The Obamas, Movin’ On Up

Lost But Now He Is Found, Poor Drunk Uncle Omar Obama

Corruption and Lies seem to be a tradition in the Obama family.

Every family has a “Black Sheep,” someone who embarrasses the family by getting drunk and in trouble. It’s possible some of us have relatives who are illegal aliens on the public dole and have repeatedly defied deportation orders: thankfully, not many of us fit into that category. However, not many drunk relatives tell arresting officers to call the White House, presumably before they do something stupid.

“Omar” or Onyango Obama is the long lost brother Kenyan half-brother of President Obama’s father. The same Uncle Omar mentioned by Bill Ayers in the best selling autobiography “Dreams From My Father”, the life story of President Obama as portrayed by the unrepentant terrorist, Bill Ayers. Although he was mentioned in the book, our president is wishing his drunken uncle would behave himself or live in the shadows.

Drunk Uncle Omar Obama was driving drunk after leaving the Chicken Bone Saloon and barely missed hitting a squad car. When he was pulled over, he demanded that he be allowed to call the White House in a belligerent manner. The cops didn’t find the drunk name dropper all that impressive; a drunk illegal alien with a long rap sheet had run down and killed a 23 year old Milford, Mass. man, two weeks earlier.

Open-borders and Open Society advocates of George Soros philosophy consider drunken Obamas to be “harmless”. However, drunken Uncle Omar has defied two court orders to leave the country. He also owes thousands in back taxes and has a fraudulent Social Security Card and has evaded authorities for 50 years.

The court policy that allows the drunk criminals like Omar Obama to simply stay in the country is the “voluntary departure” system that allows illegal aliens to evade the police and deportation for years. Omar lost his first deportation hearing in 1989, he lost a second time with the Board of Immigration Appeals in 1992.

Uncle Omar joined the ranks of an estimated 400,000 to 700,000 illegal aliens who give the law a one finger salute and look upon disregarding America’s Immigration Laws as a right or entitlement.

Drunk Uncle Omar will now be represented by the same Ohio law firm that fought the deportation of President Obama’s indigent welfare collecting aunt, Aunt Zeituni Onyango. Zeituni landed in the US in 2000 on a temporary visa and sought asylum in 2004. She was denied asylum and refused to leave. She hid with relatives in public housing for years before winning a second bid to stay in the US, a country she seems to despise.

Both parties play games with the immigration issues to win votes from the ever growing illegal demographic. Yes, illegals seem to be able to vote, have driver licenses, and Social Security numbers. Especially those who are here illegally and are related to our president.

Aunt Zeituni Onyango, Ward Of The State, Perpetual Welfare Recipient, President's Aunt, Former Illegal Alien

President Bush told Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop deportations until after the 2008 election, when Aunt Zeituni was caught and identified as an Illegal Alien in October of 2008. Thank you former President Bush.

The question remains, how many more of these Obama welfare recipients are we going to be asked to support for the rest of their natural lives in a state of permanent Welfare and Public Housing. Our former inept and clueless President, Jimmy Carter, only had one embarrassing relative, Brother Billy, the one who inspired Billy Beer and became a cultural icon and a standing joke. At least, Billy was humorous; Zeituni and Omar are far from humorous.

We might remember the case of Gazi Ibrahim Abu Mezer, a Palestinian bomb builder by trade; he immigrated to the US illegally (considered legal by Napolitano and Obama) in 1996 through Canada. He claimed political asylum from alleged persecution by Israelis, was released on a $5,000 bond posted by another illegal, then skipped his asylum hearing. His lawyer dropped his asylum claim and a federal judge issued a laughable “voluntary departure order”. Obviously, illegal aliens who enter the country illegally or not interested in leaving the country voluntarily. He later joined a New York City group that was formulating a bombing plot and was arrested after his roommate tipped off local police. And once again we have another example of the DHS being on the ball and defending our country.

“Always remember. Never forget.” Words, just words.

A citizen is rebuffed by a judge for trying to unravel the nefarious facts concerning the president’s dubious Social Security Number.

Unfortunately for the plaintiff, today is not her lucky day.

Democrat Caught Red-Handed

Curt — Mon, 11 Dec 2006 03:50:45 +0000

The House Ethics Committee has released its report (download a searchable version here) on the Foley scandal and there is a few interesting facts inside of it. Specifically the number of Democrats who knew about Foley’s conduct. It all began when Matt Miller, Communications Director for the Democratic Caucus, got his hands on the emails. He shared them with a few newspapers and then:

Miller testified that also during the fall of 2005, in part as a "gut check" regarding his impression of the e-mails, he provided the e-mails to the communications director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee ("DCCC"). Miller testified that he was not aware of what actions his DCCC counterpart may have taken with respect to the e-mails, but he expected that he would share them with the press. Miller testified:

I think I gave them to him not with any direct expectation,but with the understanding that [the DCCC communications director] is someone that talks to reporters all day. If there’s something that I’m missing, maybe — maybe there’s a way that he could get the — you know, that he could give them to a reporter; you know, in the course of talking to reporters that he might find a way. I didn’t have any direct expectation, but in general.

Miller also testified that no one else was shown the emails:

Both Field and Miller testified that neither then-Rep. Menendez, who was then chairman of the Democratic Caucus, nor any other person in the office of the Democratic Caucus, was provided with the e-mails or was involved in the decision to provide them to the press.

But CNN is now reporting that Democrat Rep. Rahm Emanuel knew about the Foley scandal early on. Problem is that he told ABC in October that he did NOT know anything about the Foley deal:

The head of the House Democrats’ campaign committee, Rep. Rahm Emanuel, had heard of former Rep. Mark Foley’s inappropriate e-mails to a former male page a year before they became public, a campaign committee aide told CNN.

Foley, a Republican, resigned after the scandal broke. House Speaker Dennis Hastert and other Republicans have suggested repeatedly that some Democrats knew about the e-mails earlier than they have acknowledged, but waited till midterm elections approached to bring up the issue.

Emanuel’s campaign committee aide said Friday that the Illinois Democrat was informed in 2005, but never saw the correspondence and did not have enough information to raise concerns. The aide said Emanuel took "no action" because his knowledge was "cursory" and little more than "rumor."

The aide’s acknowledgement differs from the flat "no" Emanuel gave in October when asked — during an interview on ABC’s "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" — if he or anyone on his staff knew of the e-mails before the scandal broke.

Here is the video showing the corrupt Democrat giving a bald faced lie to ABC:

How convenient that we find out about all this weeks after the election huh? A Democrat politician who is pretty high up the food chain pulls a "I didn’t have sex with that woman" kind of stunt and it only comes out after the Democrats won.

Glenn Greenwald, someone who I would rather not link to but alas, he does such a good job here of detailing Emanuels misdeeds that I am forced to:

Did Rahm Emanuel explicitly and clearly lie during his October appearance on ABC?

Emanuel would likely say that he did not "lie," because each time he was asked whether he was "aware" of the e-mails — which he plainly was — he never denied being "aware" of them. Instead — he would likely argue — he changed the subject by denying that he ever "saw" the e-mails, a fact which appears (based on what we know) to be true (or at least not demonstrably false). Therefore, in the narrowest and most technical way, an argument could be constructed that Emanuel did not actually "lie" in his responses.

But that argument, ultimately, is nonsense. If you listen to the video, there is little doubt that Emanuel was lying in every meaningful sense of that word. He not only denied having "seen" the e-mails, but also interrupted Stephanapolous’s first question about whether he was "aware" of the e-mails with an emphatic "no," and at least on one other occasion, denied not only having seen the e-mails, but also having been aware of them. Those denials were just outright false (i.e., "lies").

Independent of the question of whether Emaneul "technically lied" — and far more important — is the fact that Emanuel was clearly and deliberately misleading. Any reasonable person would have come away from that interview (as I know I did) with the strong impression that Emanuel was completely unaware of any e-mails sent by Foley to the pages, and that he had no reason to know anything was amiss with Foley until ABC broke the story.

In fact, Emanuel emphasized how inappropriate it was for Republican House Leadership to allow Foley, in 2005, to become the Chair of the Missing and Abused Children Caucus despite what Emanuel called the "warning signs" about Foley’s behavior. But Emanuel was aware of at least some of these same "warning signs" in 2005, and he said nothing about them at the time. He was guilty of doing exactly what he was piously and indignantly accusing the GOP House Leaders of doing — namely, knowing about the Foley e-mails to pages and taking no action.

Right on target. It’s apparent that Greenwald is only taking Emanuel to task because there is not much love for Emanuel in the moonbats cupboard but I will give him credit for taking on a Democrat who does wrong. We don’t see that happening much these days.

Anyways, we all know the Democrats visited all the Sunday talk shows in October telling the television audience how wrong it was for the Republican leadership to have sat on this scandal but as now we find out that the Democrats did the same thing.

How special.

This comes on top of the Jefferson election victory recently:

Voters looked past a federal bribery investigation of Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) and reelected the eight-term congressman in a runoff election Saturday.

Jefferson grabbed a commanding lead over state Rep. Karen Carter, a fellow Democrat, almost as soon as the polls closed in the New Orleans district. With 44 percent of the precincts reporting, Jefferson, had 61 percent of the vote.

[...]Jefferson, Louisiana’s first black congressman since Reconstruction, has been the target of a wide-ranging investigation into allegations that he took bribes — including $90,000 allegedly found in his freezer during an FBI raid — from a company seeking lucrative contracts in the Nigerian telecommunications market. He has not been charged with any crime and denies any wrongdoing.

He described his win as "a great moment and I thank almighty God for making it possible."

Now what was it that Nancy promised?

We pledge to make this the most honest, ethical, and open Congress in history.

Yup….gonna have lots to blog about over the next few years.

Who Is Behind StopSexPredators?

Curt — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 22:57:45 +0000

The blog Stop October Surprises was started a few weeks ago. His mission is to find out who is behind that bogus blog Stop Sex Predators blog that came out of no where and incredibly received the smoking gun that outed Foley.

I am going to “out” the identity of the StopSexPredators blog. Why? Because I hate dirty politics, because our country deserves better. I am sick of these October surprises (aren’t you)? This one is going to cost you, the taxpayer, big time. The FBI doesn’t work for free nor do your Congressmen and their staff. No, it probably won’t change the outcome of the upcoming elections… what moron would change his vote because Foley couldn’t keep away from the youngsters?

StopSexPredators is bullshit. It’s not what it says it is. It was a clever trick, bought by many in the MSM (that’s main stream media), to get the Foley info into the mainstream just in time for the election. How clever? But apparently clever enough since so many were so easily fooled.

The author has been doing some detective work and found a very large connection with the group called Human Rights Campaign:

Send the moron an email using a tracing tool like ReadNotify, wait until the email is read.

This little adventure all started with a simple email sent from an account ‘dcguy191@yahoo.com’. One of the persons behind StopSexPredators, using the email address ‘stopsexpredators@gmail.com’, read this email from several network locations. (Don’t think physical location, think network location.)

Others pinned the idiot to the Royal Oaks area of Michigan (again network location), which is true. But I caught said moron reading the email account from the address 64.194.245.126. This address is ‘owned’ by the HRC. Not smart.

And then he did the same thing yesterday:

I sent two emails to stopsexpredators@gmail.com in the past 24 hours.

The first one was another trace sent under the made up email address “cchapmancc@yahoo.com” and the second one directly from my email account here (gtlx102006@yahoo.com) with an invitation to read this very blog.

Both were read back to back and a visit to this very blog occurred moments later. Oh, yea, again from the HRC, same IP address as the original.

Which is quite interesting. Why you ask? Well, recall the name Brian Smoot, which I blogged about here:

Gateway Pundit is reporting that he has been told who the FoleyGate spy is:

This much was revealed- “There is very strong speculation that Brian Smoot is one the high ranking democrats who knew of the Foley scandal months before the news broke on September 29, 2006.”

He then points us to this Redstate analysis done last week:

Let’s follow this chain of events, which may be coincidental and may not be coincidental:

In August of 2004, Rodney Alexander’s Chief of Staff, Brian Smoot, and five other staffers abruptly quit because Alexander switched to the GOP. National Journal reported on August 13, 2004, that the Chief of Staff “sharply criticized Alexander for switching parties.” The Chief of Staff and five staffers were promptly hired by minority leader Nancy Pelosi.

In November 2005, Alexander is notified by a couple in his district that the couple’s son had gotten emails from Mark Foley that were not really kosher.

In October of 2006, we find that Alexander’s former Chief of Staff is now running the congressional campaign of Ron Klein in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District against Republican Representative Clay Shaw — a district that shares a major media market with Mark Foley’s district.

Tie this together with the information that a tipster just emailed me with. A little factoid that is even more interesting….the Political Director at HRC is one Samantha Smoot.

Is she related to Brian? Is she the one receiving the emails to Stop Sex Predators? Is she the one behind the Stop Sex Predators?

No answers yet but it’s getting a bit more interesting.

UPDATE 10/25/06 2045hrs PST

There appears to be a major update to this story at The American Thinker:

One blog site that has been tracking the SSP site, warns that if HRC doesn’t come clean about its role in this Republican gay outing campaign, it will be exposed on Friday:

Open letter to Joe Solmonese:

It is your responsibility to rid the HRC of the SSP gang. It is important for you to do so; doing nothing is connivance.When I started this pursuit (or stumbled in), I knew nothing of the HRC or its mission. I am now thoroughly aware of how many people rely on the HRC to forward the rights of the LGBT community. Underhanded tactics of a few not only tarnish the organization but also its mission.

If you do not act, I will. Friday is your deadline or I name names.gtl

Update: So who’s calling? The MSM (main stream media), that’s who.

I was told about this post in the comment section this morning but when I visited the site it didn’t have that post up. Clarice visited later and saw that the post had been replaced:

This is what SOS now has on its site:

Today I received a comment on this blog as follows:

Brad Luna said…

“The email exchanges in question between former Congressman Mark Foley and a House page have been in the possession of bloggers and media outlets for some time now. Yesterday, it came to our attention that an HRC employee, hired just last month to work for us in Michigan, was responsible for initially posting these emails on his blog. We investigated the matter, determined that HRC resources had been inappropriately used, and let him go. No one at the Human Rights Campaign, other than this individual, had any knowledge of his activities,” said Brad Luna, Spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign.

I have emailed Brad asking for confirmation of this statement (and some others things).

Interesting developments. I’m not sure I by the “just hired last month” timeline tho.

I have since tried to get onto Stop October Surprises without success, it gives me a error….unsure what is going on with that.

UPDATE 2300hrs PST

The Stop October Surprises site is back up with this update:

Update: I know who this employee is, and have for some time, but I cannot prove that he has been fired. I will let others go after that for now. There is more to this story… It seems to me that the HRC has more work to do in this matter, and I communicated that message to Brad Luna.

I still don’t believe they hired this guy conveniently after he started the StopSexPredators blog…..just don’t believe it.

UPDATE 10/26/06 2240hrs PST

Word from a tipster that the fired HRC employee and probable StopSexPredators is one Lane Hudson.
UPDATE 10/27/06 1530hrs PST

It appears the blog Fresh Intelligence is trying to steal SOS thunder by releasing the name of the person who was fired by HRC. They did come up with this new information tho:

Susan Horowitz, the publisher of Between the Lines, a gay weekly newspaper in Michigan, said Hudson arrived in Michigan on September 30 and had been attending get-out-the-vote events as recently as yesterday.

[...]Hudson, a onetime staffer to Sen. Fritz Hollings (D-SC) and former Democratic South Carolina Gov. Jim Hodges, is 29.

Ethical Lapses Ignored

Curt — Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:26:26 +0000

So Senator Reid has now disclosed that not only did he fail to report the fact that he sold land to a friends LLC in return for an ownership stake in the company, but that he failed to report two other land deals:

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid announced yesterday that he is amending his ethics reports to Congress to more fully account for a Las Vegas land deal that allowed him to collect $1.1 million for property he hadn’t personally owned for three years.

The Nevada Democrat also disclosed that he failed to report two other smaller land deals on those same reports.

Reid acted several days after the Associated Press reported the senator didn’t disclose to Congress that he first sold land to a friend’s company back in 2001 and took an ownership stake in the company. He didn’t collect the seven- figure payout until the company sold the land again in 2004 to others.

Reid portrayed the 2004 sale as a personal sale of land, making no mention of the company’s ownership or its role in the sale.

Reid said his amended ethics reports will list the 2001 sale and the company, called Patrick Lane LLC.

Not only that, it is now known that he used campaign donations to pay for Christmas bonuses for the hotel staff where he resides:

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid paid cash for a $750,000 condo at the Ritz-Carlton where he lives. But when it comes to giving the doorman and other support staff Christmas bonuses, he’s been using campaign donations instead of his own money.

Federal election law bars candidates from converting political donations for personal use.

Questioned about the campaign expenditures by The Associated Press, Reid’s office said Monday his lawyers had approved them but he nonetheless was personally reimbursing his campaign for the $3,300 he had directed to the staff holiday fund at his residence.

In typical Democrat fashion he blames everything on the big bad Republicans:

Reid labeled the AP story as the “latest attempt” by Republicans to affect the election. AP reported last week that it learned of the land deal from a former Reid adviser who had concerns about the way the deal was reported to Congress.

Which I find quite curious. This Senator sat on the Ethics Committee but failed to follow the rules on disclosure back in 2001, how does he explain this? It’s the Republicans fault. Ed Morrissey has more on his lunacy:

Reid’s connection to an attorney involved in a bribery case that directly related to zoning decisions in Clark County, where they both owned property, was a Rovian plot set in motion in 1998. And now Reid’s new disclosures of property in an area where he has taken an intense legislative interest somehow relates to Republicans, when no one even mentioned the parcels in question — because Reid failed to disclose them during his entire time as Senate Minority Leader, while he has castigated Republicans for alleged ethical lapses.

[...]As far as the Christmas bonuses go, it pales in significance to Reid’s land deals and rule breaking on personal finances, but they still have some significance as an indicator of Reid’s indifference to the rules. No one much cared how the money wound up in the hands of the hotel staff, so the “clerical error” explanation makes some sense. In Reid’s organization, the rules don’t apply, and this rule means a lot less to the taxpayers than Reid’s manipulation of federal land deals.

Meanwhile, while doing a search for news articles today about Reid on Lexis-Nexus I found 97 articles. Doing one for Foley, you guessed it, 146 articles. So a story about a man who sent an email asking for a picture from a 16 year old, who sent IM’s of a sexual nature to a 18 year old, AND is over 3 weeks old is STILL being printed more often then a story that is only a few days old about the ethical wrongdoings of a Democrat.

No bias here?

How about the Weldon story.

Federal agents raided the homes of Rep. Curt Weldon’s daughter and one of his closest political supporters yesterday as part of an investigation into whether the veteran Republican congressman used his influence to benefit himself and his daughter’s lobbying firm, according to sources familiar with the investigation.The investigation focuses on actions the Pennsylvania congressman took that may have aided clients of the business created by his daughter, Karen Weldon, and longtime Pennsylvania political ally Charles Sexton, according to three of the sources. …

The investigation focuses on Weldon’s support of the Russian-managed Itera International Energy Corp., one of the world’s largest oil and gas firms, while that company paid fees to Solutions North America, the company that Karen Weldon and Sexton operate.

The congressman, for example, intervened on Itera’s behalf when U.S. officials canceled a federal grant to the company. He also encouraged U.S. companies to do business with Itera at a time when its reputation had been sullied by accusations of Russian corruption.

Funny thing about this story, it’s not new. It was reported by none other, CREW, back in 2004, and the story was reported to the House Ethics Committee who have apparently cleared him. But now, a few weeks before an election, there is a FBI raid.

Something smells fishy, enter Ed Morrissey once again:

The Congressman, in an appearance at the University of Pennsylvania last night, claimed that an associate of John Conyers and Chuck Schumer had campaigned for this investigation to be opened by the FBI during the election. Melanie Sloan now heads CREW, the same outfit that had its fingers on the infanous Mark Foley instant messages, and Weldon says she’s leaked the information on the story to the press.

Ok, so whats the back story on this investigation? Weldon’s daughter, Karen Weldon, and Charles Sexton started a lobbying firm called “Solutions North America” and began lobbying for a Russian oil company called Itera. They attempted to lobby for gas and oil contracts inside the USA for the company but were unsuccessful from the time they started working for Itera in 2002 until they ended the business relationship in 2004.

Weldon tried to drum up support for the company by complaining to the Trade and Development Agency and attended the opening of their American headquarters. The allegation is that the only reason his daughters firm got the contract in the first place was because of Weldon’s influence. Kinda funny since the LA Times reported in 2003 that Reid has the same kind of problems:

WASHINGTON — It was the kind of legislation that slips under the radar here.

The name alone made the eyes glaze over: “The Clark County Conservation of Public Land and Natural Resources Act of 2002.” In a welter of technical jargon, it dealt with boundary shifts, land trades and other arcane matters — all in Nevada.

As he introduced it, Nevada’s senior U.S. senator, Democrat Harry Reid, assured colleagues that his bill was a bipartisan measure to protect the environment and help the economy in America’s fastest-growing state.

What Reid did not explain was that the bill promised a cavalcade of benefits to real estate developers, corporations and local institutions that were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in lobbying fees to his sons’ and son-in-law’s firms, federal lobbyist reports show.

The Howard Hughes Corp. alone paid $300,000 to the tiny Washington consulting firm of son-in-law Steven Barringer to push a provision allowing the company to acquire 998 acres of federal land ripe for development in the exploding Las Vegas metropolitan area.

Barringer is listed in federal lobbyist reports as one of Hughes’ representatives on the measure that his father-in-law introduced.

Other provisions were intended to benefit a real estate development headed by a senior partner in the Nevada law firm that employs all four of Reid’s sons — by moving the right-of-way for a federal power-transmission line off his property and onto what had been protected federal wilderness.

The governments of three of Nevada’s biggest cities — Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson — also gained from the legislation, which freed up tens of thousands of acres of federal land for development and annexation. All three were represented by Reid’s family members who contacted his staff on their clients’ behalf.

So tell me, when is Senator Reids offices going to get raided?

Be that it may, unless their is evidence to suggest that Weldon received compensation for legislation (nothing of the sort has been introduced) then what we have here is Weldon doing the same thing that Reid did for his family members and a company donating eight grand to his campaign coffers for a photo op.

Clarice Feldman believes its the Clinton war-room behind this recent emergence of a two year old complaint:

The FBI gets a lot of tips on politicians. But it doesn’t act on all of them in a great blaze of publicity, just a few weeks before elections. And not many of them are specifically tipped by the Soros outfit CREW.

Well, Curt Weldon and his daughter are getting the full CREW treatment.

Weldon happens to be one of the few high-level members of Congressional Intelligence Committees to insist on reform in the intelligence bureaucracy, to expose the Clinton Follies in national security, and to play a consistently positive role in limiting post-Soviet proliferation of nukes and scientists.

The Clintonistas have it in for Curt Weldon; which means that the most incompetent collection of foreign policy flunkeys just want to continue their coverups.

Even when Clinton blew up on Wallace a few weeks ago he couldn’t help but mention Weldon’s name:

CLINTON: Of course they do. Of course they do. It’s a big load of hooey. We’ve got nine Iraq war veterans running for House seats, a three-star admiral who was on my National Security Council staff, who also fought terror, by the way, is running for the seat of Curt Weldon in Pennsylvania.

So in the end what we have is a concerted effort by Clinton’s team (which includes the Democrats, the MSM, and CREW) to effect this election with investigations about a gay man having internet sex with an adult and a two year old allegation that was already sent to the House ethics committee. All the while that same team ignores and belittles the ethical lapses of their own people.

Sound about right?

UPDATE

Redstate is reporting that their sources tell them Reid may be a kaput:

Sources tell RedState that disgruntled Democrat staffers are working with a handful of Democrat Senators in preparations to oust Harry Reid after November 7th.

The staffers and senators feel that Reid tied their hands and they were not able to fully capitalize on this election cycle. Feeling that they will not recapture the Senate, but that they will make it very close, the plotting has begun. With the ever aggressive Mitch McConnell in line to become Majority Leader, the staffers and senators think they’ll need someone better able to match wits with McConnell.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

The Foley Dorm Incident

Curt — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 18:13:34 +0000

A new article yesterday on the Foley incident suggests either that the incident in which Foley supposedly was drunk and trying to get into the Pages dormitory was made up or covered up:

U.S. Capitol Police said yesterday that they have no record of an alleged incident in which then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) supposedly tried to enter a Capitol Hill dormitory for teenage pages.

The purported nighttime incident has been cited by lawmakers and a key witness in the scandal that involves Foley’s interactions with congressional pages and the House’s handling of the matter. Unlike sexually graphic electronic messages that Foley sent to teenage boys, evidence of the alleged dorm incident has proved elusive.

Yesterday, acting Capitol Police Chief Christopher M. McGaffin said his staff conducted electronic and hand searches of files covering several years but found no record of the alleged incident in which a drunken Foley supposedly was detained outside the pages’ dorm in 2003 or earlier.

“I can’t find anything that was written, in the way of a report, that would establish that that did occur,” McGaffin said in a telephone interview. “Having said that, I don’t know, maybe it occurred and there wasn’t a report generated.”

McGaffin said the search was complicated by the fact that he has received no details on when the alleged incident occurred and exactly what happened. “If, obviously, a crime was committed, a report would have been generated,” he said.

In a separate interview this week, Terrance W. Gainer — who was Capitol Police chief from June 2002 to April of this year — said he recalled no mention of such an incident during his tenure.

His former chief of staff believed the incident took place tho:

Sources familiar with the investigation say that former Foley chief of staff Kirk Fordham, who met with the House ethics panel Thursday, told members that he believes the alleged page dormitory incident took place, and that it was a sign that Foley was showing unseemly interest in teenage pages. Fordham has said he asked Hastert’s chief of staff, Scott Palmer, to intervene with Foley, and that Palmer reported he did so. Palmer has denied Fordham’s account.

In an Oct. 3 letter to House Clerk Karen L. Haas, Rep. Deborah Pryce (R-Ohio) said a fellow GOP lawmaker had cited “rumors that there was an incident within the last several years when then-Congressman Foley in an intoxicated state was stopped by the Capitol Police from entering the Page Residence Hall.”

Well, if the incident did happen then I guess these two men, meaning Fordham and the head of the Page program Trandahl, did a good job of covering the thing up when they shouldn’t have.

But it certainly is possible this is a concocted event since we have no record by the police nor has anyone at the Dorm come forward to say they had witnessed this event. This could easily be another hit-piece.

As this article has cited, the Democrats had been shopping the emails around for sometime:

But there are indications that Democrats spent months circulating five less insidious Foley e-mails to news organizations before they were finally published by ABC News late last month, which prompted the leaking of the more salacious instant messages. Harper’s Magazine said yesterday that it obtained the five e-mails from a Democratic Party operative, albeit in May, long before the election season.

[...]“Are we saying that a 15-year-old child would’ve sat on e-mails that were XXX-rated for three years and suddenly spring them out right on the eve of an election? That’s just a little bit too suspicious, even for Washington, D.C.,” Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) said on “Fox News Sunday” last weekend. On the same day, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said he “never saw” the e-mails. “What you guys want to do is take your dirty laundry and throw it over the fence and try to blame other people,” he said.

Kinda funny coming from Emanuel, since he is one of the biggest Democratic “pit-bulls” out there. I find it hard to believe that a guy described as:

Banter with a U.S. President is nothing new to Emanuel; he was at Bill Clinton’s side as a political advisor inside the White House for six years and still talks strategy with him at least once a month. Now chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee-the operations center for House candidates (Washington nickname: “D-Triple C”)-Emanuel is applying rugged business discipline to the Democratic Party’s historic effort to wrest control of the U.S. House from the Republicans. Last year he recruited dozens of candidates to challenge GOP incumbents. This year he is holding feet to the fire to raise record amounts for the Democrats’ effort.

[...]Former President Clinton told FORTUNE he considers Emanuel “one of the top political minds in Washington,” a strategist who “favors the counterattack over the attack.” Clinton adds: “His politics are rooted in new ideas and old-fashioned values.” Former Bush economic advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who, as Congressional Budget Office director, worked with Emanuel, calls him the “real deal.” (Like Rostenkowski, Emanuel has a seat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.)

[...]Conservative Republican Tom Cole, a U.S. Representative from Oklahoma, cited Emanuel’s ferocity in a recent letter to colleagues asking for their support in his own campaign to run the counterpart House GOP operation next term. “He’s dangerous,” says Cole, who calls Emanuel a friend. “He has a closing intensity. When he’s got a political kill in sight, he’s absolutely relentless.”

Knew nothing about this “scandal” when several Democrats were shopping this story around for months. If anything, he is probably pissed the thing was leaked too soon.

Then we have the recent internet investigation which uncovered the fact that two militant gay men were on a mission to destroy Foley, and at the sametime had connections to the software that runs the HillZoo.com site which is for Congressional Staffers, and the Congressional Club website for Congressional spouses.

Did these IM’s and emails come from there?

Either way you look at this thing, if they had planned on this being a October Surprise, they screwed the pooch badly.

Some FoleyGate Detective Work

Curt — Fri, 13 Oct 2006 06:37:30 +0000

Now this is what you call some internet detective work done by a freeper:

Many of you have written and asked me to let you know what my research into the whole Foleygate has revealed and I think it is time to put it out there and let you folks decide. Whether or not it is later to be discovered as a piece of this Foley Scandal, IT IS STILL EXTREMELY DISTURBING! When several Freepers brought up blogactive.com the first day the scandal broke, I went there to see what it was all about.

Now the whole thing is quite long with LOTS of links and connections so I will not reprint it here. But this question by the freeper should pique your curouisity:

Here are my questions, regardless of whether this SOFTEC SYSTEMS is involved in this particular scandal. Can they capture info on these Congressional Staffers webpages by being the internet provider, etc.? Who hired them and why? AND WHAT THE HELL IS A FLORIDA GAY PORN KING doing hosting web pages on Capitol Hill? Now I understand this is not a government site, but these Congresscritters are not allowed to have campaign type info on their dot gov sitesâ€¦they have to go elsewhere. How many folks in Congress are using SOFTEC? How many CONGRESSIONAL WIVES ARE?

Go now! This research begs to get answered.

UPDATE

Here is a simplified version of the investigation and it’s results:

Mike Rogers (gay) is the guy who is “outing” gay Republicans.

Mike Rogers used to work for a company that produced Gayellowpages.com

Gayellowpages.com Technical contact is Ferrell Ard (gay) (ferrell@BADPUPPY.COM)

BADPUPPY.com is run (owned) by William Pinyon (gay) (aka Bill Pinyon) and Ferrell Ard.

Ferrell Ard and Bill Pinyon also are execs/owners of Softec Systems.

Softec Systems hosts the Politics1 website.

Softec Systems also hosts HillZoo.com site for Congressional staffers.

Softec Systems also hosts the homepage of The Congressional Club (the official organization for Congressional spouses).

Politics1 is owned/run by Ron Gunzburger (gay), who started that website in 1997.

In 2000 Ron Gunzburger worked at Lobby For Me, Inc.

The admin contact for Lobby For Me’s webiste is Bill Sarpalius.

The technical contact for Lobby For Me’s website is Ferrell Ard at Softec Systems (ferrell@softecsys.net)

Notice that Ferrell Ard does not use his porno email address for this Hill lobbying gig.

Ron Gunzburger also has his own website (Gunzburger.com) which uses Softec Systems as its server.

Also, in 2004, Gunzburger worked on the presidential campaign of Howard Dean, who we all know is now head of the DNC.

Not that this matters in the storyline, in June 2006, Gunzburger went to Toronto to marry his longtime “partner,” Dana Buker (also gay, but I didn’t need to tell you that).

Bill Pinyon (gay) and Ferrell Ard (gay) own.run Badpuppy.com, a multimillion dollar per year gay hardcore porn site.

Bill Pinyon and Ferrell Ard also own/run Softec Systems, which is the server for Politics1.com (left/liberal), Gunzburger.com, HillZoo.com (Congressional Staffers), and the Congressional Club website (for Congressional spouses).

Could the owners/operators of Softec Systems, both openly gay men making megabucks selling hardcore porn on their internet enterprise, BadPuppy.com, have access to their clients’ (at either site) private information and/or communications?

Getting more interesting by the moment.

Protecting The Kids?

Curt — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 14:30:29 +0000

So we have Nancy Pelosi sputtering idiotic comments like so:

“We want to know why the Republicans chose to protect Mark Foley’s political career rather than protect the children who were in our charge.”

But no word from her about her Democratic brethren who kept the emails a secret for oh, say, months!

But there are indications that Democrats spent months circulating five less insidious Foley e-mails to news organizations before they were finally published by ABC News late last month, which prompted the leaking of the more salacious instant messages. Harper’s Magazine said yesterday that it obtained the five e-mails from a Democratic Party operative, albeit in May, long before the election season.

Oh my! But what about the children Nancy?

Come on!

Listen, there has been no evidence submitted that Foley EVER had sex with an underage male. Unlike some Democrats in the past, cough Studds cough.

While the fact that he went after 18 year old men is creepy, just as it would be if he was going after 18 year old women, the fact of the matter is that he broke no law, cough Jefferson cough. He did the right thing by resigning immediately, cough Jefferson cough…..sorry, getting a cold I gather.

But all this story boils down to is a 50+ year old gay male having a thing for young MEN.

I’ll say it again, creepy and deserving of losing his job, but this story does not deserve to be highlighted over the fact that a Congressmen is under investigation on actual CRIMINAL charges and was found with bribe money in his freezer:

Agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment that had been delivered by an informant in the bribery probe, which already has led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.

The Justice Department has been investigating Jefferson’s relationship to telecommunications deals in Africa and elsewhere, and the House Ethics Committee launched an investigation of him last week.

So what the flying hell is the big story with this thing? That he’s gay? Are Democrats that desperate that they will go after homosexuals now? Is it the trumped up charge that there was a conspiracy? If so, they will be sorely disappointed judging by the WaPo’s article. I mean if the WaPo, known for being waaaayyyy biased to the left, takes swings at the Democrats then look out.

AJStrata tears into the WaPo article here:

By my count that makes 2 Democrat operatives peddling this story, and not notifying authorities who could take action to protect the Pages. But the WaPo has to admit their source was intent on harming Reps – so why did they not report this fact sooner?

[...]What other evidence do we need other than the admissions by Harpers and the WaPo that they dealt with democrat operatives and used democrat sources bent on impacting the coming elections?

And then he goes to town with his analysis of the emails which appears more and more to be coming back to bite CREW on the ass.

Either way you look at it, if your being honest, this was a concerted effort by Democrats to effect the upcoming election. The MSM is helping all they can by keeping this story front and center. But as the days go by even the most biased reporter can’t help but admit that there was a definate agenda being pushed…..and it wasn’t “protecting the kids”

Back We Go To FoleyGate

Curt — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:04:21 +0000

Gateway Pundit is reporting that he has been told who the FoleyGate spy is:

This much was revealed- “There is very strong speculation that Brian Smoot is one the high ranking democrats who knew of the Foley scandal months before the news broke on September 29, 2006.”

He then points us to this Redstate analysis done last week:

Let’s follow this chain of events, which may be coincidental and may not be coincidental:

In August of 2004, Rodney Alexander’s Chief of Staff, Brian Smoot, and five other staffers abruptly quit because Alexander switched to the GOP. National Journal reported on August 13, 2004, that the Chief of Staff “sharply criticized Alexander for switching parties.” The Chief of Staff and five staffers were promptly hired by minority leader Nancy Pelosi.

In November 2005, Alexander is notified by a couple in his district that the couple’s son had gotten emails from Mark Foley that were not really kosher.

In October of 2006, we find that Alexander’s former Chief of Staff is now running the congressional campaign of Ron Klein in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District against Republican Representative Clay Shaw — a district that shares a major media market with Mark Foley’s district.

I do believe the FBI will be knocking on Smoots door sometime soon, as they will be at CREW’s office also:

A leftist group with strong ties to the Democratic Party and to radical billionaire George Soros may have engaged in criminal obstruction of justice in the Foley case. FBI investigators have accused the group CREW of concealing evidence of Rep. Mark Foley’s sexual misconduct over a period of several months.

George Soros’ Open Society Institute contributed $100,000 to CREW in January 2006.

“CREW is little more than a front for George Soros’ Shadow Party,” charges David Horowitz. “CREW has been withholding this evidence for months, apparently in order to release it just before the election. It is well known that Soros keeps a tight rein on groups that he funds. He and his Shadow Party cannot evade responsibility for CREW’s actions.”

The Shadow Party is a network of private political groups, organized and led by George Soros, which exerts a powerful but hidden influence over the Democratic Party, according to Horowitz.

And The American Spectator reports that this Shadow network of leftist groups was not ready for the Foley story when it first came out. Oh, they knew about it and planned for it, but they wanted to wait a bit before pulling the trigger:

One of the stories going around Democrat Party circles is that party operatives like Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and American Family Voices weren’t quite ready for primetime with the opposition research materials they had gathered for the 2006 election cycle.

According to one political consultant with ties to the DNC and other party organizations, “I’m hearing the Foley story wasn’t supposed to drop until about ten days out of the election. It was supposed the coup de grace, not the first shot.”

So why the rush? According to another DNC operative: bad polling numbers across the country. “Bush’s national security speeches were getting traction beyond the base, gas prices were dropping, economic outlook surveys were positive. We were seeing bad Democratic numbers in Missouri, Michigan, Washington, Arizona, Florida Pennsylvania, even parts of New York,” says the operative. “A month before, we were looking at launching an offensive against Republicans who according to polling barely held a five-seat majority if the election were to be held at the end of August. That was doable for Democrats from September 1 to November 7. But by mid-September, Republicans were back to having held seats for a 15-seat majority. In the Senate, it looked like a wash. We held seats in Florida, Nebraska, picked up seats in Pennsylvania, but that that was about it. They were holding in Missouri and possibly within reach of Maryland and Washington. We were looking at a disaster in the making.”

So how to remedy? “You pull out the bright shiny things that distract the average American voter away from the issues we all know they care about — national security, anti-terrorism — and focus on the ugly: Foley and Iraq.”

Macranger is hearing the same thing from his sources:

Sources today tell me that the ethics committee IS, along with their “who knew what and when”, is looking at whether or not there was any “evidence” witholding on the part of Democrats or of their operatives. Again, Foley’s activities aside, if it comes to light that Democratic operatives, or as it is believed at least one member of the Democratic Leadership had prior knowledge of Foley’s activities, the recoil would destroy democratic “momentum” in the last few weeks of the election. As I was told, “There is a gag order”.

The public hates a coverup, but they specifically detest a dishonest coverup. At this point the evidence is becoming more clear on the left than on the right. We’re all glad Foley was found out and is out of office. But if it turns out that – as it is now appearing – that Democratic operatives knew more than the Republican leadership about Foley but failed to inform them, look out.

The big story in this whole thing isn’t that Foley liked young men (men….not boys) and was gay, it’s the story of this network working behind the scenes to CREATE a scandal. CREW knew that there was no crime involved so they gave the FBI edited versions of emails. They knew the FBI couldn’t act on emails that were edited so when the story broke they could tell the world that they TRIED to get the FBI involved but they wouldn’t do anything.

This allows the media to report that Foley and the GOP was under investigation by the FBI.

Meanwhile the FBI is reporting that they will be talking to a page who received sexual IM’s….of course the media won’t print the pages name because that would mean they would have to admit he was an ADULT:

The FBI is expected to interview a former congressional page Tuesday who may have received suggestive electronic messages from former Florida Rep. Mark Foley, his attorney said.

“They (FBI) will question [the page] concerning his knowledge, if any, about former congressman Mark Foley,” the former page’s attorney Stephen Jones told The Oklahoman. The meeting was to occur in Oklahoma City where the former page has been working on a gubernatorial campaign, Jones said.

The MSM can try to hide this fact but the name of the page has been out there for quite sometime:

FBI special agents will question a former congressional page today in Oklahoma City at an undisclosed location about the recent sex scandal, said Enid attorney Stephen Jones, who is representing the man.

“They (FBI) will question Jordan Edmund concerning his knowledge, if any, about former congressman Mark Foley,” Jones said.

Foley, 52, stepped down recently from his House seat after he was confronted by “ABC News” with sexually explicit electronic messages he had sent teenage male pages. Through his attorney, Foley has said he is gay but denied any sexual contact with minors.

Edmund, who hails from California and was a U.S. House page from September 2001 to June 2002, is believed to have been the target of some of Foley’s salacious messages. He is a campaign aide to Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Okla., who is running against Gov. Brad Henry for the governor’s seat.

Still more spin from our MSM and the Democratic party.

Foleygate, Part….Oh Who Cares.

Curt — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 01:18:45 +0000

Ok, so I’m not really done with the militant gay attack on the Republican party, otherwise noted as Foleygate. The WaPo has an article which details a second Hastert aide who confirms that his office did indeed try to stop Foley’s behavior prior to this whole scandal:

House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert’s chief of staff confronted then-Rep. Mark Foley about his inappropriate social contact with male pages well before the speaker said aides in his office took any action, a current congressional staff member with personal knowledge of Foley and his behavior with pages said yesterday.

The staff member said Hastert’s chief of staff, Scott Palmer, met with the Florida Republican at the Capitol to discuss complaints about Foley’s behavior toward pages. The alleged meeting occurred long before Hastert says aides in his office dispatched Rep. John M. Shimkus (R-Ill.) and the clerk of the House in November 2005 to confront Foley about troubling e-mails he had sent to a Louisiana boy.

The staff member’s account buttresses the position of Foley’s onetime chief of staff, Kirk Fordham, who said earlier this week that he had appealed to Palmer in 2003 or earlier to intervene, after Fordham’s own efforts to stop Foley’s behavior had failed. Fordham said Foley and Palmer, one of the most powerful figures in the House of Representatives, met within days to discuss the allegations.

Palmer said this week that the meeting Fordham described “did not happen.” Timothy J. Heaphy, Fordham’s attorney, said yesterday that Fordham is prepared to testify under oath that he had arranged the meeting and that both Foley and Palmer told him the meeting had taken place. Fordham spent more than three hours with the FBI on Thursday, and Heaphy said that on Friday he contacted the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to offer his client’s cooperation.

Of course the paper has to bring the usual falsehoods into the mix with this paragraph:

Hastert maintains that he knew nothing of Foley’s actions until last week, when the story first broke and Foley resigned. His stance contradicts that of House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Thomas M. Reynolds (R-N.Y.), both of whom said they had informed Hastert this spring.

Hello! Boehner has made three conflicting statements. First he said he did not inform Hastert:

Boehner strongly denied media reports late Friday night that he had informed Hastert of the allegations, saying “That is not true.”

Then he stated he told Hastert:

House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told The Washington Post last night that he had learned this spring of some “contact” between Foley and a 16-year-old page. Boehner said he told House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.), and that Hastert assured him “we’re taking care of it.”

And then on Sean Hannity on Oct 2nd he said he couldn’t remember if he did or not, listen to interview here.

Of course the WaPo doesn’t wanna report this, just a plain ole’ “Boehner informed Hastert” statement. Typical.

Hastert has stated that the first meeting with Foley was in Nov, 2005 with Shimkus (head of the Page Board), Trandahl (then House Clerk) and Foley.

Sources close to Fordham say Trandahl repeatedly urged the longtime aide and close family friend to confront Foley about his inappropriate advances on pages. Each time, Foley pledged to no longer socialize with the teenagers, but, weeks later, Trandahl would again alert Fordham about more contacts. Out of frustration, the sources said, Fordham contacted Palmer, hoping that an intervention from such a powerful figure in the House would persuade Foley to stop.

Now, a second House aide familiar with Foley and his actions told The Washington Post yesterday that “Scott Palmer had spoken to Foley prior to November 2005.” The aide spoke on the condition of anonymity because the matter is now the subject of a criminal investigation and the House ethics committee inquiry.

[...]The divergent accounts have highlighted the holes in the public’s understanding of Foley’s undoing. And they are sure to ratchet up the pressure on Trandahl to come forward with his knowledge of events. As House clerk between January 1999 and November 2005, Trandahl had direct control over the page program.

[...]Trandahl’s departure came within days of his confrontation with Foley over e-mails that the congressman had sent a former page. House aides say the circumstances of Trandahl’s exit were oddly quiet. The departure of a staff member of long standing, especially one as important as the House clerk, is usually marked with considerable fanfare, said Scott Lilly, a former Democratic staff director of the House Appropriations Committee. Debate is suspended in mid-afternoon to accommodate a stream of testimonials from lawmakers.

Trandahl’s departure was marked by a one-minute salute from Shimkus and a brief insert into the Congressional Record.

The funny thing is that they leave out this fact until the last sentence of the last paragraph:

Congressional aides point to another factor that links Trandahl to the Foley matter. A member of the board of the national gay rights group Human Rights Campaign, Trandahl is openly homosexual and personally close to the now-disgraced former lawmaker, who announced through his lawyer this week that he is gay.

Well I guess since Trandahl is a lifelong Republican AND openly gay he won’t have to worry about this warning from the militant gaymaster Rogers (posted to his blog, Blogactive, today)

Saturday, October 07, 2006

Mr. Speaker, I have a point of information…

Hey, Dennis, on Monday I’ll be telling everyone about the high level closeted staffer in your office. …

Beginning Monday, and every weekday thereafter, I will be identifying the name of a closeted senior staffer in Congress with the hopes that those investigating this matter will make sure to include them in their questioning.

Sure sounds like a terrorist to me doesn’t it? Do as I demand or I will execute one every day!

Checking out the comments on his site makes you want to take a bath:

Mike, keep it up. Outing anyone to Hastert will come as no surprise to him because you can’t kid a high school wrestling coach. The fact is that being a closeted, socially conservative Republican means you’re a self-loathing nut. But being a non-gay Republican and welcoming closeted gays into your party means you’re a moral relativist–and that is NOT gonna fly with the Evangelical base. Regardless of where the there came from, and contrary to what Republicans are nervously arguing, there is plenty of there there–and it has nothing to do with being gay and everything to do with being corrupt and deceitful.
Matt | Email | Homepage | 10.07.06 – 12:49 pm

You guys come here trying to intimidate people are silly. These staffers deserve to be outed and if I had the info I would surely post it. These people are traitors and hypocrites. There is no reason to protect them.
Robert | Email | Homepage | 10.07.06 – 1:51 pm

And check out this bit of moral relavitism:

This is the way I see it: each of these gay men, for siding with the Republican anti-gay agenda have contributred to teenagers being beat up at school for being suspected of being gay. Any of these hypocrites worry about those lives they destroyed? No. Each of these gay men who side with the Republican anti-gay agenda contribute to gay teens suicide attempts and suicide completeions. Do they worry about the lives they destroyed then? No. They care about advancing their careers. Each of these gay men who side with the Republican anti-gay agenda contribute to fag bashings every year. Do they care about the lives that are destroyed then? No. They only care about advancing their careers. Each of these gay men who side with the Republican anti-gay agenda contribute to the job, housing and public accomodations discrimination that gays are faced with everyday. Do they care about the lives they destroyed then? No. They only care about advancing their careers then.

Why should anyone care about their lives being destroyed?
Robert | Email | Homepage | 10.07.06 – 2:19 pm

I love this comment because it pretty much details their agenda:

barea what u need to get through ur thick skull is that closetted gay politicians put all of us in danger because their “keep my secret at all cost” posture makes them prime targets to be blackmailed. Don’t u get that? Out gay= good closet gay =bad. Quite simple concept.
anon | Email | Homepage | 10.07.06 – 3:05 pm

Yup, damn those people who wish to keep their sex lives private….Damn them I tell you!

UPDATE

This blog believes he may have found out who the mystery blogger at Stop Sex Predators is:

Confidential sources are telling me that Michael Rogers may actually not run the StopSexPredators.blogspot.com website directly, but he might know the “mystery blogger”.

Perhaps he is Frederick Clarkson, who is listed on Reunion.com as living in Clinton Township, MI. Ace of Spades HQ has reported that the “mystery blogger” was traced to the area of Royal Oak, MI.

He appears to have posted with Michael Rogers (Blogactive) here on DailyKos

Article about Child Sex Abuse by Fred Clarkson

Interestingly, the Gay Games media is the Gale Group, located in Farmington Hills, MI – about 15 miles west of Royal Oak, MI.

According to an anonymous source that followed up on the Ace of Spades HQ story, the final two digits to lead to an IP address whose Geolocation is Farmington, MI.

Quite possibly, our “mystery blogger”.

Update: Under the comments on the DailyKos post listed above for Frederick Clarkson, his comment is titled “I can’t resist”.

The most recent title on stopsexpredators.blogspot.com?

The Foley Scandal, Part One Billion + 1

Curt — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 18:11:52 +0000

Another day and more bits of information have come out that, when put together, sure do seem to indicate this whole thing was part of a planned coup d’Ã©tat against Foley and other gay Republicans who were in the closet.

For my other posts on this subject: (earliest to latest)

And now onto the new revelations. Macsmind, The Strata-Sphere, and the commenters at JustOneMinute have done some excellent fact finding and have come up with lots of new stuff. They are all a definate must-read. The first interesting factiod that came out yesterday was that the FBI issued a response to CREW stating they dropped the ball on the emails:

Law enforcement officials said then that the e-mails did not provide enough evidence of a possible crime to warrant a full investigation. In the e-mails, Foley praises the physical attributes of one page and asks another teenager for his picture.

In subsequent days, unidentified Justice and FBI officials told reporters that the e-mails provided by CREW were heavily redacted and that the group refused to provide unedited versions to the FBI. One law enforcement official — speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation — also told The Washington Post the FBI believed that CREW may have received the e-mails as early as April and that the group refused to tell the FBI how they were obtained.

Of course CREW disputes this and brings out the conspiracy charge (we all knew that the lefties cannot stay away from using that term for something at least once a day):

The watchdog group that first provided the FBI with suspicious e-mails from then-Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.) said yesterday that FBI and Justice Department officials are attempting to cover up their inaction in the case by making false claims about the group.

And:

CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan disputed that account, saying the FBI was given the teen’s full e-mail address July 21. CREW received the e-mails that day from “a third party who had gotten them from a congressional staffer,” she said.

Oh really? And who is this staffer?

Also, the Justice Department pretty much backs what most of us have said, these emails do not contain anything that would lead us to believe he was wanting to jump the kids bones:

Justice Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse declined to comment on that issue but defended the FBI’s handling of the original e-mails: “The e-mails, while inappropriate, did not contain a criminal predicate to allow the FBI to move forward in an investigation.”

Then we have one Robin Katsaros. Who is she? She is writing a book on House Pages. It appears she has been writing this book for sometime according to this exchange on the House Page Alumni Board: (Included in this discussion is the young man who IM’d Foley, Jordon Edmund)

jordanedmund: (Apr 23 2006, 06:34 PM)
Has anyone been in contact with the author? Do we know how it is coming? Was it just given up on?

adlaidemocrat: (Apr 24 2006, 03:43 PM)
Not the faintest clue; I would venture to guess it’s been given up. I was never under the impression that the person had a publisher or any such thing.

jordanedmund: (Apr 24 2006, 03:43 PM )
When I spoke to her, on the phone, a year or so back, sh said she had written a few other books. I would doubt that there was someone who would be willing to publish a book about pages though. The Clerks counsel would probably keep anything from being published anyway. Probably on the grounds that we all signed confidentiality agreements when we started; so, every interview she did with a page would be null. Just my assumption.

adlaidemocrat: (Apr 24 2006, 04:04 PM)
I think the only way something could get published about it is if it were a tell-all memoir (either classy like George Stephanopolous’s “All Too Human” or scandalous like the “Washingtonienne” affair)

chiquita banana: (Apr 25 2006, 12:48 PM )
Kinda off subject, but there are House pages in our Algebra book. lol

washingtonmaiden: (Apr 26 2006, 06:30 PM )
i not sure there could be a tell all about pages. dont get me wrong i loved my job. we were not close to any one, stephanopolous had a very close relationship to a president. im not sure about the rest of you but my best relationship seemed to be the wall.

we are kinda of dull in comparision to the campagin trail. think about how many hours you spent reading. i finished virginia woolf’s orlando in two weeks. that has to be a record for a woolf novel.

my guess is the pubisher thougt it would be boring”

Back in 2004 Robin responded to the same kind of questioning on when her book would come out:

Aug 1 2004, 09:10 AM
Hello all,
Yes, the book is still in progress. Outline is complete. Four of the fifteen chapters are in rough draft form (the chapters with input from previous Pages has not been completed – this part will take the longest since I have to spend so much time interviewing people and I’ve left this part until the end, although I have received some input from a very few people.) I have an agent (my husband is a published author), but no publisher yet. I am also working with a company that let’s you self publish, sort of Print on Demand. And yes, you do get assigned an ISBN and it will be available at all the major book sellers. So I will do that if my agent can not get a publisher interested. Pictures have not been chosen, many more edits to go through. It’s a long process. I’ve had to squeeze it in with my other responsibilities, so it’s taking longer than I thought. But it IS going to happen, at some point in time. Thanks, Robin Katsaros

So we have a lady who is writing a book about Pages. Now you would think most of what they do would be quite boring, unless of course you have some sex scandals going on, right?

Another interesting factoid about her is that her son is a Page, one appointed by none other then Nancy Pelosi:

“CHRISTOPHER KATSAROS is a sophomore at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. He grew up in Los Altos Hills, CAâ€“just outside of San Francisco. ***Christopher served his junior year of High School working as a Congressional Page by appointment of Nancy Pelosi, currently the Democratic House Leader***. In addition to politics, Chris also enjoys shopping, artichokes, the sun and summer in general. Next semester, Christopher will be going to Dakar, Senegal, where he will go to school and work for an NGO (as well as doing some work with the Peace Corps).

And he is gay:

He is the same age as Jordon so we can assume he was in the same Page class as Jordon. Recall that a friend of Jordon’s has said that this was all a prank to get Foley to say some nasty stuff….

According to two people close to former congressional page Jordan Edmund, the now famous lurid AOL Instant Message exchanges that led to the resignation of Mark Foley were part of an online prank that by mistake got into the hands of enemy political operatives, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

According to one Oklahoma source who knows the former page very well, Edmund, a conservative Republican, goaded an unwitting Foley to type embarrassing comments that were then shared with a small group of young Hill politicos. The prank went awry when the saved IM sessions got into the hands of political operatives favorable to Democrats.

Here is a thought, these IM’s were said to have been shared with a small group of Pages, was Christopher one of them? Did this then get into the hands of his Mother who is writing this book about Pages. His Mother, Robin, is a moonbat judging from the house parties she did last year: (House Parties)

“Hi. Randi, Ambassador Joe Wilson and Cong John Conyers are all participating in house parties on Saturday to talk about Downing Street and Rovegate. You can find a link to attend or host one of the house parties on therandirhodesshow.com.

More than 200 have already been planned everywhere from Buffalo to San Francisco, Sandpoint, Idaho to Rock Hill, South Carolina.

Here’s the full list of house parties planned so far.

She hosted a party where they bring in the “Impeach Bush” bigwigs, this kinda tells me she is a moonbat.

To summerize, we have a moonbat who is writing a book about Pages, it appears for quite some time. This moonbat has a kid who is gay and was also a page at the same time as Jordon (the IM recipient). The IM’s were apparently a prank to get Foley to do some sextalk and then the IM’s were spread around to a group of other Pages.

Now, this is all circumstantial stuff, but if I were the investigating detective I would start focusing on the Katsaros family for being the source of the IM’s. Doesn’t mean they were part of the planned presskrieg, I blame that on CREW and the militant gays Rogers and Aravosis. But it’s something to go on.

UPDATE

Recall ABC’s first response to the IM question:

We became aware of the IMs only after we reported the first blotter item on the emails between Foley and a former page last Thursday, September 28. As we have reported, the IMs were given to us by former pages who contacted us after reading that first story. As for responding to reader’s questions, we have received tens of thousands of comments on these stories. We would like to respond to every question, but as I’m sure you can appreciate, that is not always possible.

Things that make you go hmmmmm…

UPDATE II

Kinda ironic that Robin’s husband is the owner of an internet security company:

NetsEdge Research provides marketing and strategy research reports and consulting services, specializing in areas related to Internet infrastructure. NetsEdge offerings combine the formidable and unique experience and perspective of the two principals: John Katsaros and Peter Christy.

UPDATE III

Macsmind found some interesting quotes from the Katsaros family:

“”Take those red states and SHOVE IT!” – Robin Katsaros (responding to the miserable social statistics in red states).

“George Bush, don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining!” – Chris Katsaros

“They should do a study on how people from the west coast are better than other peopleâ€¦” – Chris Katsaros

“â€¦I mean but at least both east and west coasters can laugh at the people in the middle: They’re poor and not tan.” – Chris Katsaros

“While we were waiting at Planned Parenthood, she filled out a voter registration form and checked the Republican boxâ€¦ It was so sack-religious.” – Chris Katsaros

“Like I said, the Democrats are way more smarter.” – Chris Katsaros

No biases in this family huh?

UPDATE IV

Was one of the three new Pages that came out to ABC this week Chris Katsaros?

The pages served in the classes of 1998, 2000 and 2002. They independently approached ABC News after the Foley resignation through the Brian Ross & the Investigative Team’s tip line on ABCNews.com. None wanted their names used because of the sensitive nature of the communications.

“I was seventeen years old and just returned to [my home state] when Foley began to e-mail me, asking if I had ever seen my page roommates naked and how big their penises were,” said the page in the 2002 class.

The former page also said Foley told him that if he happened to be in Washington, D.C., he could stay at Foley’s home if he “would engage in oral sex” with Foley.

He would have been from that class so the dates jive.

UPDATE V

Remember a few years ago when some Republican staffers got canned for getting internal Democratic strategy documents? Recall that the furor was over the staffers getting this info and passing it onto the media, not the info contained in the memos…..

Why are we not seeing this about the staffer who handed over Foley’s documents?

Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee infiltrated opposition computer files for a year, monitoring secret strategy memos and periodically passing on copies to the media, Senate officials told The Globe.

From the spring of 2002 until at least April 2003, members of the GOP committee staff exploited a computer glitch that allowed them to access restricted Democratic communications without a password. Trolling through hundreds of memos, they were able to read talking points and accounts of private meetings discussing which judicial nominees Democrats would fight — and with what tactics.

Democrats now claim their private memos formed the basis for a February 2003 column by conservative pundit Robert Novak that revealed plans pushed by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, to filibuster certain judicial nominees.

I think we all know the answer to that.

UPDATE VI 1015hrs PST

Interesting that Jordon Edmund posted 12 minutes after The Blotter first printed about this story isn’t it?

More on Pages in the news, this probably isn’t good press
