Another Noteworthy Barack Obama Connection: Conspiracy Theorist, Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour

Here's another of Barack Obama's friends that Americans should definitely know more about.

He is Dr. Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (born Donald Warden) whose 1995 book claimed that the U.S. government was planning the genocide of black Americans. Dr. al-Mansour also has been a harsh critic of Israel and has served as a major advisor to Saudi Royal family members seeking to improve and extend their influence in the United States. And according to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkeley, when he was still Donald Warden, the fellow was a mentor to Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale.

Investor's Business Daily last Friday wrote a fascinating editorial about Dr. al-Mansour's assistance to Barack Obama. It is a short piece but the news it contains is explosive and certainly deserves careful attention. But, of course, the old guard media is interested only in associations that might hurt Republicans. And if they have studiously avoided exploring the connections of Barack Obama with the likes of Ayers, Wright, Rezko, Pfleger, Khalidi and others, why bother now with the revelation of this relationship?

The IBD editorial explains that Percy Sutton, former borough president of Manhattan and once a candidate for the mayor of New York, (also a decorated WW II pilot with the Tuskegee Airmen, lawyer for Malcolm X, and a former business partner of al-Mansour) wrote a letter which helped Obama get into Harvard back in 1977. Sutton was asked to do so by al-Mansour who was also raising money to help pay for Obama's education. (Obama has claimed he paid for his schooling only through student loans.)

..."The friend's name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas," Sutton said. "He is the principal adviser to one of the world's richest men. He told me about Obama."

Sutton recalled that al-Mansour said, "There is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?" Sutton did...


What did this radical extremist
[al-Mansour] see in young Barack Obama that he would seek to sponsor and perhaps finance Obama's education? Obama says he paid his way solely through student loans. How did they meet? Where did the money he raised come from? Now that we know who the father of Bristol Palin's baby is, maybe the mainstream media will have time to find out.
