I don't watch much TV but I don't think those are the same guy. Nice thing about Freep land we should get answer quickly.
I don't watch TV much either jwsea55, but was a student at UC Berkeley when Khalid al-Mansour was there attending law school at Boalt, and hosting a two hour political diatribe every Saturday morning. His name then, his “slave name”, was Don Warden, one of the founders of the Black Panthers.
Warden/Mansour sounded like a calm Rev. Wright, who was also a Black Nationalist about that time, a fluent orator with real mastery of his version of history, convincing to someone with little background. Mansour had many lectures on YouTube last time I looked. He is not "dingy" like Farrakhan (who hints that he killed Malcolm when Malcolm decided that Black Nationism wasn't the true Islam, and visited Mecca to find the “truth”).
Jack Cashill dug up an article (and included a link in his WND article) by someone named Frank Miele, which recounted and sourced an article from November 6, 1979, by Vernon Jarrett, Valarie's communist father, recounting an interview he, Jarrett, conducted with Khalid al-Mansour in 1979, just about the time Khalid recounted having first met Barry at Occidental, in which Khalid announces an effort to fund the educations of minorities, particularly black minorities, throughout the world, but particularly focusing on the US.
Mansour was known as a Wahhabi recruiter for bin-Talal, working US prisons and supporting future Jihadis. Bin-Talal, besides lavishly donating to Harvard just before Barry's tenure there, twenty million dollars worth, and afterword funding the Al-Waleed bin-Talal Center for Islamic Studies, dominating the Harvard Divinity School, at least in terms of resources, but also for his offer to Giuliani of ten million dollars to soften the misbehavior of some of his minions who demolished the World Trade Center and three thousand citizens. Bin-Talal is also the largest external stockholder of News Corp which owns FOX News and the WSJ, along with having large holdings Goldman Sachs, Citicorp, Cisco, Oracle, etc. etc.)
There is a paper trail, Vernon Jarrett to Don Warden/al-Mansour to Barry to Percy Sutton. There has been some of the usual disinformation. The al-Mansour YouTube video in which al-Mansour mentions meeting the young Obamam at Occidental seems to have disappeared (though, should it every become important, I know someone who downloaded most of Mansour's videos), but Percy Sutton, Army Air Corp pilot, attorney to Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, Charles Rangel, and Borough President in Manhattan, told the truth. We may disagree with some of his causes, but he was a proud man, and did not need to lie about his past.
Read Paul Kandor (or Trevor Louden at NewZeal), and many other researchers from the not distant past, about Axelrod’s Stalinist champions the Cantors, who lived and worked for Stalin in the the USSR before returning to Chicago, and the Communist Jarretts, and Jarrett's old comrade Marshall Davis, and the father's dreams, albeit from several fathers, becomes clear.
Al-Mansour is very significant, and bin-Talal was almost certainly Barry's patron. Vernon Jarrett even announced Mansour’s program, though it certainly didn't have much of an audience in the St. Petersberg news paper in 1979 (The Miele article has the URL, which may or may not remain at "state-run" Google.)
There is a curious coincidence in that bin-Talal was in college, Menlo College in the SF Bay Area in the early 70s while Don Warden was at Boalt Hall in Berkeley, and Hillary was working for a law firm reputedly defending Black Panthers. The world of revolutionaries is a small one, so it wouldn't be a surprise to find that they knew of each other and perhaps even met at one of the many cocktail parties hosted by liberal Jewish attorneys, where the Panthers were often celebrity guests (speaking from experiencing a few of those parties). Warden, according to someone who wrote about him, (perhaps Ken Timmerman), hated those “honky” affairs.
I haven't checked to see if Hillary worked at Warden's law firm, and doubt it, but she moved in the Axelrod, Alinsky, Jarrett, circle. The most important realization is that Frank Miele, has connected Vernon Jarrett with Mansour and explained the program, and explained who Mansour is. Someone who hasn't listened to hours of Don Warden lecturing on the evils of white people (because the station played more Coltrane than any other station and I would tune out Warden while doing chores) might not understand how committed he was to annihilating western society. He was, according to Percy Sutton, Obama’s patron. Mansour, by his own description - it wasn't an admission since he, like Sutton, was proud of his patronage - began to guide Barry in 1979 or 1980. This seems likely to be why Barry's past has been buried. The left permeates the State Department, CIA, the Justice Department. There may be some left, perhaps even part of the 47%, who wouldn't eagerly vote for hope and change guided by someone recruited by a Wahhabi black nationalist and whose patron is a Saudi Prince.
