On food stamps? Buy a house! Vadum confronts ACORN spokesman over its role in the mortgage crisis

Here’s a video from Neil Cavuto’s show on Fox News in which I confront an ACORN spokesman. As I write in Subversion Inc., ACORN wasn’t solely responsible for the mortgage crisis but it played a significant role in it, pushing the awful Community Reinvestment Act which is essentially a financial affirmative action law. ACORN also intimidated banks into accepting food stamps as income on loan applications. The radical un-American group ACORN is very much alive despite reports of its demise. It is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the … Continue reading On food stamps? Buy a house! Vadum confronts ACORN spokesman over its role in the mortgage crisis

Citizen Soros: Funding Anti-American Film (Part 3 of 3)

(Continued from Part 2) Recap: Radical funder George Soros’s $1 million gift to Media Matters, a left-wing character assassination machine, underwrites its campaign to stigmatize conservative ideas. For weeks Eric Boehlert of Media Matters attacked Glenn Beck because a disturbed viewer plotted to shoot up the offices of the left-wing Tides Foundation. The shooter, Byron Williams, failed, but in December when a fan of Media Matters, the late Florida school board shooter Clay Duke, wreaked havoc, Boehlert and Media Matters remained silent. Soros is also bankrolling a documentary that celebrates left-wing terrorists who plotted to napalm Republicans at the 2008 … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Funding Anti-American Film (Part 3 of 3)

A note on Michael J. Gaynor’s careless blog post

Fellow ACORN hunter Michael J. Gaynor, who like me was praised by Michelle Malkin for pursuing the ACORN story when it was being ignored, is certainly entitled to his opinion about my book Subversion Inc., but he is not entitled to his own set of facts. In a blog post Gaynor asserts that I failed to include in my book a story that the American voters need to know–the story of how Anita MonCrief, an ex-ACORN insider, became a confidential source for The New York Times in the summer of 2008, The Times killed an ACORN/Obama expose before Election Day 2008, Times … Continue reading A note on Michael J. Gaynor’s careless blog post

USS Cesar Chavez? Why not the USS Saul Alinsky?

Incredibly, the U.S. Navy has decided to name a cargo ship after the guy who came up with the Obama campaign slogan, “Yes, we can!” That man is the late labor agitator and community organizer Cesar Chavez. Chavez’s union, the United Farm Workers, used the saying he coined as its official motto. (In Spanish, “¡Sí se puede!”) The decision to name a Navy ship after this radical is remarkable not only because President Obama’s teleprompter has the phrase “Yes, we can!” burnt into it from the phrase’s overuse, but because the far-left leader was a disciple of communist sympathizer Saul … Continue reading USS Cesar Chavez? Why not the USS Saul Alinsky?

Citizen Soros: Suppressing Conservative Ideas (Part 2 of 3) by Matthew Vadum

(Continued from Part 1) Recap: Radical philanthropist George Soros gave $1 million to Media Matters for America, a well-funded slander shop that roots out “conservative misinformation.” It’s all part of his campaign to suppress conservative ideas that stand in the way of pushing America even farther to the left. The left has been hyperventilating about Beck ever since he moved from CNN to Fox News in early 2009 and quickly became the Obama administration’s most vociferous high-profile critic. In particular, liberals could not abide Beck righteously fulminating against the shadowy Tides Foundation, a pass-through entity that allows wealthy individuals to … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Suppressing Conservative Ideas (Part 2 of 3) by Matthew Vadum

Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 of 3), by Matthew Vadum

He has conquered the world of finance and remains firmly on top of it. He writes bestselling books. He dominates leftist philanthropy. He co-founded the Democracy Alliance, an ultra-secretive billionaires’ club that wants to transform America into a European-style socialist state – or worse. He owns the Democratic Party. Now George Soros, who also fancies himself a philosopher, is positioning himself as a media magnate in order to continue his assault on America’s values and institutions. Like the protagonist in the classic Orson Welles movie Citizen Kane, Soros can never have enough power. But unlike Charles Foster Kane, the haughty, … Continue reading Citizen Soros: Manipulating the Media (Part 1 of 3), by Matthew Vadum

Surprise! Obama’s ACORN Thugs Are Alive And Preparing for 2012

A blog post I put in the American Spectator this morning: ACORN is far, far worse than everything you’ve heard. It celebrates and promotes the worst pathologies in society in an effort to kill the American experiment in self-governance. And the rumors of ACORN’s death have been greatly exaggerated. The radical group declared bankruptcy at the end of 2010, but its leaders acknowledge that they are building a new network of activist groups to continue ACORN’s work undermining America’s free institutions.  As predicted in my new book Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers, … Continue reading Surprise!

Why Aren’t Community Organizers in Prison Where They Belong?: ‘Subversion Inc.’ Book Preview (Part 4 of 4)

A preview article from NewsReal blog. It reads: ACORN’s anti-democratic, un-American activities are not legitimate political advocacy protected by the First Amendment. They cry out for prosecution under federal racketeering laws. [The push for a racketeering probe got a boost in April 2011 when ACORN was convicted in a massive voter fraud conspiracy in Nevada. The felony conviction came after the book had gone to press. -MV] Former Chicago ACORN leader Madeline Talbott is a master of the bank shakedown.

Obama’s secret plan to help Democrats by flushing 9/11: You won’t believe how president sought to change meaning of catastrophic day

A new report from WND highlights more of the explosive information in my new book Subversion Inc. Read the article here. Here is the beginning of the piece: Believing Sept. 11 to have been “hijacked by Republicans,” President Obama had a secret plan to “flush 9/11 down the memory hole” in order to benefit Democrats, the author of a brand-new book is claiming. According to “Subversion Inc.” by investigative journalist Matthew Vadum, Obama sought to make the environment the prime concern on 9/11 instead of the worst terrorist attacks in U.S. history. The president allegedly used his green jobs czar Van Jones … Continue reading Obama’s secret plan to help Democrats by flushing 9/11: You won’t believe how president sought to change meaning of catastrophic day

Infiltrating the Obama Administration: A Book Preview for “Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers” (Part 3 in a Series)

Big Government has the final installment in a series of articles previewing my new book Subversion Inc. Read the article here. It begins: It should come as no surprise that on the campaign trail, President Obama refused to be interviewed about Saul Alinsky, the community organizing guru who wrote Rules for Radicals, a how-to guide for destroying American capitalism and democracy. Presumably Obama, who taught courses on Alinsky’s brutal, sometimes violent organizing techniques, declined to speak to reporters about the late guru. He must have realized that such an interview would throw an unwanted spotlight on Alinsky’s radicalism, and by extension, … Continue reading Infiltrating the Obama Administration: A Book Preview for “Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers” (Part 3 in a Series)
