ADMIN
🔥Breaking, I have recently discovered that Obama has long been associated with a dark, Alinsky Organizing group in Minnesota called Wellstone Action and renamed to Re:Power. And even have had fairly recent interactions also. Wellstone also has deep connections to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Now we will know why so much bad comes from Minnesota.

Wellstone even operates a training camp named in honor of Paul Wellstone who once declared, “I am an old Alinsky organizer.”

You all may be familiar with one of their earliest Camp Wellstone trainees, Tim Walz. And his Wellstone trainer was Peggy Flanagan, the now Lt governor of MN. The DSA’s influence on Wellstone was profound, and it continues to echo in Walz’s career.

So what are some names of their past staffers?

- Francis fox Pivan (eek)
- Peggy Flanagan, MN lieutenant Gov
- Keith Ellison MN, Attorney General
- Al Franken
- Donna Brazille

Obama and Francis Fox Pivan used to work together at Demos which Obama helped start. He was also on the board of directors at Demos too.

Obama also worked as a director with Francis Fox Pivan at Project Vote too. Both Demos and Project Vote were partnered with Acorn.

“Paul Wellstone, elected U.S. Senator in 1990 and reelected in 1996 as a DSA-backed project, represented this tradition. A former New American Movement member (merged into DSA), Wellstone advised Young Democratic Socialists and functioned as a populist Marxist – “the Bernie Sanders before Bernie Sanders.” His 2002 plane crash death made him a Minnesota icon.”

“Wellstone Action (later rebranded) trained over 100,000 activists. Today’s Minnesota leadership stems directly from this: Senator Amy Klobuchar (Wellstone protégé), Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and others are Wellstone alumni. Keith Ellison’s background includes Nation of Islam ties (a left-wing group with communist links), fundraisers at the Minnesota Communist Party leader’s home, and connections to DSA and FRSO.”

FRSO, is headquartered in both Obama’s Chicago and the Twin Cities (MN). And is responsible for the George Floyd riots that started in MN.

Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), is a pro-Chinese Maoist group. It helped found Black Lives Matter elements and maintains Chinese consulate ties.

Now let’s get into Obama’s history with Wellstone. But before I do, I wanted to note that I learned during this quest, Obama’s OFA never left it just merged with the Obama Foundation.

Let’s start at the beginning. Obama and Minnesotas Wellstone go way back.

🔹Former Wellstone action did Obama’s campaign in MN 2008 and 2012

“Jeff Blodgett will once again helm President Barack Obama‘s campaign in Minnesota. The former executive director of Wellstone Action started with the campaign on Monday.”

🔹2017 there was talk of Obama working with Wellstone for the Trump resistance.

“Organizing for Action (OFA) , the successor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign that has been rebuilding itself as a Trump-era resistance machine, is launching a new effort to train more activists by connecting progressive groups with newly-trained organizers.

After training 1,000 fellows since the start of the year, OFA will work with Wellstone Action”

🔹But like I said, OFA merged into the Obama Fndn. But OFA also partnered with Wellstone while he was still president.

July 2016 as per the DSA:

“Barack Obama’s successful Obama for America became Organizing for America and recently Organizing for Action (and will become part of the Obama Foundation that raises money for his presidential library). They joined such previously formed groups as Wellstone Action (created to carry on the legacy of the late Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone) and MoveOn,”

🔹Coincidentally a Wellstone trainer was on Joe Biden’s campaign.

🔹Re:Power (Wellstone) partners 2018

- Obama Fndn
- Revolution Messaging, Judge Merchans daughter
- Working Families Party (communist)
- Tons moreImage

🔥🔥🔥Damning evidence: Before I get to the articles, I’m just going to straight up link to the 2018 partners of Wellstone Action now called Re:Power.

Re:Power is partners with what seems like nearly the entire Trump Resistance.

This also links to everything imaginable for the 2020 election and more recent too.

Obama didn’t cover his tracks well enough. Ha! He’s worked with Wellstone Action since at least 2007 and continued for over a decade. I can’t see it changing now.

Partner list is msssive!

- Obama Foundation
- Indivisible
- MoveOn
- Working Families Party
-350.org- Brennan Center
- ACLU
- United We Dream
- Act Blue
- Revolution Messaging, Judge Merchans daughter
- Authentic Campaigns, Judge Merchans daughter
- Blue State Digital, Obama’s campaigners
- Black Lives Matter
- BerlinRosen
- Civic Hall
- Color of Change
- Common Cause
- Fieldworks
- Georgetown University
- Lawyers Committee (never told you but Obama’s connected to this. )
- Proteus Fund
- Sierra Club
- Ultra Violet
- Plus so much more including MN orgs outta the wazoo. Including other states too.

Also I’d like to thank @CCDHWatch for making my graphic in my top post. Grok failed me for hours working on it.

♦️Full Bio

“Peggy Flanagan serves as Deputy National Field Director at Wellstone Action Fund and coordinates the organization's new Native American Leadership Program.

A member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota, Peggy was elected to the Minneapolis School Board in 2004 and is the first Native American to serve on that body. She has worked as Director of Community Outreach for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party (2004-2006), as coordinator of Urban Immersion Service Retreats for the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches (2003-2004), and as Project Manager of Parents Plus (2002-2003), a school readiness program at the Division of Indian Work in Minneapolis.

Tim Walz was one of Wellstone Actions first trainees. Is it any wonder that Obama er Kamala chose him to run for Vice President?

If it’s a Wellstone aka Re:Power they shouldn’t be elected.

“The organization’s flagship program is Camp Wellstone, which holds three-day boot camps to train progressive candidates, campaign workers and organizers how to win office and make change.”

“Rep. Tim Walz, currently running for governor in Minnesota, was a schoolteacher with a National Guard background when he became one of its first trainees. A long list of alumni includes members of Congress from Illinois and Iowa, state legislators from New Mexico to New Hampshire and city council members in Minneapolis and Baltimore.”

At Project vote, Obama worked with Francis Fox Piven and Karine Jean-Pierre. This thread links our 2020 election to the communist left.

Francis Fox Piven’s fame is from the Cloward Piven strategy. Which utilizes welfare and immigration to overwhelm a country. Ushering in a new communist government.

“In general, the Cloward-Piven strategy is described as a back-door plan to change a country into a welfare state. I also read a friend’s definition that describes it as a multi-step plan to destabilize a country’s institutions through mass immigration and welfare policies. Another way this strategy has been defined is to organize anti-poverty groups to create a political crisis, thereby causing a redistribution of wealth through the federal government and a new type of leadership.”

“The government steps in to “help” solve the crisis, but by failing to do so, it opens the door to new leadership that promises to rescue the population.”
I’ve never told you this one. As I have reported before, Obama helped create Demos and sat on its board of directors.

Honorary Chairs of Demos

- Francis Fox Piven
- Robert Reich
- Richard Rockefeller

Every statement will be sourced. Peggy Flanagan, the LT Gov MN, trained Tim Walz at Wellstone Action.

♦️The Extremist Roots of Tim Walz: A Closer Look at His Radicalization

“Wellstone even operates a training camp named in honor of a man who once declared, “I am an old Alinsky organizer. (Paul Wellstone)

“The DSA’s influence on Wellstone was profound, and it continues to echo in Walz’s career.”

“Walz’s connections to Camp Wellstone are not just historical footnotes; they are the bedrock of his political identity. The camp has produced a cadre of progressive leaders, including Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter. It is a veritable incubator for radical thought, with its advisory committee featuring prominent socialist leaders and activists.

“You could tell he was a leader.” – David Wellstone

The training Walz received at Camp Wellstone was instrumental in shaping his political skills. As Marcia Avner, a longtime progressive activist, noted, “What you see is what we saw back then, but it has been strengthened with extraordinary experience.” This experience has allowed Walz to navigate the treacherous waters of modern politics, often with the guidance of his former trainer, Peggy Flanagan.

“He was my camper; I taught him everything he knows!” – Peggy Flanagan

Flanagan’s influence on Walz cannot be overstated. She has been a key player in shaping his progressive agenda, often being described as his “progressive whisperer.” Walz himself has acknowledged her role, stating, “[For] every major decision she is there from the beginning.” Together, they have pushed through some of Minnesota’s most radical legislation, all while invoking the legacy of Wellstone.
“We all do better when we all do better.” – Peggy Flanagan
The radical legacy of Wellstone looms large over Walz’s political career. His deep ties to the DSA and other far-left organizations raise serious questions about the direction of the Democratic Party. As the DSA proudly proclaimed, “The DSA and its allies on the left are a force that cannot be ignored.”

Obama, er I mean Joe Biden used a Wellstone trainer for their 2020 election campaign.

Biden Campaign:

“National Training Director  Gabriella Cascone
(May 2019)  Trainer for the National Democratic Training Committee from Jan. 2018.  Coach for Wellstone Action from July 2017.”

Ok, I long ago have proven that the Obama Foundation was partners with Re:power in 2018. This is the new name of Wellstone Action.

Here’s the evidence that Wellstone Action worked Obama for elections. There will be a second post on this proving it was both of his campaigns.

You know, DHS did wrong starting off with deportations in MN. It’s their fiercest opposition due to it being Obama’s coup central.

“Nobody gets what it means to win the Wellstone way like Jeff Blodgett does. And at Camp Wellstone last Saturday, Jeff led a special session for campers and community members titled, “Winning the Wellstone Way: from Wellstone ’02 to Obama ’12.”

“As Jeff noted, President Obama’s campaigns had resources that were unmatched in history, but the fundamentals of his grassroots campaign should be implemented by progressives for years to come.  Over 150 people joined us as Jeff explained how the campaign’s focus on building a bottom-up structure that focused on neighborhood teams and emphasized digital organizing as an important tool for the field organization (as opposed to the communications department) were two critical lessons that all campaigns should take to heart.”

"This is the idea of taking community organizing and applying it to a political campaign, to win your election. It’s what Paul Wellstone did; it’s how he ran his races. The Obama campaign took that idea to a whole new level and there’s a lot to learn." - Jeff Blodgett

“Even after a long and exciting day at Camp Wellstone, campers came to droves to take a peek behind the curtain at Wellstone’s, and now Obama’s, keys to success. Whether it’s building a successful presidential campaign to win, or an organization to help sustain the progressive movement, Jeff  knows that supporting a volunteer base with new skills and expertise is critical, “We infused training into the volunteer experience all the time, we took this incredibly seriously.” Leadership development and training was a core to success for President Obama’s campaign and it’s at the heart of what we do at Wellstone Action.

As Jeff said, “With the Camp Wellstone Twin Cities, we added 118 new graduates to our community of 55,000 people touched by Wellstone Action trainings.” We’re proud to be part of a movement that, like President Obama and Senator Wellstone before him, is dedicated to a people-powered type of politics that understands a basic tenant, “we all do better when we all do better.”

Whether you want to be a part of a national campaign for president, or join a race for your local school board, having a framework and training for success is critical. If you’re ready to be a part of it, come to a Camp Wellstone near you. “

Here’s the next post, and I’ll stay up all night if I have to to complete this. Alinski driven Wellstone Action worked BOTH of Obama’s elections.

I’m out for blood kiddos.

♦️Minnesota lawyer 2012

“Jeff Blodgett RETURNS to helm Obama’s presidential campaign in Minnesota

“Jeff Blodgett will once again helm President Barack Obama‘s campaign in Minnesota. The former executive director of Wellstone Action started with the campaign on Monday.
“The reason is pretty simple: I believe in this president and I want to see him have four more years to move the country forward,” Blodgett tells PIM.

“This is going to be a tough election. We have to fight hard for the president and can’t take anything for granted at all.”
Four years ago Obama carried Minnesota by 10 percentage points. No Republican has won the presidential vote in the state since 1972. A January poll by Public Policy Polling found that Obama would beat any of the GOP presidential contenders by at least 10 percentage points.

Blodgett most recently served as executive director of the DFL-aligned independent-expenditure group WIN Minnesota. He was replaced by Adam Duininck, who previously worked as political director of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 49. Blodgett initially cut his political teeth working on the Senate campaigns of Paul Wellstone.

“We have a choice,” Blodgett said, “and it’s about whether we keep moving forward and build an economy that works for everyone or go back to the unfair rules of a decade ago that led us into the problems that we had.””

Gosh damn I’m on a roll.

This article is from the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in June 2016 and while Obama was still president. The dudes OFA partnered with Wellstone Action while still president. And they mentioned that Obama intended to move OFA to his foundation. And also partnered with the radical leftist MoveOn which became a key player in the Trump resistance.

Can anyone say coup? Boohyeah 🤘🏻🙌🏻

♦️Fire Starters for Socialism
July 11, 2016 DSA

“Barack Obama’s successful Obama for America became Organizing for America and recently Organizing for Action (and will become part of the Obama Foundation that raises money for his presidential library). They joined such previously formed groups as Wellstone Action (created to carry on the legacy of the late Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone) and MoveOn (formed asMoveOn.orgat the time of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton).”

From Obama’s Chicago to Obama’s Wellstone Twin Cites, Saint Paul MN. The Freedom Road Socialist Org (FRSO) began a pressure campaign to make Americans fearful of a Trump presidency. Nearly five months of telling you that if you vote Trump, your country will burn.

Don’t think I’m done here yet. 💥
Freedom Road Socialists org, the thing George Floyd riots were made of, was in both Obama’s Chicago and Obama’s Minnesota (Twin cities).

Noticed bricks on the side of the road for the 2020 riots? Look no further.

And all China connected.

“Loudon argued that Minnesota has been under communist influence since the 1920s–1930s, with FRSO—a Maoist, pro-China group with ties to Venezuela and Cuba, as the most violent and active force today. He claimed FRSO, headquartered in Chicago and the Twin Cities, deliberately sought police brutality cases to spark unrest, failing in Atlanta and Louisville before succeeding with George Floyd in 2020 due to its local presence and pre-planning (including bricks and training). He stated, “They were all ready to go... All these pro-Chinese communists.””

Although I tried to keep things in sections, it’s time to clean my sources up. Obama went back home to his Wellstone Action to fortify his Trump resistance.

♦️2017 - Obama campaign successor teams up with progressives to train full-time activists

“ATLANTA — Organizing for Action, the successor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign that has been rebuilding itself as a Trump-era resistance machine, is launching a new effort to train more activists by connecting progressive groups with newly-trained organizers.

After training 1,000 fellows since the start of the year, OFA will work with Wellstone Action, the woman-focused Emerge America, Run for Something, the African American-focused Collective PAC and the millennial-focused New Leaders Council to place fellows with the relevant causes.”

I’m not done here either. 🙌🏻

archive.is/Q0Tg6Image
I can feel it in my damn bones. Civic Hall and Color Of Change, both Re:Power, are directly linked to the Narrative Initiative. The Narrative Initiative ran a narrative change lab in the state of Minnesota. Less than a year later the George Floyd riots started in Minnesota.

I’ll find the link to the Integrity Initiative which started in the United states in Minnesota. I promise you.
Obama and Keith Ellisons Islamism.

Oh and I never brushed upon New America yet. Been holding this ace.

♦️From Red Finns to anti-ICE riots: How Minnesota became the heart of American Communism

By Trevor London

Paul Wellstone’s Enduring Marxist Network

“Paul Wellstone, elected U.S. Senator in 1990 and reelected in 1996 as a DSA-backed project, represented this tradition. A former New American Movement member (merged into DSA), Wellstone advised Young Democratic Socialists and functioned as a populist Marxist – “the Bernie Sanders before Bernie Sanders.” His 2002 plane crash death made him a Minnesota icon.

Wellstone Action (later rebranded) trained over 100,000 activists. Today’s Minnesota leadership stems directly from this: Senator Amy Klobuchar (Wellstone protégé), Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and others are Wellstone alumni. Keith Ellison’s background includes Nation of Islam ties (a left-wing group with communist links), fundraisers at the Minnesota Communist Party leader’s home, and connections to DSA and FRSO.

Freedom Road Socialist Organization Drives the Unrest
FRSO, a pro-Chinese Maoist group, leads major disruptions. It helped found Black Lives Matter elements and maintains Chinese consulate ties. In 2019, FRSO revived the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression to spotlight police incidents and provoke riots.”

In 2020, inside this thread, I brought up Wellstone for the first time. I always knew.

I’ve also since connected Obama directly to the Trump resistance org, Indivisible, more than he would be comfortable with. Feel free to search my timeline.

The other major far left Trump resistance org, MoveOn, Obama partnered with 1 month before Russiagate even started.

When Bernie’s Our Revolution closed, most staff moved to Obama’s OFA. And so much more! Enjoy!
Oh yeah Wellstone Action aka Re:Power funding. We all know where this is gonna lead. 🤭

- Open Society
- Ford Fndn
