Obama taps "cognitive infiltrator" Cass Sunstein for Committee to create "trust" in NSA

197. It's not a possibility. It's a reality that "Obama is just as good at his job as he seems,"...

In that regard, let's take a look at what William Blum, author of Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, and most recently, America's Deadliest Export: Democracy, has to say about Obama's possible ties to the intelligence community:

In his autobiography, Dreams from My Father, Barrack Obama writes of taking a job at some point after graduating from Columbia University in 1983. He describes his employer as 'a consulting house to multinational corporations' in New York City, and his functions as a 'research assistant' and 'financial writer.'

Oddly, Obama doesn't mention the name of his employer. However, a New York Times story of 2007 identifies tha company as Business International Corporation.

In his book, Obama not only doesn't mention his employer's name; he fails to say exactly when he worked there, or why he left the job. There may well be no significance to these omissions, but inasmuch as Business International has a long association with the world of intelligence, covert actions, and attempts to penetrate the radical left - including Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - it's reasonable to wonder if the inscrutable Mr. Obama is concealing something about his own association with this world." (America's Deadliest Export..., pp. 292-294)

Mr. Blum goes on to note that Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, had, over time, been associated with at least five organizations "with intimate <emphasis the author's> CIA connections during the Cold War: the Ford Foundation, the Agency for International Development (AID), the Asia Foundation, Development Alternatives, Inc., and the East-West Center of Hawaii." (ibid.)

Given the above, I think it's a plausible assumption that Obama isn't going to cut the People any slack when it comes to putting pressure on the Intelligence Community for more transparency, because he is one of them.

As has been observed, here, many times....We are screwn!
