WHO IS BARACK OBAMA? MARXIST SOCIALIST

Just weeks until the presidential election and Barack Obama is still a largely unknown mystery figure because the national media has refused to do the intensive investigation into his background that it does for, say, a white Republican woman from Alaska.

All we know is the carefully crafted biographical narrative put together by the Chicago Democratic machine that is running Obama's campaign, as approved by Obama himself. Like the two memoirs about his life, the Obama narrative is part fiction and omits a great deal of disturbing information about what Obama believes, what he has done and what he intends to do.

Because of the work of bloggers and independent researchers are doing, some information is belatedly coming to light. What has been found so far is frightening.

Obama's fixation on building black power to fight white America, his associations with terrorists and others who hate America, his years of work to advance Marxist socialist goals, his long involvement with organizations such as ACORN deeply involved in vote fraud and thuggish intimidation to corrupt the banking system, his go-along relationship with the patronage and payoff Chicago Democratic machine, his close friendship with a slumlord convicted of political fraud, his callous disregard for human life and his casual disregard fo truth are all being revealed despite fierce threats from the the Obama campaign to prevent such disclosures. Are these disclosures coming too late? Will the national media continue to shut their eyes?

Don't the American people deserve to know the truth about Barack Obama?

Melanie Phillips views the situation with amazement, concern and horror from London:

Barack Obama appears to sit on a nexus between Marxist revolutionary activists, unrepentant former terrorists, Black Power racists, Chicago mobsters – oh, and a Saudi who is trying to buy up America. If you were to turn up at US immigration control with a background of such associates, it’s a fair bet they wouldn’t let you off the air-bridge. Yet this man may well become President of the US! If any other candidate had had merely a fleeting relationship with William Ayers, his candidacy would have been terminated before it was even articulated -- let alone what we now know about Obama’s key role in Ayers’s CAC and its funding of radical groups; let alone the fact that Obama had been mentored during his formative years by a Communist Party plant; let alone his work for organisations modelled on the seditious philosophy of Saul Alinsky; let alone his two-decade membership of a Black Power church; let alone his relationship with fraudster Tony Rezko.

And yet despite all of this, virtually no-one in the mainstream media is asking any questions. Has there ever been a more staggering, surreal and scary race to the White House?

William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, the Weathermen terrorist bombers of the 1970s, hosted Obama's campaign kickoff for the Illinois Senate in 1995 and have been closely associated with Obama ever since in radical, socialist activities in the Chicago area. Ayers makes no bones about his desire to change America into a socialist state. He describes himself as a "small "c" communist." Ayers and Dohrn have been busy rounding up Communists, Marxist socialists, radicals, terrorists and so-called progressives to elect Obama president.

Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are involved in an organisation uniting three Marxist parties, a host of '60s radicals and terrorists and a new generation of militant activists.

That organisation has spawned a spin-off organisation specifically designed to put Barack Obama in the White House and to bring about massive social change across the US.

Ayers and Dohrn helped launch Barack Obama's political career. Do they guide it still?
