Axelrod: Chamber of Commerce turned off credit card verification on its web site and allowed money-laundering through prepaid cash cards

David Axelrod would make a wonderful satirist. Long after most folks had forgotten about the hundreds of millions of dollars reportedly raised by the Obama campaign from suspicious sources, the White House senior adviser demanded that the United States Chamber of Commerce prove a negative.

Axelrod: Chamber must prove foreign money allegations false:

White House senior adviser David Axelrod said the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has the burden of proving false the charge by Democrats that the business group is funneling foreign money to Republican campaigns... President Obama and Democrats have attacked the Chamber and outside conservative groups... [asserting] that foreign-based individuals or corporations could funnel money through those groups to influence the election. The Chamber has denied being involved in such practices.

So Axelrod wants the Chamber to prove a negative. Well I demand that Axelrod prove that he isn't George Soros' illegitimate child.

Say, that reminds me: did you remember that, of the $744 million Obama raised for his presidential campaign, only $485 million could be accounted for?

Obama's campaign website intentionally turned off all credit-card security, an unprecedented step that allowed fake names and addresses for donations. The website intentionally allowed this to occur.

And Obama's contribution website accepted made-up credit-card numbers, which were probably tried one after another until valid card numbers were found. Obama's 2008 fundraising website intentionally allowed this to occur.

The Obama website also retained forged computer addresses for its donations instead of the addresses of the real donors.

The Obama website accepted untraceable prepaid cash cards that could easily have been used to evade contribution limits, mask contributor identities or launder foreign contributions.

And the Obama campaign secretly shared donor lists with Project Vote and ACORN, the latter a group reportedly under a RICO investigation for multi-state vote fraud involving hundreds of thousands of fraudulent registrations and other misdeeds.

The Obama website permitted hundreds of millions of dollars in undisclosed, suspect donations reportedly orchestrated by foreign nationals and other persons unknown.

Roughly two-thirds of Barack Obama’s record haul derived from a website that intentionally disabled all security checks that prevent basic fraud. In other words, his website facilitated crooked donations complete with fake names, phony addresses, no donation limits, untraceable cards and bogus computer addresses.

Let me repeat that last point. The Obama campaign's website intentionally allowed the use of fake computer addresses (IP addresses). In my opinion, there is only one reason a website would allow the submission of a fake IP address: money-laundering. Logging the true IP address would mean that the real source (including the city and country) of the contribution could be traced. Allowing a fake address to be logged instead would prevent authorities from ascertaining the true origin of the donation.

Should the GOP take one of the houses of Congress, a first order of business should be the subpoena of David Axelrod, the executives of Blue State Digital (the company that created the Obama website) and others obfuscating the sources of contributions.

Thanks for reminding us, Ax.
