Scott Powell: Obama, Organizing For Action,
And The Death Throes Of The Democratic Party


Truth Revolt -- If you think you’re going crazy from non-stop news coverage of unruly, hateful and disruptive behavior and protests across the country since Donald Trump was elected President, rest assured there are veiled reasons for the current madness. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Goodwin asserts the ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is no temporarily insane reaction, but rather “a calculated plan to wreck the presidency, whatever the cost to the country.”

Just one week before Trump was inaugurated, then President Obama issued an extraordinary executive order, a reckless departure to longstanding policy, to allow the NSA to share with the FBI, CIA and 14 other intelligence agencies which continue to employ numerous Obama holdovers, the raw data and communications intercepts of private American citizens—collected without warrants, court orders or congressional authorizations. A plausible reason for Obama to issue this executive order at the end of his office was to set the stage for sabotaging the new government. Obama’s executive order effectively created and formalized a “conveyer belt” leak mechanism, setting the stage for a “rolling coup” against the Trump administration. The first head to roll was Lieutenant General Michael Flynn who was taken down within two weeks of taking office as Director of National Security. […]

The modus operandi of OFA comes right out of Obama’s support and sympathy for Marxism and his background as a left-wing community organizer. It’s a combination of agitation and propaganda—much like old-style Soviet agitprop, and Chicago-based Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.[…]

Many have wondered why Obama didn’t follow the tradition of almost every other ex-president and depart Washington after his term was up. Instead he moved into large home in Washington D.C.’s Embassy Row, allegedly to provide continuity for his daughter’s education and to stay close to the shapers of his presidential legacy. Those reasons are likely secondary to his vision and commitment to the “transformation” of America. Ramping up a hydra-headed organizational effort through OFA out of his 8,200 square foot walled mansion in Washington to protect the Left’s gains and to sabotage the electoral victory of Donald Trump is simply a natural progression for Obama.

Obama is no fool and he understands—having encouraged Black Lives Matter and the war on police and law enforcement, having facilitated ballooning welfare rolls and doubling student debt to $1.35 trillion, having presided over a flood of immigrants illegally crossing the southern border, and having pushed unprecedented deficit spending that added nearly a trillion dollars annually to the federal debt and doubling that debt in eight years to $20 trillion—that the U.S. is nearer collapse than at any previous time. And every Marxist knows that socialist transformation first requires collapse of the old order.

Obama has not only been trained in Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, but he’s familiar with the “crisis strategy theory” of Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, two neo-Marxists who taught at Columbia University, where Obama later studied. For Cloward and Piven, the left’s easiest route to socialist transformation is to overload the welfare state, which will trigger an insolvency crisis and financial collapse. U.S. Congressmen Steven King (R-Iowa) and Steve Stockman (R-Texas) both concur having stated that Obama was “playing out of the Cloward-Piven theory” by “attempting to flood the border with illegals.”[…]

Recent funding records are not available, but in just its first two years, OFA took in over $40 million, according to IRS filings. Not surprisingly, OFA’s major donors are also members of George Soros’s Democracy Alliance, which is a donors’ consortium of the left-wing super rich devoted to radical political change. Daniel Greenfield, the award-winning Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, believes “OFA will be far more dangerous in the wild than the Clinton Foundation ever was.” Since OFA has all the contact information assets of Obama’s predecessor 2008 and 2012 campaign organization, Organizing for America, which include 30 million email addresses, 3 million donors and 2 million active participants there should be no underestimating OFA’s potential influence, especially with an uncritical media covering it up.

Draining the swamp in Washington, D.C. will probably be Trump’s greatest challenge. But contrary to the early vocal critics among the establishment elites, aka the “Never Trumpers,” it now looks like Donald Trump is providing some long overdue backbone to the Republican Party. In contrast, the Democratic Party appears to be in the midst of death throes.

In Dante’s Inferno, the fifth of nine circles of Hell was characterized by an endless battle of angry, wailing souls taking place in a murky swamp. It is the Democratic Party—which is divided, ideologically rigid and corrupt, lacking in common sense, and filled with rage and moral superiority toward all that voted against their corrupt candidate—that is looking more like the endangered species, thanks in large part to Barack Obama, his Chicago ways, and his Organizing for Action.

Blog Author's Comments: Anyone who has followed Obama during his presidency knows that he hates America as it was prior to his being in office, and has embraced every group that shares his feelings. He has been spoiled by his unearned wealth and the good life he never earned but was given because he had dark skin. I agree with the author of the piece in that I also think he has enough foolish energy and ambition to do something like this. He was a community organizer, he has no private sector skills whatsoever but he does know how to round up those who think as he does. America is still a nation of laws. And no one is above the law, but Obama has managed for years to avoid the laws and do almost everything he has wanted to do.

The Democratic Party has in effect, been given to Obama. It no longer serves the purpose of a legitimate political party. After getting their heads handed to them in 2016 the democrats finally understand that they can't conquer America by legitimate means. So they'll use illegitimate means. If the Democrats lose every election for the next 8 years it won't matter because they're outside the system. They are changing the party to work as an insurgency. The GOP will therefore have to fight a two pronged battle, one to keep them out of electoral politics and one to fight the revolutionaries in the streets, in the media, and in the social welfare systems. The Obama cabal are traitors and while they do seek great wealth, they are driven more by ideology.

No president in US history has tried to undermine his successor like Obama is doing, and this is why President Trump needs the so-called leaders of the GOP to fight with him. They need to stop worrying about being reelected and do what is necessary for the party. They have to join ranks and pass the legislation that they can pass for the betterment of America. They have to do this to maintain and grow their power base, increase their seats in the Senate, put a number of hard-core conservatives on the Supreme Court and work as hard as Trump does and will continue to do. The chance to maintain control of the government for years is within our and their grasp and they cannot let it slip away.

How Will Democrats Deal With Obamacare's Political Fallout?


CBS News -- With the end-of-the-month deadline looming to fix HealthCare.gov, there is a growing realization among President Obama and his allies that they need a long-term strategy to mitigate the rocky rollout of the Affordable Care Act.

What exactly that strategy is remains to be seen, but it is increasingly necessary as Democrats grow frustrated with the slow pace of repairs and how that will impact their own political futures. Members of Mr. Obama's party are increasingly unwilling to back his every move. Thirty-nine House Democrats - nearly one-fifth of the caucus - helped pass a Republican plan Friday that would allow insurers to keep selling plans that existed on the individual market as of Jan. 1, 2013 through next year, in order to stop Americans from losing their insurance. Roughly three quarters of those Democrats are in competitive electoral districts where continued association with the failing health law can cut deep.

So Mr. Obama is turning to a familiar playbook to go on the offensive: shore up support among his base, the members of the grassroots Organizing for Action, which grew out of Mr. Obama's initial election and re-election efforts.

"I want to cut through the noise and talk with you directly about where we're headed in the fight for change," the president said to OFA members in an email inviting them to join a conference call on Monday. "I have just over three years left as president -- and there's a lot left on my to-do list. That's why I want to talk with you. You're the ones putting in the time and effort to achieve real progress, and fighting to make the agenda Americans voted for last fall a reality. I know we all care about what we can get done together these next few years, so let's talk about how to make it happen."

Indeed, Mr. Obama's agenda has been largely eclipsed by the rough start for the implementation of Obamacare, especially large, complex items like an immigration overhaul. Republicans, sensing a growing weakness in the White House, have no incentive to work with him. And it won't be easy to get much done: Mr. Obama is losing the confidence of the American people, who say by a margin of 52 to 44 percent that he is not honest and trustworthy.

Blog author's comments - "Thirty-nine House Democrats helped pass a Republican plan Friday that would allow insurers to keep selling plans that existed on the individual market as of Jan. 1, 2013 through next year, in order to stop Americans from losing their insurance." I don't believe the Democrats that voted with the Republicans care about those who are losing their health insurance...they are worried about their jobs. This bill was meaningless, but the Democrats can now go back to their constituents and tell them they voted to try and help them. I think most if not all Democrats will continue to agree with whatever Obama does. And that includes the liberals that belong to the Organizing for Action group.

One of the most important things in this column Obama said was "I have just over three years left as president -- and there's a lot left on my to-do list." Anyone who really cares about this country should do all they can to not allow him to push the items on his 'to-do' list on them. We cannot let it happen. Number one on his list is to win control of the House in 2014. We can stop this by voting against all Democrats in the House and Senate who are up for reelection. If the Democrats regain the House and continue to control the Senate during Obama's last two years in office, it will mean the end of the America we now know.

He will grant amnesty and citizenship to the illegals which will mean millions more Democratic Party voters. He will trash the Second Amendment with his gun control plans, taxes will be raised, he will pass another stimulus bill which will be much like his last one, unemployment will remain high, he will do more damage to the economy, he will continue to weaken the military and we will never recover from the debt he will have accumulated by the time he leaves office. The people should have already seen what he is capable of with the numerous scandals, Obamacare and his continuous lies to further his policies and agenda since he has been in office.

The election of 2014 may be the most important ever. The Republican Party can retain the House and win control of the Senate but it is up to the voters to make that happen to save what we have and hopefully change much of what we do not want.

Wisconsin Protests Backed By Obama

Rush Limbaugh On Wisconsin Protests - DNC and OFA



Blog author's comments - I am wondering how many people, across the country, graduated from college this past year or last year with a degree in Elementary or Secondary Education and are looking for a job.

I am sure there will be enough people to fill the positions that will soon be vacant, if schools continue to be shut down, and sick days run out for all these "dedicated-to-the-kids" teachers, who are protesting.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker stands firm against the Obama backed unions. Our president has sided with the uncivil union mob. I would have to guess that many of the "protesters" are not teachers and don't live in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin protesters whine about what they want. It's not about their wants; it's about what the state can afford.
