CHAPTER II: COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY AND
RECRUITMENT BY ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI
... the intelligence community has deposited provocateurs in at least some of our schools so that
the conditions necessary for learning have been, through the ensuing turmoil, destroyed. –
Vincent J. Salandria, 1971.Obama was fortunate enough to enjoy some very special educational opportunities. These
opportunities were not due to any special intellectual ability or capacity for hard work on the part of
our future candidate. They were rather due to the fact that his mother by now had become an
important operative for the Ford Foundation, and the foundation community takes care of its own
because of the obvious advantages of recruiting from households in which the oligarchical,
multicultural, and postmodern values of the foundation world are assumed as axiomatic. Obama’s
mother and grandparents clearly did everything they could to advance his upward mobility through
schooling, and this paid off when he was accepted into the most exclusive prep school in Hawaii.
Because of Obama’s much-advertised racial identity, there can also be no doubt that preferential
admissions for minorities based on affirmative action must also have played a significant role.
Obama is therefore not the product of a meritocracy or a career open to talents; he is rather the fruit
of special treatment meted out under the aegis of minority quotas favored by the foundation world
as the keystone of their strategy for keeping the American people so fragmented as to perpetuate
oligarchical financier rule. If we need to generalize about Obama, we can say that his hardware was
provided by the Ford Foundation and its various lesser foundation satellites, while his software was
added later through his association with the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberger Group in
the person of Zbigniew Brzezinski, the evil genius of the Jimmy Carter administration of 1977-
- To these phases of Obama’s story we now turn.
ELITIST PREPPY AT THE PUNAHOU SCHOOL OF HAWAII
When Obama was ten years old, his mother Ann sent him back to Honolulu to live with his
maternal grandparents so he could attend the prestigious Punahou School, an elite and exclusive
prep school whose alumni also include America Online founder Steve Case: ‘“Ann saw first of all
that he was so bright that he needed to come and really be challenged by a good school,” says Benji
Bennington, 73, the retired curator of the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii. Dunham
also hoped that “maybe he’d meet a few blacks while here, because he was not meeting them in
Jakarta.” The family was reunited about a year later when Dunham separated from Soetero and
returned to Honolulu for graduate school.’ “He was very much the patriarch as a young person,”
says sister Maya. “Our mother was incredibly strong but also incredibly sensitive. She would cry
easily. He was always protective of her.” When Dunham moved back to Jakarta for her
anthropology field work, Barack saw his mother and half-sister only for Christmas and summer
break.’ (Kim Chipman, Bloomberg, op. cit.)
Obama entered the fifth grade at Punahou and stayed there until he graduated from high school
with honors in 1979. He reports that he was one of three black students at the school, although there
were many Asians and Pacific islanders. Obama’s Dreams from My Father provides incidents of
Obama’s feeling of racial humiliation while attending this school and chronicles his embrace of a
specific black or African-American racial identity as a matter of his own deliberate and conscious
choice. This path of development may be compared with Hitler’s discovery of his own Germanic
