Obama campaign may have received $63,000,000 in illegal foreign donations

Posted 19 Nov 2008 in 2008 election, Barack Obama, corruption

For a while now, we’ve known that the Obama campaign deliberately disregarding address and security-code verification that would have ensured that online credit card donations were being made in compliance with election laws.

Now, a new report shows just how much “change” Obama managed to rake in through his campaign’s fraudulent efforts.

When Newsmax pored over the campaign finance records, more than 65,000 Obama donations appeared to be conversions of foreign currency. According to our analysis of the Obama campaign data, foreign currency donations could range anywhere from $12.8 million to a stunning $63 million. [emphasis added - ed.]

And the thing is, it’s just so obvious. For example:

Someone named Good Will from Austin, Texas, had donated to the Obama campaign hundreds of times. Most of the donations were for just $25. But in total, they amounted to more than $17,000, far exceeding the $4,600 limit for individual contributors. Moreover, Mr. Good Will listed his employer as “Loving” and his profession as “You.” Clearly, Good Will wasn’t real.

It gets worse. MUCH worse.

The fake donors could have been caught. Even rudimentary online merchant security procedures would have stopped donors from using a name or address that didn’t match the credit-card account. The Obama campaign had turned off most of those safety features on its Web site, industry analysts and a confidential informant told Newsmax.

That facilitated scenarios like the one on Oct. 14, when an individual using the name “O.J. Simpson” participated in an Obama small-donor fundraising drive, and made a $5 donation through the Web site. Giving a Los Angeles address, he listed his employer as the “State of Nevada” and his occupation as “convict.” The donor used a disposable “gift” card to make the donation. The Obama campaign sent O.J. a thank-you note confirming his contribution.

Four minutes earlier, an individual using the name “Raela Odinga” also made a $5 contribution, using the same gift card. The real Raela Odinga became prime minister of Kenya in April and has claimed to be a cousin of Obama’s through a maternal uncle. Obama donor “Raela Odinga” listed his address as “2007 Stolen Election Passage” in “Nairobi, KY.” This donation raised no alarm bells in Obama’s campaign.

A few minutes earlier, “Daffy Duck” gave $5 to the Obama matching campaign, listing his address as “124 Wacky Way, Beverly Hills, Calif.”

But just as with Odinga’s address, the “Wacky Way” address failed to raise any alarm bells or security traps on the Obama campaign Web site. Daffy Duck also used the same card as “O.J. Simpson” and “Raela Odinga.” Within the hour, three other new donors gave $5 to the Obama campaign:

  • Bart Simpson of 333 Heavens Gate, Beverly Hills, Calif.
  • Family Guy of 128 KilltheJews Alley, Gaza, Ga.
  • King Kong of 549 Quinn Street, Capitol Heights, Md.

These Democrat assclowns weren’t even trying to be sneaky about their blatant fraud. I think this case sets new a new standard for the Cassandra phenomenon.

Newsmax asked whether Chase Paymentech had any security feature that would allow it to identify individuals making contributions using gift cards, but Wester declined to comment.

But other industry analysts, who asked not to be identified, told Newsmax that processors could track gift cards and debit cards “only by the numbers on the cards.”

“There are no names associated with these cards, so as a processor, you have no way of knowing who made the transaction,” one industry analyst said.

Anyone can go into a supermarket or a drugstore and buy a batch of these cards with cash, so there is no trace of the transaction, he added.

“It’s like walk-around money. They could be handing these things out as perks” to newly registered voters or others, “and there’s no way of tracing who is using them.”

Boehm tells Newsmax that contributions such as these clearly are illegal. “Making a contribution in the name of another person is the only part of federal election law that actually carries a criminal penalty,” says Boehm.

But why aren’t we hearing these facts in the mainstream media? Will the FEC investigate these fundraising irregularities? Probably not.

Mary Brandenberger, an FEC spokeswoman, declined to comment on the likelihood of an Obama audit…Even if Obama’s campaign reached the audit recommendation trigger point, it’d be tough to muster the majority commission vote necessary to initiate the audit. That’s because the FEC is comprised of three Democratic commissioners and three Republicans and, as such, is prone to deadlock on partisan issues.

Obama, like his criminal friend William Ayers, will remain “Guilty as sin, free as a bird.”
