LISTS POWER CENTERS OF MARXIST REGIME
by John Charlton
(Oct. 30, 2009) — It’s a fascinating view inside the politics, economics and geography of who backed the Marxist takeover of the Federal Government, under Barack Hussein Obama; and where his power bases are located. Essential information for all citizens in times of peace or civil war.

Demographics of Support
Then quite interestingly, Opensecrets shows that Obama’s support was mostly from men, contrary to what has been often been said (and this might explain why his campaign is so chauvinistic):
| Percent of Funds | Number of Contributors | Total Amount | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Female | 42.2% | 140068 | $145,907,470 |
| Male | 57.8% | 179638 | $199,743,442 |
Their other graphics on the same page, show that most of this came from donors in the $2300 range; that is upper-class elitists, who have some compelling personal interest in the agenda of his regime (for Marxist lovers, they certainly arn’t poor!).

Sure, I understand – but some of the categories OUGHT to add up.
For instance, the geography one. It needs another row – “Foreign”.
And then there is the Completeness of Campaign Finance Reports. That sounds like it covers every possibility: 1) full disclosure, 2) incomplete, or 3) no disclosure. But the numbers don’t add up to $750M – only about half that much. That gives them a 92% “good” score and a “green light”. That is totally bogus. If you include the foreign contributions on which there was no disclosure, the best score they can get isn’t much better that 50%. A big fat “red light”.
Transparency? My A$$.
None of this adds up.
92% full disclosure? My A$$.
Almost half the money is missing in this list. I am betting it is NON-DISCLOSED FOREIGN money!
The situation is MUCH WORSE than these figures indicate. The foreign contributions overshadow and outweigh everything else. Yeah, this presidency was “bought” alright, but not by lawyers or NY or DC.
——————–
Mr. Charlton replies: Remember, these sums from Opensecrets.org are for TOP categories, companies, etc.; they did not publish all categories companies; that is why the numbers do not add up to the total domestic donations. When you see that a lot of his donors gave maxed out donations; you have to wonder who gave them the money to do that; it might be that Obama funeled monies through individuals from foreign or other sources; and then you also would have a case for massive Tax fraud, if they did not report it as income.
@just wondering:
Yes, I can explain it. These are contributions by individuals, categorized by their self-reported employer and not by the university at all. The contributions “by” the University of California are actually the net contributions by individuals employed by the UC.
(If you’d read the above a little more closely, you would have seen that this: “by the companies associated with the individual donors or entities who supported Obama by contributions.”)
And what about foreign monies?
Can anyone explain to me how Universities who charge us outrageous amounts not to educate our kids, and then beg us for donations for the rest of our lives go and spend monies on campaigns? Am I the only one outraged?
Now that they have bought U.S. Government, let them pay off the Natl. Debt.
