Guest Post: Was Obama Chosen by the Russians Years Ago to be U.S. President?

Obama's mentor, card-carrying Commie activist,
Frank Marshall Davis
The thesis of this guest post is that Barack Obama was groomed to be president by the Communists beginning decades ago. That he came out of nowhere with no record in a meteoric rise to the White House is a fact.That Obama was a "red diaper baby" is common knowledge.  He describes his family's commitment to Communism and his own grooming by mentor Frank Marshall Davis in his 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, which Bill Ayers, Weather Underground terrorist, claims he wrote. Obama had accomplished absolutely NOTHING up to that point in his life, but the book became a best seller and part of the man's myth, a myth based on lies

Communists are notorious for taking the long view and preparing decades ahead of time to implement their schemes. In her book, School of Darkness, Bella Dodd described how she put thousands of men into Catholic seminaries when she was an upper level Communist operative back in the mid 20th century, a claim that seems all too believable considering the state of the Church today. Was the party any less active in the political sphere? Of course not. Read Witness.

And so we offer the opinion article below. Was Obama groomed to help Communism achieve its goals? Certainly his policies to break down the family fit with the attack on the West. If you've never read the Communist goals outlined in The Naked Communist you need to go here and see how much of the agenda has been implemented in the U.S. with the aid of the feminists, labor unions, Planned Parenthood, the Democratic Party, and other fellow travelers. What do you think; is David Martin's article plausible?

Obama Chosen by the Russians 25 Years Ago
By David Martin 

Tom Fife, an American physicist and businessman was at a gathering in Moscow in February 1992, when an ethnic comment made about Russians angered a female KGB agent in attendance and caused her to unveil threatening secrets about an upcoming U.S. president.
 
As he relayed on the Jeff Nyquist Show in February 2010, he and two others were in Moscow for a joint venture with a leading scientist from a Russian science academy, after which they were invited to a going-away dinner hosted by the scientist and his wife who was an agent for the Russian Communist Party. In the course of the conversation, one of the Americans expressed his surprise over the influx of Mongol peoples in Russia, evident in their Mongol features, to which the hostess took offense (seeing her pure breed superiority slighted) and retorted that it is we Americans that have all the ethnic diversity and division, citing our riots, our racial history, etc.
 
She went on to say that the U.S. would soon receive a "black president" who was already chosen, stating that he had been "well groomed" by the Soviets to be "irresistible" to the American people.

One of the guests exclaimed, "It sounds like you know something we don’t know."
"Yes, it is true," she replied. "This is not some idle talk. He is already born, and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. Have no doubt: he is one of us." 

She described him as "a Communist" whose father was a black African and whose mother was white. "It’s all been thought out. His father is not an American black, so he won’t have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a communist. He’s gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America." 

She rattled off a complete litany on their protege, stating that he was from Hawaii and that he had been schooled in New York and California, with residency in Chicago. She called him the "chocolate baby" because of his mixed ethnicity and said that his name was Barack. 

Fife responded by saying that he believed the word "barack" in Arabic meant blessing, to which she emphatically agreed, stating that this black man would be a blessing for world Communism. She explained that the only remaining obstacle for the advance of Communism was the United States, and said he would be instrumental in converting America over to communist ways (change) so that the cause of Communism could finally flourish worldwide without further hindrance from Capitalism.

Fife was somewhat taken by her discourse, which he found convincing and indisputable. What especially impressed him was not so much what she said, as it was the assuredness in which she spoke, and described her as an "authority" who spoke with command. Though some of the Russians in attendance cleared their throats and made little signs for her to hush, they dared not interrupt her discourse, as if she had an air of "power" about her. 

Thankfully, her vanity got the better of her so that her enemy America could know the truth. It behooves Americans to capitalize on the truth and spread it abroad, since "The truth will make you free." (John 8:32) The enemy banks on our apathy and fear to achieve their new order of global enslavement, so why give them their way? 

Putin and his Kremlin cronies roar with laughter that Americans have fallen prey to their pacifist fairy-tale about Communism dying in the early nineties. It was a ruse to throw us off in the advent of a coming Red assault on the west. As they finalize their plan to incite worldwide revolution and terror, they don't want the world to suspect what they're about to do, so the bear is simply playing dead in keeping with Lenin's strategy: "When you're strong, feign weakness." 

Putin's ploy right now is to conceal his alliance with the globalists and to feign lamentation over America's fall to immorality, because he knows this is what Donald Trump wants to hear. He wants to gain Trump's confidence and ring his ears, because his design is to deceive and weaken him, and to eventually elicit secrets out of him—a typical KGB tactic. 
 
If Russia were less powerful, they wouldn't be able to manipulate our mindset so easily. If people actually believe that Communism collapsed and that Russia is now a "peace loving" nation that "embraces religious liberty," it only shows the great power that Russia presently exerts over the western mind. 

Hence a good New Year's resolution is for America to wake up and not fall prey any longer to Russia's media hypnosis. People may or may not buy Tom Fife's testimony, but they cannot deny that what he disclosed in 1992 foreshadowed virtually everything Obama has done for the past eight years to implement his Socialist, anti-American agenda at home. The allegations that he is a "cradled Marxist" are certainly backed by his work. "By their fruits you shall know them." (Matthew 7:21)

Tom Fife and Anne Leary Interviews


25 comments:

  1. Constance Combey was urged by her listeners to feature Tom Fife on Radio Liberty.
    Constance spoke to him on the phone and checked out people and places he told her about including the Russian Prof and his wife who hosted Tom and his business partner and taught at the Russian Science University where they came to collaborate on technology.
    Everything Tom said checked out to be truthful. Interestingly, same Technical Institute on Wikipedia housed KGB operatives and Communist Party officials at the time. However, Wikipedia revamped the entire profile of the Institute into a Tech and Science University for higher learning, deleting all references to the Communist Party that was a central feature to the place right after Mr Fife gave his public testimony "The First Time I Heard the Name Barak".

  2. Frank Marshall davis - Obama's real father...?
    Sigh, another opinion article on Vladimir Putin by David Martin. You go with your personal opinion and I'll side with Benedict XVI.

    The paragraph below is Gigi's Jan 6 comment (#11) from David's Dec 31 post, "Is Putin a Charlatan?"

    Gigi...
    Page 210. Q. “How was the meeting with Putin?”

    B16: “Very interesting. We spoke with each other in German; he speaks perfect German. We didn’t go very deep, but I certainly believe that is - a man of power of course - somehow affected by the necessity of faith. He is a realist. He sees how Russia suffers from the destruction of morality. Even as a patriot, as someone who wants Russia to have great power again, he sees that the destruction of Christianity threatens to destroy Russia. A human being needs God, he sees that quite evidently, and he is certainly affected by it inwardly as well. He has now even, as he gave the Papa ([Pope Francis] an icon, made the sign of the cross and kissed it . . ."

    Thank you, Gigi. It's refreshing to read something other than David Martin's one and only outdated opinion. David, you need to take a trip to Russia...the Russia of today, not the one stuck in your mind from half a century ago.

  3. An excellent source of factual information on Frank Marshall Davis, Barack's mentor, is Dr. Paul Kengor's book, The Communist. The documented proof put forward in this book leaves no doubt about who the people were behind the grooming process that gave the world Barack Hussein Obama.

    You can speculate all you want about whether Frank Marshall Davis was Barack's biological father or not, but it is a fact that Davis was an active member of the Communist Party USA and wrote for communist publications in Chicago and Hawaii. Davis was a friend of Barack's grandparents and of his mother. As a teen, Barack was put under the tutelage of Davis who formed his "world view" on politics.

    I agree also that "Witness", the book written by Whitaker Chambers is a must read. It is unwise to think that wars change anything more than boundary lines on a map and who controls them. Stongly held beliefs are changed only when people are willing to die to their former self and admit they were wrong. All conversions are the same whether they are religious or political. They come from within us. Communists hold faith in what they believe and it is nearly unshakable.

    Communism is incompatible with Christianity. This is why Our Blessed Mother would have us pray for the conversion of Russia, the root and source of the Comintern. Barack was indeed a puppet.

  4. Putin's assignment from the KGB was to destroy all Stasi files in Germany before the wall was to fall. STASI = German equivalent of the KGB. They said he kept the fires burning for weeks destroying the files and those deemed important docs were shipped in a convoys of trucks back to Moscow.
    Prior to that, he was assigned to Leningrad district ( St Petersburg now) he handled all the commodities and import export for the region. He made millions but the people still found their grocery shelves lacking. He bought in the products with the people's money but resold them lining his own pockets.
    when he became President he surrounded himself with his KGB friends in the Duma.
    He also has the Russian mafia in his pocket and any friend who achieves financial success in any realm of business knows to pay him homage. If Putin feels he is crossed or not being paid enough OR if a person is financially successful that is not a friend to the President he better watch out because his wealth will not be his for long and he finds himself charged with a trumped up offense and jailed.
    The Bolshoi ,considered a national treasure , has taken in American dancers who soon discovered you will get no decent roles no matter how gifted your Russian teachers consider you to be,unless you have a sponsor who will pay lots of money to buy them for you. It is now being run by a Kremlin communist official.
    Russia runs on the black market economy because that is the way it works under Communism there and nothing has changed.
    Nothing has really changed from the soviet era except for it's image for the West.
    Putin and his close allies have Dachas off of Spain ( Majorca I believe ) as do his politically controlled red mafia .

  5. It may seem unlikely that a Russian would so boldly let the cat out of the bag at a dinner party, but when you consider how freely the vodka flows on all these occasions it is no wonder. What is remarkable perhaps is that anyone would remember what was said when they sober up the next day.

    We have a friend who traveled on business with a soft drink company to Russia hoping to promote sale of his product. He was wined and dined and then taken by his handler back to an apartment for a few late night drinks. The Russian told our friend it is bad luck to open a bottle and not finish it, so they drank and drank and drank, to the point our friend worried he might not get out of there. As the Russian got drunker and drunker, he talked more and more, saying things he might well have regretted and have therefore a reason to cover his tracks.

    In the case of the woman who mentioned Barack, I see her as a woman unable to hold on to this most delicious secret and she literally gave it away to satisfy her desire to demean the American.

  6. Some of the comments I read here are rather amazing, amazing in their reluctance to check facts, go beyond the mainstream media, read about the accusers (like Nemstov) and in other words use common sense to decipher what is right and what is wrong.

    It would take a long article to delve into some of the comments and answer them one by one. But let me offer just a few quick thoughts.

    Firstly, accept for a small group of diehards, Communism is dead in Russia. Gone. Kaput. This vital piece of information does not compute with some folks mainly because they don't try to understand what is going on in that country. But Communism isn't a major issue there anymore. As stated their are some nostalgic folks in Russia who long for its return but that is unlikely under the current presidency.

    Secondly, far too many people misinterpret Our Lady's words about the conversion of Russia. Remember, she visited Fatima BEFORE the revolutionaries came into power. As authors as diverse as Frere Michel and were able to demonstrate, she was not referring to Communism, but a conversion away from Orthodoxy to Catholicism. In fact it is the "caesaropapism" of the Orthodox which keeps them from realizing that Christ founded one Universal Church, not a series of Churches. That is what Our Lady was referring to. It is widely believed that the Judeo/Communist subversion of Russia was Russia's punishment for its schism.

    Thirdly, all these people who violently criticize Putin, like Jewish lesbian Masha Gessen for example, are left untouched by Russian authorities and are able to spout their nonsense unhampered. As for those who visited Russia recently it might be helpful to read about the experiences of pro-family groups who met in Moscow: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/conference-promoting-large-families-in-russia-amazes-westerners

    If you are going to read all the nonsensical propaganda about the supposed lavish lifestyle of Mr Putin as written by his bitter enemies would it not serve justice to read the other side of that story, too?

    Remember one other thing. Russia was buried under the rubble of the atheistic monsters of Communism for nearly a century. Is it reasonable to expect that it might take many decades to fully restore normalcy. Do you know how many Orthodox and Catholic churches have been restored or rebuilt since the fall of Communism? No? Why not? Perhaps you should google that to find out. This is the action of secret Communists?

    Russia in general and Putin in particular is the villain du jour right now because International Finance wants him gone, and will use any means fair or foul to oust him. They were enraged when Russia came to Syria - at Syria's request, mind you, not like America who has no business there and has been supporting the Christian killers from day one - and began to turn back the forces if ISIS and Al-Nusra, financed, trained and supplied by the USA, Israel and Saudi Arabia.

    This is going on too long. But to the author of this guest post and all those who quote from those afflicted with PDS (Putin Derangement Syndrome) I would respectfully suggest that you dig a little deeper into the realities of today's Russia. You don't need to canonize Putin but it may just help to understand him and his motives.

  7. Re: Susan Matthiesen--Just remember, the icon Putin gave Francis is jinxed. It's a disguised sacramental, a demonic item to weaken the will. You need to understand that whatever semblance of "peace" exists in Russia has been deliberately created for cosmetic purposes. Naturally, they emptied out their arsenals in the 90s and turned them into flower pots for American tourists to come and see, while they hid and even deployed the H-bombs and missiles in other places, like Cuba. The plan as outlined by Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987 to the Soviet Politburo has come to pass right on target with the anesthetization of America, so why do you surrender yourself so easily to their media seduction?

    "Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep.” -Mikhail Gorbachev, speech to the Soviet Politburo, November 1987

  9. To be quite honest, I don't know what to believe. I read the biography of Litvinenko and his assassination by plutonium poisoning and have read several articles about the reporter Anna Politkovskaya's assassination. They both happened in 2006 and were associated with Putin. Now people can convert, but I've never seen anything about Putin rejecting his past. So I'll keep reading, but I'm skeptical about Russia being converted.

  10. "she was not referring to Communism, but a conversion away from Orthodoxy to Catholicism. "

    I beg to differ Aged Parent, as does Duarte Pio Portuguese Duke of Braganza who was close to Lucia and who asked her specifically if Russia was to be converted to Roman Catholicism from Orthodoxy . She replied in the negative stating the people would return to Christian Orthodoxy. Many Russians are doing just that BUT their Leadership is still Communist. They are not stupid people and know what is happening in their own nation.
    You may ask how I know about the letter. I urge you to listen to Antiochian Orthodox priest on you tube ,Fr Josiah Trenham . He has had dinner with the Duke and his family ,knew Fr Paul Marx and is a friend of Cardinal Cordilione .
    Also, study an honest the history of the Church , The Fourth Crusade and discover why Pope John Paul was returning some relics stolen from the Orthodox during his pontificate. His mother was Orthodox.
    Pope Francis is only repeating the distrust and fears among the Faithful that the Orthodox were wary of at the end of the first millenia.
    Both sides had reason to breakaway from the other .Both the East and the West were guilty of causing the so called Great Schism.

    As far as Gorbachev and the fall of soviet marxist communism......as Russian defecters told me first hand, "It is Theatre for the West"
    BYW ,I also me many who were still Marxist Communists and what about CPUSA here?

  11. Aged Parent,
    One more thing. My two aunts and grandparents literally escaped from Lithuania when the Russians began to take over a few years BEFORE the Bolshevic Revolution.
    This woman below is a nun who spent years in the gulag. She wrote and delivered much of the "Chronicles of the Catholic Church" in Lithuania along with Faithful priests who were persecuted tortured and died under Marxist Communism.
    In the nineties she visited Catholic Churches all over the northeast major cities here in America warning that Gorbachev was worse than Stalin and Lenin combined and not to be fooled by the s called end of Marxist Communism. She relates in her book that the Roman Catholic priests and nuns that operated underground were hidden by the Orthodox Faithful. Their religious were murdered and imprisoned also.

    It seems to me that Frere Michel should have studied his Church History a tad more. It was the Orthodox Bubushkas that kept Christianity alive in their families during the communist persecutions. my dear friend Fr Austin Mohrbacher RIP, a Byzantine Catholic priest, spent years traveling to and from the Soviet Union smuggling in Bibles and Holy Cards.It was he who founded the first Catholic Church there after the alleged fall of Communism. He respected the Orthodox as being one and the same Faith because he knew Orthodox and Catholic historical differences and squabbles. They have validly recognized sacraments and valid priests .More than can be said about the SSPX whose priests are considered valid but illicit. It is up to the Hierarchy to settle the differences and legalities as it was they who over a thousand years ago caused the split.We should remain Orthodox catholics or Catholic orthodox until they do.

  13. The trouble with most of those who look askance at Russia and its president are those still mired in the misconception that Communism is still alive in Russia. And for a few hard core commies, it is. But the nation has moved away from that. Many commenters here keep referring to things of the past apparently forgetting that they are in the past.

    One of the major villains of the day is Russia Today, the government-funded news agency. (I always find it humorous that the biggest shovellers of propaganda, the US news media, accuse it of being nothing but Russian propaganda.) Now I'm not a particularly great admirer of RT because there are issues they simply do not understand at all, for example the race problem here in America. In RT's weird view, the US is full of cops who get up in the morning and decide to go out and shoot some innocent blacks for fun! But on the other hand, they are good at reporting certain international issues. They have many articles, in fact, that discuss the awful Communist past. Think about that for a moment. Additonally they certainly have George Soros' number: https://www.rt.com/op-edge/372921-soros-eu-democracy-putin-merkel/

    "elpine flower" 's comments indicate someone who is not only unfamiliar with recent history but apparently also with Catholic dogma, particularly Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus. It is never the right thing to do to let schism go unchecked. And, no, your interpretation of the Fatima events, while popular, is incorrect. If you would read the careful, indeed brilliant, analysis of people like Father Alonso (who knew Lucia and had ALL the facts, and Frer Michel - and I mean really read them - you will find much to ponder. May I also respectfully suggest you read Russian philosopher Vladimir Soloviev, particularly his "Russia and the Universal Church". It is online.

    Mary Ann: the cases you refer to have not been proven to have anything at all to do with Putin. As of now they remain unsolved. Look at the current nonsense about Putin "hacking" the DNC (unproven and unlikely) or his interfering with the Vermont power grid (totally debunked last week). This anti-Russian hysteria has moved from ridiculousness to outright farce. Yet I agree with you that we should always remain prudent. Regarding Russia's conversion: no, they have not converted to Catholicism. There is still abortion there (though the government is taking steps to begin to curb it (Patriarch Kirill is demanding that it be totally eliminated), they still tolerate homosexuality, though they have passed laws limiting homo propaganda and forbid "pride parades". So, the healing process will be slow but only those who are blind refuse to see that the trend is moving in the right direction. Russia's main sin is schism and until that is healed there may still be trouble ahead.

    Is Putin a Saint? No. Is Putin the devil? No. Is he interested in the welfare of his nation? Yes. Does he go to church? Here might be a couple of answers to that:

    I don't think my opinion about the conversion is wrong at all. Read Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's book, "Communism and the Conscience of the West" and tell me you don't agree with me. Sheen knew better than either one of us, exactly what Mary meant when she asked for the consecration of Russia. She wanted them converted away from communism, an evil ideology that they received from westerners such as Marx and Lenin.

    As far as the current curb on evangelization, Mary Ann, I've read that it is an effort to not let every "Tom Dick and Harry" into their country spouting any and every flavor of religion. IF I could keep scientology, for instance, out of this country, I would do it. And those other outrageous sects that embrace polygamy as well. And other things like Anthroposophy.

  16. Dear Aged Parent, I have read Frer Michel Three books if I remember correctly and Fr Alfonso.
    Re, the Orthodox according to Canon Law
    "Whenever necessity requires or a genuine spiritual advantage commends it, and provided the danger of error or indifferentism is avoided, Christ's faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister, may lawfully receive the sacraments of penance, the Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose churches these sacraments are valid (canon 844 §2)."
    I recommend you might want to watch Fr Gruner and John Vennari discuss this exact topic on you tube. Fr Gruner (RIP), who had committed just about everything on Fatima to memory, even stated,"Let the Pope command his bishops to do the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart and let Heaven decide whether they are to convert to Roman Catholicism or back to Christ through Russian Orthodoxy."

    As it stands today, approximately 10% of Russians attend their churches.
    They were never Roman Catholic. They celebrate the Divine Liturgies of the Eastern Churches having been converted to the Church through Sts Cyril and Methodius.

    mother Teresa of Still River was a very dear friend of mine. she called and wrote to me shortly before she died. Mother took personal care of Fr Feeney before he died and was the head of the Order of nuns he founded. We stayed with her and were her dinner guests . I am VERY familiar with this Doctrine and the real reason why Fr Feeney was persecuted for upholding it and by whom . It has to do with Baptism .
    The RC Church recognizes the validity of Orthodox Ordination and Sacraments including the Sacrament of Baptism.

  19. Hello Mary Ann,

    I appreciate your response.

    If you note the details of the anti-evangelism "law" in Russia, you will see that it is aimed at the weirder of Protestant sects and also Mormonism. Catholicism is not targeted in any specific way. Catholic churches are left unmolested and the government has even allocated funds to restore some of the ones detsroyed by the Soviets. This might be of interest: http://rbth.com/multimedia/pictures/2014/12/17/top_8_of_catholic_cathedrals_in_moscow_and_st_petersburg_42311. You will also note that it is primarily the protestants who are writing all the dire warnings about this. It is only repressive in the same way Russia's recent law against spreading pro-homosexual propaganda to children is repressive. People are not being put in jail as in Soviet days but they are facing fines.

    That being said, Catholics are still viewed by many Orthodox as the bad guys. Some Orthodox with whom I have corresponded have an irrational, almost foaming-at-the-mouth hatred for the Church. But on the other hand, many have cordial relations amongst themselves and cooperate in social activities. I linked to the pro-family meeting in Moscow from Lifesite news in a previous comment which is well worth reading.

    Thanks to this volatile situation any kind of conversion efforts by Catholics toward would certainly meet with state and church disapproval, and the rantings of our recent Popes about the "horrors" of proselytism make the matter even worse. This schism is not going to end overnight but I suspect the Fatima situation to play a large part in ending it.

    Right now our government is doing its level best to goad Russia into a new and terrible war. For too long our nation has been run by super rich psychopaths. Yes, they really want to go to ward with Russia. They are insane but that is what is going on. In a kind of Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse, the US and NATO are stationing troops and ships and planes within three miles of Russia's border, and yet Putin refuses to take the bait. But the Money Power wants war, misery, sex perversion and lots of dead babies and is doing everything it can to provoke a worldwide conflagration. Look at their vilification of Trump. I personally don't see Trump making any real difference but the mere thought that he might has unglued these people. And so every old story about Russian villainy is dredged up to prepare people for a new war. That people cannot see through this charade worries me greatly.

    To sum up, our enemy is the Money Power, the Oligarchs, International Finance or whatever you want to call them. Read the ravings of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates (Mr Abortion), Sheldon Adelson, Haim Saban, George Soros, etc. Worry about them. They are the ones who buy candidates.

    A happy new year to you and yours.

    Of course "He sees" ,Because it was the exact plan laid out by the head of the KGB almost half a century ago to destroy America. "IDEOLOGICAL SUBVERSION".
    (aka) to change the perception of reality.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obr1XqUPEII

    "It’s a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages. The first stage being “demoralization”. It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.

    The result? The result you can see — most of the people who graduated in the 60’s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can’t get through to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.

    In other words [for] these people the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible. To rid society of these people you need another 15 or 20 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of United States society.

    ED: And yet these people who have been programmed and as you say [are] in place and who are favorable to an opening with the Soviet concept – these are the very people who would be marked for extermination in this country?"

    Here we agree.

    "To sum up, our enemy is the Money Power, the Oligarchs, International Finance or whatever you want to call them. Read the ravings of Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates (Mr Abortion), Sheldon Adelson, Haim Saban, George Soros, etc. Worry about them. They are the ones who buy candidates."

    ......I would add that they are within the church institution also. How is it that the Vatican has within it's walls an office for our CIA? How is it that Opus Dei was given several parishes within Moscow? How is it that a Jewish Rabbi belongs to Opus Dei and does not believe Jesus Christ is True God and the Messiah? How is it that Pope Francis has Rabbi Skorka living with him in St Marthe's House?
    I would also ask why most Catholics do not realize B'nai Brith is a Freemasonic Lodge? Study the history of the Rothschild Dynasty.
    Read 'The Plot Against the Church".

    As far as foaming Orthodox.
    After the Fourth Crusade in which Venetian aristocracy funded the sacking of Constantinople which included the murders of priests nuns , monks along with citizens ,and placed a prostitute on the main altar of Hagia San Sofia the beautiful basilica dedicated Our Holy Mother, there were four attempts to reunite by the Hierarchy, both Latin and Eastern. But the people would not forget the blasphemies robberies and murder.

    They still have not forgotten all the relics which were stolen including the Shroud.
    Read this excellent book written by Vatican Secret Library archivist and paleographer Barbahttps://www.amazon.com/Templars-Shroud-Christ-Barbara-Frale/dp/1905379730ra Frail who uncovered letters from Eastern Patriarchs to the Pope shortly after the so called Crusade ( which never got to the Holy Land).
    Very good book ! She was doing her research for her Doctorate from the University of Venice when she discovered these documents from antiquity in the Vatican Library.

    Most Catholics are ignorant to the fact that St Mark's Cathedral in Venice is decorated with many of the stolen antiquities and relics from Constantinople or that the following Pope excommunicated these so called crusaders who stole and trafficked in the relics. Several Pontificates later another Pope lifted the excommunication driving the split ( schism ) deeper.

    Again to Pope John Paul's credit ,he tested the waters by returning some Eastern Church relics.
    A good place to basic start to understand why the "schism " occurred is to read Malachi Martin's book.

  23. I like Putin a lot. He is a Russian Nationalist who puts his country first. I think too much is made of his KGB background. We had a president who was head of our equivalent of the KGB. The CIA is not a Boy Scout Troop. When the U.S. instigated the political coup that separated the Ukraine from Russia's sphere, Putin had to annex Crimea to retain his naval base and access to the Black Sea/Mediterranean. Nobody got killed in the peaceful plebiscite/annexation.The U.S. provokes Russia by putting NATO on its borders. I remember how "freaked out: we became in the '60s about Russia's operations in Cuba. Why are we doing this?

    Comparing side-by-side photographs of Obama, Davis, and the African grad student briefly married to Obama's mother, it sure looks like Davis is Barack's father.
