Obama's Hawaii and Chicago
Communist Networks Were Linked |
It is now well established that Barack Obama was
linked to the Hawaiian Communist Party network through his
boyhood/teenage mentor
Frank Marshall Davis.
It is also well known that after moving
to Chicago, Obama linked up with the local communist networks.
Manning Marable, a leader of the Communist Party offshoot Committees of
Correspondence for Democracy & Socialism
claims that Obama "understands what socialism is. A lot of
the people working with him are, indeed, socialists with backgrounds in
the Communist Party or as independent Marxists. There are a lot of
people like that in Chicago who have worked with him for years..."
This leads to two key questions.
a. Were the Hawaii
and Chicago networks connected?
b. Did Obama's connection
to Frank Marshall Davis in any way influence his progress up the Chicago
political ladder?
If the answer is yes to both, there are
significant implications.
It means that that the Communist Party
USA was watching Obama from an early age and was willing to help his
political career.

Obama and Chicago Democratic Socialists of
America |
Barack Obama's association with the Marxists of
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)is deep and
enduring.
It probably started in the early 1980s (when DSA
was founded)and it
certainly continues today.
Obama makes an apparent reference
to DSA in his 1995 autobiography "Dreams From My Father".
Discussing his time at New York's Columbia University, in the early 80s,
Obama reveals that he "went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union
and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn.”
For many years,
from the early '80s until 2004, Cooper Union was the usual venue of the
annual
Socialist Scholars Conference (SSC) -- almost certainly what Obama
was referring to.
Since DSA's formation in 1982 its City
University branch has sponsored and organized the Socialist Scholars
Conference. SSC (now called Left Forum)regularly features DSA speakers
such as Frances Fox Piven, Leo Panitch, Bogdan Denitch, Stanley
Aronowitz, Stephen Eric Bronner, Cornel West, Bill Fletcher Jr., Noam
Chomsky and Barbara Ehrenreich as well as guests from the Communist
Party, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy & Socialism and other
militant groups.
Fast forward to early 1996

Michelle And Barack's Black Panther Mentor |
Obama has waded into a controversy over
the arrest,
in his own house of black Harvard academic Henry Louis Gates.
Why
would Obama risk a public backlash defending this man and criticizing
the police?
Well it turns out that Obama regards Gates as a
friend and they have several acquaintances in common on the black left.
Gates co-wrote two books with Obama's "comrade", Democratic
Socialists of America (DSA) member Cornel West. Gates is also close to
another DSA supporter who Obama once shared a
DSA organized forum with-academic William Julius Wilson.
But
more interestingly Gates' lawyer Charles Ogletree is a long time friend
and mentor to both Michelle and Barack Obama.
It also turns out
that Ogletree was a hard core radical with roots in the Maoist
influenced Black Panthers movement. It also seems that Ogletree is still
a militant leftist and is still called on by the Obamas for advice.
