Bombshell: Barack Obama outed as CIA creation

Special Report. The Story of Obama: All in The Company (In Three Parts)
Opinion Maker | August 19, 2010
Wayne Madsen
Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen has
discovered CIA files that document the agency’s connections to
institutions and individuals figuring prominently in the lives of Barack
Obama and his mother, father, grandmother, and stepfather. The first
part of his report highlights the connections between Barack Obama, Sr.
and the CIA-sponsored operations in Kenya to counter rising Soviet and
Chinese influence among student circles and, beyond, to create
conditions obstructing the emergence of independent African leaders.

From 1983-84, Barack Obama worked as Editor at Business Internation Corporation, a Business International Corporation, a known CIA front company.

President Obama’s own work in 1983 for Business
International Corporation, a CIA front that conducted seminars with the
world’s most powerful leaders and used journalists as agents abroad,
dovetails with CIA espionage activities conducted by his mother, Stanley
Ann Dunham in 1960s post-coup Indonesia on behalf of a number of CIA
front operations, including the East-West Center at the University of
Hawaii, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the
Ford Foundation. Dunham met and married Lolo Soetoro, Obama’s
stepfather, at the East-West Center in 1965. Soetoro was recalled to
Indonesia in 1965 to serve as a senior army officer and assist General
Suharto and the CIA in the bloody overthrow of President Sukarno.
Barack Obama, Sr., who met Dunham in 1959 in a Russian
language class at the University of Hawaii, had been part of what was
described as an airlift of 280 East African students to the United
States to attend various colleges — merely “aided” by a grant from the
Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation, according to a September 12, 1960, Reuters report from London. The airlift was a CIA operation to train and
indoctrinate future agents of influence in Africa, which was becoming a
battleground between the United States and the Soviet Union and China
for influence among newly-independent and soon-to-be independent
countries on the continent.
The airlift was condemned by the deputy leader of the
opposition Kenyan African Democratic Union (KADU) as favoring certain
tribes — the majority Kikuyus and minority Luos — over other tribes to
favor the Kenyan African National Union (KANU), whose leader was Tom
Mboya, the Kenyan nationalist and labor leader who selected Obama, Sr.
for a scholarship at the University of Hawaii. Obama, Sr., who was
already married with an infant son and pregnant wife in Kenya, married
Dunham on Maui on February 2, 1961 and was also the university’s first
African student. Dunham was three month’s pregnant with Barack Obama,
Jr. at the time of her marriage to Obama, Sr.

The CIA allegedly recruited Tom M’Boya in a heavily funded “selective liberation” programme to isolate Kenya’s founding President Jomo Kenyatta, who the American spy agency labelled as “unsafe.

KADU deputy leader Masinda Muliro, according to Reuters,
said KADU would send a delegation to the United States to investigate
Kenyan students who received “gifts” from the Americans and “ensure that
further gifts to Kenyan students are administered by people genuinely
interested in Kenya’s development.’”
Mboya received a $100,000 grant for the airlift from the
Kennedy Foundation after he turned down the same offer from the U.S.
State Department, obviously concerned that direct U.S. assistance would
look suspicious to pro-Communist Kenyan politicians who suspected Mboya
of having CIA ties. The Airlift Africa project was underwritten by the
Kennedy Foundation and the African-American Students Foundation. Obama,
Sr. was not on the first airlift but a subsequent one. The airlift,
organized by Mboya in 1959, included students from Kenya, Uganda,
Tanganyika, Zanzibar, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, and
Nyasaland.
Reuters also reported that Muliro charged that
Africans were “disturbed and embittered” by the airlift of the selected
students. Muliro “stated that “preferences were shown to two major
tribes [Kikuyu and Luo] and many U.S.-bound students had failed
preliminary and common entrance examinations, while some of those left
behind held first-class certificates.”

Obama, Sr. was a friend of Mboya and a fellow Luo.
After Mboya was assassinated in 1969, Obama, Sr. testified at the trial
of his alleged assassin. Obama, Sr. claimed he was the target of a
hit-and-run assassination attempt after his testimony.

CIA-airlifted to Hawaii, Barack Obama Sr., with leis, stands with Stanley Dunham, President Obama’s grandfather, on his right.

Obama, Sr., who left Hawaii for Harvard in 1962,
divorced Dunham in 1964. Obama, Sr. married a fellow Harvard student,
Ruth Niedesand, a Jewish-American woman, who moved with him to Kenya and
had two sons. They were later divorced. Obama, Sr. worked for the
Kenyan Finance and Transport ministries as well as an oil firm. Obama,
Sr. died in a 1982 car crash and his funeral was attended by leading
Kenyan politicians, including future Foreign Minister Robert Ouko, who
was murdered in 1990.
CIA files indicate that Mboya was an important
agent-of-influence for the CIA, not only in Kenya but in all of Africa. A
formerly Secret CIA Current Intelligence Weekly Summary, dated
November 19, 1959, states that Mboya served as a check on extremists at
the second All-African People’s Conference (AAPC) in Tunis. The report
states that “serious friction developed between Ghana’s Prime Minister
Kwame Nkrumah and Kenyan nationalist Tom Mboya who cooperated effectively last December to check extremists at the AAPC’s first meeting in
Accra.” The term “cooperated effectively” appears to indicate that Mboya
was cooperating with the CIA, which filed the report from field
operatives in Accra and Tunis. While “cooperating” with the CIA in Accra
and Tunis, Mboya selected the father of the president of the United
States to receive a scholarship and be airlifted to the University of
Hawaii where he met and married President Obama’s mother.
An earlier CIA Current Intelligence Weekly Summary,
secret, and dated April 3, 1958, states that Mboya “still appears to be
the most promising of the African leaders.” Another CIA weekly summary,
secret and dated December 18, 1958, calls Mboya the Kenyan nationalist
an “able and dynamic young chairman” of the People’s Convention party
who was viewed as an opponent of “extremists” like Nkrumah, supported by
“Sino-Soviet representatives.”
In a formerly Secret CIA report on the All-Africa
Peoples Conference in 1961, dated November 1, 1961, Mboya’s
conservatism, along with that of Taleb Slim of Tunisia, are contrasted
to the leftist policies of Nkrumah and others. Pro-communists who were
elected to the AAPC’s steering committee at the March 1961 Cairo
conference, attended by Mboya, are identified in the report as Abdoulaye
Diallo, AAPC Secretary General, of Senegal; Ahmed Bourmendjel of
Algeria; Mario de Andrade of Angola; Ntau Mokhele of Basutoland; Kingue
Abel of Cameroun; Antoine Kiwewa of Congo (Leopoldville); Kojo Botsio of
Ghana; Ismail Toure of Guinea; T. O. Dosomu Johnson of Liberia; Modibo
Diallo of Mali; Mahjoub Ben Seddik of Morocco; Djibo Bakari of Niger;
Tunji Otegbeya of Nigeria; Kanyama Chiume of Nyasaland; Ali Abdullahi of
Somalia; Tennyson Makiwane of South Africa, and Mohamed Fouad Galal of
the United Arab Republic.
The only attendees in Cairo who were given a clean bill
of health by the CIA were Mboya, who appears to have been a snitch for
the agency, and Joshua Nkomo of Southern Rhodesia, B. Munanka of
Tanganyika, Abdel Magid Shaker of Tunisia, and John Kakonge of Uganda.
Nkrumah would eventually be overthrown in a 1966
CIA-backed coup while he was on a state visit to China and North
Vietnam. The CIA overthrow of Nkrumah followed by one year the agency’s
overthrow of Sukarno, another coup that was connected to President
Obama’s family on his mother’s side. There are suspicions that Mboya was
assassinated in 1969 by Chinese agents working with anti-Mboya factions
in the government of Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta in order to
eliminate a pro-U.S. leading political leader in Africa. Upon Mboya’s
death, every embassy in Nairobi flew its flag at half-mast except for
one, the embassy of the People’s Republic of China.

Jomo Kenyatta, first President of Kenya.

Mboya’s influence in the Kenyatta government would continue
long after his death and while Obama, Sr. was still alive. In 1975,
after the assassination of KANU politician Josiah Kariuki, a socialist
who helped start KANU, along with Mboya and Obama, Sr., Kenyatta
dismissed three rebellious cabinet ministers who “all had personal ties
to either Kariuki or Tom Mboya.” This information is contained in CIA
Staff Notes on the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, formerly Top
Secret Umbra, Handle via COMINT Channels, dated June 24, 1975.
The intelligence in the report, based on its classification, indicate
the information was derived from National Security Agency intercepts in
Kenya. No one was ever charged in the assassination of Kariuki.
The intecepts of Mboya’s and Kariuki’s associates are an
indication that the NSA and CIA also maintain intercepts on Barack
Obama, Sr., who, as a non-U.S. person, would have been lawfully subject
at the time to intercepts carried out by NSA and Britain’s Government
Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).

Special Report. The Story of Obama: All in The Company – Part II
In Part I of this WMR special report, we revealed the
connections between Barack Obama, Sr. and the CIA-affiliated Airlift
Africa project to provide college degrees to and gain influence over a
group of 280 eastern and southern African students from soon-to-be
independent African nations to counter similar programs established by
the Soviet Union and China. Barack Obama Sr. was the first African
student to attend the University of Hawaii. Obama Sr. and Obama’s mother
Stanley Ann Dunham met in a Russian language class in 1959 and they
married in 1961.
The African airlift program was administered by Kenyan
nationalist leader Tom Mboya, a fellow Luo tribe mentor and friend of
the senior Obama. According to CIA documents described in Part I, Mboya
also served the CIA in ensuring that pro-Soviet and pro-Chinese African
nationalists were stymied in their attempt to dominate pan-African
nationalist political, student, and labor movements.
One of Mboya’s chief opponents was Ghana’s first
president, Kwame Nkrumah, who was ousted in a CIA-inspired coup in 1966,
one year before to Obama Sr’s son, Barack Obama, Jr. and his mother
joined Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian who Obama’s mother met at the
University of Hawaii in 1965, when President Obama was four years old.
In 1967, Obama and his mother joined her husband in
Jakarta. In 1965, Lolo Soetoro had been called back from Hawaii by
General Suharto to serve as an officer in the Indonesian military to
help launch a bloody CIA-backed genocide of Indonesian Communists and
Indonesian Chinese throughout the expansive country. Suharto
consolidated his power in 1966, the same year that Barack Obama, Sr.’s
friend, Mboya, had helped to rally pro-U.S. pan-African support for the
CIA’s overthrow of Nkrumah in Ghana in 1966.
East-West Center, University of Hawaii, and CIA coup against Sukarno
Ann Dunham met Soetoro at the East-West Center at the
University of Hawaii. The center had long been affiliated with CIA
activities in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1965, the year that Dunham met
and married Soetoro, the center saw a new chancellor take over. He was
Howard P. Jones who served a record seven years, from 1958 to 1965, as
U.S. ambassador to Indonesia. Jones was present in Jakarta as Suharto
and his CIA-backed military officers planned the 1965 overthrow of
Sukarno, who was seen, along with the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI),
as allies of China.

When Jones was chancellor of the East-West Center, he
wrote an article for the Washington Post, dated October 10, 1965, in
which he defended Suharto’s overthrow of Sukarno. Jones was “invited” by
the Post to comment on the Suharto coup, described as a “counter-coup”
against the Communists. Jones charged that Suharto was merely responding
to an earlier attempted Communist-led coup against Sukarno launched by
Lt. Col. Untung, “a relatively unknown battalion commander in the palace
guard.”

Jones’s article, which mirrored CIA situation reports
from the U.S. embassy in Jakarta, continued by stating that the alleged
leftist coup on September 30 ”came within an inch of succeeding through
the assassination of six of the top military command. It might well have
succeeded had not Defense Minister Nasution and a number of other
senior generals also maked for assassination acted fast in a dramatic
counter-coup.” Of course, what Jones did not inform the Post’s readers
was that the Suharto “counter-coup” had been assisted with the strong
help of the CIA.

Sukarno never blamed the Communists for the
assassination of the army generals nor did the Indonesian Cabinet, where
the second= and third-ranking leaders of the PKI were present. The
possibility that the assassination of the generals was a CIA/Suharto
“false flag” operation to affix blame on the PKI cannot be ruled out.
Two days after Suharto’s coup, a CIA “rent-a-mob” burned down the PKI
headquarters in Jakarta. As they marched past the U.S. Embassy, which
was also the site of the CIA station, they yelled out, “Long live
America!”

Untung later said that when he became aware that Suharto
and the CIA were planning a coup on October 5, 1965 – Indonesian Armed
Forces Day – forces loyal to him and Sukarno moved first. Jones
described this as “typical Communist propaganda.” Suharto moved against
Sukarno on October 1. Jones iterated that “there was not an iota of
truth . . . in the accusation that the CIA was working against Sukarno.”
History has proven otherwise. Jones accused the Communists of taking
advantage of Sukarno’s failing health to beat out the other candidates
to succeed him. The goal, according to Jones, was to have PKI boss D.N.
Aidit succeed Sukarno. Sukarno did not die until 1970, while under house
arrest.

A CIA paper, formerly classified Secret and undated,
states “Sukarno would like to return to the status quo ante-coup. He has
refused to condemn the PKI or the 30th September Movement [of Lt. Col.
Untung]; instead, he calls for unity of Indonesia and asks that no
vengeance be taken by one group against the other. But, he has not
succeeded in forcing the Army to abandon its anti-PKI activities and, on
the other hand, he has bowed to their demand by appointing its single
candidate General Suharto as head of the Army.” Suharto and Barry Obama
Soetoro’s step-father Lolo Soetoro would ignore Sukarno’s call for no
vengeance, as hundreds of thousands of Indonesians would soon discover.

The mass murder by Suharto of Indonesian Chinese is seen
in the CIA paper’s description of the Baperki Party: “the leftist
Baperki Party, with its major strength in rural areas, is largely
Chinese-Indonesian in membership.” A CIA Intelligence Memorandum, dated
October 6, 1966 and formerly classified Secret, shows the extent of the
CIA’s monitoring of the anti-Sukarno coup from various CIA agents
assigned as liaisons to Suharto’s army units surrounding the
Presidential Palace in Bogor and at various diplomatic posts around the
country, including the U.S. Consulate in Medan, which was keeping track
of leftists in that Sumatran city and, which, in an October 2, 1965,
Intelligence Memo, reported to the CIA that the “Soviet consul-general
in Medan has a plane standing by that could be used for evacuation of
Soviet citizens from Sumatra.” The October 6 memo also warns against
allowing Untung from developing a following in Central Java.

A CIA formerly Secret “Weekly Summary Special Report” on Indonesia, dated August 11, 1967, and titled “The New Order in Indonesia,” reports that in 1966, Indonesia re-aligned its economy in order to
receive International Monetary Fund (IMF) assistance. The CIA reports
its is happy with the new triumvirate ruling Indonesia in 1967: Suharto,
Foreign Minister Adam Malik, and the Sultan of Jogjakarta, who served
as minister for economics and finance. The report also rejoices in the
outlawing of the PKI, but states it “retains a significant following in
East and Central Java,” where Ann Dunham Soetoro would largely
concentrate her later efforts on behalf of USAID, the World Bank, and
the Ford Foundation, all front activities for the CIA to “win the hearts
and minds” of the Javanese farmers and artisans.

A CIA Intelligence Memorandum, formerly Secret and dated
July 23, 1966, clearly sees the Muslim Nahdatul Ulama party {NU), the
largest party in Indonesia and Muslim, as a natural ally of the United
States and the Suharto regime. The report states that helped Suharto put
down the Communists in the post-coup time frame, especially where the
NU was strongest: East Java, where Obama’s mother would concentrate her
activities, and North Sumatra and parts of Borneo. An April 29, 1966,
formerly Secret CIA Intelligence Memorandum on the PKI states: “Moslem
extremists in many instances outdid the army in hunting down and
murdering members of the party [PKI] and its front groups.”

Dunham and Barry Soetoro in Jakarta and USAID front activities

Dunham dropped out of the University of Hawaii in 1960
while pregnant with Barack Obama. Barack Obama Sr. left Hawaii in 1962
to study at Harvard. Dunham and Obama divorced in 1964. In the fall of
1961, Dunham enrolled at the University of Washington while caring for
her infant son. Dunham was re-enrolled at the University of Hawaii from
1963 to 1966. Lolo Soetoro, who Dunham married in March 1965, departed
Hawaii for Indonesia on July 20, 1965, some three months prior to the
CIA’s coup against Sukarno. Soetoro, who served Suharto as an Army
colonel, was clearly called back from the CIA-connected East-West Center
to assist in the coup against Sukarno, one that would eventually cost
the lives of some one million Indonesian citizens. It is a history that
President Obama would like the press to ignore, which it certainly did
during the 2008 primary and general election.

In 1967, after arriving in Indonesia with Obama, Jr.,
Dunham began teaching English at the American embassy in Jakarta, which
also housed one of the largest CIA stations in Asia and had significant
satellite stations in Surabaya in eastern Java and Medan on Sumatra.
Jones left as East-West Center chancellor in 1968.

In fact, Obama’s mother was teaching English for the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which was a major
cover for CIA activities in Indonesia and throughout Southeast Asia,
especially in Laos, South Vietnam, and Thailand. The USAID program was
known as Lembaga Pendidikan Pembinaan Manajemen. Obama’s mother, painted
as a free spirit and a “sixties child” by President Obama and people
who claimed they knew her in Hawaii and Indonesia, had a curriculum
vitae in Indonesia that contradicts the perception that Ann Dunham
Soetoro was a “hippy.”

Dunham Soetoro’s Russian language training at the
University of Hawaii may have been useful to the CIA in Indonesia. An
August 2, 1966, formerly Secret memorandum from the National Security
Council’s Executive Secretary Bromley Smith states that, in addition to
Japan, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and the
Philippines, the Suharto coup was welcomed by the Soviet Union and its
Eastern European allies because its created a non-aligned Indonesia that
“represents an Asian counterweight to Communist China.” Records
indicate that a number of CIA agents posted in Jakarta before and after
the 1965 coup were, like Dunham Soetoro, conversant in Russian.

Dunham Soetoro worked for the elitist Ford Foundation,
World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Bank Rakyat (the majority
government-owned People’s Bank of Indonesia), and the CIA-linked USAID
while she lived in Indonesia and later, Pakistan.

USAID was involved in a number of CIA covert operations
in Southeast Asia. The February 9, 1971, Washington Star reported that
USAID officials in Laos were aware that rice supplied to the Laotian
Army by USAID was being re-sold to North Vietnamese army divisions in
the country. The report stated that the U.S. tolerated the USAID rice
sales to the North Vietnamese since the Laotian Army units that sold the
rice found themselves protected from Communist Pathet Lao and North
Vietnamese attack. USAID and the CIA also used the supply of rice to
force Laotian Meo tribesmen to support the United States in the war
against the Communists. USAID funds programmed for civilians injured in
the war in Laos and public health care were actually diverted for
military purposes.

In 1971, the USAID-funded Center for Vietnamese Studies
at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale was accused of being a CIA
front. USAID-funded projects through the Midwest Universities
Consortium for International Activities (MUCIA) — comprising the
Universities of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana and Michigan
State — were accused of being CIA front projects, including those for
“agricultural education” in Indonesia, as well as other “projects” in
Afghanistan, Mali, Nepal, Nigeria, Thailand, and South Vietnam. The
charge was made in 1971, the same year that Ann Dunham was working for
USAID in the country.

In a July 10, 1971, New York Times report, USAID and the
CIA were accused of “losing” $1.7 billion appropriated for the Civil
Operations and Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS) program in
South Vietnam. CORDS was part of the CIA’s Operation Phoenix program,
which involved CIA assassination and torture of South Vietnamese village
elders and Buddhist clerics. USAID money was also directed to the CIA’s
proprietary airline in Southeast Asia, Air America. In Thailand, USAID
funds for the Accelerated Rural Development Program in Thailand were
actually masking a CIA anti-Communist counter-insurgency operation.
USAID funds programmed for public works projects in East Pakistan in
1971 were used for East Pakistan’s military fortifications on its border
with India, in the months before the outbreak of war with India, in
contravention of U.S. law that prohibited USAID money for military
purposes.

In 1972, USAID administrator Dr. John Hannah admitted to
Metromedia News that USAID was being used as a cover for CIA covert
operations in Laos. Hannah only admitted to Laos as a USAID cover for
the CIA. However, it was also reported that USAID was being used by the
CIA in Indonesia, Philippines, South Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea.
USAID projects in Southeast Asia had to be approved by the Southeast
Asian Development Advisory Group (SEADAG), an Asia Society group that
was, in fact, answerable to the CIA.

The U.S. Food for Peace program, jointly administered by
USAID and the Department of Agriculture, was found in 1972 to be used
for military purposes in Cambodia, South Korea, Turkey, South Vietnam,
Spain, Taiwan, and Greece. In 1972, USAID funneled aid money only to the
southern part of North Yemen, in order to aid North Yemeni forces
against the government of South Yemen, then ruled by a socialist
government opposed to U.S. hegemony in the region.

One of the entities affiliated with the USAID work in
Indonesia was the Asia Foundation, a 1950s creation formed with the help
of the CIA to oppose the expansion of communism in Asia. The East-West
Center guest house in Hawaii was funded by the Asia Foundation. The
guest house is also where Barack Obama Sr. first stayed after his
airlift from Kenya to Hawaii, arranged by the one of the CIA’s major
agents of influence in Africa, Mboya.

Dunham would also travel to Ghana, Nepal, Bangladesh,
India, and Thailand working on micro-financing projects. In 1965, Barack
Obama Sr. returned to Kenya from Harvard, with another American wife.
The senior Obama linked up with his old friend and the CIA’s “golden
boy” Mboya and other fellow Luo politicians. The CIA station chief in
Nairobi from 1964 to 1967 was Philip Cherry. In 1975, Cherry was the CIA
station chief in Dacca, Bangladesh. Cherry was linked by the then-U.S.
ambassador to Bangladesh, Eugene Booster, to the 1975 assassination of
Bangladesh’s first president, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, and members of his
family.

The hit on “Sheikh Mujib” and his family was reportedly
ordered by then-Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Bangladesh was also
on the micro- and macro-financing travel itinerary of CIA-linked Ann
Dunham.


CIA banking and Hawaii

Meanwhile, Dunham Soetoro’s mother, Madelyn Dunham, who
raised young Obama when he returned to Hawaii in 1971 while his mother
stayed in Indonesia, was the first female vice president at the Bank of
Hawaii in Honolulu. Various CIA front entities used the bank. Madelyn
Dunham handled escrow accounts used to make CIA payments to
U.S.-supported Asian dictators like Philippines President Ferdinand
Marcos, South Vietnamese President Nguyen van Thieu, and President
Suharto in Indonesia. In effect, the bank was engaged in money
laundering for the CIA to covertly prop up its favored leaders in the
Asia-Pacific region.

One of the CIA’s major money laundering fronts in
Honolulu was the firm of Bishop, Baldwin, Rewald, Dillingham & Wong
(BBRDW). After the CIA allowed the firm to collapse in 1983 amid
charges that BBRDW was merely a Ponzi scheme, Senator Daniel Inouye of
the US Senate Intelligence Committee said the CIA’s role in the firm
“wasn’t significant.” It would later be revealed that Inouye, who was
one of the late Alaska Senator Ted Stevens’s best friends in the Senate,
was lying. In fact, BBRDW was involved heavily in funding covert CIA
programs throughout Asia, including economic espionage against Japan,
providing arms for Afghan mujaheddin guerrillas in their war against the
Soviets and covertly supplying weapons to Taiwan. One of BBRDW’s
principals was John C. “Jack” Kindschi, who, before he retired in 1981,
was the CIA station chief in Honolulu. BBRDW’s chairman Ron Rewald had a
counterfeit college degree certificate provided for the wall of his
office by the CIA’s forgery experts and his name was inserted in
university records as an alumnus.

A false history for BBRDW was concocted by the CIA
claiming the firm had operated in Hawaii since it was a territory.
President Obama is currently plagued by allegations that he has fake
college and university transcripts, a phony social security number
issued in Connecticut, and other padded resume items. Did Hawaii’s fake
BBRDW documents portend today’s questions about Obama’s past?

BBRDW conducted its business in the heart of Honolulu’s
business district, where the Bank of Hawaii was located and where Obama
grandmother Madelyn Dunham ran the escrow accounts. The bank would
handle much of BBRDW’s covert financial transactions.

Obama/Soetoro and the “years of living dangerously” in Jakarta

It is clear that Dunham Soetoro and her Indonesian
husband, President Obama’s step-father, were closely involved in the
CIA’s operations to steer Indonesia away from the Sino-Soviet orbit
during the “years of living dangerously” after the overthrow of Sukarno.
WMR has discovered that some of the CIA’s top case officers were
assigned to various official and non-official cover assignments in
Indonesia during this time frame, including under the cover of USAID,
the Peace Corps, and the U.S. Information Agency (USIA).

One of the closest CIA contacts for Suharto was former
CIA Jakarta embassy officer Kent B. Crane. Crane was so close to Suharto
after “retiring” from the CIA, he was reportedly one of the only
“private” businessmen given an Indonesian diplomatic passport by
Suharto’s government. Crane’s company, the Crane Group, was involved in
supplying small arms to the military forces of the United States,
Indonesia, and other nations. A foreign policy adviser to Vice President
Spiro Agnew, Crane was later nominated as U.S. ambassador to Indonesia
by President Ronald Reagan but the nomination was dead-on-arrival
because of Crane’s dubious links to Suharto. The ambassadorship would
instead go to John Holdridge, a close colleague of Kissinger. Holdridge
was succeeded in Jakarta by Paul Wolfowitz.

Suharto’s cronies, who included Mochtar and James Riady
of the Lippo Group, would later stand accused of funneling over $1
million of illegal foreign contributions to Bill Clinton’s 1992
presidential campaign.

President Obama has twice postponed official state
visits to Indonesia, perhaps fearful of the attention such a trip would
bring to the CIA connections of his mother and Indonesian step-father.

In the 1970s and 80s, Dunham was active in micro-loan
projects for the Ford Foundation, the CIA-linked East-West Center, and
USAID in Indonesia. One of the individuals assigned to the U.S. embassy
and helped barricade the compound during a violent anti-U.S. student
demonstration during the 1965 Suharto coup against Sukarno was Dr.
Gordon Donald, Jr. Assigned to the embassy’s Economic Section, Donald
was responsible for USAID micro-financing for Indonesian farmers, the
same project that Dunham Soetoro would work on for USAID in the 1970s,
after her USAID job of teaching English in Indonesia. In a 1968 book,
“Who’s Who in the CIA,” published in West Berlin, Donald is identified
as a CIA officer who was also assigned to Lahore, Pakistan, where Dunham
would eventually live for five years in the Hilton International Hotel
while working on microfinancing for the Asian Development Bank.

Another “Who’s Who in the CIA” Jakarta alumnus is Robert
F. Grealy, who later became the director for international relations
for the Asia-Pacific for J P Morgan Chase and a director for the
American-Indonesian Chamber of Commerce. J P Morgan Chase’s CEO Jamie
Dimon is being mentioned as a potential replacement for Treasury
Secretary Timothy Geithner, whose father, Peter Geithner, was the Ford
Foundation’s Asia grant-selector who funneled the money to Ann Dunham’s
Indonesian projects.

CIA Black Projects and Hawaii

While in Pakistan, Dunham’s son Barack visited her in
1980 and 1981. Obama visited Karachi, Lahore, and Hyderabad, India
during his south Asia visits. It was during the time period that the CIA
was beefing up its anti-Soviet operations in Afghanistan from Pakistan.

A January 31, 1958, heavily-redacted formerly Secret
NOFORN [no foreign dissemination] memorandum for CIA Director Allen
Dulles from the Deputy Assistant Director of the CIA for Research and
Reports [name redacted] reports on a fact-finding mission to the Far
East, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East from November 17 through
December 21, 1957.

The CIA Office of Research and Reports (ORR) chief
reports a meeting with the staff of retired Army General Jesmond Balmer,
a senior CIA official in Hawaii, about requests by the
Commander-in-Chief Pacific (CINCPAC) for “a number of detailed,
time-consuming research studies.” The ORR chief then reports about a CIA
“survey of students at the University of Hawaii who have both Chinese
language and research ability.” The ORR chief also reports that at a
South-East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) Counter Subversion Seminar
at Baguio, Philippines held from November 26-29, 1957, the Economic
Subcommittee discussed an “economic development fund” to combat
“Sino-Soviet Bloc subversive activities in the area and a consideration
of possible counter-measures which might be employed.”

The Thailand and Philippines delegations were pushing
hard for U.S. funding for an economic development fund, which may have
provided the impetus for later USAID projects in the region, including
those with which Peter Geithner and Obama’s mother were intimately
involved.

Although CIA geo-political covert operations at the
University of Hawaii are well-documented, the agency’s darker side of
research and MK-UKTRA type operations has not generally been associated
with the University of Hawaii.

A series of formerly Confidential CIA memoranda, dated
May 15, 1972, points to the involvement of both the Defense Department’s
Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the CIA, and the University
of Hawaii in the CIA’s behavioral science program. The memos are signed
by then-Deputy Director of the CIA Bronson Tweedy, the chief of the
Intelligence Community’s Program Review Group (PRG) [name redacted], and
CIA Director Richard Helms. The subject of the memos is “ARPA Supported
Research Relating to Intelligence Product,” The memo from the PRG chief
discusses a conference held on May 11, 1972, attended by Lt. Col.
Austin Kibler, ARPA’s Director of Behavioral Research. Kibler was the
chief for ARPA research into behavior modification and remote viewing.
Others mentioned in the PRG chief’s memo include CIA Deputy Director for
Intelligence Edward Proctor, the CIA Deputy Director for Science and
Technology Carl Duckett, and Director of the Office of National
Estimates John Huizenga.

In 1973, after CIA Director James Schlesinger ordered a
review of all CIA programs, the CIA developed a set of documents on
various CIA programs collectively called the “Family Jewels.” Most of
these documents were released in 2007 but it was also revealed that Dr.
Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA’s director of MKULTRA, the agency’s behavior
modification, brainwashing, and drug testing component, had been ordered
by Helms, before he resigned as CIA director, to be destroyed. Duckett,
in one memo from Ben Evans of the CIA to CIA Director William Colby,
dated May 8, 1973, conveys that he “thinks the Director would be
ill-advised to say he is acquainted with this program,” meaning
Gottlieb’s drug testing program under MKULKTRA.

Senior Gerald Ford administration officials, including
Chief of Staff Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
ensured that after the production of the “Family Jewels” documents, no
CIA revelations were made about CIA psychological behavior-altering
programs, including MKULTRA and Project ARTICHOKE.

The May 15, 1972, set of memos appears to be related to
the CIA’s initial research, code named SCANATE, in 1972 into psychic
warfare, including the use of psychics for purposes of remote viewing
espionage and mind control. The memo discussed Kibler from ARPA and “his
contractor,” which was later discovered to be Stanford Research
Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park, California.

In a memo from CIA Director Helms to, among others,
Duckett, Huizenga, Proctor, and the Director of the Defense Intelligence
Agency, which later inherited reote viewing from the CIA under the code
name GRILL FLAME, Helms insists that ARPA had been supporting research
into behavioral science and its potential for intelligence production
”for a number of years” at “M.I.T., Yale, the University of Michigan,
U.C.L.A., and University of Hawaii and other institutions as well as in
corporate research facilities.”

The role of the University of Hawaii in CIA psych-war
operations continues to this day. The chief of research for DIA’s
Defense Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Center (DCHC)
Behavioral Sciences Program, Dr. Susan Brandon, who was reportedly
involved in a covert program run by the American Psychological
Association (APA), Rand Corporation, and the CIA to employ “enhanced
interrogation” techniques, including sleep and sensory deprivation,
intense pain, and extreme isolation on prisoners held at Bagram airbase
in Afghanistan and other “black prisons,” received her PhD in Psychology
from the University of Hawaii. Brandon also served as assistant
director of Social, Behavioral, and Educational Sciences for the Office
of Science and Technology Policy in the George W. Bush White House.

The CIA’s close connections to the University of Hawaii
continued to the late 1970s, when the former President of the University
of Hawaii from 1969 to 1974, Harlan Cleveland, was a special invited
speaker at CIA headquarters on May 10, 1977. Cleveland served as
Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from
1961 to 1965 and Lyndon Johnson’s ambassador to NATO from 1965 to 1969
before taking up his position at the University of Hawaii.

A CIA Director of Training memo dated May 21, 1971,
reports on the active recruitment of a U.S. Marine officer who was
entering graduate school at the University of Hawaii.

The Family of Obama and the CIA

There are volumes of written material on the CIA
backgrounds of George H. W. Bush and CIA-related activities by his
father and children, including former President George W. Bush. Barack
Obama, on the other hand, cleverly masked his own CIA connections as
well as those of his mother, father, step-father, and grandmother (there
is very little known about Obama’s grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham,
who was supposedly in the furniture business in Hawaii after serving in
Europe during World War II). Presidents and vice presidents do not
require security background checks, unlike other members of the federal
government, to hold office. That job is left up to the press. In 2008,
the press failed miserably in its duty to vet the man who would win the
White House. With the ties of Obama’s parents to the University of
Hawaii and its links to MKULTRA and ARTICHOKE, a nagging question
remains: Is Barack Obama a real-life “Manchurian Candidate?”
(Continued below)

SPECIAL REPORT: The Story of Obama All in the Company – Add one more Obama family member to the CIA payroll. Part III
WMR previously reported on the CIA links of President
Obama’s mother, father, step-father, grandmother to the CIA. Not much is
known about Obama’s grandfather, Stanley Armour Dunham, who Obama mistakenly referred to as “his father” in two speeches, one recently to the Disabled American Veterans.
What is officially known about Stanley Armour Dunham is
that he served with the 9th Air Force in Britain and France prior to and
after the D-Day invasion. After the war, Dunham and his wife, Madelyn
and his daughter Stanley Ann — Obama’s mother — moved to Berkeley,
California; El Dorado, Kansas; Seattle; and Honolulu. Armour Dunham is
said to have worked for a series of furniture stores.
Obama maintains that his mother and father first met in a
Russian-language class at the University of Hawaii in 1959. However, a
photograph has emerged of Stanley Armour welcoming Barack Obama, Sr.,
complete with traditional Hawaiian welcoming leis, from Kenya. Obama,
Sr. was the only Kenyan student airlifted to Hawaii as part of the
CIA-inspired Airlift Africa project that saw Obama and 279 other
students from British eastern and southern African colonies brought to
the United States for college degrees prior to their homelands gaining
independence from Britain. The students were selected by Kenyan
nationalist leader Tom Mboya who would later conduct surveillance for
the CIA at pan-African nationalist meetings. Mboya was particularly
focused on two African leaders who were seen as too close to the
Sino-Soviet bloc, Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana and Sekout Toure of Guinea.

Obama, Sr. at welcoming ceremony to Hawaii. The presence of two US Navy
personnel indicates the plane may have landed at Hickam Air Force Base,
an indication of the U.S. government’s and CIA’s role in the Airlift
Africa project.
The photograph of Armour Dunham with Barack Obama, Sr.,
indicates that the “furniture salesman” in Hawaii was, in fact, working
with a CIA-funded project to rapidly educate aspiring politicians to
serve in post-independence African governments to counter Soviet- and
Chinese-backed political leaders in the region.
There is a strong reason to believe that Armour Dunham
worked in the 1950s for the CIA in the Middle East. An FBI file on
Armour Dunham existed but the bureau claimed it destroyed the file on
May 1, 1997. Considering the sour relations between the FBI and CIA
during the Cold War, it is likely that Armour Dunham was being monitored
by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover in the same manner as a number of other
CIA officials and agents were being surveilled. Similarly, the pre-1968
passport records of Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, were destroyed
by the State Department.
There is a photographic clue that the Dunhams may have
been assigned by the CIA to Beirut, Lebanon in the early 1950s. A
photograph of Obama’s mother and grandparents has emerged that shows
Stanley Ann Dunham wearing what may be a school uniform with the
insignia of “NdJ,” which stands for the College Notre-Dame de Jamhour, a
private Jesuit Catholic French language school in Beirut, Lebanon.
Graduates of the school include three former presidents of Lebanon,
Amine Gemayel, Bashir Gemayel, and Charles Helou, all of whom maintained
close relations with Washington.


Did Obama’s mother [left] go to a
private school in Lebanon in the early 1950s while her father [middle]
worked for the CIA in Beirut?
There is also the curious nature of President Obama’s
Social Security Number, issued in Connecticut, a state where there is no
other evidence of his ever being a resident. Adding to the mystery is a
New York City address for a “male” named Stanley Ann Dunham, 235 E.
40th St Apt 8F, New York NY 10016-1747. The address is a few blocks away
from the address of the Ford Foundation. Ann Dunham did work briefly in
New York for the Ford Foundation.
On August 9, 2010, WMR reported, “In a December 19,
1971, article in the Boston Globe by Dan Pinck, [a historian and former
OSS officer] titled ‘Is everyone in the CIA?’ it is alleged that
identifying US Agency for International Development (USAID) officers as
CIA agents was a ‘reasonably accurate accounting of certain leading
operatives and associates of the CIA.’ President Obama’s mother, Stanley
Ann Dunham Soetoro worked for USAID in rural Java in Indonesia. Pinck’s
article was a review of a 1968 book, ‘Who’s Who in the CIA’ published
in Berlin.”
WMR has obtained a rare copy of “Who’s Who in the CIA,”
from England. The book, published in West Berlin in 1968, lists some
3,000 CIA agents and agents-of-influence around the world.
The book also contains a reference to one CIA operative
whose area of primary place of operation was Mercer Island, Washington.
He was retired Air Force General Don Zabriskie Zimmermann, who was the
Chief Engineer for the Boeing Company in Seattle. Before retiring from
the Air Force, Zimmermann was the Air Force Assistant Deputy Chief of
Staff for Development in Foreign Countries. Ann Stanley Dunham
reportedly graduated from Mercer Island High School in 1960 and met
Obama later that year in a Russian language class after her parents
moved to Hawaii. Stanley Ann’s mother, Madelyn Dunham, worked at a
Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas during World War II.
The book lists the number of CIA agents in countries
during the 1950s and 60s where Obama’s father, mother, step-father Lolo
Soetori, and allegedly, his grandmother and grandfather worked:
Indonesia
Jakarta 64
Surabaya 12
Medan 8
Hollandia 1
Kenya
Nairobi 19
Mombassa 2
Lebanon
Beirut 61 (including one agent also assigned to Jakarta, Lahore, and Karachi and another assigned to Lahore)
Hawaii
Honolulu 6 (one agent also assigned to Canton Island
and another was fluent in French, Stanley Ann Dunham spoke French, Urdu,
Bahasa Indonesian, and she studied Javanese at the University of
Hawaii, in addition to Russian).
