thanks for the ping.

Lucy, if you haven't been pinged, this may interest you:

In addition to the Rod Blagojevich pay-for-play probe, Obama could figure in the upcoming fraud trial of Norman Hsu, the disgraced Democratic fundraiser who was charged last year with operating a $60 million pyramid scheme.

This is the same Norman Hsu who failed to appear in court last year for fleeing a sentencing hearing for a prior charge. His lawyer at the time said that Hsu thought he was getting on a BART train to the courthouse, but got on the wrong train (Amtrak cross-country). Never mind that BART doesn't go to the courthouse.

Hsu was also laundering money through a Daly City family (Paw), the husband being a mailman and the wife a truant officer.

I think the MSM downplayed the Hsu story at the time because it interfered with the Republican Jack Abramoff "culture of corruption" mantra since the 2006 mid-term elections.

I actually think the media downplayed the Norman Hsu story because he was a bundler listed in the investigation that Fred Thompson headed up back in Chinagate.

Fred Thompson’s Chinagate report:

Didn’t Hsu have a medical emergency and spent a few days in a hospital after evac’d from that Amtrak train?

Also, pardon the tinfoil, but I detect a whiff of Able Danger here.

Oh yes, I remember the stories of Norman Hsu and the ‘attempted suicide’.

Yea, I agree totally with the Able Danger smell.

I still have some of the threads marked that said Chinagate led to 9/11

Boy did those threads get beat up with tin foil balls.

The Obama-Hsu connection kind of explains all we couldn’t figure out with AD, in retrospect, doesn’t it?

There were king-makers busy making our new King.

Good Lord....

It's true that Hsu was a bundler for Hillary. It's also true that Hsu listed the Paw residence as his own residence, too. And it's also true that the Paws donated to the DNC more than their net worth would suggest.

This has all been documented in the news.

After turning himself in on an old conviction, Hsu fled sentencing on that conviction. He was found a week later on an Amtrak train, presumably dehydrated and disoriented. He was taken to a hospital to recover. I lost track of the story after that.

And Maya is married to a Ng.

And ‘Mark’ Obama runs a server in China that is financially connected to Auchi.

And the Company that runs the server was nicknamed Tiger Song by NATO for helping Saddam kill our men.

Oh, did we forget that Auchi funded the overthrow of Iraq to Saddam?

Gee, Obama financially tied to Auchi? Should we be shocked?

Obama is going to make the Grant and Clinton administrations seem pure and clean by comparison.

All we can hope is that W put enough good guys in all the alphabet agencies to resist this taking over by China.

Interesting times, indeed.

I hope W innoculated us as best he could.

I think we are seeing why Obama is trying to get his transition team in before he is even ‘officially’ President Elect.

And, from the funny looks of the NARA site, he may not be President Elect. I see some votes missing from here:
