Lawsuit Opposing Obama Presidential Center Grows
WTTW ^ | 1/15/19 | Paris Schutz

Posted on 01/26/2019 3:36:03 AM PST by Libloather

A federal lawsuit aiming to halt the construction of the Obama Presidential Center in Jackson Park is getting bigger.

Three separate groups on Tuesday filed amicus briefs joining the original suit filed by Protect Our Parks, alleging that it would be illegal for the Obama Foundation to go forward with the project in federally protected parkland.

The groups Preservation Chicago and Jackson Park Watch, composed of community members who have been opposed to the project from the beginning, argue that there is no precedent for a museum to be built on protected parkland, contrary to claims the city and Obama Foundation have made. Instead, they argue that museums like the Field Museum or the Museum of Science and Industry were either built on non-federally protected parkland or on the existing footprints of previously demolished buildings, or are housed within buildings that had already existed.

“Were the OPC to be built as planned in Jackson Park, any public benefit the presidential center would bring would be outweighed by the harm done to the park's historic design and the loss of open, democratic space,” the filing states.

Hussein gets the boot from the democratics. How about that...

Half the D party cannot read so why not call it Presidential Video Center and build it on a Blockbuster site?

Taxpayers need to ask Judicial Watch to place these Obama travesties on its FOIA agenda:

<><> The Chicago-based tax-exempt Obama Foundation says it wont release the names of his donors.
.........Americans need to have this information about how he intends to pay for the center.

<><> Obama is exploiting the presidency----pocketing huge speaking fees...
.........he will not reveal the terms of his speaking engagements.

<><> Comey, Clapper, Brennan, possible Susan Rice face Civil and Criminal Liability for Spying on Americans.
........Americans need to see more on this.

<><> The DOJ has info on Obama's unprecedented internal spying on Trump's 2016 campaign, including FBI docs.
.......The DOJ sent Intel Chair Devin Nunes the info.

No fraud going on here. In the eyes of a Socialist agenda, expropriating Federally protected sites for the personal aggrandization of their shining lights is but part of the policy of canonization of their particular saints, before the legacy is gone forever.

And for Obama, that legacy is becoming dimmer by the moment.

Notice it is a Center and not a Library. If it were a Library it would have one book - Rules For Radicals. You could put that in an outhouse and not take up a nice park.

Let's quit all the fussing. Just build the Obama Presidential Center in the middle of some desert somewhere, and be done with it.

Trump fired him now it turns out Secy of State Tillerson was pursuing Obama-era policies at the State Dept,
deliberately sabotaging President Trump on Iran policy, relations with Israel, the Paris Accords and other issues.
.......several prominent Obama officials who have knowledge of the Iran deal are still at the State Dept.
<><> Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, in charge of Iran and the Persian Gulf region on the policy planning staff,
<><> a former John Kerry apprentice, Michael Ratney, occupies the Israeli-Palestinian portfolio,
<><> trusted Obama aide, Yael Lempert, served under Tillerson on the same platform.

President Barack Obama is briefed by Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, Director for Iran, NSC, before taping a message to the Iranian people

===========================================

REFERENCE--- Obama's $$Billion giveaway to Iran was paid in cash Jan 22 and Feb 5 from a little-known fund administered
by the US Treasury.The so-called Judgment Fund is made up of tax dollars Congress has permanently approved in the event it's needed....

SOURCE: fiscaltreasury.gov. -----The Judgment Fund was established to pay court judgments and Justice Department compromise settlements of actual or imminent lawsuits against the government. It is administered by the Judgment Fund Section, which is a part of the United States Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service. The Judgment Fund Internet Claims System (JFICS) is the application used to process all Judgment Fund claims.

The Judgment Fund is a permanent, indefinite appropriation available to pay judicially and administratively ordered monetary awards against the United States. The Judgment Fund is also available to pay amounts owed under compromise agreements negotiated by the U.S. Department of Justice in settlement of claims arising under actual or imminent litigation, if a judgment on the merits would be payable from the Judgment Fund. The statutory authority for the Judgment Fund is 31 U.S.C. 1304.

If funds for paying an award are otherwise provided for in the appropriations of the defendant agency, the Judgment Fund may not pay an award. A federal agency may request that payment of an award be made on its behalf from the Judgment Fund only in those instances where funds are not legally available to pay the award from the agency's own appropriations.

Amounts paid vary significantly from year-to-year. Federal agencies are not required to reimburse the Judgment Fund except when cases are filed under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) or the No FEAR Act (Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act).

We can be contacted at judgment.fund@fiscal.treasury.gov or 202-874-6664.

UT-OH----J.Ansari Zarif, the Iranian deputy for parliamentary and Iranian affairs within Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said he would expose "everyone who allegedly accepted bribes" to facilitate Obama's nuke deal with Iran. "........ will reveal which western politicians received bribes.

The Obama Presidential Center's chief facilitator, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's ex-COS, says he will not seek a third term.

==========================================

BACKSTORY The Obama mob (never expecting to lose 2016) left a huge paper trail that Hillary was supposed to sweep under the Oval Office rug.
Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury.....
ponder that...... Rham was Obama's COS AND controlled Treasury.

"Mr President, you are now in complete control of the US Treasury."

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move. When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

More here: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124113406528875137.html

====================================

Pres Trump needs to to ask US Treasury officials what exactly Rahm Emanuel and Obama were doing there.

PAUSE TO REFLECT--- As taxpayers were being gulled by the TARP fraud, Obama had tight control of Treasury and spent trillions of tax dollars. Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on the US Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role.

$100 MILLION OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS ARE BEING HELD BY THE OBAMA FOUNDATION
($100 million tax dollars that we know of----probably much, much more)

Then-F/L Michele, her mother and daughters in the Moroccan palace.

Look at that smile----Obama gave her $100 million tax dollars----"to teach Muslim girls in Morocco." (OUCH)

AND GET THIS: The $100 mill is to be held by the Obama Foundation, to be doled out when necessary (cue laugh machine here).

==========================================

NOTE WELL: The $100 million "for Muslim girls" came out of the Millenium Challenge Fund at the State Dept----Hillary's fave slush fund.

ACTION NOW: Demand the books be opened-----taxpayers demand to know where the Millenium funds are going.

Lawsuit Opposing Obama Presidential Center Grows>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Since Obama is now and always was a socilialist who befriended Mugabe, and the Castros, thhis wonderful tribute to Obama should be constructed on foreign soil, whichi Obama clearly loved more tan American soil.

Three suggestions:

1) Build it is Caracas.

2) Build it in Havana.

3) Build it in Mombassa

I am sure they all would love to have the Obama Presidential Center as part of their totalitarian government.

Why?

“A federal lawsuit aiming to halt the construction of the Obama Presidential Center”

Should say: A federal lawsuit aiming to halt the construction of the Obama Temple.
