Apparently? They are coming from the same foreign sources they were four
years ago and the government agencies responsible for monitoring campaign
contributions from illegal sources, can one again care less where Obama gets
his money from.
So when you see the headlines that Obama is the favorite in other countries
and he has been endorsed by Hugo Chavez, Vladamir Putin and Fidel Castro?
Perhaps you might better sit up and take notice.
Obama accepts 'Osama bin Laden' donations
Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol, or IP address, a disposable credit
card and a fake address, “Osama bin Laden” has successfully donated twice
to Barack Obama’s presidential re-election campaign.
The “Bin Laden” donations, actually made by WND staff, included a
listed occupation of “deceased terror chief” and a stated employer of “al
-Qaida.”
“Bin Laden” is currently set up on the official campaign website to
contribute more to Obama’s campaign. The name is also registered as a
volunteer.
Since the “foreign” contribution was sent, “Bin Laden’s” email
address has received several solicitations from Obama’s campaign asking for
more donations.
Incredible 1-day offer: Get ‘Fool Me Twice’ for only $4.95! The New
York Times bestseller called most important book of election season
The apparently foreign-based contributions were conducted as a test
after a flurry of media reports described the ability of foreigners to
donate to the Obama campaign but not to Mitt Romney’s site, which has
placed safeguards against such efforts.
The acceptance of foreign contributions is strictly illegal under U.S.
campaign finance law.
One $15 donation was made at BarackObama.com using a confirmed Pakistani
IP address. In other words, as far as the campaign website was concerned,
the donation was openly identified electronically as coming from Pakistan.
Upon clicking the “donate” button, WND staff selected the $15 amount
and were taken to a page on the campaign website asking for a first and last
name, city, state, zip code, email address and phone number.
The information submitted was: “Osama bin Laden, 911 Jihad Way,
Abbottabad, CA 91101.”
While the website only has options for U.S. states and zip codes, there
is no mechanism in place on Obama’s website to verify the individual is
actually located in that state or zip code, or even in the U.S.
The Obama campaign refuses to release the identification of donors who
give less than $200
In the case of this donation, the 91101 zip code is real but corresponds
to Pasadena, Calif., and not Abbottabad, the Pakistani city in which bin
Laden was found holed up in a compound.
For a requested phone number, WND inputted the White House information
line of (202) 456-2121.
The email address used to set up the donation account was
o*************[email protected].
After clicking “next,” the website asked for an employer, occupation
and a password to set up future donations. WND staff entered the occupation
as “deceased terror chief” and the employer as “al-Qaida.”
The transaction was made last Friday with the use of a disposable credit
card. The website did not require the card’s security code. |
