Blagojevich Arrested On Corruption Charges After Going Up Against Bank of America
- Text size
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars
December 8, 2008
Isn’t it odd that Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich is suddenly arrested on corruption charges the day after he announced he is asking all Illinois government agencies to suspend business with Bank of America?
Not really. Blagojevich’s arrest sends a strong signal that going up against the banksters will not be tolerated. “Blagojevich contended that Bank Of America received a multi-billion dollar bailout from the government and should accordingly restore credit to the Republic Windows & Doors company in Chicago,” writes Katharine Zaleski for the Huffington Post.
Last week the workers of Republic Windows & Doors occupied a factory in Chicago after the company closed down and stiffed the workers. “Workers said they were entitled to be given 60 days notice of the closure of the plant and demanded pay for that period as well as any unused vacation time,” the BBC reported.
Blagojevich demanded the Bank of America take “some of that federal tax money that they’ve received and invest it by providing the necessary credit to this company so these workers can keep their jobs.”
Blagojevich made the comment at the same time president select Obama expressed support for the workers. “It’s also important for us to make sure that the plans and programs that we design aren’t just targeted at maintaining the solvency of banks, but they’re designed also to get money out the door and to help people on Main Street,” said Obama.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Rod Blagojevich, of course, is not Barack Obama, who is in the process of stuffing his administration with bankster insiders, CFR members, and Federal Reserve and Goldman Sachs mobsters such as Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Paul Volcker.
It didn’t take long for the U.S. attorney’s office to crank out a 78-page criminal complaint against Blagojevich. It is said Blagojevich attempted to sell off the vacancy of Obama’s Senate seat and considered naming himself to the Senate. It is not difficult to believe Blagojevich is a crook and would do such a thing. He has shady ties to Antoin “Tony” Rezko, the political fundraiser, restaurateur, and real estate developer convicted on several counts of fraud and bribery.
On the other hand, the sudden appearance of a federal compliant against him after he attempted to stick it to the criminal organization known as the Bank of America is rather suspicious, to say the least.
The impending prosecution of Blagojevich sends a powerful message to other governors, mayors, city council members around the country: don’t mess with the international banking cartel, the global financial mafia.

Just like Spitzer of NY was doing something unapproved….
Head checks…. sends mesages to the rest of them
my word- we are sunk in muck of a corrupt empire
December 9th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
aha the plot thickens. whenever they go after anyone you have to wonder why. same as what was that guys name they nabbed for supposed insider trading who sided with we are change and the other guy spitzer. just too many to list. but i’m sure i’m just being paranoid.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
The criminal complaint filed cites tapes recorded last month in an ongoing investigation against Blagojevich, so this has been in the works for awhile, and is not, as you would try to imply, related in any way to comments made only yesterday. When I can do a better fact check in 30 seconds than this site can be bothered to do at all before posting, I find it hard to take anything on here seriously.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
its crazy how the dots are connected but no one pays attention
December 9th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
look into ucc redemption,and take back your soverignty.find out about your straw man.and how to get him or her back.
December 9th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
bulls---..this guy got caught..f--- him he is a gun grabber??!!
December 9th, 2008 at 2:56 pm
People need to rise up, kidnap these crooks and line them all up on the gallows.When will the masses realize that there are more of us than there is of them.Kill a few of them to let them know we mean business.Start a global strike and put everything to a complete halt.Ever wonder why gas prices dropped ? It’s because of the rationing people did.Americans can pat themselves on the back for a job well done.Now if we can do the same for all products,including food,utilities and the like,we can curb most of this corporate greed.If you stop buying their products,they can’t get filthy rich.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Alex Jones lies about everything. The governor is not in any trouble. This is a hoax to see how the american people would respond to someone being accused by the fbi .
It’s been admitted and documented that this would happen, just google it. That’s all Alex ever says… GOOGLE IT GOOGLE IT ITS ADMITTED ITS DECLASSIFIED ITS ADMITTED using the internet as a viable source of information.
The government needs to protect us and shut down sites like this that are not credible by any means.

Haha BITCH!! I hate him and so does everyone else in Illinois! That punk was “too good” to come live in our govenors mansion because he HATES our town! The capitol of our state! He wont even show his f---in face here! He cut funding to our new Lincoln Museum which cost millions of dollars and a few years to build..it went from being open everyday to only on the weekends, he cut funding to our national parks, and wildlife preserves ..hes a f---in BASTARD!! Now we just need to get rid of Obama before his ass gets inaugurated and fire the rest of them motherf---ers in office, and WE THE PEOPLE take over and take back America!!
December 9th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
That didn’t take long at all ! I cut off ties with bank of america myself and everybody om here should as well! Down with the banksters
December 9th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
William #3 – there is a difference between an investigation and accusations! Good luck with life.

They have dirt on everyone before they let them in the club.
You go against the system, they dig up your grave.
You don’t see people like Mother Theresa, Dalai Llama being invited into these bad boy clubs.
You have to be just like them if you want to compete and play with the big boys.
BofA is like the husband in a wife murder case.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
MESS WITH THE BULL AND YOU GET THE HORNS.
NO ONE IS SAFE. ALL YOU GOV SHEEP ARE NOT SAFE.
THIS IS A MASSIVE WIPEOUT.
THE GOV WILL BE DRUGGED AND GAGGED.
OBAMA POLICE STATE 2009 IS A GO
December 9th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
well, He want up against the bank, but he did try and sell that senate seat. He might of had a big heart but lets not get him mixed in with good people here. The man is a crook and should get locked up if he did in fact try and sell a seat to the US Senate.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
they have begun the revolution in greece. when will it begin in america?
http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/u.....p;src=news
December 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
This is why they call it the “criminal” justice system. The criminals run it! lol! The whole purpose of the “bailout” was to line the pockets of the FINANCIAL TYRRANTS. Its absolutely implausible to think that the same banks who PRINT OUR MONEY are “insolvent” as barack Obama claims. Someone tell me how a bank such as Citicorp is bankrupt when they own the majority of shares in the FEDERAL RESERVE? It wasn’t a bailout it was a BOONDOGGLE. THe American people are completely demoralized. Hopeless. What is the cause of our indifference towards public policy? If this was, say, colombia, there would of been a coupe de tat by now. generation after generation of Americans have allowed congress after congress to load us with debt and pilfer our personal property (income).
December 9th, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Governor Blagojevich has been under investigation for several years. It is not surprising to us in Illinois that he has been charged with corruption. I do not not think him going up against Bank of America lead to the charges. It was very likely he was going to get charged regardless if he stood up against Bank of America or not.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
saber rattiling: It wont begin in America! Never. Americans are too brainwashed, dumbed down, drugged up and blase towards public policy. We dont read books and watch too much tv. the only 2 things we are interested in are gas prices and the mall. This is perhaps the most enslaved nation on earth. Its a MIND PRISON. A Holographic NATIONAL CELL.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
ok this is to “Alex Lies” you need to be f---ing shot you ignorant brainwashed piece of s---! It’s not a hoax you f---ing moron, im from Illinois so he was my governor and he has been f---in up you have no idea of the ways he has f---ed up our state because you dont f---ing live here! And as far as this website goes its a great place to get real information the government doesnt want you know about..so you go ahead and go watch f---in FOX News, MSNBC and CNN and get your info from there you brainwashed f--- tard, have fun playing your little game and eating your pizza and all of the pieces of s--- the government continues to feed you…but dont come to us asking for help when the s--- hits the fan!!
December 9th, 2008 at 3:12 pm
# 6 he is still the governor of our state of IL. Hopefully soon he will impeached or resigns. Before he does anything else to hurt our state.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
As someone from illinois I have no sympathey for him , Now watch the Republicans sweep the illinois goverment and have the Republican party governor go to jail. I don’t care if he did pissed off the Democrats wall street friends
December 9th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
i agree, this guy has had it coming for years. he’s a total and complete crook and it’s not hard to see when you look at who he has ties to. i’m not sure about this bank of america stuff, not saying i don’t believe it but most likely he was going to be charged and maybe this is what made them do it now and not later. seriously though, this guys is a horrible governor and is NOT for the people whatsoever. this article may bias (intentionally or not) people outside of illinois into thinking he caerd about them but he was as dirty as them all. he may have pissed the wrong person off this time around but he was pissing the right people off for years.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
This was not a sudden arrest of Gov. Blago. A case against him had been growing ever since Tony Rezko’s arrest last winter, and has been accelerating in the past months. I’m not saying that the Bank of America situation didn’t have anything to do with his arrest today, but it is also not correct to say that it was all of the sudden. The theory is also a bit to “post hoc” for me to believe, IMO.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Gee, that didn’t take long! You can’t bitch about the Don, any one of them, if you do they give you up to the “altar of fighting corruption” so the rest can keep on taking from all the rackets. Sound familiar? I’ve seen this movie before. Only the names change to protect the guilty.

It is not this site at fault.
It is the responsibility of us to check factuality and most importantly to think critically about what it is we see and read. 30 seconds of research does not exactly qualify as “research” either. That being said at least you did look for 30 seconds.
@ All of us who post
It is also in my mind that this site doesn’t fact check it merely makes available an avenue for information. It is still our responsibility to check and inform ourselves.
I believe we would serve each other better if we used this forum to present ideas more often then we do to just rant.

We need HONEST people in power to stick it to the banksters, like Ron Paul. They had to scrape the bottom of the barrel so hard to get dirt on him that they desperately released a story that he wrote racist comments years ago!
December 9th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
It’s simple. STOP paying your loans to the banksters if they participated in the bailout. The bailout WAS your loan repayment. They don’t get any more. If they send someone to force you out of your house, treat them like you would any armed suspect coming to your home to attack your family. That should send a very clear message, especially if it happens all over the country.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
# 22 Blagojevich is a democrat not a republican. Unless I am mistaken. I also do not have sympathy for him or our state or local government. Its all corrupt from the state level to the local level.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
you suck dude. Not my fault you were born an idiot that believes everything that is ever said by the media, and whoever else wants to screw u. Alex_Lies. “internet as a viable source of information.” IDIOT when you google the information, it comes back from Reuters, Associated Press, UK Times, Chicago Times in this case. Not my fault you can’t read jack ball. your a joke

December 9th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
So the fact that the feds have the man on TAPE, as part of an investigation spanning several MONTHS, in which he talks about selling the senate seat, and runs through possible “excuses” he could give the public for naming himself to the senate spot … is all just a coincidence?
Please.
The case against this guy is rock solid. The 78-page complaint by the US Attorney was probably written months ago, and like most legal documents is mostly just fill-in-the-blank anyway.
Bank of America, maybe. But don’t the propaganda that this man was framed.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Alex_Lies, you need to stay off the crack, or at least cut it down to 5 hits a day

December 9th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
If what you say is true, Barrack Suddom Hussein Bin Ladin was probably in on it.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Interesting that the investigation has been going on for several months. Obama did not win the election till 11/4/08. I am not sure the day he resigned from his senate seat. But it does not make sense to me unless all the mighty ones are preselected and have to be a name sake puppet for some higher power that controls all and every action.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Mr. Nimmo,
Do you even do the least amount of research before you type an article with your name on it? This didn’t come up suddenly. The Feds have been looking at Blago for a long time now. Did you even look at the wiretap transcripts? He’s as guilty as sin. Blago was just trying to make himself look good to his potential jurors.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Blagojevich is a scum and has been under investigation since before 2005. Anyone who can read can see the dates.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
In all fairness here, the GOVERNMENT’S argument against Bank of America is a Marxist one. Quite frankly, Bank of America should stop doing business with the government. We don’t need the government, but the government needs the free market. Bank of America should divest of itself dollars and convert to real money, i.e., gold and silver, especially since the Federal Reserve is getting ready to blow the dollar out.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
poeple lets change our bank accout to some other bank
December 9th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
People reading the board… Just listen to Alex and you will see for yourself that he is right on point when it comes to just about everything. Just listen to his show and you will start to get an idea of what he is about and then you can judge for yourself. I am 100% confident that if you listen to the show you will see that Alex and his team can be trusted. Are they always right… NO they are human. But is the mainstream media alway right… NO 1000 times over. At least Alex admits when he makes a mistake.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
I agree that not everything that happens is a conspiracy, but don’t tell Alex “Dale Gribble” Jones that. He will call you a Genocidal Globalist Member of the Bilderberg NWO™.
That said, this guy looks unbeliebably skeevy. WTF is wrong with people in Illinois anyway? I’ll bet Hitler or Pol Pot could have run for U.S. Senate or Governer there and won easily, as long as they are a union card carrying liberal Democrat.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
So let me get this right, Illinois has no Senator since Obama resigned and now we have no governor since he is in jail. Buh ha ha lol. That’s IT! I’m running for Obama’s Senate Seat!
December 9th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
not everything is a conspiracy. i’m sorry but it’s not. people on here really need to read what is going on with governor blagojevich. he has been investigated for years for corruption. it’s not because of bank of america that he got arrested. hell he hasn’t even been indicted yet. he was arrested because he is a very corrupt man. i like coming on here and getting news but this article here makes me weary about what i read on here now because it is very inaccurate on what is going on in illinois. state and local governments are corrupt here in illinois.
December 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
What a pig.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Hey Gov. B !! I’m available for the Senate..
Meet me at Doolin’;s bar on West Madison, ask for Skippy… I’ll buy…
December 9th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
Come on now people !! with this type of article you make all of us look so bad when we open our mouth about 9/11 because you don’t know when to stop and when to start with the true facts. This guy is dirty as one person can be. We was under investigation for a long time and all that bank thing did is to get some supporters on his side because he knew he was going down. Maybe the bank thing just sped up the process for him to get to jail but that’s definitely not the reason why he went to jail.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Of course he is guilty of something, they all are. But the point here is that they arrested him after he denounced B of A and got the protesting workers in the lime light of the bank. Did anyone notice that the factory got the credit they needed and the protest is over as of…. TODAY! Kinda coincidental don’t ya think.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Lets replace this crook with another crook because all politicians are crooked.They are all in servitude of Lucifer just like all you yayhoos.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
What about the company? Why did BA cut off credit? Maybe it’s not the banks fault if they are behind their bills by $millions. Also, if the company is uncompetitive than why continue to support it?
It really amazes me how everyone wants a shair of the bailout thievery.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

good comments #55 rob
December 9th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
this is highly contentious and perhaps maybe apples and oranges
the illinois governor was arrested for attempting to sell a senate seat of the government of the united states of america – um, kinda serious business in the least
banksters have plenty to worry about – like getting caugtht sooner or later
on the contrary, praise and thanks to all those who sought justice in this particular case
it seems the corruption scandal is very wide, and we might be in for more indictments
i understand the frustration with the wall st/banker bailout, but the most pressing issue of that situation is the creation of the Treasury as a seperate branch of government. if you add in the dept. homeland security (sic) then our government has 5 branches, not 3.
The governor somehow got inbetween a lot of crosscurrents.
That is excruciatingly important to understand that the Treasury was elevated to a branch of governemnt. And thru the Patriot Acts (sic) a department of homeland security was created, contracted, then the contractor was made a branch of government. It is even written in policy that in the event of martial law (sic – since WWII we’ve been under martial law) homeland security takes the lead role in government (sic)
we are in a constituional crisis that people who can affect a remedy need to be desperately better informed
also, to those who take umbrage to the above article, some people’s batting average are not like babe ruth’s. chicago is in utter shock right now. and other politicians should be worried that those treasonous activities they got involved in and those off shore bank accounts are gonna get seized.
this our nation is in horrror of what has happened to our way of life – freedom of speech after a day always clears things up.
it’s better to have an active press, then the lack of press that the main stream media has been shoveling out.
again, much thanks to prosecution team in chicago – it is simply extroidinary and breathtaking
like the bankruptcy of 1933, which nobody even seems to even be able to recollect, what has happened to our Executive, Legislative, and Judicial form of government is nothing less than catastrophic.
dept of treasury has to be demoted at some point and the dept. of homeland security has to be folded. period. what the founding fathers made actually works amazingly well.
if anybody tells you different he’s the enemy of our liberties, sovereignty, and nation. that or they are an egg head who should read more american history (sic)
if HR 1955 and HR 1959 come into law, then the building blocks for pinochet style government fronted assisnation squads will be rounding people into sports stadiums for confessions and executions. This will be legally framed by the 5 or 6 total branches of government the enemy of the USA has laid to spring forth it appears in using the wall st bailout and 911 atrocity as cover.
This website has been a grand slam winner in bringing up much needed topics for discussion. um, don’t sweat the little stuff.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
His lack of sophistication in negotiating with Obama imay be a sign of his inherent honesty. If he was inherently dishonest, this transaction would go by unnoticed. Seems like he is just trying to emulate the bad boys around him, but he just dosen’t have what it takes. It is really painful to watch somebody do something they are not cut out for. There is a lesson here for everybody, and that is be yourself. LOL
December 9th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
When I saw yesterday he was banning business with Bank of America, my thoughts were he was going to be killed by the banksters. So when I heard this morning he was arrested it didn’t surprise me. Proves these people are crazy
December 9th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
YOU ARE IDIOTS. I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND THIS MAN IS ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPT PEOPLE EVER. HE IS NOTORIOUS, AND IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. LOOK TO COMMENT 55 BECAUSE THEY SAY IT BETTER THAN I CAN. BUT YES> THIS IS NOT SOME SYMBOL of opression TO THE PEOPLE> WATCH THE f---ING VIDEO, THI BASTARD WAS TRYING TO SELL OBAMA”S SEAT IN THE SENATE.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
caught both ways since the government has already sold us, had to side with the money.
2 POINTS FOR THE BANKERS TODAY. They still lost one point for sheepol being made aware of the corruption. Looks like we may still be gaining.
December 9th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
For all of you Flourideheads who have lost all sense of critical thinking, Mr. Nimmo is not saying that the government just all of a sudden decided to prosecute (quickly put together a 78 page indictment) Governor Blogbitch or that he is not a guilty piece of cagata, but that he finds it most interesting (obviously not surprising) that the day after he proposes and recommends that Ill. state agencies give B of A the shaft on state contracts, that the FBI (I Be Curly) comes and arrests Gov Blog in his jogging suit. Look at the absurdity here. The bankers go scott free and get to butt f**k all of us schmos while the crooked governor gets to be paraded around as the “really evil” criminal that he probably is. Nonetheless, keep on writing Mr. Nimmo, it is much more informative than knowing what Grossman or Hester are eating for dinner.

# 67 if you have not heard Bank of America has decided to compensate those workers in Chicago.
Also, again what is going on with the arrest of Gov. Blagojevich has absolutely nothing to do with Bank of America. Is it weird that he got arrested the day after he went to the sit in with the workers at that factory? Yes. However, you have to look at the whole picture not just this article on here.
Gov. Blagojevich has been investigated for 3 years now!!!!!!! There was no doubt that he would have been arrested for what he has been doing.
Hell all of Illinois is corrupt. From the local level to the state level. Illinois has had 3 governors convicted of corruption.

Were not saying “he’s a victim!” were merely pointing out that the banks (in this case the Bank of America) are the fathers of this corruption. This man recieved power from the institution,; he got greedy and went against the institution; the institution destroyed him. plain and simple. Everyone here is guilty. There was no justice served, just an excommunication from a circle of corruption. And plz, don’t use all caps.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Ditto, I completely and irrevocably disagree with this article, and I hope Alex Jones has the wisdom to remove it from his site ASAP. Blagoyevich is a crook and was since day one, and I earnestly hope Daley Jr. is next to be arrested! I am a former resident of a Chicago suburb.
This article is really ruining Alex’s reputation if he keeps it up.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
I used tom come here for a different point of view. But you stupid dopes take the cake. Here we have a corrupt pieve of sh1t in Illionois, CLOSELY associated with Barack ‘the messiah’ Obama and you dopes at this website think it was the BANK who is to blame for this. F’ing unbelieveable. talk about blind sheep. you people over here are retarted. Alex Jones is a TOOL if he thinks that bank of America is to blame. NO RETARDS, this DUCHEBAG who somehow became gov of illinois (god knows how). he is corrupt, plain and simple. No FCKING CORPORATE CONSPIRACY. Jesus, can’t you TARTS just see it for what it is?
December 9th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Governor has no plans to resign, this is very similar to what happened to Elloit Spitzer when He took a stand against bush and the Banksters.

ALEX!!!!i love u to death man…but this is just plain retarted. blagojevich is one of the most crooked politicians in illinois!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 9th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
I dont know if anyone has mentioned this but God TV ch.365 on directv is playing Riddles in Stone a program about the secret societies, occult symbols, etc in our nation. They also are talking about alot of the same stuff Alex Jones speaks of. People are waking up in droves! If you know any religous types that might not lesten to Alex yet, these programs may be just what they need to see.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
When I saw this, I was scared Alex wrote it and had perhaps sold out or something. Fortunately, Alex didn’t write it. This article is moronic to say the least. Even if the premise were somehow true, the implication it has something to do with hassling BOA is absurd. Did they manufacture all three years worth of info in the investigation and all the tapes of him and his wife engaging in the most shameful crap I’ve heard in ages. Yah, Blago’s a great guy, all Illinois govs are that’s why 4 out of the last 7 aren’t doing so well know – they must have went after powerful banks too. WTF Ever.
This article is being a contrarian for it’s own sake not b/c there’s anything to it. I mean, I took at 15 minute dump yesterday did that cause bago to get jailed? If not then why does his going after BOA? Some things are just coincidences for God’s sake.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
I’m sure plenty of people from the CCCP state of IL have beat to it: but this couldn’t have happened to a “better” governor.
From handgun bans, to suggesting soldiers in the streets tof chicago , to handgun bans, high taxes, and of course his part in one of the most corrupt regimes in the world , the Chicago machine which runs our state with some of the most f’d up laws out there….
My GUESS: BOA didn’t “pay up” – otherwise this man woud have said nothing about them.
I am sure they had this indictment waiting ardoun for just this type of thing, and probably have something similar for most of the slimy coprrupt politicians littering the USA, should they speak out against the BEAST
good bye Blagojevich, hope they ship you back to Russia where you came from
December 9th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
He’ll probably be put on the rack. . .
December 9th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
typical of such silly sites. you people are like lemmings – led by the nose by likes of the guy that runs this site. unbelievable…
December 9th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
I will comment one more time since my first three short responses didn’t get posted because of the f---ed up word press program this site refuses to lose. The Bank of Amerika is really part of the bank of England and I’m willing to bet there was no attempt to sell Obama’s senate seat but rather the gov was framed by a B of A exec calling in the phony claim to get back at the gov. This is a taste of how the govs will be treated in the future, go against the banks go to jail! I think he will be exonerated but that’s not saying Illinois doesn’t have it’s share of corruption.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Wake up to the fact that corrupt Government has ongoing investigations into EVERY major politician (most of them indeed corrupt). The Corrupt Government is ready to pull the trigger on anyone deemed a threat. This is no coincidence.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
RONALD REAGAN …. Why don’t you take your jelly bellies and put them you know where. The writer made a mistake and you want to dis-credit the whole movement! By the way you were a horrible president and I hope you are burning in hell you traitor! PS your movies sucked! LOL
December 9th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
PS – I’m not sure a lot of people know this, but like NYC and some other states – the IL has a FOID card – firearms identification owners card
He didnt invent it or introduce it but he favoried INCREASING the requirements for this anti-constitutional law.
I simply had ammunition in some boxes in the back of a truck when I was moving and was charged with a FELONY for not having this BS card, which I could have had but didn’t file the application out of protest. (I know those who have a different “interpretation” of the 2nd amendment say I got what I deserved. When I hired an attorney to fight the charges and asked her if I had a constitutional defense against the charges – she laughed! And she was a good atttorney who liked to stick it to the cops! Thankfully she was able to plead it down, I took the lower charge – yeah weak but F going to IL state prisons, if the prisoners don’t get you- the guards WILL!) The IL police ar ecorrupt all over (not uncommon in the “land of the free”)
Other BS I’ve been constantly fined for – TINTED WINDOWS – IL wants to see in the windows of all the cars.
Anyway there’s plenty of other stuff – like the child support laws of IL – OMG. And of course they don’t help single fathers, only females.
I think it would be fair to go back and re-write all the laws here that were signed by all the proven corrupt officials here.
The smoking ban which is killing businesses – basically tells the business that the state owns their property, not the other way around.
All this and more, is why I say Fk all politicians!
(PS I dont care if you think I should have been arrested for this crap, thats why I got an attorney – the legal system is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT when you have one. The juge doesn’t just take everything a cop says as fact – and cops, so used to lying and bullying, can’t do anything against an educated lawyer who KNOWS YOUR RIGHTS. Though system-wide the constitution really doesn’t mean much unless you have BIG DOLLARS to take it all the way to the Supreme Court – YEAH GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.)
The 1st American Revoultion was fought over way less.
December 9th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
You guys need to read the article before you rush to the bottom of the page to post a comment.
Kurt Nimmo clearly states that this guy is a jerk and a piece of s---, but that it’s just too much of a coincidence that Blagojevich is arrested the day after he screws with Bank of America. Just because he is saying that maybe Blagojevich was arrested for something other than selling the Senate seat doesn’t mean that Kurt Nimmo is praising him or anything.
There is nothing contrarian about this. Some of you people look at life in black and white and it just isn’t. Sometimes crooks can get a little big for their britches and end up getting the whip from the crook on top.
In life, when it’s bad vs bad, you go with the lesser of two evils.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Hey Reagan#73 and #71 we won’t listen to a word of your insults, these are just points of view not testimony for a f---ing courtroom. This is just speculation on the people’s part to get points of view that everyone’s entitled to including YOU to go after some truth! The gov may be a crook too I’m sure but B of A is just as if not more corrupt. STOP f---ING INSULTING EVERYONE! IT’S ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING AND MAKES PEOPLE LEAVE THE SITE THAT ARE LOOKING FOR SOME ANSWERS. YOUR NOT HELPING MATTERS WITH YOUR VITRIOLIC ATTACKS ON THE LESS INFORMED. NOT EVERYONE KNOWS AS MUCH AS YOU THINK YOU DO!

December 9th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
ronald reagan must have not payed attention in public school. it would be easier to take him serious if he could at least spell his insults better. if you cant show us you can even spell “tard” instead of “tart” or how about “retarded” instead of “retarted”, then why should we even respond….probably a government employee. you know, like those rude people at the license branch or local sheriffs dept. what a tard! see, there you go, i spelled it correctly and used it in a sentence…
December 9th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
CHECK THIS OUT!!!!!
Bank of America isn’t the only criminal organization Blago pissed off. Check out this story from Infowars from a couple of years ago when he called out Dyncorp on human trafficking;
http://www.infowars.com/articl.....candal.htm
December 9th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Rezko is involved with Obama and he gets elected President..
The Gover of Ill is involved with Rezko and he gets locked up.
This guy Rezko should be elected President abd governor … GHe seems to be running everything else.
We definitely are a tolerant nation, either that or nobody gives a damn.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
There is no coincidence – Chicago, Cook County and the State of Illinois have all been under FBI investigations for AT LEAST 4 years. I was living in Chicago when sometime in ‘04 or ‘05 the lead investigator got on local Chicago TV, specifically addressing how difficult it will be to gather evidence and witnesses against Daley Jr. alone. Hell on every election day in the city limits, the dead rise from the grave and half the illegals are magically made US citizen for a day! My fellow (former) Chicagoans will surely get that. Anyway, Blago may be the fall guy but the reason are much more complex than him bashing the B of A.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
HEY, THINK ON THIS FOR A WHILE. THE CIA MOTTO IS AS FOLLOWS: ADMIT NOTHING, DENY EVERYTHING, AND DEMAND PROOF… I REALLY LIKE THE DEMAND PROOF PART….WHY, YOU ASK? WELL I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE PROOF IS THIS GUY HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG. I DONT DOUBT HE IS A s---BAG, BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE THAT HE DID WHAT THEY SAY??? YOU EVER NOTICE THAT WHEN THERE REALLY IS TRUTH OR EVIDENCE TO SOMETHING, THE “SYSTEM” IS TRYING TO SHOVE IT DONWN OUR THROATS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BRAG. PLAY THE f---ING TAPES! WE ARE ALL ADULTS, EXCEPT FOR A FEW s---BAGS ON HERE THAT WANT TO LIVE IN DISNEYLAND OR ” IM A REAL PATRIOT LAND, GO COLTS”. PLAY THE TAPES, PLAY THE TAPES, PLAY THE TAPES!!!! OTHERWISE, IM MORE LIKELY TO BELIEVE THAT MAYBE HE IS JUST GETTING THE SHAFT BY THE BANKERS AFTERALL.
OH, ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY THESE DUMBASS s--- BAGS GET ON HERE THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO CONVINCE ANYONE THAT ALEX JONES IS FULL OF s---. EVERY TIME HE SAYS GOOGLE IT, GUESS WHAT, I GOOGLE IT! FOUR YEARS OF HIGHSCHOOL AND A YEAR OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND EVERYTHING HE SAYS TO GOOGLE I CAN FIND, SO THERE ARE SOME REALLY STUPID f---ING PEOPLE OUT THERE IF THEY CANT FIND IT.
December 9th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
# 81 he will not be exonerated. I’m sorry but this has been going for several years here in Illinois.
We already have one former Governor that was convicted on corruption charges back in 2006 and Gov. Blagojevich was his successor.
We in Illinois are tired of all the corruption.

Wrrhh wrrhh wrrhh – WARNING – black helicopter brigade out in full force – wrrhh wrrhh wrrhh
December 9th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
MSM claims that they chose today because he was about to take action such as appoint a replacement for Obama. MSM also said that it had to be done today before he went to the office. What was the first thing he was going to do today in his office? Was he going to go after BOA? Can someone speak to his attorney and get the answer on this?
December 9th, 2008 at 8:05 pm
#92 You want proof. Well I can tell you something that he does do. He doesn’t even stay in our governor mansion in Springfield. He uses taxpayers money to fly back and forth from Chicago to Springfield.
Read the affidavit. It’s been on the internet. The Chicago Tribune was involved and did an article on whats going on before today.
This has nothing to do with Bank of America. He has been investigated for years. And here in Illinois we have had 3 governors arrested and convicted of corruption. He will be the fourth.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:30 pm
All this reinforces the not-so-secret, secret that such rampant corruption is more the rule than the exception these days. This guy is probably guilty — and he probably would have gotten away with it — had he not stepped out of line.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:40 pm
“We need more people like Mr.Blagojevich, af USA let federal lawinforcment intefire were people is trying to save jobs, then we could call it dictatorship where only banks could still the money,when some one(like Mr Blagojevich)try to tell them that they are wrong, fed. government is rightway on their side”.
America need change,legal mafia should not be allowed to still billions of dollar, then on expence of working people ask feredral government bail them out…
December 9th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
#85 is completely right. #77 Bill, and #73 R.R. – Nimmo is not saying that Blago is not corrupt and that Bank of America is to blame, he is pointing out a major coincidence of events. Also, I’d like to point out that if you have ever read any of Nimmo’s other articles you would find that he points out that pretty much all politicians are corrupt. This article just raises a question as to why some corrupt officials get busted and others don’t… Cook county may have been under investigation for some time now, but it wasn’t until now that he was arrested.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Monday morning I was having my usual breakfast of oatmeal and CNN and I actually felt a glimmer of hope that a high ranking politician finally got some real air time bashing the bankster bailout fraud that the media has been spoon feeding the sleeping American public. Even though I maintain a healthy distrust for any politician above the office of dog catcher, I applauded Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich for standing up to the politics of corruption that has metastasized throughout our political and economic system.
Today i could hardly finish my steaming bowl as I followed the “breaking news”. Illinois Governor arrested after standing up to BofA. Of course I as everyone who frequents these pages was not at all surprised at this turn of events, as it is now a forgone conclusion that not only the lower caste “useless eaters” have been delegated to the ranks of terrorist for expressing an enlightened opinion, but now an ever more frequent parade of government officials astray of the law occupy the “top three” stories of the day.
I thought to myself out loud that just around the corner now lurks the new age incarnation of Waffen-SS. With the approval of the ever-compliant public we may soon see the black shirted exterminators of free thought simply lining up the disobedient or dissidents for mass public executions.
We have definitely crossed the Rubicon into dangerous and familiar territory with these latest travesties of justice against politicians, reporters, organizers and the public at large. This is a frightening time in history that we are re-visiting “live on CNN”, instead of the gray and lifeless images of the Holocaust or Gulags we have seen on the History Channel.
One asks them self, when will the people wake up and say “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more”. Perhaps it is time for “Network” the reality show where we can all be entertained by watching and wondering which subversive perpetrator of constitutional liberty will be tortured or killed by a government official with a penchant for double speak and the personality of a sociopath game show host.
End of Rant…
December 9th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
wait wut the fbi is saying he tried to sell obama’s senate seat? sounds bogus. funny how the fbi can never bust the dealys and none of chicago’s finest ever get brought up on federal human rights violation charges. i’m sure chicago and illinois are utterly corrupt just like ohio and all the other mafia run fiefdoms, but is the fbi really trying to claim he sold obama’s empty seat?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
In name of democracy USA bombard half of world,just before 700 billion of US $ were stolen, can some one explaim, why in USA ,,democracy” martial law was ready to act, most of all, (if not agaist US taxpayers) against whom?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Book to follow.
We send a youger generation off to fight a war in a country we shouldn’t be in and use words like “honor” , “commitment”, “character” and yet thsi is the example our politicians set at home. This is to the point of being disgusting.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Oh lord. this has nothing to do with BoA. Come on guys, you need to make a “conspiracy” out of this. The guy is a piece of garbage crook. This is what should be happening to the majority of elected officials. Don’t make a mockery out of your own website.
I guess to people whop don’t live in the “Land of Obama” errr, Lincoln , it might smell of conspiracy, but it isn’t. Not even a long shot.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Although the name Bank of America remains, it is really Nationsbank, formerly headed by Hugh McCall, a member of David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission, who resigned from the bank under suspicious circumstances.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
#104 Very Very Good Comment. I wish more people see that this has nothing to do with Bank of America. But with a very corrupt governor from my state.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:19 pm
Hell yeah it’s because he said BOA should be boycotted in Illinois! I don’t doubt he has done SOME monkey business as a politician, but honestly name 1 that hasn’t. I’ve been arrested for far less a crime and my bail was 5k, had this guy really done what they are accusing him of he would be remanned to confinement meaning NO BAIL NO WAY NO HOW! $4500 bail is a get out of jail free card for these allegations. Basically politicians can do anything, ANYTHING for love but they CAN’T do that, oh no they can’t do that! Step out of line like that and you will be removed from the spotlight.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
This has nothing to do with BOA. I live in the Chicago area and everyone living here knows all of the politicians from Illinois are as corrupt as can be. This was a long time coming. I am curious if this will lead to Obama or Daley.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Я мочиусь на вас американцы. Вы получите ярость медведя скоро.
December 9th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
Can they arrest just his hair?
December 9th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
this leads all the way to the top which is really the bottom of the funking barrel
December 9th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
for people who think BOA was involved BOA has said that they will give the factory in chicago credit.
there is not a conspiracy. he was arrested for being corrupt. he has been investigated for several years and the investigation was leading up to this arrest. there will be more charges as this goes on. more people involved and arrested.
not everything is because of the banksters and them running our government.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
what are you kidding? this investigation is what 5 yrs old. boa deserves some yuck after giving credit cards to illegals that can’t pay…this has to do with power and money…money and power, get in the game, will ya?
December 9th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
i can’t stand to listen to the talking heads. sitting there extrapolating upon the basis of an accusation and rumors. they have little to no evidence and yet they talk and talk about it. while the underlaying accusation may prove to be true in court, this “news” is little more than mockingbird gossip in an echo chamber. plus all the little things they put in behind the people to hypnotize you and send you into a trace. its so mind numbing.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
the top of what the democratic party…predient elect-BO…yeah i agree, let the unions take over the big 3…then we will know exactly what they are doing…
no car czar, no card check, no bailout…
December 9th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Kurt said: “the sudden appearance of a federal compliant against him after he attempted to stick it to the criminal organization known as the Bank of America is rather suspicious, to say the least.
…don’t mess with the international banking cartel, the global financial mafia.”
This is such a joke of an article.
The FBI has weeks of wire tap recordings they didn’t just make this up one day after saying what he did about Bank of America…as if BofA has any obligation to extend credit to a bankrupt company.
I’d also like to know if the governor actually has the authority to force all Illinois government agencies to suspend business with Bank of America. Probably not.
Cook up another piece of crap Kurt. Your dumbed down audience eats them all up.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
To #104 Alan;
The B of A is a dirty bank. It launders money for the underworld and the CIA (same thing).I’ve had
my own battles with these bitches and they enjoy the fight with bogus accounts they assign.
I don’t care about the governor being right or wrong. If you can’t connect the dots, leave it alone
and let those who know……. talk about it.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
#112,
I have to agree, I don’t think BOA was involve with his arrest. There is a lot of corruption in the political arena. I just wonder how far up the chain of politician this goes? I will bet if he keeps his mouth shut, he will probably serve time at some white-colar high class minimun security prison.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
The first thought I had this morning upon hearing of this situation was, wasn’t this the guy I just heard yesterday talking about Bank of America pulling the rug out from underneath Republic Windows and Doors operations? Wasn’t this the guy talking about the State of Illinois no longer doing any business with Bank of America? The timing is just way too suspect here folks. Supposedly there had been an ongoing investigation into this Governor’s dealings, but it culminated before sunrise TODAY? This is a thinly veiled message from the Banksters. A horse’s head under the bed sheets. And the mainstream media didn’t see one thing odd about it, which is another sure fire sign of a path leading directly to the Federal Reserve. Bank of America giving the line of credit back to Republic Windows and Doors is simply a smokescreen tactic. Just another warning, as if we need more, that this criminal banking cartel in this country has got to go. And they’ve got to go quickly.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Linda,
You say you don’t care if Gov Blagojevich was right or wrong. I must that is scary. Seems to me Alex Jones is also brainwashing along with the government, with the comments people are making for this article. I am from Illinois and like most of the people of Illinois we are more concerned with what our governor has done. We are tired of the corruption. It goes on in this state from the local level to the state level. Our governor has been investigated for several years priort to him being arrested today. The article doesn’t seem to mention this though. You guys need to read more than this article to know what is actually going on.
I am definitely not a fan of our government. Never said that Blagojevich shouldn’t have gone after the bankers. I feel that Bank of America had nothing to do with the arrest of our governor.
People need to stop bashing others and actually start doing something about our government and the bankers, instead of complaining and saying they are going to do something.
December 9th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Yeah I am calling BS on this article.
Yes the financial sector is extremely corrupt, evil, and very influential but this is whats called “suggestive thinking..”
Let’s keep the focus on the Rezko/Obama Land deal. Thats where the real money is…
We only have until Jan 20th, let’s quit wasting time trying to entertain(scare the s--- out of) your readers…
December 9th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Rob is dirty and corrupt. He deserved to be arrested, and more. Drive down the IL tollway (I-90) sometime, its like he’s a dictator here. Every couple miles you’ll see a sign gushing, “Thank you Rob Blowjobawitch!” We hate him, with good reason. BofA shouldn’t extend a loan to a dead company. Based upon the names I’ve been hearing in the local news, and comments from workers being made via “interpreters” it seems to me most of the workers were illegals anyway, so I am not sorry to see them be illegally stripped of severance packages when they are illegally in and working in my country anyway. Too bad.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
Good. Politicians should be arrested more often.
December 9th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
It would be nice to see more facts instead of reading to the end and realizing time wasted on speculation.

Hey fromIL…
Quote “I feel that Bank of America had nothing to do with the arrest of our governor.”
…But do you know?
…AHhh….
December 10th, 2008 at 12:38 am
I am very happy that good ole’ “lightning Rod” is arrested. He has been the worst govenor in Il. history. Downstate we call him Chicago’s govenor, because the rest of the state never claimed him anyway. Now if Rezko can link Rob an Obama in the land scam deals then we’ll have some ammo for the revolution.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:38 am
This article is not news, it is speculation. This investigation has gone on for months. It is not because of Bank of America.
December 10th, 2008 at 12:48 am
Well…if he’s convicted…”He’s got a purty mouth!!!” Not that I want to “Thermally Expand” in that way!!!

December 10th, 2008 at 12:57 am
Interesting that the MSNBC Countdown program is sponsored by Bank of America today on almost every commercial break and the LEAD story and the SECOND story is a hit piece on Blagojevich. It is so blatant. The only thing I like is that Obama was chastised, “That is not change we can believe in” when the prez elect did not want to comment.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:07 am
Heya noname, or Rob, or whoever you call yourself. Get a life and spread some more of your nonsense else where. They can’t be paying you that good any how.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:16 am
I disagree on the technical reason, but agree overall that they needed to get rid of him before too much dirt on Hussien Obama comes out in a state impeachment hearing, which they were very probably going to do. This is selective enforcement at its best.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:24 am
So anyone have a copy of this 76-page FBI affidavit? Ide really like to give it a read.
December 10th, 2008 at 1:44 am
I live in southern Illinois, and I can say its a slum pit. The mob owns this state and everyone knows it. All the tax money is spent in Chicago, and on police all over the state. Police state grid off the charts!

December 10th, 2008 at 3:38 am
The first thing I thought when I watched the news conference yesterday afternoon was “They’re ALL corrupt crooks, so who exactly did he piss off?”
Now I know.
It’s good to see right through the bulls--- when you’re fully awake.
Thanks for the article

Stick to the Bohemian Grove stories and such..your BEST work, not this HORSEHOCKEY Alex..GEEZ!!!!
December 10th, 2008 at 4:11 am
It just seems like the corrupted are thowing mud at each other while we stand by and do nothing… except go broke.
December 10th, 2008 at 4:48 am
Anyone who would assume that the only reason the Governor was arrested is because he opposed Bank of America has to be extremely naive. This investigation has been underway long before he made the comment about Bank of America and long before the Republic Windows and Doors company laid off workers, etc. The reason they chose to arrest him now is because they did not want him to use money from the Senate seat auction as his bail. And they did not want to wait until he appointed himself to the seat to take him down.
Why can’t Infowars just report on government corruption without tying it to the evil banks? Banking has nothing to do with criminal investigations. Its not like someone at the bank called the FBI and made them investigate him. Come on.

id rather take the facts from alex and co rather than some unknown alias spamming on the site, look at what hes told us thats all true, therefore im definately inclined to believe the person with the track record.
December 10th, 2008 at 7:10 am
We all know words have power, so when a system that would be easily functionable under the name ‘The Justice’ department is called the ‘Criminal Justice’ dept we ought to look closely at what’s going on. The words the ‘authorities’ use are not just banded around without reason. On a seperate issue, one worrying aspect I’ve come to be aware of is this; Alex has mentioned several times that the powers that be ‘have to tell us what they’re planning’ in order to pull them off, due to some kind of satanic clause or something. If this is so, isn’t Alex ‘telling us what they’re planning?’ Michael Tsarion let the cat out of the bag just recently when he said that this was their job – his and Alex’s – to tell the people what’s being planned. I appreciate Alex’s work in exposing what’s happening – even if it does fall within this ‘telling the masses what’s being planned’ thing, but I have some serious doubts about his unwillingness to look at the ‘no planes’ evidence – which is the only indisputable evidence of the 9/11 hoax – and his refusal to look closely at the Vatican’s role on the world stage. Having said this, I’m grateful to Alex’s info on fluoride, vaccines, aspartame, chemtrails and the whole conspiracy busting.

December 10th, 2008 at 9:02 am
the more i think about it, the more it makes sense the guv WAS arrested now because of Bank of America. If Illinois withdrew all business, that’s probably tens of billions of dollars (?) in retirement systems alone. I think this sudden bust of governors is completely suspicious, the FBI has on-going investigations sure, but of the 50 governors is there one who ISN’T being investigated by the FBI? Or is the deal, find the dirt on them, we’ll use it when need be?
If anyone wants to see whether BoA had a hefty motive to remove this guy now, start with Illinois retirement funds, count up the stake BoA has in those and how much capital they represent for BoA on the credit markets. Then compare that to BoA stats and see if their loss puts BoA in the red. Repeat for all state agencies. I’m guessing infowars got this one right.
December 10th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Look. I’m as guilty as everyone else on this site for jumping at shadows and such. I know everything is not a conspiracy. And apparently, as a good lot of you have suggested, he has been under investigation for a while now. But the B of A thing is real. What I have to wonder is, has anyone actually heard these alleged tapes the FBI has or is it all just read from transcripts? All the time you actually hear the voices on tapes from politicians taken down. The media is always all over it. Maybe someone here has but so far I haven’t actually heard the man’s voice saying these things. Maybe I’m just ill-informed or whatever. This site at least tells another side of the story and there isn’t alot of that going on so maybe they too jump at shadows but we have the opportunity to decide for ourselves and so the anger from some of you is completely unjustified in my honest opinion.

Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is in federal custody on corruption charges, a law enforcement official said Tuesday.
Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris are charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Illinois.
Both men are expected in U.S. District Court in Chicago later Tuesday.
A news conference is expected at noon ET.
Federal prosecutors say Blagojevich, Harris and others conspired to gain financial benefits in appointing President-elect Barack Obama’s Senate replacement, according to the statement.
“The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering,” U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said in a statement. “They allege that Blagojevich put a ‘for sale’ sign on the naming of a United States Senator; involved himself personally in pay-to-play schemes with the urgency of a salesman meeting his annual sales target; and corruptly used his office in an effort to trample editorial voices of criticism.”
According to the statement, Blagojevich is alleged to have discussed obtaining:
a substantial salary for himself at a either a non-profit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions;
placing his wife on paid corporate boards where he speculated she might garner as much as $150,000 a year;
promises of campaign funds — including cash up front;
a Cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself
The statement also alleges that Blagojevich and others tried to illegally obtain campaign contributions.
Blagojevich, Harris and others are also alleged to have withheld state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field. The statement says this was done to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members who were critical of Blagojevich.

The banks just about own Chicago. Daily started the sell-off started with the Chicago Skyway ($1.83 billion), continued with downtown parking garages ($563 million) and culminated in the sale of Midway Airport ($2.5 billion) and last week Morgan Stanley got the rights to the parking meters, a 1.6 billion deal AFTER the banker “bailout”. Parking rates are to quadruple!
MyFreeSpeach4u, you and about 500 other people sent Alex that report.

Don’t they just sell out for ambassodorship appt. and not money?
Sign of the times, he went for the cash and not some power in the party or other ego trip.
Is this like Sen Dodd’s mortgage deal?
December 10th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Hey #156/157/158, nobody cares, the whole point is that the info is out there — no one cares about credit!!! Do you really think Alex Jones really cares if someone scoops him??? Yeah, I thought so… the point is getting the message out to those caught in the matrix that there REALLY IS a cadre of elite undermining democracy and freedom.
December 10th, 2008 at 10:34 am
the BBC reported. Here is the problem you see the BBC was not at the sit in strike, Or interviewed any one the people, They got second hand Info, as most of us do,
Bank of America has not caused any of this, It just happen to be the bank at the time,
and god knows, these banks are crooks and they know it, and we know it
The people are just wanting there money for there labor, as It what was agreed on, any one working today has some of the same types of agreements, vary in some way or another,
The FBI deal has been and on going look at this
Blagojevich, Harris and others are also alleged to have withheld state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of Wrigley Field. The statement says this was done to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members who were critical of Blagojevich.
board members of the Chicago Tribune contacted the FBI, If Blagojevich, Harris, stayed away from this Tribune deal, nothing would have become of all this,
Unless Jessie Jackson Jr, was in on the deal to, he wants some money to, but I can’t say for sure,
because he’s not in the indictment, YET,
Once the FBI gets you, well see the movie , http://www.akatommychong.com/
Like he said in the movie, Quote ” you’ll find out” it’s about being arrested, no rights
Thanks and good luck
Just my after thought
PS see Obama news this morning, these are all his buddies,and do you think? He’s going to
know any thing, hell no

well said, wire taps can be digitally voice altered and any statement can be taken out of context especially if you have a sense of humor, the governor knows that the federal government is everywhere, he even has a security detail to protect him. the government is already guilty, i am just surprised that they generated a 76 page complaint right after the governor elected to stop doing business with bank of america. again alex you are slapping the viewers with solid opinions that are factual, you are doing a great job keep up the good work.
December 10th, 2008 at 11:10 am
I think a lot of people are missing the point on this article. It is not denying the point that the governor is beyond corrupt, and not saying that these charges came out of the blue. Its well known to the public in IL that Blagojevich and his family have been thought to be corrupt for years, and that there has been federal investigations going on prior to the arrest. But, if we look at common situations that have came up in the past, we know that the fed will hold out on making a public arrest of a high ranking public figure, and instead use it as a leveraging tool when they make the wrong move, or decide to investigate something they “shouldn’t”, or make drastic claims to get rid of a super powerful banking cartel. Many have said this is what could happen with Obama during his presidency, and the issue of not releasing his birth certificate being used against him in the future.
This article is simply suggesting an idea that has been used by the fed in the past to bring down people at the right time, holding off on a charge until they can make better use of it. It is ironic that of all the days the fed chose to take down Blagojevich, they just happen to choose the day after he’s been all over national news all day, claiming to end business with the BoA. He hasnt been on main stream national news for any of his corruption issues that have suddenly come to light nationally (again, im not denying hes corrupt). The day he was speaking about the BoA, the national news didn’t mention anything about the allegations towards him, though Im sure they knew about them. Yet the day after getting national coverage on a touchy subject that every states governor most likely feels the same way about, since this same problem is happening in many states, but will not go on national news about it for fear of retrobutions, the feds decide to drop the hammer. The feds had more than enough evidence to take him down prior to this week, yet they waited…
And Michael (MyFreespeach4u), if your looking for credit for breaking this story to infowars, you may want to consider that there were many other members also sending in info about this case before and after you sent in your info. I sent in an email discussing this case and the BoA comment (# 34595) 9 emails prior to yours and im sure there were some sent before, and after both of us. Kurt Nimmo mostly likely used info from numerous sources to write this article.
December 10th, 2008 at 11:14 am
big f---ing deal, members of the democratic party have been selling senate seats for a while. Corzine sold his ,and thats why menendez was appointed senator of NJ. This is a normal thing to them. Sure, the timing is very coincidental, because they probably HAD evidence of the governors curruption before hand.But nothing was altered. Beleive me, hes not even the first public official to go to jail in Illionois . Not to mention the US Attorney Generals office has been attacking curruption in democratic states since Bush appointed the new set of Attorney Generals. Stuff like this happends in New Jersey and New York all the time. Theyre Just waiting for him to slip up….just like theyre waiting for you!
December 10th, 2008 at 11:16 am
MyFreespeach4u- This is exactly the problem with the American public. The “Give me recognition or give me Death” attitude is just as disgusting as any other corruption out there. So you posted a story A.J. may not have, at the point, when you E-mailed his office about it. Did you physically take a camera out and cover the events? Did you initially write the story? Were you on the front lines breaking the story of corruption and mass deception before the corporate machines enacted their tirade of propaganda? I thank you for your input in trying to inform people of something the may not have heard about for maybe -3 or so hours after you posted this in A.J.’s sight. But… What have you done since???
There was a time in history when people didn’t watch reality shows and demand fame for every mundane act of kindness or civic duty.
Man, I’m tired of watching/listening to people who consider themselves patriots demand recognition for everything they attempt. If you had an alterrior motive for an altruistic act why bother. Because your motive isn’t to inform or protect but gain something for your self.
December 10th, 2008 at 11:23 am
We must do everything we can to encourage the traitors and thieves to fight among themselves. There are apparently quite plausible rumors and speculations on the internet that Blagojevich was exposed by Obama operatives, Zionist dual citizen Rahm Emanuel being one nominee for that action, for trying to shake him down with the attempted sale of a US Senate seat.
One great advantage we have is that the Enemy appears to want corruptible people, those with skeletons in their closets, to be in high offices in order to control them. That is why Ron Pauls, Michael Badnariks, Bob Barrs, Chuck Baldwins and other patriots are severely hindered in their efforts to attain significant political positions.

Its owned by the gianinni family in Italy.(and the vatican)
should be called bank of bulls---.

Two questions:
1. Has anyone seen or talked to Gov B or his family since he was hauled off by Jesn Valjean Fitzpatrick?
2. If FitzPatrick can wiretap Gov B at home, can Gov B wiretap FitzPatrick at home?

Where did I say BoA wasn’t a dirty bank? Maybe you need to learn how to read. It’s probably people like you who give people who question the lying and corruption a bad name. You jump to conclusions and pull s--- out of the air.

Balagojevich accusation of coruption and othere as prosecutor claim,is politik, with such game against Ilinoj governer Balgojech, federal law inforcment is trying to shelf investigation 700 billion US $ stolen.
USA federal govarnment need change the way handling individuals and big banks or business bailout, when 1996 I needed Bankruptcy protection chapter 11,none offer me bailout, under the King David Star, bankruptcy Court even help criminals getaway with fraud they committed against fed.law, thus with the US taxpayir money bailing out big corporation, is wrong and that practice should be never allowed.

True Patriot (#171),
The Gov. didn’t finally get caught. This little NWO prick is being made an example of by his NWO bankster bosses. He made the fatal and unforgivable mistake of biting the hand that feeds him in order to turn a profit. The NWO made him and it broke him. He didn’t have his priorities right. He put himself befor his masters. He should have known better. Let’s hope Obama will make the same fatal mistake!

I will have to disagree with this article. Blagojevich did not go down because he challenge BOA. He was on his way down already. I am from Chicago so I have been following Blagojevich/Rezko for a while. Let me speed you guys up. There has been a on going 2 year investigation on Blagojevich. Blagojevich was recognized as public official A in the Tony Rezko (Obama connections) trial in which he was found guilty. 2 months ago Rezko’s sentence was suspended due to him cooperating with the feds. Which I assume was what gave them enough info to tap his office/phones. Blagojevich was going down way before the talking about BOA.
Plus he didn’t really make waves when talking about BOA. The senate seat sale is not going to be the only charges on this guy, way more to come. Plus Obama is all over the crimminal complaint. Not him directly talking to Blagojevich, but someone on his behalf.
You can obtain a copy from here just click on the blue words saying 78 page crimminal complaint near the top.

January 12th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who believes that Blagojevich’s arrest stems from his criticism of Bank of America. Banks are the most powerful institutions in the world, so it comes as no surprise that the governor was arrested the morning after stating that the State of Illinois should stop doing business with Bank of America because of its involvement in the layoffs of Republic Windows & Doors.
