IV. Apprenticeship with Foundation-Funded Terrorists: Ayers and Dohrn 135
and Bernardine Dohrn. It is a group redolent of the foundations and thus of the left wing of the
intelligence community, and it will remain in place around Obama until the present day. Obama
was now preparing for his first run at elective political office. To do this, he needed a base of
activists, supporters, and donors. Obama’s pedigree will be clearly exhibited by the method by
which he chose to go about addressing this task. As we have already seen, Obama can be
considered as a product of the Ford Foundation and its associated satellite foundations. Obama’s
mother worked directly for the Ford Foundation. Obama himself worked for the Gamaliel
Foundation, a satellite of the Ford mother ship. This is his time as a “community organizer.”
Obama’s church was fully stocked with theologians whose careers had been promoted by the Ford
Foundation. Thus, we may say that Obama’s hardware configuration was largely due to the efforts
of the Ford Foundation and its satellites.
The software, as we have stressed, came largely from Zbigniew Brzezinski and his associates in
the Trilateral Commission-Bilderberger-New York Council on Foreign Relations orbit, who had
been training and indoctrinating Obama for almost one and a half decades at this point. Since many
traditional functions of the US intelligence community had been privatized into the world of front
companies and especially the foundations and nongovernmental organizations, we can for purposes
of brevity and clarity label the matrix of Obama’s software as the left wing of the intelligence
community, or the left CIA. This is the network to which Obama quite naturally and indeed
inevitably turned when the time came for him to run for the Illinois State Senate. Over time,
intelligence networks cannot be hidden, since the same persons often appear in radically different
roles. This means that their momentarily announced loyalties and purposes were spurious and
fictitious: what counted all along was their loyalty to the intelligence network to which they belong.
Obama wanted to represent that part of Southside Chicago which is called Hyde Park, a
neighborhood which is split between the comfortable homes of professors at the University of
Chicago on the one hand, and a brutal and impoverished black inner-city ghetto on the other. Hyde
Park is a neighborhood split by fault lines of racial tension. The political importance of the
University of Chicago for the US intelligence community can hardly be overestimated. The
University of Chicago’s troubled frontier with the black ghetto has been something of a concern to
the US ruling financier oligarchy for some time, since relations there have been so bad that the
university might have to move away, a colossally expensive project. A whole cottage industry of
academic-grade poverty pimps and foundation operatives has grown up to provide border guards for
the line of demarcation between the university and the ghetto. Those who succeed as border guards
and gatekeepers along this line are marked for preferment; the striving Obama power couple are one
example.
Another is Danielle Allen, who (like Bernardine Dohrn) has been the recipient of the largesse of
the MacArthur Foundation – in Allen’s case via a coveted genius grant, which is a program used to
promote philistine mediocrities to help dumb down the academic world, according to the general
program of the foundations. Allen has just become UPS Foundation Professor in the School of
Social Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey – she is the first black
fellow of that elite think tank, where the arch-oligarchical operative Bernard Lewis (a key apostle of
the Iraq war) also resides. Lately, Allen has been going on the radio, voicing shrill indignation over
internet attacks on the Redeemer. A recent puff piece on the postmodern Allen stresses her role as a
gatekeeper active in ‘the University of Chicago’s surrounding Hyde Park neighborhood, where
town and gown have a long history of ... “interracial distrust.”’ Allen, the article goes on to say,
learned in Hyde Park that ‘it was impossible to ignore the poor and often violent world not far from
campus. Hyde Park today is a racially mixed, mostly middle-class neighborhood, but you don’t
