Obama’s Purge: Why Has Frank Marshall Davis Been Quietly Removed From Dreams From My Father?

 

 

In 1995, an aspiring politician named Barack Obama published an autobiography called Dreams from My Father. There, Obama acknowledged the people who influenced him throughout his life. Among the most prominent influences was a figure that Obama gingerly acknowledged only as “Frank.” Remarkably, however, not once in the entire book did Obama divulge Frank’s full name. Even more mysterious, in 2005, a presidential aspirant named Barack Obama released the audio version of Dreams from My Father where, this time, “Frank” was purged altogether, as Jack Cashill called attention to in column on my book last July.

How did this happen? And who is “Frank?”

 

The answer helps explains Obama’s concealment.

 

As readers of The Blaze know, Frank Marshall Davis (1905-87) was a mentor to a young Barack Obama throughout the 1970s, the period of Obama’s adolescence. Davis was also a literal card-carrying member of the Communist Party—Party number 47544. My book on Davis, The Communist: Frank Marshall Davis, The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor, was published this summer by Mercury Ink.

 

Davis edited and wrote for Party-line publications such as the Honolulu Record and the Chicago Star, which included contributors who served as actual agents to Stalin’s Soviet Union. Davis did outrageous Soviet propaganda work in his columns, at every juncture agitating and opposing U.S. attempts to slow Joseph Stalin. He argued that U.S. officials under President Harry Truman—who he portrayed as a racist, fascist, imperialist, and colonialist—and under secretaries of state George Marshall and Dean Acheson were handing West Germany back to the Nazis, while Stalin was pursuing “democracy” in East Germany and the Communist Bloc. He referred to the Marshall Plan as a form of “white imperialism” and “colonial slavery.” He portrayed America’s leaders as “aching for an excuse to launch a nuclear nightmare of mass murder and extermination” against the Soviets and communist Chinese. Davis also harbored a special contempt for Winston Churchill.

 

 Davis’s political antics were so radical that the FBI placed him on the federal government’s Security Index, which meant he could be immediately detained in the event of a national emergency, such as a war breaking out between the United States and USSR.  [....]

 

Here’s one example of the selective exclusion of “Frank” in the audio version:

Original text version (1995): “It was the same dilemma that old Frank had posed to me the year I left Hawaii.”

Audio version (2005): “It was the same dilemma posed to me the year I left Hawaii.”
