330 Barack H. Obama: The Unauthorized Biographythe direction of justice.” At the event, Senator Obama was introduced and endorsed by former U.S.
Senator Harris Wofford (D-PA), former Associate Director of the Peace Corps and former Special
Assistant to the President for Civil Rights during the Kennedy Administration. Wofford was
instrumental in the formation of the Peace Corps, played a key role in crafting and passing the
legislation that led to the creation of AmeriCorps and Senator, and currently serves as an advisor to
ServeNext.’ Senator Obama’s plan would ...would: expand AmeriCorps from its current 75,000
slots to 250,000 slots, enabling the program to establish five new Corps that address some of
America’s most pressing challenges: Classroom Corps, Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps,
Veterans Corps, and Homeland Security Corps;. engage retiring Americans in service on a large
scale by expanding and improving Senior Corps, VISTA and other programs that connect
individuals over the age of 55 to volunteer opportunities; double the size of the Peace Corps from
7,800 volunteers to 16,000 by its 50th anniversary in 2011 and work to partner volunteers with
people from other nations; establish an America’s Voice Initiative to recruit and train Americans
that are fluent speakers of local languages to bolster our public diplomacy efforts abroad; and create
a national online network, modeled on Craigslist, to connect volunteers to service and donation
opportunities.’^177 All of these formations could easily acquire paramilitary overtones, with obvious
implications for postmodern fascist developments. The Homeland Security Corps was an especially
sinister plan that deserved relentless scrutiny and wife exposure.
OBAMA’S FREIWILLIGER ARBEITSDIENST
Not content with this Obama also demanded measures accomplish the following: ‘establish a
goal of having middle and high-schoolers contribute at least 50 hours a week to community service,
and reach that goal through national guidelines for service-learning and additional resources for
schools to develop successful programs; Connect disadvantaged youth to service opportunities and
a pathway to success through the creation of Green Job Corps and the expansion of Youth Build
from 8,000 slots today to 50,000 slots over the next eight years; Create a new American
Opportunity Tax Credit to ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for
Americans willing to complete 100 hours of public service a year; Promote College Serve-Study by
immediately increasing the percentage of Federal Work-Study Program funding that goes to
community service jobs from 7 percent to 25 percent, and helping colleges and universities reach a
goal of 50 percent of serve-study over time; Expand the capacity of the nonprofit sector by
establishing a Social Investment Fund Network to provide R&D capital to encourage innovation,
find out what works, and expand successful programs to scale across the country; Create a Social
Entrepreneurship Agency to enable nonprofits to build capacity through improved collaborations
with government. (“Obama to Issue Call to Serve, Vow to Make National Service Important Cause
of His Presidency,” World socialist web site, December 5th, 2007) In his speech on national service
on July 2, 2008 at the University of Colorado, Obama promised that as president he would “set a
goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year, and for
all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year.” Underneath the edifying service
verbiage was the clear intent to prepare a form of compulsory service for the benefit of the bankrupt
Wall Street financiers, which might then kick over into outright forced labor through the use of food
control and other expedients as the depression worsened. Obama’s youthful dupes do not know it,
but there is a future of involuntary servitude waiting for them, be it armed with a rifle or a shovel.
Here, their fervent idealism would be ground into powder in the service of Wall Street greed.
