Newsmax.com, Ex-CIA Expert: Obama Took Millions in Illegal Foreign Donations

A Newsmax investigation of Obama/Biden campaign contributors, undertaken in conjunction with a private investigative firm headed by a former CIA operations officer, has identified 118 donors who appear to lack U.S. citizenship.

Some of these “red flag” donors work for foreign governments; others have made public statements declaring that they are citizens of Cameroun, Nigeria, Pakistan, Canada, and other countries.

A Newsmax sampling of about 3,400 donors also found hundreds more who showed “yellow flags” such as not having used a Social Security number or a known U.S. address. Most U.S.-born citizens are issued Social Security numbers at birth or by the time they enter kindergarten.

Under federal law, only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may donate to federal political campaigns. It is illegal for the campaigns to accept money knowingly from foreign donors.

And when the major media begin to talk about this, they’ll be shocked, simply shocked. Who would have thought it?

It is extraordinarily telling that the only true “maverick” in this political campaign is a self-made, hard-working, straight-talking homemaker who fought her own party to become governor of Alaska. It is equally extraordinary and revealing that the key philosophical argument against Barack Obama’s plan to “spread the wealth around” had to be raised and voiced not by some professor in a college classroom, but by a blue-collar American plumber in an Ohio suburb.

It is the intellectuals who have betrayed the American sense of life and rejected America’s founding principles of individual rights, free markets, and constitutionally limited government. Today’s “progressive” juggernaut is being propelled not by ordinary Americans, but by pampered elites and economic parasites: tenured leftist academics, rich Hollywood celebrities, entrenched regulatory bureaucrats, and tens of millions of recipients of the unearned fruits of “redistributionism,” from corporate welfare to college grants to food stamps.

Are there still enough Joes and Sarahs left in the country to stop the bipartisan lurch to the left that we have witnessed this year?

Will they show up in unprecedented numbers on election day, defying the smug predictions of the “experts”?

We’ll know in less than a week.

You may notice very slow response or non-response this evening and thursday morning. Dreamhost, my server provider, is having some technical problems.

Please check back tomorrow if things aren’t working too well this eve.

UPDATE:  problem seems fixed.

Beldar on media bias.

And more confirmation of the LATime’s complete dishonesty.

And a rare case of a newspaper actually reporting something negative about the Dems, on smearing Joe the Plumber.

And my great sadness at the moral blindness of the state where much of my family comes from.

And more evidence that Bush isn’t Hitler after all, or he would have stopped the ATF from saving Obama.  Bush Derangement Syndrome alert:  look for someone at DailyKos suggesting that it was a Bush PLOT all along.

I’m sure the local community of, uh, ladies of the night is gearing up for a large infusion of income.  If past Democrat Conventions are any guide, at least.

The Israeli who claimed, falsely, to have been attacked by a couple of knife wielding Arabs really should have carved a big M (for Muhammed) into his face, like the recently faked incident in the USA where a women claimed a black man carved a B (for Barack) into her face.  Maybe then someone would have believed him.   There goes the neighborhood.

The young Jewish man who claimed he was attacked by two Arabs Monday night in Jerusalem’s Talpiot neighborhood made the story up, police said Tuesday morning.

The man had claimed the Arabs tried to stab him and that they took flight after he brandished a stick. However, police said no such incident occurred.

Police said it was unclear why the man fabricated the attack.

It comes after two recent stabbing attacks in the capital perpetrated by Arab terrorists.

We’re still waiting, of course, for all the reports in the Palestinian press about Hamas and Fatah faking attacks by Israeli special forces, blowing up buildings and claiming it was air-dropped Israeli bombs, etc.

American Thinker: Signs Pointing To A McCain Victory

Don’t believe the Obama hype coming out of the mainstream media. If the media were truly objective and unbiased, they would be covering the race much differently. Instead of trying to browbeat the country into voting for Obama, they would be analyzing the issues and factors that favor and disfavor both candidates. Instead of focusing on college students and intellectuals, they would be focusing on working-class and middle-class voters, especially “Hillary Democrats.” These voters may very well determine the election. Yet this huge story is being ignored by the MSM.
