How come, obstruction of justice, a cover up, perjury, false documents, organized crime, terrorism, bribery, is not a equal opportunity punishment crime? Written law in reality meanswhat? Ethics or a judicial cannon means nothing to a lot of people.

My lawyer (the mayors brother), knew that the Palatine cop's report was false and that the cop's testimony was perjury. My Lawyer (the mayors brother) aided in the obstruction of justice. Mayor Mullins, Mayor Tatooles, Mayor Schwnatz got my "email", along with 5,500? others.

My lawyer was a judge Scotillo's law bar president. The judge ruled his x bar president, mayors brother, incompetent. Must have been part of the game. To look look important. If the judge rules a lawyer incompetent (before the trial began), I would think, I should have the right to get a lawyer that was competent. But it don't work that way, it's all a game playedon saps like you and me.

The office of the Cook County States attorney's office (Dick Devine), prosecutor Chandra and co prosecutor Andre, new before hand, the cops testimony was perjury and the police report was false. Did they all lie and mis led the grand jury?

I hired, lawyer # 1, (x president of the judges law bar, mayors brother), lawyer # 2 (governor of the judges law bar), lawyer #3 (maybe he is not a governor?), Lawyers # 4 and 5 (to do the appeal), lawyer # 6. None of them could tell Scotillo nor the mayors brother, nor the prosecutor, nor the cop, that they have made a mockery out of the criminal justice system. Or say, they should be ashamed of them selfs. They created a "you owe me" Scotillo. BesidesAlveraz is the matriarch of the Chicago bar and Scatillo's wife the matriarch of her law bar. If the judge tells you to threw a case or your not going to practice law, I guess a sleaze ball lawyer, has to obey.

I contacted every federal judge down town, every lawprofessor in Illinois, no body cares, but me? The law has no respect for the law. The government has no respect for the government.

The cops were high on drugs during court, or plain & simple, knew there were no penalties for his criminal conduct. The appellate court praised Scotillo for praising a cop (Wenrich) that lied to his face...... who's the fool?

The cop didn't know the color of my car, the road he's on, the town he's in, higher than a kite. All the other cops went along with it. Hunter was sitting right next to him (top state DUI cop, but could not tell Wenrich was tripping out of his mind, the surveillance video should prove this (I told Tatooles, but he didn't care). The shift commander? is now the Chief of Inverness. The chief I think was the one who's kid torturedsome one, into a false confession with Alveraz, Madigan, the mayor, village council, council of the council, village manager approval, shoot, it seems with every ones approval. Authorized human right violations. Obama and Durbin, didn't say any thing, i guess it's OK with them. Does it not make them accessories to torture? Madigan and the mayor of Palatine are for sale, call it a campaign contribution or a consulting fee. Blogo talks about it and goes to jail. Like I said in a post, blago should have beenMayor of Palatine.

I think email about a cover-up and obstruction of justice adds federal crimes, to the whole mix. But then, I contacted theFBI, they don't care also.

One of the village council members emailed me and said he don't like my blogs..... not going to change a thing, but don't like my blogs, same with the manager there has been email between the manager and village council. There were a few other return communications. with in the 5,500 emails.

a few visitors came from
this site and this site and this site

5 years go by, nothing changed, except more lies, false documents and perjury, if this ain't terrorism, organized crime, than what is? The Gov and his crime commission are accessories. Senator Obama nor Durbin cares, nor the 98 others. I contacted them all.

Just think, this crap, goes on every day, day in and day out, non stop. The damage to our society, our nation, the world, is incompressible. You think the village manager is clean?

I think it's important to be honest, truthful, respectful, to know right and wrong, to be kind to others, neighborly and helping others is a good thing. It seem, I'm just about the only one that thinks this way and I will keep thinking this way. Just because every one else is a crook, has no morals, dishonest, that don't mean I have to be or, the next guy.

This nonstop corruption of law, will be the death of the very society, which law is to protect. If you ask me, this is terrorism, organized crime.

What does a person do, to report a crime? Contact a cop? Contact the village council? Call the mayor? Contact theCounty states attorney? Contact a judge? Contact a federal judge? Contact the attorney general? Contact the gov? Contact a law school? Contact the senators? Contact the FBI?I CONTACTED THEM ALL and nothing. Most every thing I blog about is public information. You don't need to be a rocket scientist for the rest. A dirt bag is a dirt bag, Plain and simple.

The Palatine Police must have arrested 20,000 or more, people since my arrest. With village, prosecutors, and judicial approval of this disgraceful conduct, I wounder how many other crooked trials, perjured testimony? Just because a cop, States attorney and judge may choose to lie in court, it still don't make it right.

which one is his wife?



Question) How many times do you think immigration (confirmation # CHI-09-25526) said yesterday, this bartender in Palatine, can do the following things to his wife? rape, beat, punch, force oral sex, abuse, threaten her, to have the police take her away, threaten to her, to have immigration take her away and be deported, threaten to beat and punch her more, additional intimation, humiliate, have arrested, beat more, makes her work 3 jobs, takes her pay checks, forces her to clean the apartment, wash his cloths, cooks his meals, brings other women over to the apartment, sleeps, have sex, get drunk, parties with them, takes his wife's keys, locks her out of their apartment (both names on lease), into the cold, makes her sleep in her car, makes her wait in the car or a street corner, until he's finished, makes her walk to work, makes her pay all the bills, support him, give him spending money, denies her access to her religion and threatens to kill her if she says any thing to any one? Before he can have her legally deported, conditional green card revoked?

Answer) "As many times as he wants. He is American citizen / she is not, we believe him not her. She has no rights in this country". The legal Assistance Foundation 2 blocks away, agreed, with the immigration officer (I was not allowed, to be apart of that meeting).

Beat her almost to death, for refusal of anal sex or oral sex. Deport her, with any sexually transmitted disease, HIV, a broken neck, leg, arm, maybe a eye socket or 2. Its a he said, she said, he has rights, she don't.

God, I think, in any religion gave every one the same equal rights. But Immigration and the American government says otherwise.

Nobody seems to care what a drunken man that weighs 150 pounds more than a 100 pound woman can do in a fit of rage.

The reality of The American way.

The basic human rights, of dignity, respect and worth are not a option. These are the cold hard facts. I think there is a major, problem, nobody cares other than a little lip service.

This woman 5', 100 pounds, was in a State university at 14, received her degrees at 18 (Harper College said the are equivalent of Bachelors degrees), Speak fluent (degreed in) 4 languages (Russian, Turkish, German and English), she can communicate, conduct a conversation in Spanish and French also. Has additional degrees in fine arts. Had teaching certificate at 19, was teaching at 20. Now as a battered and abused spouse of a American citizen, she has no rights as a human being, as a legal immigrant. Beaten, raped and humiliated every day is legal in the USA, Palatine, Illinois. This is the Law of the United States Government and there is nothing any one can do about it. She is scared, terrorized, afraid, alone and help less. I try to help. I had tears in my eye, yesterday. The worst days of her life was to come to this country. Now she is a slave, she don't know if and when her husband will murder her, today, tonight, tomorrow. When the police or immigration will take her away. She pays taxes, keeps quite or else, she is a broken women that wouldn't hurt a fly, her heart was riped out of her, trashed and it's legal. She has been married for 18 months to this creep.

.Welcome TO the real USA.

Foot note) What is she going to do? Call a Palatine cop? That has the blessing of the Village council, Village manager, Judge Scotillo (and his law bar), his boss, the attorney general, Madigan, Alveraz (and her law bar), every law proffessor in Illinois, every federal judge down town, the crime commission with the Gov, every senator in this country, the president of USA (his office contacted as senator), for a Palatine cop to alter, manipulate, provide a false report, to lie, perjure, obstruct, cover up. Let's not forget Baker.

Heck the police chiefs kid admitted to extracting a false confession (torture?, how else to you extract a false statement from some one?). Haas (the police chief of Inverness) was helping, cleaning up the mess? Then there's the $125k and Tatooles (fishy to me).

Maybe the cop she would or could call, or the cop sent over to protect her, is taking the photo?

Maybe one of the cops (more than once), that mauled down a pedestrian (on more than one occasion), in town, was leaving this bar or on their way to.

There is no justice, justice has been re named the boys club, organized crime, home grown terrorist with a badge.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism

You think mayor Schwantz is running a tab at this place also? For the good ole boys? Maybe one of the council members are on the other side of the bar.

Where you got Schwantz, you got Mullins and Tatooles and the 3500 other people I contacted for help. No one gives a shit, no one cares........ but me, I care.

How many cops do you think are behind the camera, falling off the bar stools with their pants down to their ankle, riped out of their tree? How many unmarked squad cars out side? Did he call em and tell em, I got some hot chicks ready to go or was this a regular night for the boys?
-----
We stopped by John's place talked to Helaina, she said you got to call him up, do what ever he wants and after it's all over, when he's done with you, maybe he will let you stay in this country, maybe not. This is the only choice you have.

She called this creep, using my phone, begging him, she would give him any thing, do anything he wants, but, please don't f..k up my life, she's sorry. He said Fuc* you, bitch and hung up the phone. I could not believe my ears.

This is a good, honest, women, makes my blogs seem so insignificant.

I let scum bags, know they are scum bags, I let the good know they are good.

tired, a very tuff day, Immigration letting her know, her life is not even worth spit




A tuff day. Coming home on the blue line from a day at immigration. Her husband can continue to beat, rape, oral sex or I kill you, punch, abuse, any thing he wants, break her legs, arm, neck, kill her. When he's done and satisfied, he can have her deported. This is the law. She has no rights. I had tears in my eyes.

Palatine raped me with the blessings of many, no body cared.

I got a good idea, but not close, what she's going threw. Nobody cares, but me.

He has started the deportation process against her.

in the mean time......
the Palatine High School choir perform at the White House

Nobody in this town, state or country gives a shit, I wounder what Moscow would say.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/25/world/europe/25russia.html

At 20 years old, a school teacher (a gifted, child whiz kid), that could speak, read and write 6 different languages with university diplomas at the age of 18. Nobody has seen her draw or paint (I have), she is a incarnated Van Gogh.

This is 95 pounds of God given talent. I would bet, with another 4 years, she could speak, read and write in 6 more languages. Heck there is no telling what she could achieve. I would bet she could fly threw law school in a year if she wanted, paint a mural on the side of a mountain, commercial artiest, police scratch artiest, acting school, you name it, this woman is on a different wave length.

The deportation process is under way.

Her crime, is, a year and half of sexual, physical and mental abuse, by her American spouse, who threatened her with brutality or murder, if she spoke to the authorities..

What good would it do any way? She told me what immigration would say and she was right. I told her about village cops and false documents in reports then gives them to the court and how the village council helps to cover em up. How the states attorney, attorney general, the judges, governor helps to conceal. And besides, this guy probably gets em all drunk and treats them to other stuff.

That a cop is probably not your friend.

Her crime was coming to America and believing in this country.

Piss flows down hill. I think we all get the picture.

Schwantz takes charge of malarkey, public dishonesty and deception


.“Patent Malarkey”: Public Dishonesty and Deception:

It seemed like Jerry Bratcher had it made. As chief of Police, his salary was $80,000 a year, and he oversaw an 80-man department ranked as one of the best in the country. He had set up lucrative outside consulting businesses analyzing other suburban police departments. And the taxpayers were paying for his drinks, lunches and dinners. No one would question any of it since he had also become a consultant to Micro Aseptic—run by the three village trustees who also ran the police and fire committee. That, together with his strong personal relationship with Mayor Rita Mullins, compromised any real oversight of the Palatine Police Department by the village government. It was all carefully hidden from the taxpayers in a maze of governmental paper buttressed by a village government who fought any citizen attempt to access these financial records.


Jerry Bratcher had created his own Feudal kingdom in Palatine.


Sure, there were a few underlying problems. His consulting and Micro Aseptic sales both depended heavily on the the goodwill of other suburban chiefs. So he had to constantlystroke them while at the same time hiding from them the true nature and extent of his business dealings and how they might affect the other chiefs. While bragging about the academic achievements of his men, he failed to mention he hired five or six chief’s kids — including his own. He also failed to mention he lost $125,000 in an Ponzi scheme which traded commodities.


Bratcher’s kingdom rested on a fragile foundation. He became a prisoner of his own propaganda. He had to constantly exaggerate and puff his own accomplishments and those of his police force to keep his outside business interests rolling. Thus, Bratcher pushed membership in the Northwest Police Academy (NWPA), argued for CALEA accreditation, and promoted the use of the Northern Illinois Police Crime Lab (NIPCL). He couldn’t stop making his sales pitch.


Bratcher also became a prisoner of his own sales pitch.


Bratcher ingratiated himself with his fellow chiefs and promoted his business interests at the same time. The chiefs provided a potential market of more than 100 suburban police forces to which he could offer his consulting services or sell his line of Micro Aseptic products, which could provide everything for a police department from soap to special shoes. Bratcher founded the NWPA, a forum which enhanced the international reputation of the Palatine Force and himself. He later used the academy to branch out into politics endorsing his friend Jack O’Malley. Indeed, Bratcher had employed a full-time PR person for his small-time Police Department. Additionally, the sons of various police chiefs were employed by the Palatine Police Department.


It was working. Eventually, Good Housekeeping magazine would cite the Palatine Police Department as one of the 10 best in the nation. On paper, Bratcher had a superior department. Palatine was not just the normal, under-equipped suburban police force. Many chiefs told us the crime at Brown’s Chicken and Pasta on January 8, 1993 was a terrible tragedy. But “thank God it happened in Palatine.” They knew Bratcher worked with CALEA, which certified suburban police departments, but were unaware that his CALEA connection was at the heart of the Good Housekeeping ranking.

Jerry Bratcher had carefully constructed a house of cards. It was held together by the spiderweb of personal relationships he had built with other chiefs and with the village government. An unsuspecting media and citizenry stood by, never noticing the personal stakes Bratcher had invested with the mayor, village board, and state’s attorney’s office. No one ever questioned any of them about their objectivity or the inevitable conflicts which grew out of these relationships. No one questioned any of them about their non-governmental business. Bratcher was employed as a consultant by three of the village trustees who ran Micro Aseptic.Because of his business relationships with the trustees and his long personal relationship with the mayor, he had effectively neutralized anyone who would be in a position to question his conduct. That connection which James Madison and Thomas Jefferson thought crucial—between the citizens and their elected representatives and “employees”—was crushed. .
. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bratcher also receives payments for services from Micro Aseptic, making at least $5,000 in consulting fees in 1995 alone. Bratcher used his considerable reputation and economic clout to help Micro Aseptic sell products to other police chiefs. In one instance, Bratcher used the NWPA as a platform to introduce Micro Aseptic’s products and services. As he had at other occasions, Bratcher introduced Jack Wagner of Micro Aseptic as an expert in combating blood-borne pathogens. He vouched for Micro Aseptic’s integrity and effectiveness. However, he did not reveal his continuing economic relationship with the company.

At the time, Micro Aseptic was owned and operated by two of Palatine’s trustees: Jack Wagner and Gregory Solberg.Wagner also chairs the public safety committee of the village board, which oversees the Palatine Police Department.The public safety committee sets salaries, approves budgets and monitors the department’s performance. Chief Bratcher’s department—along with the Lincolnwood PD—appeared in a 17-minute “police training” tape, which was essentially an infomercial for Micro Aseptic products. The tape credits the NWPA for help in production. (Note: In 1994, Bratcher served as a paid consultant for Lincolnwood as they searched for a new chief.) This is an apparent violation of Palatine’s ethics ordinance which prohibits, “use of village equipment, material or property for personal ... profit.”


Interestingly, Micro Aseptic was chosen to clean up the crime scene at Brown’s. Wager maintains that the products were provided at no charge as a public service. Skeptics have suggested that it was done for publicity. http://www.ipsn.org/bga1.htm

.This is, just one example, of why Palatine will not allow out side investigations.

This town's corruption has the approval of;

Illinois gov Quinn
Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
Cook County State's Attorney Alvarez
All the Federal judges at the Northern District building
All the chief judges in Cook County
1 or more supreme court justice
about 500 other judges I contacted
the legislative branch in Springfield
Senator Burris
Senator Divine
Obama
every law professor, faculty member of every law school in Illinois
and about 4500 others

.With all of this approval, backing, it's still, up to a person's own integrity, moral belief and convictions to decide, free will to choose. Nobody is twisting any one's arm to be good or bad.

. catch a cop, in a, rape, murder, bribe, dealing drugs, any thing, like I did, report it, only to have a cover up of biblical proportion.

I am sorry to say, no matter how you look at it, .My emails prove USA is a ethically corrupt Village and much larger a whole society. A large element in our society is, above the law. Little hope for a change.

.An entire society can become ethically corrupt. Nazi Germany is a good example of a morally corrupt society.

Mayor Schwantz, a use to be NFL player. I wounder if the NFL support or teach this crap?

The newly elected Schwantz, has shown nothing, I wasn't expecting. To me, he looks like, just another elected thug. I always wanted to know what life after foot ball was like. Maybe and likely, his fan club is all for this also, but I ain't. .

2 members of commission involved in obstruction of justice

Sheila Simmons and Anita Alverz was notified of major corruption last year, did nothing, this makes them accessories of obstruction of justice, co-conspirators a criminal cover up and I'm sure a bunch of other things.

But what the heck, the FBI Lisa Madigan and her father, was notified and did nothing.

Past Cook County states attorney Dick Devine, senators Dick Durbin and Barack Obama's offices were also notified and did nothing. By their own free will, they are just as guilty as the cops that were on drugs during the arrest.

3500 professional's were notified and as far as I know, did nothing.

My case is just one of billions.

So what is this kangaroo commission going to do, besides waist time and money?

All ready before this commission starts it's corrupt, full of dirt and members belong in jail.

Same ole crap, these 2 members, can get away with crimes that, if the average person committed would be arrested and this is a fact of life.

Identical to Bolingbrook Police department's Drew Peterson's murdered wife (#2) who reported crimes (12 police reports she filled out?) against her husband (Bolingbrook cop), the Bolingbrook Police department did nothing but protect one of its own, thus became an accomplice to a murder.

The Commission can start here.

Until the powers at hand get over self righteous and denial, don't expect much.

A copy of what I sent the Village of Palatine police, fire, township, mayor, village board and Inverness and about 3,000 others

Anita Alverz and Sheila Simon were apart of the recipients of this email;

I would like action taken on the following;

Not limited to; corruption, obstruction, perjury, aiding and abetting, accessory, conspiracy.

That involves Jim Tatooles and possibly his brother (John Tatooles) and the Inverness village board.

That involves, but not limited to; Judge Scotillo, defense lawyers 1 - 4, assistant states attorney Chandra, Andre. Palatine police officer Wenrich, Hunter, rookie on duty at the time of case number 04-c3-30337, and Baker, lets not forget Baker, shift commander, police chief, Palatine Mayor, and Village Board, 1 retired supreme court justice, and appellate judges jj, o'malley, tully, pj, mcnulty.

Just about every other person I came across is protecting Wenrich, the list is longer than you can shake a fist at, I know who they are. I Can go much further. See blogs.

http://jamestatooles.blogspot.com/

http://judgescotillo.blogspot.com/

http://mikemarss.blogspot.com/

http://palatine-dirt.blogspot.com/

The only thing I wanted was the truth told especially, in a court of law, No body I contacted seems interested or seems to care. I care about the truth.

I would suggest some one let scotillo know about this blog with his name on it (if he has not seen it already). He might be a little up set, at me....the only guy that did not lie to his face, in his court or the only guy that has balls to stand up for what his court room is suppose to represent and lacking there of.

Now you all can come and hunt me down.

I think is A crock of crap, attempt to draw attention away from real corruption.

When I provided the cook county states attorney with criminal activity by her colleagues, judges, lawyers, cops, the whole of a couple of villages.

Nothing happened thus aiding and abetting, a cover up occurred, she should be arrested. Who is going to do it?

I'll do it and make a citizen's arrest of her and the arrest.

If she or they have no problem letting a few suburban cops run around on patrol dealing drugs and her office, judges, law bars, appellate, defense lawyers cover it up. I am sure we are back to the times when Daley looked the other way when cops were torturing prisoners.


Anita Alverz has been endorsing, protecting crooked cops and fellow prosecutors all her life.

Rev. Scott Willis

Affiliation: Former Pastor, Parkwood Baptist Church, Chicago

Hometown: Ashland City, Tennessee

Rev. Scott Willis and his wife, Janet, are two of the most compelling and powerful voices against public corruption in Illinois. In 1994, the Willises lost six of their children when a mud flap bracket fell from a truck on Interstate 94 in Northern Illinois, rupturing the gas tank in the Willises’ van. In connection with Operation Safe Road, the federal investigation into corruption within the office of then-Secretary of State George Ryan, it was later revealed that the driver of the truck paid a bribe to obtain his license and an investigation into the corruption allegations was squelched. The tragic deaths of the Willis children, more than anything else, came to symbolize the tangible consequences of political corruption. Throughout their ordeal, Rev. and Mrs. Willis have demonstrated the dignity, humanity, and resolve necessary to bring about real reform to this State. In 2006 Janet Willis authored a book “A Dad’s Delight” about a father’s forgiveness. Long time residents of Illinois, the Willises relocated to Tennessee in 2004, but return to Illinois to visit their ever-growing family.

If this aint a crock,

I sent associate professor of law, Sheila Simon, email last year about major corruption (evidence below). She must have tossed it or had other more important things to do. Maybe some one wants to let her know what my position is on her new job.

Sheila Simon and Anita Alverz is apart of the Illinois Reform Commission, if this aint a line of bs, I don't know what is. Look at them all....... I sent Shelia Simon http://southern-illinois-law-university.blogspot.com/ , Anita Alverz http://anita-alvarez.blogspot.com/ , every law professor, law school faculty member in the state of Illinois, the same email and nothing. About 3500 emails and nothing. I would expect a lame brain legal statement, like I didn't get it. Look who is on the commission! Another club! Personally, looking at their pictures and reading about them, don't do anything form me but shake my head and say what a joke. (I'm taking a break, (eyes sleepy) don't know if I'll come back to this area right away) Once again the top looking down and going to make decisions, recommendations, laws, more crap, bs that only pleases them self's.

What is a lawyer for Boeing, a surgeon, a couple of coaches, bunch of executive directors, a preacher, school president, a couple states attorneys going to do? Sit around the table and compliment each other on their awards, titles, their pension and benifits.

One of the supreme court justices (I think retired), maybe the one that was in the Blogo case, is up to his neck in this corruption I blog about. I could find out which justice called me, but who cares. Best to assume they are all corrupt and if one or two aint, all the better. I talk about it in this blog http://warrenbreslin.blogspot.com/

The Commission can start on Mayor Daley, and this lack of accountability when the Chicago cops were torturing citizens.

What about the hanky panky when the city gave parking meter contract to the company his brother is affiliated with?

What about the hanky panky about the money Obama's wife received when the her husband was senator and the state gave her firm $4 million? in work?

Results are the same or worst, as what blogo was talking about on the phone.

How about arresting the State Police that lied under oath at the corrnor's inquest regarding Drew Peterson's dead wife.

This commission, most likely, aint got, aint going to, or wont have the guts or brains to do squat, but take up space.

I emailed every judge in the US District Northern court District http://us-court-northern-district-of-ill.blogspot.com/ , for instance. Every judge by not following the law on one of their own are guilty as sin, obstruction of justice. Is the Quinn's commission going to start there?
http://us-court-northern-district-of-ill.blogspot.com/

Her lackadaisical crap, is just what this state, country, society don't need. She belongs in jail.

Unless Shelia Simon has a get out of jail card (like Anita Alverz) she should be in jail. But who would arrest her, a crooked state trooper, how about a crooked Bolingbrook cop, or a crooked Palatine cop? The State of Illinois is full of them also. http://illinois-state-police-dirt.blogspot.com/ Then you would have to find a honst D. A.

I think, by now, associate professor Sheila Simon and Anita Alverz is a accessory to the obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, conspirator of a criminal cover up and a lot more, of biblical proportions.

As far as I know (I'm just a plumber that is licensed in 2 states, not a fake plumber re;Joe the plumber), but as far as I know, the law states and something called ethics, notification of athorities when crimes are made known.

Ha, the state don't have enough jail space for all the crooked lawyers, judges, cops and politicians, that could be easily found and convicted, that is if some one wanted to. So why bother, what's the sence?

Just more crap and smoke, this time from the new governor, now it is his 15 minutes to fame.

Look at the commission. To me the only corruption they know about is what they see on tv or hear on the radio.

Organized crime

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Criminal organization)
Jump to: navigation, search
"Crime syndicate" redirects here. For the DC chutiya group of villains, see Crime Syndicate.

Organized crime or criminal organizations (also organised crime and criminal organisations) are groups or operations run by criminals, most commonly for the purpose of generating a monetary profit. The Organized Crime Control Act (U.S., 1970) defines organized crime as "The unlawful activities of ... a highly organized, disciplined association...".

Some criminal organizations, such as terrorist organizations, are politically motivated. Gangs sometimes become "disciplined" enough to be considered "organized". An organized gang or criminal set can also be referred to as a mob. The act of engaging in criminal activity as a structured group is referred to in the United States as racketeering. In the U.S., organized crime is often prosecuted federally under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), Statute (18 U.S.C. Part I Chapter 96 §§ 1961-1968).

Blagojevich, should have been mayor of Palatine

They can nab Blagojevich for talking about a bribe, but let pass, the x-Palatine mayor and others who, were paid off, took bribes, gifts, consulting fees, grants, what ever you want to call it, go free, with the help of Attorney General Madigan and her staff of lawyers, Cook County States Attorney Alveraz and her staff of lawyers, Cook County judges, Law bars, even the judge that he is in front of now, add a supreme court justice (I think that was him - that ruled in the Illinois senate kick out, but then we go into the Burke matter I reference to (someplace), in connection with Scotillo, why else in the world, would a Illinois supreme court justice play along with a crooked judge in Cook County, by the name Scotillo and his wife's law bar, about a cop that was hallucinating on a traffic stop and the cover up to follow?), and the new gov and his staff of who ever?

We need judges, but we don't need judges that play hodge podge with the law, I don't know, I assume they once or twice read and said out loud, their oath to a law bar or 2 or something? Their oath to the United States Government? Did the judges, I contacted forget their oath to the United States Government?

You got to have law and order from the gut, not some piece of paper handed to you on a silver platter, once in the gut, always in the gut, if never was in the guy, it'll never be.

But, perhaps judges forget, forgot it, or just don't care any more?

Their cannon, pledge, ethics, conduct, maybe they should review (continuing education), retire or some how get fired or arrested (congress could pass a law on how to deal with corrupt judges of all kinds).

But, I contacted every state senator (see posting below) , and there don't seem much intrest on any of this, so I guess the senate don't give a hoot if a federal judge or any judge for that matter, forgot their oath, has morals or ethics, respects the law (9 to 5, or 10 to 12, or 12 to 3, full time, part time, every other day, once a week) or if a federal judge, would sleaze around with a crooked sleaze ball county prosecutor (ain't that where judges come from?).

hummmmm..... maybe mayor Schwantz will or could invite them all, add some babies, teacher unions, veterans (yea the Palatine Legion, the one's, that screwed me... (seems to be the mode ofoperandi) theft of services, with the aid of x park district leader? head? boss? (chief drunk at the bar now? or bar manager, I forgot which, maybe both), they like to liquor up war veterans, then send then on there way (Palatine's master plan), add some grand ma and pa's, mothers against drunk drivers, FOP and fire department reps, a couple other chiefs (besides a chief drunk or 2), some balloons, a band, to a photo op, with the .
WORLD FAMOUS BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES . then, perhaps, be apart of, and pound down, a few, of the 25,000 drinks per weekend quota, the village is trying to squeeze out.

.No matter what,

Sounds like a lynch mob out for Blogo, to me, but than who am I? hummmmm.....

.Blago aught to say, this was all a miss understanding, it was a consulting fee I was seeking, not a bribe. He should say, how come, those in Palatine, can take bribes and here I get the book thrown at me for talking about it, geeze Obama'swife got kick backs, and it called a bonus, Obama was giving all this free money away, what about the kick backs there? Blago's judge, received my email, so, I would think, that makes the federal judge up to his neck in wire fraud, accessory, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, cover up and a bunch of others, none the less another disgrace to the bench, court, law bar cannon, ethics, oaths he took, pledge, to serve this country. Ditto applies to every us judge in that federal court house. http://us-court-northern-district-of-ill.blogspot.com/ . (There were some post emails from several of the judges offices).

I found that Palatine has (I think) a extremely high number of tax exempt /off shore bank accounts, higher, than most other villages. hummmmm.....

Personally, I think Tatooles giving Chief Bratcher $120k (who's son in court says he extracts false confessions, as part of his job on the Palatine police force) to recommend Haas (deputy chief of Palatine) for top cop job in Inverness, hummmmm..... suspicious. Amazing what a tax write off called "consulting fee" will cover.

I would bet Bratcher (wanting some free, easy money) black mailed Tatooles, he was going to expose Wenrich's perjured testimony, that Jack's brother (my defense lawyer #1 of 5) knew about, and knowingly allowed false testimony and documents to the court, and that Jack was apart of this cover up.

How many people did Haas, the police chief of Inverness, extract false confessions from? What form of torture did he use? or because of the close FOP and union brother relation ship said nothing, still says nothing, don't think it's wrong or did Haas just watch? go get coffee? clean up the mess? take notes? Tatooles, his village council, Mullins and her village council, right there in the thick of things.

This is why Inverness residents along with Palatine residents, aught to open up their eyes, wise up and stop playing dumb. Look who is running their community and what they're doing. I don't know any where this is right, except here. in this, village, town, county, state? Citizens have to take some responsibility for being apart of the corruption, shady or what ever you want to call it, deals, that their leaders partake in. How can we or you or any one sit buy when a crooked elected official, cop, judge, is leading us down, his or hers twisted and some times lawfulpath?

Is it the real wish of the Palatine people or any level headed person, to have 25,000 drinks served in down town Palatine and let these people drive home, with the risk of killing some one?

Maybe Bratcher black mailed Judge Scotillo, assistant states attoreny Chandra and Andre also, why stop with the Tatooles brothers? He could ruin several others or make $1/2 million bucks, it's legal and he has the police force to ruff up any one that got in the way.

To expose this perjured testimony would cause major problems for the Tatooles brothers and who ever. So, Bratcher to Tatooles, give me $120k as a consulting fee, you want a top cop, you can have the deputy chief, (I'll hit Haas for a finder fee) and I will let this matter with Mars, Hunter and Wenrich pass, let you off the hook. But then, Tatooles probably figured, why should I pay this money, when I can let the saps of Inverness pay, disguise it as the catch all consulting fee. Whew, thank goodnes the board are a bunch of saps also.

I would bet Tatooles has documents that this is a one time payment or Tatooles will blackmail the blackmailer back, certainly don't want to go to the press or to the authorities (that's where, pay off problems occur, the crime gets so huge, sooner of later, no one knows, who paid who off).

The cover up is always worse than the crime, we add, accessory, conspiracy, wire fraud, cover up. Because the nature of the conspiracy, this crime is, as, it happened yesterday (statue of limitations). I was in Arizona and reported this to authorities there also.

But then I witness and reported (to Scotillo, Illinois and Arizona authorities), plotting to murder, murder for hire, insurance fraud, workman's comp fraud, labor wage fraud, extortion,immigration law violations, auto theft, workers disability fraud and nobody gave a hoot, I feel real bad for the guy that painted the curbs, that might have got his head bashed in or brains splattered all over, cause he wanted to get paid, and the other people didn't want to pay him. I notified the authorities, that I thought might make a difference (the green card Italian showed me a get out of jail card from the Mesa police chief), but nothing took place (not sure, but I would bet on it).

Done partly by a some Italians from Chicago with only green cards. Maybe they are apart ofScotillo's family?

Chicago's dirt runs very deep.

Some one could poke around and I'm sure find a bunch of other crimes that I blog about and others that yet are un known to me).

A lot of jail time and a lot of fines. The state could make a lot of money if they would clamp down on this stuff.

I can't recall if I shared this with Todd Strogers or not, maybe I should send him a link, hate to bother him though, and besides, what is he going to do, forward this to Alveraz, who is up to her neck in the same crime?

I could be reporting a murder, rape, and terror (which I think it is) and the results would be the same.

Gov Quinn, got my email, what does this make him? As far as I can tell, nothing but a 2 timing crook (once again, at least, as a member of the court he has a duty and obgligaiton to up hold the law, to take action, upon receipt of my email, he has a ethic obgligation, law bar code of conduct, a oath as a elected official), more wire fraud?

Why have laws if half the country can get away with breaking em?

It makes me wounder, maybe crime is right and right is wrong? Maybe being a dirt bag, like the rest is a good thing and that is what every one is trying to tell me. Maybe some day, I will get it, but until then, I will remain the same.

. Where would Todd Strogers go to have a crooked Alveraz arrested?.

. Where would Quinn go to have Madigan arrested? .

A assistant states attorney would probably loose their job, if they did such thing (that's assuming there are a few honest lawyers working for the state, that take the law, serious)
