The Obama File |
The Movement On July 2nd, 2008, Obama spoke in Colorado Springs and hit themes of national service, foreign policy, and national security. In that vein, Obama proposed a rather extraordinary idea -- that the US should spend as much money on a civilian national security force as it does on the military. (video) "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Well, I have a flash for you, since 1993, he's been organizing the cadre of his personal, civilian national security force -- his "shadow army" -- at fifteen fully-staffed and populated indoctrination centers.
Public Allies, modeled after Alinsky's "people’s organizations," is operating under the watchful eye of Michelle Obama and it has a ton of money -- more than $75 million per year -- and an impressive list of donors. Naturally, it also receives grants from federal, state and municipal sources. Its mission has been, and is, to produce "community organizers" -- baby Obamas -- and its process is replicable and repeatable -- continually producing more apparatchiks in "the community," where these people are perceived of as leaders. They answer to only one person -- Obama.
During the campaign, Obama also ran, at the state
level, a "national program for social change,"
called "Camp
Obama" --
here is their
sign-up page
-- you too can be a "Deputy Field Organizer."
These
community organizers have constituencies that can be mobilized, at the
touch of a button, into political actions -- mobs in the streets -- to
influence public opinion and the political process -- real visual stuff
that Obama's water-carriers in the media will broadcast 24/7.
This Svengali recently released this video, in which he calls for MORE "volunteers" to help him "change America" -- and he makes it sound like a noble cause. In the video, at the end, he even places "The Movement" before "our country" -- the United States of America."
Never before has such a massive, organized political action force -- independent from the federal government --existed. Obama sardonically calls it, "Organizing for America."
I just wonder if members of "The Movement," whose primary allegiance is to Obama, will have special uniforms? If so, what color will their shirts be? |
