Myth Blaster: Obama’s Revenge by Joan Swirsky

Donald E. Farr sent me this entry in today’s edition of Myth Blaster entitled Obama’s Revenge. This email is circulating around and has an author’s name attached for a change. …

Once upon a time, a white teenager from Kansas got pregnant by her black Kenyan boyfriend, Barack Obama Sr., or was it her husband? Whatever. (I say whatever because we’ve never seen either marriage or divorce certificates). Some say the couple was in Kenya visiting relatives when the birth of their son, Barack Obama Jr., occurred. No matter. (I say no matter because we’ve never seen an authentic birth certificate). By the time the baby was two years old his father abandoned him for his other wife and child in Kenya. …
It didn’t take long for Barry’s mother to meet and marry an Indonesian native named Lolo Soetoro. They moved to Indonesia, where her child became Barry Soetoro, took on Indonesian citizenship, and was presumably schooled in public, Christian, and Muslim schools. (I say presumably because we’ve never seen those school records). But when Barry was 10 years old, his mother sent him back to the U.S. to be raised by her parents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, although she kept her baby daughter Maya Soetoro with her.
I wonder how the by-now fully-sentient young Barry felt when his mother sent him packing? Sad? Jealous of the baby who remained behind with mommy? … What did Barry do with those feelings?
By the time he was 10, the boy had been abandoned three times – by his father, his stepfather, and his mother. And although he was raised by his white grandparents in Hawaii – where “people of color” were not his color – he found out soon enough that his mixed-race background rendered him, in effect, an outsider. …
But he wasn’t altogether an outsider. In Hawaii, young Barry met Frank Marshall Davis, his first and perhaps most influential mentor. The infamous Marshall, a Communist activist (and self-confessed pedophile) taught Barry – was it Obama, Soetoro, Dunham? – that white people were the devil incarnate and that blacks were the most “victimized” people on earth.
Yet the abandoned and rejected child was lucky. His white-devil grandparents gave him a comfortable life in Hawaii, and an education that apparently qualified him to attend several prestigious schools – Occidental College in CA, Columbia Univ. in NY City, and Harvard Law School in Cambridge, MA (I say apparently qualified because we’ve never seen any of his college transcripts).

After his undergraduate days at Columbia, Obama chose not to go to graduate school, but instead held various jobs in the Big Apple and then moved to Chicago to become a community organizer. Although he had been exposed to American exceptionalism through his life in the United States and his privileged education, it is clear that his exposure to Marshall and the other radicals he had met during his years in New York – among them the unrepented domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn of Weather Underground infamy – made the deepest and most lasting impressions.
Their messages of American imperialism and its white-devil culture clearly resonated in the thrice-abandoned boy. In his young-adult and adult years, free to choose his friends and pursuits, he opted exclusively for far-left socialists and Marxists, and activities aimed at relieving the suffering of people he perceived to be as victimized as apparently he felt he had been. He understood their feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and impotent rage, as well as the pain of fatherlessness. After all, his Harvard-educated father consciously chose to leave him. And his mother gave him away. Was that depressing to Barry? Infuriating?
When the opportunity to join one of dozens of churches in Chicago, Barry – who had morphed into Barack – opted for the Trinity United Church of Christ, which was led by the fire-breathing Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose decades-long anti-American and anti-Semitic rants apparently resonated in Obama’s rejected and abandoned heart and soul. (I say apparently resonated because in over 20 years of regular attendance, Obama said he heard nothing inflammatory or anti-American, and we’ve never seen the videotapes of any sermon, although each one was unfailingly recorded).
“God damn America,” Wright raged. “The chickens have come home to roost,” he “preached” to his whooping and hollering congregation after 9/11. Obama heard nothing.
But it wasn’t only Wright who Obama was attracted to in Chicago. He was also drawn to another hate-spewing radical, Rev. Louis Farrakhan, as well as to the raving Father Michael Pfleger, the radical Islamist Rashid Khalidi, his friends and neighbors the Ayers, and to equally-close friends “Tony” and Rita Rezko – Tony being the notorious “fixer” and now-convicted-and-imprisoned felon for fraud, bribery, and money laundering. What did the seemingly mild-mannered Obama find so irresistible in these angry and/or crooked people and others like them? …
In these relationships and in community organizing – which offers inner-city mostly black residents job training, tutoring, and methods to organize tenants’-rights groups and voter-registration drives, etc. – the twenty-something Obama apparently found his calling, and also a renewed and burning ambition.
While his community-organizing job paid a paltry $12,000 or so per year, Obama somehow managed to pay his way through one of the priciest graduate schools in the world. Harvard Law School. (( say somehow managed because we have no record of his tuition payments). Even more amazing, he became the first black president of the Harvard Law Review without ever producing a written paper – or at least a paper that the public has ever read.
There is a good deal of evidence that Obama’s acceptance at Harvard Law – and his tuition – were facilitated by friends who had a vested interest in the community organizer. Among them was Percy Sutton, a former Manhattan borough president and ardent leftist, who was also Malcolm X’s lawyer. In an interview last year, the octogenarian Sutton stated: “I was introduced to [Obama] by a friend. The friend’s name was Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, and the introduction took place about 20 years ago.” Sutton described al-Mansour as “the principle adviser to one of the world’s richest men” and suggested that al-Mansour asked him if he would write a letter to Harvard recommending Obama, which Sutton did most agreeably. This took place about 1988 when 27-year-old Obama was applying to Harvard Law.
Journalist Jack Cashill has credibly speculated that Obama’s two memoirs were actually written by his pal Bill Ayers, who was and is a University of Illinois at Chicago English professor, having escaped life in prison on a technicality. Two years [after he was admitted to law school], Cashill writes, “while still a law student, Obama improbably received an advance to write a memoir that would be called ‘Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,’ which was published in 1995.” His second memoir, published in 2006, was “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.” (I suspect Cashill said “improbably received an advance” because, as stated earlier, Obama has not produced even one paper or distinguished himself in any way to have inspired a major publishing company to approach him).
And this begs the question: Who writes two memoirs about himself before the age of 45? My own speculation is that it could be no one but a narcissist. … A lot of people have some degree of narcissism, which is characterized by grandiosity, an unquenchable need for admiration, unhealthy self-absorption, dependence on the affirmation of others, and also a lack of empathy, which is hidden by both personal charm and the kind of earnest language that pretends to “feel your pain.”
Or he could be a malignant narcissist, which psychiatrist Dr. Otto Kernberg, a legendary leader in thought disorders, compares to a narcissist on steroids. This variety involves paranoid traits (think of Obama’s thin-skinned, quasi-hysterical reactions to Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin), and ego-syntonic aggression, which means the person is perfectly in-sync with people who have the courage he lacks to lash out.
But consider the source! Obama’s father was a self-aggrandizing narcissist who thought nothing of throwing his son away to fulfill his own ambitions and his mother also threw him away for the same reason. …
This leads me to only one conclusion, which I wrote about in a former article: “Obama The Trojan Horse.” My theory is that President Obama’s narcissistic charm, even temperament, skill with words (teleprompter included), hunger to please, radical agenda, and subterranean rage at the “unfair” American system have been brilliantly exploited by powerful leftist radicals and Marxists in the United States, who for decades have plotted America’s path to socialism. He is their pawn, totally dispensable but handy while the “aura” lasts.
These “handlers” saw in Obama the ideal blank slate on which to actualize their agenda, and they made sure the slate remained blank by concealing (or destroying) any evidence of his past, including his birth certificate. Selective Service record, visa(s), school transcripts, and other vital documents. All of which is costing his moneyed backers – including America-loathing billionaire George Soros – multimillions in lawyers’ fees to fight the proliferating lawsuits that seek the truth about this stealth president.
In fact, former ambassador Alan Keyes, one of the many plaintiffs seeking proof of Obama’s American citizenship, has reported that Obama’s lawyers have now filed a motion to quash our effort to obtain the relevant documents … [which] confirms Obama’s ruthless determination to destroy anyone who continues to seek the information the Constitution requires. Obama thus signals his intent to bring financial ruin on those who won’t accept his cover-up of the circumstances of his birth is a tactical escalation. It confirms the common sense suspicion that he won’t act forthrightly in this matter because he has something to hide.”
It is clear that Obama and his fellow radicals are restive. In the less-than four weeks of his presidency, the new president has taken volumes from the Marxian handbook, which dictates that the stupid masses be blitzed with an overload of information, hollow press conferences, appointments, dismantling of formerly effective national-security programs, et al., in order to set the stage for a massive, Soviet-style takeover of our government, including a civilian national security force that Obama has said should be “just as powerful, strong and well-funded as the U.S. military.” Echoes of Nazi Germany in 1938, anyone?
According to writer Kyle-Anne Shrive, in Obama’s ascendance:
“We have yet to see a more perfect collision of Murphy’s law with the Peter Principle. In only three weeks time [he] has signaled to every terrorist on the planet that we are a sorry, groveling, ashamed nation ready to come to the diplomatic confessional. He is closing Gitmo within one year, has suspended trials there, and dismissed the charges against the U.S.S. Cole plotter. [He] has just put our money where his mouth is and is using $20.3 million to bring in Palestinian refugees from Gaza … [he] had the gall to pronounce the so-called economic stimulus bill absolutely free of ‘earmarks’ and ‘make-do work’ … but according to the Congressional Budget Office [this bill] will do worse to our overall economy than no government action whatsoever.”
And Obama has done all this with the predictable double-speak that characterizes malevolent intention, i.e., touting transparency while concealing everything, speaking of integrity while appointing crooks and incompetents riddled with conflicts-of-interest, supporting energy independence while killing off-shore and domestic oil-drilling and nuclear power, and feigning optimism while he speaks of impending “catastrophe” in order to push through a pork-laden, trillion-dollar-plus Stimulus plan that rewards the corrupt voter-fraud organization ACORN with billions and unions with discriminatory union-only labor agreements, paves the way for socialized medicine, and threatens to take away the most cherished rights of We The People.
As blogger Eric Gurr has said: “We still talk about the health care crisis, the environmental crisis, the oil crisis, the banking crisis. Let me tell you my friends you are about to learn the meaning of the only crisis that matters, the survival crisis.”
You can be sure that the sad-lonely-angry two-year-old, the jealous –confused-resentful 10-year-old, the self-conscious-cheated-victimized adolescent, and the man who found solace in and identified with his hate-America mentors is now determined to redeem all of his demons.
Unfortunately, he is acting out his rage on free-market capitalism, a free press, property and gun rights, a limited constitutional government, protection of the unborn, and everything else that is good and great about our country.
This is Obama’s revenge!

Myth Blaster Verdict:

TRUE. Facts in the sense that Joan Swirksy wrote this article and that most of its content is based upon reliable information concerning Obama’s association, records and character. This article was published at Canada Free Press, February 15^th, 2009 by the journalist and author – Joan Swirsky. The only questionable part would be the claim that Marshall Davis was a pediophile just because he wrote a pornographic novel that depicted a character of a 13-year-old who performed sexual acts, but on researching he did admit that the people and incidents were based on truth, as explained below.

Joan Swirsky has received seven Long Island Press Awards in which she wrote about health, science, and featured articles for The New York Times Long Island section for over 20 years. She is formerly an obstetrical nurse and Lamaze teacher, and a practicing psychotherapist, thus the detailed and accurate analysis of Barack Obama’s character and childhood background – combined to make a psychological profile that others have discussed and presenting question on the several missing blanks in Barack “Barry” Obama’s life BEFORE Election Day 2008. The American voter ignored it because they were too intent upon believing his diatribe of the wonderful world with Barack Obama as president. After all, the voters couldn’t miss an opportunity to have the first African American for president, could they? Totally disregarding the facts presented of his associations, past and present, and his questionable birth records and other records never produced for the public. What other candidate could get away with that. If the American voter wanted the first African American president, why did they ignore the candidate with character, sincerity and determination to make true reform – Alan Keyes? The media and others stated that Alan Keyes had no political experience and only held an ambassador position in government. Yet the community organizer who was a senator for a short period of time by the time he chose to run or his handlers chose him to run for President of the United States from 2008 to 2012. Based upon his associations and affiliation alone, he would have never passed a security clearance background check – if he hadn’t had powerful handlers to prevent the disclosure from being taken seriously.

Ms. Swirsky has the background of the 44^th President of the United States fairly correct, except for a particular entry that is not concrete but certainly points to one of his mentors being a communist and a pediophile, however the lack of Obama’s response with proof during his campaign and choosing to ignore it makes it even more suspicious, except for a couple of rebuttals provided by the campaign committee. Here are my counterpoint concerning a portion of this article dissiminated via chain email …

Joan Swirsky wrote:

In Hawaii, young Barry met Frank Marshall Davis, his first and perhaps most influential mentor. The infamous Marshall, a Communist activist (and self-confessed pedophile) taught Barry … that white people were the devil incarnate and that blacks were the most “victimized” people on earth.

In the 1930s to the 1950s, underground communist movement in America was real, focusing on people disillusioned and jobless, mingling with trade and union labor movements and organizations. Mr. Davis worked for the American Negro Press and had associates who were pro-communist or pro-socialist during this period like Paul Robeson. After Mr. Davis moved to Hawaii in 1948, he wrote a weekly column for the Honolulu Record that was published by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. In 1950 the House Un-American Activities Committee accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations. While in Atlanta he became involved in black activism and was managing editor of the first African American daily newspaper called the Atlanta Daily World in 1931, as Wikipedia entry points out:

In the pages of the paper, Davis articulated an agenda of social realism, which included appeals for racial justice in politics and economics, as well as legal justice. He championed black activism, especially to compensate for social ills not remedied by the larger white society. He warned against blacks accepting Depression-era remedies being pushed by communists. He continued to write and publish poems … In 1935, Davis moved back to Chicago to take the position of managing editor of the Associated Negro Press, a news service for black newspapers, which had begun in 1919. … During the Depression, Davis participated in the federal Works Progress Administration Writers’ Project. … While in Chicago, Davis also started a photography club, worked for numerous political parties, and participated in the League of American Writers.

Mr. Davis was a community organizer in Chicago and started a Chicago labor newspaper, The Star, around the end of World War II. In 1946, married a second wife in Chicago – a white socialite and two years later he, and wife Helen, moved to Hawaii at the suggestion of a friend Paul Robeson. Mr. Davis operated a small wholesale paper business called Oahu Papers that mysteriously burned to the ground in March of 1951. He started another firm called the Paradise Paper Company and wrote a weekly column for the Honolulu Record that was published by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union headed by Harry Bridges. During this period Mr. Davis wrote about the working class, cultural issues and political issues focusing upon racism. He also wrote a history of blues and jazz. How could a man marry a white woman and be a black racist? Of course, they divorced in 1970

In Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father he wrote about a friend named Frank whom he met in Hawaii and found that his maternal grandfather and Mr. Davis had grown up only 50 miles apart near Wichita, Kansas. Barack described the way race relations were in the days of his youth in Hawaii discussing race relations that included Jim Crow and that Frank had stated that little progress had been made. Obama wrote:

It made me smile, thinking back on Frank and his old Black Power, dashiki self. In some ways he was as incurable as my mother, as certain in his faith, living in the same sixties time warp that Hawaii had created.

Gerald Home, editor of Political Affairs magazine claimed that Mr. Davis was a decisive influence in helping find his present identity as an African-American. The true relationship with the person he called Frank, the Mr. Davis who was a columnist, an activist, an author, poet and writer of pornography has been disputed and unclear. This is addressed in a book entitled The Obama Nation, in which a rebuttal by the Obama presidential campaign committee wrote entitled Unfit for Publication.

Lisa Derrick wrote in an article published by Huffington Post:

To reference Miller again, his Tropic of Cancer was certainly pornoliciously autobiographical-or at least written in the first person, a standard literary device-and was banned in the United States for its adult language and situations. But how truthful, or rather factual, is that literary classic? We shan’t ever really know, in the same way to speculate how much fact or fantasy went into Davis’ Sex Rebel: Black is purely that-speculation.

And in an autobiographical manuscript that was discovered after Mr. Davis’ death is where the admission of the mentor of Barack Obama confessed to pediophile experiences that became part of one of his books, Sex Rebel: Black.

Derrick quoted Davis:

“I could not then truthfully deny that this book, which came out in 1968 as a Greenleaf Classic, was mine,” Davis wrote. In the introduction to Sex Rebel: Black, Davis (writing as Greene) explains that although he has “changed names and identities… all incidents I have described have been taken from actual experiences.”

This is where Ms. Swirsky got her information that Davis was a self-confessed pediophile. Of course the leftist Derrick downplays the confession.

Other than those counterpoints, the truth of the Marxist/socialist radicals he associated with and who supported his efforts as community organizer, senator and then running for president is truth. Despite what Obama groupies believe – association does matter. It mattered to the political left who Sarah Palin, McCain and GW Bush associated with, so what makes Barack Obama special? And besides, the Obama administration policies and activism match the allegations.
