Yes, it was written about and discussed awhile back..... Obama’s campaign intentionally disabled the credit card security features that allow secure payment systems on websites to compare credit card numbers with personal info and confirm the validity of address and name info submitted.
Thus, by conscious decision the Obama campaign made it a simple matter for ANYONE, ANYWHERE in the world to make illegal donations to the Obama campaign, online but untraceable. All they had to do was either to use those temporary credit cards that can be purchased widely, or else even use their own credit cards but submit false name and address info.
The Obama campaign was a model of corruption and dishonesty, and the great “McCain-Feingold CFR” posed no obstacle at all to tens or hundreds of millions of dollars pouring illegally into the Obama campaign. Who really knows the magnitude of illegal contributions they received? There is no tracking or auditing system in place.
Thank you for detailing this, I’d heard of it but have no idea how this kind of thing works. Just another example of the Bush administration not going after certain folks because they feared political fallout, when they should have been more concerned with these things called “laws”.
