What role is Barack Obama playing in America’s election crisis? This is arguably the most underreported aspect of the extraordinary effort to take down Donald Trump and demolish America. The more you research this question, the more you realize: All roads lead to Barack Obama. Here we’ll look at just one of these roads.
In his new book, A Promised Land, Obama heaps praise on David Plouffe, his former campaign manager. Obama has publicly lauded Plouffe as the unsung hero and supreme architect of his presidential campaigns. Plouffe was the strategic mastermind behind Team Obama’s extraordinary 2008 grassroots campaign and its pioneering digital program.
When Obama took office in January 2009, Plouffe took a sabbatical. But he never left Obama’s orbit; he remained an outside senior adviser to the Obama administration. In 2011, Plouffe returned to the White House and did a two-year stint as an assistant to the president and senior adviser. Reading Obama’s book, it’s obvious that he and Plouffe are kindred spirits and are very close.
In January 2017, at the same time President Obama left the White House, Plouffe was hired by Facebook ceo Mark Zuckerberg to be the head of policy and advocacy at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (Zuckerberg’s philanthropic organization). In this role, Plouffe was responsible for leading czi’s effort to support political and policy reform across America. Plouffe retired from his full-time position at czi in October 2019 but remained with the organization in the part-time role of resident “strategist.”
So, Barack Obama and David Plouffe are close, and David Plouffe and Mark Zuckerberg are close. Plenty of evidence also shows that Obama and Zuckerberg have a strong relationship, so it’s reasonable to conclude that all three know each other well. These men have worked together for years. Most significantly, they are political and ideological brothers.
Now, skip ahead to this past September and October. This is when the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative gave $350 million to the Center for Tech and Civil Life (ctcl). Established in 2012 and headquartered in Chicago, the ctcl is a nonprofit organization that works with citizens, community groups and local governments to promote greater participation in federal, state and local elections. Among its activities, the ctcl helps local governments and community groups implement election legislation, educate voters, equip voting locations with new technology, train poll workers, collect and analyze election data, and tackle cybersecurity concerns. In some states, election workers are paid directly by ctcl grants. ctcl claims to be nonpartisan, but a little digging shows it leans heavily to the left.
Before Zuckerberg’s gigantic donation, ctcl received an average of around $1 million per year. How did Zuckerberg learn about this relatively small nonprofit in Chicago? Surely David Plouffe, former head of policy and advocacy and the resident “strategist” at Zuckerberg’s organization, was involved in the decision to donate $350 million to ctcl. After all, this was exactly the type of work he was brought on to do.
It’s even plausible that Barack Obama himself put ctcl on Zuckerberg’s radar. ctcl and some of its principal staff have multiple connections to the former president, even going as far back as his 2008 presidential campaign. Tiana Epps-Johnson, ctcl’s founder and executive director, is an Obama Fellow at the Obama Foundation in Chicago.
Here’s what we do know: When ctcl received Zuckerberg’s first donation, it immediately gave at least $75 million to local authorities in heavily Democratic areas in battleground states!
In A Citizen’s Guide to Beating Donald Trump, released last year, Plouffe wrote that “the contest for the presidency may come down to block-by-block street fights in Detroit, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.” Is it a coincidence, as Ken Blackwell wrote for Breitbart, that “some of the biggest recipients [of ctcl’s money], in fact, were the very locales Plouffe had identified as the linchpins of the Democrat strategy in 2020”?
A recent study by the Amistad Project listed the 20 largest publicly identified recipients of ctcl funds. Remarkably, the counties and cities that received Zuckerberg’s money are virtually the same as the counties and cities where the fraud and corruption occurred: Philadelphia, Detroit, Minneapolis and Milwaukee; Delaware and Allegheny counties in Pennsylvania; and Fulton, Cobb and DeKalb counties in Georgia—all overwhelmingly Democratic counties or cities in four key swing states.
In September, not long after the ctcl began distributing the money, concerned citizens filed lawsuits against the organization in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pennsylvania, arguing that federal law prohibited local governments from accepting private federal election grants. The plaintiffs in these suits were worried that the money donated by Mark Zuckerberg—who was counseled by David Plouffe, and maybe even Barack Obama—would be used to commit fraud!
And rightly so. Amistad Project director Phillip Kline obtained a court order from the Middle District of Pennsylvania that allowed him to view Philadelphia’s communications with ctcl. “Those communications show that ctcl dictated the way the election would be run in Philadelphia, how many polling places they would have, they paid the election officials, they paid the satellite election officials, they paid the judges, they brought in these drop boxes,” said Kline.
The Michigan lawsuit claimed Zuckerberg’s money was used to print and distribute absentee and mail-in ballots, and to add extra drop boxes in Democratic areas. It said the money was intended to increase ballots cast “in only certain urban and predominantly Democratic precincts” and to “selectively influence the outcome of the 2020 general election.”
Sadly, all four lawsuits were dismissed. The reasons varied, but the judges across all states generally rejected the notion that the money would be used to manipulate the election. Yet in the end, that’s exactly what happened!
This is only one of the paths of evidence that suggests Barack Obama lies at the epicenter of this election crisis. There are others. The fact that the media is not seriously investigating evidence like this, nor exposing what figures like Obama, Plouffe, Zuckerberg and the entire radical left are doing, is itself a massive scandal!
In last month’s cover story, “Why Donald Trump Will Remain America’s President,” editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote, “I am also certain that we are about to see some of the biggest frauds exposed perhaps ever!“ In coming weeks and months, expect to see more evidence of Barack Obama’s fingerprints on this election coup.
