XI: Obama as Social Fascist 413galloping hyperinflation, the breakdown of internal order, institutional dissolution, military defeat
abroad, civil war, and social chaos under a possible Obama regime.
A WEATHERMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE?
Character is destiny. Biography is destiny. We have no crystal ball to predict the detailed
evolution of a future Obama regime; we have nothing but the certainty that it will be a disaster.
Obama is drawn to his terrorist friends Ayers and Dohrn not just because he needs their money,
their network support, and their access to foundation funding. Obama is close to Ayers and Dohrn
because he genuinely finds them congenial, not just at the level of small talk and parenting, but
rather at the level of the deepest psychological affinities and philosophical commitments which a
person like Obama is capable of. The terrorist Weathermen, during their heroic or terrorist phase,
were the most concentrated expression of the class hatred for American working people on the part
of the financier elites and their dupes and retainers in affluent suburbia. The Weatherman outlook
had passed far beyond the cynical hypocrisy of a Nixon to attain a cynical nihilism that was fascist
in every way. Ayers and Dohrn expressed this hatred with their bombs, with their praise of Manson,
with their fork salutes. Ward Churchill, another Weatherman who figures in the lives of Ayers and
Dohrn, expressed the same hatred with his desire for the annihilation of the United States from the
planet. James Cone, the teacher of Wright, acted out this hatred with his fervent prayer for a god
who would kill white people. All of these figures are the provocateurs and ideologues of a dying
imperialism in the process of transforming itself into a death cult. This is the outlook which Barack
Hussein Obama, with his background in Rousseauvian anthropology, diluted Marxism, Nietzschean
protofascism, postmodernist rejection of reality, and Fanon’s existentialist worship of violence,
finds in himself. This is why he can so successfully read from the Teleprompter the fascist rantings
composed by his Goebbels detachment, Axelrod and Favreau. This is why Obama talks like a
fascist and is a fascist in the tradition of the young Mussolini, and why, with the help of Trilateral-
Bilderberger media, money, and networks, he has already gone far towards assembling a fascist
mass movement (or reasonable media facsimile thereof) around himself.
So, if we want to know his real program of government, we need to go back to the last
Weatherman war council in Michigan, before the townhouse blew up and before they all went into
clandestine safe houses. We need to recall the speech by Ted Gold, the leader of the Mad Dog
faction, who had only a few months left before he would blow himself into eternity in his
Greenwich Village bomb factory. As we have noted, Gold said in 1969 that the Weatherman
program was that “an agency of the people of the world” would be set up to run the U.S. economy
and society after the defeat of U.S. imperialism abroad. Today that would be an agency directed by
people like Soros, the Rockefellers, and the other Wall Street financial parasites. They would say
that the savage austerity, the declining standards of living, the growing immiseration, the
strangulation of production, are all in the name of solidarity and aid for the developing countries.
They would probably add something about global warming, climate change, the polar bears, and the
ice caps at the North Pole to explain to people why their starving children have no health care.
But Gold’s perspective, it will be remembered, was too much even for some of those attending
that last Weatherman debate more than forty years ago.
“Well,” replied Gold, “If it will take fascism, we’ll have to have fascism.”
This, we submit, is the best guide we have to Obama’s intentions. His best friends in life have
been Weatherman terrorists, genuine murderers, practitioners of purgative violence in the tradition
of Nietzsche’s blond beast. Or else they have been professional paid haters kept in business by the
