For eleven years the Obama Administration used a supercomputer called The Hammer to spy on American citizens. It is this, the most powerful surveillance tool in the history of man, that has caused the extreme political tumult of the past four years.

As a government contractor, Dennis Montgomery created the Hammer in 2003. As you can imagine, it quickly became a highly effective tool for the US in its War on Terror. Created and built to protect the American people, it was eventually turned on them for illegal domestic surveillance.

In February 2009, the Hammer was commandeered by the Obama Administration for massive domestic surveillance and hacking of American citizens. Not even president yet for a whole two months, Obama had obviously made his administration's theft of the Hammer a priority. With the help of the then FBI Director Robert Mueller, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and CIA Director John Brennan, it was moved to Fort Washington in Maryland.
