IV. Apprenticeship with Foundation-Funded Terrorists: Ayers and Dohrn 173it turns out the impact of the Annenberg Challenge on actual students in Chicago schools is
considered mixed at best, although Bill Ayers deemed it a success on political grounds. Indeed the
1995 and 1999 legislative attempts to recentralize power over the schools in the hands of the mayor
did not quite succeed in wrestling control completely away from the LSCs, instead it helped, in the
words of Alexander Russo, “keep the flame alive for decentralized, community-based school reform
- even as the system was moving in a very different direction.”’ (Steve Diamond, ‘Who “sent”
Obama?’ globallabor.blogspot.com, April 22, 2008) Of course, Obama came from much farther
way – he came from the Trilateral Commission and the worldwide Bilderberger Group.
ABC DEBATE: OBAMA’S BLATANT LIES ABOUT
“ENGLISH PROFESSOR” BILL AYERS
On April 16, 2008, ABC News in the person of Charles Gibson and George Stephanopoulos
hosted a debate in advance of the Pennsylvania Democratic primary. This debate stood out from
more than a score of previous debates because of the refusal of the moderators to capitulate to the
blackmail of the Obamakins and their demand that the Perfect Master be given a free ride. Since
this was the first debate since the explosion of the Jeremiah Wright “God Damn America”
controversy, Obama was asked about his relations with Wright. Obama went into serpentine
contortions in response, at one point affirming that he had “disavowed” Wright, only to have to
backtrack and specify that he had only disavowed the hate-monger’s incendiary statements. Most
offensive to the Obama acolytes was Stephanopoulos’ query about Obama’s relations with the
deranged Weatherman terrorist bomber-provocateur, Bill Ayers. In response, the Perfect Master had
disappeared into a cloud of stuttering, stammering, and tergiversation. On these and other questions
regarding his personal associations and his character, Obama was exposed as a desperate
demagogue running away from most of his own past, while testily harrumphing that the inquiries
were irrelevant. This was network television, and the audience for this debate was by the far largest
of any debate of the 2007-2008 cycle, with 10.7 million viewers, some 96% of whom stayed until
the end. This was in many cases their first exposure to Obama, and they were treated to the
epiphany of a scoundrel.
We can argue that Bill Ayers and his charming consort Bernardine Dohrn, along with Tony
Rezko and the Jeremiah Wright TUCC crowd, represent Obama’s closest and most intimate circle
of backers, sponsors, benefactors, and cronies. Obama was thus lying big time in the Philadelphia
debate when Stephanopoulos asked him about Ayers and the Perfect Master massively played down
the nature of his symbiosis with the Weatherman leader and his pasionaria. As Diamond notes,
‘This likely explains why Obama tried a kind of head fake when asked about Ayers by George
Stephanopoulos in the TV debate with Clinton prior to the Pennsylvania primary. Obama said Ayers
was a “professor of English.” Yet, Obama chaired the Annenberg Challenge for three years and
served on its board for another three years, working closely with Ayers on grants to Chicago
schools. And he did not know that Ayers was a professor of education? That strains credulity.

BILL AYERS IN OBAMA’S KITCHEN CABINET
Diamond summed up: ‘The Chicago Annenberg Challenge allowed Barack Obama and Bill
Ayers to work together, no doubt closely, in the heat of political battle to help disburse more than
$100 million to allies, particularly in the LSCs, in the Chicago School system. Under the
circumstances, it seems more than a bit disingenuous of Senator Obama to dismiss Bill Ayers as
