The Corruption Chronicles: Obama's Big Secrecy, Big Corruption, and Big Government

by Tom Fitton

WASHINGTON’S MOST  PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FLOUTING OF FEDERAL LAW * CORRUPTION * VIOLATING CAMPAIGN FINANCE REGULATIONS * TERRORIST TIES * VOTER REGISTRATION FRAUD * GOVERNMENT CON GAMES * EXTORTION BECAUSE NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! In 2008, Barack Obama made a promise to have the “most transparent administration” of any U.S. president; it was the very cornerstone of his campaign. No secrets. No masks. No smoke and mirrors. No excuses. But over the next four years, President Obama’s administration would prove to be one of the most guarded and duplicitous of our time. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, America’s largest nonpartisan government watchdog (challenging George W. Bush as well as Bill Clinton), has been investigating Obama ever since he splashed onto the national scene in 2006. Now Fitton exposes devastating secrets the Obama administration has desperately fought—even in court—to keep from the American public. For a while, the Obama stonewall seemed to be holding. Until now. And the revelations are astonishing. Judicial Watch has unearthed the truth behind such high-profile issues as the bailouts, Obamacare, Guantanamo, Obama’s true ties to Bill Ayers and to the Black Panthers voting intimidation scandal, and the Constitution-defying government czars. He reveals Obama’s personal war against FOX News, his real link to ACORN, and his radical Chicago connections. Through scores of smoking-gun government files, some replicated here and many unearthed after lengthy court battles, Fitton also discloses the facts of the Obama-backed $535-million loan guarantee to Solyndra, promoted by the president as a model for economic recovery—only months before its disastrous bankruptcy filing. Here too is the truth behind the gunrunning scandal, code-named Fast and Furious, which was a program generated in secrecy by the U.S. government that supplied thousands of firearms to murderous criminals in Mexico—an unconscionable act, and only one in a series of historical lows for an administration that few, if any, major media in this country dare to expose. This book details how the Obama machine is aggressively employing Chicago-style tactics to steal, if necessary, the 2012 elections. And how Judicial Watch is prepared to go to court with historic lawsuits to make sure the elections are fair and honest. Why do Obama supporters turn a blind eye to his astoundingly unethical and abusive approach to governing this country? The Corruption Chronicles boldly, honestly, and factually makes the case that the federal government is now off the rails and out of control, and has literally built its foundation on broken promises, fatal miscalculations, and a cynical manipulation of its trusting public. But it’s not over. Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch are proof that the Tea Party approach to government corruption can make a difference. A grassroots group can take on the president, the Congress, and the judiciary, and finally force the government to be held accountable. The uncontestable facts are here, in The Corruption Chronicles. To see what is true, you only have to look.  THE FULLY DOCUMENTED FACTS • The Solyndra Debacle • Obama’s Operation Fast and Furious • The Obama Administration’s $20 Billion Government Extortion Scheme • The Unprecedented Threat to the Integrity of the 2012 Elections • The Czar Investigation Stonewall • The Undermining of Our N

Disgusting!!! The corruption in Washington is absolutely disgusting. Something must be done about these politicians that think they're above the law. Thank you Justice Watch for exposing these scumbags. Read if you care about this country. Enjoy!

This is an extremely disturbing piece by a credible source that might make you want to look closer at the domestic spending budget. When I say a credible source, the documentary evidence are records of government offices and officials, gathered through FIOA requests and lawsuits to force disclosure of the FIOA requested documents.

For the most part, I have not looked at the actual documents, but I find Judicial Watch to be active and credible in exposing questionable government activity. I visit their web page frequently, and see them quoted in many news reports. They have been around since 1994, and have exposed Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations. After reading this, you may question Obama's claim to be the "most transparent" administration.

My point is that many of these programs are not constitutionally within the power of the congress and they distract from the defined responsibilities of our federal government, aside from being corrupt.

We recently observed the theater of a "peaceful transition of power" as Barack and Michelle Obama engaged Donald and Melania Trump with hospitality and cordial photo op's. The charm offensive seemed to effectively disarm incoming President Donald Trump. Now evidence seems to be mounting that at that very hour, the Obama administration was illegally wiretapping communications of the Trump team and otherwise preparing an arsenal of bombs to drop on the incoming administration in the first weeks of the "peaceful transition."
The power of government is soon corrupted when the media is rewarded with "breaking stories" leaked by insider sources that are motivated by their own vested interests. "Corruption Chronicles" does the investigative reporting that media, "the fourth estate" of government, neglects. The abuse of office, betrayal of American security, and squandering of taxpayer dollars reported in this book are alarming and disheartening; but will alert the reader to how government is run these days. While 2/3 of the book report on the first term of President Obama, I was most interested in the opening chapters on the Clinton and Bush administrations. As the years passed, career politicians and unelected bureaucrats increased their power, their protections, and their budgets, at the expense of the American people and the national future. These outrages are exposed in "The Corruption Chronicles," and have most assuredly compounded since its 2012 publication. Bear in mind when weighing news reports during the "peaceful transition" that this is the government-media Establishment the Trump administration inherits.

Unlike Barack Obama's promise at the start of his presidency to be the most transparent administration in history, in The Corruption Chronicles: Obama's Big Secrecy, Big Corruption, and Big Government by Tom Fitton, the actual record of stonewalling, secret meetings, creating unaccountable power positions to work around congress, using the various departments of government to intimidate any opposition, and corruption at its core make this administration the most paranoid and defensive administration in American history, on par with that of Richard Nixon. The author, president of Judicial Watch, had to file countless Freedom Of Information Act requests for simple information about the inner workings of the Obama administration because most simple initial requests were met with a negative response followed by legal battles over what the administration was doing. Once some materials were finally released, often more was found later that they refused to release until another legal battle was fought. Many times the information that was released showed patterns of corruption if not outright illegal activity that resulted in more FOIA requests that were also strongly resisted by the administration. Unlike the promised transparency and self-proclaimed scandal-free administration, Obama Inc. proved to be the opposite and probably one of the worst. The author does a nice job researching and chronicling the vast number of shady operations with reference to specific documents to support his findings. If the Kool Aid has started to wear off, you will find some interesting eye-opening facts that you are unlikely to find in the main stream media.

Great book

This book is well written and researched. It is a wake-up call of what is really going on in our government.

[Shane Hawk · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hilarious if not so tragic. The plethora of detail filled in the holes for the things I knew of prior to reading this. It just goes to show corruption is a prerequisite for those inclined to fill a Washington seat. Opens up with a few chapters with examples of boneheaded-ness from the Clinton and Bush administrations. At times you can tell Fitton hates Obama, but his attitude appears to be uniform for politicians and bureaucrats circumventing law.

[Fred Fanning · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an outstanding book filled with corruption committed by politicians in the United States. The book supports information about the politician who committed the corruption and what Judicial Watch has done to bring the corruption to light using the Freedom of Information Act and lawsuits. The book is a great resource for anyone who plans to vote in United States elections.

[Cassie Allen · Rating 5 out of 5]

A well documented work detailing corruption of many political figures, especially Obama, a figure the media portrays as angelic. The facts presented in this book leaves me even more skeptical and disenfranchised with politicians. Corruption definitely crosses party lines.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[Bonnie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very illuminating and interesting look three of our former presidents, especially President Obama. I would be very interested to know what Judicial Watch thinks of our last president.

A good book to read. I highly recommend.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 4 out of 5]

The author writes aabout Judicial Watch and its fight with government and govern official's abuse of power. While he covers the battles with the Clinton and Bush administrations, most of the work deals with the Oboma administration. It addresses abuses of Oboma's oath of office and the Constitution itself. It does not give preferental treatment to any political party. A must read for concerned Americans.
