Auchi was very involved in the Oil For Food scam and I would bet dollars to donuts that some of that Oil For Food loot ended up in Obama’s pocket via Rezko and Auchi. Obama was one of the very few US state senators and politicos screaming about going into Iraq from the very beginning(just like many of those in Europe and here who were being paid by Saddam’s men to lift the sanctions). I believe that is one of the bombshells that the punk is hiding.
Color me surprised .. from Chicagoan James Warren in the NYT:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*snip*
The absence of Christopher Kelly, a confidant and chief fund-raiser for Mr. Blagojevich, deprived us. Indicted three times and convicted twice, Mr. Kelly was to go on trial with Mr. Blagojevich. Not long after telling the news media, “My life is over,” he killed himself.
Having declined to flip for the government, imagine the secrets he took to the grave. What did he know that we don’t?
*snip*
without testimony from Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr., we wonder about a Loop restaurant meeting Mr. Jackson held with Ragu Nayak and Rajinder Bedi, loyalists who allegedly angled to give Blago money if he picked their guy for the Senate. Is it benign blue-skying or illegal conniving?
Then there’s no Tony Rezko, the convicted swindler and once-respected developer deemed so untrustworthy that neither side beckoned him from prison.
The defense sees Mr. Rezko as a slimy manipulator who was putty in Mr. Blagojevich’s hands. But his absence leaves much unclear, including details on a $10 billion state bond issuance in 2003 to bolster pension funds.
It’s the sort of under-the-radar deal that we in the news media rarely mention or understand. We’re left hanging as to what was going on between Mr. Rezko and Robert Kjellander, a Springfield lobbyist and former Republican National Committee treasurer.
Rest here

My computer went completely down when I tried to send you a link to CCT...Most history on the above can be found there. Start a link and read next fifty or so posts.

From link on 35.
Antoin Rezko’s money man and “close friend” is London based Iraqi billionaire Nadhmi Auchi who is one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the corporate, banking, political and real estate world. It is Nadhmi Auchi who funded Antoin Rezko. Nadhmi Auchi wired 3.5 million dollars to Rezko weeks before Barack Obama and Antoin Rezko made that controversial land deal. Nadhmi Auchi wired another 3.5 million from a Lebanon bank to Rezko at the beginning of his trial. When the authorities found out, he had to stay in custody for his portion of the trial because they thought he was a flight risk.
Nadhmi Auchi owns a great deal of real estate in Chicago and is reported to collect politicians like some people collect stamps.
Meant to ping you all to above.
Graphic is GREAT!
Could you add lights and a horn to resemble a bus to the cello case?
Remember the GIo family is connected to the mob. Also note the Albanian comment shortly after 35...That person just disappeared as soon as the message was sent....Hmmmm????
Now what countries does the drug/poppy route from Afganistan go through? And why are we REALLY not closing the boarder with Mexico? Drugs and Guns...illegal and high money for whom?
Thanks very much to all of you!
Wow! Mind boggling.
I keep thinking of Alvin Greene for some reason.
