The Manchurian President

I have just got Manchurian President and took it with me for some weekend reading. This book is absolutely eye-opening and frankly terrifying. I've had to read this in small doses, close it up, and say, "Oh, my God!" It's a very well documented book (I don't think I've ever seen so many end notes in anything I've ever read).

When you start connecting all the dots between various organizations that appear to be on the surface just a "few nut cases with a cause," their boards of directors, the unions, ACORN, SEIU, and many more - it's absolutely mind blowing. They're all interconnected and Obama is smack dab in the middle of the whole damned thing and has been for years and years.

It goes into so many things - I do want to check one thing out about John Paulson (of Goldman Sachs fame) - just out of curiosity. The "financial crisis" that came down at the end of Bush's presidency it seems was actually a manufactured crisis that have our financial institutions pretty much in the shit can.

Obama's administration is packed (no surprise) with Communists, Socialists and other extreme radicals. Valarie Jarrett, Axelrod, Podesta, pretty much all the Czars - avowed Communists. The book goes into detail about some of the real high up people, their backgrounds, their political affiliations, etc. Their various "causes" are absolutely frightening - if you're smart enough you'll know that abortions have nothing to do with women's rights - but women were sold a bill of goods under the guise of women's rights. We're talking about "green abortions" - mandatory abortions to keep down the gasses being poured into the environment via every breath we take: less people, less pollution. Sterilizations particularly of people who are on welfare - and who are they? Majority blacks and more recently Hispanics: "Thanks for your votes, idiots. You got us in power and your payback is sterilization."

Then there's the bit about the government owning our bodies (there are no individual rights) so your body parts can be harvested with or without your consent, dead or alive.

I'm not even through reading the book. It just goes on and on about all these various societal things that must be done in the best interest of the people - including the government assigning what your job will be. It's like the USSR all over again. It's a MUST READ book.

All books of this sort read like gospel truth, even the damaging ones about George Bush and the Bush Family's ties to the Saudis and bin Laden. You come away having a genuine OMG cold sweat. Until you realize that there is very little sourced material used to rely upon, and that most of the narrative comes from supposition and guesswork.

I may buy it just to see how well sourced (footnoted) it is.

I do know there's a lot in the book about Obama's ties to Bill Ayers, but I've always wondered why, if Ayers is supposed to have had such an influence on him (Ayers being anti-war and even saying he would "do it all again") that Obama has chosen to escalate the war in Afghanistan. One would think that if Ayers had such clout, Obama would have pulled out from Afghanistan and Iraq immediately. (That's the kind of incorrect assumption which is not based on reality that I always look for in this kind of book.)

It's well documented. Some of the materials that are cited come directly from writings, papers, public records and/or books written by a particular person that set forth in his/her own words what their goals are and how they think these goals should be implemented via government mandate.

While that may be true, I'm also guessing there are a LOT of passages taken out of context and when read standing alone can be damaging, but when read as a whole are not. There is a litany of such excerpts from Obama's first two books that still float around the Internet. Again, I'm not saying there isn't truth to a lot of what might be in The Manchurian President; I just think people need to realize they are reading a heavily biased account--just as the heavily biased books (and articles) about GWB--and OF COURSE the intent is to sway readers to believe it is all truth.
 
I don't work for Fox News. I don't have to be fair and balanced. And I certainly don't feel any love and hugs for Barack Obama.
