OBAMA CAMPAIGN BEGINS USING ADVERTISERS TO THREATEN BROADCASTERS
Press Release | 8 October 2008 | Andy Martin

Posted on 10/09/2008 3:05:19 PM PDT by PhiKapMom

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

OBAMA CAMPAIGN BEGINS USING ADVERTISERS TO THREATEN BROADCASTERS

ANDY MARTIN PLANS RACKETEERING LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMA CAMPAIGN FOR INTERSTATE EXTORTION.

"OBAMA AND HIS THUGS HAVE PASSED FROM HARDBALL POLITICS TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY" SAYS ANDY

CHICAGO TRIBUNE PASSES ON HANNITY AND MARTIN, UNLEASHES LOS ANGELES TIMES "FRONT"

COUNTDOWN TO HONOLULU: "OPERATION ALOHA OBAMA" BEGINS IN 6 DAYS

(NEW YORK)(October 8, 2008) "We learned today that the Obama campaign is threatening economic retaliation against news organizations that communicate with me," Andy Martin stated. "This is an extension of the terrorist tactics that were directed at WGN-AM in Chicago for featuring critics. We are only a few steps away from a brown-shirted Hitler-style bully boy operation. America: the warning lights are on."

Here is the first threatening e-mail:

First Name:Gary Last Name:Riggin Address: Address (cont): City: State: Zip Code: Telephone:410-719-9340 Email:tiznit@verizon.net Fax: Enter Comments:Mr. Freedman, I am writing to ask you to end your association with WCBM radio. This morning Sean and Frank's guest was the vicious anti-Semitic Andy Martin. Martin once called a judge "a crooked slimy Jew". I will be happy to spread the word to my friends and family. Sincerely, Gary Riggin

(A copy of the actual forwarded e-mail is available on request.)

"Obama, of course, is testing the media," Martin continues. "I am the guinea pig. He feels if he successfully uses economic terrorism against me, he can go onto bigger targets and climb the media food chain. If I were Stanley Kurtz I would be worried. Likewise Jerome Corsi. Likewise Sean Hannity.

"Using 25 year-old accusations which have been debunked to terrorize businesses has a name: McCarthyism. After today, no one can pretend they do not know what is in store for the United States if Barack Obama is elected. A Mugabe-style gang will be running the federal government.

"Earlier today I announced I would be sending defamation notices to Barack Obama, Bob Gibbs, NBC News and Keith Olbermann. Those notices were in the process of being drafted when Obama unleashed his economic terrorists. I had originally planned a simple defamation lawsuit against Obama. I will be expanding my accusations to include civil racketeering, or 'civil RICO.' Threatening people with economic harm if they speak to other people is defined in the federal criminal code as Extortion.

"I wrote the book on RICO, se www.AndyMartin.com. I repeat what I said earlier today: I am unpopular in the judicial system not because I am corrupt but because I am too honest. I am unpopular because I have successfully exposed corruption, which in Chicago also includes media toadies to crooked politicians such as the Tribune's Rick Pearson.

"By threatening media, Obama has morphed from nasty smears and McCarthyism to criminal activity. Threatening media with economic retaliation for interviewing me is a crime. Where did this type of terrorism start? Why in Bill Ayers' Venezuela, of course. Hugo, we hardly knew ye (but then Obama has never known anyone; they just write him $100 million checks).

"The circumstances in Connecticut, where I was falsely accused of anti-Semitism, were similar. I exposed a cooked judge, Jose Cabranes, and a cabal he was using to loot a bankruptcy estate. Cabranes retaliated by unleashing his own criminal activity. Cabranes also sucked Judge Jon O Newman into the cesspool. Both men were rejected for the Supreme Court by President Clinton because of their involvement with this criminal activity. And Obama wants to make me the bad guy? (In an earlier column I gave the name of a Connecticut attorney who can comment on these claims.)

"I will also be contacting Sam Zell in a few minutes to warn him his minions at the Tribune are now trying to use a reporter in Los Angeles to smear me because the Tribune is a defendant in pending lawsuits and faces additional litigation. Deception and deceptive activity is always probative of intent. Sam Zell's 'front' won't succeed. Let Rick Pearson shovel his own crap at the Tribune.

"I was interviewed by someone from the L. A. Times today who said Fox News should have told viewers that I was involved in a controversy a quarter of a century ago-even though I was innocent. That is a classic definition of McCarthyism, smearing people with irrelevant accusations.

"But the larger question is why has the L. A. Times, as a proxy for the Chicago Tribune, focused on me and Sean Hannity? Why has Obama's 'communications' man Gibbs attacked Hannity and attacked me? Did I bomb buildings? No. Ayers did. But Obama/Gibbs suggests I am toxic and Ayers is not. Is Obama is trying to suggest that bombing the Capitol or Pentagon is equivalent to being a litigant in a controversial lawsuit, or being a corruption fighter and unpopular consumer champion in Chicago? Hello? You begin to see how desperate Ms. Gibbs is to discredit me. He can't even come up with a logical explanation for his hysteria.

"The big picture begins to evolve. We have a city, Chicago, led by a crook whose family has looted the municipality for over half a century. Richie Daley says a mad bomber is a respected citizen, and a sleazy pol from Chicago should be president. Chicago: the upside-down city. Barack Obama has been a lifelong participant in the Daley Machine. He wants to bring the Daley Machine to Washington, the same way he moved the Democratic Party from Washington to the Daley machine in Chicago.

"David Axelrod has known of me for over thirty years. This is with they are scared. Especially with me headed for Honolulu with a fat notebook of sources and issues. They know I have wounded them, and sent them reeling, and like wounded bulls they are now reduced to economic terrorism against broadcasting stations that interview me.

"I have only one question for the mainstream media: who's next?"

A clever short strategy on segments of the financial sector over the last few weeks could indeed have wreaked havoc.

If you didn't short with the intent of ruining the overall economy you are probably not a bad man; since I don't know you I can't make a judgment on your character.

Dude I know for sure that they set the orginal Weatherman “bombs” with Obama’s CRA law suits, then they infiltrated Fannie & Freddie (not hard to do run by Dems), then they infect banks and investment banks with the subprime virus.

Next they picked off the companies one by one using shorting, options to short and credit default swaps (CDS). Do you know what CDS are? Using these three tools plus rumors, message board bashing etc it is easy for a groups of hedge funds to take down these banks, mortgages firms, AIG and investment banks. Many hedge fund managers worked at these companies as traders. This was like shooting fish in a barrel.

This is fact.

Driving the market down now when you and assorted hedge funds have at least $50 billion capital before leverage? Easy.

They have some extremely wealthy people involved. Including one very famous folksy mega billionaire who owns a majority stake in Wells Fargo that picked up Wachovia for a song. He made a few billion on one deal in a week.

Google “Cloward Piven Obama”

The question is how long can they hold the markets down to benefit Obama? If they wrecked the global financial system it might be for quite a while.

Odd how this mega down day occurred right after Cox at the SEC lifted the ban on shorting financials.

Anyone that trades trends would be shorting certain sectors, certain stocks for weeks now. Many folks probably had no problem when I went short COP, and DVN....

If you didn't short with the intent of ruining the overall economy you are probably not a bad man; since I don't know you I can't make a judgment on your character.

Yeah that's the ticket....I want to ruin the economy. LOL!! Like I even could....if I had one billion dollars. Can't do it...with one, can't do it with 40.

How many billion in one trillion? Just off the top of your head..........

My latest from Clintons4McCain sends a link that goes to the McCain/Palin site — these people are pushing Dems to vote for McCain/Palin because they fear Obama. No wonder we fear him.

Email:

It is not just Soros. It is a group of hedge funds with almost unlimited capital and they are making a killing.

Ummm...no, you can't as an indidual. I never claimed you could. And I don't think anyone cares if you as an indivual shorts DVN, COP, or MS for that matter.

He also did it to the UK pound years ago. You are talking about at least a dozen hedge funds around the world with almost limitless money including Mid East money.

Google “Obama cloward piven” to see how they are hitting America on all sides. Open borders? - HUD today said 5 million mortgages went to illegals aliens and most have blown up. Part of the Obama,AYres,Soros, Pritzker and others strategy.

Summary: On Fox News’ Hannity’s America, Sean Hannity hosted Andy Martin — identified by Hannity as an “Internet journalist” — who made what Hannity called “the explosive claim that [Sen. Barack] Obama’s role as a community organizer was a political staging ground perpetuated by the unrepentant terrorist William Ayers.”

They made tens possibly hundreds of billions of set up one by one and picking off Merrill (stuff to the gills with mortgages - was Stan O’Neil another Raines), Indy Mac, AIG, CountryWide, Bear Stearns, Lehman, Wachovia, WAMU and a dozen others.

Ten global hedges funds? Not very hard. People here do not understand how coorinated attacks combining shorting and credit default swaps are devastating on the companies especially CDS. CDS is debt insurnace. Companies isnure their debt. Normally like $10,000 to insure $5 million. If hedge funds buy up the CDS - it drove the companies cost to insure debt. In many cases the CDS costs increased to like $500,000 to insure $5 million.

At that point the company is almost insolvent. The next day S&P, Fitch or Moodys downgrades their debt and it is game over. S&P, Fitch and Moodys have blood all over their hands too.

This is the biggest robbery in history by far.

This may prove a point I made on a previous thread- that Obama has peaked and McCain is regaining momentum.

Just to make a point, you made no point on the other thread - just that 0Bama is losing ground and McCain is gaining. You said nothing more.

The POINT here is what is causing the MSM to recently, and very much shockingly, get anti-Obama? There have been several recent examples, why?

You have to admit that that behavior by the MSM is totally out of character, right?

Next question is, "why?"

Not poking ya in the eye or anything, it's just that the MSM has always been all-in for Barry and now you are seeing a small crack appear here and there. The MSM is in a frenzy to get his polling #'s up, yet you see an arrow like this fly by once in awhile......

Bait...?....real dis-chord?

Throw in the Clinton's (what they have been saying / not saying, action / inaction, etc) and...........

Something is amiss.

Just me.

I have said for years, SORO’s MUST BE STOPPED. He is not an Americn, and yet he messes with our govt, our finances and our culture. He is the slimiest of currupt people. Nast is pretty accurate.

Dude I know for sure that they set the orginal Weatherman “bombs” with Obama’s CRA law suits, then they infiltrated Fannie & Freddie (not hard to do run by Dems), then they infect banks and investment banks with the subprime virus.

Once again, you can't prove it was Soros.

I'm trying to hold you to facts....here. Socialism/Marxism didn't just start with Obama either....he's late to the party. But, on top of the stinking pile here at the moment.

Next they picked off the companies one by one using shorting, options to short and credit default swaps (CDS). Do you know what CDS are? Using these three tools plus rumors, message board bashing etc it is easy for a groups of hedge funds to take down these banks, mortgages firms, AIG and investment banks. Many hedge fund managers worked at these companies as traders. This was like shooting fish in a barrel.

To have this type of conspiracy that you rave about.....would be amazing. Do you know how many people you are talking about? Many of these banks and mortgages houses took THEMSELVES down...along with enabling help from the Fed's among other things..... Much of the shorting was traders recognizing the total house of cards that those institutions constructed. THAT IS A FACT.

Not to mention the markets inhale they exhale.....I've been thru DOW 10 k both ways...Ha!! I can't count how many times now.....Probably 16 at least since 1999. Anyone in their mind knew...we couldn't continue on with PE's thru the roof..and small cap energy companies without earnings.....going to $20-$30 dollars. I guess you choose to see goblins around every corner. So be it. I don't. Oh hey.....I know Obama is a socialistMarxist...and I'm not happy about the slide we are on....But I'm not buying a world wide hit job.

Driving the market down now when you and assorted hedge funds have at least $50 billion capital before leverage? Easy.

How many billion in a trillion? A billion ain't that much money when you are talking about world-wide markets.

And once again....you have zero proof that Soros had/has anything to do with it.

They have some extremely wealthy people involved. Including one very famous folksy mega billionaire who owns a majority stake in Wells Fargo that picked up Wachovia for a song. He made a few billion on one deal in a week.

Yes, I've read about that.....

Google “Cloward Piven Obama”

Yes, I have read and studied that. I understand it. I don't happen to think it's a pandemic situation. Do I think it's a threat, damn straight. And what I don't do is run around ranting and raving about it.

The question is how long can they hold the markets down to benefit Obama? If they wrecked the global financial system it might be for quite a while.

Ok, just tell me who these "they" are?.....Who are these global conspirators are exactly.

's? Odd how this mega down day occurred right after Cox at the SEC lifted the ban on shorting financials.

There should have never been a ban...it just prolonged the inevitable.

My whole point was you have no solid facts just your feelings...that it was Soros that caused this problem...but it's the easy conclusion.

I understand your stance.

I'm not here to totally polarize you on this...and hey, I certainly don't have all the answers.

But I think you are wrong.

So we disagree.....on this subject. Don't lose sleep over it..........I ain't.

fwiw-

LOL!!! You have that right. If someone had told me six months ago that I would be posting emails from people who had been in the Hillary campaign, I would have had a few choice words to say. This is just flat out bizarre!
