Kennedy, 1968 This book marks my first foray into the field of presidential candidate biography since the publication of my George Bush: The Unauthorized Biography (1992). I have been impelled to return to the business of presidential candidate biography by a profound sense of alarm and national emergency, because of the threat to the American people and to the future survival of the world posed by the Trilateral Commission puppet and Manchurian candidate, Barack Hussein Obama. During the early months of 2008, I issued a series of articles which analyzed the dynamics of Obama’s postmodern coup d’état from the standpoint of comparing the Illinois Messiah’s lemming legions and Kool-Aid cult fanatic following with the incipient and inchoate fascist movement which coalesced around the young Benito Mussolini between 1919 and 1922, in a period of crisis similar to the one we are traversing today. These articles were supplemented by a theoretical introduction restating the basic characteristics of a fascist mass movement, and also by an extended comparison between Obama’s campaign platform and the record in office of Jimmy Carter, who is the most recent example of a puppet president controlled by the Trilateral-Rockefeller banking elite. I also benefited from valuable contributions from my friends Bruce Marshall and Jonathan Mowat. The resulting book was entitled Obama the Postmodern Coup: the Making of a Manchurian Candidate, and was offered to the public for the first time on Monday, April 7, 2008, thanks to the superlative efforts of the eminent publisher John Leonard of Progressive Press in California. Our original intention had been to include a biography of the mystery candidate Barack Hussein Obama, but in the end we decided that it was better to issue a first volume well in advance of the April 22 Pennsylvania primary. Now, a few months later, we are delivering a second installment in the continuing process of exposing and unmasking the enigmatic Messiah Obama. We ask for the reader’s indulgence for the fact that this book had to be assembled in haste, but we are confident that it contains the concepts necessary to understanding the threat posed by Obama, from the standpoint of elementary class consciousness. THE ONLY STUDY BASED ON AN EXPLICIT CLASS ANALYSIS OF ELITISTS VS. WORKING PEOPLE The 2008 campaign has been remarkable for having had the great merit of focusing attention on the issue of class, elitism, and oligarchy, with Obama furnishing the obvious villain on the elitist side. This book is a product of the anti-oligarchical or American school of historical writing. The analysis is conducted from the standpoint of the New Deal tradition. Class consciousness as used here means first of all the method exemplified by Plato in his Republic, above all awareness of the abuses of the one (tyranny), the few (oligarchy), and the many (mob rule or ochlocracy). Our world is generally a world of oligarchy, which is now threatening to pass through an interlude of mob rule and then into tyranny. This book is also based on the class analysis of Machiavelli’s Discourses, which is infinitely superior to that of Marx. In Machiavelli’s terms, the Obama campaign is a project of the nobility (gentiluomini) and the urban bankers (ottimati or patrizi, in Britain as well as the US) to mobilize the city mob, especially excitable youth (plebe) against the middle class (popolo), under extreme crisis conditions. This book is also founded on the experience of the Introduction: Obama from the Ford Foundation to the Trilateral Commission 5 Franklin D. Roosevelt New Deal as the most recent successful historical model in how to organize the American people to deal with a world economic depression. A critical unauthorized biography of Senator Barack Hussein Obama is all the more urgent today because nothing competent in this line has been forthcoming so far. Back in 1991, when I began writing the unauthorized biography of George Bush the elder, I found that the biographical literature about the candidate was rather limited. There was a campaign biography from 1980, a campaign biography from 1988, and some biographical essays for 1992. These had all been generated from Bush family documents and printouts. There were also a limited number of critical studies, which were either very brief, incomplete, or useless for other reasons. Another biography of Bush the Elder which appeared after the election turned out to be just another cover-up. But all in all, the biographical literature was relatively limited, and there were no real autobiographies, memoirs or books written by the candidate. With Obama, the picture is radically different. Obama is a word-monger. The candidate himself claims to be the author of not one but two books, although it is clear that he has had much help from the ghost-writing staff of the Trilateral-Bilderberg combine. The first is a long autobiographical memoir entitled Dreams from My Father, which Obama sent into the world back in 1995. This book documents Obama’s obsession with the polygamous Kenyan father who showed no interest in him, with race and racism, and above all with himself. It is a document which already suggests that the author is not just a racist, but also a deeply troubled existentialist megalomaniac, since it is surely a rare man who writes his own autobiography before he has reached the age of 35, when he still has accomplished absolutely nothing. This is the book which we define as Obama’s postmodern Mein Kampf. Obama is also the author of a more conventional catalog of campaign- oriented political positions The Audacity of Hope, with its title drawn from one of the ranting sermons of Obama’s racist guru and hatemeister, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. 1995: DREAMS FROM MY FATHER – OBAMA’S POSTMODERN MEIN KAMPF The first time I heard Obama speak, the first words that passed through my mind were, “slippery as an eel.” This is the main problem with the things that Obama himself has written, as well as with his campaign in general. Both books written by Obama make it their primary business to deceive the reader, for obvious purposes of political gain. Dreams is designed to mislead about the candidate himself, while The Audacity of Hope seeks to muddy the waters concerning his political ideas and policies. Far too often the audacity of hope that we are promised turns out to be nothing more than the mendacity of dope, on the part of a candidate whose mental impairment owing to narcotics abuse during his college years is certainly comparable to that of the notorious George W. Bush — as we can see in Obama’s striking inability to speak coherently in the absence of the glass plates of a Teleprompter sitting in front of his nose. The Audacity of Hope has been described by the reactionary Ann Coulter as Obama’s dime-store Mein Kampf. This is accurate in at least one way, since both books deal with the quest for racial identity and the need to overcome the various barriers to the assertion of that identity. Well before Miss Coulter had come on the scene, I had published an article on the Internet referring to Obama’s postmodern Mein Kampf, which represents a more exact description of Obama’s actual ideology and world outlook, which is that of an existentialist reader of the Third World pro-terrorist ideologue, Frantz Fanon. Obama’s book is also an attempt to capitalize on the popularity of Alex Haley’s Roots. Obama’s memoir may thus be described as Roots lite, but with the identity trip being carried out by a Fanon-style existentialist. 6 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography THE MENDACITY OF DOPE But the books by Obama himself are only the beginning of the cloud of obfuscation and deception which envelops the Perfect Master. There are easily two dozen biographical studies of the Illinois Senator, and they are almost without exception characterized by fawning adulation, adolescent hero worship, and messianic hagiography. They add up to so many versions of the Life and Miracles of St. Barack the Good. I have found it easy to dispense with the vast majority of these meretricious and venal little books. One or two exceptions do stand out: there is, for example, Shelby Steele, a kind of black neocon, who makes many intelligent observations about Obama’s character. Then there are the hard-line neocon critics of Obama. Some of them have managed to perform an important public service by forcing the odious figures of the gangster Tony Rezko, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the terrorist William Ayers, and the terrorist Bernardine Dohrn — all of whom belong to Obama’s immediate social circle — into the public eye in the face of hysterical opposition by NBC, MSNBC, The New York Times, the Washington Post, and the other assorted media whores for Obama. But, for any task of analysis more complicated than the straight exposing and outing of Obama’s rogues’ gallery of personal friends and associates, the neocon methods break down and often lapse into absurdity. The biggest absurdities are that Obama is really a Moslem, or else that Obama is really a Marxist AND Communist. We state emphatically here at the outset: Obama is a creature and puppet of finance capital and of the Wall Street bankers and investment bankers, as represented by the Trilateral Commission, Bilderberger Group, Council on Foreign Relations, Skull and Bones Society, Ford Foundation, and Chicago School of Friedmanite economics. The family business which Obama inherited from his mother (a Ford Foundation anthropologist and counterinsurgency operative who also worked for the World Bank and the US Agency for International Development) was to work for foundations. And this is what Obama has done in his life, working at various times for or with the Gamaliel Foundation, the Woods Fund, the Joyce Foundation, the Annenberg Foundation, and other foundations and entities which notoriously look to the Ford Foundation for guidance and leadership. Obama is best described as a foundation-bred counterinsurgent, that is to say an operative in the service of the US financier ruling class whose task it is to wreck and abort any positive outcomes that might be forthcoming from the political ferment which is shaking the globe, and above all from the deep political upsurge which is clearly at hand in this country. Obama claims to be a uniter, but the simplest empirical survey will show that he is the most explosive divider seen in this country in decades, since he has succeeded in splitting both the Democratic Party and the US population in general according to the classic fault lines of white against black, black against Hispanic, black against Asian, black against Jewish, men against women, old against young, rich against poor. Having seen Obama accomplish all of this in less than a year and a half on the campaign trail, we can confidently predict that an Obama presidency would in all probability put the United States well on its way to civil war. Giving Obama and his financier controllers the White House would represent an act of national suicide for this country, with the most catastrophic implications for the world as a whole. This analysis is corroborated by the fact that Obama, alone among all the protagonists of the 2008 presidential contest, possesses either a postmodern fascist mass movement, or a very plausible facsimile thereof. These are the lemming legions who are not supporting a program of measures that the government might take, but who are hysterically loyal to and obsessed with Obama as a fantasy figure and charismatic savior – in other words, as an emerging fascist leader. As those who lived through Italy in 1922 and Germany in 1933 remind us in the writings they have left behind, there is simply no comparison between a normal, corrupt, bourgeois parliamentary regime and a fascist seizure of power. These Introduction: Obama from the Ford Foundation to the Trilateral Commission 7 are qualitatively distinct, and set Obama apart from all of his competitors in a way that we can only ignore at our own very great peril. The only way to conduct a satisfactory analysis of the Obama agitation is to use a class standpoint, rather than a racial criterion or an outlook based on gender. Obama is an operative for the finance oligarchs. The Democratic Party bureaucracy is supporting Obama and opposing Senator Clinton because this is the decree of Wall Street, the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberger group, the Ford Foundation, Skull and Bones, the Chicago School, the Council on Foreign Relations, and other ruling class institutions. The Democratic Party bosses like Howard Dean and Donna Brazile are not supporting Obama because they care about what happens to black voters. The Democratic Party has proved repeatedly that it cares nothing whatever about the fate of black voters. At the same time, it is very naïve to assume that the explanation for the slander campaign of the controlled corporate media against Hillary Clinton is that the media whores for Obama are motivated by misogyny and hatred of women. That may be a factor in individual cases, but the main reason the controlled media are vilifying Senator Clinton is that they have been ordered by their Wall Street paymasters to do so. The main issues in this contest are class issues, and not racial or gender issues. Blue-collar working-class voters are not generally opposed to Obama because of race, but rather because they can sense in his elitism and condescension that he is a candidate loyal solely to the dictates of the financiers. The phalanx of right-wing radio commentators who call themselves conservatives is attempting to portray Obama as an ultraliberal, “the most liberal senator in the Democratic Party,” according to a study produced by National Journal. This is a very weak, tired, unconvincing way to deal with Obama, and it is ultimately a loser. This is not very scary, and to do justice to the horrifying reality of the Obama threat, it ought to be very scary indeed. To say that Obama is a liberal, as Rush Limbaugh incessantly does, is to say that he is just more of the same, from the same tired old playbook of Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. If Obama is just the latest liberal and there is nothing new under the sun, then ho-hum. This approach fatally underestimates how radically different and how extremely dangerous Obama really is. Sean Hannity does a little better with his mantra of “Stop the radical.” But it soon turns out that this means radical liberal, which is also not going to launch a thousand ships against Obama. The first instinct of most right-wingers is to look at Obama’s middle name of Hussein, and perhaps at his Moslem father and step-father and at his time in school in Indonesia, and announce that Obama is a Moslem. But this will hardly do. Obama’s father and step- father were united not by the Koran, but rather by their shared devotion to Johnny Walker, which increased as they got older. And if Obama himself were a secularized Moslem, so what? Voters have a right to know Obama’s religious history in full detail, but there is no religious test for office. But Obama is something very sinister indeed. Obama himself is either an atheist, or much more likely a Satanist of the apostate Jeremiah Wright-James Cone-black liberation theology school, a Christian heresy which places racist hatred instead of charity at the center of its edifice of faith. Wright is ultimately the high priest of a death cult. Obama is, more precisely, an existentialist fascist made of equal parts 1969 Weatherman race war theory and Frantz Fanon’s cult of violent Third World rebellion. This is what low-income blue collar voters in West Virginia have understood far better than all the effete snobs who profess postmodernism at Harvard. The other approach is to paint Obama as a Marxist and communist, in the Cold War McCarthyite tradition. Here is an article by Dana Milbank, a decadent member of Skull and Bones who frequents the Keith Olberman Grand Guignol propaganda show on MSNBC-Obamavision, also known as the Brzezinski network. Milbank is a cynical cataloguer of the politically grotesque. The following is 8 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography Milbank’s satire of a group of aging and rabid neocons who gathered recently in a Washington café to review the evidence that Obama was a communist, a Marxist, and a subversive. This group, assembled by America’s Survival Inc., met in the basement of Ebenezer Coffee House at Second and F streets NE. Milbank writes: Here are some things we can look forward to learning about Barack Obama: that he was mentored in high school by a member of the Soviet-controlled Communist Party; that he launched his Illinois state Senate campaign in the home of a terrorist and a killer; that while serving as a state senator, he was a member of a socialist front group; that his affiliations are so dodgy that he would have trouble getting a government security clearance; that there is reason to doubt his “loyalty to the United States.” “We believe that any public figure with links to foreign and hostile interests should be asked to explain those associations,” the organizer, Cliff Kincaid, told about two dozen conservatives and a few reporters. “In the case of Obama, a relatively new figure on the national scene, we submit the facts suggest that he would have serious difficulty getting a security clearance in the United States government. An FBI background check was once used to examine one’s character, loyalty to the United States, and associations.” “He’s a member of an organization [that is] openly a front for two socialist groups,” reported another participant, Trevor Loudon. “Obama was raised and educated in a very Marxist-rich environment, which often would limit his worldview,” reported a third, Max Friedman. But the star of the show was the ancient Herbert Romerstein, who once plied his trade for the Un-American Activities committee. “We decided to start going back and seeing what things influenced him even before he was born,” Romerstein announced without a trace of irony, before tying Obama to the Communist Party of the 1930s in Hawaii and Soviet spies on the island. “This is the atmosphere that young Barack Obama grew up in.” The smoking gun? Obama’s “mentor” during his teens, according to Kincaid, was “a key member of a Soviet- controlled network that was sponsored by Moscow and active in Hawaii.” “The Weather Underground terrorists,” Romerstein added, “were instrumental in getting him into office in the first place.” “It’s clear that the communists and the socialists are backing him,” Kincaid confirmed. It was beginning to sound like a UFO convention. But the panelists took it seriously, firing questions back at the audience. “Was Barack Obama working for Bill Ayers?” Kincaid wondered aloud. Romerstein demanded: “How come for 20 years he sat in the pews and listened to a raving anti-American racist? How did he bring his two young children to this church to hear Wright rave on?” The evidence was compelling enough for participant Friedman. For him, the Rosetta Stone was Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, who Friedman alleged was the protégé of a man with “a Communist Party-front record” in Chicago. “The more I look at this, I’m seeing there are a lot of red-diaper babies around here,” he deduced. “By putting these pieces of the puzzle together, I’m beginning to see something much bigger.” (Dana Milbank, “Obama as You’ve Never Known Him!” Washington Post, May 23, 2008.) This treatment shows how easy it is for a lightweight elitist scribbler like Milbank to satirize these neocon critics of Milbank’s Perfect Master. Even a superficial flack like Milbank has no trouble making these poor neocons look like relics from the hated and notorious House Un- American Activities Committee who are daring to pollute the sublime dream of today’s golden youth. Obama has only the vaguest echoes of his mother’s vague devotion to old Karl Marx (the British agent whose case officer was David Urquhart of the British Foreign Office). Obama is most emphatically a product of the foundations and their cult of social manipulation and political subversion, but always in the service of a social order centered on Wall Street. Obama is himself an Introduction: Obama from the Ford Foundation to the Trilateral Commission 9 operative of finance capital at the highest level. If his hardware comes from the Ford Foundation where his mother was employed, Obama’s software comes from the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberger group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the RAND Corporation, Skull and Bones, the Chicago school of economics – in other words, the highest levels of the Anglo-American financier oligarchy. If Mussolini started off as an agent of the British and French embassies and of certain Venetian financiers, and Hitler began his career as an agent for German military intelligence, Obama’s pedigree is the complex of institutions we have just stated. Obama is connected to Wall Street by a million adamantine threads. Obama’s main controller, guru, adviser, and handler is none other than Zbigniew Brzezinski, the man who ran the catastrophic Trilateral administration of Jimmy Carter thirty years ago. Such is the reality of Obama as he emerges from these pages. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND IS INDISPENSABLE In order to understand Obama and the congeries of foundation-funded racist and terrorist provocateurs and international gangsters who represent his immediate social circle, some significant historical background is indispensable. Obama’s mother worked for the Ford Foundation, and Obama has worked for foundations like the Gamaliel, the Joyce, the Woods, and the Annenberg Chicago Challenge all his life. But what do foundations do? Emphatically, they do not practice good works of charity; they deal in cynical social and political manipulation in the service of the ruling class. So it is necessary to explain the strategic doctrine which has governed the activities of the US foundation community since the 1960s, especially in the framework of Reagan’s Executive Order 12333, which privatized the US intelligence community into front companies, law firms, and especially foundations. The public now knows that Obama attended Jeremiah Wright’s church, where the incendiary doctrine of black liberation theology, a school atypical of the black church, is proclaimed. But where do Wright and his sidekicks Otis Moss III and Dwight Hopkins come from? Are they an authentic and spontaneous expression of the black church, or are they controlled assets deployed in a cynical divide-and-conquer strategy by foundations and divinity schools that represent the most parasitical interests in Wall Street? The historical approach is the only way to clarify these issues. Obama claims to be an apostle of bipartisan cooperation and the transcendence of legislative wrangling and haggling. His background in this regard is real, but it is not what the public thinks. Obama is a product of the infamous Illinois bipartisan Combine, a joint venture by the Illinois Republican and Democratic Parties to savagely loot the people of that state. Obama’s godfathers include not just corrupt machine pols like Mayor Daley and Governor Blagojevich, but also the Levantine gangsters and underworld figures Rezko, Auchi, and Alsammarae, all part of what the FBI has been probing under the heading of Operation Board Games. Obama’s bosom buddy Rezko is now a convicted felon, having been found guilty on June 5, 2008 on 16 of 24 counts in Chicago federal court, including for scheming to get kickbacks out of money-management firms wanting state business, and a contractor who wanted to build a hospital in northern Illinois. Auchi and Alsammarae are also convicted felons. Obama’s long history in graft and corruption make him the most corrupt and dirtiest presidential candidate in many decades. Americans have now been told that the 1960s Weatherman terrorist bombers and provocateurs (and foundation operatives) Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn have sponsored Obama’s career as a foundation asset and later as a holder of elective office. But what were the Weathermen? And, were Ayers and Dohrn honest revolutionaries who chose terrorism, or were they intelligence community operatives sent in to destroy the student movement and peace movement by taking over Students for 10 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography a Democratic Society (SDS) in the wake of the New York City teachers’ strike, and then scuttling SDS from within, in a matter of months? Only historical background can clarify the question of how Obama’s penchant for associating with known criminals makes him the most radical subversive ever to get this close to the presidency. The public is being urged to regard Obama as a politician of phenomenal organizational ability because of his ability to game the absurd rules of the Democratic Party. But what if Obama had been a protected asset of Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Trilateral Commission since about 1981- 1983, and a man whose entire career has been fostered and promoted by the Trilateral-Bilderberger Wall Street group? What if Obama’s campaign ran on Rockefeller-Soros Trilateral cash, with the backing of the matchless Trilateral network of media whores and agents of influence? Here again, adequate historical background is necessary. The last time that the Trilateral Commission fielded a relatively unknown puppet with the goal of seizing power through an insurgency based on surprise, the result was the catastrophic presidency of Jimmy Carter, who turned foreign affairs over to Brzezinski, while placing economic policy in the hands of Trilateral agent Paul Adolph Volcker, who destroyed what was left of the US industrial economy. Today Obama is attempting to profile himself as something of an economic populist. Only an appeal to history can show how today’s Trilateral puppet Obama will go beyond yesterday’s Trilateral puppet Carter, this time imposing austerity in the name of third world solidarity, sacrifice in the name of global warming, and perhaps even reparations for racism. As with Carter, the beneficiaries will be the Rockefeller-Soros Wall Street interests. Obama promises hope and change, but his campaign bears uncanny similarities to the early days of Italian fascism in 1919-1922. Only historical background can show the many parallels between Obama and the young Mussolini. This book is not an invitation to contemplation. It is a call to mobilize. At this writing, we are at the half-way point in a postmodern fascist coup in the United States. There is still time to prevent this coup from succeeding. In January 1933, just before Hitler seized power, people in Germany were as careworn and overwhelmed and overstressed as many Americans feel today. A combination of bankers and corporate chiefs had decided they needed more than a dictator; they needed a dictator with his own private army of street fighters, the storm troopers. The Social Democrats (the SPD) were a huge mass party backed up by trade unions, sports clubs, women’s groups, and their own self-defense corps, but they dithered and dawdled and talked about a general strike, and never did anything. The communists (the KPD) were also a large mass party, with a big organization of unemployed workers, and their own self-defense corps of armed veterans. But the communists were convinced that they had been living under fascism for a long time, and that the Social Democrats were really social fascists and therefore even worse than Hitler. So nobody called a general strike to stop Hitler when this would have been possible. Many of the SPD and KPD leaders who refused to mobilize against the National Socialist seizure of power soon had to flee the country when their parties were outlawed and their members expelled from the parliament by the Nazis. Many of those who stayed behind were either assassinated in the streets, or died in concentration camps. Perhaps we can learn something from this chilling example of the importance of mobilizing while mobilization is still possible. If this book attracts some readers, the Obama campaign will inevitably attempt to vilify me as a racist. I therefore state formally that I am not a racist, but just the opposite. I am convinced that race is a mystification with no scientific basis whatsoever. Politics and government based on race are
