Black-Jewish Hostility Rouses Leaders in Chicago to Action

By DIRK JOHNSON, SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK TIMES
Published: July 29, 1988
Relations between blacks and Jews have been severely strained since April when it was disclosed that an aide to Mayor Eugene Sawyer had delivered anti-Jewish lectures at the headquarters of the black Nation of Islam from August 1985 to November 1987. The aide, Steve Cokely, asserted among other things that Jewish doctors were infecting black babies with the AIDS virus, and he warned of an international Jewish conspiracy ”to rule the world.”

Mr. Cokely was dismissed, but not until nearly a week after the attacks were made public.

“Jewish doctors” “black babies” aids

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=1B7209F1-7014-4372-B6F1-1F821D52FEC8

Barack Hussein Obama at one point claimed he never heard Reverend Wright say “things”. One of the things Obama may have heard or not was Wright saying the government invented aids to harm blacks. This was not in a vacuum. The claim that Jewish doctors injected black babies with aids was widespread in Chicago in the 1980’s. Obama and his wife knew that. Obama was presumably in Chicago in 1988 when Cokely made his remarks and they were widespread on the South Side of Chicago in the years after.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama#Early_life_and_career

Obama graduated with a B.A. from Columbia in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group before moving to Chicago in 1985 to take a job as a community organizer.^[7][8] He entered Harvard Law School in 1988.^[9]

Obama started at Harvard in fall 1988, so he was presumably in Chicago when Cokely made his remarks. But in any case, they lived on in Chicago for years afterwards. Obama knew that. So did his wife. So did Ayers and Dohrn. Obama knew Wright was building on Cokely. Obama chose to go along with that talk until Rev Wright repeated the aids theory at the National Press Club in 2008, almost 20 years after Cokely made his remarks.

LEAD: Anti-Semitism in the political life of a great American city: the idea is shocking and it is not to be brushed aside as a local oddity. Attention must be paid to what is happening in Chicago. Jesse Jackson has to face it. So does Michael Dukakis.

Anti-Semitism in the political life of a great American city: the idea is shocking and it is not to be brushed aside as a local oddity. Attention must be paid to what is happening in Chicago. Jesse Jackson has to face it. So does Michael Dukakis.

Last April it was learned that Steve Cokely, an assistant to Mayor Eugene Sawyer of Chicago, had made anti-Semitic speeches for two years to the black religious group, Nation of Islam. Among other things he said, ”The AIDS epidemic is a result of doctors, especially Jewish ones, who inject AIDS into blacks.” It took Mayor Sawyer nearly a week to fire Mr. Cokely after that vicious and lunatic statement became known. Most black political leaders in Chicago were silent. A few defended Mr. Cokely. Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, praised him and said Jews minded his attacks because ”the truth hurts.”

In a powerful piece on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times, Prof. Eugene Kennedy of Loyola University said, ”virulent anti-Semitism has gripped Chicago’s black community.” He quoted Andrew Greeley, the Roman Catholic priest and novelist, as saying: ”If I were Jewish, I would be terrified.”

==

So this was April 1988, which was well before Obama left Chicago to go to Harvard. This was while Obama was an organizer in Chicago. So Obama was part of the black nationalist South Side of Chicago which was putting out these comments. These were Obama’s people as he would say saying these things. Obama was part of that. Just as he was when he joined Reverend Wright’s church.

This is the God Damn America atmosphere that America heard about in 2008 although it had been cooking since the 1980’s in Chicago and in fact for longer than that. It is also an intensely anti-white movement. That is where Obama comes from. That is who sent Obama.

When Obama says he just learned of this, he is engaging in deception of whites as fools, his favorite pastime.

Remember that when Geraldine Ferraro said it was race got Obama where he was, David Axelrod denounced her. That was to get out in front of the story of Wright and Obama’s anti-white racism by attacking a white first. Axelrod knew everything Obama knew from the 1980’s onwards. Axelrod is part of Chicago politics and knows Obama knows. Axelrod attacked Ferraro first because he knew about the aids complex from 1980’s onwards that Obama is covering up. Obama should have denounced the aids conspiracy theory in the 1980’s not waited until 2008.

ABC News Debate that questioned Obama

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/us/politics/16text-debate.html?pagewanted=print

MR. GIBSON: Senator Obama, since you last debated, you made a significant speech in this building on the subject of race and your former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. And you said subsequent to giving that speech that you never heard him say from the pulpit the kinds of things that so have offended people.

But more than a year ago, you rescinded the invitation to him to attend the event when you announced your candidacy. He was to give the invocation. And according to the reverend, I’m quoting him, you said to him, “You can get kind of rough in sermons. So what we’ve decided is that it’s best for you not to be out there in public.” I’m quoting the reverend. But what did you know about his statements that caused you to rescind that invitation?

SENATOR OBAMA: Well –

MR. GIBSON: And if you knew he got rough in sermons, why did it take you more than a year to publicly disassociate yourself from his remarks?

SENATOR OBAMA: Well, understand that I hadn’t seen the remarks that ended up playing on youTube repeatedly. This was a set of remarks that had been quoted in Rolling Stone Magazine and we looked at them and I thought that they would be a distraction since he had just put them forward.

But, Charlie, I’ve discussed this extensively. Reverend Wright is somebody who made controversial statements but they were not of the sort that we saw that offended so many Americans. And that’s why I specifically said that these comments were objectionable; they’re not comments that I believe in.

And I disassociated myself with them.

What I also said was, the church and the body of Reverend Wright’s work, over the course of 30 years, were not represented in those snippets that were shown on television, and that the church has done outstanding work in ministries on HIV/AIDS, prison ministries, providing people with the kind of comfort that we expect in our churches.

And so what I think I tried to do in the speech here at the Constitution Center was speak to a broader context, which is that there is anger in the African American community that sometimes gets expressed, whether in the barbershop or in the church.

That’s true not just in the African American community. That’s true in other communities as well. But what we have the opportunity to do is to move beyond it. And that’s what I think my candidacy represents.

Ferraro made her comment on Friday March 7, 2008. That was attacked by the Axelrod Obama machine very quickly. But they already had advanced warning, in all probability, of the ABC March 13, 2008 piece on Wright that was coming. See the links below. Axelrod knew the Obama problems from way back.

http://oldatlanticlighthouse.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/ferraro-was-profiled-by-obama-axelrod-to-be-smeared-as-racist/

Axelrod knew from the 1980’s as well. That is why he attacked Ferraro preemptively. This is black nationalism from the South Side of Chicago that has been in full anti-white swing since the 1980’s and before. Axelrod and Obama have spent their adult lives immersed in it. To say they didn’t know it is false. This is how they gained power and fame and money, by manipulating it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Axelrod_(political_consultant)

After attending Stuyvesant High School^[1] in Manhattan, Axelrod attended the University of Chicago, where he majored in political science. He met his future wife there: Susan Landau, a business student. They were married in 1979. As an undergraduate, Axelrod wrote for the Hyde Park Herald, covering politics, and picked up an internship at the Chicago Tribune. They hired him when he graduated in 1977.

[edit] Career

At the age of 27, Axelrod became the City Hall Bureau Chief and a political columnist for the Chicago Tribune. He worked at the Tribune for eight years, covering national, state and local politics. He became the youngest political writer there in 1981.^[3] Unhappy with his prospects at the Tribune, in 1984 he joined the campaign of US Senator Paul Simon as communications director; within weeks he was promoted to co-campaign manager.^[4]

He formed a political consultancy in 1985 — Axelrod & Associates. In 1987, he worked on the successful reelection campaign of Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor. This established his first experience in working with black politicians and he later became a key player in similar black mayoral campaigns, including Dennis Archer in Detroit, Michael White in Cleveland, Anthony Williams in DC, Lee Brown in Houston and John Street in Philadelphia.^[5] Axelrod is a longtime strategist for Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley and styles himself a ’specialist in urban politics’.

Steve Cokely was an aide to Mayor Eugene Sawyer whom Daley defeated in 1989. In 1989, Axelrod was helping the Daley campaign. Sawyer was black and Daley defeated Sawyer by appealing to white ethnics in Chicago, precisely using the Stokely comment to get Daley elected. Axelrod was part of the 1989 Daley campaign that used the Stokely comment to get Daley elected and defeat the black mayor Sawyer. So Axelrod knew about how big this aids comment was in 1989.

It was no mystery to Axelrod in 2007 that Wright was part of the smear of whites and the government with causing aids. Axelrod had made his career on using the aids statement of Cokely in 1989 to get Daley elected mayor to replace Sawyer who took a week to fire Cokely and got the New York Times into it in 1988. Axelrod knew in 1988 and 1989 that this issue got the interest of the New York Times and was a big issue. He used it to help get Daley elected mayor.

I know if he said it, he got the stuff to back it up.” — Chicago Sun Times, May 10, 1988, concerning statements by Chicago Black activist and former municipal official Steve Cokely asserting that Jews engaged in an international conspiracy to take over the world, and that Jewish doctors deliberately injected black children with the AIDS virus..” ^[44]

1) In 1988 Steve Cokely, coordinator for special projects for the mayor of Chicago, publicly charged that Jewish doctors were deliberately infecting black infants with the AIDS virus. Herbert Martin, the African-American minister who then chaired the city’s Commission on Human Relations, acknowledged that this grotesque slander had “a ring of truth”; and Mayor Eugene Sawyer’s own reaction was sluggish. It took him nearly a week to fire Cokely, whose lay diagnosis of the epidemic apparently did not disqualify him from being invited to speak at the University of Michigan.(3)

Obama’s Narrator

By BEN WALLACE-WELLS

Published: April 1, 2007

How David Axelrod, the king of Chicago political consultants, has spent the past 15 years learning, recording and shaping Barack Obama’s life story.

==

This New York Times article basically confirms the concept of Axelrod as manipulating the Obama image. As the above links have shown, Axelrod is as much aware of the aids comment history as Obama. Moreover, it was the aids comment that Obama specifically denounced after the Wright National Press Club appearance. This was Axelrod’s input very likely. Obama said the next day it was all his reaction, but very likely much of what Obama said the next day were bullet points drafted by Axelrod for Obama to hit. The NYT article is saying that is their relationship.

==More from NYT

When the first major profile of Axelrod appeared in Chicago magazine in 1987, three years after he left a high-profile job as the lead political reporter for The Chicago Tribune to work as a political operative, the article (“Hatchet Man: The Rise of David Axelrod”) began by comparing him to an “exotic rodent.”

…

what he says he admires about Lincoln isn’t just his philosophy but his political effectiveness, the Great Emancipator’s secret shiv. Professional opinions of Axelrod in this pitted, rivalrous field vary, but Axelrod, working from Chicago, has become perhaps the consultant with the tightest grip on his party’s future.

…

For him, running campaigns hitched to personality rather than ideology is a way of reclaiming fleeting authenticity.

..

It seems bizarre to consider now, but there was a time, just about three years ago, when Barack Obama was a pretty obscure black candidate for statewide office, and his political fortunes seemed to obey the regular, racialized rules of urban politics. The campaign needed to find a way for him to add white progressives from the Chicago suburbs and lakefront to his expected base among black voters.

…

Axelrod has known Obama longer than any of his other close political advisers and, other campaign officials say, is now Obama’s chief strategist and someone he “trusts implicitly.” Axelrod has been intimately involved with the staffing of the campaign (David Plouffe, who was a partner in Axelrod’s consulting firm, is now Obama’s campaign manager), with its strategy and pacing and with the scrubbing of its message and language. Because of the vastness of the operation, Axelrod has had to hire other media consultants to help him develop commercials; his own role, he says, will be as “keeper of the message.”

…

The vast Axelrod Conspiracy to recreate Obama.

…

Axelrod met Obama when the senator was 30 years old and coordinating a voter-registration drive in Chicago and Betty Lou Saltzman, a doyenne of progressive politics in Chicago, suggested that the two get to know each other. In the 15 years since, Axelrod has worked through Obama’s life story again and again, scouring it for usable political material, and he believes that some basic themes come through: that he is “not wedded to any ideological frame or dogma,” that he is “an outsider rather than someone who’s spent years in the dens of Georgetown,” that he is an “agent for change” and has the optimism and dynamism of a fresh, young face. Axelrod knows that each of these characteristics has its flip side — optimism can be read as naïveté, independence as ideological unmooredness, unjadedness for a lack of experience and bipartisanship as an instinct to avoid necessary combat.

Axelrod has known Obama since roughly 1992. Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in spring of 1991.

In his office back in Chicago, Axelrod’s walls aren’t covered with bookcases but with political images, candidates Axelrod has worked for on winning election nights, their hands thrust up, their grins wide, the newspaper headlines behind them. There are the black mayors of Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. There is a charming, signed shot of Obama underneath a print of Muhammad Ali knocking out Sonny Liston. Signed thanks from Harold Washington. It is a museum of a particular kind of history — not just the evolution of the modern political left but also the ascendance of a particular kind of charismatic, reformer African-American candidate — and you get the sense that this is how the consultant sees himself, as a curator of this history. Electing Obama president would be “something you could really be proud of for the rest of your life,” Axelrod told me in early January. “It would really change politics in a very positive way.” When he talks about his own ideas, Axelrod has a habit of substituting anecdotes not from his own life but from Obama’s, or Deval Patrick’s, as if his is a compounded, and cultivated, existence.

Can there by any doubt that damage control on Wright was Axelrod’s main thought the whole time? Isn’t that why he pounced on Ferraro the weekend of March 8 and 9 after her Friday March 7 2008 comments? Axelrod knew the ABC report was coming March 13, 2008 roughly because they had tried to interview Rev Wright and various other reasons, see the above links to earlier OA discussions of the Ferraro Axelrod story.

Obama is Axelrod’s life. He knows his problems. Axelrod knows all the problems of the South Side of Chicago, all the political problems. He used those to get the white Mayor Daley elected over the black mayor Eugene Sawyer in 1989 when Sawyer had had the Cokely problem over aids being injected into black babies by Jewish doctors.

Axelrod knew Obama was at Wright’s church from the earlier 1990’s to present. Axelrod knew all about Wright and the black nationalists. Axelrod knew about Ayers and Dohrn. Axelrod knew about Dorothy Tillman. The entire script of attacking Ferraro, the Obama Philadelphia race speech and the post Wright denunciation were all scripted by Axelrod, likely long before 2008 started. The drafts of the Obama speeches were already written and just had to be toked up to the situation.

==

This has been Axelrod’s career, an eternal return to Chicago and to the politics of race. Axelrod and his sister, Joan, grew up in Manhattan, the children of two Jewish liberals — a mother who worked as a journalist at PM, a left-wing newspaper of the 1940’s, and later ran focus groups for an advertising firm, and a psychologist father. He went to college at the University of Chicago.

Axelrod was fixated on this entire story from the beginning. Everything, the black nationalism, Farrakhan, aids, Wright’s Chruch of anti-Semitism have all been under the Axelrod microscope since he came to Chicago. Its been a lab for him to work out all the fixations he acquired from growing up as depicted by the NYT.

Axelrod threw himself into journalism, working after classes at a tiny paper in Hyde Park and covering, among other things, Chicago’s roaring, pitted racial politics; he knew who all the aldermen in the city were by the time he graduated. The Chicago Tribune took him on right out of school, sent him to the night desk for a couple of years of hardening and then turned him loose on City Hall. It was 1979, Axelrod was 23 and the whole politics of the city were caught up in the race thing. Axelrod was inclined toward the reformers, even after his great hope, a white mayor named Jane Byrne, turned out to be a hack and a dud. “I should have known,” he says.

Axelrod never wanted to ride that horse again. Now he’s got the black nationalist horse. And he knows it. He has prepped for everything that has come out. His strategy was attack. Pick a target, Ferraro, and call her a white racist. Then when Wright is exposed, call all whites racists in Obama’s Philadelphia speech. Then denounce Wright when Wright got to hot to hold. They saved that for last, because they know that Wright can take them down. Black ministers didn’t start calling Wright on their own after the National Press Club speech, that was planned too. It was also likely prepped in advance. They knew the drill and were all too willing to call Wright to tell him to be quiet.

..

“David Axelrod’s mostly been visible in Chicago in the last decade as Daley’s public relations strategist and the guy who goes on television to defend Daley from charges of corruption,” Dick Simpson, a former Chicago alderman who is now chairman of the political science department at the University of Illinois at Chicago, told me. Axelrod sees it a little differently. He says that Daley’s election was necessary as a “moment of racial healing” and that he is “proud of the mayor’s progressive record.”

…

Axelrod is known for operating in this gray area, part idealist, part hired muscle. It is difficult to discuss Axelrod in certain circles in Chicago without the matter of the Blair Hull divorce papers coming up. As the 2004 Senate primary neared, it was clear that it was a contest between two people: the millionaire liberal, Hull, who was leading in the polls, and Obama, who had built an impressive grass-roots campaign. About a month before the vote, The Chicago Tribune revealed, near the bottom of a long profile of Hull, that during a divorce proceeding, Hull’s second wife filed for an order of protection. In the following few days, the matter erupted into a full-fledged scandal that ended up destroying the Hull campaign and handing Obama an easy primary victory. The Tribune reporter who wrote the original piece later acknowledged in print that the Obama camp had “worked aggressively behind the scenes” to push the story. But there are those in Chicago who believe that Axelrod had an even more significant role — that he leaked the initial story. They note that before signing on with Obama, Axelrod interviewed with Hull. They also point out that Obama’s TV ad campaign started at almost the same time. Axelrod swears up and down that “we had nothing to do with it” and that the campaign’s television ad schedule was long planned. “An aura grows up around you, and people assume everything emanates from you,” he told me.

…

Taking out Ferraro was just an ordinary day in the life.

…

David and Susan Axelrod have three children in their late teens and early 20s. Their eldest, Lauren, has developmental disabilities associated with chronic epileptic seizures and now lives in a group home in Chicago.

…

“She couldn’t stop talking about what she had seen,” Susan Axelrod recalled. Later, at Hillary Clinton’s behest, the National Institutes of Health convened a conference on finding a cure for epilepsy. Susan Axelrod told me it was “one of the most important things anyone has done for epilepsy.” And this is how politics works: David Axelrod is now dedicated to derailing this woman’s career.

Axelrod is Obama’s chosen guru.  Wright is Obama’s black nationalism mentor.  Axelrod is Obama’s political mentor. Obama is the fusion of Wright and Axelrod.  They are the United Trinity of Chicago.
