The following is a news item pulled from the website of LaRouchepac.com
June 23, 2009 (LPAC)--Health Care for America Now (HCAN), endorsed by President Obama as the coalition pushing his health-care (euthanasia) reform, is a project of billionaire British-agent speculator George Soros, his Tides Foundation, and the Saul Alinsky counter-insurgency networks Soros used to ramp up the Obama Presidential candidacy.
Though labor unionists will come into Washington on June 25 to rally and lobby for the Obama "reform," the HCAN organization sponsoring the D.C. events explicitly opposes the single-payer health-care plan favored by labor and by most Americans.
The group was established in July 2008 as an adjunct to the Soros operations supporting the Obama candidacy. At the outset, HCAN National Campaign Director Richard Kirsch wrote (July 16, 2008, Huffingtonpost) under the headline, "Why Not Single-Payer?" "I want to take a moment and address those of you who have been asking why Health Care for America Now is not focusing on creating a single-payer health insurance system." Kirsch explains that he used to believe in that sort of thing, but came to realize it would scare people.
Richard Kirsch was for 22 years an executive of the Saul Alinsky-modeled group led by Heather Booth, Citizen Action.
The inner core that created HCAN are the tight clique of Soros front organizations, ACORN, Americans United for Change, Campaign for America's Future, Center for American Progress, Center for Community Change, MoveOn, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and USAction (formerly Citizen Action).

Too bad this has not made it into hard news.
Obama’s ties will enable him and the radical marxist liberal agenda; free reign for years to come. We can all gripe on here all day long, until all of the Soros/Alinsky/Obama ties are dismantled they will destroy our country.
I have always said they are the rotten ACORNs in the American Oak Tree...they must be shaken out!!!
It has become very apparent that 0bama lacks the intellect to acually be formulating all the plans that he has put forth. More and more it appears that those who said Soros was calling the shots are correct.
Zeke Emanual’s (Rahm’s brother) role in Obamacare.
Presisely why 0bama lied like hell and used ACORN to get into office and immediately started this huge radical agenda. NOTICE if you type ACORN SEIU into google there is no hard news or ties reported?
George Soros information here:

Who arranged for Soros to have US citizenship, do you know?
“Do one of three things. One, go find a wailing wall and feel sorry for yourselves. Two, go psycho and start bombing — but this will only swing people to the right. Three, learn a lesson. Go home, organize, build power and at the next convention, you be the delegates.” (emphasis in original)
- Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals; p. xxiii
Saul Alinsky was the father of community organizing. Before Alinsky devised his diabolical plan to bring the international socialist revolution to America — working within the very liberal and free system upon which the U.S. was founded — he was an older fellow traveler and advisor to student radicals of the 1960s.
He would be proud today. Three of his students are in the middle of what is possibly the greatest socio-political storms in this country’s history. Wade Rathke, William Ayers, and Barack Obama, proud members of the Alinsky brotherhood.
Who is Wade Rathke?
Wade Rathke, like William Ayers, was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society. The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the student organization founded in 1960 as part of the New Left, was the gateway drug to the Weather Underground.
By 1969, their Great Society liberalism had been co-opted by Marxists, Maoists, Spartacists, and other assorted revolutionary groups. They were no longer interested in change, but overthrowing the government. It was during this time that Wade Rathke first came into contact with Bill Ayers.
The founder of ACORN, Wade Rathke, like Ayers, is a disciple of Saul Alinsky.
An article by Professor David Walls directly connects Rathke’s ACORN to Alinsky, ACORN’s mission of pressuring banks to issue risky mortgages, and the alliance between ACORN and unions:
ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, began in 1970 as a spin-off from the National Welfare Rights Organization, founded by George Wiley, who enlisted civil rights workers and trained them in an Alinsky-influenced program at Syracuse University. From a base in Arkansas, Wade Rathke and Gary Delgado developed a replicable model of forming membership organizations and developing leaders in low-income neighborhoods — relying substantially on young middle-class staff working for subsistence wages. ACORN has established local housing corporations to rehabilitate homes, and has successfully pressured banks to provide mortgages and home improvement loans in low-income communities. ACORN has led “living wage” campaigns in many cities, and has forged alliances with labor unions.
But ACORN isn’t just Alinsky-inspired. It’s a direct off-shoot of his revolutionary agenda:
Around 1970 several national networks began to coalesce and develop systematic and distinctive approaches to community organizing. These include the Industrial Areas Foundation (IAF), ACORN, Citizen Action, National People’s Action, PICO, DART, and the Gamaliel Foundation. Each was indebted, in greater or lesser degree, to Alinsky and his early organizing programs in Chicago through IAF.
Citizen Action, mentioned above, is not “officially” connected to ACORN. But Citizen Action, like Rathke’s ACORN and Ayers’ radical education projects, was founded by another member of the Alinsky-SDS milieu, Heather Booth. But it’s not just SDS and the City of Chicago that binds this group. As the screen capture below shows, Heather Booth’s husband was both a member of the SDS and Alinski’s [sic] Industrial Areas Foundation.
Of equal significance, Citizen Action reported paying Citizen Services, Inc., the shadowy ACORN group first exposed at No Quarter, over half a million dollars for campaign work. This is the Citizen Services, Inc. who has received nearly a million dollars from the Obama campaign:
(Expenditure reports also show an October 18 payment to Citizen Services (ACORN) of $590,526.10 for “Campaign consulting.” This is not enough information to determine whether this payment was also for signature gathering, which would make the per-signature cost ludicrously high, or for get-out-the-vote activities, or something else.)
According to the Associated Press, the FBI is now investigating allegations of voter fraud committed by ACORN. It should come as no surprise that ACORN is steeped in a culture of corruption, and the manipulative actions of ACORN dovetail perfectly with Alinsky’s Rules. Wade Rathke, founder of ACORN, was forced out the organization after his brother, Dale Rathke, embezzled more than $948,000 from ACORN and Wade Rathke covered it up. His brother was running one of the 294 ACORN groups which are all linked through the same address:
139. CITIZENS CONSULTING INC. 1024 ELYSIAN FIELDS AVE NEW ORLEANS, LA 70117-8402 NON-PROFIT FOREIGN CORPORATION Name Type:LEGAL Status:ACTIVE Indiana Secretary of State
The New York Times reports:
The amount Dale Rathke embezzled, $948,607.50, was carried as a loan on the books of Citizens Consulting Inc., which provides bookkeeping, accounting and other financial management services to Acorn and many of its affiliated entities.
Wade Rathke, prior to Obama’s rapid ascent, was formulating ways to converge the Alinsky Left and take control of the power of the state. This was written in January 2003. He begins his essay with the classic exhortations of a Bolshevik pamphleteer, and his words could not be any clearer:
The oldest cliché of our vast peoples’ movement over the last generation or more has got to be that there are so, so many tasks to be done, that there is a job for everyone – and that means, you, too, brothers and sisters!
~snip~
So, you sit here reading this on the fly between one job and another, home and school, heaven and hell, and you say, “hey, bullshit, no way:” every ad for an “activist” is just looking for a canvasser; all of these groups are just gangs with their own cliques – another secret handshake high school behind a storefront window; and, so, you say, what does it matter what I have to say, what I think, or whatever – I’ll just do my thing, my way, and live my life out of the mainstream
Here’s my plea – let’s build a bridge in the sky that links our worlds together, while allowing us to stay autonomous and anonymous.
NOW, LET’S MOVE ON TO WILLIAM AYERS, SHALL WE?
What more can be said about unrepentant terrorist, William Ayers, that hasn’t been said already? Strangely, he isn’t talking at all these days. Rather odd, I’d say. But, fortunately for us, he was talking in 2006:
Hmmmm…..
AND NOW FOR ALINSKY’S GOLDEN CHILD: BARACK OBAMA
“Power comes out of the barrel of a gun! is an absurd rallying cry when the other side has all the guns. Lenin was a pragmatist; when he returned to what was then Petrograd from exile, he said that the Bolsheviks stood for getting power through the ballot but would reconsider after they got the guns. Militant mouthings? Spouting quotes from Mao, Castro, and Che Guevara, which are as germane to our highly technological, computerized, cybernetic, nuclear-powered, mass media society as a stagecoach on a jet runway at Kennedy airport?” - Saul Alinsky; Rules for Radicals; p. xxi
Was Obama groomed for this destiny from birth?
Obama was raised on the mother’s milk of socialism. Both his parents were fellow travelers, who met at the height of the Cold War in a Russian language class at the University of Hawaii. Obama’s grandfather was a close friend of Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis, sending young Barry (as he was then known) to him for mentoring, despite (or in ignorance of ) Davis being a pedophile. From the time he returned from 4 years in Indonesia and rejoined his grandparents in Hawaii at the age of 10, he was taken often to be with Frank Marshall Davis.
In Obama’s book, Dreams from My Father, there is a strange revelation, perhaps intended as a signal of Davis’ stamp on Obama’s socialist creds. Obama makes this odd observation:
“The visits to his (Davis’) house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn’t fully understand.”
Dedicating the young Obama to the elder socialist mentor for the collective cause, perhaps? One hopes there were conditions protecting the ten year old from worse than indoctrination, in this “transaction.”
Obama did everything Alinsky prescribed. He went to Chicago, home of Alinsky and the place where Davis had worked for the communist revolution. Obama trained at the Industrial Areas Foundation, an Alinsky training institute. He organized in Chicago and did voter registration and training for ACORN. He went to law school. He built political alliances. He kept a tight lock on his records and his past.
As for Judeo/Christian morals. Forget it. Alinsky trained his radicals in the spirit of no-holds-barred methods. In Alinsky’s mind, the American power structure was evil to its core and justified any means necessary to change the “world as it is” into the “world as it should be.” Both Barack and Michelle Obama include these Alinsky code words in their speeches, and we should not mistake their meaning. No means are out of bounds.
Many of these radical revolutionaries have already bombed and burned. Lying, cheating and stealing are just more par for their revolutionary course.
Alinsky’s tenth rule of the ethics of means: “You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments.”
The Same Beast Clad in Moral Garments
As Peter Collier and David Horowitz so clearly described in their book, Destructive Generation, the international collective hasn’t changed its objectives. It merely changes tactics to adapt to changing times and national mood.
“Like the slowly metamorphosing monster of a horror film, the Left has actually been recreating itself during its apparent dormancy since the end of the Sixties, succeeding so well that now it has reappeared stronger than ever. If there is a cyclical dynamic at work in this rebirth, it has less to do with the laws of history than with the laws of Leftism, which since 1917 has alternated between styles of militant extremism and ‘popular front’ moderation. The current revival will not bring a revolutionary army into the streets, as in the Sixties. It will involve an offensive of ‘progressivism’ whose targets are the Democratic Party, the church, the universities, and various liberal institutions.”
- Destructive Generation; p. 218
This strategy is straight from the Alinsky handbook: “Tactics, like organization, like life, require that you move with the action.” Adapt. Adapt. Adapt. And “let nothing get you off your target.”
When one of the surviving inner circle of 60s radicals, Tom Hayden, endorsed the Obama movement last year on the Huffington Post, he signaled to the vast array of socialist political activists, not only in America, but around the world, that Barack Obama is that “One.”
“Many ordinary Americans will take a transformative step down the long road to the Rainbow Covenant if Obama wins. For at least a brief moment, people around the world — from the shantytowns to the sweatshops, even to the restless rich of the Sixties generation — will look up from the treadmills of their shrunken lives to the possibilities of what life still might be. Environmental justice and global economic hope would dawn as possibilities.”
When Barack Obama made his world tour this summer, he introduced himself in Berlin as a “fellow citizen of the world.” Americans should make no mistake; he wasn’t kidding. As Pope Benedict (writing then as Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger) also warned in his 2003 book, Truth and Tolerance, the international Marxist dream did not die with the fall of the USSR:
“The collapse of realist socialism in the East European states has not quite laid aside all such hopes, and here and there they still subsist, silently awaiting some new form.”
Even though the Soviet system fell and its Marxist “utopia” was clearly revealed as the antithesis of the promise to bring liberation and light to the world, the hope lives on and thrives within the heart of Obama and his followers, and the plan is a global one.
The Informal Alliance between Socialists and Islamic Radicals
In his 2004 book, Unholy Alliance, former 60s radical David Horowitz defines the reasons underlying the left’s rationale in dealing with the radical Islamic terrorists and their national sponsors. Leftists in the Western world, explains Horowitz, are not bothered by the religious dimension of the Islamic fundamentalists. Secular leftists rationalize this religious pathology, “believing that religion itself is merely an expression of real-world misery, for which capitalist property is ultimately responsible.”
According to Horowitz, leftists maintain an unwavering faith in universal rationality that tells them “even people who blow themselves and little children up in the expectation of a place in heaven, and seventy-two virgins besides, must ultimately be inspired by real-world grievances.”
Horowitz goes even further and defines the over-arching connection between Islamic fundamentalists and their secular socialist enablers, striking the heart of the matter for both: faith. Underlying both the goal of a worldwide Islamic caliphate and the international socialists’ dream are their “common utopian expectations.”
Horowitz explains the commonality thusly:
“The Greek scientist Archimedes said, ‘Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the world.’ This is an archetype of the radical outlook, both secular and religious, which believes it has identified an institution and an agency that will move the world. The radical Islamist believes that by conquering nations and instituting Sharia, he can redeem the world for Allah. The socialist’s faith is in using state power and violent means to eliminate private property and thereby usher in the millennium.”
Obama’s one piece of signature legislation in the Senate is the Global Poverty Act, aimed at curing what socialists deem as the root cause of all violence and war — poverty.
In this belief, Obama has high-powered company. He is joined by a cabal of international socialists, especially his biggest-moneyed backer, George Soros. Soros himself backs a global tax on wealthy countries, especially the United States. And Soros, like Obama, believes that the Global War on Terror is ill-intentioned and based on the desire of conservatives to build lasting American hegemony.
The current economic meltdown, coupled with the well-laid foundation of socialist radicals throughout this Country, now threaten to bring America closer than we’ve ever been to joining the international collective. And Barack Obama has demonstrated that he will do anything — anything — it takes to be The One to close their long-envisioned revolutionary deal.
The only remaining question is whether we voters will let him.
The END QUESTION would be:
If the people voting for Obama were told this before the election; would they have still voted for him?
George Soros bought and paid for the bias of MSM’s [NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, PBS] and controlled the internet media through Media Matters, Moveon.org, etc. that might reveal anything detrimental to Obama’s being elected as POTUS.
cling ping
Under Hillary Care it was that wonderful savior Ross Perot that was lining up to make billions of dollars, under this one it is George Soros looking for the money. Although I suspect that Ross Perot and T Boone Pickens are in the background somewhere.
(Three Whores)
That map is incredible! Fighting this octopus is going to be nearly impossible.
Especially now since most remaining non-socialist capitalists are going to be kow-towing to the Chicago thug regime in Washington. So the conservatives are not going to have any big funders to help them.
How the hell do you fight this?
This is depressing.
What Alinsky methods begets.
It is disturbing when you see the extent of what we have to deal with.
Takes an Octopus to get a Commie in the WH.
GRRRRR . . .
I think our forefathers would be outraged to see the freedom, control, flaunting
going on in our Republic by brazen traitors out to destroy it.
Mind boggling.
And even Soros
is probably several steps down the food chain from the top.
Political donations and activism
Activities in the United States
In an interview with The Washington Post on November 11, 2003,[29] Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death." He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat President Bush, "if someone guaranteed it."
Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, committed $5 million to MoveOn, while he and his friend Peter Lewis each gave America Coming Together $10 million. (All were groups that worked to support Democrats in the 2004 election.) On September 28, 2004 he dedicated more money to the campaign and kicked off his own multi-state tour with a speech: Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush[30] delivered at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. The online transcript to this speech received many hits after Dick Cheney accidentally referred to FactCheck.org as "factcheck.com" in the Vice Presidential debate, causing the owner of that domain to redirect all traffic to Soros's site.[31]
Soros was not a large donor to US political causes until the U.S. presidential election, 2004, but according to the Center for Responsive Politics, during the 2003-2004 election cycle, Soros donated $23,581,000 to various 527 groups dedicated to defeating President Bush. (A 527 group is a type of American tax-exempt organization named after a section of the United States tax code, 26 U.S.C. § 527. A 527 group is created primarily to influence the nomination, election, appointment or defeat of candidates for public office.) Despite Soros' efforts, Bush was reelected to a second term as president in U.S. presidential election, 2004.
After Bush's reelection in 2004, Soros and other wealthy liberal political donors backed a new political fundraising group called Democracy Alliance which aims to support the goals of the U.S. Democratic Party.[32]
Soros supported the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which was intended to end "soft money" contributions to federal election campaigns[citation needed]. Soros has made soft money donations to 527 organizations that he says do not raise the same corruption issues as donations directly to the candidates or political parties.
