Using a Pakistani Internet Protocol and proxy

server, a disposable credit card and a fake

address, “Osama bin Laden” has

successfully donated twice to Barack

Obama’s presidential re-election campaign.

The “Bin Laden” donations, actually made

by WND staff, included a listed occupation

of “deceased terror chief” and a stated

employer of “al-Qaida.”

“Bin Laden” is currently set up on the

official campaign website to contribute

more to Obama’s campaign. The name is

also registered as a volunteer.

Since the “foreign” contribution was sent,

“Bin Laden’s” email address has received

several solicitations from Obama’s

campaign asking for more donations.

“Bin Laden” is currently set up on the

also registered as a volunteer.

Since the “foreign” contribution was sent,

“Bin Laden’s” email address has received

several solicitations from Obama’s

campaign asking for more donations.

The apparently foreign-based contributions

were conducted as a test after a flurry of

media reports described the ability of

foreigners to donate to the Obama campaign

but not to Mitt Romney’s site, which has

placed safeguards against such efforts.

The acceptance of foreign contributions is

strictly illegal under U.S. campaign finance law.

One $15 donation was made at

BarackObama.com using a confirmed

Pakistani IP address and proxy server. In

other words, as far as the campaign website

was concerned, the donation was openly

identified electronically as coming from

Pakistan.

Upon clicking the “donate” button, WND

staff selected the $15 amount and were taken

to a page on the campaign website asking

for a first and last name, city, state, zip code,

email address and phone number.

The information submitted was: “Osama bin

Laden, 911 Jihad Way, Abbottabad, CA

91101.”

While the website only has options for U.S.

states and zip codes, there is no mechanism

in place on Obama’s website to verify the

individual is actually located in that state or

zip code, or even in the U.S.

The Obama campaign refuses to release the

identification of donors who give less than

$200

In the case of this donation, the 91101 zip

code is real but corresponds to Pasadena,

Calif., and not Abbottabad, the Pakistani

city in which bin Laden was found holed up

in a compound.

For a requested phone number, WND

inputted the White House information line of

(202) 456-2121.

The email address used to set up the

donation account was

osama4obama2012@gmail.com.

After clicking “next,” the website asked for

an employer, occupation and a password to

set up future donations. WND staff entered

the occupation as “deceased terror chief”

and the employer as “al-Qaida.”

The transaction was made last Friday with

the use of a disposable credit card. The

website did not require the card’s security

code.
