Valerie Jarrett Cradle Communist

FBI Files Show Obama's Top Advisor Has Communist Kin, 06/24/2015, IBD

Subversion: FBI files confirm what we feared in 2008 — that the president and his closest advisor come from a long line of Communists. Not liberals or socialists, but Reds. And now we've all inherited their socialized medicine.

FBI papers obtained by government watchdog Judicial Watch document hard-core communism in the family of Valerie Jarrett, President Obama's most trusted and influential White House advisor. Here's what they reveal about her Chicago kin, who were known as "concealed Communists":

Her late father, James E. Bowman, was involved with Communist front groups and was in contact with a paid Soviet agent in the 1950s — Alfred Stern — who was wanted for espionage.

Jarrett's maternal grandfather, Robert Rochon Taylor, was investigated by the FBI for his membership in Communist groups and his business relationship with the same Soviet agent tied to her father.

Her late father-in-law, Vernon D. Jarrett, was assigned by the Communist Party USA to a special cultural arts "cell" that spread "the Communist Party line" and ran publicity for communist candidates and also raised money for them, the FBI says.

He helped the cell spread communist propaganda "among the middle class," indoctrinating them through newspaper columns, radio shows, speeches, plays and other cultural anesthesia.

Jarrett was such a threat as a Communist propagandist that he was flagged by the FBI as an internal security risk to be swiftly arrested in the event of a hot war with the Soviet Union. The FBI also investigated his wife, Fernetta "Fern" Jarrett, for Communist activities.

These FBI files on Jarrett's relatives are voluminous, covering their un-American activities during the height of the Cold War, when the FBI said the Communist Party USA sought to alter the American form of government "by unconstitutional means." (Sound familiar?)

That people running our country are the children of Communists ought to trigger an avalanche of in-depth news stories. Yet even with documentary evidence to safely guide them, the White House press corps yawns.

"If her father was waving the Confederate flag, I'm sure there'd be massive media interest in how that impacted (Valerie Jarrett's) politics," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told us.

Long before Obama was nominated in 2008, we ran a controversial series called "The Audacity of Socialism," in which we tried to warn voters that Obama and his ilk were a different breed of Democrat.

These weren't garden-variety liberals, we argued, but radicals orbiting anti-American subversives whom Democrats like Truman and Kennedy once went after.

We also noted that Obama himself was the son of a socialist anthropologist and Marxist economist who met in a college Russian-language studies class. Now it turns out that his top aide comes from the same Communist family. Connecting the dots further, both the Jarrett and Obama clans are tied to Frank Marshall Davis. A card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, Davis worked in Chicago in the same Soviet fronts with Jarrett's father-in-law, as well as her grandfather Taylor, the first African-American head of the Chicago Housing Authority.

Davis also worked with Harry and David Canter, Soviet agents who took Obama political advisor David Axelrod, another Red diaper baby (his mother worked for a Communist newspaper), under their wing.

The FBI had Davis, who in Communist organs advocated for socialized medicine, bashed Wall Street banks and demonized Winston Churchill (sound familiar?), under surveillance for two decades.

After it put him on its "security index," targeting him for arrest, he fled Chicago for Honolulu. There, Davis befriended Obama's grandfather, Stanley Dunham, a Communist sympathizer with an FBI case file. Dunham arranged young Obama's indoctrination by Davis.

That Obama would end up working as an agitator in Chicago — the birthplace of the Communist Party USA — is no coincidence. Eventually, Jarrett would plug him into her Hyde Park neighbors — Communist terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn — who launched his political career in a fundraiser held in their living room.

Ayers is also a neighbor and friend of Jarrett's mother, Barbara Taylor Bowman, who co-founded the leftist Erickson Institute with fellow traveler Erik Erikson and sat on its board with Ayers' father and daughter-in-law.

Communist nuts don't fall far from the tree. Tragically for our country, which is seeing its health care system ruined and its borders and national security erased, the nuts fell into the White House.
