In July, Obama boasted that, as of May 31, his contributor base numbered some 1.5 million people, with one-fourth, or $66.25 million of his $265 million, coming from those contributing $2,000, or more... some 33,200 people. Thus, the remainder, or $198.75 million, came from some 1.47 million people, each contributing $5, $10, $20... or, as Obama assured us, "whatever they could afford."
While it is true that Obama is the kind of guy who could read Bill Clinton's golf scorecard and make it sound convincing, simple arithmetic should have told him that $198.75 million dollars cannot be contributed by 1.47 million people in "$5, $10, or $20" amounts. Each of those 1.47 million people would have had to contribute, on average, $135 to create a pool of $198.75 million... and that simply does not happen. It has never happened before in American politics and it is not happening now.
But now, just days before the election, the Obama campaign has compounded their sins. They are now reporting that their contributor base has increased from 1.5 million to 2.5 million and that the total amount raised now approaches $600 million. If we can assume that 25% of their contributions still come from individuals giving $2,000 to $2,300, that base has now grown from 33,200 individuals to 65,000 in a time span of just three months, and the number of individuals contributing modest amounts... "$5, $10, $20, or whatever they could afford"... is now up from 1.47 million to 2.43 million, each contributing, on average, $185.
Anyone who believes that is actually happening will believe almost anything. So how are they doing it?
In our July 25 column we pointed out that UBS Americas, headed by Robert Wolf... along with George Soros, one of Obama's top two money men... had been accused of highly unethical and illegal banking practices in six months of hearings by the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. According to an article in The Nation, UBS Americas, a subsidiary of UBS, of Zürich, Switzerland, has advised wealthy Americans, including many of our worst villains, how to shelter funds from the IRS, as well as from prosecutors, creditors, disgruntled business associates, family members, and each other.
In a Statement of Facts in the recent criminal trial of former UBS executive Bradley Birkenfeld, it was alleged that UBS took extraordinary steps to help American clients manage their Swiss accounts without alerting federal authorities. For example, UBS advised American clients to avoid detection by using Swiss credit cards to withdraw funds, to destroy all existing off-shore banking records, and to misrepresent the receipt of funds from their Swiss accounts as loans from the Swiss bank. According to The Nation, UBS established an elaborate training program which taught bank employees how to avoid surveillance by U.S. Customs and law enforcement, falsify visas, encrypt communications, and secretly move money in and out of the country... "
It is the perfect instrument for funneling illegal campaign contributions into the coffers of an unscrupulous American politician. Putting two and two together, I suggested that a very wealthy individual, or cartel, wishing to influence the election of the President of the United States, could transfer unlimited sums of money through this device. A U.S. recipient, such as the Obama campaign, could receive hundreds of thousands of individual contributions via Swiss credit card transfers, with fictitious payees being entered by teams of paid staffers working in a "boiler room" setting. The owners of the Swiss accounts would receive periodic statements indicating: a) debits of varying amounts, up to $2,300 each, and b) offsetting credits provided by the cartel, or by the wealthy, but unnamed, "international financier." For most of the super wealthy, especially those attempting to hide income and assets from U.S. authorities, an unexplained debit and credit of $2,300, or less, would not even raise an eyebrow. So who would ever know the source of such contributions? No one.
Now, in an October 20 article in Newsmax, writer Kenneth Timmerman provides details from Federal Election Commission records that give substantial weight to my theory. In studying Obama's FEC filings, Newsmax found more than 2,000 donors who had given substantially more than their $4,600 limit ($2,300 in the primaries and $2,300 in the General Election). The law requires that such excess contributions must be returned to the donor within 60 days of the donor going over his/her limit. However, many of the donors contacted by Newsmax said that they had not been contacted by the Obama campaign and that they had not received refunds. Read more at the thread.

George Sorosa and the Rockefellers?
I’ve been wondering ... who’s pulling the strings?
Obama is a puppet.
Who is the puppeteer?
he’s not a bright guy.
He can’t get his lies straight.
Who is really pulling his strings?
Does this also mean that when the money grabbing starts under a Marixist Obama presidency (God please don’t let that happen), we could hide our assets at UBS?
The elite Bilderberg Group, which is convening this year at the Westfields Marriott hotel in Chantilly, Virginia, has officially ended the Democratic presidential contest between Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama.
The two presidential hopefuls were summoned to the Bilderberg Group annual meeting, where they were both informed that Obama would play the part of the Democratic candidate this election year. Clinton is reported to have begged Lord Rothschild and David Rockefeller both senior level Bilderbergers for forgiveness following her poor campaign performance this past year.
Mrs. Clinton was very upset, said a male prostitute who services some of the male Bilderberg members. She said David Rockefeller was behind the push to oust her from the race. She had apparently been promised a comeback effort by Lord Rothschild like the kind that was granted to her husband Bill Clinton in the early 1990s, when it looked like he was going to be out of the presidential race.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Obama campaign funding turned out to be a gigantic money-laundering machine in this way. Sort of like robbing a bank and gambling it all at the craps and blackjack tables of Vegas. You are bound eventually to strike it rich,while you give part of it “back”, not to the bank ,but to the casino, which is allowing the laundering, and glad to take the cash, wherever it came from. Which is just what Obama is counting on, and he’s already gotten the largesse, in the form of $$$ for advertising demagoguery from his grateful
“supporters”. As the British historian David Pryce-Jones put it, “Corruption Rules the World”.
So the male prostitute in the story was Bill Clinton?
Bought and paid for to destroy America from within. Civil War II and the American Revolution II coming to a city near you.
“Can any one cut through Obamas lies?”

My 2 cents worth is that Obama is nothing more than the surrogate of Ayers/Dohrn, funded by liberal tools here in the U.S. and of course, George (Adolf) Soros.
Soros, financially. Ayers, philosophically. Satan, spiritually.
