PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN: Andy Martin explains what Barack Obama is hiding in Obama’s college/law school records

Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin continues to lead the anti-Obama “underground.” Andy was the first researcher/columnist to apply independent scholarly principles to investigating Barack Obama’s opaque personal history. In this column Andy explains what Obama is hiding in his college and law school records. Future installments will address hidden Hawai’ian records as well as an analysis of the impact of Harry Reid’s attacks on Mitt Romney on the presidential campaign.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says “Barack Obama has a lot to hide” in his college and law school records



Andy says that if you apply Senator Harry Reid’s “rules” and tactics to Obama’s missing records, you get a startling result from the available evidence.



What was/is Obama’s relationship to Khalid Al-Mansour and Al-Mansour’s Saudi Arabia cash pipeline?



Did Frank Marshall Davis finance part of Barack Obama’s college education?



(MANCHESTER, NH) (August 8, 2012) Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin was the first independent analyst and investigator to apply scholarly research principles to investigating and analyzing Barack Obama’s “hidden” personal history. Andy suggests Washington Post editor David Maraniss’ recent book on Obama’s early life missed the true significance of Obama’s “college” and “law school” years. Here is Andy’s take on the “why” and “what” Obama is hiding from the American people:



Eight years ago I began researching the life of Barack Obama. While I was not writing a formal biography I knew Obama from Illinois politics. I also knew the “Obama” being presented to the nation was not the same “Obama” I knew in the Illinois senate.



By 2007 I had explored Obama’s birth citizenship (as a result of my research Obama admitted he was born a dual national with American and United Kingdom citizenship) and his educational background.



Monitoring cable programs and national news on August 7th I thought I was back in 2008. The “Birther” controversy is back with full force, this time focused on Obama’s college and law school records. I am not surprised at this renewed interest in Obama’s personal history. In 2008 the liberal media simply refused to vet Obama the way they vet every other candidate for national office. 2012 is a throwback to the job not done in 2008.



After I introduced a small sliver of Obama’s personal history to a national audience on October 5, 2008 on Fox News (link below) Obama’s henchmen targeted me for extermination by the liberal media. What had I exposed that was so damaging, and so incendiary in the eyes of Obama’s thugs? I stated that Obama had been admitted to Harvard Law School through the intervention of a vicious anti-Semite, anti-White front man for the Saudi monarchy (link below). Percy Sutton had inadvertently blown Obama’s cover and I drew attention to Sutton’s video (link below).



Does Obama have reason to hide his educational history? I believe he does. But I also want to provide some impartial and unemotional analysis of the “Obama files.” Obama does not fear extremists who exaggerate about his family and education. Rather, Obama is afraid of people who search for the truth about his personal history. That’s why I have been targeted.



On Tuesday night (August 7th) there were all kinds of wild stories circulating (more on the impact of this outburst in a later column) by a man who claimed to be “classmate” of Obama and others. Surprisingly, both MSNBC and Fox News jumped on the “education” story, from conflicting points of view. So what’s the story?



I believe we should look at each of the educational institutions Obama attended for clues to what he wants to conceal.



OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE: When Barack Obama (“Barry Obama” – see link below) left Hawai’i to become an Occidental College freshman he went to an elite and expensive private college. The obvious question: who paid for Obama’s two years attending Occidental? We do not know. Because Obama claims to have been an average student at Punahou School in Honolulu (another explosive forthcoming column) Obama’s claim that he received “scholarships” to Occidental sounds suspicious and has never been documented.



Obama’s family was not wealthy. His grandmother worked at a bank, but banks traditionally pay low salaries. It is doubtful his grandparents had the resources to pay for a private college and the travel expenses associated with going to school on the mainland. (Interestingly, Obama avoided attending the University of Hawai’i where his mother had begun her college education.)



Who paid? How was he accepted? What is he hiding?



I think the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Obama was admitted to Occidental College as some sort of foreign student, based on his claims about his Kenyan father, and that he was accepted despite his mediocre grades. One of the most enduring bogus emails on the Internet has been one announcing that Obama’s Occidental College records have been released. That is simply not true.



You can actually turn one of Obama’s supporters’ arguments around to understand how Obama acted. In defending his Hawai’ian birth (which I accept) supporters say: his family didn’t have a plan “x” number of years ago when he was born for him to become a public figure and run for president. True enough. But it is equally likely that when he applied to college he was looking for a hook into the mainland, and that he was willing to stretch the truth to get accepted at an expensive private college. He had no plan-to-be-president when he filled out his college applications. That’s why he lied to gain admission.



So who paid for Occidental? In my opinion, Frank Marshall Davis paid if anyone did. Whether Davis is Obama’s biological father (as I believe) or merely an ageing old racist who had money as a result of an advantageous marriage in Chicago, only Davis had the resources and the motivation to promote Obama to the mainland. To use Harry Reid’s trope, until and unless Obama proves otherwise I believe Obama’s educational expenses were paid for by Davis, and that Obama held himself out as some sort of foreign or “international” student to gain acceptance. He might have also received a small scholarship or stipend as a result of his “international” status, the same way his Kenyan “father” had years before at the University of Hawai’i. The disclosure of these Reid-inspired “facts” would be highly embarrassing to Obama.



It was at Occidental that Obama morphed from the Hawai’ian kid into the sophisticated leftist agitator he is today. What happened? Obama changed his name from “Barry” to “Barack” to promote his “Africanness.” Frank Marshall Davis knew a large number of influential people in the civil rights and Black community in Chicago. I believe it was while Obama was at Occidental that he became connected to Khalid Al-Mansour and began to tap Al-Mansour’s Saudi Arabian moneybags.



What I don't know is whether the Al-Mansour connection developed as a result of contacts originated by Davis, or whether Obama independently found his way to Al-Mansour’s doorstep in the vicinity of Occidental College.



Al-Mansour did not surface while Obama was at Occidental, as far as we know. But we continue to know very little about the financial aspects of Obama’s college years. I’m still searching.



COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: After two years at Occidental, Obama transferred to Columbia University in New York. Although Wayne Allyn Root has now surfaced as a “classmate” of Obama’s, Root has not previously disclosed any of his “new” information about Obama-at-Columbia. (I would apply a screen of skepticism to Root’s claims.)



Root’s argument that Obama may have been admitted to Columbia as a “foreign” student, however, is plausible and is also consistent with my theory as to how Obama was admitted to Occidental. Root does not discuss Obama’s finances (Root claims not to have been aware of Obama’s presence at Columbia). But, once again, the question is raised: who paid for Columbia?



And once again I believe the explanation for Obama’s source of Columbia University financing is Frank Marshall Davis and Khalid Al-Mansour. I also invoke Harry Reid: until Obama produces credible evidence of how he paid for his Columbia education, I am entitled to believe Davis and Al-Mansour were the paymasters.



HARVARD LAW SCHOOL: Obama worked in Chicago under the tutelage of Bill Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn before he resumed his education at Harvard Law School. And once again we have the same questions: how did he get in, and who paid?



Luckily this time we have Percy Sutton's inadvertent admission that Obama was being funded and supported by Khalid Al-Mansour (see links below). Sutton had no reason to lie. His voice is as crisp as his statements are clear.



Al-Mansour was promoting Obama for Harvard Law School. Al-Mansour was providing cash as well as soliciting letters of recommendation for admission. Sutton’s remarks finally lift the veil of secrecy over who was financing Obama, and why.



Obama probably could not get away with claiming to be a “foreign student” at Harvard, which is why Percy Sutton’s recommendation and the cash provided by Al-Mansour made up for Obama’s earlier mediocre academic record at Columbia.



CONCLUSIONS: Obama has good reason to hide his college records. During his college years he changed his name (from Barry to Barack) and at some point he was financed by either Frank Marshall Davis (an anti-white racist) or Khalid Al-Mansour (an anti-Semitic, anti-white racist as well as a front for Saudi oil money). When you apply Obama’s now famous trope that “you didn’t build it yourself,” (a business) or “didn’t do it yourself," Obama is 100% correct in his case. He didn’t do any of the hard work himself. He had financial assistance from racists and anti-Semites and possibly even—indirectly—Saudi oil cash.



Harry Reid is an attorney and he knew when he made his accusations against Mitt Romney that circumstantial evidence and the “adverse inference rule” are tactics used by experienced trial lawyers. Likewise, I feel it is entirely fair to use “Harry's Rules” to interpret and analyze the limited circumstantial evidence, and to draw an adverse inference from Obama’s secrecy concerning his college records. To paraphrase Reid’s words, “If there is nothing to hide, why won’t you disclose? The burden is on you (Obama) to prove the available evidence is wrong and to ‘open your books.’”



WHY DAVID MARANISS MISSED THE FOREST FOR THE TREES: Washington Post editor David Maraniss wrote an honest book about Obama, but an incomplete one. Maraniss did not ask the hard questions, and he was preoccupied with interesting but ultimately irrelevant details (the girlfriend, the “choom gang”). I don’t think Maraniss is an evil man, but he was totally unprepared to dig into the hidden past of a character as complex and secretive as Obama.



THE FOOTNOTE THAT SHOULD SEND SHIVERS DOWN YOUR SPINE: Percy Sutton is dead (old age). Frank Davis is dead (also old age). But Khalid Al-Mansour is still alive. Only Al-Mansour knows the truth about his relationship to Obama’s progression from Hawai’ian high schooler to Harvard Law School graduate. And Al-Mansour has refused to speak. Interestingly, you don’t see mainstream media beating a path to Al-Mansour's door seeking his comments or evidence. Media scrupulously avoid seeking to investigate and interrogate Al-Mansour. There is an obvious media fear of digging too deep or trying too hard to unravel the mysteries of Barack Hussein Obama. I have not been afraid.

ANDY MARTIN on Barack Obama’s “Mosque Madness”

Andy Martin was the first writer/investigator to question Barack Obama’s “Christian” narrative and focus attention on Obama’s Muslim family history. Martin’s first column on Obama appeared six years ago in August 2004. Martin now explains why Obama’s “mosque madness” over a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan has become Obama’s “fatal attraction.” Martin says Senator Harry Reid’s divorce from Obama’s mosque statements is the best evidence Obama will destroy the Democratic Party before he is forced to leave the White House.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says Barack Obama’s stumble on the Manhattan mosque issue has transformed the 2010 election from a mid-term contest into a referendum on the president

Andy Martin says that in 45 years of political involvement he has never seen anything similar to Barack Obama’s self-inflicted wound over the New York City mosque

Andy asks “Who Pays and Who Prays?” at the proposed Lower Manhattan mosque; we still don’t know

(CHICAGO)(August 17, 2010) By nature I’m not someone who hides his views; I don’t like keeping my feelings a secret. When you put on a false face and lie to people it eventually catches up with you. I sleep well at night. I'm not perfect but I try to be honest. I would rather be liked or disliked for what I really believe that have people attracted to me because of my “pretend” opinions. That’s why I’m not such a good political candidate but a much better analyst and columnist.

I was the first name on Barack Obama’ enemies list because I was the first writer to start asking the hard questions about Obama’s mysterious family tree. This month we “celebrate” exactly six years since I wrote my first column on Obama and exposed that he was a Muslim. That column is one of the seminal pieces of recent American politics:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1189687/posts

Nevertheless, in 45 years of political experience I have never seen anything quite like the past five days. I’m out of breath. I saw the stories on Barack Obama’s “endorsement” of the controversial Manhattan mosque Friday evening August 13th. I said to myself, “This is explosive.” Because I had a court hearing to prepare for on August 16th I could not sit down and write. Saturday the 14th, another explosion. Obama “reversed” his endorsement and said his Friday night support was “inoperative.” Monday the 16th while I was in Springfield, U. S. Senator Harry Reid sneak-attacked. Reid gave no warning that he was about to drop a bomb on Mr. Obama.

Where do I begin? Let me start at the beginning. Rush Limbaugh calls his occasional retrospectives “caller clinics.” Because I am a writer we’ll call phase one of this column “Reader Rehab.”

When I wrote the first critical story on Barack Obama in August 2004, my research and analysis was initially ignored by the liberal media elites. We did a lot of investigative work on the story, checking African tribal lore, Islamic traditions, the Arabic language and the practices and history of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London. Out of that effort came the view that Obama was a closeted Muslim, and that he was hiding his religion in plain sight.

As Obama became the subject of increasing scrutiny my original column became his opponents’ Rosetta Stone. My analysis was the prism through which Obama’s opposition sought to unlock his hidden past. In retaliation, Obama’s campaign team launched relentless attacks on me. By 2008 Obama had a full-fledged dirty tricks operation focused on discrediting my work.

Then Obama moved into the White House. I kept searching for Obama’s “roots;” his supporters kept up their war to discredit my writing. Obamabots are still attacking me, still posting lies, still trying to deceive the media and the public. Why is Obama obsessed with me? It's obvious. I’m still trying to find the facts and search for the truth about who he really is.

Somewhere along the way my early columns on Barack Hussein Obama became a book (see below) and the book in turn became the first “Bible” of the “Birther” movement.

Although the liberal media invented the term "Birther” to ridicule Obama’s opponents, I turned the tables on the media elite and accepted the derogatory description. When they called me the “King of the Birthers” I said “Call me ‘Your majesty.’” So what if they call us “Birthers?” I still keep trying to find the facts and search for the truth about the mysterious Mr. Obama. Where is his original, typewritten birth certificate? Still hidden in Hawai’i. Why is he hiding it?

I should point out that “Birthers” are a coat of many colors. At one end of the spectrum is my work. I scrupulously stick to the facts. Just the facts. At the other end of the spectrum are people who peddle unprincipled lies about Obama. Yet, as bad as Barry Obama is, I still do not condone lying about him. Why lie about Obama when the truth is more than bad enough?

And so we arrive at August 17, 2010. The great Ozymandias “Barack Obama” lies in ruins. All for nothing. Or, rather, all for a mosque near ground zero? Unbelievable.

First, my overall opinion. (This not the “full truth” because we have a real treat for the Birthers coming in a few days.) Obama is not going to recover from this wound. His self-inflicted wound. There have been a lot of people still sitting on the fence so to speak. They had doubts about Obama’s religion, and they were prepared to believe he was a Muslim, but they still held back looking for the missing nail in Obama’s coffin.

Amazingly, Obama put the final nail in his own coffin in the past five days.

Since Friday, Obama has tried to confuse and defuse the mosque issue. But seasoned politicians like Senator Harry Reid know a dead duck when they see one. Obama is a dead duck.

Obama has converted the 2010 election from a “mid-term election” into a referendum on him. He. The One. He has lost control of his message.

What do you say when your own senate majority leader sticks the fork in you? You say nothing. You’re toast.

The only chain of events remotely comparable is President Lyndon Johnson’s realization early in 1968 that he was politically dead. He had lost the Democratic Party. Johnson quit a few days later.

On Friday Obama defended the so-called “Mosque at Ground Zero.” He unequivocally stated “That includes the right to build..in Lower Manhattan.” The Washington Post said that Obama had “forcefully joined the national debate.” The Post’s headline was “Obama defends plan for Ground Zero mosque.”

The New York Times headlined that “Obama strongly endorses Islam Center Near 9/11 Site,” and stated that “Obama delivered a strong defense Friday night of a proposed…mosque near ground zero in Manhattan…” Were all these people wrong? Don’t they speak English? Don’t they understand???

By Saturday Obama had retracted his statements (in Watergate-speak Obama’s Friday night remarks became “inoperative”) and claimed that his Friday night remarks were not an endorsement on the “wisdom” of building at ground zero. In 18 hours the “endorsement” had shifted into a non-endorsement. Obama had routed himself.

Muslims could not have been happy at the way they were quickly thrown under the bus. If Obama hoped to curry favor with Islamists, he shot himself in the foot with his overnight flip-flop.

By Monday, yesterday, we had a full-fledged supernova exploding across the political world. A senate candidate in Florida started running an anti-Obama ad criticizing BHO’s endorsement of the mosque:

http://blogs.tampabay.com/buzz/2010/08/rick-scotts-new-ad-target-in-gov-race-obama-ground-zero-mosque.html

The liberal news media are in greater disarray than Napoleon’s army retreating from Moscow. What can they do? Harry Reid shanked his maximum leader. The New York Times and Washington Post are trying to dilute the impact of Reid’s reversal by shifting the blame to “Republicans” and amorphous “Democrats." Reid’s anti-mosque statement was immediately watered down by liberal journalists:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/16/AR2010081603701_pf.html

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/16/AR2010081605425.html?hpid=topnews

But was Reid’s act of self-preservation really a “betrayal?” I don’t think so. Reid simply wants to save his seat. He saw where voter sentiment was going. Reid’s stab in the back anticipated public opinion in September and October.

Liberal media will not be writing about Obama and the mosque in September and October. Obama can silence the liberal media, and he does. But the “word of mouth” in the aftermath of Obama's remarks is going to be fatal. “Word of mouth” can make a movie, or break a president. “Obama is a Muslim; pass it on.”

What possessed the man? Integrity? Honesty? He hasn’t had any of these for 49 years. Why suddenly did Obama become a man of honor on this obscure local issue? One writer suggested it was because “Obama is now president.” But being president hasn’t activated Obama’s integrity gene before. He’s been lying from the day he moved in to the White House and started gorging himself on Waygu (Kobe) beef at the taxpayers’ expense ($75 a pound!).

I think Obama simply slipped. Without realizing it, he let his guard down. He’s tired. He has begun to realize he’s going to be a one-term president and he has started factoring that awareness into his mental state and political discourse. King Andy Martin is preparing to lead his “Birther Brigades” against the evil occupant of the White House in 2012. The outcome is not in doubt.

Let me illustrate the media’s Big Lie in the mosque controversy with a small truth. My mom (yes, she loves me) lived for many years in Alexandria, Virginia. Her home was a block away from a church. The neighbors raised “holy hell” when the church wanted to expand (I tied to find the church on the Internet, but couldn’t; it was just past Vernon View Drive on the George Washington Memorial Parkway heading towards Mount Vernon).

With all due respect to my Muslim brothers, and my Episcopal friends who support the mosque, opposition to church building and church expansion is nothing new. But not until the Manhattan Mosque did we find opposition to a religious facility transformed into a holy war by the liberal media. Most of us have probably heard at some time of a controversy involving expansion of a church. You would think that no one had ever objected to construction of a church the way opponents of the Manhattan Mosque are being portrayed as racist morons.

One of the great moments in Shakespeare is Caesar’s dying declaration “Et tu, Brute,” “even thou, Brutus.” I’m sure that if Shakespeare were around today he would write “Et tu, Harry.” Without realizing it, Harry Reid may have doomed Barry Obama. Reid’s dagger is the one that Obama will not be able to remove. Unconsciously, perhaps, Harry Reid’s decoupling from Obama on the mosque issue was the moment when Obama’s downfall crystalized. The political fallout from Obama’s obsession with Islam has become his fatal attraction.

Anyone seen Obama near a Christian church recently? Doubtful. I am sure you will in the days ahead. But it will be too late.

It’s been an unbelievable five days. And the deconstruction of Mullah Obama because of his “mosque madness” is just beginning.
