Barack Obama's Lessons Well Learned

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky

This wikipedia explanation of Saul Alinsky explains Obama's ties to Saul Alinsky who wrote the book "Rules for Radicals" . The article states "Alinsky's teachings influenced Barack Obama in his early career as a community organizer on the far South Side of Chicago.[8][9] Working for Gerald Kellman's Developing Communities Project, Obama learned and taught Alinsky's methods for community organizing."

The Canadian Free Press quoted Saul Alinsky's son as saying "Barack Obama learned his lessons well", after seeing the Democratic National Convention. Canadian Free Press reported that, Alinsky’s son L. David Alinsky, says of his father’s influence at the Dem Convention: “ALL the elements were present: the individual stories told by real people of their situation and hardships, the packed-to-the rafters crowd, the crowd’s chanting of key phrases and names, the action on the spot of texting and phoning to show instant support and commitment to jump into the political battle, the rallying selections of music, the setting of the agenda by the power people.”

“Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness,” Alinsky Jr. wrote to the Globe. “It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lesson well. “I am proud to see that my father’s model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday.”

So, we know he trained in Salinsky's method and taught Salinsky's method in his early career, which was not that long ago!

He was taught this by Jerry Kellman, an organizer working in Chicago. Kellman was an Alinsky protege. After college Obama moved to Chicago to be part of the Jerry Kellman organization as a community organizer. Alinsky's goal was radical socialism and redistribution of wealth. Alinsky taught his proteges to "HIDE" their true goals by any means necessary. Lying was fine. The objective of Alinsky and Kellman was to turn people against the white establishment.

Another method recommended by Alynski that Obama seems to be trained in, is vagueness. More specifically, he instructs not to be specific about anything until you establish your base. Isn't that familiar? We never heard anything specific until he got in office. You could believe what you wanted as long a you believe in "change". "Change" as a motivator come directly from Salinsky's book, "Rules for Radicals".

Michelle Obama quoted concepts from Rules for Radicals (Alinsky's Bible for Marxism) when quoting her husband in a speech. This has been reported all over the internet. Google it. I believe this was mentioned in at least conservative media during the election cycle, but due to lazy journalism it wasn't covered as extensively as it should have been.

Once you understand the "rules" it may be easy to understand why Obama continues to use words to upgrade the level of fear in our country. The purpose is to agitate and cause us to beg the government during our time of chaos to help us, thereby giving the government more power. It's a revolution he's after.

We need to understand that he is going to try to get us to our knees. If he had any concern for the economy, he'd stay off tv. Everytime he is on the markets drop. But, I will bet he will be on the tv every day making policy announcements that scare the pants off of Wall Street Investors until we are beneath DJI Avg of 5,000. Then a rescue will be offered, it will come with strings attached.

We need to understand the powers of influence he is using on our people. He is up there saying he is going to save everyone. A lot of people are buying into that b/c they don't feel they have the power to get out of their situation, they've been taught this in our public school systems that teach social justice.

Obama will continually have press conferences in front of friendly media and at rally's so that we all think everyone else is accepting of his policies. This has a psychological effect on people, especially those who don't follow issues closely, don't know history, and don't understand our government and our constitution, which is most of the US, sadly.

What can you do? First, get informed. Join a group online such as, Eagle Forum, Woman for America, American Family Association or another conservative group and sign up for action alerts. Write your representives in your state and in DC. Inform your friends.

With an influential machine in the White House, still raising money, excelling at mass merchandising of Obama merchandise, we cannot be silent until the next election. We have to keep our eyes and ears open and get the word out and be involved by writing letters.
