I stated yesterday that the only way I see myself voting for Juan MexiCain is to prevent Barack Obama from pushing this nation into a depression from which I’m not sure we’d ever recover. Obama’s socialist plans, dirty deals, and shady past are starting to come to light and it may signal the death nail to his campaign should he be the Democrat Nominee.
Today’s revelation comes to us via Human Events Online contributor John Batchelor…
Who is Nahdmi Auchi, who according to the British newspaper TimesOnline may have lent money through a company he controls in Panama to support a fundraiser for U.S. Senator Barack Obama in May 2005?
Who is Mr. Auchi? A British billionaire living in London, born in Iraq in 1937. And why would he, as it is alleged, lend money via a Panama company, Fintrade Services — of which his wife, Ibtisam Auchi, is said to be a director — to a freshmen U. S. senator from Illinois just a few months after he is sworn in as a very junior member of what was then a Democratic minority?
Oh really now?!? First it was Billy Bob Bubba and his Chinese contributors, then it was Hillary with hers. Now it seems Mr. Obama has his financial backing in the UK from someone who has a name that looks awful suspicious - almost if not definitely middle eastern. And according to John Batchelor, he’s been getting funding since he took his Senate seat. Do you think this Auchi guy has some other influence within the DNC? How does a freshman Senator with less than a full term served in the US Senate get to be the front-runner in the quest for the Democrat Nomination for president anyway?
What else did Mr. Batchelor dig up?
Who is Mr. Auchi, said to be the 279th richest man in the world, that he would provide through his overseas company wire transfers of $3,499,471 in April 2007, and another $200,000 in July 2007, to Antoin “Tony” Rezko, an indicted Chicago developer accused of defrauding Illinois citizens of at least $6 million? Rezko is a successful and veteran fundraiser for, among others, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and U.S. Senator Barack Obama.
Oooo this is getting rich folks. Obama is campaigning on the mantra of ‘change’ but it looks as though he plays the game of politics like a veteran insider and product of the Chicago Democrat Machine.
Hillary called Obama out on his association with Rezko and was vilified by everyone, including myself, for her apparent association with him as well. But it seems that Rezko may have been a funnel by which this non-citizen was able to channel money into Mr. Obama’s political endeavors.
Is there more Mr. Batchelor?
Who is Mr. Auchi that he would be in business at least since 2003 with the Syrian-born American citizen Mr. Rezko, a man who is by the most forgiving accounts an undercapitalized Chicago developer; the same Mr. Rezko who proposed to the lionized British developer Mr. Auchi a joint development for a vacant a 62-acre tract along the Chicago River in downtown Chicago into which eventually Mr. Auchi invested, through his primary company, General Mediterranean Holdings (GMH), at least $170 million, sharing possession with the politically connected and pizza parlor-owning Mr. Rezko?
Syrian? That ’splains a lot!
Who is Mr. Auchi, who asserts through his company that the suggestion he transferred covertly at least $3.7 millions to Mr. Rezko is “ridiculous”? Who is Mr. Auchi when the “Motion for Issuance of an Arrest Warrant,” presented by United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Patrick J. Fitzgerald, advances the allegation that the reason for Mr. Rezko’s surprising re-arrest and detention since January 28, 2008, was that Mr. Rezko was obtaining funds from overseas, overwhelmingly from Mr. Auchi’s overseas company GMH, in an apparently nine-month-concealed scheme to avoid the scrutiny of the federal prosecutor.
Wait! GMH? Didn’t Mr. Obama represent GMH? I’ll have to look for certain. I’m honestly not sure but I will find out.
Who is Mr. Auchi who has not commented publicly about the fact that the federal judge handling the case against Mr. Rezko, U.S District Judge Amy J. St. Eve, revoked the bond of Mr. Auchi’s business partner Mr. Rezko and jailed him, even as the case is scheduled to go to trial in two weeks?
Who is Mr. Auchi who, knowing the sensitivity and alarm at Mr. Rezko’s case around the Democratic campaign watchfires, has left it to GMH spokesmen to speak only generally and in banal syllables of the wire transfers — “We are acting with complete transparency” — while not addressing the suspicion that Mr. Rezko was using the money to prepare for flight?
So Auchi was going to help Rezko disappear huh? Interesting. Is that more for Rezko, Obama, or himself? The next paragraph is very telling as to the motivation to back Obama.
Who is Mr. Auchi, who founded GMH in 1979 in Saddam’s Iraq, that he would also lend an unknown amount of money recently to Christopher Kelly, a former fund-raising colleague of Mr. Rezko’s, a man who is under indictment for impeding and obstructing the Internal Revenue Service investigation into how he sought to conceal his million-dollar gambling losses as a business expense of his suburban roofing company? emphasis mine
No wonder why Mr. Obama likes to say that he opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning, it poses as a contradiction to the business interests of one of his suppliers of money. I smell something rotten and it is coming from the direction of the UK via Chicago.
Who is Mr. Auchi that he traveled to Chicago in April 2004 to visit with Mr. Rezko, who in turn introduced him to Governor Blagojevich and other state officials, including it is alleged, the then-State Senator and Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama?
Who is Mr. Auchi that he was barred from visiting the United States again in November 2005, having difficulties in obtaining a U.S. tourist visa perhaps because of his 2003 conviction in a French court, now under appeal, as part of a graft scandal connecting to French government officials dating back to the first Gulf War; and despite appeals to the State Department by Mr. Rezko and others, including, according to court documents filed by federal prosecutors, “certain Illinois government officials”?
I get it, I get it…
Auchi is a crook who dealt with another crook named Rezko and they are all tied up with Obama. Do you want someone with this many questionable associations in his past running this nation? Do you want someone who has business with a man who had business with Saddam’s Iraq making decisions to pull our boys and girls out before they get the job done?
There is more to the story but I’m not going to get into all of it. See more at Human Events Online.
I’ve seen enough to know that whatever disagreements I have with MexiCain’s past performance as a RINO is much better than what Obama would do with his foreign loyalties and business interests. Where is the Main Stream Media in all of this? Oh yeah, that’s right. They are assisting Obama’s elevation to cult G-d.
If Hillary can’t pull the Nomination out, I’m voting for MexiCain. If she can, I’m not voting. I won’t help her get elected, but I won’t prevent her from being elected. I will help prevent Obama from getting elected that is for sure - My Friends.
