In an age where the college records of presidential candidates are generally released to the public. Barack Obama stands alone in keeping his college records sealed. In June of 1981, right after moving to NYC with almost no money, Obama was able to travel to [[Indonesia]] and [[Pakistan]] despite Pakistan being on the [[US State Department]]’s “no travel” list in 1981. In Pakistan, Obama went on a partridge hunting trip with Muhammad Soomro, who went on go on to become acting [[president of Pakistan]] in 2008.<ref>[[Document:Fifty Years of the Deep State]]</ref>

A database entry from the National Student Clearinghouse <ref>an educational nonprofit which receives from participating universities the enrollment and degree information of their students to respond on their behalf for degree confirmation in conformity with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Student_Clearinghouse</ref> detailed that Obama was not enrolled in the fall of [[1981]]. At the request of [[WND]] Clearinghouse looked into the matter and said they found a "computer error"; an entry was originally created but another one later that was not correct - they basically confirmed Obama was attending from 1981 to 1983.

Barack Obama's paternal grandfather, [[Onyango Obama]], was a fighter for the [[King's African Rifles]] during World War 1.<ref>[http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2011/may/12/apple-fell-far-tree/ "The Apple Fell Far from the Tree"], ''New York Review of Books'', May 12, 2011</ref> The King's African Rifles were a pro-colonialist group with allegiance to the British Empire, which colonized Kenya at the time. The soldiers of the group, known as ''askaris'', were native inhabitants of Kenya, while the officers were from the British Army. Onyango Obama first converted from his native African religion to be a Protestant Christian during British colonial rule.<ref>http://www.blacksdahistory.org/obama-and-adventism.html</ref> He then claims that he was imprisoned and tortured by the British for six months for "seeking the independence of Kenya", though no such records of this exist.<ref>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/africa/article5276010.ece</ref> He then later claimed to have converted to Islam and adopted the name "Hussein", from which Barack Obama received his middle name.<ref name="AP-obama-kin">https://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-03-05-obama-kin_N.htm</ref> Some have suggested that he portrayed himself as being targeted by the British for seeking independence and his public conversion to [[Islam]] in order to infiltrate pro-independence and Muslim circles to act as a [[spy]] for [[British intelligence]]. The pro-colonial lineage of Obama has been left unmentioned by the mainstream media, whom often champion his election as a black civil rights victory.

As a loyal member of the [[US deep state]], Obama has continued the [[deep state]]'s policies of the [[militarisation]] of US Society by assisting the rollback of [[civil liberties]], and ramping up the [[war on terror]] while continuing the unhampered [[mass surveillance]]. Nobel peace prize not withstanding, his foreign policy has been to escalate conflicts abroad and to try to reignite a new [[cold war]]. [[Bob Franken]] remarked in 2011 that {{SMWQ

Obama has continued the US government's policy of [[terrorising people]] both within the US and overseas. A couple of days before collecting his nobel peace prize, he announced a "surge" (i.e. an increase, what was referred to in the less image-conscious days of the [[Vietnam War]] as an "escalation") in troop numbers in the ongoing [[US invasion of Afghanistan]].<ref>[http://www.workerspower.net/nobel-peace-prize-winner-obama-launches-afghan-surge "Surge in Afghanistan"]</ref>

[[Murder]] without pretense of judicial process has become a routine part of [[US foreign policy]] under Obama. Not long after becoming president, he arranged what senior US officials called "Terror Tuesdays" in which he personally selects people for assassination by [[drone]] strikes. [[Jeremy Scahill]] noted that "One of the enduring legacies of Obama's presidency is how he has normalised [[assassination]] as a central component of what is called America's national security policy"<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/world/defence-and-security-blog/2013/may/13/dirty-wars-drones "Dirty wars drones"]</ref> Obama is reported to have told his aides while discussing drone strikes that he’s "really good at killing people".<ref>[http://www.businessinsider.com.au/obama-said-hes-really-good-at-killing-people-2013-11 "Obama said he's really good at killing people"]</ref>

Obama has pledged to reduce the world’s stockpile of nuclear arms, whilst seeking to increase funding for nuclear weapons research. In [[2010]] he sought to expand the US nuclear budget and in October 2013, his [[Assistant Defense Secretary]] [[Madelyn Creedon]] told a panel in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] that "modernization work of this kind is expensive, but there is no doubt that the investment ... is necessary", explaining why multi-billion dollar expenditure was needed to modernize the US [[nuclear arsenal]] in pursuit of President Barack Obama's goal of reducing it.<ref>[http://www.cryptogon.com/?p=13457 "Obama Budget Seeks More Money for Nuclear Weapons"]</ref><ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/10/30/us-usa-defense-nuclear-idUSBRE99T00Y20131030 "U.S. nuclear arms overhaul needed to ensure reliability: officials"]</ref>

On 27 May [[2016]], speaking on the first visit by a US president to Hiroshima in [[Japan]], Obama called for nations to reconsider the development of [[nuclear weapons]] and to roll back and “ultimately eliminate” them. He concluded:
 
−
:“The world was forever changed here. But today, the children of this city will go through their day in peace. What a precious thing that is. It is worth protecting, and then extending to every child. That is the future we can choose. A future in which Hiroshima and Nagasaki are known not for the bomb of [[atomic warfare]] but as the start of our own moral awakening.”<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-visits-hiroshima-more-than-seven-decades-after-the-worlds-first-atomic-strike/2016/05/27/c7d0d250-23b6-11e6-8690-f14ca9de2972_story.html "In Hiroshima 71 years after first atomic strike, Obama calls for end of nuclear weapons"]</ref>

Under Obama, public acceptance of [[torture]] is higher than it was under [[George W Bush]] in [[2001]]. His admission that "we tortured some folks" has been followed by a marked absence of discussion about legal actions as a result - which are mandated by the [[United Nations Convention against Torture]], to which the US has long been a signatory.

Though the mainstream media and conservative politicians have suggested that the birth certificate has been hidden because it will show a birthplace of [[Kenya]], some have theorized that it has been hidden due to Barack Obama really being born in [[Israel]]. It’s thus suspected that Obama's political rivals have capitalized on this, knowing that a genuine copy could not be publicly released, and instead propagated an Obama-Kenya-Muslim connection in order to demonize both Obama and Muslims while not negatively effecting Jews and Israel.

==Origin of Name==

Barack Obama himself writes that his name is of Arabic origin, though this seems dubious and implausible. There is no such word – let alone name – such as Barrack (باراك) in the Arabic language. This form of conjugation of the Arabic root for 'blessing' (b-r-k) in itself does not exist in the Arabic language. Arabs, or the greater Muslim population for that matter, are also not known to use the name either as a given name nor as a surname.

Barack Obama seems to have a name of Arabic origin. There is no such word as his first name (باراك) in the Arabic language. This form of conjugation of the Arabic root for 'blessing' (b-r-k) in itself does not exist in the Arabic language. Arabs, or the greater Muslim population for that matter, are also not known to use the name either as a given name nor as a surname. However, the word does exist in Hebrew (ברק) and is a very popular Jewish name. Famous Israelis that have the name include former Israeli Prime Minister [[Ehud Barak|Ehud Barack]], former President of the Supreme Court of Israel [[Aharon Barak|Aharon Barack]], and Israeli soccer players Barack Moses & Barack Yitzhaki. The name is found in the Hebrew Bible, being the name of a military commander who appears in the Book of Judges. The transliteration of a final letter ''Kaph'' as "ck" instead of just "k" is also found in transliterations of Hebrew, not Arabic.<ref>https://lawlinguists.com/name-barack-hussein-obama-means/</ref><ref>https://www.thejc.com/news/world/how-jewish-is-barack-obama-1.3360</ref>

The billionaire [[Pritzker family]] spotted him  early and [[Penny Pritzker|furthered his career]].

It is thus assumed that Barack Obama lied about the origin of his name being Arabic, using the inherent similarities between Hebrew and Arabic, both of which are Semitic languages, to fabricate an alternate, non-Hebrew background for his name.

[[Larry Sinclair]] claimed he had a homosexual affair with Obama in the late 1990s.

His middle name of "Hussein" came from being named after his paternal grandfather, Onyango Obama, who himself changed his name to Hussein Obama after allegedly converting to Islam – the second time he claimed to have converted to a different religion.

He won the 2004 [[United States Senate]] election in [[Illinois]] almost as a walkover after his opponent [[Jack Ryan]] decided to resign after the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' persuaded a court to release records from Ryan's custody case, which included allegations that Ryan had pressured his then-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, to perform sexual acts in public.<ref>https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna5386298</ref>

In the fall of 2012, it is now clear that President Obama survived an attempted [[military coup]]. My sources tell me, that Obama, is fully aware of the fact that key elements of [[US military|the military]] want him gone as the President and, in response, Obama has secretly embedded his [[CIA operatives]] in various military command structures around the world by placing these operatives into executive command positions in order to help them prevent just such a military coup and these embedded forces have indeed served him well in the [[2012 Benghazi attack|aftermath of Benghazi]].</br><br>Often, these embedded operatives serve as the second-in-command. The sole purpose of Obama’s operatives is to keep watch on key military leaders and to prevent them from moving against the policies of the present administration.</br><br>The murder of Ambassador [[Chris Stevens]] and his security detail at Benghazi was a flashpoint for an attempted [[military coup]].  What is interesting about the coup attempt, is that very divergent military forces have joined together to take down Obama’s presidency. At issue was the attempted rescue of Ambassador Stevens by two senior military command officers.

This article is for the person Obama. For what happened during his presidency, see Barack Obama/Presidency

Barack Hussein Obama II is a US deep state functionary, the 44th president of the United States and first black president of the US. For a prominent personality, he has a remarkably unclear prehistory.

Background

Obama's records are spookily well sealed.[1]

Obama's background is unclear and he has sealed his educational records.[2] He transferred from Occidental to Columbia University his junior year in college. His time at Columbia is cloaked in mystery.[3][4][5] Like Obama, Wayne Allyn Root was a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root said of Obama:[6]

"I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding.”

He wrote two articles for TheBlaze in 2013 about the matter,[7][8] in which he quotes longtime Columbia Professor Henry Graff,[9][10] who doesn't recall seeing, or hearing about former President Barack Obama attending Columbia University:

“I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”

A database entry from the National Student Clearinghouse [11] detailed that Obama was not enrolled in the fall of 1981. At the request of WND Clearinghouse looked into the matter and said they found a "computer error"; an entry was originally created but another one later that was not correct - they basically confirmed Obama was attending from 1981 to 1983. More definitive proof was not forthcoming.[12] In an age where the college records of presidential candidates are generally released to the public. Barack Obama stands alone in keeping his college records sealed.

In June of 1981, right after moving to NYC with almost no money, Obama was able to travel to Indonesia and Pakistan despite Pakistan being on the US State Department’s “no travel” list in 1981. In Pakistan, Obama went on a partridge hunting trip with Muhammad Soomro, who went on go on to become acting president of Pakistan in 2008.[13]

Barack Obama's paternal grandfather, Onyango Obama, was a fighter for the King's African Rifles during World War 1.[14] The King's African Rifles were a pro-colonialist group with allegiance to the British Empire, which colonized Kenya at the time. The soldiers of the group, known as askaris, were native inhabitants of Kenya, while the officers were from the British Army. Onyango Obama first converted from his native African religion to be a Protestant Christian during British colonial rule.[15] He then claims that he was imprisoned and tortured by the British for six months for "seeking the independence of Kenya", though no such records of this exist.[16] He then later claimed to have converted to Islam and adopted the name "Hussein", from which Barack Obama received his middle name.[17] Some have suggested that he portrayed himself as being targeted by the British for seeking independence and his public conversion to Islam in order to infiltrate pro-independence and Muslim circles to act as a spy for British intelligence. The pro-colonial lineage of Obama has been left unmentioned by the corporate media, whom often champion his election as a black civil rights victory.

Birth Certificate

The late Loretta Fuddy, who lifted Hawaii's restrictions to allow the White House to present Obama's Birth Certificate to the public

Obama has been the subject of allegations (not backed by the commercially-controlled media) that he was not born in the US, and as such is not eligible to be a US president. Donald Trump has vocally supported the claims of those who doubt Obama's eligibility, stating "This may go down as the greatest con in the history of American politics". On October 24, 2012, Trump offered to donate five million dollars to the charity of Obama's choice in return for the publication of his college and passport applications before October 31, 2012. Obama did not take him up on the offer.[18]

Though the corporate media and conservative politicians have suggested that the birth certificate has been hidden because it will show a birthplace of Kenya, some have theorized that it has been hidden due to Barack Obama really being born in Israel. It’s thus suspected that Obama's political rivals have capitalized on this, knowing that a genuine copy could not be publicly released, and instead propagated an Obama-Kenya-Muslim connection in order to demonize both Obama and Muslims while not negatively effecting Jews and Israel.

Loretta Fuddy, the Hawaii official in the dispute over Barack Obama’s birth certificate who lifted state restrictions to allow the White House to present the document to the public died in a plane crash on December 12th, 2013.[19][20] The other passengers walked away virtually unscathed (according to eyewitness reports) or had only minor injuries.[21]

The White House released a PDF file which it claimed to be a scan of Obama's birth certificate, but doubts have been raised about its authenticity. In March 2014, the Alabama Supreme Court voted 7-2 to render "no opinion."[22][23]

Origin of Name

Barack Obama seems to have a name of Arabic origin. There is no such word as his first name (باراك) in the Arabic language. This form of conjugation of the Arabic root for 'blessing' (b-r-k) in itself does not exist in the Arabic language. Arabs, or the greater Muslim population for that matter, are also not known to use the name either as a given name nor as a surname. However, the word does exist in Hebrew (ברק) and is a very popular Jewish name. Famous Israelis that have the name include former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack, former President of the Supreme Court of Israel Aharon Barack, and Israeli soccer players Barack Moses & Barack Yitzhaki. The name is found in the Hebrew Bible, being the name of a military commander who appears in the Book of Judges. The transliteration of a final letter Kaph as "ck" instead of just "k" is also found in transliterations of Hebrew, not Arabic.[24][25]

Chicago years

The billionaire Pritzker family spotted him early and furthered his career.

Larry Sinclair claimed he had a homosexual affair with Obama in the late 1990s.

He won the 2004 United States Senate election in Illinois almost as a walkover after his opponent Jack Ryan decided to resign after the Chicago Tribune persuaded a court to release records from Ryan's custody case, which included allegations that Ryan had pressured his then-wife, actress Jeri Ryan, to perform sexual acts in public.[26]

Criticism

In January 2014, Florida state House candidate Joshua Black tweeted about Obama: "I'm past impeachment. It's time to arrest and hang him high." Apparently referring to the murder of Anwar al-Awlaki, he stated further: "I think the appropriate punishment is death.... (Obama) shouldn't be allowed to kill Americans without a trial", adding "I make no apologies for saying that the president is not above the People. If ordinary Americans should be executed for treason, so should he."[27]

Nobel Peace Prize

Obama kill lists.jpg

Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[28] Obama accepted this award in Oslo, Norway on December 10, 2009, with "deep gratitude and great humility",[29] just after escalation of the U.S. war in Afghanistan[30]

Later Activities

In 2017, Obama was reported to have secured a $400,000 fee for a single keynote speech with Cantor Fitzgerald.[31]

The Court of Appeals struck down an initial agreement, and the US Supreme Court concurred, arguing that the plaintiffs could not prove they would be affected by the law, so had no standing to contest it.
