Document drop: Breaking: DOJ Inspector General will investigate Obama Voting Rights Record
By Michelle Malkin • September 13, 2010 04:27 PM
Just obtained this letter from Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine to members of Congress informing them that he will open up a review of the Obama administration’s selective enforcement of civil rights laws by the Voting Section office of DOJ.
Big news. Good news. Fine is a veteran IG whose meticulous work I cited in-depth in Invasion. You know how the Obama bully boys have treated IGs. Prayers for Fine would be most appropriate.

Confessions from the Bound
Be it known that I, Arlen Williams, am spending the great bulk of my Internet publishing time with my illustrious associates at Gulag Bound. Please think of GB as subsuming the work already done here at I.O. Indeed, the problems of Barack Obama being in the White House extend far beyond that focal point and so it is necessary to address the bigger picture.
Now, you are not asked to abandon I.O. and neither will I. The blogrolls in the Sidebar alone, are worth frequent visits -- for you I hope, as well as for me. However, posts made here will be sporadic; just telling you, if you haven't already ascertained.
Here is another sample taken from the RSS feed into the "I am Gulag Bound" page linked in the above menu. I think this list makes the point:

Rep. Darrell Issa: Obama Using White House for Unlawful Propaganda Campaign
Reported in WorldNetDaily:
Scathing Congress Report Slams Obama's 'Covert, Criminal Activity'
President charged with illegally using taxpayer money to manipulate public
Posted: August 16, 2010
12:01 am Eastern
By Jerome R. Corsi
© 2010 WorldNetDaily
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a scathing staff report today charging that the White House has "used the machinery of the Obama campaign to tout the president's agenda through inappropriate and sometimes unlawful public relations and propaganda initiatives."
An advance pre-publication copy of the report, shared by Issa's Washington office with WND, accuses the White House of nothing short of criminal activity. It charges the Obama administration with violating federal laws to advance what the Government Accounting Office has characterized as an unlawful "covert campaign," using federal resources "to activate a sophisticated propaganda and lobbying campaign."

CNN Reports on the ‘Birther Myth’ on Barry’s Birthday
And they cite the funky "COLB" and the newspaper listing (as if there were would be no reason for dishonest people to claim U.S. Citizenship, if there were not, for the babe).
Posted: August 4th, 2010 11:25 AM ETFrom CNN Political Producer Shannon Travis
President Obama’s birth certificate (left) has been certified authentic by the Republican governor of Hawaii. His birth announcement (right) appeared in print in 1961. (PHOTO CREDIT: State of Hawaii)
Washington (CNN) - It's surely not what the leader of the free world wants for his birthday. But, for a stubborn group of Americans, conspiracy theories about President Obama's birthplace are the gifts that keep on giving.
The president celebrates his 49th birthday Wednesday. On the same day, a new national poll indicates some Americans continue to doubt the president was born in the United States. According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, more than a quarter of the public have doubts about Obama's citizenship, with 11 percent saying Obama was definitely not born in the United States and another 16 percent saying the president was probably not born in the country.
Forty-two percent of those questioned say they have absolutely no doubts that the president was born in the U.S., while 29-percent say he "probably" was.
...the rest of their entry (emphasis, I.O.)....
Now, what about that Article II, natural born Citizen requirement, CNN?
By the way, by this survey, it may be said that at least 58% of the American People are unwilling to flatly state that Barack Obama is eligible to be United States President.

'No Passport for you, Birther!'
...barked the Obama Documentation Nazi.
The State Department seems conflicted -- all in a stew. The subject: Barack Obama's mother's passport records, from the time he was born.
Explains Jerome Corsi:
Oops! Obama mama passport 'destroyed' Last week, in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the State Department released passport records of Stanley Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother - but those records for the years surrounding Obama's 1961 birth are missing. Read the latest now on WND.com.
The claim made in the FOIA response letter that many passport records were destroyed during the 1980s comes despite a statement on the State Department website that claims Passport Services maintains U.S. passport records for passports issued from 1925 to the present.Hey, could this missing information have something to do with the 2008 State Department Passport Office break-in -- and the subsequent murder of apparent informant, Lt. Quarles Harris Jr.?
Just a question, don'cha know.
Records, records. Those Dunham/Obama records are such furtive and elusive (illusory-sp?) things. Maybe BHO was born in the realm of Faerie.
That's it! And maybe all those crazy 2008 votes were made under the influence of pixie dust, dropped from airliner contrails.

Calling Obama a Socialist Concerns Dictionary.com
Did you know Dictionary.com had a blog? Here is their July 5th entry: "How do your ideas of 'socialism' & 'democracy' compare to definitions?"
And here is an excerpt.
Now, let’s pause for a moment. Is there a word that has recently provoked more animus and inspired a wider range of usage than socialism? Somewhere, at this moment, a fastidious student of language and politics is probably collating the myriad utterances of this word since President Obama’s inauguration, trying to find some strand of logic. If you’re reading this, hypothetical scholar, drop us a line and we’ll send you a Dictionary.com mug as a token of our admiration.
So, let's drop them a few polite lines and explain. Think they really will give us their gift?

"Yes, Virginia," they are socialists, but "Marxist" is even more apt.

Elena Kagan's Marxism - Part 2, by Trevor Loudon
Obama File 106 Obama's Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan's Socialist Associations (the Middle Years)
- by Trevor Loudon, New Zeal
President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has a history of association with people tied to three interrelated organizations, the Communist Party USA, Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee/Democratic Socialists of America and the far left Washington DC "think tank" Institute for Policy Studies.
My last post looked at the radicals Kagan associated with during her college years at Princeton.
This post looks at two of Elena Kagan's employers post college, Congressman/Judge/White House official Abner Mikva and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall.
From 1986 to 1987 Elena Kagan worked as a Judicial Clerk for , Hon. Abner Mikva in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Usually regarded as a "liberal' or "progressive", Mikva in fact has a long history with the far left, in both Washington DC and his Chicago base.
Abner Mikva worked with Communist Party supporters like Elias Snitzer and Sid Socolar, during his time at the University of Chicago Law School in the late 1940s.
From 1947 Mikva practiced labor law in Chicago in partnership with with Arthur Goldberg, general counsel for the communist dominated Congress of Industrial Organizations and the United Steelworkers of America.
Arthur Goldberg sponsored several Communist Party fronts in Chicago . These included the Chicago Conference on Race Relations, the Conference on Constitutional Liberties in America and the National Emergency Conference. Goldberg was also president of the Chicago chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, accurately cited by Congressional investigators as "the foremost legal bulwark of the Communist Party".
Arthur Goldberg was later appointed to the Supreme Court by President Lyndon Johnson.
In the 1950s Mikva and his wife Zoe Mikva, both worked with another communist infiltrated organization, the American Civil Liberties Union.
In the 1960s when first standing for Congress in South Chicago, Mikva worked closely with radical community organizer Saul Alinsky, a man to whom, President Obama owes a considerable intellectual debt.
Mikva also worked closely with two radical journalists who ran the Hyde Park - Kenwood Voices newspaper. Don Rose and his partner, Communist Party member David S. Canter would become key Chicago power brokers. One who they personally mentored and promoted was a young journalist named David Axelrod - later Barack Obama's key campaign strategist and now senior White House adviser.
During the 1980s. Mikva was very close to the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC- a place where leftist Democrats and the occasional "liberal" Republican, mingled with socialists, communists, third world revolutionaries and East Bloc "diplomats".
Abner Mikva attended the organization's 20th anniversary celebrations on April 5, 1983 - he was obligated really, as his wife Zoe personally organized the affair.
Abner Mikva, was one of Barack Obama's early admirers, beginning in 1990 when he tried to hire the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review, for a clerkship. Obama turned Mikva down, saying he was going to move to Chicago and run for public office.
Mikva was later close to both Barack Obama and Elena Kagan at the Chicago Law School where they all taught during the mid 1990s. Mikva acted as a mentor to Obama during his early political career.
Through all this, Abner and Zoe Mikva never forgot their Chicago communist and socialist friends.
"Ab & Zoe Mikva" sent the message "Hooray for Progressives" to the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America 44th Annual Eugene V. Debs - Norman Thomas - Michael Harrington Dinner, May 10, 2002.
In 2006 Abner Mikva served on a committee to honor the life of Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights founder, Frank Wilkinson, a forty year Communist Party veteran turned Democratic Socialists of America comrade.
Serving on the Committee (though not all pictured below) with Mikva were Obama friends , mentors and D.S.A. members Quentin Young, Timuel Black and Congressman Danny Davis, plus current or former Communist Party supporters Joan Elbert, Ruth Emerson, Yolanda Hall, Peggy Lipschutz, Bea Lumpkin, Frank Lumpkin, Harold Rogers, Norman Roth, Emile Schepers and Tim Yeager.
The National Lawyers Guild - Chicago chapter, was also represented.
In 1987 - 1988 Elena Kagan worked as a Judicial Clerk for Hon. Thurgood Marshall in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Though sometimes mistakenly identified as an anti - communist, Thurgood Marshall, had a radical past.
At the all Black, Lincoln University in Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 1930s, Marshall's classmates included future socialist President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah and poet and author Langston Hughes, later a close associate and fellow Communist Party comrade of Barack Obama's teenage mentor Frank Marshall Davis.
In 1946, according to communist linked historian Herbert Shapiro, Marshall was saved from a probable lynching near Columbia Tennessee, by a passenger in his car - Communist Party journalist Harry Raymond.
In the late 1940's Thurgood Marshall was active in the leadership of at least two Communist Party infiltrated organizations, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Lawyers Guild - in which he served on the National Executive, representing New York.
Other New York members of the N.L.G. National Executive in 1949, included Communist Party members Leonard Boudin, Lee Pressman, Henry (Harry) Sacher and Abraham Unger.
Lee Pressman was a fully fledged Soviet spy, a member of the famous Ware Group which had operated inside the U.S. government, before and during WW2.
Leonard Boudin's daughter Kathie Boudin, studied at Moscow University in 1966, before becaming a leader of the terrorist Weather Underground Organization, with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn. After Boudin was jailed for her part in a botched 1981 robbery, which left three men dead, her son Chesa Boudin was raised by Ayers and Dohrn.
It is likely that Barack Obama would have met Chesa Boudin through his friendship with Ayers and and Dohrn.
In 1959, Kenyan independence activist and labor unionist Tom Mboya visited the U.S. and met Thurgood Marshall. Mboya was so impressed with Marshall that he invited him to Kenya to help draft a new constitution for independent Kenya.
Marshall visited Kenya in 1960 on Mboya's invitation to attend a conference. His visit however didn't impress the British and the Americans authorities, who considered him a radical. Under pressure from the British, the Kenyans barred Marshall from attending the conference.
However, it is Marshall's friendship with Mboya that is credited with a wave of Kenyan students coming to the U.S. for further studies, beginning in the 1960s.
One of these, a Marxist economist named Barak Obama, studied in Hawaii, where he met 18 year old Stanley Ann Dunham, with whom he fathered a future president of the United States.
In 1965 President Lyndon Johnson appointed Judge Thurgood Marshall to the office of U.S. Solicitor General. He was nomination to the United States Supreme Court in 1967.
Elena Kagan spent her youth in New York and Princeton mixing with people linked to the Communist Party, Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee/Democratic Socialists of America and the Institute for Policy Studies.
Elena Kagan's first two employers, Abner Mikva and Thurgood Marshall also had similar connections.
Now Kagan has been nominated to the Supreme Court by a President with similar affiliations.
Is there a pattern here?

Canter would become key Chicago power brokers.

In April 1975, the Communist Party controlled Chicago Peace Council convened a "National conference for a drastic cutback in military spending" in the "Windy City"
- The purpose of the National Conference is to mount a national campaign and a vigorous program of action which will speak to the hundreds of thousands who were part of the inspiring resistance to the war in Indo- China. The people of the U.S. can and must turn this country around.
During the 1980s. Mikva was very close to the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington DC- a place where leftist Democrats and the occasional "liberal" Republican, mingled with socialists, communists, third world revolutionaries and East Bloc "diplomats".

ALERT - Elena Kagan's Marxism - First in a Series, by Trevor Loudon
Obama File 105 "A Pattern of Socialist Associations" - Obama's Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan (the Early Years)
- by Trevor Loudon, New Zeal
President Barack Obama's nomination to the U.S. Supreme court, Elena Kagan, has been sold to the public as a "moderate" - yes, a little liberal leaning, but moderate none the less.
In this first of a series of posts, I look at Elena Kagan's patterns of association.
If Elena Kagan is a moderate, why then has she long associated with people connected to three interrelated organizations - the Communist Party USA, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee/ Democratic Socialists of America and the far left Washington D.C. think tank, Institute for Policy Studies?
Raised on New Yorks' Upper West Side, Elena Kagan's parents were both politically active in a place and era where politics was dominated by the Democratic, Socialist and Communist parties.
Elena's mother Gloria Kagan campaigned to elect far left Democratic Congressman, William Fitts Ryan. Her older brother Marc Kagan was active in the socialist influenced New Directions movement in the Transport Workers Union. When one of its leaders, Roger Toussaint, was elected union president in 2000, Mr. Kagan became his chief of staff, until a falling out occurred in 2003.
Marc Kagan's former comrade and boss, Roger Toussaint is prominent in the communist initiated Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, which now led by D.S.A. member William Lucy. He also serves in the leadership of the Center for the Study of Working Class Life at Stony Brook University, alongside Ray Markey from the Communist Party offshoot Committees of Correspondence and D.S.A. leaders Gerry Hudson, Mark Levinson, Stanley Aronowitz and Frances Fox Piven, co-originator of the infamous Cloward - Piven Strategy.
Elena Kagan would later dedicate her Princeton history thesis on socialism in New York City to her activist brother.
I would like to thank my brother Marc whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism and in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas.Kagan first became interested in politics in high school and worked as a legislative intern for Rep. Ted Weiss, a Democrat from New York, during the summer of 1978, and as deputy press secretary for Rep. Liz Holtzman in the summer after her junior year.
The late Ted Weiss was very far to the left. In 1978 Congressmen Ted Weiss, John Burton, Ron Dellums (D.S.A. member), John Conyers (D.S.A. supporter) , Don Edwards, Charles Rangel and others, attended a meeting organized for the Soviet front World Peace Council on Capitol Hill.
W.P.C. delegation members included President Romesh Chandra (Communist Party of India), KGB Colonel Radomir Bogdanov and Oleg Kharkhardin of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union International Department.
In 1981 another World Peace Council delegation led by Romesh Chandra toured the U.S. to publicize the "nuclear freeze" then being promoted by Leonid Brezhnev.
This group met with several far left Congressmen at the Capitol, including Weiss, John Conyers, George Crockett, Ron Dellums, Don Edwards and Mervyn Dymally.
During one of the meetings in these Congressmen's offices an official of the Communist Party USA reportedly was present and made a speech recommending that the "peace movement" unite in supporting the cause of several terrorist groups including the PLO and the communist guerillas in EI Salvador
Weiss was also close to the Institute for Policy Studies. In 1983 I.P.S. celebrated its 20th anniversary with an April 5, reception at the National Building Museum attended by approximately 1,000 I.P.S. staffers and former staff.
The Congressional I.P.S. committee members included Ted Weiss, Philip Burton , George Crockett, Ron Dellums , Tom Harkin and Leon Panetta, later appointed by President Obama to head the Central Intelligence Agency.
Liz Holtzman is also way left of center. In the late 1980s and early 1980's the Marxist based Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, or D.S.O.C. (later to become Democratic Socialists of America, or D.S.A.) was highly influential inside the New York Democratic Party and city government - even Mayor David Dinkins was a member.
On August 6 1993, a rally to commemorate Hiroshima Day was held in Dag Hammarskjold Park, New York. The rally was designed "to kickoff a national campaign to collect a million signatures supporting a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, commend president Clinton for extending the nuclear testing moratorium, urge renewal of the Non Proliferation Treaty, urge swift and complete nuclear disarmament."
The event was sponsored by the radical Metro New York Peace Action Council.
Speakers included Liz Holtzman, then NYC Comptroller, leftist Congressmen Charles Rangel and Edolphus Towns, Leslie Cagan of Committees of Correspondence and the Cuba Information Project, Congressmen Major Owens (D.S.A. member) and Jerry Nadler (D.S.O.C. member) NYC City Councilor Ruth Messinger (D.S.O.C./ D.S.A. member) and David McReynolds, a leader of the Socialist Party USA and also a D.S.A. member.
Nearly 5 years later, in March 1998, McReynolds delivered a eulogy at a memorial service for Chicago D.S.A. activist Saul Mendelson. Fellow D.S.A. comrades Carl Marx Shier and Deborah Meier also spoke, as did then Illinois State Senator Barack Obama.
At Princeton Elena Kagan’s political beliefs emerged in an opinion piece she wrote for the Daily Princetonian a few weeks after Ronald Reagan's victorious 1980 election night. Kagan described her disappointment at Liz Holtzman’s Congressional loss (Kagan had worked on her campaign) and her own "liberal views". “I absorbed ... liberal principles early,” she said. “More to the point, I have retained them fairly intact to this day.”
In the column, Kagan also expressed her despair the state of the political left at the time, bemoaning the lack of “real Democrats — not the closet Republicans that one sees so often these days” and the success of “anonymous but Moral Majority-backed ... avengers of ‘innocent life’ and the B-1 Bomber, these beneficiaries of a general turn to the right and a profound disorganization on the left.”
At Princeton, Elena Kagan's law school room mate was Sarah Walzer, the daughter of Princeton social sciences professor Michael Walzer.
Coincidentally Michael Walzer was a leader of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee, both nationally and on campus..
In 1990 Michael Walzer was identified as a member of Democratic Socialists of America.
Professor Walzer was also upset at Ronald Reagan's famous victory
Daily Princetonian, March 4, 1981In her undergraduate thesis at Princeton entitled "To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933," Kagan lamented the decline of socialism in the country as "sad" for those who still hope to "change America." She asked why the "greatness" of socialism was not reemerging as a major political force:
In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism's glories than of socialism's greatness. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nation's established parties?"Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness,” she wrote in her thesis. “Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation.”
Kagan called the story of the socialist movement’s demise “a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialism’s decline, still wish to change America ... In unity lies their only hope.”
Elena Kagan spent a year working on her 1981 thesis, under the direction of Princeton historian Sean Wilentz.
When news of the thesis recently sparked controversy, Wilentz came out in defense of his former student.
Said Wilentz "sympathy for the movement of people who were trying to better their lives isn’t something to look down on... Studying something doesn’t necessarily mean that you endorse it. It means you’re into it. That’s what historians do...
Elena Kagan is about the furthest thing from a socialist. Period. And always had been. Period."Few would be more qualified to identify a socialist than Sean Wilentz
In May 1980, Princeton University's Progressive Forum sponsored a May Day rally opposite the Firestone Library. An advertisement for the event in the Daily Princetonian, "Workers of Princeton unite for a May Day rally" named speakers as Sean Wilentz and Stanley Aronowitz - a prominent D.S.A. leader
Daily Princetonian, May 1, 1980Today Sean Willentz serves on the board of Dissent magazine, which is effectively a mouthpiece for Democratic Socialists of America.
Dissent's masthead is Marxist heavy and lists several well known D.S.A. affiliates including the late Irving Howe, Joanne Barkan, David Bensman, Mitchell Cohen, Maxine Phillips, Mark Levinson, Bogdan Denitch, Erazim Kohak, Deborah Meier, Harold Meyerson, Jo-Ann Mort, Carol O'Clearicain (NYC Finance Commissioner under David Dinkins) and Cornel West - a member of Barack Obama's 2008 Black Advisory Council.
One of Dissent's two editors is Elena Kagan's old room mate's Dad, Michael Walzer.
The other is Michael Kazin, an historian of the Communist Party and a veteran of the 1969 Venceremos Brigade to Cuba.
At Princeton, Elena Kagan won a fellowship to Oxford University, in England, where she studied “the history of British and European trade unionism.”
President Obama himself, has a long history with Democratic Socialists of America.
Is it possible that Elena Kagan shares similar associations?
Should she be asked some questions on the subject?
