Obama Led Activists Have A 'Training Manual'

Modal Trigger Obama-linked activists have a ‘training manual’ for
protesting Trump

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump's presidency

Gitmo prisoner reveals that Saudi 'terrorist rehab' center is a scam.

An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to
protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers
supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the
congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.

Organizing for Action, a group founded by Obama and featured prominently on
his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to
anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off
support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic
nations, and building a border wall.

In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against
Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their
home districts.”

The protesters disrupted town halls earlier this month, including one held
in Utah by House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who was confronted by
hundreds of angry demonstrators claiming to be his constituents.

The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters
to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the
front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs
to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s
positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also
urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the
mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real
answers.”

“Express your concern [to the event’s hosts] they are giving a platform to
pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism, and corruption,” it says.

The goal is to make Republicans, even from safe districts, second-guess
their support for the Trump agenda, and to prime “the ground for the 2018
midterms when Democrats retake power.”

“Even the safest [Republican] will be deeply alarmed by signs of organized
opposition,” the document states, “because these actions create the
impression that they’re not connected to their district and not listening to
their constituents.”

After the event, protesters are advised to feed video footage to local and
national media.

“Unfavorable exchanges caught on video can be devastating” for Republican
lawmakers, it says, when “shared through social media and picked up by
local and national media.” After protesters gave MSNBC, CNN and the networks
footage of their dust-up with Chaffetz, for example, the outlets ran them
continuously, forcing Chaffetz to issue statements defending himself.

The manual also advises protesters to flood “Trump-friendly” lawmakers’
Hill offices with angry phone calls and emails demanding the resignation of
top White House adviser Steve Bannon.

A script advises callers to complain: “I’m honestly scared that a known
racist and anti-Semite will be working just feet from the Oval Office … It is
everyone’s business if a man who promoted white supremacy is serving as an
adviser to the president.”

The document provides no evidence to support such accusations.

Protesters, who may or may not be affiliated with OFA, are also storming
district offices. Last week, GOP Rep. Dana Rohrabacher blamed a “mob” of
anti-Trump activists for knocking unconscious a 71-year-old female staffer at
his Southern California office. A video of the incident, showing a small
crowd around an opening door, was less conclusive.

Separately, OFA, which is run by ex-Obama officials and staffers, plans to
stage 400 rallies across 42 states this year to attack Trump and
Republicans over ObamaCare’s repeal.

“This is a fight we can win,” OFA recently told its foot soldiers. “They’
re starting to waver.”

On Thursday, Trump insisted he’s moving ahead with plans to repeal and
replace the Affordable Care Act, which has ballooned health-insurance premiums
and deductibles. “Obamacare is a disaster, folks,” he said, adding that
activists protesting its repeal are hijacking GOP town halls and other
events.

“They fill up our rallies with people that you wonder how they get there,”
the president said. “But they’re not the Republican people that our
representatives are representing.”

As The Post reported, OFA boasts more than 250 offices nationwide and more
than 32,000 organizers, with another 25,000 actively under training. Since
November, it’s beefed up staff and fundraising, though as a “social welfare
” non-profit, it does not have to reveal its donors.

These aren’t typical Black Lives Matter or Occupy Wall Street marchers, but
rather professionally trained organizers who go through a six-week
training program similar to the training — steeped in Alinsky agitation tactics —
Obama received in Chicago when he was a community organizer.

Chicago socialist Saul Alinsky, known by the left as “the father of
community organizing,” taught radicals to “rub raw the sores of discontent” and
create the conditions for a “revolution.” He dedicated his book, “Rules for
Radicals,” to “Lucifer.” Michelle Obama quoted from the book when she
helped launch OFA in 2013.

Obama appears to be behind the anti-Trump protests. He praised recent
demonstrations against Trump’s travel ban. And last year, after Trump’s upset
victory, he personally rallied OFA troops to “protect” his legacy in a
conference call. “Now is the time for some organizing,” he said. “So don’t
mope” over the election results.

He promised OFA activists he would soon join them in the fray.

“Understand that I’m going to be constrained in what I do with all of you
until I am again a private citizen, but that’s not so far off,” he said. “
You’re going to see me early next year, and we’re going to be in a
position where we can start cooking up all kinds of great stuff.”

Added the ex-president: “I promise you that next year Michelle and I are
going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting,
and we’re going to be busy. I’ve got all kinds of thoughts and ideas about
it, but this isn’t the best time to share them.

“Point is, I’m still fired up and ready to go, and I hope that all of you
are, as well.”
