The hosts examine the background of attorney Hank Sanders, noting his Ford Foundation fellowship and time spent in Africa as "red flags" for intelligence ties. They play a "mad as hell" robocall from Sanders where he invokes "cotton fields and Jim Crow" to motivate voters. They also note the recurring "New South" slogan in his political messaging.
The American establishment, historically composed of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs), funded Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to cultivate the "Talented Tenth." Figures like Rockefeller and Ford aimed to draw out the most capable black individuals and indoctrinate them with WASP values. This strategy ensured that black leadership would align with the interests of the ruling class.
Wayne Madsen, Business International Corporation, and CIA Fronts
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen reports that Barack Obama worked for Business International Corporation, which he identifies as a CIA front. The report further links Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, to the Ford Foundation and his grandmother to the Bank of Hawaii, alleging both institutions served as conduits for funding Indonesian dictator Suharto following a CIA-backed coup.
The meeting of Obama’s parents in a Russian language class in Hawaii is scrutinized for potential Marxist or intelligence undertones, given the East-West exchange programs of the era. The Ford Foundation is again highlighted for its historical ties to the CIA and its modern role in funding Black Lives Matter co-founders like Alicia Garza.
