| December 7-8, 2010 -- SPECIAL REPORT. Link
between Obama's CIA front employer and mother's
Asian work revealed
WMR has uncovered CIA-archival documents that point to a link between Barack Obama's post-Columbia University CIA front employer, Business International Corporation (BIC), and his mother's two employers, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Asian Development Bank. WMR has also discovered CIA files that point to the use of field anthropologists abroad, working under foundation cover, by the CIA. Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham/Obama/Soetoro/Sutoro worked as a field anthropologist in Indonesia under the cover of the Ford Foundation. BIC and the Ford Foundation maintained a close relationship through the BIC's running of the Business International Roundtable. Papers maintained at the John F. Kennedy Library provide a linkage between David E. Bell, the Director of the Bureau of the Budget from 1961 to 1962 and administrator of the USAID from 1963 to 1966, and the Ford Foundation, where Bell served as executive vice president from 1966 to 1981, and Business International, where Bell participated in one of their Business International Roundtables on December 17, 1965, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington. The Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. Foundation helped fund the CIA's Airlift Africa project that saw it used to bring Barack H. Obama, Sr. to the University of Hawaii in 1960, as well as over two hundred other African students to other American universities, as part of the CIA's program to counter the Soviet Union's efforts to provide scholarships to African college students in newly-independent African nations at the People's Friendship University in Moscow (later Patrice Lumumba University). BIC also attempted to infiltrate members of Students for Democratic Society (SDS) at Columbia University in the 1960s by offering them money from Rockefeller family coffers. BIC, which ran Business International Roundtables, was cited in its attempts to infiltrate SDS and other leftist groups. BIC, which helped propel Obama into international affairs and, later, a profession in politics, was a key to the co-option of leftist groups by Rockefeller and other corporate interests. The following video describes how BIC attempted to infiltrate SDS and other leftist groups beginning after 28 minutes. In a book titled "The Strawberry Statement," James Kunen described Business International, as related by an unnamed 1968 SDS conference attendee, as leading an effort to finance SDS demonstrations in Chicago in the late 1960s. BIC is described in the book as "the left wing of the ruling class." Obama was inserted into the south side of Chicago at the same time the CIA, FBI, and other U.S. intelligence agencies were focused on the foreign connections of the El Rukn gang, the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panthers. Obama's membership in a leftist organization at Occidental College in Los Angeles appears to have been a continuation of the infiltration efforts by BIC and its major funder, the CIA. WMR previously reported that Obama was a key asset to the penetration of radical black organizations in south Chicago in the mid-1980s. Of particular interest to the CIA after Obama's graduation from Columbia, was the connections of the El Rukns and Nation of Islam to the Muammar Qaddafi government in Libya, in addition to foreign connections of the Hispanic gang, the Latin Kings, also active in Chicago. In 1986, BIC was sold to The Economist Group in London and merged with the Economist Intelligence Unit. [BIC had maintained "Business International UK Ltd.," which, according to n internal CIA memorandum, subscribed to all the CIA's unclassified publications]. However, the BIC International Roundtables appear to continue under various academic and foundation auspices, including at Obama's former guest law lecturing employer, the University of Chicago. In addition, the BIC International Roundtables appear to be a continuation of the Roundtables first organized by Africa's greatest colonialist plunderers, Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes's business roundtables of the wealthiest elites eventually morphed into the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR. In fact, Obama, the first African-American president of the United States, is a direct product of BIC and its Roundtables, originally founded by Africa's most infamous looter and pillager of diamonds, gold, and other natural resources and promoter of white minority rule and colonialism, Rhodes. On June 14, 1976, Senator John Durkin (D-NH) said there was llittle the Senate could do to reduce the ability of "the Business Roundtable or the Chamber of Commerce . . . to attempt to influence votes, either through sheer force of logic or sheer force." On June 19, 1975, Representative Wright Patman (D-TX) railed on the House floor that "in 1973 and 1974 -- when the previous audit bill was up -- the Federal Reserve and its Chairman entered into some highly questionable lobbying tactics, ending up with the involvement of the big banks and the big business combines incluidng the fat cat Business Roundtable." Obama's current subservience to Wall Street and the Federal Reserve can be seen through the lens of his employment with BIC, a virtual mouthpiece for what Patman described as the "fat cats." BIC was used by the State Department as a diversion for a delegation of General Accounting Office (GAO) representatives who visited Hong Kong in August 1974 looking for information on possibilities for U.S.-Chinese trade after Richard Nixon had opened China up to the United States. A formerly Confidential cable from the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong to the State Department, with copies to the U.S. Liaison Office in Peking and U.S. embassy in Tokyo, dated August 21, 1974, bragged about the consulate's success in diverting the GAO's interest from consulate files on "PRC economic affairs (general), foreign trade and trade promotion, (which includes our files on the Canton Trade Fair)" even though the GAO team told the consulate it was "not supposed to do that." The consulate's problem appeared to be that some of the files were classified. In order to stymie the GAO group, the consulate directed them to conversations with "companies, third country representatives (identified as UK, Canadian, Australian, and West German trade officials in Hong Kong), Far Eastern Economic Review, and Business International staffs." The GAO delegation was particularly interested in potential oil and mining deals with China. It is apparent that the consulate and BIC wanted to keep what they knew about Chinese trade under wraps, even from Congress. A few weeks after the GAO team was in Hong Kong, a new head of the U.S. Liaison Office in Peking replaced Ambassador David Bruce. His name was George H. W. Bush. BIC was also used by the State Department and CIA to keep tabs on U.S. firms on the Arab boycott blacklist for investing in or trading with Israel. A Congressional Record insertion in 1965 stated, "Business International reported in January 1964 that there were 164 U.S. firms on the Arab blacklist, adding that, "many American businessmen who have wanted to trade or invest in Israel have been deterred by Arab threats." BIC also enjoyed a cozy relationship with USAID in 1982, the year before Barack Obama graduated from Columbia and joined BIC's staff in New York. Obama's mother had been a long time employee of USAID, an agency with historical links to the CIA. On June 8, 1962, in a hearing on "U.S. Policies and Programs in Southeast Asia" held by the Senate Subcommittee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs and chaired by Senator S. I. Hayakawa (R-CA), Elise R. W. duPont, the Assistant Administrator for Private Enterprise for USAID, testified that her agency was "working with Business International to develop country specific information on laws, regulations, and policies in developing countries that affect investment." DuPont specifically stated that USAID was using the information from BIC to conduct "bureau reconnaissance missions" in Indonesia and Thailand and this included support for "a venture capital firm and a leasing firm in Indonesia." BIC, along with a CIA-connected firm called InterMatrix, also conducted country risk analyses for the CIA. Obama's first employer acted as a bridge between the U.S. intelligence world, with USAID and other government fronts as cover, and the print media. On May 4, 1967, Acting Secretary of Commerce Alexander B. Trowbridge told the East-West Trade Conference as Bowling Green State University that U.S. trade missions to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were facilitated by "TIME, Inc. and Business International." Trowbridge said the use of "trade publications," such as those for whom Obama worked after graduating from Columbia, "stimulated" the exchange of information between East and West. BIC's relationship with the U.S.governments sensitive trade channels with the East Bloc continued through 1979. A "Cuban Chronology," dated April 1979 and issued by the CIA's National Foreign Assessment Center, states that from November 20 to 25, 1977, BIC sponsored "meetings in Havanaof representatives of 50 US firms and their contact points in the Cuban government." WMR has learned from a reliable source that Obama's grandfather, Stanley Dunham, had traveled to Cuba in 1960 on CIA business with Obama's mother, Ann Dunham. It has also been strongly rumored by informed sources with connections to the Cuban government that Barack H. Obama, Sr. was not the father of Barack Obama, Jr. but that his actual father was an Afro-Cuban who Ann Dunham met during the 1960 trip with her father. A formerly classified CIA "East Europe Branch Notes," report, dated February 4, 1974, states "A three-day roundtable conference between Business International and East German officials concerned with the promotion of trade opened in East Berlin on February 4. Orville Freeman, President of Business International, heads the foreign participants, comprising presidents, vice presidents, and board members of important US and West European enterprises. GDR Premier Sindermann told the group further steps toward detente have a favorable effect on the expansion of foreign economic activities. He also said that East Germany plans to expand substantially its economic relations with non-socialist cluntries. The remainder of the report from East Germany's roundtable with BIC is redacted. BIC, along with the CIA, also participated in private conclaves sponsored by an entity called the "Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions," operating from Post Office Box 4068 in Santa Barbara, California and funded by a non-profit corporation called "The Fund for the Republic," which were held periodically on top of Eucalyptus Hill, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in Santa Barbara. A fellow of the Center was Edward Engberg, the Managing Editor for Business International who was also a former assistant editor for Fortunemagazine. Other center fellows and consultants included Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court William O. Douglas; former President of the University of California Clark Kerr; former President of the University of Chicago Robert M. Hutchins (also the President of the center); and Isidor Rabi, Professor of Physics at Columbia University; Stanley Sheinbaum, former consultant to the government of South Vietnam; John R. Seeley, Chairman of the Sociology Department at Brandeis University; and Harvey Wheeler, co-author of the book "Fail Safe." CIA files contain a 1967 letter to the editor of the Daily Emerald from three anthropology professors at the University of Oregon supporting a decision of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) condemning the "intelligence meddling" of the CIA and Defense Department in anthropological field work. 1967 was the same year that Ann Dunham was performing such anthropological "field work" for USAID, a front for the CIA, in Java, Indonesia. The AAA's Professor Ralph Beals [from UCLA] report stated that the Pentagon and CIA "repeatedly interfered with anthropological work abroad, and have clearly jeopardized our chances, as anthropologists, to do meaningful foreign research." And in what is the clearest evidence yet that Ann Dunham was working for the CIA in Indonesia and elsewhere, the Beals Report stated: "several anthropologists, especially younger ones who had difficulty in securing research funds, were approached by 'obscure' foundations or were offered support from such organizations only to discover later that they were expected to provide intelligence information to the CIA." The report added, "agents of the CIA have posed as anthropologists, much to the detriment of the anthropological research programs." In Ann Dunham/Soetoro's case, her foundation "sugar daddy" was the Ford Foundation and USAID. Her boss at Ford was none other than Peter Geithner, the father of President Obama's current Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner. |

| December 14-15, 2010 -- Obama's CIA brief: infiltrate the Marxist Left and "de-communize" it |
| It is apparent that one of Barack Obama, Jr's
major tasks for the CIA, through his work with
Business International Corporation, his membership
in leftist student groups at Occidental College in
Los Angeles and Columbia University in New York, and
his work as a "community organizer" in south Chicago
was to infiltrate and "de-communize" the Marxist
left and bring it into the capitalist globalist
fold.
Obama's work complemented that of his mother, alleged Kenyan father, and grandfather in peddling the CIA's influence to leftist nationalists in newly-independent nations in what was once known as the "Third World." The goal of the CIA's infiltration of leftist movements through Obama's post-Columbia "leftist outreach" employer, Business International Corporation (BIC) was to carry out the tactics championed by former Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and CIA officer Herbert Marcuse, a German-born Jew and self-proclaimed "Hegelian" and "Marxist." Marcuse's agenda included what Yuri Zhukov wrote in Pravda on May 30, 1968: "radical and global negation of all the elements constituting [the industrial socialist society], including Communist Parties." Marcuse, as Zhukov wrote, sought to "cast doubt on the chief role of the working class in the struggle for progress, democracy, and socialism." Obama's "liberal" policies have succeeded in destroying the progressive left in the United States, including the labor union movement and the social security and welfare programs instituted by the Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson administrations. Obama was groomed by the CIA to do what no Republican or conservative politician could ever do: destroy the American middle class and the American social safety net -- and accomplish these deeds from a contrived "leftist" position. Obama has accomplished his task. Obama's "radical" campus activities mirror those of University of Paris sixties student radical Daniel Cohn-Bendit, who led "Maoist" and "Trotskyite" student riots while on a stipend from the West German government. Cohn-Bendit's activities on behalf of the CIA and the French extreme right were revealed by French General Confederation of Labor Benoit Franchon on May 27, 1968, while addressing workers at a Renault automobile plant, "Right now, a whole cohort of people do nothing but 'feed the fires,' showering all kinds of praise on the young people's enthusiasm, while actually they are preparing a trap and a snare for us." One of the CIA tasks of the French student protesters in Paris in 1968 was the derailing of the Paris peace talks between the United States and North Vietnam. The leftist "fifth columnists" were, thus, responsible for continuing the Indochina war well into the Nixon administration. Just as with his his French "radical" for-bearers, Obama came into office on a wave of American anti-war feelings and then not only continued the U.S. military presence in Iraq but boosted it in Afghanistan and Yemen. Obama's membership in a Marxist Club at Occidental, one of the CIA's favorite campuses for recruiting agents, fit a pattern of CIA meddling in student organizations, particularly leftist ones like Students for a Democratic Society and the National Students' Association, across the nation. Obama's alma mater, Columbia, has a long association with U.S. intelligence that even predates the CIA. The Russian Institute of Columbia University was the brainchild of Professor Gerold T. Robinson in 1944 while he was on loan from Columbia to the OSS. The institute later trained many Slavic language linguists for the CIA's Radio Free Europe and U.S. Air Force personnel who flew signals intelligence missions against the USSR, Hungary, and Albania. Columbia also excelled in training CIA operatives for Ann Dunham-type agricultural "field work" in South Vietnam, Thailand, Bolivia, and Guatemala -- all targets for CIA anti-Communist activities. In 1967, the year Obama's mother whisked him off to post-coup Indonesia, the CIA was revealed to have had several U.S. college students studying abroad on summer studies programs acting as agents. The Independent Research Foundation, co-founded by "leftist" feminist Gloria Steinem, was revealed to have been a CIA front tasked with attending World Youth Festivals and compiling dossiers on attendees. Columbia's School of International Affairs (SIA) conducted detailed studies of socialist countries, including the USSR, that were extremely similar to those produced by BIA. Columbia also maintained close links with the Pentagon and the National Security Agency through its support for the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA). Obama's "faux" journalism work for BIC was authorized by both the CIA and the company's management. Before the post-Watergate restrictions on CIA activities, CIA agents were able to recruit journalists, usually "stringers," without Langley's approval. That changed after the Frank Church and Otis Pike congressional hearings. Somewhere in the bowels of Langley may be CIA-BIC agreements on the use of BIC personnel as CIA assets or agents. And those files may contain the name or names "Barry Obama," "Barry Soetoro," "Barack Obama," or "Barack Sutoro." Obama's other alma mater, Harvard, also maintained close ties with the CIA. The FBI also had a penchant for hiring informers in liberal and black communities like south Chicago. Informers were screened in files known as PSIs and PRIs: potential security informant and potential racial informant and were paid a stipend. After being approved, PSIs and PRIs became "reliable informants" and were assigned a cover name, an informant number, and a regular salary. A scan of the FBI's files for anyone of Obama's appellations during his time in south Chicago may reveal one or more of such informant files. The Rockefeller family was fond of funding a number of left-wing organizations. Groups devoted to the anti-nuclear movement were linked to the Rockefeller Family Fund-supported Corporate Data Exchange. Inc. (CDE), a BIC-like "research organization" albeit a tax-exempt one, founded in 1975 to "investigate economic decentralization and corporate control," according to an April 21, 1983, article in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Reviewtitled "Foundations Bankrolling Anti-Nuclear Causes." Three of the CDE's founders were associated with intelligence-gathering for the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), a progressive organization that is ostensibly opposed to U.S. interventionism in Latin America. The CIA archives contain an undated paper titled "The Agency and the Young Employee," that describes the CIA's outreach to young people: "The young Agency employee or potential employee shares common experiences with his counterparts in the sub-culture and, although he may not have been in most instances an active participant in this counter-culture, he has been in close touch with it and its views." The tract continues, ""menial work -- until he 'knows the business' -- is anathema and is met with derision. He similarly views long periods of training, job orientation, and job rotation as wasteful of his time . . . The CIA is just beginning to see the influx of the new generation . . . They can be a great asset to the present and future of CIA." Indeed, with Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., he was a great asset and continues to be one for the CIA.

| Tales from the Obama Crypt (Obama maternal grandparents) |
| April 5-6, 2011 -- Tales from the Obama Crypt
WMR has spoken to a number of individuals familiar with Barack Obama, Jr. at Harvard and in the city of Chicago. Combined, these individuals who researched Obama during his early lawyer and politician years are painting a very different portrait of Obama and his mother and maternal grandparents. In fact, and as WMR previously reported, Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham and maternal grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, both were affiliated with the Central Intelligence Agency. We have also reported on Obama's maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, and her link to CIA money laundering accounts at the Bank of Hawaii in Honolulu. However, it is now evident, from information gleaned from African-American associates of Obama's in Chicago in the mid-1980s, that Stanley Armour and Madelyn Dunham, like their daughter Stanley Ann Dunham, have fabricated personal histories. From an African-American political activist in Chicago who knows President Obama, we have learned that Obama's mother was not born in Wichita, Kansas but was born in Beirut, Lebanon while her parents were serving with the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the forerunner to the CIA. Ann Dunham's birth date is reported to have been November 29, 1942. This was during the time after which Lebanon's Vichy-led government collapsed --July 14, 1941 -- and when the leader of the Free French, General Charles de Gaulle, proclaimed Lebanon nominally independent. After Lebanon's nominal independence was declared on November 26, 1941, the United States opened an embassy in Beirut at ambassadorial level. Soon, the U.S. embassy in Beirut became one of the top OSS listening in the Middle East and U.S. Army personnel, seconded to the OSS, arrived in the city. Stanley Armour Dunham reportedly enlisted in the U.S. Army on January 18, 1942, a few months after Lebanon's nominal independence was granted under French domination. It is not certain when Mr. Dunham actually joined the Army because his service records in the military have been curiously sealed. It has been reported that Dunham served in England with the 1830th Ordnance Supply and Maintenance Company, Aviation in support of the 9th Air Force in the lead up to the June 6, 1944 Allied invasion of Normandy. However, from 1942 to 1944, little is known of Dunham's military service. Dunham's wife, who supposedly worked at a Boeing B-29 assembly plant in the Dunhams' hometown of Wichita, reportedly gave birth to Stanley Ann Dunham on November 29, 1942. However, we have now learned that Mrs. Dunham was, in fact, posted to Beirut with her OSS husband in 1942 when she gave birth to Obama's mother. The Dunhams would not have been the only couple working together for the OSS. Famed chef Julia Child met her husband Paul Child during their joint service for the OSS during World War II. Julia Child served in Ceylon and China during the war and she met Paul during her OSS service abroad. They married in 1946. Before joining the OSS, Julia Child worked for a furniture store in New York City, W. & J. Sloane. The fascination of retail store people for OSS, and later, CIA work is uncanny. One of the OSS's and Britain's Secret Intelligence Service's (SIS) top "archaeologist" spies in Peru, Cuba, and Chile during World War II was William J. Clothier II, grandson of the co-founder of the Strawbridge & Clothier Department Store chain based in Philadelphia. Another archaeologist who was a spy for the United States in both World Wars I and II was Samuel Lothrop, who, according to David H. Price in his book "Anthropological Intelligence: The Deployment and Neglect of American Anthropology in the Second World War," was not only from a wealthy New England family but was friends with New York socialite and one of Franklin Roosevelt's intelligence advisers, Vincent Astor. Lothrop was kin to Alvin Lothrop of Chelsea, Massachusetts, who, with Samuel Woodward founded the Woodward and Lothrop department store chain in Washington, DC. Nor would anthropologist spies been unknown to the Dunhams in Beirut. According to Price in his book, one of the OSS's leading anthropologist spies, Derwood Lockard, served in Beirut toward the end of World War II after having served in Kenya from 1943 to 1944. Stanley Armour Dunham supposedly was discharged from the Army on August 30, 1945, but because his military records are sealed, this cannot be verified. In the post-war years, the Dunhams were said to have moved to Berkeley, California; Ponca City, Oklahoma; Vernon, Texas; El Dorado, Kansas; and Mercer Island in Seattle, Washington before moving to Honolulu, Hawaii in 1960. Stanley Armour Dunham, according to what is now appears to be a biography concocted by the CIA, for whom Dunham began working for in 1947 after the transition from the OSS. Mr. Dunham supposedly worked for a chain of furniture stores. Not much is known about the Dunhams' daughter, Stanley Ann, until she was enrolled in Mercer Island High School in 1956. However, if the Dunhams were stationed in Beirut up until the time Stanley Ann Dunham was enrolled in Mercer Island High School in 1956, all the furniture store jobs held down by Stanley Armour and all the restaurant waitress jobs held by his wife were clever ruses devised by the CIA to mask their actual war-time work in the Middle East. From Oklahoma to Washington state and finally to Hawaii, Stanley Dunham reportedly worked for four furniture stores: J. G. Paris in Ponca City, Doces Majestic and Standard-Grunbaum in Seattle, and Pratt Furniture in Honolulu. There is no documentation to show that Pratt in Honolulu existed beyond a Hawaii-registered shell company. In addition, Madelyn Dunham's wartime OSS work with her husband in Lebanon would explain why she became one of the first female vice presidents at the Bank of Hawaii in Honolulu and was trusted to handle the escrow accounts used to bribe CIA-financed leaders in Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and the Philippines. Madelyn was enrolled at the University of Washington before moving to Hawaii but she never obtained her degree. Evacuating Madelyn Dunham and her daughter from Lebanon in 1956 would have made sense for the CIA. In 1956, what had been a peaceful country conducive to a CIA family posting became embroiled in conflict between the Christian Maronite President Camille Chamoun on one side and Sunni Muslim Lebanese Prime Minister Rashid Karami and Egypt's President Gamal Abdel Nasser on the other side. The UK, French, and Israeli invasion of Suez, although not supported by President Dwight Eisenhower, caused problems for the Americans in Lebanon. The pro-U.S. Chamoun was accused by Karami and Nasser of not taking stronger action against London and Paris, including severing diplomatic relations, for their attack on Egypt. The creation of the United Arab Republic (UAR) by Egypt and Syria in 1958, the calls by Lebanese Sunnis for Lebanese accession to the UAR, and the overthrow of the Hashemite monarchy in Iraq the same year, promoted Eisenhower to land U.S. Marines in Lebanon in 1958 in response to a request from Chamoun. By that time, the Dunham mother and daughter had been safely inserted into Mercer Island, which had a heavy concentration of CIA and Pentagon personnel. It is quite possible that Stanley Armor Dunham's "furniture store" cover in Seattle was used to mask his actual continued work in Lebanon for Eisenhower's OPERATION BLUE BAT Marine landing in Beirut.
There is a photographic clue as to the Dunhams presence in Beirut in the early to mid 1950s. In the photograph above, a ten- or elevem-year old Stanley Ann Dunham (left) is wearing a sash with the stylized abbreviation "NdJ" on the sash of her school uniform. WMR has had it confirmed by African-Americans in Chicago who knew Obama that the abbreviation stands for "Notre-Dame de Jamhour," a private Catholic school in Beirut, which, as WMR previously reported, "NdJ was a male-only school until 1975 but there is also information that NdJ has had a sponsorship arrangement with Catholic educational institutions in Lyon, France." As with his mother and maternal grandparents, there are huge holes in the history of President Obama. Although it has been previously reported that his academic records from Occidental and Columbia remain sealed, there are facets of Obama's time at Harvard Law School. Obama was elected the first black president of the Harvard Law Review in 1990. Although Obama was quotedin The New York Times, at the time, saying, "The fact that I've been elected shows a lot of progress . . . It's encouraging . . . But it's important tat stories like mine aren't used to say that everything is O.K. for blacks. You have to remember that for every one of me, there are hundreds or thousands of black students with at least equal talent who don't get a chance." However, according to an African-American contemporary of Obama at Harvard in 1988, two years before Obama's election to head the Harvard Law Review, there was another painted of Obama. Our source happened to hear a speech by an unknown law school student on campus who was railing against black student activism on campus, cautioning those present that such activism was counter-productive. Our source listened intently to the student's speech and turned to a colleague and inquired, "who is that mulatto up there speaking against our interests?" The answer from the other student was, "That's Barry Obama." The last name was pronounced by some Harvard African-American students as "O-Bama," as in "ALA-bama," a reference to Obama's conservative views that accommodated white faculty and students on campus. Our source did opine tohis colleague at the time, "that mulatto is going places with that attitude." |

| November 17, 2009 -- There's a political ill
wind blowing for Obama in Chicago
A long-serving member of the Chicago Police Department who now tracks corruption in city politics told WMR that the last-minute trip by President Barack Obama to Copenhagen on October 2 to appeal to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was part of a strategy hatched by Obama's Chicago real estate friends and contributors to cash in on profits on speculative real estate investments had Chicago secured the 2016 Summer Olympics. Instead, the IOC awarded the Summer games to Brazil. Our Chicago source revealed that Valerie Jarrett, the director of the White House Office of Public Liaison that works with state and local governments, was a key player in the deal to bring the 2016 games to Chicago. Jarrett's firm, Habitat, Inc., WMR was told, played a key part in the Chicago Olympic development scheme. Jarrett had served as Vice Chairman of Chicago 2016, the non-profit organization established to lure the games to the city, and she worked closely with Michael Scott. A key member of Mayor Richard Daley's Olympic committee, real estate developer Scott, who was also President of the Chicago Board of Education and a confidante of the Chicago school system's former CEO, Arne Duncan, President Obama's friend and current Education Secretary, was found dead in the early morning of November 16. Scott's body was found in the Chicago River and the Chicago medical examiner reported Scott died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head. Scott owned Michael Scott & Associates, a real estate development and investment firm. Scott and his firm stood to make a fortune in the sale of land in Chicago's Douglas Park had Chicago been awarded the 2016 games. Scott also teamed up with Chicago real estate developer Gerald Fogelson in 2002 to form FS Associates LLC to develop Chicago West Side properties. Scott and Fogelson were eyeing the multi-billion Olympic Village project. Fogelson, through Fogelson Companies, Inc. and Jersen Investments, LLC, was a major contributor to Democratic candidates, including presidential candidate Barack Obama. Jarrett served as Chair of the Chicago Transit Board from 1995 to 2005 and also had inside knowledge of public and private land since the Transit Board was a major player in acquiring land for transit projects. Our Chicago source pinpoints Jarrett as the key player in the Olympic land grab deal, along with senior members of the Daley adminisration and Michelle Obama, the First Lady. This past September, Chicago constructor and top fundraiser for impeached Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Christoper Kelly, was found dead from apparently overdosing on a pain killer. Kelly, who was involved in construction projects at O'Hare International Airport, pleaded guilty to federal fraud counts. O'Hare's expansion was part of the incentive package used by Chicago to lure the 2016 Olympic games to the city. WMR has been told that there are "smoking gun" documents dealing with Habitat Inc.'s involvement with the Chicago Olympic bid and we are trying to obtain them.

| WMR White House battles U.S. intelligence factions via WikiLeaks and Anonymous March 12-13, 2012 |
| The Obama White House is running a covert
operation that is using authorized leaks of
information through groups such as WikiLeaks and
Anonymous to battle against other parts of the U.S.
intelligence community that are resisting Obama
efforts to engage in massive warfare in cyber-space,
according to well-placed Pentagon insiders.
Using the assets of the U.S. Cyber Command, headed by General Keith Alexander and continuing warrantless wiretapping authorities carried over from the Bush administration, a covert group of White House conspirators working under the direction of White House Office of Information Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) chief Cass Sunstein and National Security Council adviser Samantha Power, Sunstein's wife, cyber-hackers have gained access to various computer networks and released information damaging to White House enemies in the intelligence community. The most recent target of such activity was the private intelligence firm Stratfor, an Austin, Texas-based company that is close to Republicans and employs a number of former CIA and military intelligence personnel. While the White House has actively engaged in indicting and punishing government whistleblowers who have contacted the media, the OIRA-led group has been responsible for leaking volumes of data to the media, using WikiLeaks and members of the hacker group as go-betweens. Although the Justice Department is trying Army Private First Class Bradley Manning and is seeking the extradition of Australian WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange, the White House and State Department have admitted that none of the State Department cables, the highest classified as "Secret," released through WikiLeaks were damaging to U.S. national security. However, Manning and Assange were unwitting pawns in high-stakes warfare between the Obama White House and its accomplices the U.S. intelligence community, including Alexander and CIA director David Petraeus. U.S. government infiltration of activist groups Two low-level operatives of the White House operation have already been identified as working as confidential informants for the FBI. Adrien Lamo helped to lure Manning into his web in order to provide the covert White House team with a "patsy" to ensure "plausible deniability" of White House involvement in the State Department cable release. And more recently, Hector Monsegur, aka "Sabu," was identified as an FBI informant within the ranks of the hacker group LulzSec, which is linked to the hacking activities of Anonymous. The entire covert White House operation is designed to advance cyber-space as a battleground in which to wage information warfare against various governments around the world with a view to undermining their credibility and causing them to fall as a result of U.S.-orchestrated street action and "themed" or "color" revolutions. It is known that there was resistance to such activities from career State Department foreign service officials, as well as current and retired CIA and Defense Intelligence agency personnel, some of whom work for Stratfor. The leak of some 250,000 State Department cables and 5 million Stratfor e-mails by the covert White House group was engineered to undermine members of the Foreign Service and older and retired members of the U.S. intelligence community who oppose the use of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in actions that contributed to the ouster of regimes long-supported by the CIA and some senior U.S. diplomats, including those in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Yemen. U.S. government-sponsored campaigns of opinion-shaping and disinformation The release by Invisible Children, an NGO with dubious motives, of the viral video about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony and his long-time abuse of child soldiers, "Kony 2012," on YouTube, an act encouraged by the Sunstein/Power husband-wife team, is seen by State Department Africanists as a way to inject the already war-weary Pentagon into internal African civil warfare to the benefit of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) clients in the region, including Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni, Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga, and Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame. However, the White House team was sloppy in not thoroughly checking the content of the Stratfor emails. The push-back against the White House hacking and disinformation team can be seen in two Stratfor e-mails that mentions the operations of one of the members of the Sunstein/Power team, off-and-on State Department official Jared Cohen of Movements.org, one of the many organizations that are partly or fully funded by George Soros's Open Society Institute (OSI). Cohen is now the director of Google Ideas. In one email, dated February 11, 2011, Stratfor's Fred Burton refers to Cohen as a "loose cannon" who is using his Google position to engage in "regime change" through a "scorched earth" policy. Burton suggests that Israel's security agency Shabak pick Cohen up for an "interview" while entering Gaza after being involved in fomenting street protests in Tunisi8a and Egypt. The e-mail also says it was uncertain whether Cohen was acting on his own -- "driving without a license" -- or working on the "part of leftest [sic] fools inside the WH who are using him for their agendas." WMR has learned from Pentagon sources that Cohen was, in fact, acting on behalf of the Sunstein/Power group. In addition, we have learned that Cohen's operation was supported by Sarah Sewall, the founder of the Mass Atrocity Response Operations (MARO) Project at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government's Carr Center and a close adviser to Petraeus and Obama. Sewall was a member of the Obama Transition Team for national security and she served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Peacekeeping and Humanitarian Assistance in the Clinton administration. Along with Petraeus, Sewall wrote a foreword to the U.S. Army and Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Manual, released in 2007. Along with Sunstein, Power, U.S. ambassador to the UN Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, and chief Obama policy adviser Valerie Jarrett, Sewall is part of the "brain trust" running the covert White House computer hacking and information warfare team. After successfully engineering the toppling of the Ben Ali, Mubarak, Qaddafi, and Saleh regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen, respectively, the team is now concentrating on regime changes in Syria, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, Myanmar, Sudan, Algeria, Russia, and China. Conversely, the White House operation, using automatic "sock puppet" software among other tactics, is attempting to forestall the popular overthrow of unelected supranationally-installed austerity governments in Greece and Italy by spreading the meme that the Greek and Italian working class are lazy tax evaders who have been living off the public dole. In a March 29, 2011, e-mail, Stratfor's Sean Noonan wrote that Cohen was part of a State Department initiative in 2008 that saw the foundation of Movements.org and that this was part of a program initiated during the Bush administration to engage in "public diplomacy" over the Internet. The email cites the 21st Century Diplomacy and Civil Society 2.0 programs as being part of this initiative and that one of the first operations of the State Department team was to organize a worldwide protest against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in 2008. But where the Stratfor analysis was mistaken was its conclusion that Cohen's Movements.org had split with the U.S. government. If one defines the covert White House information operations team as separate from the U.S. government, Stratfor would be correct. However, the Sunstein/Power/Sewall/Rice/Jarrett/McFaul team has been officially sanctioned by President Obama, CIA director Petraeus, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Even though Power referred to Mrs. Clinton as a "monster" during the 2008 presidential election campaign, this has not curbed Clinton's enthusiasm for using the "soft power" of Facebook, Twitter, NGOs, and propagandized Al Jazeera, Voice of America, and other media to bring about regime change in targeted countries. The Noonan email states that Cohen and Movements.org established cells across Cairo in support of the Egyptian April 6 Youth Movement. The White House covert information warfare program also enjoys the support of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Louis Moreno Ocampo who is ensuring that officials of the United States and its allies are not accused of war crimes in fomenting and stoking the flames of internal rebellions. The Noonan email cites the role of two organizations funded by the CIA, used to mount and anti-government uprising in Serbia, and inspired by the Albert Einstein Institutions Gene Sharp, the architect of the current CIA blueprint for co-opted revolutions -- the Center for Applied NonViolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS) and OTPOR! The role of the 2008 State Department-sponsored Alliance for Youth Summit in New York in backing the future April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt is also referenced. The email also states that Otpor! lost much of its steam after the 2003 assassination of Otpor's favored leader, Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Dindic, in 2003. In a "not for publication" paragraph, the email states, "Serbia is exactly what we don't want to see"---Otpor needed a political leader and was able to create that, but Dindic was assassinated in 2003 and the momentum of Otpor has not been maintained afterwards." The Noonan email also states that Myanmar and Cuba are targets for Movements.org in organizing themed revolutions. The information corresponds to the information WMR received about the current priorities of the covert White House information operations group.

GOOGLE is trying to stop his entry into Gaza now because the dude is like scorched earth. Its unclear to GOOGLE if he's driving w/out a license, but GOOGLE believes he's on a specific mission of "regime change" on the part of leftest fools inside the WH who are using him for their agendas.

So Jared Cohen was at DoS then and played a major role in starting the organization. The main goal was just spreading the good word about the US. Similar inititiaves have come aobut in 21st Century Diplomacy and Civil Society 2.0, but movments.org has since split from the US government. A key turning point in leading to its creates was seeing Oscar Morales organize a Global Day of Protest against FARC in 2008. This is the first time social networking was really used to organize a protest. [This part is not for publication] Three goals- Taking people wanting social change from the internet to constructive activism by: 1. monopolizing on initial success (this generally means getting popular on facebook) 2. Staying secure 3. Peer-to-peer training Currently choosing "Unlikely Leaders" to be invited to the next Global Summit. These are people that for example start a facebook activisit group that becomes very popular and then suddenly are completely unprepared--much like April 6 in Egypt. CANVAS will also be invited. Source is familiar with them, but has not been through their training. they are part of a network of NGOs ready to negotiate with Facebook when activist accounts are deleted or hacked. Movements.org wants a sort of Facebook customer service to be created just to deal with activism, since there are positives and negatives to allowing anonymous accounts, and those will probably never be allowed anyway. Movements.org is engaging with these groups once they actually get popular. This is the main criteria for their involvement, or inviting them to their Summits. Answer to the neutrality issue-- "we are by no means trying to overthrow governments." Movements.org goal is to develop civil society and social movements. [Not for Pub. And don't let this get back to RS501, for now] "Serbia is exactly what we don't want to see"---Otpor needed a political leader and was able to create that, but Dindic was assinated in 2003 and the momentum of Otpor has not been maintained afterwards. [Not for pub] The Internet is helpful in bring people together, but the hard part is keeping them together. The first real examples politically were the color revolutions and now MENA. But the challenge has been keeping the momentum going to keep these social movements alive. They were a case study in the power of technology for short-term political change, but that's it. Movements.org was communicating with someone at April 6 who said they had established different cells across Cairo in case one group was arrested. [not sure if we knew this] Egyptians are now presented with two choices--1. to find a political leader and take power or, 2. To create a sustainable social movement. Source sees this as a dichotomy. Manuel Castells is the only academic to have really examined the internet in terms of social networks. Agrees with S-weekly on Social media. The impetus for these revolutions is there already, social media is just tapping into that. MY THOUGHTS AND IMPRESSIONS First, to explain the thing about Serbia- the source is pretty set on trying to create these long-term sustainable social movements that are effective over various issues, rather than new political parties that take power. The criticism of OTPOR is interesting, and is telling about how Movements.org would like to work. I get the idea that this organization is actually farther behind then we are--understaffed and inexperienced. I don't mean this critically, because really no one is that experienced in online organization--they are breaking new ground. They have a pretty good understanding of the challenges presented by social media--and that is really what they are focusing on, but don't really have solutions yet. Their main response to this is to develop this peer-to-peer training done through people they designate as ambassadors to work with others in their own country or region. So really what Movements.org is doing right now is creating a database of training materials and valuable networks for groups to learn from each other--not doing direct training like CANVAS. They are also doing everything after things get started--waiting for these groups to get big, then trying to work with them. This means they aren't identifying countries or groups to start some shit in. Though, I get the impression they would like to be more active in th emore oppresive countries like Cuba and Myanmar. You can probably see how the idealism bleeds through.
