YES!
Obama’s Connection to Terrorist Disturbing



By Victor Thorn

Barack Obama wants voters to think he has denounced terrorist William Ayers, with a TV ad saying he was “11 years old” when the bombs were thrown. But his relationship with the America-hating communist remains cozy today.

Ayers was one of the most notorious domestic terrorists in this nation’s history. His group—the Weather Underground—bombed New York City police headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. On Sept. 11, 2001, while Americans watched in horror as our nation was attacked, William Ayers told The New York Times, “I don’t regret setting bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough.”

Obama announced his candidacy for the Illinois Senate in 1995, at Ayers’ house.

This is the same Ayers who was involved in bombing courthouses, banks, police barracks, a National Guard outpost, and other government buildings. The Weathermen also blew up a statue (on two different occasions) in Chicago’s Haymarket Square, broke LSD guru Timothy Leary out of prison, and set off a pipe bomb in San Francisco that killed one police officer and blinded another. They advocated attacks on innocent civilians, vandalism, and arson to get their message across. In all, the Weather Underground engaged in dozens of these attacks across the U.S. in the early 1970s.

His reign of terror ended when a bomb they were constructing in Greenwich Village exploded, killing three of his fellow Weathermen. The device, packed with boxes of carpenter nails to inflict maximum damage, was meant for a dance hall attended by soldiers and their dates at Fort Dix. As David Farber of the Chicago Tribune wrote, “It almost surely was intended to kill many people.”

A recent ad campaign sponsored by the American Issues Project asks, why would Barack Obama “be friends with someone who bombed the Capitol and is proud of it?”

After Obama kicked off his senatorial bid at William Ayers’ house, he also served with him for three years as a board member on the Woods Fund, a non-profit organization. Further, Obama also appeared with Ayers on two academic panels—the latest taking place in 2002. Both men are also linked to the University of Illinois in Chicago where Ayers teaches, and only live a few blocks from each other. Lastly, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama’s state senatorial campaign in 2001.

As is customary, Obama downplays his relationship to Ayers, just as he did with the flamboyant preacher whose church he attended for 20 years—Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Oddly enough, the similarities between Ayers and the Marxist, black nationalist Wright are striking.

In 1995, Ayers stated, “Maybe I’m the last communist who is willing to admit it. The ethics of communism still appeal to me.”

Similarly, the Weather Underground’s mission statement reveals that they sought to create a “white fighting force to be allied with the black liberation movement.” To augment their Marxist links, the Weathermen bombed the Pentagon in 1972 on Ho Chi Minh’s birthday, using what they called “an American Red Army.”

Ayers’ extremism also extends to his wife, fellow Weather Underground member Bernadine Dohrn, who was once listed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List.

Dohrn is so radical that she made the following comments after Charles Manson’s “Helter Skelter” slayings.

“Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach. Wild!”

Equally as disturbing and reminiscent of Reverend Wright’s remark about the United Stares being the “U.S. KKK of A,” Dohrn calls this country “AmeriKKKa.”

Ayers’ philosophy is no different. In the 1970s, he advised his followers, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents. That’s where it’s really at.”

Obama apologists will dismiss these sentiments as merely the follies of a misguided youth. But in his 2001 book, Fugitive Days, Ayers said of America, “What a country. It makes me want to puke.”

Similarly, when asked if he’d ever again consider bombing targets in the U.S., he responded, “I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility.”

Obviously, Ayers has no regrets about his terrorist past and, according to University of Chicago law professor Cass Sunstein, Ayers “refuses to disavow what he did.”

Ayers boasted in his 2001 book, “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. . . . There’s something about a good bomb.”

Of the 300 million people living in America, why would Obama announce his candidacy for the Illinois Senate in the home of William Ayers, and why would he continue his relationship with him into the future? That might be the biggest Obama bomb of all.

Muslims in fed terror probe making donations to Obama
Will candidate follow other Dems who gave back jihad-tied funds?


WorldNetDaily


Jamal M. Barzinji

Islamic leaders tied by federal investigators to the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America – including one under active investigation for alleged terror-financing – have recently donated to Sen. Barack Obama's campaign for president, according to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by WND.

Jamal M. Barzinji earlier this year gave Obama $1,000, a gift that records show has not been returned. Other Democratic candidates, including Rep. Jim Moran, have refunded donations from Barzinji since federal agents raided his Virginia home and offices in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.

Obama's top Muslim adviser resigned earlier this month over controversy surrounding his ties to an alleged Muslim Brotherhood front connected to Barzinji, who heads a network of Islamic charities and businesses.

Barzinji remains at the center of an active federal investigation into terrorist financing that involves recently convicted terrorist supporter Sami al-Arian. A grand jury is still hearing the widening case in Northern Virginia.

A federal court affidavit alleges "Barzinji is not only closely associated with PIJ (as evidenced by ties to al-Arian, including documents seized in Tampa), but also with Hamas." The Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or PIJ, and Hamas are two known terrorist groups outlawed by the U.S.

Barzinji in November 2000 was arrested and charged with domestic abuse and resisting arrest, according to Fairfax County Police Department criminal records.

Nancy Luque, a Washington-based lawyer for Barzinji, says her client does not support terrorism and that the government is conducting a witch hunt. Barzinji has not been charged with a crime in the years-long probe.

According to recently declassified FBI documents posted by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Barzinji and another board member of an Islamist think tank in Herndon, Va., were listed among "members and leaders of the IKHWAN."

(Story continues below)


The Ikhwan is an Arabic reference to the Muslim Brotherhood, which follows the credo: "The Quran is our constitution, the prophet is our guide; Death for the glory of Allah is our greatest ambition."

Osama bin Laden, his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and "blind sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman all belong to the Muslim Brotherhood.

U.S. prosecutors recently declassified an internal Ikhwan document outlining a long-term plan to infiltrate U.S. institutions and Islamize America.

Barzinji has met in the U.S. with key leaders of the Egyptian-based Brotherhood, but he told the Washington Post in 2004 that he and his colleagues abandoned links to them years ago. He said he helped persuade the Brothers to participate in elections as an alternative to armed struggle.

Barzinji noted, "It was one of our main contributions to the Ikhwan movement worldwide."

Democratic Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia was forced to return $3,750 in donations from Barzinji in 2002 after the donations were revealed in the press.

Barzinji donated $1,000 to Obama on Feb. 6 of this year – one day after his colleague Omer Totonji also donated $1,000 to his campaign. Totonji's father, Ahmad Totonji, also is a subject of the federal investigation. His Herndon, Va., home and offices were raided by agents after 9/11.

That same month, Omar Barzinji of Sterling, Va., contributed $500 to Obama's campaign. He works for Islamist publisher Amana Limited, whose offices also were searched after 9/11.

The Obama campaign, which did not return calls, was rocked earlier this month when its top Muslim adviser, Mazen Asbahi, had to step down over a firestorm surrounding his ties to an alleged Muslim Brotherhood front connected to Jamal Barzinji.

Asbahi, a Chicago lawyer, served on the board of an Illinois-based subsidiary to the North American Islamic Trust, or NAIT, recently named by federal prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in a major Hamas terror-financing case.

Barzinji was the former secretary of Saudi-funded NAIT, which controls hundreds of radical mosques in the U.S., including the Washington-area mosque connected to at least two of the 9/11 hijackers.

In fact, Barzinji's signature appears on the property deed to that mosque, the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, according to Paul Sperry, author of "Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives Have Penetrated Washington." Dar al-Hijrah is run by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Barzinji is listed in FEC records as a "board member" of the Islamic Society of North America, a sister organization to NAIT and also an unindicted terror co-conspirator.

Esam Omeish

Also, Dar al-Hijrah trustee Esam Omeish gave $250 to Obama the same month as Barzinji.

Omeish was forced to resign his government-appointed position to the Virginia Commssion of Immigration after a video surfaced showing him advocating violent jihad. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, a Democrat on Obama's short list for running mate, had named Omeish to the panel.

Omeish is president of the Alexandria, Va.-based Muslim American Society, which was founded by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood and is the representative of the Muslim Brotherhood in the U.S., according to recent testimony and evidence provided by FBI agent Lara Burns in the terror trial of the Holy Land Foundation.

According to Sperry in the book "Infiltration," Omeish in 2004 used his home to bond out a terrorist suspect jailed for allegedly casing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
