William Cellini trial defense grills Stuart Levine, Acts of dishonesty, FBI recordings, Where is Tony Rezko?
“Why was Tony Rezko’s sentencing delayed?”…Citizen Wells
From the Chicago Tribune October 15, 2011.
“Witness against Cellini grilled by defense
Prosecutors play more damaging recordings”
“When it came his time late Friday afternoon to begin cross-examining the government’s star witness, Springfield power broker William Cellini’s lawyer wasted no time going after Stuart Levine, a deeply flawed man with decades of wrongdoing in his past.
“Let me start by asking you about your credibility as a witness,” said Dan Webb, Cellini’s lawyer. “Is that OK with you?”
Webb then hit Levine with a barrage of questions about how much money he stole, how many institutions he cheated and how he felt about it all.
Levine paused long and often in his answers.
He had no answer when Webb asked how many “acts of dishonesty” he had engaged in.
“I’ll take an estimate,” Webb shot back, asking whether it was a number “over 500.”
Levine answered that he didn’t know how to “quantify it.”
“Is it fair to say there has been so many you can’t give an estimate of a total?” Webb then asked.
Webb’s cross-examination lasted about an hour before court adjourned for the weekend and will continue next week.
Earlier Friday, prosecutors wrapped up their questioning of Levine while playing for the jury some of the most potentially damaging undercover recordings involving Cellini.
Cellini is charged with trying to extort from a Hollywood producer who did substantial business with the state a $1.5 million contribution to then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s campaign.
Cellini, whose investment company had made millions of dollars from the Illinois Teachers’ Retirement System, is alleged to have agreed to work with Levine, a board member at TRS, and Blagojevich advisers Antoin “Tony” Rezko and Christopher Kelly as a way to protect his access at the pension board.
In recordings played Friday, Levine and Cellini discussed how to deal with the failing plot to extort producer Thomas Rosenberg, who threatened to go to law enforcement. The conversations revealed a separate problem for Cellini — his concern that Rezko and Kelly were too obvious in their corruption and already under investigation.
In a recorded telephone call with Levine on May 8, 2004, Cellini recounted advice he had given Kelly after finding him “beside himself sittin’ on the couch.”
“If somebody comes in with badges and flashes them at you and in the course of the conversation says do you know Bill Cellini, just know before they ask that question that they have already checked all your phone logs and they know that we have talked on the phone,” Cellini said.
Some jurors’ eyes widened and one turned her gaze directly on Cellini at that moment.”

Chicago SunTimes Natasha Korecki Twitter updates from the courtroom.
“Levine says with Cellini on speaker phone, he, Kelly and Rezko decide it’s too “dangerous” to demand a bribe from Rosenberg.”
“Next call between Levine and Cellini ends: “I do love you, Bill,” Levine says. “I love you too, Stu,” Cellini says.”
“Prosecution ends its questioning of Stuart Levine.”
“Webb to Levine: “a large part of your adult life was committed to doing dishonesty acts?” Levine says no.”
“Long pause in courtroom as Levine tries to count the # organizations he’s cheated over last 40 years. He comes up w/5.”
“After Levine tells us about ripping off numerous charities for millions of $$$, Cellini trial breaks for wknd.”

Why is the Media and USG covering up the fact that Fast and Furious was designed to target gun shops and US gun laws?
It was Obama / Clinton policy since 2008. This is not theory just fact.

“Obama Sends US Troops to Uganda
Tony Cartalucci
Prisonplanet.com
October 15, 2011
Excerpt:
“While America occupies Iraq and Afghanistan, wages covert war on Pakistan, conducts drone attacks on Yemen and Somalia, bombards Libya, and positions for a wider confrontation with Iran and Syria, Nobel Peace Prize Laurette President Obama has now quietly, without much fanfare, sent 100 US troops to help Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni crush rebels threatening his 25 year dictatorship.
In what is essentially a “reverse-Libyan-style” intervention, the US is sending troops to crush, not assist rebels rising up against their despotic ruler. Ironically, just as with Libya’s rebels, Uganda’s rebels are also listed as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department. Instead of the corporate-financier contrived International Criminal Court issuing fictitious warrants for Uganda’s head of state, as was done with Qaddafi in Libya, it is the Ugandan rebel leader, Joseph Kony, who is being targeted.”

“BRUTAL: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S EPIC FRIDAY NEWS DUMP”
Guy Benson
Political Editor
Townhall.com
Excerpt:
“It’s a classic Beltway tradition: Release unflattering and unhelpful stories just before a weekend, in hopes of mitigating their political impact. As Tim Carney notices, it’s been quite a Friday for the Obama administration. Has it ever:
(1) Obamacare is falling apart at the seams:
The Obama administration Friday pulled the plug on a major program in the president’s signature health overhaul law — a long-term care insurance plan dogged from the beginning by doubts over its financial solvency. Targeted by congressional Republicans for repeal, the long-term care plan became the first casualty in the political and policy wars over the health care law. The program had been expected to launch in 2013. “This is a victory for the American taxpayer and future generations,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., spearheading opposition in the Senate. “The administration is finally admitting (the long-term care plan) is unsustainable and cannot be implemented.”
Following the CLASS Act’s implosion, roughly half of Democrats’ illusory Obamacare “deficit savings”go up in smoke. As we reported last month, Democrats knew this would happen all along, and pressed forward anyway to help gin up a phony CBO score to drag their healthcare bill’s carcass over the finish line. This is a disgrace.
(2) The Treasury has recorded the second highest annual deficit in US history:
The government ran a $1.3 trillion deficit for the budget year that ended last month, the third straight year it has operated more than $1 trillion in the red. The 2011 budget deficit was the second highest on record. It’s slightly ahead of the previous budget year’s $1.29 trillion deficit but below the $1.41 trillion imbalance record in 2009. A decade ago, the government was running surpluses and trillion-dollar deficits seemed unimaginable. But those deficits now loom over tense negotiations in Washington.
(3) Billionaire Obama donor backer and major Solyndra investor, George Kaiser, has paid almost zero taxes over the last decade:”

Excerpt:
“Guy did a great job of wrapping up the Friday news dump, but not long after another tidbit came along: now the White House is refusing a House request to hand over any more internal Solyndra documents.
Congress isn’t getting a glimpse of what’s on President Barack Obama’s Blackberry – or any more internal White House communications related to the bankrupt solar company Solyndra, which received a $535 million loan guarantee from the federal government.
House Republicans investigating the loan controversy had requested all internal White House documents about the issue. House Energy and Commerce subcommittee chair Rep. Cliff Stearns said that includes emails on the President’s Blackberry.”

Excerpt:
“After Obama announced earlier this week that he would be sending American troops into Uganda, WND uncovered billionaire activist George Soros’ ties both to the political pressure behind the decision and to the African nation’s fledgling oil industry.
Soros sits on the executive board of an influential “crisis management organization” that recently recommended the U.S. deploy a special advisory military team to Uganda to help with operations and run an intelligence platform, a recommendation Obama’s action seems to fulfill.”

“NEW BOOK SHOWS HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ONLINE HAZARDS”
© 2011 WND
October 15, 2011
Excerpt:
“In “Violated Online,” Wyer shares SERM best practices that should be considered as necessary nowadays as the lock on your front door. The book is that important.
You will learn how the American government has passed laws that, in attempting to support the right to free speech, leave its citizens open to be maligned with impunity by accusers both real and fictitious. In “Violated Online,” Wyer explains that our basic rights to privacy are being run over by data aggregators, cookies on our computers and profiteers that cash in on our suffering.
It’s a fascinating read: The lessons are explained primarily via case studies, which makes both for interesting reading and easy comprehension.
Among the many critical topics covered, you will learn:
•How much transparency is too much
•What lines you need to draw that you, your family and your business will not cross when it comes to posting information online
•How deliberate should you be about offering comments and opinions
•How to deal with cybersquatting – registering a domain name in bad faith with the intention of selling to the rightful owner or for malicious purposes
•What constitutes online slander
•If you are slandered, how to repair and reclaim your online persona over time
•How your entire online experience is being analyzed, tracked and exposed – and this includes your email if you use web-based providers such as gmail. Search engines retain your email even after you delete it.
•The inner workings of Google’s search algorithm (factors that go into delivering results) explained in layman’s terms – perhaps the clearest description you are going to find anywhere.
•How to see universal – rather than personalized – search engine results. (It’s the only way you’ll know what other people are learning about you).
•How to analyse your online reputation and identity right now (it’s not hard, but also not as simple as you might think)
•How to “own” as much of your online real estate as possible
•A step-by-step guide for quickly searching and purchasing your name, and variations thereof, online
•Hazards of the Facebook Wall feature – and how it can take on a life of its own (“unfriending” does not turn back the clock, to say the least)
•How your business can cope with “complaint sites.”
Until the publication of “Violated Online,” there has been no “how-to” resource readily available for individuals and small business.”

“WILL THE READ AMERICA PLEASE STAND UP?”
By Henry Lamb
WorldNetDaily Exclusive Commentary
© 2011
October 14, 2011
Excerpt:
“The 100th anniversary of the election of Woodrow Wilson is in 2012. America may once again choose to continue its present course to the left set by President Obama and Washington Democrats, toward more and more Marxist philosophy in government policy. Or, America may choose to abandon Marxist philosophy and return to the limited government envisioned by our founders and enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
America went astray in 1912 with the election of Woodrow Wilson. It went further astray with the election of Roosevelt, Carter, Clinton and Obama. Tea-party activists exercised their concern by inspiring real Americans to send many House Democrats to the unemployment line in the 2010 election. The only hope for saving America from the Marxist philosophy so avidly demonstrated by the Wall Street protesters and the Washington Democrats is for the real Americans to please stand up, march into the voting booth in mass and kick Karl Marx and his Democratic admirers out of government entirely.”

I cannot understand the FBI saying that ISLAM is a RELIGION when it is NOT. Islam is a WAY OF LIFE. There is a difference. Goes to show the level of thought that seems to prevail in our FBI. So what else is new!
PEOPLE OF AMERICA,…………among us today we have some of the worst,COWARDS.and GENERAL CRIMINALS that have ever walked the earth. Today’s criminals make people like Al Capone,and others look like school children. Worse yet many of these people occupy high positions within our (ALLEGED) society. Many are securely barricaded in their little domains, and use their outside associates to do their slimey dirty work. In the end it is these outside associates who take the heat when push comes to shove. Some will WHINE and roll over on their “BOSSES”. They are like rats leaving a sinking ship. The body count will increase as we get closer to 2012,and ultimate justice.
Hopefully the still living residual Chicago political slime will see fit to change their ways,but I for one am not going to hold my breath! Every time the sun rises over Chicago, another criminal political perpetrator moves up one more notch. One gets busted,and two take his place! Until human decency prevails, NOTHING will EVER change in Chicago politics. You can prosecute every one of the perpetrators, but by and large the FED is really shovelling manure against the tide, because there are thousands of such perpetrators out there who think that they are smarter than everybody else,and they will get away with their political crime. Everybody who thinks this has FORGOTTEN that there is a group of people who are simply called WE THE PEOPLE. But alas, we the people seem to be showing a certain color……….and for some reason are afraid of the WORDSMITHS,and what they have to SAY. What the hell is the matter with our society?
For the PIMPLY FACED, NOSE PICKING. HAT ON BACKWARDS, ODOROUS crowd,if you think that living in a Socialist Marxist state would be so great and wonderful, you need to FIRST travel to Florida’s LITTLE HAVANA, and ask them why they risked their lives getting out of CUBA. Their answer will be FIDEL CASTRO. If you think he is such a GREAT MAN then take a long look at Cuba in general. It and it’s people have been in a DEEP FREEZE since Castro took over. You only need to know what Cuba ONCE WAS. Guess what………the same form of government is just around the corner in your neighborhood, if you don’t change your course.
