The Red-Green Axis (Socialist/Communist-Islamist Cooperation)

“The Red-Green Axis - When analysts warn that Muslims are intent on imposing Islamic Law (sharia) in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, Islamic apologists snicker that Muslims represent only 1 percent of the U.S. population, so how could they be a threat to anyone? There are numerous reasons to be concerned. Some have claimed there is a "tipping point" when Muslim populations migrate to non-Muslim countries. This usually occurs when Muslim populations reach about 5 percent of the total. They begin to demand special privileges, like blocking off streets for prayer, special prayer times and worship rooms at work and public facilities and insisting on the non-interference of host law enforcement for the imposition of sharia within Muslim population enclaves. At higher percentages, this civil disobedience turns to violence and terrorism.[ 302] But in the U.S., this is already happening. The Islamic agenda, pursued by Islam's ambitious political and religious leaders and broadly supported by Muslim populations, is aggressively defended and promoted by the institutional Left, the legal Left, the education Left, the political Left, the media Left, the Hollywood Left, the religious Left, and now even the violent Left. These groups collectively represent a much larger percent of the U.S. population. As a result of the Left's successful penetration of our cultural institutions, the Islamic vanguard in this country now enjoys the commanding heights of popular culture. With the Left's help they can cajole, indoctrinate, threaten, and punish anyone who opposes them—virtually dictating terms to the rest of us. And as Islam gains political power under the tutelage of its leftist advocates, the entire Muslim population begins to feel empowered and justified in its demands for special treatment and entitled in its flagrant antisemitism and hatred for Christianity. These combined factors make Islam the perfect weapon for leftist subversion to take advantage of what is, in fact, a temporarily symbiotic relationship. The Left has used a very similar process to weaponize minority and other "marginalized" populations. So now for example, the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement—whose leadership is comprised entirely of hardcore Communists and Socialists[ 303]—has been elevated to the presumptive role of spokesman for all American blacks, even though many American blacks recognize and detest BLM for the virulently anti-American organization it is. The gay rights agenda has similarly metastasized into a tyrannical, extreme Left movement intent on forcing acceptance of transgender bathrooms, pedophilia/ pederasty, and even bestiality. It is baffling to some, but really no coincidence, that CAIR has now publicly allied itself with BLM, and claims to champion gay rights—while its Islamic brethren in the Middle East throw gays to their deaths from high-rise buildings and peddle in slavery of every kind. Prominent members of CAIR have joined Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the largest communist organization in America, with an estimated 44,000 members.[ 304] Linda Sarsour, the new model spokesperson for Islam, joined DSA in 2018. Newly-elected Michigan Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib bragged about her DSA membership during her campaign, while failed Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abdul El Sayed was christened "the Muslim Bernie." Somali refugee and former CAIR-Iowa director Abshir Omar makes no effort to hide his DSA credentials either.[ 305] Many Islamic leaders, including senior Iranian clerical figures, were educated at Moscow's Patrice Lumumba University (now called The Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia), a prominent training and KGB recruitment center for promising Third World students. While he denounced Saddam Hussein's socialist Ba'ath Party as infidels, even Osama bin Laden said that an alliance with Socialists against America, their common enemy, was justifiable.[ 306] At a 2018 event in Des Moines, Iowa, speaker John Guandolo, president of Understanding the Threat, engaged in a conversation with Abshir Omar. He asked Omar, "Is there a version of Islam that doesn't mandate killing apostates and homosexuals?" According to Guandolo, Omar answered, "No, all Islam agrees that apostates and homosexuals must be killed."[ 307] Given Islam's command to murder gays and apostates, the irony of devout Muslims allying with LGBTQ activists and blatant atheists, even becoming prominent members of such infidel organizations, cannot be ignored. Are these people really Muslims? Or does the objective of undermining Western civilization simply take precedence at this time? The Left has been seeking to undermine our Constitutional form of government and the rule-of-law for a century. For if the rule-of-law becomes unreliable, the rule of the fist takes over, and the Left is good at that. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has relentlessly chipped away at our Constitution for decades, most recently challenging Trump administration immigration policies by forum shopping to courts that the ACLU knows to be friendly to the Left. The open borders crowd challenges the rule-of-law by claiming "social justice" for illegal aliens is more important than law. It is all part of a strategy to sow chaos in our society and make it ungovernable by anyone except the Left. With the Islamic vanguard, the Left can really ramp up its game. Leading activists of the Islamic Movement are particularly useful because they sow discord and disunity by refusing to assimilate, and engage in practices lawful under sharia, but that violate U.S. law, like domestic abuse against women and girls, female genital mutilation (FGM), polygamy, pedophilia/ pederasty, and honor killing. They challenge American culture, traditions, and laws, and some courts are willing to side with them. Hiding behind the misapplication of the First Amendment's religious protections, they seek to undermine U.S. rule-of-law standards by demanding adoption of their own legal system, sharia. It is, rather, Article VI of the U.S. Constitution that should apply as the standard for lawful compliance in the U.S. As this author has argued almost since Barack Obama broke on the national scene, Obama is a hardcore communist. He was born to a Muslim Kenyan father, which according to Islamic Law, makes him legally a Muslim. He also has Muslim connections through his stepfather, the Indonesian Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo, and studied Qur’an and other subjects during elementary school years in an Indonesian madrassa. His middle name Hussein refers to Mohammed's grandson.[ 308] There is no record of Obama’s having apostatized from Islam at any point in his life or being baptized into the Christian faith. But Obama was mentored for eight years by a card-carrying Communist Party USA member, Frank Marshall Davis, and during his presidency surrounded himself with offspring and associates of Davis' Chicago Communist colleagues. His parents and grandparents were Communists, and the bizarre Islamic cult, Subud, that both his mother and stepfather joined, has communist—even Soviet—connections.[ 309] Obama's love for Islam, like that of most leftists, seems to be both cultural and strategic, because the Left has found Muslims to be the perfect wrecking ball for its subversive war against America. The unholy alliance of VOLAGs, their affiliates, and self-interested politicians serves the axis—knowingly or otherwise. The relentless effort to resettle refugees and other very needy, and too often unassimilable, groups from across the globe, is changing the political, economic, and cultural dynamic all over the U.S., especially in smaller communities that often escape the public eye. Meanwhile a bipartisan congressional cabal seeking cheap labor and new voters resists efforts to rein in legal immigration or even reduce illegal immigration. The Obama administration's dangerous support for all things Islamic facilitated unprecedented numbers of refugees and other immigrant classes from Muslim-majority nations to flood into the country. We have already witnessed the deadly consequences of these policies, as criminality and terrorist attacks committed by refugees and those resettled under other special immigrant categories begin to mirror the out-of-control situation in Western Europe. As refugee numbers grow, however, national organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) organize them, working hand-in-glove with American leftists to build power and subvert the rule of law, while attacking anyone who associates Muslim immigration with terrorism as Islamophobic. Organizing for Action Since the 2016 election, a nonstop, unprecedented, nationwide effort has been ongoing to undermine virtually every aspect of Trump's rule. Coming from many diverse quarters, all unified in opposition to different aspects of the Trump agenda, these offenses are actually the public face of the Red-Green Axis at work. Most prominent among these actors, though only occasionally making public appearances, is former president Obama. Unlike most past presidents, he has not been content to sit on the sidelines and instead has worked incessantly to undermine his successor. He has overseen and orchestrated many of the larger public street protests through OFA, the organization he founded in 2007 as Obama for America to launch his presidential campaign. Now known as Organizing for Action, OFA has gone through numerous phases. Following Obama's election, it was rebranded as Organizing for America to help promote his various agendas, especially Obamacare. It was dubbed "Obama 2.0" and benefited from a donor email list of over 13 million.[ 310] Then, during the 2012 election, it reverted to Obama for America as a grassroots campaign organization. Its current iteration was created in 2013 to once again promote Obama policies. During this process, a substantial organizational infrastructure was developed, and that infrastructure remains largely intact. Despite its "non-partisan" 501. c. 4 designation, OFA is a radically partisan group. Obama is able to remain at arm's length from the day-to-day operations of OFA, which he has delegated to a troop of trusted former Obama administration officials, many of whom have been involved off and on with OFA, some going back to its 2007 founding.[ 311] Instead, he oversees the Obama Foundation (OF). The Foundation's most prominent role is creation of the Obama Presidential Center—note that it is not referred to merely as a "library"—but its web description reveals greater ambitions: Founded in January 2014, the Obama Foundation is a living, working center for citizenship in the 21st century aimed at identifying, training, and connecting the next generation of leaders and engaged citizens. The Foundation is developing the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago to serve as headquarters for the projects it will undertake across the city, the nation, and around the world. Therefore, there is doubtless much interaction between OF and OFA. A noteworthy aspect of OFA funding is its continued broad base of support, doubtless built on the network of donors created since the organization's inception in 2009. According to Open Secrets, the group received a total of $ 9 million from 3,179 individuals over 2013 and 2014.[ 312] Donations ranged from a low of $ 250, to $ 1 million. Between 2015 and 2016, OFA took in another $ 16 million.[ 313] Funding for OFA includes donations from the following Obama Foundation Donors: David Shaw, $ 1 million, Mark Gallogly, $ 200,000, and Tom Campion, $ 100,000. But there were other noteworthy wealthy donors. Amy Goldman Fowler contributed $ 750,000 over two years. Fowler is the daughter of deceased billionaire New York developer Sol Goldman[ 314]. She is a well-known horticulturalist and is married to Cary Fowler, another famed horticulturalist and former executive director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust. Now called the Crop Trust, (net assets $ 167 million)[ 315], it was formed of a partnership with the UN and other international organizations dedicated to preserving "agricultural diversity"—UN control over world food supplies in other words.[ 316] Ryan Smith, the founding manager of Variance Ventures, a Salt Lake City venture capitalist, contributed $ 476,260. He is a member of "Patriotic Millionaires," a group of wealthy Americans "committed to building a more prosperous, stable and inclusive nation."[ 317] Smith is described on its "Who We Are" page: Ryan became involved in progressive political issues via the Obama campaign and has continued to work with groups such as Democracy For America, Organizing For Action and Mew Media Ventures to name a few.[ 318] Marcy Carsey contributed $ 250,000 to OFA over the 2013-2014 timeframe. She is a Hollywood-based TV producer. Her husband, Tom Werner, is also a producer and chairman of the Boston Red Sox. In 2014 he was a finalist for Commissioner of Major League Baseball, but the job ultimately went to Rob Manfred.[ 319] Between them, they have produced such TV shows as Mork & Mindy, Happy Days, Soap, Taxi, Roseanne, and Third Rock from the Sun. Werner and Carsey were friends and advisers to Bill Clinton during his tenure. Werner was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1996. Kenneth Levine is a former McAfee vice president. He is the co-founder of Brookline Venture Partners LLC and is also General Partner of Terawatt Ventures.[ 320] Architect Jon Stryker contributed $ 100,000. Stryker is a New York based billionaire, worth $ 3.2 billion, and listed #251 on Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans.[ 321] He founded Arcus Foundation, a philanthropy dedicated to LGTB issues and conservation of great apes. Its mission statement: Arcus believes that respect for diversity among peoples and in nature is essential to a positive future for our planet and all its inhabitants. We work with experts and advocates for change to ensure that LGBT people and our fellow apes thrive in a world where social and environmental justice are a reality.[ 322] With $ 5.6 billion, Stryker's sister, Ronda, is even wealthier, ranked #114 of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans.[ 323] She did not contribute to OFA, and says "I don't have a passion for politics … I don't like what it does to people. I'm always disappointed.” She and her siblings, however, are "are on the same page" politically.[ 324] This is certainly true. While brother Jon devotes himself to gays and gorillas, sister Pat Stryker is yet another billionaire member of the Stryker clan (real time net worth $ 2.3 billion).[ 325] She and fellow Coloradan, gay activist and Obama Foundation donor, Tim Gill, were the big money behind the Democrats' successful effort to "turn Colorado blue." Their effort was the focus of a 2010 book, The Blueprint: How the Democrats Won Colorado (and Why Republicans Everywhere Should Care).[ 326] The "Blueprint" strategy has since been applied in numerous other states.[ 327] There are many more like this among the 3,000 odd contributors, and doubtless more in the wings. Table 24, updated with the most recent data, lists the largest donors.[ 328] Table 24 2013-2014 OFA Donations Donor Total Donations to OFA Affiliation David Shaw $ 1,000,000 DE Shaw Research Amy Goldman Fowler $ 750,000 Sol Goldman Investments Ryan Smith $ 476,260 Variance Ventures Marcy Carsey $ 250,000 Carsey-Werner LLC John Goldman $ 225,000 John and Marcia Goldman Foundation Mark Gallogly $ 200,000 Centerbridge Partners Kenneth Levine $ 200,000 Venture Capitalist Jon Stryker $ 200,000 Jon Stryker Architecture Laure Woods $ 190,550 Philanthropist Barbara Stiefel $ 175,000 Stiefel Medicinal Soap Co. heir Barbara Grasseschi $ 165,000 Puma Springs Vineyards William H. Freeman $ 160,000 Freeman Webb Co. Evan Goldberg $ 150,000 Netsuite Inc. Sandra McNeil-Rogers $ 125,100 NJ Powerball sweepstakes winner Anthony P.

Subsequently, Indivisible groups were the prime movers behind much of the early post-election, anti-Trump protests.[ 330] For all we know, Obama could have ordered its creation. Like so many other radical Left organizations, it gets funding from George Soros and others. Its laundry list of goals includes getting rid of Trump & Co.: Impeach Them for Crimes and Misdemeanors Force Their Resignation Through Protest Expose Their Lies and Defend Truth It is difficult to square this with Indivisible's supposed commitment to "legal, non-violent protest and political action," and other declared goals of defending and strengthening civil rights. What about the civil rights of Trump supporters? What about the legal authority of a democratically elected president? Indivisible claims to borrow its methods from the Tea Party. Former Trump press secretary, Sean Spicer, however, rejected that comparison. The Tea Party was a spontaneous, "very organic movement,” he said, while Indivisible is "a very paid, Astroturf-type movement.”[ 331] A hyper-partisan Organizing for Action clone.”
