Marc Grossman 500 Eighth St., NW Suite 200 Washington, DC 20004

Marc Grossman is one of a gang of corrupt bastards in DC. Mr Grossman, former #3 man at the State Dept., has been named in the Sibel Edmonds case as allegedly receiving bribes from Turkish and Israeli agents and warning the Turkish Embassy to stay away from Valerie Plame Wilson\’s \”Brewster Jennings\” front company. Yes that Brewster Jennings, which was a CIA front company for the investigation or nuclear proliferation specifically targeting the ATC (American Turkish Council)and the nuclear black market with wire taps since the early to mid nineties. Through these wiretaps, revealed by translator Sibel Edmonds, who translated the recorded wire taps for the FBI, a wealth of corruption was revealed to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime and Drugs, and others. Her claims are independently confirmed by official complaints from veteran Special Agent Gilbert Graham to the DOJ-OIG as well as similar reports filed by another former veteran FBI Counterintelligence and Espionage Specialist at FBI Headquarters in Washington DC who is publicly anonymous. These whistle blower\’s accounts have been deemed credible by both Senator Grassley and Senator Leahy who publicly published letters in support of Ms. Edmonds\’ credibility, and their verification, by independent government sources. All public info, including these letters were quickly classified retroactively and a gag order placed on Edmonds by invoking \”state secrets\” privalage. CBS 60 Minutes ran a story Sunday evening, Oct. 27, 2002, which has also been censored/gagged. Here is a link to both letters and the transcript of the 60 minutes program:http://www.thememoryhole.org/spy/edmonds_letters.htm Daniel Ellsberg says this is bigger than the Pentagon Papers: http://www.bradblog.com/?p=5583#more-5583 After being promised by Democrats before the 2006 election that if they gained power, this issue would become a priority, in November of 2007 she offered to defy the gag order to any news publication willing to print it unedited as an op ed. There were no takers in the US, so Edmonds published the pictures of the officials she had directly heard speaking on the wiretap tapes she translated, among them Marc Grossman: http://www.justacitizen.com/images/Gallery%20Draft2%20for%20Web.htm The names of the people in the photographs are revealed in this blog: http://www.bradblog.com/?cat=58 Consequently, January 6, 2008 the London Times interviewed her and ran it\’s first story, which has been published world wide, except in the US. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3137695.ece Two more stories followed. Marc Grossman is the State Department official described in the third article and why he is my first nomination: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article3216737.ece http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article3257725.ece A recent interview of Sibel Edmonds can be found at this link: http://lukery.blogspot.com/ There is a great analysis on this website as well. Marc Grossman, current Vice Chairman of Cohen Group,(link: http://www.cohengroup.net/about/teammember.cfm?id=5) is also named here in the American Conservative online: http://www.amconmag.com/2008/2008_01_28/article1.html here is an audio interview with the author of the above article, former CIA man Philip Giraldi (starts a little more than halfway through the clip): http://www.campaigniran.org/casmii/index.php?q=node/3911 here: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=12166 and here by Justin Raimondo: http://www.antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=12276 here at the John Birch Society (of all places): http://www.jbs.org/node/6808 This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Don Young

Don Young Peterson Tower Building, 510 L St, Suite 580 Anchorage , AK 99501

Alaska\’s Representative Don Young who works tirelessly bastardizing his office on behalf of his corrupting influences, namely Big Oil, and Big Money of all stripes. Don doesn\’t restrict himself to Alaska however. Oh no, he\’s busily indulging in corruptions all over the place - even in far away Florida where he went to bat for a developer - in return for a sufficient contribution of course. I am amazed he sold out that deal for a mere $40,000 though. Of course Don has decades of experience in corruption which he hardly bothers to hide - until recently that is, when the feds suddenly, surprisingly, began cracking down on bastardy in Alaska. Now he\’s doing back flips to clean up his act, at least on the surface, to the point of even (gasp!) reimbursing the Pacific Seafood Processors Association for all the free crab they\’ve furnished for his \’crab feeds\’ over the years. But, he still hanging on to all that Jack Abramoff money though - too much to give back I suppose. Young is even making \’Corrupt Bastard\’ news on the international scene!: http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i23070

Tom Anderson 716 W. 4th Avenue, Suite 610 Anchorage, AK 99501

Tom Anderson is a young corrupt pup who was on his way to big things in the corruption game who now looks like he may get to spend some time in prison. Hopefully it will be a private prison (google it) in accordance with that whole punishment fitting the crime thing.

NOVEMBER’S CORRUPT BASTARD: Jerry Lewis of California’s 41^st!!

Jerry has been a Republican member of the US House of Representatives since 1979, “representing” the 41st District of California and he has sure impressed us here at the C.B.C. Of course he was in bed with everyone’s favorite Corrupt Bastard , Jack Abramoff but there’s nothing unique about that among California’s republican members of Congress. However, we LOVE what you have done as head of House Appropriations to benefit your friends at Copeland Lowery and the Cerberus Capital Management (Cereberus: a three-headed dog with a snake for the tail – that’s perfect!) but we absolutely swoon when we hear about you dismissing 60 federal anti-corruption investigators recently; I mean who needs them wasting our tax dollars anyway eh Jerry? Congrats your t-shirt is on the way! - the C.B.C.

Ben Stevens

Ben Stevens 716 W. 4th Avenue, Suite 510 Anchorage, AK 99501

Hi I’m Ben Stevens a self-described “business consultant” who is also the president of the Alaska Senate. I’m into everything Alaskan-business from fish to oil. It sure is convenient that I sit on the Finance Committee for Natural Resources as well as on the Senate Committees for: Resources, Rules, and the joint committee for Legislative Budget and Audit. I’ll be set up for years! Oh yeah and in case you didn’t know *my daddy* is Ted Stevens so that helps too. In fact I don’t think I’ll be running for reelection (not because of my corruption scandals mind you) but to pursue more time with “my family”. Keep an eye out for me though, with my connections you’re sure to hear from (or at least about) me in the future! xoxo Ben S.

Jerry Lewis

Jerry Lewis 1150 Brookside Avenue, Suite J-5 Redlands, CA 92373

In business with Abramoff, Duke Cunningham, and a lesser known corrupt bastard (A.K.A powerful lobbyist) Bill Lowery while fattening his congressional district with america\’s tax dollars - he has to be a text book example. Trust me we will be hearing more about this man-pig even though he seems to have fired 60 investigators who were until last week auditing billions of dollars in government spending, probably because they were getting a little too close to some of this appropriations.

Dennis Hastert

aaron — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 18:39:09 +0000

Dennis Hastert 235 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515

Hastert earmarked $207 million in federal dollars for the proposed Prairie Parkway through his home state which allowed him to make a cool 2 million from real estate sales for land which would otherwise be disconnected from a major highway. Oh yeah and he apparently \”doesn\’t recall\” being warned by his senior staff (or House Majority Leader John Boehner ) about a child predator in the house who had been harassing congressional pages - there\’s that too… What a bastard. What’s wrong with these people? How come they think they can get away with this?

Curt Weldon

Curt Weldon 1554 Garrett Road Upper Darby, PA 19082

He is using his influence as a 10 year congressman to secure lobbying contracts for his daughter - one of those being a 500,000 annual contract for Russian Energy firm Itera. Keep it in the family I suppose…

Another one of Abramhoffs bastards inside the whitehouse - I\’d include an address but it doesn\’t seem like she will be there much longer. C\’est la vie.
