads you to a position of power. Say what you need to say to get ahead. The ends justify the means." Words that seem to ring true with Barrack Obama as he uses people such as Tony Rezko, Father Flager, Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, Ludacris, and Bernadine Dohrn for as long as he needs them and then dumps the friendship when it's no longer politically viable to retain them... all the while denying he had any idea of the radical positions they themselves hold dear. Mike Kruglik, the man responsible for hiring and teaching Barack Obama, has called Obama "the Master of Alinsky Agitation". Kruglik states Obama can be aggressive and confrontational when needed... he can make them hate, and through dangling the "carrot of Hope", he can redirect the crowd’s hatred to those he deems responsible. In Chicago, through organizations like ACORN & DCP, it was banks, non-union work places, and real-estate owners. Today, through the Democrat party, it is the current administration, healthcare providers, corporations, business owners, wealthy Americans, Capitalism, Liberty and soon our way of life. Where will it end people?
