How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency

[LarryW]

Doubt the goal is to just oppose Trump. That's small change. Rather to reconfigure or perhaps replace the Democratic Party altogether with a brand new Progressive Party (perhaps led by some former POTUS). It's hard to ignore this stuff. The development of a Progressive Party, however, is less a concern by far than the cultivation of a shadow government. All they'd need to swoop in and save America from itself is a calamity, another 911.

Of course the hazard is that one will put on the tin hats. But, these people would love nothing more than to ultimately see a new Constitutional Convention following a groundswell of a Progressive Party. Stand by.

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency

When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an 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.

In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s 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 its popular “America First” agenda.

He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.

Since Donald Trump’s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, “We’re not backing down.” Determined to salvage Obama’s legacy, it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change.

From the Organizing For Action web site.

We’re community organizers, and we’re proud of it.

"With more than 250 local chapters around the country, OFA volunteers are building this organization from the ground up, community by community, one conversation at a time—whether that’s on a front porch or on Facebook. We’re committed to finding and training the next generation of great progressive organizers, because at the end of the day, we aren’t the first to fight for progressive change, and we won’t be the last."

Take a deep breath. Then take action.
FEBRUARY 13, 2017

Every week, it seems like the current administration and Congress are just going through a list of issues progressive organizers care most about and dedicating their efforts to rolling back our hard-won progress. And it's not just on big-ticket items like Obamacare—they're also going after lesser-known common-sense measures, such as those that make it harder for the mentally ill to buy a gun and a rule that prevented financial advisors from bilking their customers' retirement savings. It's troubling to see years of progress and hard work on the line, but here's how community organizers get through it: We take action.

Keep in mind that progress never comes served on a silver platter; we've always had to work for it. From marriage equality to climate change to health care reform, it's taken years—sometimes decades—of sustained effort from a broad base of citizens to bring these issues to the forefront and persuade decision-makers to move us forward. So in that sense, this new political climate is no different. We've been here before.

When the news gets to be overwhelming, take a deep breath, think of how far we've come and how it came about, and remember that we community organizers carry that torch. Organizing, speaking out, and standing up for what's right is what we do—and we're not going to back down now.

There will certainly be more fights to come and more ways to push back, but here's a short list of actions we can take right now.

OUR ISSUES
Climate change
Immigration reform
Economic opportunity
Expanding equality
Gun violence prevention
Health care
Stand with women

Another brief glimpse into the world of community organizers at the link to last night's interview below - Yvette is a middle school teacher...oh the irony of her definition of fascism...these fanatics are serious.

Tucker Carlson Has UC Berkeley Protest Leader Yvette Felarca Explain Fascism

FWIW - BAMN = is a group calling itself: By Any Means Necessary. Tool around that site for a while and get a flavor for what is facing the nation today..."American Spring?"

I hope that Keith Ellison is chosen as DNC chairman. It will let the remaining sane democrats know just how far off-track the democratic party has gone.

I enjoy watching Tucker continuously hand people a bigger shovel when their hole isn't deep enough already.

If my son had that teacher she would lose her mind and be taken off in a straight jacket by the end of the day. (He's a fourth grader so I've still got time but he already knows more than she does. OTOH - she might be taken off in handcuffs via a hospital for sustained injuries and arrested for inciting violence.)

Tucker handled that interview well.

As for the sabotage to Trump's presidency...

We witness a constant attack on Trump's legitimacy...

The community organizers have the roadmap...the fundamental objective is social revolution...first, gain attention...then...

..."localized guerrilla war,” then “war of movement” and finally “general uprising.”

We've seen the movie before.

Myopia will be their downfall.
It's a big country with politically diverse populations, state governments, and local governments.

They will only succeed in fouling their own nests.
...And the Federal government will not likely bail them out of their mess.

Respectfully, currently we are fundamentally in an information war in the Information Age.

Subversion, instability, illegitimacy...these are the tools of the insurgents...for now...

...then...arms might be supplied to the street thugs. The black block types are already in the street...the fanatics will (if an environment for instability grows) eventually take it to the next level a la the Weathermen (and others) of the late 1960's -1970s.

When we have groups calling themselves "By Any Means Necessary", it makes you wonder just how far they will go. Especially, when you consider the domestic terrorists such as Bill Ayers and others who are influential to these up and coming so-called activists.

Oh, they mean by any means necessary. Never underestimate a psychotic, indoctrinated, radical (ETA: or a true believer). Prudence requires that you take them at their word. Unfortunately, the USA has both domestic and foreign groups actively (aggressively) vying for the same revolution, for now...they'll fight among themselves after the social upheaval quiets down. The good guys need to win this one.

You read a lot of Alex Jones and Paul Watson articles too?
