As the investigation of ACORN begins and the congressional leaders calling those who oppose his socialist programs racists. I wonder if they are setting the American people for chaos and the destruction of America. I feel that there is a larger plan at work. Is this plan being helped along by those in congress and others or are they unwitting pawns? I can’t really say. I do know that when you read this you’ll most likely believe that I have completely lost my mind. I assure you, I haven’t, it is just a “gut” feeling, and I do pray that I am wrong.

When Barack Hussein Obama II, appeared on the national scene he was little known, three term Illinois state senator. His prime-time televised keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004, propelled him into the limelight and made him a rising star nationally in the Democratic Party. Later, in November, 2004 he was elected to the U.S. Senate by the largest margin in the history of Illinois. But, there are questions that need to be really asked. Where did this virtual unknown come from? Just how did he obtain the highest office in the land? Who is behind him? What is “his” plan for America?

The first question, where did he come from, has been asked and answered by “talking heads" on both sides of the aisle since Obama started running for the presidency. There is reason to rehash that history and those discussions. How did he obtain the office of the President? Well, the quick answer is he was elected by the people of the United States. Granted, this is true, but, there was a well organized and finically strong “machine” behind his campaign. This “machine” did not come partially to light until his internet “fund raising” efforts started breaking all records for campaign contributions. It was at this time he “decided” to break his promise and opt out of the public campaign funds. Again, this is history. But, yet where did these funds really come from? The initial answer is the every day American citizens, but as is slowly coming to light, there is a number of organizations involved, prime “suspects” are the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

Talk show hosts, Rush Limbraugh and Glenn Beck have both been on the ACORN and SEIU connections to Obama for many months. Lately, other talk show hosts have decided to jumped on the band wagon, particularly, in light of the recent tapes. In the light of these tapes, congress is going to finally (?) cut funding and investigate ACORN; however the history of ACORN’s fraud goes back further then this past election (a subject for another post). Glenn Beck, on a number of his shows has shown the various connections between ACORN/SEIU and various other extreme left organizations. During his many discussions he has mentioned one very powerful and rich person, George Soros. I am not going to go into Soros’s life here, instead I am going to address some of the organizations he has funded, the connection to Obama’s election and what maybe the craziest idea/plot, which has ever crossed a person’s mind.

George Soros’s main “contribution” to American society, if one wants to call it that, is his Open Society Institute (OSI) of which he is the founder and chairman. OSI was established in 1993, as a private operating and grant making foundation to support his foundations in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Those foundations were established, starting in 1984, to help countries make the transition from communism. OSI has expanded the activities of the Soros foundations network to encompass the United States and more than 60 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each Soros foundation relies on the expertise of boards composed of eminent citizens who determine individual agendas based on local priorities. OSI serves as the flagship of the network of Soros foundations that donate tens of millions of dollars each year to a wide array of individuals and organizations that share the founder's agendas. OSI claims to be "a nonpartisan, nonpolitical entity" whose funding agendas are "wholly separate" from "George Soros's private political activities," OSI describes itself as "a private operating and grant making foundation [that] "aims to shape public policy to promote democratic governance, human rights, and economic, legal, and social reform; … implements a range of initiatives to support the rule of law, education, public health, and independent media; [and] works to build alliances across borders and continents on issues such as combating corruption and rights abuses. Among these so called non-partisan organizations are The Tides Foundation, The Tides Center, ACORN, Center for American Progress (CAP), MoveOn.org, ACLU and indirectly with SEIU.

Now, a question arises, just why Soros would back a charismatic, unknown first term senator, who just happens to be black over a long time friend and ally, Hillary Clinton. The alliance with the Hillary goes back to July 7, 2003, the American Majority Institute was launched using funds from Soros and the OSI. Later, on September 1, 2003, the name was changed to Center for American Progress (CAP). CAP describes itself as a "a nonpartisan research and educational institute" aimed at "developing a long-term vision of a progressive America" and "providing a forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals." It is in reality a left wing “think tank”. However, as an inside source confided to Christian Bourge of United Press International. "It's the official Hillary Clinton think tank," Robert Dreyfuss noted in The Nation, "In looking at Podesta's center, there's no escaping the imprint of the Clintons. It's not completely wrong to see it as a shadow government, a kind of Clinton White-House-in-exile -- or a White House staff in readiness for President Hillary Clinton” Later in May 3, 2004, CAP helped to launch David Brock's Media Matters for America - which claims to serve as a "watchdog" organization monitoring "rightwing" media for ethics and accuracy. According to The New York Times, Brock conferred with Hillary Clinton, Senator Tom Daschle, and former Vice President Al Gore about Media Matters before embarking on the project. "Mr. Brock's project was developed with help from the newly formed Center for American Progress," notes the Times, and John Podesta "introduced [Brock] to potential donors." Now, just why Soros would change from backing Hillary and throw it behind Obama? Was this a preplanned move, where Hillary and Soros realized that maybe the polarizing effect that Hillary had on some Americans would not ensure a victory? They needed someone else, maybe a person of color who would bring in a lot of the independents, just because of his race. This would also put another “weapon” in the arsenal for the battle to win the election. Now, just how could Soros finance the campaign of Obama? After all, when the McCain-Feingold Act of March 27, 2002, was enacted, this was to ostensibly reduce the influence of wealthy contributors to political candidates. However, the Democrats included in the legislation a tiny provision for so-called "527" organizations that would basically allow ultra-wealthy radicals such as George Soros to contribute unlimited sums of money to the parties and candidates of their choice. These contributions led to a coalition of a nationwide network of non-profit activist groups, whose agendas are ideologically to the left, which were and are still engaged in campaigning for the Democrats. Out of this coalition came the so called “Shadow Party” (SP).

The term "Shadow Party" or the "Shadow Democratic Party" derives from the fact that the network carries out campaign activities which the Democratic Party would normally perform itself. This so-called "Shadow Party," is a nationwide network of unions, non-profit activist groups (ACORN), and think tanks (CAP) whose agendas are ideologically to the left, which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats. Its activities include fundraising, get-out-the-vote drives, political advertising, opposition research, and media manipulation. This coalition was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes -- all identified with the Democratic Party left. The “Shadow Party” has built a mighty coalition, marrying the youthful energy of the MTV generation with the ideological fervor of New Left activists who cut their political teeth in the battles of the 1960s with the ruthless tactics and financial power of New Labor, whose flagship unions - the SEIU and the AFSCME - have managed to thrive while other unions shrink, through the ingenious expedient of organizing workers in the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. economy: the government workforce. Many of the political strategists and operatives spearheading this government union movement are veterans of the New Left themselves.

As the Shadow Party gained the leverage with which to impose its radical agendas on the more moderate Democrat rank and file, some may ask, Why would the Democratic Party become ever-more dependent on the “Shadow Party” for its funding and foot-soldiers. The reason is the aforementioned campaign reform act, which banned “soft money” from political campaigns. This left the Democrats where they could no longer perform these fundraising activities effectively and could not legally raise enough money to undertake a national presidential campaign. So the “Shadow Party” undertook this task and now most Democrat campaigning is now done by the “Shadow Party”, which raises its own money independently. After the 2004 election when George Bush defeated John Kerry (who served in Vietnam). One of the leaders of these so called  "Shadow Party" organizations, MoveOn.org, jointly said of the Democratic Party following the election "Now it's our Party: we bought it, we own it.”

Again, the question remains of why the endorsement and the money were directed towards Obama? After all, with amount of money Soros and his organizations have dumped into the Democratic party, they could basically “call the shots”. Why Obama? There could be many reasons, from Obama’s charisma, to the basic beliefs in the socialist principles they both share. Or could it be that by running a black man for president, there is one advantage, which Hillary does not have, the race card.

Just about everyone knows of Obama’s charisma. How he can deliver a speech with the aid of a teleprompter. Some, including this writer has compared his speech delivery to that of Hitler, both could “cast a spell” over their audience. But, charisma alone can not propel a person to the presidency. So it has to be something else. Is it his beliefs, they closely mirror Soros’s and the OSI. Some of which are:
