Hawaii Five 0 was Popular when "Barry 0" was ''Popular'' !

A woman who claims to be a former childhood friend of President Barack Obama has spoken out about the president's past in an exclusive interview published nine days ago, by the web news site, the emaminer.com.  Mia Marie Pope spoke by telephone with Dr James Manning on November 4th, and her story should be heard by everyone.  Pope gave alarming details about President Obama's life and personality while he was attending high school in Hawaii.

Ms Pope, who knew Obama as ''Barry'' while he was living in Hawaii, says she spent a lot of time hanging out with him during that time. She says she met the president in 1977 when she was about 14 years old, and although he was a few years older than her, they ran in the same circle of friends, hanging out around town and spending time on the beach in Waikiki.

''During those years, during the summertime, we as neighbourhood kids, we would sort of hang out every day. We all sort of knew each other's business,'' Pope told Dr Manning. ''He always portrayed himself as a foreign student, that didn't mean much to me then, but that's just what we knew about him.''  Questions about President Obama's birthplace have of course been circulating for several years, but Pope had much more to say about the young man she knew a ''Barry'' than his citizenship.

''He very much was within the gay community, which there was a thriving, even back then, a thriving gay community in that area, particularly the Diamondhead area,''  Pope went on to say. ''We knew Barry, just as common knowledge, that girls were never anything that he was ever interested in. As a young teenager, you know as a young girl, it was clear that was strictly into men.''  This was not the first time we have heard this type of rumour about President Obama's sexuality. Larry Sinclair, who says he met Obama in Chicago while he was serving in the Illinois legislature, claimed before the 2008 election that he had a sexual relationship with Obama, and that did cocaine together. That story has largely been kept out of the mainstream media.

The point here is that everything we have been told about Barack Obama's life and history may very well be false. It is quite possibly a conspiracy between the black leadership, Jewish supporters and the ''lamestream'' media that designed a scenario to prevent the American people from ever finding out anything about his life before he became a public figure.  On this blog site, I have exposed this sordid background about Obama and his wife in two articles posted on the 14th of April, this year. They were entitled: ''The Low Down on Barack Obama's Down-Low Club''  and  ''To Michelle, a 'Beard' By Any Other Name Would Be the Same.'' This information will shock you!

''He and I didn't even really get along,'' Pope said of her relationship with Barry, ''because one of his attributes that's still evident today is that he was even a pathological liar even back then. I'm not kidding! Every time this guy would open his mouth the most outlandish stories would come out. I remember saying, 'Barry, don't you ever get tied of lying?' It was always some self-aggrandizing thing. It was always something to egotistically boost himself. He didn't actually have a lot of friends, he was just in the periphery.''  Anyone who has objectively observed President Obama closely during his time in the public eye can certainly see that trait in him even today.


Pope also spoke extensively about Obama's drug use, specially cocaine, during the time she knew him. ''If you were going to do cocaine it was in powder form and was very expensive. Here we are, a bunch of broke teenagers, so for somebody to brag that thy had this cocaine was somewhat newsworthy within our little clique. He would get these older, white, gat men, and this is how we pretty much had this Impression that that's how was procuring this cocaine. In other words he was having sex with these older, white gay guys and that's how he was his cocaine to be able to freebase. I remember him as a ''low road'' guy. In other words, you couldn't trust his guy to walk your dog. And now I see what kind of adult his has turned out to be....still ''low road.''

The Way I See It.....with more and more of this slime bubbling up from the Obama's hidden history, it is up to each of us to decide whether or not we want to believe what Mia Pope has to say. But her story coincides with stories of others who have come forward in the past, sick of the stench. It is alarming that Barack Obama was able to attain the presidency when the public at large knew little about him or his history. This was my mission over the past years, if you go back and read my many postings of the facts that came to light, but never printed in a blinded, ignorant press that kept giving him a Teflon coating. No one can really make a fair assessment of just who Barack Obama really is without examining all the evidence that's coming available.

Iranian President says he was ''Accountable to our People.''

In a speech marking his first 100 days in office two weeks ago, President Hassan Rouhani said he was being ''accountable to our people'', a popular message that has seldom, if ever, been heard in Iran.

With the recent signing of the interim nuclear agreement with the Western powers in Geneva, after speaking briefly with President Obama who helped set up the initial meeting in Oman, Rouhani can take pride in saying he succeeded in relieving Iran of the crushing burden of financial sanctions and is lessening Iran's isolation from the rest of the world. In fact, Rouhani had made a virtue of necessity. Going into the talks, Iran was characterized by a collapsing economy and a regime increasingly isolated from the world and from its own youthful, restive population. All had learned to look for signals from the strident style of that asshole, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Half of Iran's population is under the age of 25, and, as New York Times reporter Nicholas Kristof discovered on a lengthy road trip across Iran last year, most young adults are pro-American. They play video games, they have satellite television, they like sports cars and they dream of going abroad to Europe and the united States. These were the same young people who took to the streets of Tehran in 2009 in the Green Revolution (below), to protest the re-election of Ahmadinejad and who disobey the regime's strict laws every day. Women push up their sleeves, baring more skin than the law allows, young men drink alcohol and they flock to Iran's many amusement parks rather than the mosques.


If Iran were left alone, say some exiled Iranians in another decade or two it would moderate, the power of the clerics would fade and Iran would begin to resemble Turkey: Islamic, but socially moderate and economically free. But two decades is a long wait for millions of young Iranians who are increasingly influenced by Western culture but have less money and fewer opportunities as Iran has succumbed to the effect of international sanctions. Foreign-made luxuries became harder to find and it became difficult for Iranians to travel abroad.

Clearly, Rouhani sees the writing on the wall: The regime cannot maintain its hold on Iran over the long term if it is not seen to have legitimacy. He will have to pull up deep roots if he is to bring real change to Iran. The 1979 revolution that swept the theocratic regime into power marked a turning point  not only in Iran's dealings with the world but also with its citizens. Years of economic prosperity under Shah Reza Pahlavi gave way to repressive social and cultural practices forced on Iranians who observed them grudgingly.

The ''religious and moral purity'' claimed by the revolution's powerful clerics turned out to be illusory. One of the most powerful arms of the government, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, portrays itself as the guardian of the revolution. Its allegiance has a steep price; the Guard over time spread its tentacles into many facets of the Iranian economy, including profiting from financial interest in Iran's nuclear and missile programs. As with so many revolutions that go astray, Iran has devolved into a society with a small number of privileged elites who enjoy luxuries while the bulk of the population see its standard of living decline. The corruption among the powerful elites will not be easily resolved. Rouhani shows no desire to take on these entrenched people directly.

The Way I See It.....Rouhani will have room to manoeuvre for the time being. His policies on reducing inflation, relaxation of some security restrictions and the drafting of a citizen's rights document are well received by the man on the street, no small consideration for a regime that perhaps fears more than anything a popular uprising similar to 1979. Rouhani's policies are providing relief for a population disgruntled by the previous leadership. That alone seems to be winning him approval from Iran's Supreme leader Ali Khamenei ( photo right ).

Rouhani knows his domestic support is no unlimited. He has created and now must deal with rising expectations at home, and failure to meet them could derail his presidency. It remains to be seen whether he can negotiate a comprehensive deal on the nuclear problem. At the same time, hard-line elements within the government almost certainly will be unwilling to end a nuclear program that ran has built over decades which in turn would likely result in sanctions being restored. This is the ambitious agenda of an ardent nationalist who is taking a clear-eyed view of his nation's problems and challenges.

My Letter to a Fellow Brisbanite !

 Dear Janelle,
   I read with much chagrin the article in the Centenary News that you have returned from America after being brainwashed at a conference run by Al Gore. It would've been much better if you spent some time in the company of Professor Richard S. Lindzen, arguably the world's most prominent climate scientist. He is the Professor of Atmospheric Sciences emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology not like that washed-up politician Gore living off his past glory; the so-called documentary with 33 exposed lies, omissions and false science riddled through it.

    Professor Lindzen testified to the US Committee on Science and Technology about how many billions of dollars have been squandered on pretending to do something about the weather. On placating the great Climate God!  He added, that Global climate alarmism has been costly to society, and it has the potential to be vastly more costly. It also has been damaging to science, as scientists adjust both data and even theory to accommodate politically correct positions.

    He goes on; Global warming has become a religion. A surprisingly large number of people seem to have concluded that all that gives meaning to their lives is the belief that they are saving the planet by paying attention to their carbon footprint....(is this you?). Global warming has almost successfully co-opted institutional science making even respectable scientists give into slurping at the government subsidies trough. However, the cracks in the scientific claims for catastrophic warming are becoming much harder for the supporters to defend.

    He states; I will simply try to clarify what the debate over climate change is really about. It most certainly not about whether climate is changing: it always is. It is not about whether CO2 is increasing: it clearly is even though it makes up only 0.038% of our atmosphere. It is not about whether the increase in CO2, by itself, will lead to some warming: it should. The debate is simply over the matter of how much warming the increased CO2 can lead to, and the connection of such warming to innumerable claimed catastrophies. The evidence is that the increase in CO2 will lead to very little warming, and the connection of this minimal warming to purported catastrophes is also minimal. The arguments on which these terrible claims are made are extremely weak and commonly acknowledged as such.

    Let's get real....current global warming alarmism hardly represents a plausible proposition. Twenty years of repetition and escalation of claims does not make it more plausible. Quite the contrary, the failure of any real warming over 16 years makes the case even less plausible as does the added evidence from Climategate and other instances of overt cheating. In the meantime, I am quite willing to state that unprecedented climate catastrophes are not on the horizon though in several thousand years we may return to an ice age. Lindzen cites a Professor Lockwood of Reading University reports some startling findings. He says solar activity is now falling more rapidly than at any time in the last 10,000 years and raising the risk of a new Little Ice Age.

    How much waste are you willing accept before the cost of this Cock-Robin Syndrome becomes so crippling that it forces politicians to admit voters have been conned...and fleeced?  While you go around our lovely city and proselytise to the innocent with phony facts and deluded science the charts don't lie (see attached Chart). Even the IPCC has to admit the truth about NO WARMING and also mentions that hurricanes and droughts are not due to climate change...it's just WEATHER!

 

   The push to sustainability has made hypocrites out of the environmentalists with government subsidies building eyesores on the landscape known as Wind Turbines which are killing millions of birds and bats every year for the priciest electricity while ignoring the logic of clean, cheap SAFE nuclear power....such stupid, selfish hypocrites. It's a shame they are not ridiculed!  I just hope you overcome your awe of this Climate Hysteric and Resident Phony who loves to cherry-pick his  evidence and join the growing movement of rational thought, evidence and science. The Gravy Train is ending for those people who have sold their souls to climate-change dogma. It's time to wave Good-bye.

    I've written to you in all sincerity,
            Dr Frank P Mechler

Think Before You Ink: Tattoos May Cause Cancer !

I don't know about you, but I've never gotten a tattoo and after reading this study I am glad I avoided them. If you've gotten a tattoo, or thought about it, chances are high that you weighed the artistic and social aspects of it far more than the health aspects. In fact, you may not even e aware that there is a health aspect to receiving a tattoo -- other than the inherent risks of infection, allergic reaction or disease transmission if equipment is not properly sterilized.

Research is increasingly showing, however, that there might be health risks involved, especially if your tattoo design has large areas of black ink, as the ink itself may be toxic.! I've heard it said that ''tattoo ink is quite nonreactive histologically, despite the frequent use of different pigments of unknown purity and identity by tattoo artists.'' However, University of Bradford researchers using an atomic-force microscope (AFM) that allows them to examine skin with tattoos at the nano-level have found evidence that suggests otherwise. In a preliminary study (the first to use an AFM), the researchers found that the tattoo process remodels collagen (your body's main connective tissue).

Further, nanoparticles from tattoo ink were found to exist in both the collagenous network of the skin as well as around blood vessels. This suggests that the ink particles are leaving the surface of your skin and traveling elsewhere in your body, where they could potentially enter organs, glands and other tissues. This is problematic because tattoo inks are largely unregulated and known to contain-cancer causing compounds. The researchers believe the issue could become a significant public health concern given the rise in tattooing in the last decade.


The researchers released a press statement saying: ''We need to do more work, but there is no question that these substances can be toxic. It takes a long time for the multi-step nature of cancer to show its face and we don't think we should wait to see if there is anything wrong with these ingredients. We also feel, since nanoparticles are ultramicroscopic in size, thereby making them able to readily penetrate your skin and travel to underlying blood vessels and into your bloodstream. Our evidence suggests that some nanoparticles may induce toxic effects in your brain and cause nerve damage.''

In 2011, a study in The British Journal of Dermatology revealed that nanoparticles are indeed found in tattoo inks, with BLACK pigments containing the smallest particles (WHITE pigments had the largest particles and COLOURED pigments were in between. With the exception of the white pigments, the study noted that ''the vast majority of the tested tattoo inks contained significant amounts of these nanoparticles. The Black pigments were almost pure nanoparticles. It looks like the Black-ink in tattoos may be the riskiest and is most often linked to the potential of adverse health effects like inflammation and DNA damage.''

I have read that black inks are usually based on soot and many contain hazardous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), (a Class 1 carcinogen according to the International Agency of Research on Cancer). Part of PAHs stay lifelong in the skin, absorb UV radiation which then can generate deleterious singlet oxygen inside the dermis layer. The Friends of the Earth - a global network of grassroots groups - is among those now calling for proper regulation of tattoo inks amidst the new findings that they may contribute to cancer.


The Way I See It.....until further research is completed it may be wise to ''think before you ink.''  I'm typically a major advocate of technology, but I have mixed feeling about the use of nanotechnology, particularly when it comes to exposing your body to these complex molecules for non-essential purposes like tattoos. If harnessed properly, however, nanotechnology has the potential to make major strides in conventional medicine and other areas like environmental remediation and sustainable energy.


Contrary to older toxicology risk models, less is more; by reducing a particle's size the technology has now made that substance capable of evading the body's natural defences more easily, i.e. passing through pores in the skin or mucous membranes, evading immune and detoxification mechanisms that evolved millions of years before the nanotech era we're in.  Interestingly, there is a growing sub-culture of ''Tattoo Regreters'' with many people, mostly women, who feel their body art had come by way of peer pressure, personal baggage and/or a growing obsession that needed to be relegated to past history. At least tattoo removal procedures are getting easier if not less painful.

Attack on Complementary Medicine ''Undermines Safety'' !

Justin Norrie, Editor, of  The Conversation, an independent news website writes.........

Cutting complementary (alternative) medicine courses from universities would dilute the quality of the education available and threaten safe practice but have no impact on demand for it, according to academics writing in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA). In an emphatic response to recent comments by Friends of Science in Medicine (FSM), a body, I mentioned my previous posting, that is committed to stemming the spread of ''pseudoscience'' in medicine, the authors accuse some of the medical orthodoxy of trying to stifle divergent views. Just like the global warmists not listening to the deniers and getting egg on their faces.

A strong retort was given by Stephen Myers, a Professor of Complementary Medicine at southern Cross University and co-authors in warning that there is ''a great danger for the public if complementary medicine practice is allowed to develop outside mainstream education. It would definitely undermine safe practice and critical appraisal.'' Among the co-authors was Dr Kerryn Phelps, former President of the AMA and Adjunct Professor at the School of Public Health in the University of Sydney. She added, ''Science sets out to rigorously eliminate bias, not assert it. The FSM's arguments are highly emotive and, while having a gloss of superficial reasonableness, they do not stand up to critical review.''



Dr  Stephan  Myers

Professor Myers said that alternative medicine was a broad field that could not be described with generalisations. It was important, he added, to distinguish the major professional and university-based disciplines of traditional Chinese medicine, Chiropractic, Osteopathy and Naturopathy from ''fringe practices, and the actions of rogue or unqualified practitioners.'' Two ''comprehensive reviews'' of complementary medicine practice and training in Australia over the past 15 years had both supported the movement of Chinese medicine and Naturopathy and Western herbal medicine into a university setting, ''just as earlier reviews had done for chiropractic and osteopathy.''  Professor Myers firmly added that, ''It is not melodramatic to point out that if the Friends of Science in Medicine were to succeed in their stated aims, they would achieve a dystopia -- a medical 1984  where only one way of knowing the body in health and illness is permitted in public discourse.''

But John Dwyer, the condescending president of FSM and Emeritus Professor at the University of New South Wales said that his fundamentalist organisation strongly supports research into currently alternative approaches to see if they are credible and there is sufficient evidence to warrant  science dollars being used to settle the question whether these supposed treatments are effective or not. He said, ''No amount of dogmatic pronouncement and assertions uttered by individuals who have invented various treatments, often centuries ago, and who are still blindly followed to this day, despite of scientific discovery and advancement in medicine should go unexamined.'' (I ask you, where has this douse bag been the last 50 years? Sorry John the examinations have been done)

The Way I See It.....the FSM's views exceed the boundaries of reasoned debate and risk compromising the values that the FSM claims to support. While there was now an extensive evidence base for complementary therapies, the concept of evidence-based allopathic medicine was highly contested within Western medicine itself.  Professor of Medicine at Monash University, Paul Komesaroff, writing in the MJA, said ''It is not appropriate for doctors or scientists with a particular view of medicine to impose those views on the whole community. It is important that those who seek to be friends of science do not inadvertently become its enemies. We call on the members of FSM to revise their tactics and instead support open, respectful dialogue in the great spirit and tradition of science itself.

UPDATE:  Last week, a study published in the Medical Journal of Australia by researches from the University of Melbourne provided the best picture yet of the most common conditions treated by chiropractors and suggests most chiropractic treatments and consultations undertaken in the country are EVIDENCE BASED! The study was the first of its kind in the world and provided the most detailed information yet published on chiropractic practice. I think now Dr Dwyer and his Whores of Big Pharma should leave the stage and fade away.

Immigration or Colonisation By Stealth ?

BRISBANE AIRPORT :  (This was overheard by a patient of mine, last week, standing at the luggage carrousel next to a little old lady and a woman in a burqa ).

Old lady turning to Muslim woman:  ''Excuse me dear, I mean no offence, but isn't it hot under that burqa?''
Muslim woman (abruptly):  ''Believe me.....you'll soon be finding out what it's like wearing a burqa.''
Old lady:  "Well, my dear at my age I'm sure I won't be around to see it. If not. I'll make sure I have two bullets....one for you then one for me!''   That shut her up!

Different Styles of Muslim Dress

There you have it, my warnings over the three and half years of blog postings mentioning the world-wide Islamist underground agenda of Stealth Jihad are well founded. Again, the question is why we in Australia have allowed in people who in sentiment and even clothing declare themselves not of this society. I just returned from a professional seminar in Sydney's CBD and heard that hundreds of Muslims attended a community meeting in western Sydney and they were warned that they should refuse to co-operate with Australian government and its associated agencies, including Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO) and federal police.

The annual conference of Hizb ut-Tahrir heard speakers say the federal government had a covert plan to marginalize and suppress activist and traditional Islam under the guise of engagement and fostering harmony with moderates in the community. ASIO says more moderate leaders have helped keep down tensions, especially over Syria. We are thankfully past the low point when Muslim groups elected as Grand Mufti of Australia the extremist Taj el-Din al-Hilali, who hailed the September 11 attacks as ''God's work against oppressors.'' Unfortunately, this Sheik still preaches at Lakemba Mosque - Australia's biggest - and he has young radical preachers now whip up potentially lethal resentments, particularly when Australian soldiers are fighting jihadists overseas or when the police arrest them at home.

In an address entitled Forging an Independent Path for the Community, speaker Wassim Doureihi   told the 600-strong audience gathered in that hall that many Muslims had been cowed by the federal government and its agencies into abandoning traditional and activist Islam. He added that those imams and other Muslim community leaders who co-operated with the government lent legitimacy to what Mr Doureihi claimed was Canberra's campaign against Muslims at home and abroad.  ''They sit at the table with those who are waging war against Muslims,'' he said....knowing full well that Muslims are waging war with the West as often as they can. Most Australians would say, ''Go home if you don't like it here and take your non-assimilation with you!''


Wassim Doureihi in Sydney

Just last week, ASIO's report to Parliament exploded some sweet lies we've been told about our immigration program. Here's one: immigration brings only good things, like falafel. Here's another: there's still only a ''tiny, unrepresentative minority'' of Muslim extremists here, A ''handful''. HANDFUL?  Check the ASIO report: ''This year ASIO....investigated several hundred mostly Australia-based individuals who are advocates of a violent Islamist ideology. In fact, we already have 20 Muslims jailed for terrorism-related offences and we fear more may come as there has been an increase in Australians travelling overseas to participate in terrorist training or engage in foreign disputes, like Syria. The concern is the likelihood of radicalised Australians returning home with an increased commitment and capability to pursue violent acts on our shores.''

When five Muslims were jailed in Sydney for a terrorist plot to attack a local Army base, 30 Muslim ''community leaders'' and imams signed a statement at the Lakemba Mosque, claiming ''the reason for the arrests and convictions is that these young men expressed opinions that contradict Australia's foreign policy towards majority Muslim countries.'' There seems to be a huge amount of denial in Western Sydney. ASIO's report didn't cover other evidence that a significant minority of some Muslim groups have struggled to integrate. For instance, those of Lebanese descent have high rates of unemployment, welfare dependency and imprisonment, and high rates of bikie gang membership. Add this danger sign: Of the 18 terrorist groups banned in Australia, 17 are Islamist. Even the exception, the Stalinist PKK, is from the Middle East. 

The Way I See It.....our immigration policies have been incredibly reckless, thanks to politicians more concerned with seeming good than achieving security for Aussie citizens. We have been bringing in more than 10,000 refugee a year from Muslim lands - especially ones in which jihadism is worst. Many have little English and few skills. Not surprisingly, just 9% of Afgan adults find work here even five years after arriving. Yet, just last month, the Abbott Government said it would accept another 500 refugees from Syria's war between jihadists and the Assad regime. Few would be any better equipped to integrate than were the refugees we took in from Lebanon's civil war and who formed a community (ghetto) which now makes up a quarter of our Muslim population - but which has produced nearly two thirds of those charged with terrorism offences.

The ethnic link is so pronounced that Australia's immigration laws needs revision. The mandatory deportation of gang members, both foreign and domestic is being pushed by the Queensland government that's aimed at stemming the flow of Middle Eastern and Pacific Islander recruits into gangs. There should be no argument about this. An immigration system which leaves Australians in more danger from being robbed, bashed, shot or otherwise menaced is not just a failure but a betrayal. Besides...there are just so many falafels Aussies can eat.

 

The Very Radical Racist Background of Michelle Obama !

I did some background checking into Michelle Obama and her links with socialists, communists and other ranking radicals that wish nothing more than to destroy the United States as it is, and create a brand new United States! I've exposed three of Barack Obama's socialist mentors (31August - 3 September, 2012) that infected him with a distaste for the American society as a whole. This may sound shocking but it is true. Some of the words spoken by Michelle and her husband have come directly from that radical book entitled Rules for Radicals by Saul D. Alinsky. I have exposed Alinsky's background in a previous posting  (OBAMA: Lucifer is My Homeboy! - 13 September, 2012) Check it out.

Since it is hard to find her high school history, I'll start with Michelle LaVaughn Robinson's college days....and what days they turned out to be. In a February, 2008 interview with Newsweek, Michelle Obama revealed that she got into Princeton, not on the strength of her grades, which she admits were unexceptional, but thanks to her brother Craig,  star athlete and gifted student who preceded her to the university. As a ''legacy'' candidate and a beneficiary of affirmative action, Michelle was granted an opportunity that others more accomplished were denied. She got her college education due to her brother and her ethnicity, not her excellence in academics.

So why is she such an ungrateful radical racist woman? Let's take a look to see just what she was doing at Princeton while she was there and what types of people she had as her close friends. Some of Michelle's contacts were of the Marxist/socialist types. Charles Johnson wrote in 2012 that he remembers ''Michelle Obama attended and promoted a Black Solidarity event for guest lecturer Manning Marable, ( left ) who was professor of African-American Studies at Columbia University and according to sources, probably the best known black Marxist in the country.'' The event was the work of The Third World Center (TWC), a campus group whose board membership was exclusively reserved for only minorities. Michelle Robinson is listed as a junior member of the eleven members on the board.

We must now wonder, why did the people elect a man with a wife that has such a background, mixed with Marxism and Communism associations. Michelle Robinson's racial animosity of Caucasian people is exposed through her articles and statements from the time she was at Princeton. One can see this in her expressed ideas that the white population at Princeton were a bunch of ''racist'' individuals. The TWC governing board's obsession with race irrupted in an editorial in October, 1981. They took great offense to an op-ed titled ''Rebuilding Race Relations,'' calling the article ''racist, offensive and inaccurate'' for daring to question the group's true commitment on race relations. They wrote a scathing letter to the editor; ''The word RE-building implies that race relations once existed and, for some mysterious reason, fell apart. we, on the other hand, believe that race relations have never been at a satisfactory level. We cannot RE-build something that never existed in the first place.'' 

Michelle and Barack at a Marxist meeting

Princeton was getting more and more concerned about the self-segregation by black students and proposed reforms to counter it, including no longer permitting black students to all room together n one dorm and integrating black freshmen into the general student body. The TWC strenuously opposed all of these reforms, arguing that integration of non-white students would harm the ''support system'' available to them, especially blacks. Once again Michelle sent off another scathing letter stating, ''Don't hide behind excuses and reasons to integrate the college campus on our part. The bottom line is that white students on this campus are racist, but they may not realize it and minority strife would worsen.''  You can see that Michelle was actually biting the hand that fed her!

It looked like Michelle was in a group that found fault with anything that dealt with ethnicity. In 1983 she did more than make meetings and express her seemingly hate for whites, she went on with the TWC and made demands for minority only meetings. She would be up in arms to stop such meetings if they were to the exclusion of minorities. Yet it was fine, and even better, when she stood alongside a segregation policy that banned whites from any meetings held by the TWC! This is well noted in statements recorded in 1984; ''The TWC's board demands that non-white students should have the right to bar whites from their meetings on campus.'' The ban was frankly unnecessary, since whites were made to feel unwelcome at the meetings if they were invited at all.

The Way I See It.....Michelle Robinson (Obama) did not like the idea of all ethnicities working together, and would rather have them separate from each other. However, this is not what America had been working towards. It had been working, since the mid-1960s, towards having ethnic groups working together and not apart. This was so people could be together as one nation, as the Founding Fathers had proscribed and the efforts of the civil rights movement to bring to reality.

Yet it was Michelle that had stated that race relations at Princeton were deficient. However, it seems she was part of the problem. She sat on the board of the TWC to force Princeton to have separate meetings for minorities without any whites allowed. This attitude does not bring ethnicities together to discuss any sensitive issues they may have and therefore doesn't resolve problems. It would make them worse due to the distancing of those minorities from the white population. This would only breed suspicion amongst the white population at what the minorities were planning next to disrupt the running of the university. However, this was just the beginning for Michelle Robinson as she learned to use Saul Alinsky's works, a man she admired along with her husband Barack.
