Black Lives Matter Founder
Mentored by Ex-Domestic Terrorist Who Worked with Bill Ayers
CNN
The co-founder of the Black
Lives Matter (BLM) movement, Patrisse Cullors, was the protégé of a
communist-supporting domestic terrorist for over a decade, spending years
training in political organizing and absorbing the radical Marxist-Leninist
ideology which shaped her worldview.
Eric Mann, who mentored Cullors for over a decade in community
organizing, was a member of radical-left
militant groups: Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground,
which bombed government buildings and
police stations in the 1960s and 1970s.
In a newly resurfaced video from 2015, Black Lives
Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors reveals that she and her fellow BLM founders
are “trained Marxists.”
In the video, Cullors is interviewed by Jared Ball of the Real
News Network and discusses the direction of the BLM movement.
“The first thing, I think, is
that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular
are trained organizers,” she said. “We are trained Marxists. We are
super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories. And I think that what we really
tried to do is build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black
folk.”
In previous interviews in 2018,
while promoting her then-new book titled, “When They Call You a Terrorist: A
Black Lives Matter Memoir,” Cullors describes her introduction to and affinity
for Marxist ideology.
In an interview with Democracy Now!,
Cullors describes how she became a trained organizer with the Labor/Community
Strategy Center, calling it her “first political home” and the center’s
director, Eric Mann, her personal mentor.
She told The Politic that it was
there that she was trained from her youth and grew as a leader.
The Labor/Community Strategy Center describes it’s philosophy as “an
urban experiment,” utilizing grassroots organizing to “focus on Black and
Latino communities with deep historical ties to the long history of
anti-colonial, anti-imperialist, pro-communist resistance to the U.S. empire.”
The center teaches and studies the history
of the “Indigenous rebellions against the initial European genocidal
invasions,” the “Great Slave Haitian Revolution of the 1790s,” and the “Great
Slave Rebellions that won the U.S. civil war for the racist north.”
The center also expresses its
appreciation for the work of the U.S. Communist Party, “especially Black
communists,” as well as its support for “the great work of the Black Panther
Party, the American Indian Movement, Young Lords, Brown Berets, and the great
revolutionary rainbow experiments of the 1970s,” while flaunting its roots in
the new communist movement.
Speaking with ACLU’s At Liberty weekly podcast, Cullors described the center
as her “foundation,” claiming it was there that she developed the skills which
helped her found the Black Lives Matter movement, after having been recruited
by its director, Eric Mann.
Mann, an avowed communist revolutionary, was the New
England coordinator for Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS) in 1968. The following year, a more radical wing
splintered from the SDS, led by Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, calling for
violent “direct action” over civil disobedience.
The splintered faction became known as the Weather Underground,
with the stated goal of overthrowing the U.S. government. As a result, the
FBI classified the organization as a
domestic terrorist group in 1969.
Mann led a group of fellow
Weathermen who launched their own violent direct action at the Harvard
University Center for International Affairs.
In an article titled: “Band Invades, Violently Disrupts Center
for International Affairs,” the Harvard Crimson reported that a band of 20 to 30
activists invaded the Center for International Affairs, “roughing up” several
staff members and employees before fleeing.
Several slogans, including
“Pig,” “Fuck U.S. Imperialism,” and “Imperialists Screw All Women,” were
sprayed on the building’s walls. Rocks thrown by the group broke several
windows and a telephone was damaged to prevent police from being notified.
Undergraduates who saw the
group leaving the building and chanting “Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh; NLF is going to
win,” said they recognized some of them as members of Weathermen, a militant
spin-off of the older New Left Caucus of SDS.
Mann was later charged with five counts of
assault and battery, disturbing the peace, damaging property, defacing a
building, and disturbing a public assembly, for which he spent 18 months in
prison.
At the 2010 United States Social Forum in Detroit, under the
slogan “Another World Is Possible. Another U.S. Is Necessary,” the
Labor/Community Strategy Center sponsored a session titled: “Transformative Organizing
Theory: Conscious Organizers Seek to Build Anti-racist, Anti-imperialist
Politics Rooted in Working Class Communities of Color.” In it, Cullors––rising
to prominence––was chosen by Mann to be a panelist along with him.
There, Cullors spoke about growing up as a
working class, queer, Black woman, in a single-parent household, with a father
who was in and out of prison.
Cullors stated that
“positionality in this country is supposed to devastate us” and had done so
somewhat successfully, while stressing the need to “fight this thing.”
Both Cullors and Mann strongly endorsed Bernie Sanders. Cullors
was a primary speaker at a Sanders campaign
event the day before Super Tuesday, which Mann attended.
Cullors, viewing Biden as far too moderate, pushed for the latter to end his
campaign, accusing him of having an “old guard mentality” and coming from an “old
establishment.”
Now with Biden leading as the
Democratic presidential nominee, Cullors and Mann are finding a sympathetic ear
for their radical agenda.
As Breitbart news reported, a group of 50 leading
national progressive groups representing millions of active members across the
country, are pressuring Biden to adopt the
radical platform of the Movement for Black Lives which was co-written by BLM.
The group is calling for Biden
to immediately incorporate their radical policies, including putting forward a
transformative and comprehensive policing and criminal justice reform laid out
by the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).
Citing his “moral
responsibility in this moment” to make amends for past harms he had caused, the
groups demanded that Biden make commitments such as advance reparations and
defund police, prisons, and weaponry in order to fully fund healthcare,
housing, education, and environmental justice.
“We ask that you revise your platform to ensure that the federal
government permanently ends and ceases any further appropriation of funding to
local law enforcement in any form and redirect those and additional resources
towards much needed community-led and community-controlled public safety
efforts,” the letter reads.
There is Nothing
‘Loony’ About Bill Ayers as Obama’s Muse
This past week several people called my attention to a post by Scott Johnson on his influential PowerLine blog that
addressed the literary relationship between Barack Obama and his radical
friend, Bill Ayers.
In the post Johnson spoke of his high regard for David
Garrow’s “staggeringly researched” 2017 Obama biography, Rising Star. “Without
resolving all mysteries,” Johnson writes, “[Garrow’s] scholarship belies the
notion that [Dreams from My Father] was ghostwritten by Bill Ayers or
other such collaborator.”
Johnson emailed Garrow to follow up on the authorship
question, and Garrow responded, “I don’t recall exactly where the Bill Ayers
[stuff] got started, but it, like the Frank-Davis-as-father notion, is just
beyond loony, ’cause Dreams is already *in galleys* when
Barack and Bill first get to know each other.”
I do know
where the Ayers stuff got started because I started it with a major assist
from American Thinker on these pages on October 9, 2008. I never said Ayers wrote Dreams,
but I presented overwhelming literary forensic evidence that Ayers, a skilled
writer and editor, helped Obama shape Dreams.
I did not advance this theory casually. I understood then
what Obama biographer David Remnick would later affirm, namely that my theory,
“if ever proved true, or believed to be true among enough voters, could have
been the end of [Obama’s] candidacy.”
My research on this topic, aided by several helpful literary
detectives, culminated in my 2011 book, published by Simon &
Schuster, Deconstructing Obama. I think I can safely assume
Garrow has never read it. I would invite those curious about the evidence to
read the book or even to read the preliminary article cited above.
That Garrow does not know the source of a theory he dismisses
offhand as “beyond loony” is, unfortunately, altogether typical of
establishment political writers. His airy dismissal, in fact,
reinforces the theme of my forthcoming book Unmasking Obama: The Fight
to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency.
In the book, I use the phrase “samizdat” -- Russian for
underground press -- to describe the loose coalition of conservative blogs,
online publications, talk radio shows, and legal monitors such as Judicial
Watch that challenged the Left -- and, occasionally, the “responsible” right --
for control of the Obama narrative.
For eight-plus years, the samizdat broke virtually every
major unflattering story about Obama and his presidency, some of which the
major media grudgingly confirmed, some of which they continue to suppress. In
the book I tell how the individuals in question managed to break these stories
out. In every case, as you might imagine, the samizdat journalists were met
with condescension, if not outright contempt, from the major media.
Obama’s biographers were among the more contemptuous.
Curiously, the four major biographers are all named David -- Mendell, Remnick,
Maraniss, and Garrow. The last three are Pulitzer Prize winners. To his credit,
Garrow was the only one of the four who refused to prop up what Remnick called
Obama’s “signature appeal: the use of the details of his own life as a
reflection of a kind of multicultural ideal.”
The story Obama told about his happy multicultural family at
the conventions was pure fiction. According to Garrow, Obama’s mother, Ann
Dunham, and Barack Obama Sr. “never chose to live together at any time
following the onset of Ann’s pregnancy.” Garrow quotes approvingly one
unnamed scholar to the effect that Obama Sr. was no more than “a sperm donor in
his son’s life.” All of this was common knowledge in the samizdat as
early as 2008, but it came as news to many of Garrow’s readers in 2017.
Like his fellow Davids, however, Garrow has no use for
information gleaned from the samizdat, especially information I introduced. On
the subject of the Obama poem “Pop,” for instance, Garrow notes, “Most
commentators presumed that Obama had written about his grandfather, Stan
Dunham, not Frank Marshall Davis.”
This much was true, but “hostile critics,” Garrow continues,
insisted the poem was about Obama’s bi-sexual Communist mentor, Davis. The
“hostile critics” Garrow cites in the footnotes are historian Paul Kengor and
me.
Instead of giving me credit for being the first to decode
“Pop,” Garrow describes me in the footnote as “someone who is cited with the
greatest reluctance.” What I did to deserve this slight is left unsaid,
especially since Garrow knows I nailed the identity of “Pop” two years before
anyone in the mainstream media did, including the other Davids.
As to Bill Ayers’s involvement in the writing of Dreams,
Garrow does not even deign to dismiss the possibility. He has a discovery of
his own, namely that outside literary help came from a law school buddy of
Obama’s named Rob Fisher. This is an important find if for no other
reason than it undercuts Obama’s 2008 boast to a crowd of schoolteachers,
"I've written two books. I actually wrote them myself."
An established economist before starting law school, Fisher
became good friends with Obama at Harvard. There, they co-authored a
manuscript that perhaps prophetically was never finished. One completed chapter
dealt with the always sexy topic of plant closings.
“The quest is to develop guidelines,” they wrote, “on how
politically progressive movements can use the market mechanism to promote
social goals.” Garrow quotes the unfinished manuscript extensively. Its style
is wonkish and ungainly throughout.
Sentences like the following suggest that one author wrote as
awkwardly as the other: “While Yuppies can afford the expensive frivolities
provided by The Sharper Image, others receive insufficient nutrition to allow
their minds to develop properly.”
I do not question Fisher’s involvement. Obama needed all the
help he could get. What I do question is Fisher’s ability to provide the
poetry, the rage, the postmodern rhetoric, and the Homeric structure that
inspired Oona King of the London Times to overpraise Dreams as “a
beautifully written personal memoir steeped in honesty.”
Garrow seems to dismiss my thesis for no more substantial
reason than his belief that Dreams was already in galley form
when “Barack and Bill first get to know each other.” Garrow traces the first
meeting of these two gentlemen to a breakfast some time in early 1995. He bases
this timing on the suspiciously well-remembered account of a common friend who
claims to have introduced them.
Garrow, however, has a problem with chronology. He writes
that Obama took six weeks off from his law firm job “in late spring 1994” to
finish Dreams. He needed time to complete the book’s third section,
the one on Africa. Garrow claims Obama worked largely from letters he sent in
1988 while in Kenya and retrieved from his girlfriend at the time, Sheila
Jager.
David Maraniss told a different story in his 2012 bio.
According to Maraniss’s source, Crown editor Henry Ferris, Obama made an
additional trip to Kenya for further research. Obama confirmed this trip when
interviewed by Marannis. Garrow makes no mention of this mysterious trip, which
would have taken place in 1994. No one else does either. Like much in his life,
Obama appears to have made it up.
A more likely possibility is that Obama lied to Ferris about
the trip. Instead of going to Kenya, Obama may have contented himself with
going to the local library and pillaging the memoirs of longtime
Kenya resident Kuki Gallmann.
This is the theory proposed by
tireless researcher Shawn Glasco. He was intrigued by the many words and
phrases in Dreams that also appeared in Gallmann’s book, African
Nights, which was published in 1994. These include Baobab [a tree], bhang
[cannabis], boma [an enclosure], samosa [a fried snack], shamba [a farm field],
liana [a vine], tilapia [a fish], kanga [a sheet of fabric], shuka [decorative
sashes], and many, many more.
Based on Garrow’s imprecise timeline, Obama flew to New York
to hand the completed book off to Ferris no later than early June 1994. In
other words, he spent six weeks to finish the last third of the 400-page book
between “late spring” 1994 and early June 1994, which is, in fact, late spring.
In his 2009 book, Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an
American Marriage, celebrity biographer Christopher Andersen offers a much
more credible account of how Obama managed to finish a project that hung over
his head ever since he finished law school.
According to Andersen’s two sources in Chicago’s Hyde Park,
Obama found himself deeply in debt and “hopelessly blocked.” At “Michelle’s
urging,” Obama “sought advice from his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill
Ayers.” Noting that Obama had already taped interviews with many of his
relatives, both African and American, Andersen elaborated, “These oral
histories, along with his partial manuscript and a trunkload of notes were
given to Ayers.” Andersen’s six-page account makes sense, logically and
chronologically, but Garrow fully ignores it.
Andersen is a best-selling, mainstream author. He even
appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball to discuss the book. Said Chris
Matthews at the end of the interview, “You‘re amazing, successful guy. You
have a winning streak here.” Matthews likely did not read the book. Garrow did
read it and cites the book in the footnotes but, oddly, not on the subject of
authorship.
Garrow nonetheless offers some valuable insights into the
Ayers-Obama relationship, insights that I believe strengthen my thesis. Once
Ayers helped launch Obama’s political career in 1995, Garrow writes, “Barack
and Michelle began to see a great deal more of not only Bill and Bernardine
[Dohrn] but also their three closest friends, Rashid and Mona Khalidi and
Carole Travis."
According to Garrow, the three couples attended "almost
nightly dinners” together up until the time Obama ran for the U.S. Senate in
2004. This information, of course, makes complete hash out of Obama’s infamous
claim during a 2008 debate that Ayers was “just a guy who lives in my
neighborhood.”
Khalidi, a radical Palestinian, begins his 2004 book, Resurrecting
Empire, with a tribute to his own literary muse. “First,
chronologically and in other ways,” writes Khalidi, “comes Bill Ayers.” Unlike
the calculating Obama, Khalidi had no reason to be coy about this
relationship. He elaborates, “Bill was particularly generous in letting
me use his family’s dining room table to do some writing for the
project.” Khalidi did not need the table. He had one of his own. He
needed help from the skilled neighborhood editor and writer who obviously could
and would provide it.
There is nothing “loony” about Bill Ayers helping a good
friend finish his book. That is what Ayers did. He was grooming Obama for
higher office and was savvy enough to keep his writing relationship with Obama
under wraps. Being a friend of a terrorist, Ayers knew, would not exactly help
Obama’s career.

Obama's General Flynn Problem
When the real message of
'Dreams from My Father' becomes clear.
May 11, 2020
Lloyd Billingsley
And the fact that there is no
precedent that anybody can find for someone who has been charged with perjury
just getting off scot-free. That’s the kind of stuff where you begin to get
worried that basic — not just institutional norms — but our basic understanding
of rule of law is at risk.
That was former president Barack Obama last
week after the DOJ dropped the case against former National Security Advisor Michael
Flynn, who had not been “charged with perjury,” or anything else. The FBI set
up Flynn in a perjury trap, with threats against his family, and that violated
both institutional norms and the rule of law. The 44th president set up the
whole thing in a January 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting with FBI boss James Comey,
vice president Joe Biden, CIA boss John Brennan, and other administration
officials. This revelation created a stir, but it’s really old news.
“POTUS wants to know everything we are doing,” Lisa Page texted to Peter Strzok, the FBI factotum in the
campaign against candidate and President Trump. To keep that operation going
once Trump took office, POTUS needed to take down Flynn. The January 5 meeting
was key but in May of 2017 a bigger bombshell would explode.
'Dreams from My Father' was not a memoir or an autobiography; it was instead, in
multitudinous ways, without any question a work of historical fiction. It featured
many true-to-life figures and a bevy of accurately described events that indeed
had occurred, but it employed the techniques and literary license of a novel,
and its most important composite character was the narrator himself.
This was the judgement of POTUS
44’s official biographer David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize winner and acclaimed
author of Bearing the
Cross, The
FBI and Martin Luther King, Jr. and other books. Garrow let his
subject preview the manuscript of Rising
Star: The Making of Barack Obama and it’s easy to see why the
president maintained strong disagreements with the account.
Dreams from My Father was a novel, and Garrow was on to the composite
authorship. On page 1049 of Rising
Star, an unidentified reporter explains, “The whole Obama narrative
is built around this narrative that Obama and David Axelrod built, and, like
all stories, it’s not entirely true.” The president’s official biographer also
explained why the former Barry Soetoro needed a new narrative.
Dreams from My Father devotes more than 2,000 words to “Frank,” a happy-drunk poet
and counselor. In Rising
Star, Garrow correctly identified “Frank” as Frank Marshall Davis,
an African American Communist who spent most of his life defending all-white
Stalinist dictatorships. As Garrow explained, “Davis’ Communist background plus
his kinky exploits made him politically radioactive,” so if Barry was to become
a political player, Frank had to go.
In the best Stalinist
tradition, Frank disappeared from the audio version of Dreams, and did not
appear in the 2006 The
Audacity of Hope. In similar style, Frank does not appear
in The World As It
Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House, released in 2018 by
Iran deal promoter Ben Rhodes, or in Michelle Obama’s 2018 Becoming. Also missing
in both books is David Garrow’s Rising
Star: The Making of Barack Obama. The author, doubtless under
pressure from the former president, is now changing his tune.
There is “no precedent” for a
composite character with a bogus autobiography becoming president of the United
States, yet it happened in 2008, and again in 2012. There was no precedent for
an outgoing president to deploy deep state operators to support his chosen
successor and attack her opponent, yet in 2016 the composite character did just
that.
In similar style, there was no
precedent for an outgoing president tasking the FBI to target a National
Security Advisor with a perjury trap to destroy his life and reputation. In
2017, the composite character sprung that trap, and in 2020 he tricks it out
with the lie that Flynn was charged with perjury. And if you like your plan,
you can keep it.
What the FBI did to Flynn was a
violation of institutional norms and the rule of law, but as Sebastian Gorka noted on
Saturday, “as of this writing, not one person has been charged with any crime
connected to the FBI’s use of its enormous power for political purposes. Not
one. Not Comey, not Strzok, not McCabe, not Lynch. No one.” So maybe the
composite character’s transformation of America is the new normal going
forward.
Back in 2016, his chosen
successor was former First Lady Hillary Clinton. In 2020, he endorses his
former vice president Joe Biden, so one might say the composite character is
still on the ballot.
As November 3 approaches, look
for more lies and obfuscation from the former president whose own biographer
proclaimed him a composite character in the historical fiction of Dreams from My Father.
As President Trump says, we’ll have to see what happens.

A Call for Kristallnacht Against Christians
Murals and stained glass windows of Jesus are a “gross form of
white supremacy” and “should all come down,” says non-black leftist Shaun King.
June 24, 2020
Lloyd
Billingsley
“All murals and stained glass
windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should
also come down. They are a gross form of white supremacy. Created as tools of
oppression. Racist propaganda. They should all come down.”
“Yes I think the statues of the
white European they claim is Jesus should also come down. They are a form of
white supremacy. Always have been,” King tweeted. “In the Bible, when the
family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went? EGYPT! Not
Demark. Tear them down.”
The casual reader might wonder
about this man Shaun King, so eager for a Christian Kristallnacht. As Fox
News noted, King was “a surrogate for Sen. Bernie Sanders,” and introduced the
Vermont socialist at a rally for his presidential bid. Bernie Sanders is big
fan of Denmark, so King’s anti-Jesus tweets may be a form of socialist
distancing. For their part, other groups on the left have been distancing
themselves from Shaun King.
“King was once a leading voice
in the Black Lives Matter movement,” according to Fox News, “but fell from
grace when his race was questioned and he was accused of being a Caucasian
falsely portraying himself as black.” In the 2015 “The Shaun King Controversy Explained,” German Lopez delved into the back story.
Shaun King had “been told” that
his actual father was a light-skinned black man. Lopez found that official
sources in Kentucky listed the father as Jeffery Wayne King, like his mother
“also white.” A family member also told CNN that King’s parents were both
white, but King claimed he didn’t lie about using his race to obtain an Oprah
Scholarship to historically black Morehouse College.
Lopez claims that race “may not
be biologically real,” but it’s clear that Shaun King, 40, is a genuine fake.
Aside from the racial issue, the former “senior justice writer” for the New York Daily News has been
criticized as self-promoter, narcissist and
incompetent activist. King’s anti-Jesus hatred is likely an effort to recover
credibility with Black Lives Matter. On the other hand, it recalls a central
reality of the left.
Marxist-Leninist
revolutionaries have always hated Christianity because it elevates truth and
offers a moral authority beyond politics. In America, black leftist radicals
continued the tradition. As University of Pennsylvania professor Thomas J. Sugrue notes, black-power radicals derided the Rev. Martin Luther King, a
Christian minister, as “de Lawd” and branded him as “hopelessly bourgeois, a
detriment rather than a positive force in the black freedom struggle.”
In the novel Dreams from My Father,
so proclaimed by the “composite character” author’s own biographer David
Garrow, young Barry’s strongest influence is “Frank.” Frank is the African
American Communist Frank Marshall Davis, a lifelong supporter of all-white
Soviet dictatorships. When it comes to reading, Barry tries James Baldwin,
Ralph Ellison, and such but “only Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer
something different.”
In a supposedly “white
supremacist” United States, the son of an African American father and white
mother became president of the United States, the most powerful person in the
world. That president brought Black Lives Matter bosses to the White House and
the ex-president recently expressed the hope that his vanguard of protesters
would “seize the moment.” As he
knows, the current surge of violence has nothing to do with George Floyd and
everything to do with taking power by force.
Any campaign against murals and
stained glass windows would be a prelude to the targeting of churches,
ministers, and Christians. In similar style, the axis of Black Lives Matter,
Antifa, and prominent Democrats aims to remove President Trump from office, but
the strategic target is the United States itself. For this crowd, the ultimate
statue for takedown is Lady Liberty herself, and radical Muslims are taking the
lead.
“The Islamic State militant
group (ISIS) planned to attack the Statue of Liberty in New York City with
pressure cooker bombs,” Newsweek reported in January of 2018, “the Statue of Liberty has a very weak
point in its lower back,” noted Munther Omar Saleh, 21, “if I can get a few
pressure cooker bombs to hit the weak point, I think it will fall face down.”
The FBI busted Saleh and fellow bomber Fareed Mumuni, 22, who were aided
by Australian jihadi Neil Prakash and an English supporter of ISIS.
Islamic militants and the
American left are united in their hated of Christians and Jews. As Daniel Greenfield notes, a Farrakhan
supporter played a leading role in violence that targeted Fairfax, the oldest
Jewish community in Los Angeles. For Melina Abdullah of Black Lives Matter,
these were people “who think that they can just retreat to white affluence.”
Shaun King follows suit with a
call for a Kristallnacht against
Christians.
