How To (Really) Blackmail and Bribe A President, Obama Edition

Obama got wealthy by selling out America.

Talk about product placement.

Talk about a family resemblance.

Barack Obama wanted all mentions of Frank Marshall Davis removed from the audio version of his book

I had agonized over the years about how exactly to write this piece about the post-presidential corruption of Barack Obama.

So let me be clear, to borrow a phrase from the 44th president.

1. Obama was blackmailed. Because he lied about who he was. So they could make him corrupt during and after his presidency.

2. The same people are trying to blackmail Joe Biden, but it’s a failure. Why? Because they’re going after events that already happened - and they’re going at the President’s son, not the President. It’s not just a dick move - it doesn’t work. And the whole edifice needs to be exposed. Especially the Israeli part. The Israelis know how to blackmail presidents. Or used to. They did well with Obama. And “f***ed up with a Biden.”

No one fucks with a Biden.

There’s so much to be written about as concerns Obama, especially the way in which details about his past were leveraged over him when he was making big decisions on tech and foreign policy.

Obama’s two books were largely works of fiction. For example he claimed that his step-grandfather had died fighting the Dutch in Indonesia — he died while hanging the drapes.

But how much of Obama’s entire life was fictionalized? Covert Action Magazine, which is a kind of front for the Russians, went into quite a lot of detail about Obama’s family ties to the CIA in their piece “A Company Family: The Untold History of Obama and the CIA.”

Each of us has secrets — things about ourselves that we’d like never to get out — and that we’d do anything to keep from the wider public. And yes, that includes presidents, maybe most especially those young presidents whose biography never quite seems to make sense.

For Obama, we know the two things he was worried about getting out by looking closely at what he requested deleted from David Garrow’s 2017 book, Rising Star: The Making of Obama which helpfully came out after Obama left the White House.

Garrow, who I met last year in his home in Pittsburgh, told me that Obama agreed to be interviewed provided that Garrow give him some measure of editorial control. For our part Garrow and I had become friendly — if not friends — after he wrote up a piece on my purchase of a copy of Dreams From My Father that Malik Obama had had ever since Barack Obama came to visit him in Kenya.

Here’s a selection from that article.

By June 2016 Malik’s copy of Barack’s hand-annotated Dreams typescript had been purchased for $7,500 by conservative journalist Charles C. “Chuck” Johnson, who hoped that it might somehow advance the far-loony claim that Dreams had been secretly ghostwritten by former student radical Bill Ayers, a Chicago neighbour whom Barack was just beginning to befriend when Dreams was first published.

In months to come a video copy of Auma Obama’s 19-minute 1993 home movie, A Journey in Black and White, filmed during Barack and Michelle’s 1991 visit to Kenya, made its way onto YouTube thanks to a far-right British conspiracy theorist, Paul Joseph Watson. Eventually Malik would even sell one of his father’s Kenyan passports to Chuck Johnson. Covering the period from September 1964 until February 1972, all of the visas, entry and exit stamps in Obama Sr’s passport match up 100 per cent with the known facts of his life and travels, thus offering no fodder to the birther community.

When Johnson first announced his acquisition of Malik’s copy of the early Dreams typescript in late June 2016, no one in mainstream journalism took any notice, but by 13 July a 566-page PDF of Johnson’s acquisition was visible via Johnson’s now-defunct GotNews website and by 20 July via a now-long-inactive Norwegian language WordPress blog. Johnson’s PDF, adorned with several dozen yellow sticky notes of indeterminate origin, unfortunately was 14 pages short of a complete copy, with five gaps of one or more pages readily apparent to anyone who made the effort to download and examine it closely.

But apparently no one did, and Johnson’s costly acquisition quietly gathered web-dust until in July 2019 Johnson took the initiative to bring it to the attention of this duly-embarrassed Obama biographer, who had given up paying even a modicum of attention to Ayers- and Davis-obsessed conspiracy theorists well before summer 2016.

Now it’s rather unfortunate that Garrow decided to claim that I was a birther especially after he writes that the Barack Obama passport I purchased from Malik Obama lines up with the known travel of Barack Obama (the Kenyan).

Nor was I terribly interested in the question of who wrote Dreams From My Father. No, I gave Garrow a copy of the book simply because I was interested in hearing his take on it.

Now overtime I did suspect that I was being used by Likud networks to research Barack Obama’s past as a way of influencing the present. Joel Gilbert, who is very close to a number of pro-Bibi oligarchs, was interested. (We had a falling out when I became a lot more Israel-skeptic.)

But that doesn’t mean that Joel was wrong about Barack Obama’s father being Frank Marshall Davis.

There are two things that Obama asked removed from Garrow’s book — any mention of sexuality and any mention of Frank Marshall Davis.

Garrow even helpfully produced the part of the book that involved Obama's sexuality which I reproduced below.

Could it be because Obama knew that those two things would undermine his legacy?

This has gnawed at me a lot in recent years. Was Obama being blackmailed?

Why didn’t the first black president want to be genetically sequenced? After all, there’s a concerted push by the Biden presidency to make genomics more representative. Surely Obama could help.

Didn’t Obama have a beer summit with Henry Louis “Skip” Gates Jr.? They could have just swabbed those glasses!

Skip Gates has probed the genetics of many famous people. Why not the Obamas? Surely Obama could have gotten genetically sequenced when he met with the very compromised company Illumina… Why didn’t he? How long do you think the secret will keep? Will Sasha and Malia (and any children they might have) avoid genetic sequencing all of their lives?

Could it have been that Barack Obama was a construct? That his origin story isn’t true?

Could that be why Garrow removed this bit about Frank Marshall Davis? I emailed him to ask.

In our partisan food fight that conversation about corruption is difficult to have. There’s a lot of things we aren’t allowed to talk about that we’re going to start talking about — groups that were previously untouchable are now the subject of major reporting and investigation. This is as it should be.

We are in a major global macroeconomic shift. There will be winners and losers. There already are. Some of those losers are nation states or networks.

Does anyone really think Xi or Putin will have normal retirements? And what about Bibi? Do you think he’ll take Benny Ganz’s offer of a plea deal? It’s hard to imagine it but in the Middle East lots of things that were unimaginable are being imagined.

Events have a way of humiliating even the most carefully planned of operations.

Rep. James Comer of Oversight keeps referring to a “whistleblower” on Hunter Biden but turns out that - now get this - is just some obvious Israeli spy. Almost like the Israelis are the masters of blackmailing presidents! But damn, are they slipping…

The “whistleblower” is Gal Luft and Comer’s informant suddenly disappeared. Where did he disappear to? He disappeared to Israel, of course. Israeli-Australian spy and Laptop From Hell author Miranda Devine merely states that Luft is in an “undisclosed location.”

The purpose here is to smear Joe Biden and his family before the 2024 election with allegations and insinuations of corruption so as to distract from other claims of corruption involving Donald J. Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

My critique of the the Hunter Biden Laptop story is as follows:

You don’t bribe presidents before they are in office. You bribe them during the time they are in office and especially after they’ve left office.

You do it the Obama way. Oh, did you think he got that Netflix deal on merit?

The Clintons are fabulous liars. That was the view of David Geffen. Geffen, the gay Hollywood mogul, had a lot of ties to Israeli intelligence. Could it be that Geffen ran Obama?

Obama was a narcissist and so his flatterers got his attention. And they compromised him rather easily.

One of my favorite things to do is talk to black Americans about the real Barack Obama. Obama asked Garrow to remove this bit about how “makes love to men in his mind.”

Obama wrote this: “You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination. My mind is androgynous to a great extent and I hope to make it more so.”

And that material was removed from the Garrow book.

We know that Obama lived with gay men. How can we account for it?

Remember when David Carr — that drug addict — made fun of me for calling Obama gay? When I reported what people were saying about him in Chicago? I do!

I wasn’t alone in calling Obama gay although other people did it with a bit more subtly. No less an authority than Bill Clinton claimed that Obama’s origin story was a “fairy tale.” Did Clinton intend the double entendre?

Now if you don’t try to fix this problem, you’ll get compromised presidents and compromised companies…

This is how you blackmail a president.

Or maybe you lie about his remaining son.

But what if the op fails because the father and son has set a trap for you?

That’s where we are now.
