BACKSTORY----OBAMA'S HALF-BROTHER LINKED TO MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WND | Jerome R. Corsi / August 2013 / FR Posted by barmag25

NEW YORK – Malik, Pres Obama’s half-brother in Kenya could cause the White House more headaches over new evidence (1) linking Malik to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and, (2) establishing a controversial tax-exempt fast-tracked by then-IRS supervisor Lois Lerner.

Malik Obama’s duties as overseer of the Muslim Brotherhood’s international investments is one reason for the Obama administration’s support of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to an Egyptian report citing the vice president of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt...

====================================================

Malik's tax-free Obama foundation, fast-tracked by Lois Lerner for IRS tax-exempt status, is based at a Virginia UPS store, according to its website. The organization’s IRS filings list another Virginia address that is actually a drug rehab center where the foundation does not appear ever to have been based.

As first reported by The Daily Caller, the foundation was speedily approved for IRS exemption by Lois Lerner, the self-same IRS senior official at the center of the targeting of conservative organizations that have waited over two years to receive tax exempt status. The IRS thoughtfully gave Obama Foundation retroactive fund-raising status.......which it stupidly never applied for.

The tax-exempt Barack H. Obama Foundation is run by Abon’go “Roy” Malik Obama, the half-brother of Barack Obama.

The foundation’s mission statement is “to provide people everywhere with resources to uplift their welfare and living standards in memory of dad---Barack H. Obama: in the region of his birth, Kenya, and beyond.” Its guiding principle is “the inherent belief that no one can truly enjoy the riches he has reaped if his neighbor suffers....."We seek to elevate the human condition so that everyone can live in dignity and truly enjoy having one another as neighbors.”

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Despite raising more than $250,000, the alleged charity doesn’t seem to have done much. Its website claims the organization has built a madrassa and was building an imam’s house as well as some “proposed latrines,” but there is no other evidence that the nonprofit was working to “mitigate social-shortcomings in areas of education and literacy, health and well-being, poverty, and lack of community infrastructure in such basic needs such as water, electricity, shelter and sustenance,” as the site says.

Alton Ray Baysden, a former Dept of State employee, allegedly a registered Republican, who helped start the Barack H Obama foundation, declined to comment before seeing copies of a reporter’s passport and govt ID, along with a description of the article’s “motivation” and “slant.”

Repeated reporters' phone calls went to the organization’s voicemail and were not returned.

================================

OBAMA GIVES 50 MILLION DOLLARS IN AID TO KENYA;
O'S KENYAN HALF-BROTHER READY TO CASH IN---
VIA THE TAX-EXEMPT "OBAMA FOUNDATION"?

The tax-exempt “charity” named for their absent Dad. Malik spends most of his time in Kenya with his 12 wives while Obama finances his half brother, Malik, a major fundraiser for the Muslim Bortherhood.

"Why has Lois Lerner not been formally indicted? Why is she running around on a taxpayer paid vacation?"

She won't be indicted while the DOJ is in Obama/Holder's hands. When the DOJ is corrupt, justice itself is compromised. I suppose that the House could have arrested and detained her, but that probably would have required Boehner's approval. Holder wears his Contempt of Congress citation with honor, so that is also an empty threat. The root of the problem sits in the White House and with the emerging fourth arm of the government - regulatory agencies that are currently beyond the reach of any checks and balances.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

If the House Leadership doesn’t order the House Sergeant of Arms to arrest Lerner immediately then these hearings are nothing but they usually are: kabuki theater.

[Inwoodian]

Should they hold Lois Lerner in contempt, who does the arresting, incarceration and prosecution? If it is someone in the Executive branch forget it.

[ripley]

Just a bunch of junior-high-schoolers elected by a bunch of junior-high-schoolers in the electorate.

(Absolutely irritating, aggravating and obnoxious)

The Malik Obama IRS filing exposes that Lois Lerner used govt offices to apparently aid and abet money laundering and tax evasion----and that, most egregiously, Lerner used govt offices to grant an alien resident, with documented ties to terrorist organizations---tax-exempt privileges that she denied to authentic Americans----based solely on the spurious fact that Americans run conservative organizations which are disliked by president Obama.

The alien resident---who resides in Kenya---was granted Tax-exempt statust via a falsified 501 (c) (3) application. Malik Obama's workplace is located in the Sudan-- on file & listed on his own website.

Apparently the alien resident was granted tax exempt license as the modus operandi to collect US taxpayers dollars & funnel them overseas......also troubling are the alien's joint overseas investments.

NOTE WELL: When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers.

To unsuspecting outsiders, it seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff, and other entities, in order to avoid scrutiny.

Muslim money-laundering modalities finance global jihad.

freedomoutpost.com (EXCERPT)---the American Freedom Law Center, has been engaged in a long and drawn out lawsuit againstHamas front group, CAIR. Hamas-CAIR has been running a global criminal money laundering operation out of Washington, DC. "The money laundering scheme was discovered in the course of legal discovery in unrelated federal litigation arising out of allegations by five of CAIR's former clients that CAIR defrauded them by failing to provide the legal services they had been promised."

THE MODUS OPERANDI To avoid reporting these millions of dollars from the dubious Islamist sources and to avoid registering as an agent for a foreign sovereign as required by federal law, CAIR created a separate company called CAIR-Foundation, Inc---an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

CAIR itself quit filing any federal tax returns from 2008-2010 and allowed the IRS to withdraw its status as a 501(c)(4), converting itself to a regular for-profit corporation. CAIR also stopped all of its operations and became simply a holding company, transferring, at least on the books, all of its employees and equipment to CAIR Foundation. --snip--

========================================

The alien resident granted tax-exempt status was recently subpoenaed by the Egyptian AG, WRT charges of aiding terrorism in Egypt......as the hydra-headed question of public figures facilitating money-laundering for the Muslim Brotherhood raises its ugly head.

EXHIBIT ONE Ex-president Bill Boy Clinton was grinning like a simpering fool at the annual meeting of the tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative Foundation". Notwithstanding the bombshell news that (1) the Clintons had employed a Muslim Brotherhood activist....and, (2) the Clinton Foundations were outed by the NY Times for their shady dealings and runaway spending.

EXHIBIT TWO Gehad al Haddad, Muslim Brotherhood activist AND former Clinton employee.....ready to carry out presidential orders.

Gehad is currently sitting in a nice comfy Egyptian jail as we type. Gehad al Haddad was a Muslim Brotherhood spox--while simultaneously working at Hillary and Bill's tax-exempt foundation.

Gehad was arrested by the Egyptian military for inciting violence AT THE SAME TIME he was a Clinton employee. Gehad knows plenty about the way the M/B uses tax-exempts for money-laundering (to finance terror activities against America).

==============================================

EXHIBIT THREE--THE CLINTON-MUSLIM TERRORISM CONNECTION --- The Muslim terrorist was working at the Clinton Foundation AND conducting terrorist activities at the same time. Gehad al Haddad's intimacy w/ the Clintons explains why they remade themselves into the hallowed "Clinton Family Foundation."

EXHIBIT FOUR The Clintons' shady tax-exempt modalities are unveiled in the recent NYT investigative story. Corruption, greed, entitlement, nepotism, cronyism. The Clintons didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---never even had a home to call their own. Now they're multi-millionaires.......with hundreds of millions in donations from dubious sources financing Hillary's ambitions and Bill's ego-driven obsession for being in the limelight.

=====================================

EXHIBIT FIVE There needs to be a thorough going-over of the three Clinton Foundations. We need to know who pays/funds the Clinton's lifestyle/political ambitions---- especially b/c Hillary is running for prez. It is important to know to whom the Clinton's are truly indebted.

EXHIBIT SIX---NY POST EXCERPT ----The Bill Clinton Foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses — Bill Clinton’s foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses since 2003, an analysis of the nonprofit’s tax forms reveal.....includes $4.2 million in 2011 for the William J. Clinton Foundation (to which Hillary and Chelsea are attached); $730,000 for the Clinton Global Health Initiative; and $7.2 million for the Clinton Health Action Initiative (CHAI).

This goes all the way to the semi circular office at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Bet on it. A visit to Ft. Marcy Park awaits any squealers.

is this groundhog day again?

[MrB]

“I won’t be saying anything that might incriminate me”

means there are facts of the case that are incriminating.

When do the cuffs get applied?

Should be applied before leaving the stand, imo.

[originalbuckeye]

Just another Obama Pig feeding at the Obama slop trough. Throw them ALL in prison and throw away the key!!

[WinMod70]

“Private negotiations to see what she can offer by way of testimony if given immunity.”

Sounds reasonable. Then what? Either she has something worthy of immunity and will spill the beans (Don’t think she will) or she maintains the “I ain’t saying nothin’” strategy. Contempt of Congress? Would the Attorney General (who has been found in criminal and civil contempt) convene a grand jury?

I’m thinking Issa et al has enough evidence to charge Lerner but she doesn’t fear prosecution.

No surprise. Wake me when some is actually prosecuted.

8 minutes
This video includes more footage. Cummings begins by stating he has a question, microphone is cut, then on again for about a minute.

Cummings continued after what you see on this video. He proceeded to state “facts” according to democrats and came to conclusion that mistakes were made, but nothing illegal.

He became the prosecutor, jury and judge.

The feed was eventually cut on c-span too.

IRS Scandal - Fmr IRS Official Lois Lerner Takes The The Fifth Again At House Hearing

[Vaduz]

Made members in the Obama regime often use the Fifth Amendment.

[TankerKC]

We need to get the apolitical interested in this. Here’s my Facebook post today:

Facebook is mainly a place to keep up with old friends and family. In that vein, I’ve tried to limit my political posts.

But, today I have to say something to all of my friends, because EVERY US citizen needs to recognize this:

FOR THE BETTER PART OF TWO YEARS (OR MORE), THE IRS WAS TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS.

Fact.

If you are not aware of this issue, I urge you to research it. Start with the Google searches “Lois Lerner” and “not even a smidgen”.

If you will tolerate this, what other forms of government corruption and suppression will you support?

First they came…

[ScottinVA]

He proceeded to state “facts” according to democrats and came to conclusion that mistakes were made, but nothing illegal.

John Gacy was a democrat... Cummings would've termed all Gacy's murders of those boys as "mistakes."

[maine-iac7]

ah - what am I missing here?

We heard, over and over, that she waived her legal right of the 5th - in giving a statement first.

So why was she allowed to do it - and get away with it. Why isn’t she charged with CONTEMPT -

Is Issa ever going to do anything but blow smoke?

[matginzac]

This is Susan McDougal all over again...except Lerner won’t be going to jail anytime soon.
Issa looked weak, unprepared and ineffective today. Jordan came on Fox afterward and gave washy washy answers as to what’s coming next, as if he had no idea.
This goose is cooked; this circus has folded; this criminal has walked free.
