WASHINGTON – First, the Democrats got clobbered in the election by the Republicans.
Now they’re squaring off against each other in a civil war.
This political Gettysburg pits the Democratic Party base against the Obama machine called Organizing for Action, or OFA, the community-organizing army left over from the former president’s election campaigns.
How bitter is the battle?
Two Democratic operatives recently called OFA “The Devil.”
When former President Obama issued a call to arms to his OFA troops in order to protect his legacy, particularly Obamacare, Stephen Handwerk, executive director of the Louisiana Democratic Party, wrote in a private email to fellow party leaders, “This is some GRADE A Bulls–t right here.”
President Obama
He added, “It also to me seems TONE DEAF—we have lost over 1,000 seats in the past 8 years … all because of this crap.”
The email was obtained and then published Friday by the Daily Beast, which reported: “It is difficult to overstate just how enraged state Democratic activists and leaders are with Organizing for Action.”
How powerful is OFA?
Just a week ago, WND’s former Washington bureau chief Paul Sperry portrayed OFA in the New York Post as an army “gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country” manned by 32,525 volunteers nationwide, run by old Obama aides and campaign workers armed with his 2012 campaign database.
Sperry called it Obama’s “army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.”
Sperry warned Obama would be “working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration,” and that “it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, Obamacare, race relations and climate change.”
Obama may have an army, but who will they follow?
“I love and adore everything about President Obama except for OFA,” said South Carolina Democratic Party chairman Jaime Harrison, according to the Washington Post.
He was just one of numerous Democratic Party leaders who have insisted their beef is with OFA, not Obama.
But OFA is Obama, the way Sperry describes it.
He is their supreme leader. And running OFA is his new job. The former president who would be shadow president.
“Obama will be overseeing it all from a shadow White House located within two miles of Trump,” wrote Sperry. “It features a mansion, which he’s fortifying with construction of a tall brick perimeter, and a nearby taxpayer-funded office with his own chief of staff and press secretary.”
So, what happened? While Obama tools OFA to become a potent threat to Trump, why do Democratic leaders feel threatened by OFA? How did their common desire to go to war with the Trump administration turn into a fratricidal battle royale for control of the party?
It appears to have been a battle long brewing beneath the surface that is now emerging into public view.
“[With] all due respect to President Obama, OFA was created as a shadow party because Obama operatives had no faith in state parties. So I hope the OFA role is none. I hope OFA closes their doors and allows the country and state parties to get to the hard work of rebuilding the party at the local and grass-roots level,” Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb told Politico.
She further explained why it has not, on the whole, been a winning strategy: “OFA had no faith or confidence in the state parties so they created a whole separate organization, they took money away and centralized it in D.C. They gave us a great president for eight years, but we lost everywhere else.”
“If we were having a conversation about state parties, I would say OFA hurt state parties badly,” Handwerk told The Daily Beast, elaborating on his leaked email. “It certainly had an undercutting effort. And there is a lot of work state parties do that isn’t very sexy… and that becomes incredibly difficult when budgets are cut in half because people are trying to curry favor with the president and his allies.”
Compounding what Politico called “a period in which the party suffered tremendous losses at the state and local levels” since Obama won in 2008, was what it described as a “degree of mistrust — rooted in the idea that OFA was always primarily interested in advancing the president’s political interests, often at the expense of the party.”
And now that OFA wants to take the lead in rebuilding the party, the party is fighting back. Democratic leaders see it as a matter of self-preservation and survival.
“[OFA] created a shadow organization that was recruiting the same volunteers [as the Democratic National Committee], using resources from a very limited number of donors, and therefore, as a result it weakened the DNC and the impact that the DNC and state parties could have on politics during his tenure,” South Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison told Politico.
He added, “You’ve got five organizations knocking on the same door with five different messages. That’s not conducive. In the age of Trump we need to be a lean, mean, strategic machine.”
Another key problem seemed to be the perception that OFA wasn’t about the party, it was all about Obama.
“We’ve seen over the last eight-plus years a deterioration of permanent state infrastructure,” a Democratic operative anonymously confided to the Daily Beast.
“And,” he explained, “OFA built an alternative infrastructure that was very top-down. OFA’s actions were wasteful, duplicative, and it made no sense… There were these tensions on the ground that we saw that all over the country. Local officials felt tossed aside. A lot of these red states were abandoned. The OFA model was never a 50-state strategy—it was about the president’s agenda.”
That revelation may be clear now to party leaders, but former Rep. Michele Bachmann mused, “I wonder if rank and file democrats understand Obama was about advancing his personal agenda through his OFA community organization?”
That Democratic operative’s reaction to seeing OFA trying to get back in the game?
“It’s like seeing an ex-girlfriend show up.”
On top of the explicit animosity toward OFA, and the implicit resentment of Obama, is a legacy the party must now face.
The former president doesn’t get Democrats elected, he gets them defeated.
Obama’s coattails were strongest before he became president, sweeping into office with majorities in the House and the Senate, allowing him to push through Obamacare without a single Republican vote.
Democrats have been losing power and elections at an astonishing rate, ever since.
Bachmann told WND, “Next to Jimmy Carter, Obama single handedly did more to destroy the Democratic Party than the GOP could have ever hoped or planned.”
Under Obama’s reign, Democrats lost a net total of 1,042 state and federal posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and, ultimately, the presidency.
By the time the 2014 midterm elections rolled around, as WND reported, Democrats were running away from Obama.
Only one Democratic senator running for reelection wanted Obama to appear with him on the campaign trail in 2014.
And even at that, candidate Gary Peters less-than-enthusiastically observed, “The president will come to Michigan to campaign, and I’m going to stand next to the president.
But, Democrats didn’t just shun Obama on the campaign trail. They actually campaigned against him.
That was illustrated by campaign quotes from desperate Democratic candidates in the key races that caused the party to lose control of the Senate.
Kentucky’s Democratic candidate for Senate, Alison Lundergan Grimes declared in an ad, “I’m not Barack Obama. I disagree with him on guns, coal and the EPA.”
The Democrat refused to say during an interview whether she even voted for Obama in 2012,calling it her “constitutional right” to stay mum.
“Let me tell you, the White House, when they look down the front lawn the last person they want to see coming is me,” warned Democrat Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado during a debate.
Sen. Mark Begich, the Democratic incumbent from Alaska insisted he “took on Obama” to fight for oil drilling in Alaska and would “bang him over the head a few times” on the need to drill.
Democratic incumbent Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas paused during his debate before making his closing statement to make sure everyone knew, “I voted against every budget that President Obama has offered.”
Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu made a point of emphasizing during her debate, “I do not agree with President Obama on his energy policies,” later adding, “I haven’t agreed with President Obama on everything.” She also damned the president with faint praise, giving his job performance a “6-to-7” out of 10.
When asked on MSNBC if she thought the president had “shown strong leadership,” Democrat Sen. Kay Hagan of North Carolina hedged a bit before conceding, “Certainly there are issues I think on … um, no.”
During her debate in New Hampshire, Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen was asked if she approved of Obama’s job performance, “Yes or no?” The incumbent evoked a wave of laughter from the audience when she responded instead, “In some things I approve and in some things I don’t approve.”
The former president’s campaign guru, David Axelrod, told NBC’s “Meet The Press” it was a “mistake” for Obama to claim his policies were on the ballot.
“I think Obama being so unpopular is the biggest factor in this election,” predicted Tom Jensen, a Democratic pollster with the firm Public Policy Polling. “And I think at the end of the day, it may be too much for a lot of the Democratic Senate candidates to overcome.”
He was right.
Now, in the disastrous aftermath, Obama is calling upon Democrats to regroup and unite behind OFA.
But, judging by the initial reaction of party leaders, he may be trying to lead an army of rebels.

Now Democrats call Obama’s shadow government ‘The Devil’

I’m also revealing that Obama’s real name is Barry Parks: investigate that by Googling it.
Why is no one recognizing me as Messiah and Jesus’ 2d Coming? Just askin. It seems strange that that news won’t get out. But “no one knows the day and hour of that news being spread”, not even me, says the Bible.
Now to give a short timeline of events leading up to today, let’s look at my youth when I was brought up in the USA and France to a family influenced by Theosophy and schooling such as Rudolf Steiner’s schools. Theosophy’s basic influence is Buddhism from Helena Blavatsky’s Russian background where the influence of Tibetan Buddhism is rife due to the Mongolian Buddhists within the Russian Federation of nations.
My family relative the Royal Count Tolstoy was also a Theosophical spiritualist and corresponded with Gandhi, who also was himself influenced by Buddhism and Theosophy.
My wife and I studied Tibetan language and culture at Paris University for five years in the mid-80s..
But when still a child, when I reached 15 years old, I was attracted to the religious life and sought to find a master to teach me meditation or yoga.
This brought me to Tibetan Buddhism which I practised for many years as a religious Buddhist starting from 1970.
In the late 90s, I sought to pass on my knowledge on Internet and particularly my research upon Kalachakra the deity-teachings which announce the Apocalypse within Tibetan Buddhism.
My work on Internet suddenly screeched to a halt though when Obama started running for president in early 2007 because I saw on Internet a school registration to Obama’s name stating his faith as Muslim: that was a signal of a red flag to me.
Indeed, that set up a red alert signal to me and during the whole of 2007 I dedicated myself solely to fighting against Obama’s election.
To achieve that, I sought to find the most powerful anti-Obama video that I could find on You Tube so as to go and find people to share my convictions with.
Through that same logic I tried to find all kinds of venues, forums, blogs, videos, articles’ comments on Internet etc…so as to criticise and block Obama but I ended up on the video with most views and most comments that deals with the birther issue: Obama Citizenship: I Invented the Internet (Ep. 6: October Surprise)
Obama Citizenship: I Invented The Internet (Ep. 6: October Surprise)
Briefly, my logic during the first years of Obama’s power was that I wasn’t interested in being the Messiah.
Indeed, I am a Buddhist and very content with that. I have no wish to be Christian seeing I’m an ex-Christian.
I have famous people in my family that are Christians.
I have 2 ancestors who were the Pope’s Chamberlain: Baron Wilhelm Wedel-Jarlsberg and Count Christopher de Paus (he’s of Royal Count Tolstoy’s branch of our family).
I’m Buddhist and have rejected Christianity as an evil faith: Tibetan Tantric Buddhism is the highest form of culture in the world and Buddhism hasn’t made war and therefore isn’t evil in making war like Christianity has.
My family was into evil ways when it was Christian – and when it was Anarchist as Tolstoy is the great Anarchist/Communist hero, (who is world-famous).
How did I get pressured against my will to be the Messiah?
Well, I had set my goal on revealing that Obama was the Antichrist of Christianity: indeed, I had the ironclad proof because the lottery draw of 666 cursed Obama the day of his celebration of victory.
I thought of myself as a messenger dropping in on Christians and telling them who their Antichrist was.
I thought of it as “delivery” end times prophecy. We live in the age of drop-off, home-delivery, through Amazon or Domino’s Pizza.
Indeed, Christianity is alien to me. So I wouldn’t want to even be caught dead being the Christian Messiah. I had the idea I’d just drop off the message – like a mailman – and MOVE ON to other stuff (my mission as a Buddhist fits with the King of Shambhala prophecy of the world’s saviour and not with the Christian prophecy of the “Messiah”).
But Christians went overboard when I showed up with that message for them.
Indeed, they more or less grabbed me and dragged me inside for an in-depth soul-searching conversation and scan of my innermost soul. But I got fed up with the spiritual moments with them….as I’ll explain now.
Off the bat indeed, they went BEZERK and harrassed me with questions about who I was and what my beliefs were. It was a mix of fear and awe at me. Very scary.
They were interviewing me for the job of Messiah in fact (and they weren’t liking what they were seeing me as, because to them in their book, Buddhism meant “blasphemous heresy”.).
I got so fed up of them ‘killing the messenger’, that I got mad and said: “Like the message or not I’m the Messenger. I never said I’m the Messiah, it’s you who keep hammering away that I must be the Messiah.” So I said: “Seeing you don’t like me being Buddhist etc… well tough luck for you, I’m the Messiah whether you like it or not because my message is ironclad and I’ll ram it down your stupid ugly Christian throats by force if need be.”
This message which is pretty simple is so hard to grasp, that people in the comments just can’t get their heads around it.
The problem with the Christians was that they were killing the messenger (they’re hateful anti-Buddhist bigots at the core).
The people in the comments here are stuck in Christian-towards-heathen oppositions that block out all rational thinking.
And I didn’t want them to ‘kill the messenger’ and for me to take that sitting down. The backward fundie-style Christians who were killing the message I was bringing, were evidently ugly people who were not worthy of any intellectual exchange.
So that’s how I got suckered into being the Christian Messiah because all the Christians were rejecting me WHOLESALE.
Because of the cluelessly low level of the Christians who were attacking me, I decided to do it my way. I didn’t need those backwards. I just went out and proclaimed the Apocalypse.
But more obstacles lay further along the road.
To retrack the evennts: I went to Wikipedia to edit the pages about the ‘Antichrist’, about ’666′, about the ‘Hideous Beast’, about the ‘Apocalypse’, the ‘Revelation’ etc….
Well, Wikipedia’s people flipped their coils so fast when I got there that it made my head spin.
They banned me from editing and warned me to stop trying to edit that 666 had turned up the day of Obama’s celebration of his victory.
They came to my personal email to warn me they’d monitor what I wrote on Internet and that they’d make a special website to smear and slander me at wikidot.com. But the incredible thing is that the words they told me then, back in 2008 or 2009, they actually went through with. They faithfully monitored my posts throughout Internet (I’d like to request Team Trump to investigate how they did that. Did they put mics and moniroting devices on my computer etc… It looks like this was governement spying. This could be a major investigation like WIkileaks so I’d request Trump to send me his staff to find out what’s going on.)
They set up the said wikidot website and they MAINTAINED IT TILL TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re talking about severe mentally challenged people here. They did all this because I’m saying Obama’s the Antichrist. This is a case of the “lady protesting a bit too much”.
Why are they so nervous that I say Obama’s the Antichrist? They’re hiding SOMETHING….
I took that into my stride at first. But I realized that they would have to be overcome by force because they were really riled up in a bad way.
I realized that I had determined foes facing me and during these years I’ve seen now that they were not taking me lightly at all.
I also realized that they were many and that they were in this fight ttill it’s bitter end. They didn’t see this battle as a small one and for me to win was not acceptable for them.
That’s when I realized that this was really the Apocalypse, because such a rallying of forces was only possible by one single person and that was the Antichrist, aka Satan-in-Person.
After a lot of floundering around on Internet, and fighting Obama through the birth issue battle, I found BeforeItsNews which is a haven of peace and calm amidst the raging realm of Internet. Internet does not allow anyone to speak freely and gangs of Nazis troll it continuously and effortlessly.
BIN’s the only place on Internet where ordinary thinking is more or less proscribed. Commonplace, prejudiced thinking is not practised at all BIN. The only thinking that’s accepted there is out-of-the-box, creative, special thinking.
I obviously fit in immediately, seeing I was fleeing the middle-ages thinking of Christians, of Leftist/Communists and backward inbred, homo dorks of all stripes, kinds and form. Obama really draws evil to him. I was searching for any place in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD where I could freely say Obama’s the Antichrist and put forth my proof of that without being targeted by Jihadist-style, medieval people.
Obama Minions were threatening me and hounding me throughout Internet.
To make a long story short, I set up making articles regularly, building myself a fan-base which is impressive now, spreading the news and hounding down Obama seeing the Bible announces his final defeat and the Apocalypse.
Now is the time.
also see here for me…. Mentally ill and criminal trolls have been heckling me for years because they object to the fact I’m the Messiah and nothing they say, can change that truth because I alone reveal that the lottery in Obama’s homestate drew 666 (the Mark of the Beast aka the Number of the Antichrist) the day after his election. Wikipedia says that to troll is a pathological behaviour. Ignore the trolls: they’re crazy.
I’m a person of high spiritual realization (University Tibetan culture/language studies, 8-month meditation retreat, foremost Buddhist Kalachakra authority). My family is a royal family (our relative Count Leo Tolstoy is the highest/ most ancient royal aristocratic lineage in Russia. We have family-relatives who were Papal Chamberlains such as Baron Baron Wilhelm Wedel-Jarlsberg and Count Christopher de Paus) from Norway, and among others my grandmother’s aunt Else Werring was the Royal Norwegian Palace’s “Mistress of the Robes” (the hostess/organizer of the royal palace’s events) for 27 years, until 1985.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has just started blasting Obama with the full force, so now Team Trump, Larry Klaymann and Orly Taitz and us all will have to sue Obama together for stealing our lives by his forged birth certificate. Follow me in revealing the Antichrist Obama and his forged birth certificate which proves his High Treason.
The shills defending Obama in the comments are way out left field.
They’re still defending Obama when the Democrats themselves are turning coat on Obama.
The last desperadoes are still holing out at BIN’s comments and are putting up the last stand like Hitler in his Bunker.
Aww, poor old KOS, is that how you feel in 2017? Still telling people that Obama is the antichrist who will launch the nukes and end the world, when he’s left the presidency and left his nukes behind and nobody cares any more and it couldn’t possibly matter. The last desperado.
Perhaps find something else to focus on this year, hey?
