New whistleblower claims fraud at Census (Obama admin took-over Census and Treasury)
NY POST ^ | 11/10/14 | JOHN CRUDELE

Posted on 11/11/2014 3:48:44 AM PST by Liz

CRUDELE: I began investigating when I was told Census data collectors were inventing interviews....and of possible financial mis-doings on contracts, expenses, maybe even pension funds. Four of the six Census regions apparently falsified economic data. Philadelphia, NY, Atlanta, LA, Chicago and Denver Census Offices have million dollar tax-paid budgets w/ little oversight.

A couple weeks ago, the whistleblower — Ivan Irizarry, lead scientist at Census’ Demographic Statistical Methods Division — came to me out of frustration.

The UofM contract was never put up for competitive bid....and was the most costly and most interesting: Robert Groves, who was picked by President Obama in 2009 to head Census, was a UofM professor the contract was inked. In fact, Groves taught in the same division — the Dept of Joint Program for Survey Method — that was working for Census. And the deal continued after Groves was tapped by Obama. Whistleblower Irizarry says he always felt that was one reason was he was getting nowhere.

Groves left Census in 2012 and now teaches at Georgetown. He didn’t respond to an e-mail I sent. I briefly spoke with a UofM spokeswoman, but she didn’t call me back after I told her the nature of my inquiry. The Census IG’s office wouldn’t comment.

When the whistleblower found what he believed to be fraud in the granting of a $2 million annual contract to the UofM, he reported it to his immediate superiors.....all the way up the chain of command...the Commerce Department’s Inspector General, the agency that monitors Census. After that, he wrote to the Office of Special Counsel, to his senator, Ben Cardin (D-Md.), and to the White House and the FBI....and nothing happened....except he suddenly got a bad performance review and was suspended. That all began in 2010.

With the Census safely and invisibly under Obola’s (corrupt Chicago democrat) control, they can “create” 4 to 12 democrat Congressional seats in “safe” blue states for the next twenty years.

If under democrat control through TWO Census, the false reporting of the first can be concealed even longer. (Assume appeals after the first fraud comes out - IF it even does get counted accurately in 2020! - and so no change until 2030. Then THAT gets appealed ...)

This “college professor” was the one leading the “statistical adjustments” that just magically “corrected” the undercounts of assumed blacks and minorities during the 2010 census.

Do you really think that Obola’s Census Bureau would audit or investigate or correct for “over-counted” downtown buildings that were “filled” with 1000 people overnight on blacked out dark street corners filled with abandoned buildings in 2010?

Look at the relative voting differentials in each of those cities, too.
