Obama’s Dubious Past Goes ‘Mainstream’
http://savagepolitics.com/?p=274 For those of you who do not know the story, Larry Sinclair is a
gay man who claims that ‘when Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois
Senate he met twice with Larry Sinclair in November 1999 in Chicago, obtained
cocaine for the both of them and consumed it (crack cocaine smoked through a
glass pipe in the Senator’s case). On both occasions they also participated
in consensual sexual acts with each other.’ After his allegations became
known through his Youtube video (WATCH
HERE), a website (WhiteHouse.com) offered Larry Sinclair money in
exchange for his taking of a polygraph test on their site. On the site, they
constantly assured the public that they were going to video-record the
proceedings and post it on their website, all in hopes of giving full
disclosure of the results. As many of you may remember, this supposed video
was never posted/published (never has) and, running late on their own
schedule, decided to ONLY post a brief description of the “analysis” of the
results (supposedly provided by two independent researchers which claimed
that he had failed it). Obviously, since the video of the process was never
presented to their readers, it automatically opened speculations and
accusations from Sinclair himself (and many in the public) that these
individuals were probably “paid off” by David Axelrod and the Obama campaign.
To prove this point, Sinclair has posted multiple copies of the checks,
letters and other documentation with which he claims to demonstrate the
contention that he actually passed the test, but was later betrayed by the
site with the publishing of the incorrect analysis of his results.
Nonetheless, Larry Sinclair continued his quest to expose Obama for what he
describes as “his lies and drug addiction”, and continuously attempted to get
his allegations heard. Ever since Sinclair came out with the story, he alleges that his
life has been threatened and that his person has been defamed throughout the
internet by Obama’s supporters. For this exact reason, Sinclair has brought
suit against a couple of these “bloggers” for defamation and threat of
violence, both of which he claims are directly linked to the Barack Obama
campaign. In relation to this suit, and very recently, (African American)
Federal District Judge Henry Kennedy (view BIO
HERE) decided to go forward with said case and has allowed
discovery of it’s allegations to begin in their entirety, setting up one of
the biggest scandals that has ever befallen a Presidential candidate, at
least in recent political history. To further complicate the controversy,
Sinclair has also sent an affidavit to the Chicago Police discussing the
‘Donald Young connection’ and is aggressively urging a further investigation
into his death and connection to the Obama camp. This additional and strange
leg of the story claims that a recently murdered (gay) Choir Master of
TRINITY UNITED CHURCH, by the name of Donald Young, contacted Sinclair
multiple times about this whole issue of Obama’s relationship with Sinclair
(apparently under the instructions of the Obama campaign), even admitting to
having homosexual relations with Obama himself. Here is the copy of
Sinclair’s affidavit to the Chicago Police: CLICK HERE The subsequent death of this gay
man (who belonged to Obama’s church) is quite mysterious and it has not
reached the Mainstream National news. Nonetheless, you can still read the
following story from CBS, in which they simply mention this very violent and
nebulous death in Chicago: CLICK HERE All of this disturbing
information will probably have to come out with greater detail during the
mentioned Sinclair court case, since it is a crucial aspect of Sinclair’s
claim that the Obama campaign has launched a concerted effort to defame and
threaten his life. Now, all of this controversy has reached the important primary
“State” of Puerto Rico, were the show “Super Xclusivo: La Comay”,
the highest rated and most popular show on the island (for the past decade),
dedicated an entire hour to the discussion of this story and to the interview
of Larry Sinclair himself (you can watch a custom recording of yesterday
evening’s airing of “La Comay” by clicking HERE).
The program’s style and it’s “classification” is quite difficult to explain
to the majority of Americans, since this Country doesn’t have an equivalent.
For the sake of definition, let’s just describe it as a “gossip, news,
commentary, investigative-reporting, and comedy-variety show.” As an
example of their influence and importance within local culture (and to
dismiss the speculation that this program may be “inconsequential”), the
program’s impact is so dramatic that every Gubernatorial (and legislative)
candidate in recent Puertorican history has gone ‘live’ on said show to be
interviewed by both hosts. A few years back, a highly controversial but
popular ex Governor (Pedro Rosello) decided to run again for the Governorship
of the Island, but refused to go on said show (Super Xclusivo) saying that he
“didn’t speak to dolls”. Because of this, his popularity went down
precipitously (also helped by getting ‘ripped’ on a daily basis by the show
itself) and he lost the Governorship by a wide margin. The man who actually
dedicated most of his time to being interviewed by the program’s hosts, and
who took the show seriously (Anibal Acevedo Vila) ended up winning the
election (and thus invited both ‘characters’ to the Governor mansion to
celebrate his victory). His candid participation made him appear attuned with
“the common people”, and also gave him wide exposure, since this program is
turned on in almost every Puertorican house at 6:00 PM. Therefore, this exposure to Sinclair’s story is HUGE in Puerto
Rico, since it is not only getting ventilated by the most popular show on the
island, but it is also getting attention by it’s parent company Televicentro
(the highest rated channel on the island), which happens to be the only remaining
Puerto Rico owned Media and News source on the Island. Interestingly
enough, this controversy is not only damaging to Obama because of the
drug-use aspect (smoking marijuana in Puerto Rico could easily label you a
‘junky’ by most), but an even more dramatically damaging aspect of the story
is the whole “homosexual” dynamic of the story. Puerto Rico, after all, is a
highly socially-conservative Nation, and the idea of having a “gay” President
(even a small town mayor) is disturbing enough to ostracize Obama from almost
every serious political discourse (and public support). It is well known
among most Puertoricans (even the most Liberals) that even slight rumors
about the supposed sexual “flimsiness” of a particular candidate is enough to
destroy their political hopes in PR politics (case in point: Bhatia). For Barack Obama, this couldn’t have come at a worse time since
he was expecting to at least survive the Island’s primary election with a few
proportional delegates. But now, with this story, and with his only main
supporter in the Island’s political elite (the highly unpopular Governor of
Puerto Rico) now facing Federal criminal charges, this controversy will
assure a clear loss among the few primary participants that will provide with
55 delegates to the Democratic victor (the amount of voters will be small in
proportion to it’s population since there is no political tradition in PR of
participating in U.S. primaries). The question about all of this remains: Will this have a trickle
down effect into the United States? Unlike American journalists, the
Puertorican press WILL ask Obama about this controversy if he ever decides to
show himself on the Island, whenever it’s primaries become inevitable. Will
the Mainstream Media pick up the fact that the whole Sinclair story is now
MAINSTREAM in Puerto Rico, or will they decide to ignore it? It is clear that
even if reporters in the United States decide to air a criticism of Puerto
Rico’s “negligence” or “audacity” in publishing this story, Sinclair will
automatically become the main theme and will thus inevitably spread
throughout the Country. Day by day, this story approaches critical mass, and we can
slowly start getting ready to prepare for the diverse names that may begin to
be utilized to describe it; GAY GATE, CRACK GATE, SINCLAIR GATE, LIMO GATE,
et al. Irrespective of the veracity or integrity of this story, it is
nonetheless true that these allegations will eventually come to fruition
among the corporate press (maybe closer to November), and it is now only left
to the Mainstream Media and/or the Obama campaign to deflect it as best they
can and see if they can survive it. Apparently, Donald Young and Larry
Sinclair have just become household names in Puerto Rico, it will be only a
matter of time until they become part of the American lingo as well. ©2008 Jonathan Cifre, J.D., of SAVAGEPOLITICS.com. All Rights Reserved.
