Cliff Kincaid -- Russian-backed Propaganda Networks Claim Obama is a CIA Agent

Cliff Kincaid -- Russian-backed Propaganda Networks Claim Obama is a CIA Agent:

"Wayne Madsen, a regular contributor to the Russia Today propaganda channel, has been making the rounds for a year claiming that Barack Obama or his family members have had CIA connections.

Now, the American Thinker, a premier conservative news site, has taken the bait.

In a July 15 post, “The network that produced Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.,” Thomas Lifson cites an article on the site of the Claremont Institute that “raises the intriguing network of connections among President Obama’s family and programs sponsored by the CIA and a variety of fronts and associated groups…” Lifson claims a “history” by the CIA of co-opting “progressive American internationalists” and suggests this may be the case with Obama.

The allegations are that Obama and/or his parents or grandparents had affiliations with companies or foundations with alleged CIA links."
