The Chosen One
The Claremont Institute ^ | July 13, 2011 | Angelo M. Codevilla

Posted on 08/12/2011 6:43:01 AM PDT by bkepley

Self-styled investigative journalist Wayne Madsen reports that Madelyn Dunham, the mother of Barack's mother, Ann Dunham, who became vice president of the Bank of Hawaii soon after her arrival there, was in charge of escrow accounts. Madsen's credibility is certainly checkered. But if he is correct about which department she headed, Madelyn Dunham must have supervised the accounts that the U.S. government used to funnel money to its "gray" and "black" activities throughout Asia. Among the conduits of the CIA money through these accounts to secret CIA proprietaries was a company—Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham & Wong—some of whose officers were serving CIA officers. This is a company whose 1983 IRS audit the CIA stopped. Vice President Madelyn Dunham, in charge of these very matters and hence necessarily "witting" (as they say at Langley), would have had to be more than a small cog in the machine. People do not rise to such stations from one day to the next.

WHY "must have"?

Every escrow account was used by the Gov't to fund shady activities?

This is a wonderful find, thanks for sharing it. I am sending it on to friends. There is a lot of “dot connecting” in this piece.
///
ditto. this ties in well with a lot of other things, like the jobs SAD had in Asia, and the job Obama had briefly at what was reported to be a “front” company. (smokingfrog)

certainly all of the theories aren’t true.
but Obama coming from a “poor” family is a myth.
Grandma made a lot of money. And had the connections to do things to help his future, including access to escrow records, etc.

An absolutely fascinating article. Whatever you do, read the entire thing. It does a great job of explaining who Obama is via a very readable narrative about his and the Dunham’s various personal and professional entanglements over the decades. Keen insight into the radical left organizations and people that helped shape his warped agenda.

Given Codevilla’s background, if he said that particular bank was invloved with CIA at that time it probably was.

Thank you so much for finding and posting this brilliant piece. This fits wonderfully with, and adds wonderfully to, the info I’ve followed through Trevor Lauden’s site.

Occasionally running across such gems is one of the main reasons I’ve come to Free Republic through the years. Again, thanks.

I picked up on this idea about a year ago, that Obama’s mother’s background was just illuminated with CIA connections, which is obvious just by looking at her Wiki, then just doing a quick check of where she was educated, and who she worked for, and who sponsored it all.

Yet nobody has asked the truly big questions, which are as much philosophical as it is political. “Should the CIA permit, or even encourage its employees to achieve elective office? And if so, what about its covert employees, and former employees, those not known to the public for their CIA affiliation?”

In all fairness, the US has had a bunch of former military officers as president:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_Presidents_by_military_rank

And George, H.W. Bush was both a Lieutenant, JG, and the head of the CIA, which has only existed since the end of World War II.

This proved to be no obstacle to the election of H.W. Bush, so the question becomes, “What about covert CIA agents, and trained affiliates who were never officially employees of the CIA, but were paid or funded by them for covert purposes?”

Now, I don’t intend to suggest that Obama himself was a low-level operative. In fact, based on the enormous amount of money that must have gone into concealing his background, including the provision of numerous Social Security numbers, and other information, his value to the CIA, at least during the Cold War, must have been potentially enormous.

Obama may have been intended to become a major player in anti-Soviet covert operations. A deep cover agent assigned to the Kremlin, fully versed in communist theory and with an impeccable, as it were, reputation among the American radical left.

(I will also note that while most of the 1960s violent radical left ended up either in prison or dead, Obama’s little collective all seem to have made it through untouched, which is mysterious in its own right.)

However, the Soviet Union is no more. So what to do with a top agent, unused, now “sitting on his thumbs”? He is so specialized that he cannot be repurposed for other duties, and he is too expensive to maintain as an agent.

“Why not run him for elective office?”

Putin, in Russia, was a wholly owned property of the KGB before becoming president, and H.W. Bush had been head of the CIA, with no problem. So why not let agent Obama become POTUS?

All together too easy for the CIA to rationalize this, to the point of not mentioning Obama’s covert training. Does the public have a “need to know” about Obama’s history?

Maybe the CIA decided to make it so blindingly obvious that Obama’s family was CIA property, that people could figure it out themselves, but not with any great clarity or certainty.

My hunch is that when this debacle is finally over, that it will be shown Frank Marshall Davis is Barry’s father, Madeline Payne is Barry’s mother and that Madeline’s death one day before the election wasn’t just merely coincidental.

Madeline Payne was simply a “typical white person”...

Either Stanley or Stanley Ann has to be a parent. He looks too much like a Dunham.

Not his African brothers. He does resemble his mother and his maternal grandfather. I see nothing of his African family in him at all, and I’ve spent a good deal of time studying the pictures. Also, it is seldom that a father who is full blood African produces a son so light. Some of Obama’s “half” brothers are also half white (different mothers), and they are not so light. I would really like to see a DNA comparison btween Obama and Frank Marshall Davis’ son (who also has a white mother).

Where am I missing the 'striking' resemblance between Barry and Stan & Ann Dunham in these pictures?

This is not the only circumstantial evidence. His mother worked for the AID, which was often used as “cover” for CIA employees serving in foreign countries in those days. She also worked for the Ford Foundation, which is rumored to have often collaborated with the CIA.

IMHO..there really is little question Stanley Armour, Madelyn and Stanley Ann in various capacities were American alphabet agency employees.

The real question is the nature of the screw-up-or the compromise internally- that allowed an individual who could barely function competently as a local dog-catcher, to acquire American Federal office in the Senate and Executive branch.

Basically proof of the need to terminate a federal agency or two permanently as it can no longer look out for America’s interests.

“The chins!!!”

I’m pretty sure most people’s chins look similar.

Did you notice that Barry’s smile & eyebrows look nothing like Stan & Ann’s smile & eyebrows?
