Obama Larry Sinclair Donald Young, Washington DC gathering, Presidents Park White House Sidewalk, Who murdered Donald Young?

“Why have so many forces expended so much time and money to attempt to silence Larry Sinclair?”…Citizen Wells

Quite a few people tied to Obama in Chicago and Illinois have been murdered or died under questionable circumstances. Donald Young was the choirmaster at TUCC, Barack Obama’s church and Obama knew Young.

From Larry Sinclair July 28, 2011.

“Larry’s Washington DC Gathering Guidelines (Join Us)”

We want to encourage as many of you as possible to join Larry and others in Presidents Park White House Sidewalk. While we want to encourage others to join in this First Amendment activity of  seeking Justice for Donald Young,  Larry wants to set out a few rules.

We will be on National Park Service property and we expect any and everyone who participates in this event to comply with NPS Rules at all times.

We will be on the White House Sidewalk and will at all times conduct ourselves in a polite and respectful manner. If at any time you are confronted by any counter protester you are asked to remain respectful and polite regardless of what any counter protestor might say or do.

The White House Sidewalk in Presidents Park also falls within the jurisdiction of the Uniformed Division of the United States Secret Service. If you are asked by anyone to leave the area, be polite and respectful and kindly inform them that you are participating in a First Amendment activity for which a Permit was obtained and that you are there legally.

In the event of any violations of the NPS Rules; anyone fails to conduct themselves in a peaceful, polite & respectful manner; or anyone creates any disruption of any other lawful activity you will be asked to leave.

We want people to understand that the purpose of these events are to ask for Barack & Michele Obama to answer questions about their relationship(s) with the murdered Donald Young and to seek Justice for Donald Young.

Participants are asked to carry hand made/hand held signs asking “Justice For Donald Young?” “Mr. Obama What Was The Secret Worth Donald Dying For?” In addition it would be great if participants would wear a simple white t-shirt with the image of Donald Young on the front & back

(you can make these with iron on transfers for less than $10.00) with the words “Justice for Donald Young” and “Mr. Obama What Was The Secret Worth Donald Dying For?” on the back.

Please contact Larry at larry@larrysinclair.org with any questions about next weeks White House gathering.”

Obama past surfaces again, Health Facilities Planning Board rigging, Pam Davis listening device

Obama past surfaces again, Health Facilities Planning Board rigging, Pam Davis listening device

“Why was Obama in constant contact with Tony Rezko in 2004 when Rezko was conspiring with William Cellini to use TRS, Teacher Retirement Fund, assets for political gain and personal enrichment?”…Citizen Wells

“Why did the Illinois Senate Health & Human Services Committee, with Obama as chairman, create and push Bill 1332, “Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act,” early in 2003, which reduced the number of members on the Board from 15 to 9, just prior to rigging by Tony Rezko and Rod Blagojevich?”…Citizen Wells

“I believe I’m more pristine on Rezko than him.”…Rod Blagojevich

Obama’s past corruption ties have surfaced again. This will continue to happen.

From Citizen Wells JUly 15, 2011.

“Obama and the US Justice Department must believe that they have done a masterful job of protecting Obama while aggressively prosecuting his corruption buddies. But the ghosts of Christmast past keep appearing.

Tony Rezko and Stuart Levine are awaiting sentencing. Rod Blagojevich will certainly appeal his convictions. William Cellini is awaiting trial in October 2011. And Daniel Frawley mentioned Rezko and Obama and $ 1.5 million dollars as well as Rezko’s old partner Daniel Mahru in a deposition December 1, 2010.”

I was pleased and amazed to see a reference to the Health Facilities Planning Board and Pam Davis in a Chicago Tribune article dated July 26, 2011.

“As the 18 jurors stood in a cramped freight elevator and left
theChicago federal building for the first time as a group, the woman
whom they later chose to be their leader said the sobering importance
of their task could be read on each face.

“There was a lot of stunned silence,” said Connie Wilson, a retired
Naperville church choral director who served as forewoman in the
recent retrial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. “There was a
lot of nerves, shocked expressions and even some tears.”

Wilson offered another glimpse Monday into the inner workings of the
federal jury that last month convicted Blagojevich on 17 of 20 counts
of fraud, corruption and attempted extortion.”

“Two members in the audience played an early but crucial role in the
FBI investigation that uncovered widespread corruption in
Blagojevich’s administration.

Pam Davis, CEO of Edward Hospital in Naperville, and William Kottmann,
CEO of Edward Medical Group, both secretly wore a listening device for
the FBI for eight months in 2003 after raising extortion complaints in
their bid to build a $218 million hospital inPlainfield.

Davis said they were told that If they hired builder Jacob Kiferbaum’s
firm, , the then-Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board would
support their plans. Later, Kiferbaum and health board member Stuart
Levine and Tony Rezko, a top Blagojevich fundraiser, either pleaded
guilty or were convicted on federal charges.

Listening to Wilson speak, Davis said she felt vindicated.

“There was fallout,” Davis said. “But I felt this man (Blagojevich)
was corrupt and his corruption was widespread. It was worth the effort
that he was finally convicted.””

From Citizen Wells March 14, 2011.

“Jan. – Aug. 2003:  Obama was Chairman of the IL Senate Health and Human Service Committee.
Feb. 20, 2003: Senate Bill 1332 “Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act” filed. Reduced members of IL Health Planning and Facilities Board from 15 to 9.

(Rezko Trial March 13, 2008; 3:09 p.m.)

“Almanaseer was appointed to the planning board in 2003 on Rezko’s recommendation. Prosecutors contend he became part of a five-member voting bloc on the board that followed Rezko’s wishes. Almanaseer said board Chairman Thomas Beck tried to steer his voting.

“He said, ‘If you just don’t know which way to vote, vote the way Mr. Levine votes because that’s the way Tony would want the vote to go,” Almanaseer recalled, referring to Stuart Levine.”

Spring 2003 – Nov 2003: (Rezko trial March 11, 2008; 10:58 a.m.)

“Jennifer Thomas, a former aide to Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s patronage chief Joe Cini, continued on the stand Tuesday morning and gave a few more insights into those regular Monday morning meetings she and Cini held in 2003 with Antoin “Tony” Rezko at his office.”

“Thomas said Rezko floated the names of several people to sit on the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board, which the government claims Rezko corrupted with the help of board member Stuart Levine. And Thomas said Rezko at one point made it clear that he wanted to see Levine reappointed to the panel, which was being overhauled by the governor in 2003.”
May 21, 2003: Senate Bill 1332 passed by House and Senate.
June 27, 2003: Blagojevich made this the effective date of Senate Bill 1332.
June 2003: (Rezko trial March 10, 2008; 4:16 p.m.)

“Ziegelmueller asked Hayden about a 2003 e-mail exchange with Lichtenstein, then the governor’s top lawyer, in which Wilhelm made recommendations for the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
The name of Barack Obama, the Democratic front-runner for the presidential nomination, also appears in the e-mail as a member of a strategic team reviewing hospital board matters with the governor’s staff when he was a state senator. The hospital board was scheduled to be revamped in the summer of 2003.
Obama was then chairman of the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services.”
June 30, 2003: Obama gets the following donations.

$5000 Ali Ata was appointed as Director at IFA
$6000 Alison Davis gets appointment on Investment Board
$15,000 Dr. Michael Malek gets appointment on Hospital Facility Board
$5000  Abdelhamid Chaib’s wife gets appointment on Employee Security Board
$10,000 Elie Maloof – Rezko used him as one of several strawmen to donate funds to certain politicians.
$1000  Phil Cacciatore (one of Auchi’s Riverside Park Investors) gets seat on Board
$1000  Velma Butler (one of Auchi’s Riverside Park Investors) was recommended for Board
$1000  Martello Pollack (Vegas Crystal Comm) received Iraqi Construction contracts
$1000 Jack Carriglio gets appointed to Board
$500  Anthony Abboud gets appointed to Board
$3000 Michael Winter, who helped Rezko in funneling kickbacks through investment firm
$1000 Talat Othman gets appointed to Board
$1000 David Gustman, $1000 from Gustman’s wife after he is appointed Board Chairman
Late 2003: Earliest documented awareness by FBI and Patrick Fitzgerald of corruption in Blagojevich admin. Pamela Meyer Davis agreed to secretly record conversations involving state health planning board with an FBI wire.”

Obama natural born citizen?, Obama born in Kenya?, Howard Coble and Congress must investigate, Obama birth certificate fraudulent

Posted on July 24, 2011 | 101 comments

Obama natural born citizen?, Obama born in Kenya?, Howard Coble and Congress must investigate, Obama birth certificate fraudulent

“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense,  to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

Why did multiple news sources before and during 2008 state that Obama was born in Kenya?…Citizen Wells

Beginning in 2007, proceeding into 2008 and to this day, Barack Obama has been asked to present a legitimate certified copy of his birth certificate and he has not done so. The image placed on WhiteHouse.gov has been proven to be fraudulent. Where was Obama born? We do not know.

By the time  that the Tony Rezko trial took place in early to mid 2008, I began hearing rumors that Obama was born in Kenya. After several months evidence began appearing that confirmed that Obama was born in Kenya. Then we found out that some of that evidence had been altered or scrubbed.

The first Citizen Wells article questioning Obama’s birthplace was presented on June 10, 2008. That article has received 89,057 views.

“Obama has been asked repeatedly to present a copy of his birth
certificate. Obama has refused to supply a copy of his birth
certificate. Is Obama eligible to be president?

Was Obama born in Kenya? I have two powerful sources that indicate
that Obama was born on Kenya. One is a reporter working behind the
scenes. The other is from the following site. The headline is shown
below and states:

“Kenyan-born OBAMA makes history…wins presidential nomination.””

The USA Africa Online article quoted above originally had this caption.

This was not the only reference to Obama being Kenyan that existed. From The Sunday Standard June 27, 2004.

Here is some more information on this story from the Post & Email October 14, 2009.

“2004 PIECE DISTRIBUTED WORLD-WIDE PUTS FOCUS ON TIMELINE OF CLAIMS
And 2008 AP Story Repeats the Claim!

UPDATE:   Federal Court requested to investigate AP Story

UPDATE Nov. 21, 2009: See our reply to the Snopes.com article rebutting this story.

by John Charlton

(Oct. 14, 2009) — What most people know is that the Associated Press (AP) is one of the largest, internationally recognized, syndicated news services.  What most people don’t know that is in 2004, the AP was a “birther” news organization.

How so?  Because in a syndicated report, published Sunday, June 27, 2004, by the Kenyan Standard Times, and which was, as of this report, available at

http://web.archive.org/web/20040627142700/eastandard.net/headlines/news26060403.htm

The AP reporter stated the following:

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

This report explains the context of the oft cited debate, between Obama and Keyes in the following Fall, in which Keyes faulted Obama for not being a “natural born citizen”, and in which Obama, by his quick retort, “So what? I am running for Illinois Senator, not the presidency”, self-admitted that he was not eligible for the office.  Seeing that an AP reporter is too professional to submit a story which was not based on confirmed sources (ostensibly the Obama campaign in this case), the inference seems inescapable: Obama himself was putting out in 2004, that he was born in Kenya.

The difficulty in finding this gem of a story is hampered by Google, which is running flak for Obama:  because if you search for “Kenyan-born US Senate” you wont find it, but if you search for the phrase without quotes you will find links which talk about it.”

I received the following email from CDR Charles Kerchner at 2:17 AM ET
on October 16, 2009.

“Since you are all covering this newly released/discovered webpage for
the June 27, 2004 article in your news sites and blogs, and that the
Obots are immediately labeling it a fake, I thought I’d share with you
a video recorded by a volunteer research on July 9th, 2009 showing the
documentation of the existence of the article’s page being found on
the net early this year, but contents scrubbed … but then in early
July the volunteer researcher found two copies in TWO (2) Way Back
Time Machine process archives servers at two locations in the world.
The second system has not been revealed as of this time before, as of
yet that I know of, while the first one was found and revealed by
someone yesterday. This video evidence we had been saving is hereby
being shown to you for news release via an attached video piece done
by the researcher that shows that the June 27th, 2004 article found is
not fake and existed on the net for quite some time and copies of the
article were inventoried and were still in the Way Back Time Machine
at two separate sites in the world on 9 July 2009.”

To:

Congressman Howard Coble,

Members of Congress

Here is what we know:

Obama has not released a legitimate certified copy of his birth certificate.

Obama has employed private attorneys and US Justice Department attorneys at taxpayer expense for 3 years to avoid presenting a birth certificate and college records.

The image place on WhiteHouse.gov, purporting to be Obama’s birth certificate, is clearly fraudulent.

We do not know where Obama was born.

Based on the evidence, why should we believe that Obama was not born in Kenya.

I am demanding an immediate investigation by Congress. 

I believe that I speak for millions of concerned Americans.

July 25 2011 Blagojevich appeal deadline, Wiretaps sealed, 2 percent of recordings reveal Obama connections

Posted on July 22, 2011 | 57 comments

July 25 2011 Blagojevich appeal deadline, Wiretaps sealed, 2 percent of recordings reveal Obama connections

“Why was Obama in constant contact with Tony Rezko in 2004 when Rezko was conspiring with William Cellini to use TRS, Teacher Retirement Fund, assets for political gain and personal enrichment?”…Citizen Wells

“I believe I’m more pristine on Rezko than him.”…Rod Blagojevich

“There is enough corruption in Illinois so that all it takes is someone who is serious about finding it to uncover it. If a U.S. attorney is not finding corruption in Illinois, they’re not seriously looking for it.”…Northwestern Law Professor James Lindgren

Rod Blagojevich has until July 25, 2011 to appeal his convictions. The denial by Judge Zagel of the defense motion to unseal the wiretap evidence may be justification enough.

From Citizen Wells July 18, 2011.

The Federal rules on discovery are crystal clear.

“Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure”

“IV. ARRAIGNMENT AND PREPARATION FOR TRIAL > Rule 16.

Rule 16. Discovery and Inspection

(a) Government’s Disclosure.

(1) Information Subject to Disclosure.”

“(B) Defendant’s Written or Recorded Statement.

Upon a defendant’s request, the government must disclose to the defendant, and make available for inspection, copying, or photographing, all of the following:

(i) any relevant written or recorded statement by the defendant if:

•the statement is within the government’s possession, custody, or control; and
•the attorney for the government knows — or through due diligence could know — that the statement exists;”

Only 2 percent of the wiretaps were released. From that small amount we learn the following.

With this much information revealed about Obama in 2 percent of the wiretaps, the other 98 percent should have enough to hang him. Of course the US Justice Department and Obama’s buddy Eric Holder won’t let that happen.

Social Security entitlement?, We paid they wasted, Congress gets entitlements, Real ponzi scheme

Posted on July 22, 2011 | 33 comments

Social Security entitlement?, We paid they wasted, Congress gets entitlements, Real ponzi scheme

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”…Abraham Lincoln

Social Security entitlement? My ass. Every time I hear that word I get furious. We paid, the ones of us who worked, into this system and were given no choice in the matter. The following email resonated with me.

“What the “H” is wrong?

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30K over your working life, that’s close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer’s contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. Pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you’d have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, and that’s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you’d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

I didn’t try to clean up the language in this message. It makes a better impact as it is.
Entitlement my ass , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money , doesn’t make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits , aka. Free healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that’s welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!!”

“What the HELL’s wrong??? WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!”

And by the way Rush Limbaugh, I have heard you refer to social security as a entitlement. I hope that you were being sarcastic.

ATF Whistleblower retaliation by Justice Department, Fast and Furious probe, Senator Charles Grassley warning

Posted on July 21, 2011 | 11 comments

ATF Whistleblower retaliation by Justice Department, Fast and Furious probe, Senator Charles Grassley warning

“Why did Attorney General Eric Holder lie to Congress about ATF Operation “Fast and Furious”?…Citizen Wells

“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense,  to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

From NPR July 21, 2011.

“ATF Whistleblower Case Triggers Retaliation Inquiry”

“The Justice Department’s inspector general has opened an investigation into possible retaliation against a whistle-blowing agent at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to two people briefed on the inquiry.

Watchdogs are examining whether anyone at the Justice Department improperly released internal correspondence to try to smear ATF agent John Dodson, who told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last month that he repeatedly warned supervisors about what he called a reckless law enforcement operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate have spent months pursuing allegations that the ATF may have knowingly allowed assault weapons to enter Mexico in order to try to build bigger criminal cases against violent drug cartels that make use of AK-47s and other American weapons.

In recent days, GOP lawmakers have demanded information about what the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and senior Justice Department leaders may have known about the investigation into gun trafficking along the Southwest border and the strategies that agents pursued.

“Simply put, during this operation … we, the ATF, failed to fulfill one of our most fundamental obligations: to caretake the public trust [and], in part, to keep guns out of the hands of criminals,” Dodson told lawmakers last month.

Many of the guns purchased by straw buyers in Arizona at gun shops under ATF surveillance in 2009 and 2010 later turned up at the scenes of violent crime, including the murder last December of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Officials say tests are inconclusive about whether the weapons found near Terry’s body were used to shoot him. Terry’s family has hired former Arizona U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton to look into filing a wrongful death claim.

Dodson and three other ATF agents told Congress in June that they had serious concerns about Fast and Furious, but they said they couldn’t get any of their supervisors to listen.

Now, the inspector general is looking into whether one of Dodson’s memos, written last year, may have been shared with reporters in an effort to raise doubts about the extent of his involvement in the operation and to discredit him.”

Chicago Tribune can journalism survive Murdoch?, Sean Hannity journalism died in 2008, Citizen Wells welcome to the age of Big Brother

Posted on July 21, 2011 | 12 comments

Chicago Tribune can journalism survive Murdoch?, Sean Hannity journalism died in 2008, Citizen Wells welcome to the age of Big Brother

“the Times of the nineteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones.”…George Orwell, “1984”

“The past, he reflected, had not merely been altered, it had
actually been destroyed. For how could you establish, even
the most obvious fact when there existed no record outside
your own memory?”…George Orwell, “1984″
“The (American) press, which is mostly controlled by vested
interests, has an excessive influence on public opinion.”… Albert Einstein

I would have chuckled at the recent Chicago Tribune headline except for the fact that this is so damn scary.

“Can journalism survive Murdoch?”

From the Chicago Tribune July 20, 2011.

“Inevitably, someone will rise to the generic defense of journalism and give Murdoch “victim” status, but that would be very wrong.

I am not suggesting that Murdoch, the modern day media equivalent of, at the very least, the East India Trading Co., knew that his minions were hacking phone and email accounts and corrupting police officers and whatnot.

But he certainly set the tone.

Bottom feeding, a key management strategy in a fractured British journalism that aims very sophisticated, gritty publications at every level of the culture, will do that.

As anyone in media can tell you, there’s a fortune to be made in giving people what they think they want. This development has already transformed American journalism.

Reporters are now advised to be marketers and fundraisers and advertising-sensitive purveyors of events aimed at “building audience.” You have to bring your ‘tude to political reporting, too, just like Rush Limbaugh and Rachel Maddow and all the rest.

Regular old-fashioned news (as honest a report as one can create of something that happened a minute ago) just isn’t good enough anymore.”

“Murdoch’s debacle, which started quite some time ago with Fleet Street level competition for “news” so bold a pirate would be aghast, may well bring down his empire. (It has already led to shuttering of News of the World, a screamer of a Sunday paper, England’s biggest, that made bottom feeding one of its key menu items).

The scandal may also eventually undermine David Cameron’s government, which has been cozy with the media baron and his associates over time, and lead to even more embarrassment for the police. There were bribes to cops for information. Two key authorities have already stepped down and, my guess is, more will be saying farewell.

What does it all mean to American journalism?

First, as journalism continues to mutate and re-create itself and become even more audience obsessed, it’s pleasant to think of a time when reporters saw themselves as defenders of what was right, of the interests of the people.

There may well not have been a civil rights era in America without the press and TV news. And while John F. Kennedy may have been the president who called for a trip to the moon, Walter Cronkite was the national host who raised the engineering and physics of space travel to poetry and read it right into the living rooms of the nation.

Yes, things have changed.

The people who decided journalism was a profit center managed to squeeze the profit very well. They did not simply throw out the baby with the bath water, they simply crushed the little critter.”

This is a good article from the Tribune. However, what happened over at the Chicago Tribune? In the years leading up to and through the Tony Rezko trial, the Tribune did a pretty good job of reporting. After that, with the exception of John Kass, the Chicago Tribune  in lockstep with the rest of the mainstream media has given Obama a free ride. Where is the reporting on Obama and his ties to Chicago corruption and Operation Board Games as well as Obama’s eligibility issues? And what about the multiple articles from the Tribune disappearing. Were they hitting too close to home?

In 2008, Sean Hannity stated that journalism died.

It is worse than that. Starting way before 2008, “news” organizations began morphing into entertainment sites and ultimately brainwashing tools for the Big Brother of cash and ideological control.

Welcome to the age of Big Brother.

Donald Trump still skeptical, Obama birth certificate, Settling the controversy once and for all?, Citizen Wells trumps Trump

Donald Trump still skeptical, Obama birth certificate, Settling the controversy once and for all?, Citizen Wells trumps Trump

“Why has Obama, since taking the White House, used Justice Department Attorneys, at taxpayer expense,  to avoid presenting a legitimate birth certificate and college records?”…Citizen Wells and millions of concerned Americans

“And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed
–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into
history and became truth. “Who controls the past,” ran the
Party slogan, “controls the future: who controls the present
controls the past.”…George Orwell, “1984″

From the Daily Caller July 21, 2011.

“Trump still skeptical of Obama’s birth certificate”

“Now that he’s no longer interested in a run for the White House, at least for the time being,  it would make sense for real estate mogul Donald Trump to drop the whole “birther controversy” subject, right?

But Trump isn’t. In an appearance on Wednesday’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” on CNN, Trump revisited the topic and refuted claims of racism. However, he added there are still some questions surrounding President Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

“The word racist has not been applied to me, I will tell you that,” Trump said. “But I was very proud of the job I did with respect to the birther issue, because I got Obama to do something which nobody else was able to get him to do. And there’s a real question as to why he took so long to do it. Maybe one of these days you’ll have to ask him why. And you have to check out that document very carefully.”

Trump said he was proud of the progress he made in settling the controversy once and for all.”

“As soon as all the corrections which happened to be necessary in any partiucular number of the Times had been assembled and collated, that number would be reprinted, the original copy destroyed, and the corrected copy placed on the files in it’s stead. This process of continuation alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound tracks, cartoons, photographs–to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to be correct; nor was any item of news, or expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to be on record.”…George Orwell, “1984″

“When you pick up your morning or evening newspaper and think
you are reading the news of the world, what you are reading
is a propaganda which has been selected, revised, and doctored
by some power which has a financial interest in you.”
…. Upton Sinclair

From the LA Times July 19, 2011.
“The Justice Department is trying to protect its political appointees from the Fast and Furious scandal by concealing an internal “smoking gun” report and other documents that acknowledge the role top officials played in the program that allowed firearms to flow illegally into Mexico, according to the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Kenneth E. Melson, the ATF’s acting director, also told congressional investigators this month that the affidavits prepared to obtain wiretaps used in the ill-fated operation were inconsistent with Justice Department officials’ public statements about the program. Justice Department officials advised him not to raise his concerns with Congress about “institutional problems” with the Fast and Furious operation, Melson said.

 
“It was very frustrating to all of us,” Melson told congressional investigators in a private meeting over the Fourth of July holiday, “and it appears thoroughly to us that the department is really trying to figure out a way to push the information away from their political appointees at the department.”

Not only was the department slow to react, Melson said, but Justice Department officials indicated they did not want him to cooperate with Congress.

A transcript of his comments was released Monday by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Melson said he wasn’t attempting to shield his agency from its share of the blame. He acknowledged an instance in which his agents failed to intercept high-powered weapons when they could have.

“The deputy attorney general’s office wasn’t very happy with us” at the ATF, Melson said, “because they thought this was an admission that there were mistakes made. Well, there were some mistakes made.””
“The intent of Fast and Furious was to allow illegal straw purchasers to buy guns so ATF agents could follow the weapons and ferret out gun-smuggling routes into Mexico. But many of the approximately 1,700 weapons eluded tracing — some even before they were shipped over the border.

Nearly 200 of the weapons were later found at crime scenes in Mexico, and two were recovered at the scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent’s slaying in Arizona in December.

Melson said the Justice Department repeatedly thwarted his attempts to tell investigators about the failures of Fast and Furious, which was run out of the ATF’s Phoenix field office. When the ATF reassigned managers in Phoenix, he said, “the department resisted” his offer to tell Congress about the changes. Melson said he was told not to issue any news releases about Fast and Furious and was instructed not to brief rank-and-file ATF agents about the growing scandal.”

Remember the Orwellian attempt by Media Matters to discredit the Fox report on “Fast and Furious” and the Arizona connection?

From Citizen Wells July 8, 2011.

“Media Matters, is the following an Orwellian word smithing and attempt to discredit the report?

“In fact, stimulus funds earmarked for Project Gunrunner were not distributed in Arizona, where a GOP report indicates Fast and Furious took place.”

We know that the ATF purchased the weapons for Project Gunrunner, aka Fast and Furious. The Stimulus Bill paragraph states:

“to provide  assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the
Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to 
combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern
border”

Arizona is still on the southern border isn’t it?”

Blagojevich appeal strategy will reveal more about setup, Protecting Obama, Crucify Blagojevich or off the hook?

Posted on July 19, 2011 | 56 comments

Blagojevich appeal strategy will reveal more about setup, Protecting Obama, Crucify Blagojevich or off the hook?

“Why was Obama in constant contact with Tony Rezko in 2004 when Rezko was conspiring with William Cellini to use TRS, Teacher Retirement Fund, assets for political gain and personal enrichment?”…Citizen Wells

“I believe I’m more pristine on Rezko than him.”…Rod Blagojevich

“There is enough corruption in Illinois so that all it takes is someone who is serious about finding it to uncover it. If a U.S. attorney is not finding corruption in Illinois, they’re not seriously looking for it.”…Northwestern Law Professor James Lindgren

We await the appeal of Rod Blagojevich. He was convicted of most counts remaining after counts 1,2 and 4 were removed by the Justice Department. You know, the Justice Department headed by liar and Obama buddy Eric Holder. As reported here yesterday, denying the motion from the Blagojevich defense team to unseal recorded conversations that were wiretapped, appears to be a huge argument to support the appeal and possibly part of the setup. The question is, was Blagojevich picked as the fall guy or will he end up with a slap on the wrist?

From the defense motion.

“A Protective Order was entered on the evidence in this case on April 14, 2009. Blagojevich has made prior requests to release recordings and other evidence in this case (the most recent filing of this nature was on February 8, 2011, Pacer Document #602). The instant request is of a global nature and requests that the Protective Order be lifted in its entirety.”

“The defense is put in the disadvantaged position of having to examine all filings to be sure the Protective Order has not been violated. The defense must also carefully craft arguments in such a manner to not violate the Protective Order. This impairs counsel‟s ability to vigorously and zealously defend Blagojevich. Yet the government is not circumscribed at all by the Protective Order. It is a fundamentally unfair playing field.”

“A recent example: Blagojevich filed a Motion for Discovery to Obtain Contents of Missing Telephone Calls, which was heavily and painstakingly redacted prior to filing.”
“Indeed, the parameters for recording wiretapped conversations are such that the F.B.I. is only to record conversations that it believes are pertinent to the charges that form the basis for the wiretap authorization. With thousands of recordings, making up many hundreds of hours, one would think the government would seek to play as much as possible to meet its heavy burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. However, the opposite is true – the government has released and played in court only fractions of a fraction (approximately 2%) of the recordings. If Blagojevich has violated the law, as the government alleges, why would the government seek to keep the evidence under lock and key?”

“If the prosecution is indeed interested in the truth, and not just seeking a notch-in-the-belt conviction, then the government should not challenge this request to lift the Protective Order.”

““The public prosecutor cannot take as a guide for the conduct of his office the standards of an attorney appearing on behalf of an individual client. The freedom elsewhere wisely granted to a partisan advocate must be severely curtailed if the prosecutor‟s duties are to be properly discharged. The public prosecutor must recall that he occupies a dual role, being obligated, on the one hand, to furnish that adversary element essential to the informed decision of any controversy, but being possessed, on the other, of important governmental power that are pledged to the accomplishment of one objective only, that of impartial justice. Where the prosecutor is recreant to the trust implicit in his office, he undermines confidence, not only in his profession, but in government and the very ideal of justice itself.””

“Moreover, the Protective Order prevents the whole truth from being heard. This not only violates the prosecution‟s ethical duties to „do justice‟ but instead leads to a vast injustice against Blagojevich.”

Regardless of how this plays out, it benefits Obama. If there is no appeal or the appeal is denied, Blagojevich will be sequestered. If the appeal proceeds, it could drag out beyond impacting the 2012 election cycle. The intent is obvious.

We got the following from 2% of the wiretaps that were released. What damning comments are contained in the rest?
