Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin exposes Jeanne M. Ives, a de facto dupe for Illinois Republican Party corruption

Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin exposes the Chicago Crime Syndicate-dominated Illinois Republican Party behind the “conservative catnip” of anti-abortion, anti-tax and anti-government blather in state politics. Andy strips away the bark hiding increased political corruption in DuPage County and identifies Jeanne M. Ives as a dupe for Chicago media slickster Dan Proft. Andy identifies Proft as the de facto head of organized crime activity in the Illinois Republican Party.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



FOCUS ON ILLINOIS



On March 20th, Republicans will go to the polls in Illinois; Andy Martin will focus from time-to-time on interesting races taking place “below the radar” in the sewers of Illinois politics



Andy Martin says Dan Proft is the de facto representative of organized crime in the Illinois Republican Party



Dan Proft is trying to elect Jeanne M. Ives as a state representative in suburban DuPage County, as Chicago hoods try to tear down and gain control over the last bastion of the Republican Party in Illinois



Andy says honorable Republicans should defeat Ives and run Dan Proft out of the party



(CHICAGO) (March 5, 2012) I went to the Illinois legislature as an intern in the 1965 General Assembly, forty-seven years ago. Legislators and courts had failed to reapportion the state so the state house ran “at large” in 1964, with each party fielding “bed sheet ballots” with 177 candidates (the legislature has since been downsized, a great loss to the state as a whole given the paltry savings which the downsizing generated).



In Springfield the Chicago Crime Syndicate or “Mafia,” locally known in Illinois as “The Outfit,” had its own state senators as well as a gaggle of General Assembly members. The Republican Party also had the “West Side Block,” which was a group of members who were elected as nominal Republicans in Chicago but who actually voted as crime syndicate stooges and de facto Democrats in Springfield.



Although the legislature was a cesspool of corruption, there were also shining lights in the war against gangster politics. Then-State Senator Paul Simon, who went on to national prominence, had been condemned by his own senators for writing an article detailing the extent of corruption in the Illinois legislature. Adlai Stevenson III was in his first term and acted as a front-man for reformers. Abner Mikva went on to a distinguished career in congress and the judiciary after being marked for extinction by organized crime elements in the Chicago Democratic Party. Leland Rayson, Bob Mann and Dan Pierce were reliable votes for reform.



My personal favorite was Representative Anthony Scariano. Scariano labored under the handicap of being an Italian-American and thus “presumably” under the thumb of “Italian” leaders, all of whom had to make their peace with The Outfit. Scariano never did. Tony Scariano was one of the most honest men to ever serve in Illinois politics, and he paid a high price for his integrity.



The Outfit was so powerful that when Scariano was up for appointment as a federal judge, hoodlums were able to block his nomination out of fear he would crusade again corruption from the federal bench. It was a sad day in Illinois politics when the Scariano nomination was shelved. (He later was elected to a state judgeship.)



Even the most honorable of men could be compromised. Fortunately for me, despite invitations to do so I have never sold out or buckled under to the crooks in either the Democratic or Republican parties.



While we call it the “Chicago” crime syndicate, most of the leading gangsters actually lived in the Cook County suburbs, or “townships,” which are outside Chicago proper but still part of the Cook County “machine.” As early as the Al Capone era in the 1920’s, the Town of Cicero had been Capone’s headquarters. Ninety years later, Cicero is still the headquarters of organized crime in Illinois.



And—no surprise—there are still gangsters and hoodlums in both parties. The hoodlum Pesek Brothers have made a fortune milking Cicero. One of these gangster brothers actually serves on a local school board. The Peseks are nominal Republicans and thus welcome in the party of Republican State Chairman Pat Brady.



Pat Brady worked briefly as a federal prosecutor but then crossed over to the corruption side of Illinois politics, where the real money is made. In reality Brady is now nothing more than a dupe for organized criminal activity (as he collects a fat paycheck from a nationally prominent “consulting” firm).



Sadly, the Illinois Republican Party is probably the most corrupt of the nation’s state parties. Another dubious “first” for Illinois. Barack Obama, anyone?



United States Senator Mark Kirk used to brag that he was Mayor Richard M. Daley’s favorite Republican; Kirk carried water for Daley in the U. S. House. No, Kirk is not a hoodlum or thug or speak with “dems” and “dose.” Kirk is merely a mousey fellow traveler who “got along” with organized crime because organized crime had the power to destroy him by exposing his closeted gay life.



Today the slick face of organized crime in the Republican Party is Chicago media huckster Dan Proft. Proft has made a fortune milking Cicero (see links below as a starting point; there are many more) for “public relations” services.



Proft is held in high esteem by the same “Republican Party leaders” who played ball for decades with Richard J. Daley and then his son Richard M. Daley. Proft is being lavishly funded by many of these same respectable “Republican” Chicago-based businessmen, some of whom may have no idea they are funneling cash into the Crime Syndicate. Or maybe they don’t want to know where their cash is really going. That’s the “Chicago Way.” Just ask Barack.



Proft is trying to elect Jeanne M. Ives as a state representative in Wheaton, Illinois (see link below). Ives in turn has been a Proft groupie for years. It’s hard to believe that someone as bright as Ives, a West Point graduate, doesn’t know she is being used, and will be used in Springfield if she is elected, to undermine Republican Party reformers who are trying to rid the state of crime syndicate politicians.



Ives says she is a “conservative” and no doubt she is feeding DuPage County ladies the usual right-wing catnip: “Pro-Life, lower taxes, less government, etc.” But Illinois has higher taxes and more government than almost any other state. Abortions? Don’t ask. So how’s that right-wing Republican catnip "working for ya" in Illinois?



A handful of political operators in both parties (called “The Combine” by some media observers) continue to enrich themselves while the People of Illinois are increasingly impoverished and the state is bankrupt.



Can Jeanne M. Ives be stopped? We will find out on March 20th. If Ives wins the primary, Illinois and Illinois Republicans will be the losers.



In closing, let offer this ironclad disclaimer. I have never spoken with any of Ives’ opponents, and am not supporting any one of them. I just know Dan Proft; after forty-six years I know organized crime in Illinois, and I know Jeanne M. Ives is a de facto dupe for The Outfit as it seeks to extend its tentacles into DuPage County.



Here’s hoping DuPage voters do the right thing and overwhelmingly reject Ives for state representative.



COMING NEXT IN ILLINOIS: The “Midgetman” is the latest stooge for corrupt politics in Illinois. And he’s being supported by—no surprise—Pat Brady and his stable of reliable stooges and closeted gay men in an intra-party battle to stave off political reform.



P.S. If I may insert a political “commercial” for my own campaign, I am the only Republican presidential candidate with a history of fighting corruption in politics and government. America today is corrupt to the core. Our congress is corrupt and our business establishment is corrupt, which is why we had an economic collapse over the past several years. We have a crime syndicate “front” in the White House.



I am ready to reform our great nation. Are Americans ready to rebel? I have forty-seven years of experience ferreting out and fighting crooked politics. Republicans can still “broker” me into the nomination at the Tampa Convention. Could I do a worse job as a presidential candidate than the liberal media’s remaining “Four Musketeers?” Four sure losers. Ultimately, when corruption flourishes, America and Americans are the losers. The proof is all around us.

Andy Martin demands Illinois Republican Party purge local Crime Syndicate thugs

Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin says that the Illinois Republican Party is dragging its feet ridding the party of Mafia (Chicago Crime Syndicate) penetration. The IRP has a long history of being influenced by organized crime figures going back to the “West Side Block.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ATTENTION CHICAGO DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Chicago news conference today, Saturday, April 30th to demand that Illinois Republican Party leaders purge the party leadership of organized crime influence and personalities



Martin says Cook County Republican Party Chairman Lee Roupas is a “front” for organized crime and a disgrace to the Greek-American community



Martin has been fighting the influence of organized crime in Illinois politics for decades, and has successfully exposed Crime Syndicate penetration of both political parties



Although Martin’s focus has shifted to the national stage he continues to monitor Mafia penetration of the Illinois Republican Party



(CHICAGO)(April 30, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Chicago news conference today, Saturday, April 30th at 1:00 P.M. to demand that the Illinois Republican Party (“IRP”) “stop playing footsie” with organized crime figures who have infiltrated the IRP.



Martin says “the Brothers Pesek” continue to exercise influence over IRP affairs at the county level. Martin also charges that Cook County Republican Chairman Lee Roupas is a “disgrace to the Greek-American community” because Roupas tolerates Mafia penetration of the Cook County party. “Why is Lee Roupas allowing ‘crime syndicate committeemen’ to remain in the Cook County party?” Martin demands. “Craig Pesek resigned from the state committee but is still serving on the Cook County committee. Why?



“The obvious conclusion: Roupas is acting in part as a ‘front’ for organized crime figures.



“State IRP Chairman Pat Brady recently said that ‘appearances matter.’ I agree. Why is Skip Saviano a state committeeman? Saviano comes out of the roots of the old ‘West Side Block’ that packed up and moved to the suburbs. Saviano may not be a Mafia member directly but he is directly linked to organized crime figures in Chicago. What an ‘appearance.’



“People reading this must wonder ‘Is Andy watching too many late night Robert De Niro movies?’ No, I’m not. (see links below) Chicago really is a ‘mob’ city. The Mafia (called ‘The Outfit’ in Illinois) is a very real and very pernicious presence in both political parties. Republicans are just as culpable as Democrats, which is why the state is controlled by a bipartisan ‘combine’ run by both parties to perpetuate corruption.



“How could Craig Pesek’s brother Jeff be ‘reelected’ this week to the presidency of a local school board? Jeff Pesek testified under immunity in an organized crime trial (link below). There is a climate of fear which extends from the historic ‘Crime Syndicate Capital’ of Cicero to other suburban communities. This is how organized crime extends its tentacles into politics and ‘honest graft’ involving public agencies.



“Lee Roupas and Pat Brady should be prosecuted as accessories to ‘Outfit’ corruption if they keep turning a blind eye to these outrages” Martin says. “I may be running for president, but I have been fighting Crime Syndicate hoodlums for decades. The ‘families’ keep breeding thugs generation-after-generation. The Pesek Brothers are a classic example.



“We have similar problems nationally. Most presidential candidates are afraid to tackle political corruption and Mafia penetration of legitimate activity. I am not.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ATTENTION FLORIDA DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach news conference Friday, April 15th to launch a new corruption-fighting initiative against Chicago Crime Syndicate penetration of the Illinois Republican Party



Martin has scheduled a New York news conference for Monday, April 18th to drop a new “Birther Bomb” on the Obama reelection campaign



Martin calls Republican presidential Newton Gingrich “a crook”



BULLETIN: Meet Andy informally Thursday evening (April 14th) at The Palm Beach Steakhouse where Andy will be enjoying “Greek Night” at 7:00 P.M. (Dutch treat, reservations optional)



(PALM BEACH, FL)(April 14, 2011) Corruption-fighting Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin holds a Palm Beach, Florida news conference Friday, April 15th at 4:00 P.M. to announce he has contacted the United States Grand Jury and FBI in Chicago to request a full investigation into Chicago Crime Syndicate (“Mafia”) infiltration of the Illinois Republican Party. Andy Martin was the first person to disclose the direct link between then-indicted Tony Rezko and then-candidate Barack Obama.



Monday, April 18th, Martin plans a New York City news conference to drop a new “Birther Bomb” on his long-time nemesis President Barack Obama.



“I’ve been in South Florida waiting for Obama mouthpiece Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald to show his face,” Martin says. “Pitts is hiding. I’m not. Pitts wrote a column using racist stereotypes to describe people who ask legitimate questions about Barack Obama’s family history.



“Thursday evening I will be enjoying ‘Greek Night’ at the Palm Beach Steakhouse. People are welcome to join me for dinner, at their expense, for informal conversation. I arrive at 7:00 P.M.



“Friday things heat up when I tackle the Chicago Mafia.



“Monday we will blow another hole in the Obama ‘nativity narrative.’



“When I went to the Illinois General Assembly in 1965 as a political science intern, I had no idea I would end up fighting the Chicago Crime Syndicate for the rest of my life. I later helped send crime syndicate hoodlums to prison. And they retaliated. I planted the seeds for ‘Operation Greylord.’ In Chicago, the Mafia is known as ‘The Outfit’ and the Crime Syndicate.



“One writer has described Illinois/Chicago politics as a ‘Combine,’ in which the elite of both parties ‘combine’ to share the spoils and continue corruption under both Democratic and Republican administrations.



“In 1965, the Crime Syndicate had its own state senator in the legislature. The Chicago City Council was infiltrated with Mafia thugs and apologists. Today the Illinois Republican Party is being manipulated by crime syndicate hoodlums and their media mouthpieces.



“Friday I will release my communication to the U. S. Grand Jury seeking extended investigation of the Mafia’s influence in the Republican Party. Years ago, the syndicate’s influence in the Republican Party went under the rubric of the ‘West Side Block.’ These officials were nominal Republicans who took their marching orders from Mafia kingpins.



“Today we have Dan Proft, who appears to function as the syndicate’s ‘ambassador’ to the mainstream media. WLS-AM promotes Proft as a ‘commentator’ although Proft is knee deep in political corruption in the long-time time crime syndicate capital of Cicero. Cicero was Al Capone’s headquarters and continues to be the nexus of criminal activity (see justia link below).



“I have been flooded with calls asking me why the Illinois Republican Party tolerates Crime Syndicate infiltration (suntimes links below). My response: Illinois Republican Leaders such as Pat Brady and Andy McKenna are part of the criminal combine that controls corruption in Illinois. Their ‘business’ involves ‘doing business’ with criminals. You can’t expect the crooks, or their mouthpieces such as Dan Proft, to blow the whistle on themselves. Modern Illinois legislators such as state senator James DeLeo and representative Skip Saviano have Mafia odors.



“I know some Republicans will be irritated that I am seeking criminal prosecution of Illinois Republican leaders. Well, that’s tough. I am a Republican. But the ultimate loyalty to a party comes when you expose corruption, not when you conceal it. Party loyalty is no basis for condoning criminal activity. Not in Illinois, not in New Hampshire, not anywhere.



“With a forty-six year track record of fighting political corruption I am the only presidential candidate the American people can trust. Newton Gingrich was a crook in Congress, he has been a crook out of congress, and he would be a crooked president if he stumbled into the White House.



“Barack Obama is not directly crooked but he has accepted the ‘spoils’ of the criminal system in which he rose to power in Illinois. Can anyone point me to one instance where then-state senator Obama exposed or fought corruption? There are none. Obama was a go-along, get-along part of corruption in Illinois, as I documented in my book ‘Obama: The Man Behind The Mask,’” Martin says.



Andy Martin was the first legal scholar to apply the federal civil racketeering statue to political corruption when he filed pathfinding cases against crime syndicate influence in Illinois politics. He is credited with triggering the “Civil RICO” revolution in American jurisprudence. His new request for FBI and Grand Jury investigations is only the first step in a campaign to rid the Illinois Republican Party of crime syndicate penetration and manipulation.
