This smells of a setup...

how (out of the blue) he is all of a sudden (corrupt) when he was taking on the (banks) one day, then immediately after, arrested for some SH!T the next.

this gave me goose bumps...

were in for a BUMPY road...

May you all meet in the astral, and then reflect on what went wrong.

I don't understand how so many people here can fail to put together the obvious truths.

I will break it down numerically for easier digestion:

1. Corrupt governor plunders Illinois for years.

2. Corrupt governor does something for the "little guy" and takes on Bank of America in his state.

3. The VERY NEXT DAY, corrupt governor is arrested on months/years old charges against him.

If you can't put these three together, GET OFF THESE FORUMS and go take some critical thinking classes at your local university. Please.

Star for you sir. I tried to make it as simple as possible for the people who really dont critically think but you my friend made it so simple anyone can understand.

It's not about critically thinking. Most people on here who deny this live in Illinois and know a little more than you about the whole situation. Bago# has been under investigation for months, it was only a matter of time before he was arrested. Combine that with the fact that he was going to sell a position in the US Senate to the highest bidder and this was going to be done soon, that's grounds to move ASAP. He would have been arrested today if he didn't say anything about BoA. Somethings just aren't conspiracies as much as you want them to be. This happens to be one of them. Unless of course you beleive that Gov. Ryan's arrest by Peter Fitzgerald had anything to do with the banks. Let it be known to all Governors of Illinois, Fitzgerald is gonna get you if you are a crook.


As far as the conspiracy goes, you have people who are closer to this whole thing than you and yet you insist that your outside knowledge of this, your view which is so minute, is absolutely correct. Did Fitzgerald bug his telephone and his office in anticipation of him doing BoA in? Did he get reports from Children's Memorial Hospital, the Chicago Tribune, and other places in anticpation of BoA? Did Fitgerald collect records on how he was trying to sell the senate seat in anticpation of BoA? If your answer is no to these questions then it is NOT linked to BoA. Fitgerald was building a criminal report on him to ARREST him. He wasn't doing it for any other reason. And look, he was arrested.

Right but why now? Why arrest now? Im sick of all of these "coincidences" all the "spin" when someone who opposes the international banking cartel gets killed or gets jail time. If Blogovich was the only person yea I would see your point but there is to many people that end up dead after opposition to the "system"

list them for us will you?

I for one am tired of the BS conspiracy theories with nothign to back them up but "sounds good to me" rhetoric.

Back up what you just said with facts..


specifically THIS part:

Who, where, when.. not just more BS.. facts please.

NOT "all of a sudden (corrupt)"

Please read the articles or the thread posts...

He has been under investigation for years. Those of us that live in Chicago have been reading about this and been waiting for this for a long time.

Everyone knew about the ongoing investigation...which really makes Gov Blag. an idiot or arrogant or both seeing as he thought he could keep doing what he was doing even with the FBI breathing down his kneck.

What?

I am saying perhaps you are making something into other then what it is.

Your critical thinking was missing a huge number of steps. The BOA coverage happened before the arrest. The day before that it was revealed his best buddy was carry a wire and Blago talks to the press all panicky. The noose was closing tight, residents of Illinois knew it before BOA even was thought of in all of this.

Here is a test for you. How many other politicans who spoke out about BOA got arrested.

Oh thats right -none-.

Oh wait. Maybe Obama IS next!!!

President-elect Barack Obama, whose home is 12 miles from the factory, in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood, said at a Sunday press conference the workers are “absolutely right” to demand their severance and vacation pay.

“These workers, if they have earned these benefits and their pay, then these companies need to follow through on those commitments,” said Obama, who gave up his U.S. Senate seat from Illinois last month.

This is anything but out of the blue. If you would have asked anyone in Illinois if they thought Gov. Blag. was corrupt their answer woulda been yes, unless they were blind. Look the man spent 15,000 a sign on these signs that go over Illiinois' I-Pass lanes that read something along the line of "GOVERNOR ROD BLAGOVICH PRESENTS: ILLINOIS I-PASS" These signs are at every toll, except maybe the ones leaving the highway, and it cost the state hundreds of thousands of extra dollars, maybe millions. This is money the tax payers were gonna have to pay, and these signs are just gonna be taken down when the next Governor comes into office. That just shows this man's lack of character. There have been hundreds of reports over the years of how corrupt this man is. Our last governor is in prison. When asked a few years ago if Illinois is the most corrupt state in the US one of Fitzgeralds associates replied that he doesn't have a report on the other 50 states. This time he reaffirmed that statement and went on to say, "If it isn't the most corrupt state, it is definitly in the competition." Corruption in our gov't is nothing new if you live in Illinois. If you live in Illinois and you woke up today and saw that headline you wouldn't drop your coffee and be like WHAT!?!?! Your reaction would be more subtle, and it would have been, well its about time. Is Daley next? This state is still run by the Mob, and the ringleader is Richard M. Daley. So, out of the blue? Absolutely not.

So Obama makes a statement, and Mr. Corrupt Governor (still not gonna try to spell his name) takes action. Do you see the difference there?

I already said that I was aware the guy was under investigation. That's clear from the article. Its also clear from the article that he's been pulling this sort of stuff for awhile. The fact that he's been corrupt for so long only adds to the link between the BoA incident yesterday and his arrest today.

You don't find it odd that there is no mention of yesterday's events in the article? If I recall correctly, its a journalists job to pick up on little things like that and report on them. Unless of course, they get a letter from their boss telling them not to.

You can claim I'm making balloons into flying saucers all you want. That's the exact mentality TPTB would like you to have. Skepticism even in the face of overwhelming evidence. In President Bush's own words, "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories". He has won you over sir.
