The Power of Symbols to Represent Ideology.

Did you see the opening to the movie the Da Vinci Code? The hero gave a
presentation of symbols. The visual reaction to these symbols was immediate in the
responses of the audience. Symbols are visually powerful. Symbols express and
reflect ideas with simplistic graphic form. Symbols are the representation of a
person, place, or thing. There are symbols attributed to nations in flags, banners,
and yes even Presidential campaigns.

President Obama had a symbol for his campaign. That symbol was placed on
bumper stickers for cars, buttons, hats, pins, t-shirts, and many other types of
memorabilia. This was the symbol to represent the Barack Obama supporters.

Imagine my surprise that after the campaign, the election, and the inauguration I
read that the Obama Campaign Logo is a reverse, minus a lightening bolt of the
Weatherman Underground Logo. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t believe it. I had to
find out by my own researchif this statement in the book I was reading was correct.
The book is titled, “Barack Obama: the unauthorized biography-by Webster Tarpley”.

I had listened to Sarah Palin refer to Barack Obama’s connection to Bill Ayer of the
Weatherman Underground. No one paid much attention to her. The media had
already made her out to be a stooge, air headed, and incoherent beauty queen
packing a pistol. How would a bimbo know anything? Of course it was no holds
barred to make Sarah Palin look bad with dirty tricks, but no one should touch the
celebrity Obama and his family. The press slammed down hard that Barack Obama
was only eight years old when Bill Ayers and the Weatherman went on their
unpunished and violent reign of terror andbombings. Of course that is a fact. What
the press did was distort and twistthe details. In fact there had been quite a
relationship with Bill Ayers and Barack Obama. Bill Ayers, a spoiled rich kid that got
away with terror unpunished, is now a Professor of Education. He is a professor that
still does not regret terrorist action of his youth. Bill Ayers the spoiled rich kid and
Bill Ayers Father a fabulously wealthy and powerful Chicagoan met frequently. The
Ayers funded Barack Obama’s career from organizer, to State Legislature, to U.S.
Senator, and campaign contributions for the Presidency.

There is the point that money from the Ayers family, and the Ayers connection may
or may not have anything to do with the man, Barack Obama.

The symbolism of the logos does make me shudder and wonder just what is going
on in the mind of President Obama and why did the press fail to reveal this visual
representations of logos to the American People.

When I shared these logos with a friend of mine, he was as shaken as I was. I quote
him, “This is most interesting. A black swastika or a purple swastika is still a
swastika.” I believe most Americans immediately will recognize the symbols below
regardless of their colors.
What are you thinking when revealed below is the Obama Logo and next to it is the
Weatherman Logo?

Symbolism is powerful. The first logo represents the President of the United States,
Barack Obama. The second logo represents the group known as the Weathermen
Underground, a vicious and violent underground terrorist group in the late 1960’s
and early 1970’s.

Did the media purposely withhold this visual ideology from the American public
during the presidential campaign? Is President Barack Obama smiling at his one
over on the American people? Can we ask why did President Barack Obama use
this symbol for his campaign? Please don’t tell us it was the same ad agency or
graphic artist.
