Obama Connection to Terrorists Revealed by Talk Show Host
By Jim Kouri
NEW MEDIA ALLIANCE
Saturday, March 22, 2008
There is a far-reaching scandal brewing for presidential
hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, thanks to a radio talk show host
based in Oregon. Syndicated talk host Laurie Roth's
revelations make the news story about Obama's relationship
with a racist, anti-American pastor look like child's play.
A top official at the Pentagon during former-President
George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA
intelligence officer maintain that Barack Obama and former
Weather Underground honcho William Ayers funneled money to
Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer.
Khalidi serves on the faculty of Columbia University in New
York and is best known as the professor who invited Iranian
President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University after he
finished his speech at the United Nations. According to
confidential sources, Khalidi has direct ties to the
Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a group on the
US State Department's list of known terrorist groups.
"One source for this information was once a top military
figure in the 1990s. He doesn't take making allegations
lightly. If he says something happened, believe me, it
happened," said syndicated radio talk show host Laurie Roth
( http://www.therothshow.com/ )
"Another source is a former agent for the Central
Intelligence Agency, who is an expert in counterterrorism,"
said Roth, who broke the story on her show Friday night.
"I certainly don't want to demonize someone because they
are a woman, black or liberal running for President. I love
the idea that in our culture, a black and woman can now
run. However, it does matter to me with any candidate,
their consistency with good judgment, their voting record,
their association with people with questionable backgrounds
and commitment to our country," she said during her show.
Here are the connections as described by very reliable
sources, who possess impressive military, national security
and intelligence backgrounds:
Allison Davis, who hired the young Obama into his small,
Chicago law firm Davis, Miner, and Barnhill in 1993, left
the firm in late 1999-2000 and became a housing developer.
Davis went into business with Tony Rezko, the indicted
businessman who's scheduled to go on trial for corruption
in Illinois, and who was a major fundraiser for Obama.
Davis met Rezko when he was a client of Davis, Miner, and
Barnhill. Rezko is currently under indictment in Illinois
for demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state
government business contracts under Governor Blagojevich.
Obama was identified as one of the politicians cited in the
indictment as having received political contributions from
Rezko out of his kickback funds.
Tony Rezko hosted fundraising events for Obama in his home
and was on Obama's US Senate campaign finance committee
which collected $14 million for his campaign against
conservative Alan Keyes, an African-American who served as
an Ambassador during the Reagan Administration. In order to
avoid a scandal during his presidential campaign, Obama
returned $85,000 that Rezko and his family had donated to
him.
In early 2000, while Obama served as a state senator in
Illinois, he also sat on the board of the nonprofit Woods
Fund. The Woods Fund is a Chicago-based foundation that
claims its primary mission is to make financial grants in
order to increase and/or create opportunities for
disadvantaged people and low-income communities.
The chairman of the Woods fund board in 2000 was Howard
Stanback, who like Obama also had connections to Davis,
according to the reliable sources.
Davis submitted a grant request to the Woods Foundation for
a $1 million investment in his development partnership,
Neighborhood Rejuvenation LP, that would be used to finance
low-income senior-citizen housing. Under normal
circumstances, a board member is supposed to recuse himself
or herself from decisions where they have a business or
personal relationship.
Obama, who did not recuse himself, voted to approve Davis'
grant request. Stanback, on the other hand, abstained from
voting. The housing project, which also received a $5.7
million loan from the city of Chicago, in turn donated
almost $70,000 in political contributions to Obama's
presidential campaign.
In the past, Rezko gave Obama -- who served as an Illinois
State Senator -- his first two political contributions in
1995, $1,000 each from two of his companies. In 1998, State
Senator Obama wrote letters to city and state officials
urging them to fund a Davis-Rezko housing project. It was
an obvious quid pro quo arrangement.
Another major fundraiser for Obama is William Ayers, who
also sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Obama and is a
professor at the University of Chicago.
Bill Ayers, along with his wife Bernadine Dohrn, was an
active member of the Weather Underground, a radical left-
wing group that advocated violence against the United
State. Both Ayers and Dohrn went "underground" in 1970
after others in the group accidentally detonated a bomb in
a Greenwich Village (New York City) townhouse. The blast
killed three of the group's members including Ayers'
girlfriend at the time.
While Ayers and Dohrn were hiding from law enforcement, the
Weather Underground participated in the bombings of the US
Capital, the Pentagon and a State Department building. In
1981 Ayers and Dohrn turned themselves in to federal
authorities, but all charges were dropped as a result of
alleged "government legal misconduct." In his 2001 memoir,
Ayers wrote, "I don't regret setting the bombs. I feel we
didn't do enough."
Ayers and Dohrn are known to have held at least one
fundraiser for Barack Obama in their Chicago home.
During Obama's last year on the board of The Woods Fund
(2002), he participated in awarding grants, including a
$70,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, a
Chicago-based group founded by Rashid and Mona Khalidi.
In another suspected quid pro quo arrangement similar to
those with Ayers and Rezko, Rashid Khalidi also held a
fundraising event in his home for Barack Obama.
In the Middle East, Rashid Khalidi was known as a man to be
reckoned with. From 1972 through 1983, Khalidi was the
director in Beirut of the official Palestinian press
agency, FAFA. His wife worked there as well.
According to sources, when the Khalidi's left Chicago for
Columbia University in New York, Rashid was honored with
the Edward Said Chair in Arab Studies at that Ivy League
university. Their goodbye party in Chicago included
testimonials from Bill Ayers and Barack Obama.
"What other fund raising connections does Obama have? How
many times can you look the other way in church and with
fund raising situations with more than questionable
people?" asked Ms. Roth.
"We all make mistakes in judgment with people and their
backgrounds sometimes, but usually we learn and pick better
friends and associates. How come Obama seems to have
continued hanging around more than questionable characters
with anti American backgrounds and some with criminal
behaviors? Now one is being indicted, Tony Rezco, who
raised a ton of money for Obama," she said.
"As President, how much would he look the other way when
dealing with national security and dangers to our country?
How much would he listen passively to terrorist leaders
then lecture us on our ugly American status? This kind of
change is not what our country needs!" added the popular
talk show host, whose show is syndicated by USA Radio
Network ( http://www.usaradio.com/roth_show.php )
In a related story, during an interview on Thursday morning
(March 20) with Black Panther leader Malik Zulu Shabazz,
Fox News Channel viewers learned that Shabazz' group
endorsed and supported Senator Barack Obama for President
of the United States. Even on Fox -- an organization wrongly
accused of being "conservative" -- the interviewers were
careful in their questioning of Shabazz, a recognized
racist and anti-American radical.
The New Black Panther Party leader proudly announced on Fox
News that his organization endorsed and Obama for
President.
"While some people may say that Barack Obama has no control
over who endorses him, he should have control over what
endorsements are posted on his websites," said Laurie Roth,
who, besides hosting a popular talk show, is a regular
columnist for NewswithViews.com
"The endorsement of the New Black Panther Party was posted
on Barack Obama's website. Why was this tolerated unless
Barack Obama wanted their endorsement? If he does not want
their endorsement, how much control over his staff is he
going to have once he's elected President?" asks Mike
Baker.
The New Black Panther Party is openly anti-White, anti-
Jewish, and anti-America. After Obama's Tuesday damage-
control speech, his campaign pulled the Black Panthers'
endorsement story off their website.
It's also been reported that Obama's campaign staff was
allowed to fly a Che Guevara flag inside his office,
according to NewsMax
( www.newsmax.com/fontova/obama_campaign/2008/02/14/72655.html )
"Do these revelations demonstrate a pattern of Barack
Obama's judgment? If so, then I do not want him dealing
with world leaders. I do not want these groups having
access to the White House. Do you?" asks the New Jersey-
based political strategist.
"It appears the Barack Obama water carriers within the
mainstream news media are on the job as usual -- ignoring
another story that has the alternative media on the
Internet buzzing: Obama's embracement of an endorsement by
the radical, racist organization," Baker added.
