58 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biographybeen indicted, Askew would have been rushed into the breach to take his place. Since the spare
candidate or fallback option needed had to be a relatively prominent public figure, it is virtually
impossible to conceal the fact that an understudy is waiting in the wings. The existence of Patrick
as Obama’s virtual twin is therefore of critical importance for the argument that Obama is in fact a
Manchurian candidate created and controlled by the Trilateral commission and its allies.
The parallels are indeed striking, starting with the fact that both Obama and Patrick are fatherless
boys who are therefore susceptible to seeing a powerful institution or authority figure as an ersatz
father. Patrick was born on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, into an African-American family
living on welfare in a two-bedroom slum apartment. In 1959, his father Laurdine “Pat” Patrick, a
member of jazz musician Sun Ra’s band, deserted Deval, his mother, and his sister in order to
pursue his music career in New York City, where he had fathered a daughter by another woman.
Deval’s relationship with his father, like Obama’s, was a lamentable one. Deval was in middle
school when he was picked up by a foundation called A Better Chance, a national non-profit
organization for identifying, recruiting, co-opting, and developing leaders among smart black
students. Thanks to this foundation backing, Deval was able to attend the exclusive, costly, and elite
Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts – a local prep school equivalent to Obama’s Punahou
School in Hawaii. Patrick graduated from Milton Academy in 1974, and from Harvard College in
- At Harvard, Patrick was co-opted into the ultra-elitist Fly Club, Harvard’s answer to Yale’s
Skull and Bones secret society. He then spent a year working for the United Nations in Africa. In
1979, Patrick enrolled in Harvard Law School. While in law school, Patrick was elected president
of the Legal Aid Bureau; Obama would top that by becoming the editor of the law review. Patrick
got his first job defending poor families in Middlesex County, Massachusetts – similar to Obama’s
apprenticeship as a community organizing counter-insurgency operative. Patrick’s wife, like
Obama’s, is an upwardly mobile member of the black affirmative-action overclass.
OBAMA DISCREDITED IN MASSACHUSETTS,
NEW HAMPSHIRE, RHODE ISLAND
Patrick spoiled Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island (where the television comes
from Boston) for Obama’s future chances by his blatant nepotism and greedy rapacity in office. He
spent $11,000 on drapery for the governor’s state house suite, changed the governor’s car from a
Crown Victoria to a Cadillac, and hired a chief of staff for his wife at an annual salary of almost
$75,000. He commandeered a state helicopter for his private use. Patrick lavished all this on himself
while demanding austerity and service cuts for the people, as Obama is also sure to do. Patrick was
also remarkably corrupt: he placed a call to Citigroup Executive Committee chair Robert Rubin on
behalf of the financially beleaguered mortgage company Ameriquest, a subsidiary of ACC Capital
Holdings, of which Patrick is a former board member. Patrick later attempted to lie his way out of
this predicament with the absurd claim that he was calling not as governor but as a private citizen.
When this ploy failed, the skewered Patrick plaintively confessed: “I appreciate that I should not
have made the call. I regret the mistake.”
Patrick, like Jeremiah Wright, was a devotee of the blowback theory of the 9/11 terrorist attacks,
a hallmark of left CIA sponsorship. On the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 events on September 11,
2007, Patrick declaimed: “It was a mean and nasty and bitter attack on the United States. But it was
also about the failure of human beings to understand each other and to learn to love each other. It
seems to me that lesson of that morning is something that we must carry with us every day.” In
