Elon Musk and his DOGE team have uncovered a lot of Social Security numbers that belong to people who were likely dead because, judging from their date of birth, they would be 120 years old or even older. The anti-Elon crowd erupted in furor—as they periodically do for no reason at all—but their objection was that there was no evidence that these valiant centenarians were actually receiving Social Security benefits. In other words, sure there were old accounts still listed as being active, but who cares? No one was getting paid.
These anti-DOGE activists thought it didn’t matter one bit if dead people were not purged from Social Security rolls because all that mattered were Social Security payments.
Au contraire, I would say, although I don’t normally speak French. There is a really important reason that fraudsters like Social Security numbers from dead people. It is not to collect Social Security. It is to construct and maintain a fake identity. Fake identities can be far more valuable than a twenty thousand a year or so in purloined benefits.
If you are a criminal or need to keep some secrets about your actual past, a nice pristine Social Security number is the cornerstone to building a fake identity.
So a lot of the names on the Social Security roster of people who were likely dead are valuable to criminals—not for getting benefits, but for getting a new identity.
When Barack Obama was a teenager of 15 years of age, he was living in Hawaii with his maternal grandparents. He worked at a Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop. He could only have gotten the job if he had a valid Social Security number. No one knows what that number was, but it would have started with a 575 or 576.
That’s because prior to 2011, all Social Security numbers were coded to indicate the state in which they were issued by the first three digits. For instance, if you got your Social Security number in Florida prior to 2011, it starts with one of the numbers in the range of 261 to 267. These first three numbers are called the "area code." In 2011, that was switched out in favor of a randomized system. Barack Obama hit high school in the mid-1970s, so he would have definitely had a Social Security with the Hawaiaan area code, which in his case would have been 575 or 576.
However, Barack Obama’s Social Security number is 042-68-4425. I’m not divulging a secret here, it’s all over the internet. The 042 area code belongs to Connecticut, which is a state where Obama never resided. The Social Security number was issued in Connecticut and according to the records, this “SSN was not found in Social Security Death Index.” That means the number is still “live” in the system. When a death is properly registered, the Social Security number associated with the deceased person is permanently retired.
Apparently, Elon and the DOGE guys are finding out this does not always happen. Sometimes people die and their Social Security numbers live on.
Why did Obama ditch a Social Security number he must have obtained in high school in Honolulu for the number of a dead guy from Connecticut? Well, there are several explanations that come to mind, for which I have no concrete proof.
It is possible for foreigners to get Social Security numbers but that number might lead back to information that could identify them as foreigners. So it may be that Obama was not born in the USA, which was fine when he was scooping ice cream, but problematic for a future president.
It is possible that Barack Obama had committed crimes that might have turned up with a real Social Security number. He was known to be big into pot in the 1970s and some people back then who smoked a lot of pot got in trouble with the law. But who knows? There may have been some other types of traceable malicious activity that Barack did not want traced.
There is a group of people (of whom I am one) who believe that Obama did not graduate Occidental College with an Associate’s Degree and never entered Columbia or Harvard. I believe, as do certain others, that his academic credentials were either totally or partially fabricated. That’s why his university records have been sealed. It’s why this “brilliant scholar” left no articles and published no scholarly papers. Getting a new Social Security number would help doubly obscure his records.
Then there are mysterious trips that Obama allegedly took to Pakistan during some of the time he stated he was at Columbia and Harvard. (Some say he also spent some time in Russia.) This kind of journey is best obscured by fake passports, fake Social Security numbers, and alibis that you were somewhere else when you were really in CIA school, I mean, doing whatever it is you were doing.
Hat Tip to Susan Daniels
Susan Daniels is a private investigator who has been pursuing this obvious crime for years. Check out her great Substack at Susan’s Newsletter. She wrote a great book which we reviewed here last year called The Rubbish Hauler’s Wife. She’s the leader in the field of delving into Obama’s fake Social Security number and other suspicious records. She has been pursuing this with intelligence and persistence for YEARS.
It is illegal to have more than one Social Security number, even without nefarious use of them. It is illegal to take somebody else’s Social Security number, even if they are dead and no longer need it. And not all people who break the law in this way are doing it to get Social Security benefits to which they are not entitled. Some people do it for identity theft. Stealing a Social Security check is what they call in the criminal world “small potatoes.” Why steal a few checks when you could steal the White House?
As Elon Musk digs deeper into Social Security, what we’re going to find is that no less a person than the former President of the United States purloined another person’s social security number. This is not a conspiracy theory. There is no alternative explanation as to why Obama would be using the Social Security number of a guy named Thomas Wood who was born in 1890 and lived in Connecticut and is no doubt dead now.
Are arrests imminent? Just what does a Democrat need to do in D.C. to get arrested?! Apparently the blatant and obvious theft of identity is not a crime if a Democrat does it.
The Department of Justice knows about Obama’s fake Social Security number. The Democrats know it. The Republicans know it. Everybody in power knows that Barack Obama was a phony-baloney with a stolen Social Security number.
Heck, even I know it and I’m no where near the halls of power. The closest I’ve ever come to talking to a member of Congress is writing an email. And yet I know it.
I am hoping Elon calls this out, explains why all these bogus Social Security numbers are a threat, and we get to see Barack Obama arrested. I am pretty sure if I was operating on a fake Social Security number, I’d be in trouble. And if I used that fake number to amass political office and personal wealth, I’d be in prison.
Why not Obama?
How Did Obama Ever Get on the Ballot with No Birth Certificate?
And now here’s a fun fact. In 2007, Barack Obama intended to run for President, the first serious candidate for this office ever from the state of Hawaii. But the Hawaii Board of Elections would not put Obama on the ballot. You’d think they’d be cheering their favorite son onto the White House. But they had their reasons. The reason? There was no birth certificate for Barack Obama on file in Hawaii.
This is true.
In October 2007—about a year ahead of the 2008 election—Barack traveled to Hawaii ostensibly to visit his sick grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. She is the one he called “Toot” and who raised him. But Barack didn’t really care about visiting Toot (in fact, she died November 2 and he didn’t even go to her funeral). Instead, he used the trip as an excuse to pay a visit to the Board of Elections in Hawaii. He had to put a damper on this “no birth certificate” talk. But they had no birth certificate and they weren’t going to budge.
Enter Nancy Pelosi. (Wherever two or more criminals in the Democrat party are gathered, she is with them.)
She created for Barack Obama the first of its kind ever “Certificate of Nomination” that said Obama was “legally qualified to serve under the provision of the national Democratic Party.” This was unique in all of history. Every other Certificate of Nomination states that the person is “legally qualified to serve under the provision of the United States Constitution.” Barack is the only person in the universe ever to have his certificate of nomination read this way. It was Pelosi’s way of making something illegal into something legal. And she figured: who reads the fine print anyway? (Answer: Susan Daniels.)
I don’t know what went on, but somehow between Obama’s visit to the Hawaiian Election Board and Pelosi’s doctoring of his certification, Obama got on the ballot. Then later on a birth certificate magically turned up in Hawaii. (It was debunked as a forgery and a fraud, but then later on, it was said that people who doubt the fake certificate were racist conspiracy theorists.) Then the head of the Department of Public Health in Hawaii (keeper of vital statistics, including birth certificates) was killed in a freak accident. Then everyone who even mentioned the phony birth certificate became a racist conspiracy theorist.
In fact, the one sacred truth that arose in the United States—to be questioned by none and saluted by all—was that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii. The amusing thing about this prevailing wisdom is that it’s 100% false. Most of the things you are ordered never to question turn out to be untrue.
Now if you pulled this stunt of doctoring an election certirfication to run for office because you had no legitimate birth certificate, it’s not a big stretch to think you’d steal an identity. By the way, the fact that Pelosi was willing to dummy up certification for him suggests to me that she knew Senator Obama was not a viable candidate and was not born in Hawaii. That fact that John Brennan was willing to seal Obama’s academic and other records suggests to me that he knew that Obama was not a viable candidate and had never gone to those universities. I think the only people who believe Obama was truly and legally eligible to be President are the ladies of The View, but they also believe Lee Harvey Oswald killed Kennedy and that COVID came from bat soup in China.
Using a bogus Social Security number is a crime. But using it to run for the White House, well, that’s a crime in a class by itself. It’s like the three-minute mile of crime—no one has ever pulled it off before.
I hope this comes to light and I’m optimistic that Elon’s talk about these dormant Social Security numbers is warming us up for the big crescendo. Wouldn’t that be sweet?
Barack Obama, you have the right to remain silent….
Good pick! I still go with genocidal mass murderer Toni FauXi though first. Your pick second, Hillary or Comey third.0
Great Post! I agree with you and Susan Daniels ... something is definitely squirrelly about Obama’s origins and SSN. Do let’s take this opportunity to clear that up and possibly bring down Obama and his friends. And maybe they’ll lead us to whoever is behind it all because frankly, Obama couldn't have done it without a lot of help.
I also agree that Susan Daniels is an unusually good investigative journalist. As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve had some contact with her myself regarding the circumstances surrounding the death of Obama’s chef, Tafari Campbell, who died near Obama’s Martha Vineyard home. As I told you, I discovered a fact that didn’t at all fit the narrative that the mainstream media was painting about the incident … specifically, what the Massachusetts State Police claimed was the depth of water where Tafari drowned. That led me to contact over a score of mainstream liberal and conservative media outlets that had published articles on the event (including Susan's) to suggest they investigate the discrepancy. ONLY Susan Daniels, responded, and only she ever wrote an article about the huge discrepancy that I wrote her and the other media outlets about.
Now of course nothing happened. Even after pointing out her article to other media outlets, nothing happened. Even some conservative ones to my surprise whitewashed the whole affair. So the establishment successfully covered up what was probably another murder, like they did with Vince Foster. The Massachusetts State Police had to be in on that, as well as Obama’s Secret Service detail. But I still hand it to Susan for pursuing the matter despite the danger.
