Barack Obama's Close Encounter with the Weather Underground

Did the presidential candidate and the revolutionary terror group cross paths at a violent 1981 anti-Apartheid protest?

Barack Obama would have you believe that the bombings by the radical domestic terrorists known as The Weather Underground were something that happened "when I was eight years old" and with which he had absolutely no connection. And while it is true that their bombings started when Obama was eight years old, they actually continued until he was twenty years old. And, incredibly, the life of Barack Obama and the terror campaign of the Weather Underground nearly intersected on the evening of September 26, 1981 at an anti-Apartheid protest which turned violent at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

I'm tempted to say they may have intersected, rather than just "nearly." But I don't know for sure.

What I do know is that Obama had the same political interests as the final remnants of the Weather Underground at the exact same time in the exact same place. That he was living in the same city where and when they conducted their second-to-last terror attack, which was a protest against the Apartheid polices of South Africa -- the very topic to which Obama has said he was devoted at that time. So because of all this, Obama must have known about the Weather Underground and their tactics while he was still in college. So when he met Weather Underground founder William Ayers 13 years later, Obama certainly had to have known exactly who Ayers was and what he had done.

Obama admits attending the annual Socialist Scholars Conferences in New York City while he was living there. Both he and Ayers was living there during the early eighties. And you KNOW Bill Ayers wouldn't have missed the event if his miserable life depended on it. Strange how no photos have turned up of Obama, either with Ayers or at one of these radical events. That is, except for the one the LA Times is holding back.

It would be interesting to know what he was doing during the summer of 1981. The NYT article claims he did not arrive in NYC until August.

That’s pretty quick to then orient oneself to an entirely new university, start and get up to speed on classes and at the same time get connected with the criminal Weather Underground anti-apartheid crowd in time to be at the September 26 JFK event.

He must have had radical left contacts that bridged the transition from Occidental in Los Angeles to New York. He appears to have had absolutely no connection to New York City or to Columbia University before deciding to transfer there after his sophomore year.

It is unusual for students to transfer after two years; after one year, it is not unusual. There must be more to the story about what drove Obama to leave a college he had already settled into for two years to go to a city and a university he had no prior connection to, rather than a vague goal of studying political science.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

His trip to Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Kenya in 1981 must have been during the summer of that year.

The bridge from Occidental to Columbia appears to be his circle of Pakistani friends. It appears he was given Sadik’s name in advance of arriving.

I’m thinking that what Obama is hiding about his Columbia years may be some embarassing connection to muslim organizations. And more of a social than a religious connection, as far as Obama is concerned.

It seems unlikely he spent all two years at Columbia in the library as he claims.

I think at heart Obama is and always has been an atheist like his mother, even as he attended muslim prayers as a child with his stepfather in Indonesia and even though he claims he was led to Christianity by Jeremiah Wright. We know Wright was not preaching the real Gospel, but using it as a cloak for narrow worldly racism and politics. And Obama all but comes out and says that his decision to join a church in Chicago was for political motives.

I suspect Obama may have been part of a social circle of muslims, probably consisting mainly of Pakistanis, blacks and Palestinians, during his years at Columbia. This is probably why almost no Columbia students recall him being around. At Columbia, he may have became close to Edward Said and Rashid Khalidi through social as well as classroom contact.

Perhaps the Weather Underground scumbags were introduced to Obama and immediately tried to befriend him, as another possible link to black muslims which they saw as a strategic alliance.

“Bank Street College is located in a bustling family and university neighborhood four blocks from Columbia University”

The way I figure Obama and Ayers met is the following:

Obama lived in 5 different off-campus apartments with his Pakistani (non-student) roommate “Siddek” in NYC while at Columbia U. On campus Barack has admitted to attending Socialistic (anti-American) rallies at the Coppers Union.
He likely continued to attend them after he graduated, but was still in NYC (1983-1985). Ayers was in NYC 1984-1987 at the Bank Street College. So both Ayers and Obama were in NYC traveling in the same sociopolitical circles from 1984-1985 (about 2 years).

I figure they first met at a Bill Carmichael (Black Marxist for Capitalism) Forum at the Columbia Coopers Union (Obama has admitted to attending a Carmichael event) and then stumble into each other soon after at a Starbucks or some other “coffee house”. Bill Ayers is a Starbucks coffee adict.

I believe that Obama met Ayers while in NYC because the first job Obama got after college was at a money/investment type firm that counseled foreigners on American investments. Obama wrote the “Money Newsletter” there.
This place was supposedly a front for the C.I.A.

Obama says he next went to work for a few weeks on the campaign of a congressional candidate in Brooklyn. The candidate lost. Later, the candidate who won (in 1984!), endorsed Obama (an Illinois senator) over Hillary Clinton (a New York senator) in the democratic primary. I think the candidate that barack worked on behalf of may have been a New Party Candidate or a candidate supported by some other leftist group. This may have been arranged by Bill Ayers.

The next job Obama held was as a community organizer for a “Ralph Nadar” offshoot at City College of New York in Harlem. At that time (just like now) there is a distinct radical faction on campus at CCNY. He lasted only 3 months there. I think this job was the first one arranged for Obama by Bill Ayers as a sort of proving ground.

The very next job he takes is that of a community organizer for Jerry Kellman at the Developing Communities Project, a job made possible by a $25,000 grant from Ann Rudd at the Woods Fund at the request of Chairman of the Woods Fund, Bill Ayers. (Is Ann Rudd related to Mark Rudd, a founder of the Weather Underground?)

Obama was also in New York at Columbia when members of the weatherground (whose child Ayers later raised) pulled off the Brinks Robbery of 1981.

Here’s some information on that robbery:
http://tv.com/library/crime/terrorists_spies/terrorists/brinks/4.html

“Jeral Wayne Williams ablack nationalist, ran a financially corrupt acupuncture clinic in Lincoln Hospital in New York City, the first such clinic in the Bronx. Williams was an articulate and persuasive individual who recruited many disciples to follow him. Under the banner of black self-determination, he convinced his accomplices that it was up to them to seize funds from legitimate sources and “redistribute” the money to various black causes.

All the men in back of the van were members of a group they called “The Family.” Most of them had ties to the Black Panthers or the Black Liberation Army, radical political groups that had many violent confrontations with police during the 1970s.”

Saddek Visited Obama’s 2 Pakistani friends and 1 indian friend while Obama was at Occidental College in LA. I think Saddek is who helped guide Obama to Columbia in NY. The wierdest part of the Saddek story is that he was never in the US as a student. He was not here on a student visa. In his book, “Dreams from My Father” Obama wrote that Saddek was always worried that someone from the government would come for him someday and deport him because he had overstayed his visitor’s visa.

When Obama traveled to Pakistan it was in the summer of 1981. He was accompanied by one of his Pakistani roommates. When they got to Pakistan, they stayed at the family home of the Pakistani roommate for about three weeks. Then Obama went to India and then he went to Kenya.

I know Obama was already interested in Apartheid in South Africa and the disenfranchisement of blacks in South African culture because the first speech he gave (sophomore year, occidental) was on the topic of the evils of Apartheid. While at Occidental Obama also took part in the Black Student Association (he did this at Columbia too) and he was “mentored” by a Marxist political science teacher and he ran with a particular male gay teacher that led politically charged discussions also.

"they [the Weather Underground] employed revolutionary jargon, advocated armed struggle and black liberation and began bombing buildings, taking responsibility for at least 20 attacks. Estimates of their number ranged at times from several dozen to several hundred."

Obama is himself like a thanksgiving table...on it/him is spread the finest cloth, a presentation of the most beautiful china and crystal, seated around him his new friends who can show their face in public without scandal; lift the cloth and look what’s hiding under the table......what fills his empty space inside...Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Khalidi, Dorn, Davis....

[HighlyOpinionated]

I have said before, Obama had to have met Ayers prior to the “official” date because Ayers chose an “untried” Obama to be Chair of the Annenberg Foundation Fortune Giveaway.

A person doesn’t just “happen” to get picked for that type of position. But someone who knows that person, maybe wrote a book or two for that person, groomed that person, and maybe KNOWS that one way to Undermine the Constitution would be to get a Non US Citizen voted in as President.

When Obama started rising to the top of the manure pile a bit too fast, I knew he was full of hot air and was being escorted there by persons previously unknown.

NOTHING IN BARRY DUNHAM SOETORO OBAMA’S LIFE CAN BE CONSIDERED COINCIDENCE. Follow the Money.
