(Oct. 2, 2025) — I recently came upon a follow-up piece to Jeremy Kuzmarov PhD’s uniquely excellent and comprehensive essay on Barack Obama and the CIA. The initial essay by Kuzmarov was published on the CovertAction Magazine website on October 1, 2021 and titled “A Company Family: The Untold History of Obama and the CIA.” Not only is this initial article a fantastic investigative work, but it is one which is enhanced by photographs and histories of many family members and associates of Obama and the CIA (noted to include current Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who “had long ties” to...

The tale of two buildings in Chicago says more about American politics than anything. The building above was built by a developer with his own money raised from banks who trusted him after decades of doing business with him. Please note the beauty and light from the 92-story skyscraper. It stands 1,388 feet tall. It cost $847 million when completed 16 years ago. The other building is Obama’s presidential library, which is under construction and stands 225 feet tall. The original estimate was $300 million for construction. The estimate this month is $850 million. It is paid through the Obama...

In the final days of the Obama presidency — while Americans were focused on inaugurating a new president and turning the page on a divisive era — President Barack Obama signed a quiet but sweeping executive order that many now see as a ticking time bomb planted in the heart of our Intelligence Community. On January 3, 2017, just 17 days before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Obama signed a modification to Executive Order 12333, authorizing the National Security Agency (NSA) to share raw signals intelligence (SIGINT) with all 16 other intelligence agencies — including the FBI, the CIA, and even obscure...

The Obama library is a massive money laundering operation designed to funnel tax free funds to the worst terrorist elements here and abroad. Tides has also handled donations for Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which sued the group in California Superior Court last year. It alleged “egregious mismanagement” of more than $33 million in their funds, according to court documents. That lawsuit is ongoing. And what a money laundering operation it is. Obama’s ‘presidential’ library is almost a billion over budget and three years late. It has been in the works for eight years and only half done. Originally,...

At the O2 Arena in London, the president sounded exasperated. His worldview had lostFor people like Fran who wanted answers, Obama gave none. He just seemed depressed. He said that Britain, like America, is at a “fork in the road.” He said that we’re too materialistic, and have lost two historic defenses against consumerism: religion and counterculture. (Hip-hop used to have a purpose, now rappers just talk about money.) He said there was a “significant risk” that AI becomes a tool of oppression and censorship, and said that Donald Trump has committed “violence against the truth.” “Old men hanging on...

When the Obama Foundation snagged a sweetheart deal to build its beleaguered Obama Presidential Center on a Chicago public park, it pledged to create a $470 million reserve fund to spare taxpayers should the project ever go belly up. But new tax filings show the foundation has only deposited $1 million into the fund and has not added to it in years, with critics saying the empty promise could potentially leave Chicagoans on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars. Under its agreement with the city, the foundation was required to create the fund, known as an endowment, in...

Former US president Barack Obama has said there is no military rationale right now for continuing to pummel what is already broken in Gaza, and he said it was unacceptable to ignore the human crisis that is happening there. He said children there were starving and that a starting point in the crisis would be for both sides to acknowledge each other’s history, in a bid to break the cycle of violence. He told a paying audience at the 3Arena in Dublin that where the truth becomes whitewashed, “you lose touch with reality and it puts you in a position...

Could former FBI Director James Comey be the first major figure to face real accountability for his role in the destructive Russia collusion hoax? It’s a question worth asking given Thursday evening’s news that the cocky former intel chief has been indicted by a grand jury on counts of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The charges were brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. What’s particularly noteworthy about the indictment, however, is its relation to the Russia collusion hoax.As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman summarized, “The charges arise from testimony Comey...

Barack Obama revealed he has been 'digging himself out of a hole' with his wife Michelle after his political career dominated their family life at the White House. The former president was being interviewed by historian David Olusoga in London last night when he was asked what he had been doing for the past few years. 'I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself with Michelle,' Mr Obama told an audience at The O2 Arena. 'Now I'm at about level ground.'

Former President Barack Hussein Obama has chimed in on the Tylenol controversy, after President Donald Trump warned pregnant women not to take the drug (acetaminophen), citing research showing a link to autism in children. In a Thursday post to X, Obama defended the drug – writing that ‘broad claims around certain drugs and autism’ have been ‘continuously disproven,’ – and as such, ‘undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant,’ and ‘create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic… We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been...

Donald Trump is now President of the United States for a second term, having survived an unprecedented campaign of lawfare that has included no fewer than four criminal prosecutions, two state and two federal, brought during the four years that he was out of office. All were brought by highly partisan Democratic Party prosecutors. The four prosecutions of Trump are all now essentially dead. However, much of the process of killing off these prosecutions has occurred either since Trump’s re-election, or only because of the fortuity of Trump getting enough appointments to the Supreme Court during his first four years...

Supreme Court justices have faced harassment and intimidation after a pro-abortion group calling itself Ruth Sent Us posted a map to their homes. Justice Alito and his family, who wrote the draft opinion on abortion that had been leaked by leftists, have had to go into hiding at an undisclosed location. Had conservative protests outside the homes of Sotomayor and Kagan led one of them to go into hiding, the FBI would already be on the case and the media would be calling it an insurrection and a threat to democracy, but it’s not political terrorism when leftists do it....

Seen from the sky, the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility in California’s Mojave Desert resembles a futuristic dream. Viewed from the bottom line, however, Ivanpah is anything but. The solar power plant, which features three 459-foot towers and thousands of computer-controlled mirrors known as heliostats, cost some $2.2 billion to build. Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2014. Now, it’s set to close in 2026 after failing to efficiently generate solar energy. In 2011, the US Department of Energy under former President Barack Obama issued $1.6 billion in three federal loan guarantees for the project and the Secretary of...

ABC comedy is again in trouble over taste after a new TV show featured star host John Safran acting out a sex scene to an image of US President Barack Obama. 'John Safran's Race Relations' shows the skit involving the presenter simulating a sex scene to an image of US President Barack Obama. The segment in the first episode of the show depicts Safran masturbating to President Obama inside a Palestinian sperm bank, and also encourages a Palestinian film crew member to do the same inside an Israeli sperm bank.

The Obama library — which isn't a library — has ballooned to a construction cost of more than $615 million, up from the original estimate of $300 million when the edifice was proposed in 2019. As 2024, the estimate had soared to $615 million, with the cost adding up to a whopping $615,674,047. But according to the Chicago Tribune, other estimates have already placed construction costs past the $700 million mark. Along with these massive cost overruns, the Barack Obama Presidential Center has had a very troubled history already, and it hasn’t even been completed yet. Originally, the Obama Center...

Former President Barack Obama is whining about cancel culture after the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s show following the disinformation Kimmel broadcasted after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. “After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama said on X, sharing an article on the suspension of Kimmel’s show. He added, “This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies...

Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.” The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on...

Former President Barack Obama is trying to manage and redirect the huge civic conflicts that he fueled with his “experiment” in nation-changing mass migration. “[I] insist that in that process of debate, we respect other people’s right to say things that we profoundly disagree with,” Obama told a September 16 public meeting at the Jefferson Educational Society, six days after progressives began celebrating Kirk’s shocking murder. “I didn’t know Charlie Kirk … I think [his] ideas were wrong,” he said, adding: “I can disagree with some of [Kirk’s] broader suggestions that liberals and Democrats are promoting conspiracy to displace whites...

Former President Barack Obama implied Tuesday that President Donald Trump was to blame for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, because of “extreme” personnel and policies that aroused violent opposition. Obama was interviewed onstage by Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania. He mourned Kirk’s death, saying it was “horrific,” but made sure to recite an (inaccurate) laundry list of Kirk’s more controversial statements, including a false claim that Kirk claimed black women were stupid. Obama then said that Trump wanted to use Kirk’s assassination as “a rationale for trying to silence discussion around who we are as a country...

Former President Barack Obama believes the nation is at an “inflection point” following Charlie Kirk’s assassination as the Democrat said in his first public comments on the tragedy Tuesday that the conservative commentator’s violent death was a “tragedy” regardless of his views. “And then when it happens to somebody, even if you think they’re quote unquote ‘on the other side of the argument,’ that’s a threat to all of us and we have to be clear and forthright and condemn it,” Obama said as he addressed the shocking murder during a Pennsylvania forum. “Regardless of where you are on the...
