Obama, Rezko, Auchi - Was Obama's Life/Campaign Funded By Oil-for-Food?

There have been many who have theorized (conspirized?) that Barack Obama is a Muslim undercover agent posing as a Christian to run for the Presidency of the United States.

In my opinion, there is no credible evidence for that theory.

However, we may just find that Obama's life and campaign have been, in part funded nefariously by an Iraqi-born British "businessman" named Nadhmi Auchi:


The first really explosive revelation of the Tony Rezko trial came out today, and it will have Barack Obama playing defense yet again. Obama had insisted that he never met Rezko’s shady financier, Iraqi-born Nadhmi Auchi, but a key witness put the two of them together in a 2004 fundraiser. It raises all sorts of questions about how Rezko and Obama raised money for Obama’s Senate bid that year:

When Tony Rezko held a reception at his home for Iraqi-born billionaire Nadhmi Auchi on April 3, 2004, White House hopeful Barack Obama and his wife were also there, Stuart Levine testified just now at Rezko’s trial.

Auchi is the man who provided Rezko a $3.5 million loan that Rezko did not disclose to the court — resulting in his January arrest.

Mr. and Mrs. Obama were there, were they not?” Rezko lawyer Joseph Duffy asked. Yes, sir,” Levine said.

Obama and his aides have said Obama has no recollection of ever meeting Auchi.

Rezko invited Levine to the reception after the two met up with each other during a family vacation in Puerto Vallarta. Rezko had to leave early to arrange for the reception, Levine testified. So Levine offered to rent a larger jet and fly Rezko’s wife and children back to Chicago. That night, they all attended the reception.

Who’s Nadhmi Auchi? I wrote about his connection to Rezko in February. Auchi, one of the wealthiest men in Britain, has a long history of suspicious financial dealings with — among others — Saddam Hussein.

He defrauded the French petroleum company Elf and also the UK’s National Health System. Reportedly he served as a spy for MI-6 until the American invasion of Iraq, when the Brits deported him to France to face fraud and corruption charges.

Auchi came to the US supposedly to fund Rezko’s ambitions in the pizza business. He gave Rezko millions of dollars in loans at the same time Rezko and Obama went in together on that real-estate venture that allowed Obama to save money on his current $1.65 million residence. Three weeks after receiving the loan, Rezko was able to partner with Obama to buy two adjoining properties that the seller insisted had to be sold at the same time.


Millions of dollars to start a pizza business. Hey, pizza has been a good business for many people, but what do you think of the idea that one of the wealthiest men in Britain (who just happens to be Iraqi-born) travelling to the U.S. to invest in, of all things, a pizza parlor.

That's some big-time international jet-set type venture capital, huh?

There is a chance that Auchi is connected to the Oil-for-Food scandal. He was the Oil Ministry Director of Planning and Development before leaving Iraq in 1979. He clearly profited from commissions on the sale of weapons in the 80's and 90's.
