OBAMA CONNECTED TO SUNRISE EQUITIES SCANDAL, PART ONE...
The Bench ^ | 10/17/2008 | Tom Mannis

Background of the 2008 Sunrise Equities Scandal

CHICAGO - Barack Obama has strong ties to a Chicago investment company that ripped off investors for a total of approximately $80 million. Sunrise Equities shut down in August when its CEO, Salman Ibrahim, and other top officers vanished. The money seems to have gone with them. Now, the Illinois Secretary of State and the FBI are investigating the scandal.

About 150 investors, mostly Muslim, learned in August that they had lost all of their savings to the Sunrise Equities fraud. Sunrise Equities, a shariah-compliant investment firm, targeted investors who were mostly Pakistani Muslim immigrants. Many the victims took out home-equity loans to make ends meet.

The Muslim Media Network (MMN) reported this on Sept. 11:

"According to latest reports coming from Chicago the management of Sunrise Equities and the affiliated Sunrise Constructions have disappeared after closing their offices. Sunrise CEO Salman Ibrahim, Vice President Amjed Mahmood, and Vice President (Community Relations) Mohammad Akbar Zahid are untraceable."

(snip)

Barack Obama has long had strong ties to Muslims and to Pakistanis. He also has long and strong ties to Sunrise Equities and Salman Ibrahim.

Obama wanted a satellite fundraising office in the “Devon Corridor,” the largely Indian-Pakistani section of Chicago’s West Ridge neighborhood on the north side. Salman Ibrahim was happy to help. Free office space was given to Obama’s campaign within Sunrise’s general offices at 6355 N. Claremont. Obama has long wooed Muslim voters, and did not have a physical presence in this part of Chicago, so the Sunrise location made logistical sense for Obama. It also made sense for Ibrahim and Sunrise as an effort to curry favor with rising star Barack Obama.

Clearly seen in the photos is Barack Obama and Salman Ibrahim.

Unfortunately, it will not matter. McCain waited way, way too long to go on the offensive.

I took no offense, just wanted to set the record straight. It’s all good - I get the sarcasm now. Thanks!

Sorry, I get it now. No offense taken, certainly... I just wanted to avoid any possibility of it being dismissed as a diversion. Thanks to both of you. :)

Cindy on the first of the links you guys posted, an astute FReeper observed on one of the posts (dang, I can't remember who) “Another one of Obama’s friends? Doesn't this guy have any normal acquaintances?” It was so richly appropriate, I'm still chuckling!

It put a very fine point on Mr. Barack Hussein Obama!

Yeah, and, to “the One”, “all of the above” are distractions!

I don’t feel comfortable with the adage “guilt by association”; but I do believe that adage “you are known by the company you keep.”

You are also known by your admirers and supporters.

B.O.’ s company that he keeps and/or has kept, some of his known supporters and and admirers makes me feel very, very uncomfortable.

You are so right, Cindy! “The One” is up to his eyeballs in “bad company, bad admirers, and bad supporters”. Every dictator in the Arab world, seemingly, is hoping for an Obama victory.

Uncomfortable? Absolutely. An Obama Presidency would be like sleeping in a bed of rattlesnakes.

“An Obama Presidency would be like sleeping in a bed of rattlesnakes.”

How much you wanna bet this is a “distraction”?

And furthermore, it’s racist!

I certainly don’t want to discourage you. We have to keep fighting.

This is a huge story and the Chicago MSM will not report on it.

I know he passed away a few years ago, but where is Sherman Skolnick when you need him? If someone has access to his notes, I bet he'd have something to say about all this. These schemes are right up his alley.

The liberal establishment really is chipping away at the wall still protecting us from becoming a socialist state.
