Is Khalid al-Mansour the man behind Obama myth?
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | August 28, 2008 | Jack Cashill

A few weeks back, I wrote a column titled, "Who Wrote 'Dreams From My Father'?" My research led me to the conclusion that a literary neophyte like Obama could not have written the memoir on his own. It was simply too well crafted.

I was also suspicious about his claim that publishers had sought him out, while still unknown, contract in hand. I doubted, too, that the publisher would have paid him a hefty advance.

And I refused to believe that his publisher would have invested the hefty ghostwriting fee needed to rescue the project after four years of amateurish dithering, a dithering that included an extended stay for Barack and Michelle on Bali.

"The whole story smells of purposeful intervention," I wrote. "The whole book does. A political career holds more promise when launched with a lovely memoir under one's belt than with an unfulfilled contract over one's head. Much more."

Interesting speculation by Jack. Thanks for posting. Does the man at the head of the ‘rat ticket have any real close friends who are not on the fringes?

I must admit I have quietly harbored similar thoughts. Following his story line, noting significant gaps and applying some common sense and reason, I suspect Obama is in fact a puppet. But I just have no idea of who might be holding the strings. Soros?? probably not, but who???

please - I am not a conspiracy type - just a thinker.

As long as they (the researchers for WND) admits they may be speculating, the whole WND staff becomes more credible.

But, the writer's arguments “small” correct - could be accurate.

The second, more likely, is a Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour, described as “an internationally acknowledged adviser to heads of state and business leaders in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and North America.”

Apparently, al-Mansour serves on the Board of, among others, Saudi African Bank and was responsible for the Africa investment activities of Kingdom Holdings, Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal’s investment company.

Two other details argue for this al-Mansour’s involvement in Obama’s academic and literary careers. He has been a guest lecturer at Harvard University and has authored 24 books.

In short, al-Mansour fits the profile of the political godfather.

That is the million dollar question. What angers me is how did obama get this far?

Let us also remember that the authorship of JFK's book "Profiles in Courage" has also been called into question, with most pointing at Ted Sorensen as being largely the author along with some others.

There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to Democrat tactics.

Well, we have just over two months to figure that out...

Puppet. That’s the word I’ve been trying to think of for months. There has been something not quite right with him and puppet is it.

I think of Obama as a ventriloquist's dummy. Question is whose mouth piece is he and who is controlling him??????

This is al-Mansour's web-site....

http://www.world-hi.com/AAPressHome.html

It is a sales site for his books....nearly all unpublished.

Despite the Arabic sounding name this guy is as American as Jesse Jackson or Percy Sutton.

I've mailed data on this guy to Levin and Rush. But for some reason they are avoiding digging into either this obama connection or the Kenyan/Odinga mother lode.

What is interesting about the “hints” in this article is the recurring image of a “man behind the curtain” ...

Is Soros one of the “international financial” groups influenced by, and funding, this writer?

It is fairly easy to identify authors now using software and a bit of deduction by an expert.

Might be interesting to figure out who the ghost writer is.

I usually shun WND but this perked my interest.

I used to read WND daily. I've also had one of my Letters to the Editor chosen as "Letter of the Week."

HOWEVER, they never published ANY of my letters that were critical of Obama, going all the way back to 2004. Even now, when the multitude of their readers are now getting wise to Obama, my NObama letters are being ignored.

Also ignored was the research I sent to them right after the Daily Kos published the Obama COLB image forgery. Instead, they ran the story that the Israel Insider published, well after my research, that did mention my research.

But, WND could have had an exclusive, and they blew it, bigtime.
