Obama's grassroots group Organizing for Action won't shut down even after he leaves office

**SNIP**

OFA is offspring of Obama's presidential campaign apparatus, reconfigured in January of 2013 as he began his second and final term in the Oval Office.

Previously it went by the nation Organizing for America and its sole goal was to get Obama elected to higher office. After Obama's time as a candidate came to an end it took on the unofficial role as the grassroots arm of his administration. It now has more than 250 chapters around the country.

Billed as a non-partisan organization that doesn't directly support any candidates or political party, it's allegiance to the Democratic Party is evident and it openly advocates for the 'advancement of goals for progressive change at the federal, state, and local level.'

Comprehensive immigration reform, equal pay for equal work, climate change prevention, state and federal minimum wage increases, healthcare reform, gun violence prevention and paid family leave are mainstay issues for the grassroots organizing group just as they are for the Obama-led White House.

Its website continues to reside at barackobama.com, and it manages the president's twitter account, despite describing itself as 'bigger than just one person or one cause. Likewise, the president often sends out messages on its behalf.

Hussein's little monsters.

Stop funding them and they will quickly cease to “organize”.

They’re psychotic. I see they were happily declaring a year of victories for gun control.

They didn’t name the victories but did make it clear that giving money to OFA was the only way to be sure the victories would keep coming.

The offspring of Obama's presidential campaign apparat, redubbed in January of 2013 as Org for Action after Obama's reelection.

OFA took on the unofficial role as the "grassroots arm of his administration" w / more than 250 chapters and total unblinking allegiance to the Democratic Party and the 'advancement of goals for progressive change at the federal, state, and local level.'

Hmmmmm........too bad they bombed out at 2014 midterms. The federal/state/local elections of Republicans humiliated Obama and devastated the Dem party---dialing down the progressive charge to minus zero.

Mmmmm......250 grassrots offices organized for action? The "revenue flow" to OAF might prove to be interesting. Perhaps it's time to mobilize the Bank Secrecy Act.

=================================================

The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized to follow the paper trail and determine how Organizing for Action monies change hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals....... and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine Organizing for Action bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, Organizing for Action might contain fake invoices, created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes and campaign funding.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering, govt fraud, and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, govt fraud, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions by Organizing for Action could also be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy Act, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.

<><> L/E should scrutinize Organizing for Action bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Organizing for Action bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.

FBI TIPS PAGE--YOU MAY REMAIN ANONYMOUS ---https://tips.fbi.gov

SUBJECT: Collusion, conspiracy, bribery

Examine tax returns with a fine-tooth comb.....especially entries for "interest incom

Unfortunately it may be we will hear and see more from obama after he is out then we did while he was in office, he will thrive on being a thorn in the side of whoever the next POTUS is, he will not go away.

He will be the go to man, of the MSM for his perspective and critique on every action of the next president regardless of party, he will make Freddy Kruger look like an amateur for the horror he will continue to bring to the next POTUS and the nation.

Being on their email list is amusing. Sometimes they get a little over the top and I have to post that email here on FR.

They may be having money problems. I noticed a very rapid increase in the emails they sent at the end of 2014, all begging for money. Towards the last three days of the year or so, I'd receive three or four emails a day. Pathetic.

Billed as a non-partisan organization that doesn't directly support any candidates or political party, it's allegiance to the Democratic Party is evident and it openly advocates for the 'advancement of goals for progressive change at the federal, state, and local level.'

OFA is most certainly partisan. The statement in an email signed by nobama, "I need your help to achieve our goals," is NOT non-partisan.

Why the surprise? This is the organization that collects dirt on everyone so they can extort them later. It is a well funded nexus for Liberal thugs, who used to have to operate in regional groups. They are not going to give this up just because obama is forced to leave.

Is it a non profit, a 501C4? Sounds like they may be in violation of that law in most of their activities have to be social welfare, not just getting democrats elected with foreign campaign funds.

obama is not liked by the democrats. He was a means to an end. Once out of office, hopefully we never hear from him again.
