All in the (Political) Family

American Spectator:

A new book by Richard Miniter contends that it was Valerie Jarrett, Obama's top adviser, who repeatedly urged President Obama not to take out Osama bin Laden, prompting Obama to cancel the mission three times.

Kudos to Miniter for this revelation. A year ago, I had written a feature article for American Spectator on Valerie Jarrett. One piece of information I had, but couldn't confirm, was precisely this. Good work by Richard Miniter.

Even then, there's much more to the rich background on Jarrett and Obama -- not to mention the third leg of the current troika that gave us "hope and change," David Axelrod.

As readers of this site are aware, I've just published a book on Barack Obama's mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. No president in the long history of this republic has had a mentor like Obama's. Frank Marshall Davis was a literal -- and I mean literal -- card-carrying member of Communist Party USA. I publish Davis's Communist Party number (47544) on the cover of the book, and fill an appendix with declassified FBI documents and Soviet archival material. Those documents reveal a Davis so suspicious that he was placed on the federal government's Security Index, which meant he could be immediately arrested if war broke out between the United States and USSR. With that sort of pro-Soviet influence throughout his adolescence (1970-79), Barack Obama would have trouble getting a security clearance for an entry-level government job, let alone sit in the Oval Office.

Nonetheless, Obama sits in that Oval Office today thanks to four factors: the American voter, a scandalously biased media, a skillful election strategy charted by David Axelrod, and the careful nurturing of Valerie Jarrett.

And most remarkable, Axelrod's and Jarrett's backgrounds and mentors connect to Obama's background and mentor in a most intriguing way. It's a stunning story, hard to believe. Follow closely:

Frank Marshall Davis, like Obama, found himself, his career, and his political calling in Chicago. It was there in the 1940s that he first began working for communist front-groups, joined the Communist Party, and wrote for and became the founding editor-in-chief of the Chicago Star, the city's Communist Party newspaper -- where Davis kicked off the newspaper with a column (July 6, 1946) pledging to advance "fundamental change." In these capacities, Davis, Obama's mentor, would work with the political ancestors of David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett.

I lay that out at length in the book, with all the documentation. Here, I will try to be brief and to the point.

In 1940, Frank Marshall Davis got involved in one of the worst communist fronts: the American Peace Mobilization. Congress called the group "one of the most notorious and blatantly communist fronts ever organized in this country" and "one of the most seditious organizations which ever operated in the United States." The group's objective (in 1940) was to stop the United States from entering the war against Hitler. Why? Because Hitler had signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin, and American communists, being loyal Soviet patriots who literally swore allegiance to the USSR, saluted Stalin.

One of the first examples I found of Frank Marshall Davis getting noticed by Congress was a 1944 Congressional report listing his involvement in the American Peace Mobilization. That same report also cited the involvement of a fellow Chicagoan named Robert Taylor. Taylor was the grandfather of Valerie Jarrett.

Taylor also served with Davis on another communist front, the Chicago Civil Liberties Committee, whose members masqueraded as civil-rights crusading "progressives." The two served on the board together.

I did not know Valerie lived in Iran when young. Shades of Obama.

Wow. Huh. That is something.

@pollyannaish

maybe she heard one of the prettiest sounds at sunset in the world from one of the minarets outside her home.

Well, then that would be a great reason to live there forever wouldn't it?

Agree, send her back

I did a profile of her on WA when she starting working for the administration. That was ONE of the very interesting things in her background.

This is her profile here:

It is not the same one that was on WA because after she started working for the WH some of her info was scrubbed from the net.

They are very good at scrubbing and locking up.

thanks! from your link

 

 

Think about this for a moment. In addition to Barack Obama serving on a Board with Bill Ayers, the mother of Obama’s most trusted political confidant (Valerie Jarrett) served on a Board with Bill Ayers’ father (along with Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn). As if that weren’t enough, Valerie Jarrett’s father-in-law was a close colleague of Barack Obama’s Communist mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.

Amazing, but true. You can't make this up. The ghosts of Chicago's political past are alive and well in Washington today. Today's political family at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue can be traced back to the political family of Chicago in the 1940s. It's all in the (political) family.

 

This is the fundamental change an uninformed electorate -- thanks especially to a woefully biased media -- elected in November 2008.

This stuff just makes my blood pressure soar. And I don't normally have high blood pressure.
