The State Department paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers grants to an Israeli group that used the money to build a campaign to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last years Israeli parliamentary elections, a congressional investigation concluded Tuesday.
Some $350,000 was sent to OneVoice, ostensibly to support the groups efforts to back Israeli-Palestinian peace settlement negotiations. But OneVoice used the money to build a voter database, train activists and hire a political consulting firm with ties to President Obamas campaign all of which set the stage for an anti-Netanyahu campaign, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations said in a bipartisan staff report.
In one stunning finding, the subcommittee said OneVoice even told the State Departments top diplomat in Jerusalem of its plans in an email, but the official, Consul General Michael Ratney, claims never to have seen them.

Inquiring minds want to know:
1) Why did it take the Washington Times “journalists” so long to discover and publish these 2015 donations and attempts to sway foreign elections that I read about last year?
2) Was this another element of Obama’s “Hope and Change”?
3) Was this another element of last year’s “Arab Spring”?
4) Re “Arab Spring” - Obama friend Will Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn reportedly traveled to Mid-East to “community organize” locals (moderate extremists?) prior to the “Arab Spring” government overthrows in Egypt and Libya. So, is the “Arab Spring” a Hillary Secretary of State plan or is it one of Obama’s “fundamental transformation” actions?
Yes it is, I did have Adblock Plus and now uBlock. They both work well.

The Rolling Stones spin on an old song
“Sympathy for Obama”....
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the terrorists saints
As heads is tails
Just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint
And why did it take Congress so long to investigate? Oh, it was Congress - never mind...
Any answers to questions #2 - 4 for inquiring minds?
Just funnin ya. :-)
If my memory serves me correctly, there was a Clinton Toady over there “advising” the opposition to Bibi.
Again, Clinton pals funnel Taxpayer confiscated money to their buddies who terrorize governments.
There’s going to be quite a fight over which country gets to execute Soetoro once he is incapacitated.
Ya think?
Jan. 26, 2015 Breitbart story
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/26/obama-campaign-team-arrives-in-israel-to-defeat-netanyahu-in-march-elections/ :
Just days after the Obama White House accused House Speaker John Boehner of breaking protocol by inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress, a team of up to five Obama campaign operatives has reportedly arrived in Israel to lead a campaign to defeat the Israeli Prime Minister in upcoming national elections scheduled for March 17.
The anti-Netanyahu, left wing Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports a group called One Voice, reportedly funded by American donors, is paying for the Obama campaign team. That group is reportedly being led by Obamas 2012 field director Jeremy Bird...
Which is why I’ll be sitting out the congressional portion of the November election.
J. Bird, national field director of Oabama’s 2012 re-election is leading the effort (Times of Israel Mar. 14, 2015)
http://www.timesofisrael.com/senate-said-probing-washingtons-ties-to-anti-netanyahu-group/
“...a source speaking with Fox News claimed it was investigating the State Departments funding of the OneVoice Movement which has, to date, received $350,000 in departmental grants....reports in Haaretz that Jeremy Bird, the national field director for US President Barack Obamas reelection campaign, is leading the get-out-the-vote effort, which is partnered with the OneVoice movement.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, in statements on January 28 and January 29, said that OneVoice had received $233,500 in 2014, disbursed before the Israeli elections were called and before it partnered with V15...The V15 group is known to be partially financed by American billionaire S. Daniel Abraham, a philanthropist who has donated millions of dollars to various institutions in the Jewish state.
Netanyahu on Friday told the Times of Israel in an interview that there was an effort by left-leaning international players to try to bring down the Likud and me.
They are conducting a campaign with tens of millions of dollars under the banner, Anyone but Bibi, Netanyahu said.
They realize that (the Israeli left) will capitulate to all the dictates the international left wants to impose on Israel, he claimed.”
Why did the Mossad not reveal who Obama was before the first election?
>Perfectly legal with omnibus budgeting. I mean why even have a congress?
We have a Congress? All I’ve seen is a rubber stamp.
They did the same thing in Canada. Many Canadians were furious at our government.
I suspect it is them that got US arms into ISIS hands that downed that Russian attack helicopter.
