98 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biography

In the week ending March 14, 2008, the American public came to know the intemperate
rhetorical outbursts of this Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of the Trinity United Church of
Christ which Obama and his family had by then been attending for some 20 years. It turned out that
videotapes and audiotapes of Reverend Wright’s incendiary sermons had long been available for
public sale, but that the controlled corporate media, had pooh-poohed any attempt to dig beneath
their favorite candidate’s messianic-utopian veneer, had not paid any attention to this mass of
damning material until the Obama candidacy had begun to falter after his loss of the Ohio and
Texas primaries. Until this time, only a limited number of taped sermons had been presented on
television, although some had been widely available on the Internet. During the critical week in
question, Brian Ross of ABC news was one of the first to present extensive excerpts from Reverend
Wright’s ranting performances. He was quickly followed by Hannity, O’Reilly, and Greta Van
Susteren, and then by CNN, followed by the diehard Obama hysterics at MSNBC. On March 14
2008, a media firestorm swirled around the increasingly daemonic figure of Reverend Jeremiah
Wright, prompting Obama to drop the ranting Reverend from a committee of spiritual advisers to
his campaign.


WRIGHT: “GOD DAMN AMERICA”


The culmination of Wright’s doctrine was this: “The government gives them the drugs, builds
bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no,
God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people.” “God damn America for
treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God
and she is supreme.” (2003) “God damn Wall Street” would have been above reproach. “God damn
Bush” would have gotten applause on any street. “God damn the CIA” would have been warmly
received in many quarters. But “God damn America,” is the subjunctive form of a wish that God
visit evil upon the American people, and that is quite another matter. “God damn” is considered a
form of blasphemy since it amounts to giving orders to God, telling God to hate. It shows that
Wright was not a Christian at all, but a purveyor of hate. If Obama says he got to Christ through
Wright, then he never got there, since Wright’s religion was a satanic cover story for Mammon and
Pluto. In this case, Obama never got to Christianity at all, and may well be a Satanist himself.


WRIGHT’S LEFT CIA BLOWBACK THEORY OF 9/11


Wright raved on and on: “We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more
than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported
state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because
the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s
chickens are coming home to roost.” (Sept. 16, 2001)^19


This is the CIA’s favorite blowback theory, most famously embraced by the ex-Weatherman
bomb expert and sometime professor at the University of Colorado Ward Churchill. Churchill
called the 9/11 victims “little Eichmanns,” and argued that those who did not embrace the official
myth of 9/11 complete with the 19 hijackers, Mohammed Atta, Osama bin Laden, Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed, and Ramzi Binalshib were in fact racists who were seeking to deny that the Arabs
were after all capable of great things. Ward Churchill taught the pseudo-revolutionary provocateur
group the Weathermen how to make bombs and fire weapons, according to a Fox News report
citing the Jan. 18, 1987 issue of the Denver Post. The revelation is among many reported since
Churchill prompted a national furor with publicity over an essay he wrote entitled “Some People
