Barack Hussein Obama (born August 4, 1961) is a Statesian politician and war criminal who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. Obama previously served as a U.S. senator representing Illinois from 2005 to 2008 and as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004.
Despite his war crimes, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.[1] He organized coups in Ukraine and Honduras, increased arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and expanded U.S. military presence in Africa. After his presidency, he promoted the Russiagate conspiracy theory which contributed to the New Cold War.[2]
Early life and family
Barack Obama's father has been identified as a CIA asset who helped the U.S. empire recolonize Africa during the early Cold War. His mother, Ann Dunham, worked for USAID in Indonesia in the 1960s.[2]
Presidency
In 2011, Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allowing the US to indefinitely detain anyone worldwide without trial or any charges.[3]
Obama signed a secret order in 2012 to approve CIA support for Syrian rebels attempting to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. He also increased funding for the NED.[4]
Contrary to Obama's claims of targeting serious criminals for deportation, over 2/3 of the deportation cases during his tenure only involved people with minor infractions or no crime at all.[5]
In 2014, Obama's government helped to install a neo-Nazi government in Ukraine.[6]
In 2016 alone, Obama dropped 26,171 bombs on seven countries.[7] He also authorized 10 times as many drone strikes as previous president George W. Bush.
War crimes
In 2010, Obama ordered the CIA to assassinate a U.S. citizen living in Yemen. He was killed in September 2011 and his son was killed two weeks later.[8] In 2015, he killed a 13-year-old child with another drone strike.[9]
On October 3, 2015, US forces bombed a hospital in Afghanistan, killing 42 people.[10]
