Excellent research! Let’s pass it around a bit!
Believe it or not, just over the last few days since Blago’s arrest. Unfortunately, I’ve gone through so much info and research it would be hard to pinpoint references. But the info is out there. Most of it would come from seeing one name mentioned in connection with another, then matching that with Obama or cross-referencing the various names. Quite a few of the names also came from the case against Rezko. I have a feeling a lot of info has been scrubbed though because I would come across news about Blago and Obama (together) and the page would not be found. However, I would find other stories even older that would still be available.
PHOENIX, May I suggest you send it to Drudge, Rush, Foxnews: Oreilly, Greta, Hannity....Insist their researchers verify the information....That you are but a novice (wink wink)
Freepers lets’ get this information out!
(btw Have read similar materials trying to link Resco, Mrs. Blank-O and the Obamas...Your’s takes the cake!
There’s a great series of articles by Evelyn Pringle regarding Rezko, Obama, Blagojevich, and Operation Board Games. Left-wing websites have removed them, but some other websites have left them in place.
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0804/S00064.htm
Hope you did a screen grab on those older pages, or otherwise saved the content in some reliable manner. They’ll be gone soon enough.
Great analysis!
Many more connections between University of Chicago, Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Ayers, Pritzker, etc.
Great articles... and even expands on a lot of what I was able to find. Hollywood producer as a Co-Schemer? So there were eight altogether. And it lists a lot more names than I was able to find. I read there were 3 doctors, but was only able to find Massuda’s name. These detail just how deep the corruption runs, great find.
Also, I notice that you mentioned Myron M. “Mike” Cherry. He’s an attorney in Chicago with an office right across LaSalle Street from City Hall. Mike chain-smokes cigars so that he isn’t overwhelmed by the stench of corruption coming from across the street.
He’s got a four-foot stuffed animal — you know, like a children’s toy — in the lobby of his office. It’s a donkey. There’s a framed photo of Mike Cherry jogging with President Bill Clinton hanging on the wall.
You get the idea.
Mike donated $50,000 to Blagojevich’s campaign for the governor’s office in 2002. By some weird coincidence, Mike got a contract from the State of Illinois to investigate unethical practices in the insurance industry, much like Eliot Spitzer’s investigations in New York before he became governor of that state. Mike got millions of dollars in attorney fees from that contract.
Blago’s father-in-law is Dick Mell, a ward boss in the Cook County political machine. Mell is also a Chicago alderman. After it came to light that Blago was cheating on his wife, Dick Mell was quoted in the media as saying that Blago was in the habit of using people and throwing them away.
Mell also said that all you had to do, in order to get a million-dollar contract from the State of Illinois, was to donate $50,000 to Blago’s re-election campaign. Because he mentioned that specific dollar amount, I’m pretty sure that he was talking about Mike Cherry.
Good work Phoenix....I found the most comprehensive info on the Compact was Evelyn Pringle, the free lance author of what should be the award-winning series of articles Operation Board Games and Curtain Time for Obama, all posted here at RBO, the Real Barack Obama:

Just How Dirty Are Chicago Politics?

The way little Lisa Madigan has piously sought to portray herself as a corruption fighter for the people during this whole debacle makes me sick. Lisa Madigan is JUST as corrupt as Blago, she just hasn’t been caught with her hand in the cookie jar yet! She looked the other way for YEARS while Chicago machine corruption ran rampant, but NOW that Blago’s been caught with the smoking gun, she demands his ouster immediately, so we can go back to “business as usual” — due process be damned.
The Chicago machine wants Blago out of the way ASAP now that he’s damaged goods. The need to have Crook County corruption swept under the rug and that’s not possible as long as he’s the face of the IL RATs.
Lisa Madigan is trying to bypass the legal procedures for removing a governor and invoke an obscure clause used in emergencies to remove elected officials who suffer from illness. If we allow this to go forward and let the A.G. and four judges remove a Governor on a whim, it will set a dangerous precedent for future governors. Basically, five people (A.G. + 4 judges) in a closed door meeting would be able to remove whoever they wanted for whatever reason! Little Lisa says we can’t wait for impeachment. Of course this all could have been prevented if we VOTERS had the power of RECALL like 35 other states, but oh yeah, the Chicago machine fought tooth and nail AGAINST giving voters that power when it was brought up in the last election cycle, remember Lisa? Looks like you reap what you sow.
I urge everyone to call the A.G.’s office and the IL SC on Monday, and give them hell about this. You want to remove the Governor, do it thur the proper process!! Let’s have an open, public, impeachment trial and make the case that Blago is unfit to serve.
NO BACKROOM DEALS!!!

You know I didn’t see JJ or JJJ name mentioned once in that 16 page long article.....Infact it seems that quite a few people of color were living in cold substandard housing because of Obama et al.
More connections for “the Fitzmas list”

“Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents linking Valerie Jarrett, an advisor to Barack Obama and the co-chairman of the President-Elect’s transition team, to a series of real estate scandals, including several housing projects operated by convicted felon and Obama fundraiser/friend Antoin “Tony” Rezko.
*snip*
Jarrett was a member of the Board of Directors for the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corporation along with several Davis and Rezko associates, as well as the Fund for Community Redevelopment and Revitalization, an organization that worked with Rezko and Davis.”
~~~
“Earlier this year The Boston Globe reported on the stunning failures of Jarrett’s companies. “Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this [past] winter and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.”
*snip*
Valerie Jarrett served as a board member for several organizations that provided funding and support for Chicago housing projects operated by real estate developers and Obama financial backers Rezko and Allison Davis. (Davis is also Obama’s former boss.)..”

LMAO @ sionnsar, getting worried? BWAHHHAHAHAHA

Team Obama did it the right way....flooding us with so much malfeasance it is impossible to keep track of it all. I feel like Mel Gibson's character in Conspiracy Theory.
Worried? No, I was just responding to: “I posted this as a vanity because I’m still kind of new to this and didn’t want to list it incorrectly. :)”
DONNA SCHWAN was the realtor for Obama’s house. She thought the lot next door deal was weir4d because bama’s never expressed any interest or said a word about the lot.
