Andy Martin explains why Mark Kirk is guilty of “economic treason,” and why the Chicago Tribune is, once again, lying to its readers in defending Mark Kirk from the solid and factual accusations of Alexi Giannoulias. Martin, who majored in economic history at the University of Illinois, predicted in the 1970’s that the export of Illinois’s jobs would not end until there were no Illinois jobs left to export.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Andy Martin says that Alexi Giannoulias’ accusation that Mark Kirk committed “economic treason” when Kirk helped export American jobs to China is true
Martin says Kirk has betrayed the U. S. Navy, betrayed his family, betrayed gays, betrayed our economy and ultimately betrayed himself
A third of a century ago, Andy Martin predicted Illinois’ coming economic collapse
(CHICAGO)(October 22, 2010) A third of a century ago, way back in 1977, I traveled across downstate Illinois and the Chicago region. I predicted at the time that we were exporting our jobs, and that we would eventually be exporting the futures of our children. One of my close friends was Marty Ward, a UAW member who worked in the Farmall division of International Harvester. I had a lot of friends on the shop floors of Illinois’ factories.
I don’t suppose anyone believed that my predictions would come true. I had majored in economic history, and studied industrial declines. Illinois’ manufacturing economy was dying. Fellow Americans would stab each other in the back to save a nickel, so we really didn’t care if our neighbors’ jobs were exported as long as we could scrape up a few pennies in savings.
Today most of Illinois is an industrial wasteland. Downstate cites are hollow remnants of their former manufacturing glory. Chicago is a bankrupt theme park. And America itself is also an industrial wasteland. How did we get there? Well, since I have the credibility of a third of a century of truth-telling, it is time for me to take the Chicago Tribune to task for seeking to protect Mark Kirk from Alexi Giannoulias’ charge of economic treason:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/ct-met-
senate-race-1022-20101021,0,1999295.story
Mark Kirk is guilty of economic treason. He is guilty as sin.
Kirk’s standard response to any accusation is to hide inside his tattered U. S. Navy uniform. Real Navy officers cringe when they see Kirk using the Navy uniform as a political costume. Kirk is the biggest liar in Navy history and a complete disgrace to the uniform. His constant efforts to wrap himself in navy blue should make Illinois voters see red.
I really don’t want to defend Alexi Giannoulias, but Giannoulias’ accusation that Mark Kirk was in the forefront of exporting Illinois jobs to China is true. 100% true.
The Chicago Tribune knows Giannoulias’ accusation could be a lethal one for Kirk (I hope G puts up an ad on this one) and so the Tribune is trying to brand Alexi’s accusations a fantasy. They are not a lie:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/
editorials/ct-edit-treason-1022-20101021,0,3541189.story
Both political parties, of course, are complicit in the destruction of our economy and particularly in the dismemberment of our manufacturing base. Republicans didn’t do it alone, and Democrats get as much of the blame as their opponents. But, on the issue of exporting jobs and keeping profits offshore, as Google is now doing, Republicans have a far worse record than the Democrats.
The Democrats have been kept in check, a little, by their union supporters. There is only so much damage the economic royalists in the Democratic Party can do before unions start to squawk.
But Republicans do not have unions to restrain them, and that is why they have been the real malefactors in exporting our economic future to Asia.
The “economic treason” accusation comes as a result of a leak from the Kirk campaign: Someone, “no one knows who,” has leaked a memo indicating that Kirk was holding a “fundraiser” via teleconference with Americans living in Beijing:
http://thecapitolfaxblog.com/2010/10/20/kirk-campaign-held-bejing-fundraiser-day-before-tax-loophole-vote/
Well, where do you suppose those Americans were working? Rockford? They were working in China, and they were managing the export of Rockford’s jobs, and the Quad Cities’ jobs and Decatur's jobs, to China.
You have to give Kirk, the greedy little critter, credit for being so desperate for every dollar that he vacuumed up cash from people who were also engaged in economic treason: the people he tapped for campaign cash in Beijing.
The Chicago Tribune tries to defend Kirk by applying the literal definition to treason. Well, literally, Kirk betrayed America, betrayed American workers and endangered our economic future. What’s not treason?
Kirk recognizes how lethal Giannoulias’ attack could be, which is why Kirk is debasing his Navy uniform to defend himself.
Let me for a moment play advocate for Giannoulias and plead his case despite my reluctance to do so. I am opposing Kirk, but I am not endorsing Giannoulias. Still, the truth is the truth.
It is almost certain there will be an overwhelming Republican majority in the House of Representatives after November 2nd. There is a very real possibility the Senate could also “go Republican." A 100% Republican congress could become an ongoing disaster for American manufacturing and our economic recovery.
The Kirkster and all of his tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributors would be under the working control of the China lobby. Kirk & Co. would feel no restraint in allowing the continuing export of American jobs, and the continuing destruction of America’s future. Kirk and the Republicans stripped America bare during the early years of the first decade; what will stop them from doing so again? Greed, and only greed, motivates Kirk.
Kirk has always been for sale to the highest bidder and today the highest bidders are fronts for China’s economy.
Ironically, Kirk’s entire life is a continuing series of betrayals. Kirk has committed the ultimate treason, against himself.
If Kirk had maintained an honorable military career he could have campaigned as a good Navy man. But instead Kirk betrayed the Navy and he betrayed his military comrades by constantly lying about his military service.
Kirk betrayed Illinois media who covered up his lies for years, and endorsed him for office right into 2010. As recently as January 2010 Kirk was lying to the media about being “under fire” in Afghanistan, and other imaginary military escapades in his life. Even today, the media still report lies about Kirk’s "service in Afghanistan" and other military misrepresentations that Kirk has papered all across the internet. When I exposed Kirk in January as a military imposter, the media attacked me for telling the truth. A prophet is not without honor.
Kirk betrayed the Republican Party, which he later purchased in 2009 for thirty pieces of silver (now worth $50,000). That is why Kirk is still struggling as a candidate.
Kirk betrayed his wife, a topic on which we will have a blockbuster story in a couple of days.
Kirk betrayed national security, which has been the subject of our current undercover investigation.
Finally, Kirk betrayed homosexuals. Instead of acknowledging his private life, and liberating himself from a life of lies, Kirk brought down the wrath of the gays in June when they rebelled against his efforts to block the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
Unlike the Republican whacko in Alaska, who handcuffed a reporter, I seriously doubt that Alexi Giannoulias has goons who are going to handcuff Kirk and lead him away to be tried for economic treason.
But the inescapable reality is that Kirk betrayed Illinois, betrayed the Navy and ultimately betrayed himself. If that isn’t treason, what is?

Chicago news conference today: Andy Martin opens “Kirk Week” with charges of a Pentagon cover-up
Internet Powerhouse and Illinois political reformer Andy Martin will hold a “Bunker Buster” Chicago news conference today to announce that he has filed charges against Mark Kirk with the U. S. Navy JAG and DOD IG. Martin says there was a Navy/Pentagon cover-up of Kirk’s false military claims. Martin charges that that the Navy “corrupted” the Freedom of Information Act to conceal Kirk’s illegal politic activity while in uniform. Martin was the first person to expose Kirk’s fraudulent military claims in a series of radio ads and news conferences in January of this year. Chicago media ignored Martin’s evidence until it surfaced in the Washington Post. “Kirk Week” is Martin’s continuing effort to drive Mark Kirk out of politics.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF WEDNESDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO
Andy Martin asks for a Navy JAG and DOD IG investigation of the Pentagon/Navy cover-up of Mark Kirk’s fraudulent military claims
Martin says Navy officials covered-up Kirk’s lies because of fear of congressional retaliation by Kirk
(CHICAGO)(June 16, 2010) Illinois corruption fighter and former Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a “Bunker Buster” Chicago news conference Wednesday, June 16th to announce he has filed charges with the U. S. Navy JAG office and Department of Defense (“DOD”) Inspector General seeking an investigation of the cover-up by the Navy of Mark Kirk’s false military claims.
Kirk falsely claimed to have been “deployed” in Afghanistan, twice; to have won medals he did not receive; and to have seen “combat” when he was always under protective custody as a congressman
Today’s news conference opens “Kirk Week” as Martin will attack Kirk with new disclosures on a daily basis.
“When I filed my Freedom of Information (“FOIA”) requests last year the Navy failed to comply with the statute and disclose Mark Kirk’s disciplinary record for conducting politics in uniform. There was an effort by the Navy to ignore and/or cover-up Kirk’s decade-long false claims of military valor and ‘combat’ service. The Navy and DOD corrupted FOIA to cover-up for Kirk. An investigation is essential.
“Kirk’s office claims that Navy efficiency reports (“ER’s) did not mention his admonition for violating federal law by engaging in political activity in uniform. Were Kirk’s superior officers afraid to tell the truth in the ER’s because Kirk was a congressman? Were the ER’s also falsified?
“The Kirk case has left a stain and a stench over the Pentagon. It is time for some fresh air; it is time for Pentagon officials to start telling the truth and nothing but the truth about Mark Kirk.
“I have filed my investigative demands, and I will release copies of these at today’s news conference.”
Martin was the first person to run radio ads starting December 28, 2009 noting that there were “rumors” concerning Kirk’s sexuality. Martin disclosed in January that Kirk was a military imposter and posted on his web site www.markKirk.us a document from DOD confirming that Kirk’s claim to have been “deployed” in Afghanistan was false.
“If the slimy leaders of the Illinois Republican Party think they can pretend Kirk is not destroying the entire statewide ticket, they’re wrong, Martin says. “I intend to see that Kirk is run out of politics. Kirk is a disgrace to the Republican Party; any ‘Republican’ who supports Kirk (are you listening slimy Pat Brady) is also a disgrace to the Republican Party,” Martin says. “The Republican Party falsely claims to be committed to ethical government in Illinois. As long as Mark Kirk is a candidate the party's claim is a lie.”
Martin’s radio ad exposing Kirk as a military fraud can be heard on the Internet:
http://www.andyforussenator.com/andys_ads.htm
Martin’s radio ad exposed the political coverup by the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times of Kirk’s false military claims; both newspapers endorsed the military imposter.
Kirk also claims to have been “detailed” by the Navy to the CIA. Martin has filed a FOIA demand to expose whether Kirk’s claim is true or false. Mainstream media have, once again, ignored Kirk’s claim of being “detailed” to the CIA. Once again, Martin is fighting for the truth.
Martin has been a leading corruption fighter in Illinois for over forty years.

Andy Martin: The Man Who Brought Down Mark Kirk and Destroyed Kirk’s Political Career
Palm Beach, Florida news conference Friday June 4th: “Tea Party ‘Takedown’”
"Tea Party Terminator" Andy Martin says Mark Kirk’s political career is over. Thursday Kirk was weeping to Chicago newspaper editors that he "misremembered" by lying about his military record. “Kirk did not ‘misremember’” Andy Martin says. "He suffers from the psychological disturbance of ‘stolen valor.’ Kirk is still lying.”
Andy Martin ran broadcast advertising across the state of Illinois this past January exposing Kirk’s military frauds. Martin placed letters from the Pentagon on http://www.markkirk.us/. “For Kirk to claim he ‘forgot’ his lies is just another line of lying. Kirk lied when he said he was in Afghanistan in January ‘fighting for [Andy Martin’s] rights.’ Mark Kirk has a mental disturbance,” Martin says. “Mark Kirk’s political career is over. He is a closeted gay man that systematically and deliberately lied to Republican primary voters, and was supported by a Chicago media conspiracy of silence.
“It was not until media outside Chicago started exposing Kirk’s lies that Chicago’s corrupt media grudgingly began to tell partial truths about imposter Kirk.” Martin promises to expose more military lies about Kirk and notes Kirk has not yet addressed his bogus claim he was a “CIA agent.”
“WLS-AM’s ‘Don and Roma’ should be run out of town for their lies, misrepresentations and promotion of a military imposter,” Martin says. “Don and Roma have been promoting Kirk-the-imposter to their audience for years, and slighting honesty Republicans in the process.”
PALM BEACH [CHICAGO] NEWS CONFERENCE: Friday, June 4th
Chicago crime fighter Andy Martin is the “man who brought down Mark Kirk”
Tea Party sympathizer Andy Martin “takes down” another crooked Illinois politician and notches another win in his 44 year corruption-fighting career
“Mark Kirk’s political career is over,” Martin says. “Kirk has a mental disorder”
Illinois political corruption expert Martin was the first person to systematically investigate, analyze and disclose Mark Kirk’s stolen valor and closeted personal life.
“How sweet it is,” Martin says. “I told the ‘Tea Party truths’ about Kirk and the morons in the Illinois Republican Party establishment attacked me. Now these losers are stuck with a homosexual military fraud to run as the head of the Republican ticket. Tea, anyone? Delicious.”
“What about Kirk’s claims to have been a ‘CIA agent?’” Martin will ask Friday? “He still hasn’t owned up to that big lie.”
Andy Martin says Mark Kirk is jeopardizing the entire Illinois statewide Republican Party ticket in 2010

ANNOUNCEMENT OF FRIDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN PALM BEACH
Andy Martin says he promised to take down Mark Kirk after Kirk won a rigged February primary; the takedown is continuing with new blockbuster disclosures about the corrupt congressman notwithstanding Kirk’s Thursday “cry-in” to liberal Chicago newspaper editors, all of whom previously endorsed Kirk in February
In another of his Walter Mitty exaggerations Kirk also claims to have been a “CIA agent;” is he still “misremembering” that claim?
Alexi Giannoulias’ campaign was quietly monitoring Andy Martin’s Kirk investigations
Tea Party tough guy Andy Martin says “party loyalty does not extend to promoting political fraud”
Martin is holding a Friday “Tea Party” in Palm Beach
(CHICAGO)(June 4, 2010) Chicago crime fighter and anti-corruption crusader Andy Martin will hold a Palm Beach news conference today, Friday, June 4th to claim credit for ending the political career of military imposter/closeted homosexual Mark Kirk.
“Much as the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times hate to admit it, I took down Mark Kirk,” Martin will state. “Alexi Giannoulias' campaign used my campaign advertising and research as a starting point, and followed through with their own research. I provided the pointers on both Kirk's sexual misrepresentations and on his inflated military career. I filed a DADT complaint against Kirk. It's all out there on my blogs. Kirk can read it and weep.
“I beat the newspapers at their own game, by telling the truth about Kirk while they were lying to their readers. Lynn Sweet, the Sun-Times hack who appears on MSNBC, was a cheerleader for Kirk; she’s now exposed as a complete loser. Kirk had the temerity to tell the bogus Chicago media at the Union League Club in January that he was in Afghanistan ‘fighting for Andy Martin’s rights:’
http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=269173
“What ‘fighting’ did Mark Kirk ever do? He repeatedly claimed to have ‘fought in two wars.’ The man is a complete fraud. His crying fest to editorial writers on Thursday was just another step in his ongoing fraud schemes. Kirk hopes he can salvage his political career. Kirk is Kaput. Deal with it, Kirkster.”
Martin exposed Kirk’s homosexuality and military fraud in radio ads that were broadcast across Illinois beginning on December 28, 2009 and continuing through February 1, 2010. Listen to the ads at: http://www.andyforussenator.com/andys_ads.htm.
[Two of the spots are on the web site, the others are being restored.]
Martin created a media firestorm as Chicago media tried to demonize Martin for telling the truth about Kirk in Martin’s radio ads. Martin also documented his claims of military fraud concerning Kirk by posting documents on Martin’s own anti-Kirk web site [www.MarkKirk.us] showing Kirk had never served in Afghanistan.
“For forty-four years I have been fighting political corruption in Chicago and Illinois politics. The only thanks I have received is a continuing smack in the face from the media. Chicago media have lived a lie for the past half century. Media lies keep crooked Illinois politicians in power. Rick Pearson, a creepy writer at the Chicago Tribune, is a Kirk sycophant. Pearson is now disgraced and exposed for his own corruption.
“I have always worked to find the facts, and searched for the truth, and I did so during the 2009-2010 primary election. But when the truth and facts hit Chicago’s airwaves on December 28th, once again media attacked me for exposing Mark Kirk as one of the greatest frauds in American political history. So far, local media have barely played ‘catch-up’ and only scratched the tip of the iceberg of Kirk’s military fraud. Kirk is 100 times worse than Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal. Blumenthal lied a few times. Kirk lied about his entire career, for over a decade, over and over again, in his congressional materials, his campaign materials, everywhere and in every aspect of his public career.
“When my senate campaign started broadcasting the facts on December 28th, Chicago’s media morons responded by attacking me for telling the truth about Mark Kirk. What losers. If ever there was an ‘I told you so’ moment in American politics, this is it. I warned Republican voters that they were going to destroy the party if they voted for Kirk, but no one wanted to hear the truth. Well, we have more and more and more ‘truth’ about Mark Kirk to come.
“It’s just beginning.
“Kirk’s military fraud and homosexuality are now jeopardizing the entire statewide and local Illinois Republican ticket. I’ll have more to say about that very shortly.
”Ironically, Channel 7 WLS-TV devoted virtually an entire 90-minute broadcast debate in January to allowing its ‘journalists’ to trash me for running ads telling the truth about Kirk. Channel 7's Andy Shaw and Charles Thomas also owe me an apology. I have a copy of the tape. This is one of the greatest media scandals, and media embarrassments, in recent American media history. The truth was out there in the open, and Chicago media attacked the truth and attacked the truth-teller. Is it any wonder the state of Illinois is dying? That ordinary Illinoisans feel betrayed? In Illinois, the media are as crooked as the politicians.
“Ironically, the only one who paid any attention to me was Alexi Giannoulias. His people were quietly observing my campaign from a distance and taking down everything I disclosed about Kirk. Alexi’s people then did their own additional research and verified the truth of my allegations.
“There is a lesson here for Republicans: pay attention to the truth and the facts. Don’t sweep a candidate’s lies under the carpet and expect to get away with it.
“I promised to take down Mark Kirk, and I have delivered. In my opinion, party loyalty does not extend to promoting political fraud. I support the rest of the Illinois Republican ticket but I will see to it that Mark Kirk is run out of politics.
“There is lots more to come of my anti-Kirk campaign.”
Martin is in Palm Beach visiting relatives. After his news conference he will celebrate with a “tea party at Testa’s” [Restaurant].

"Tea Party Terminator" Andy Martin says Mark Kirk’s political career is over. Thursday Kirk was weeping to Chicago newspaper editors that he "misremembered" by lying about his military record. “Kirk did not ‘misremember’” Andy Martin says. "He suffers from the psychological disturbance of ‘stolen valor.’ Kirk is still lying.”
Andy Martin ran broadcast advertising across the state of Illinois this past January exposing Kirk’s military frauds. Martin placed letters from the Pentagon on http://www.markkirk.us/. “For Kirk to claim he ‘forgot’ his lies is just another line of lying. Kirk lied when he said he was in Afghanistan in January ‘fighting for [Andy Martin’s] rights.’ Mark Kirk has a mental disturbance,” Martin says. “Mark Kirk’s political career is over. He is a closeted gay man that systematically and deliberately lied to Republican primary voters, and was supported by a Chicago media conspiracy of silence.
“It was not until media outside Chicago started exposing Kirk’s lies that Chicago’s corrupt media grudgingly began to tell partial truths about imposter Kirk.” Martin promises to expose more military lies about Kirk and notes Kirk has not yet addressed his bogus claim he was a “CIA agent.”
“WLS-AM’s ‘Don and Roma’ should be run out of town for their lies, misrepresentations and promotion of a military imposter,” Martin says. “Don and Roma have been promoting Kirk-the-imposter to their audience for years, and slighting honesty Republicans in the process.”
PALM BEACH [CHICAGO] NEWS CONFERENCE: Friday, June 4th
Chicago crime fighter Andy Martin is the “man who brought down Mark Kirk”
Tea Party sympathizer Andy Martin “takes down” another crooked Illinois politician and notches another win in his 44 year corruption-fighting career
“Mark Kirk’s political career is over,” Martin says. “Kirk has a mental disorder”
Illinois political corruption expert Martin was the first person to systematically investigate, analyze and disclose Mark Kirk’s stolen valor and closeted personal life.
“How sweet it is,” Martin says. “I told the ‘Tea Party truths’ about Kirk and the morons in the Illinois Republican Party establishment attacked me. Now these losers are stuck with a homosexual military fraud to run as the head of the Republican ticket. Tea, anyone? Delicious.”
“What about Kirk’s claims to have been a ‘CIA agent?’” Martin will ask Friday? “He still hasn’t owned up to that big lie.”
Andy Martin says Mark Kirk is jeopardizing the entire Illinois statewide Republican Party ticket in 2010

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS
ANNOUNCEMENT OF FRIDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN PALM BEACH
Andy Martin says he promised to take down Mark Kirk after Kirk won a rigged February primary; the takedown is continuing with new blockbuster disclosures about the corrupt congressman notwithstanding Kirk’s Thursday “cry-in” to liberal Chicago newspaper editors, all of whom previously endorsed Kirk in February
In another of his Walter Mitty exaggerations Kirk also claims to have been a “CIA agent;” is he still “misremembering” that claim?

(CHICAGO)(June 4, 2010) Chicago crime fighter and anti-corruption crusader Andy Martin will hold a Palm Beach news conference today, Friday, June 4th to claim credit for ending the political career of military imposter/closeted homosexual Mark Kirk.
“Much as the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times hate to admit it, I took down Mark Kirk,” Martin will state. “Alexi Giannoulias' campaign used my campaign advertising and research as a starting point, and followed through with their own research. I provided the pointers on both Kirk's sexual misrepresentations and on his inflated military career. I filed a DADT complaint against Kirk. It's all out there on my blogs. Kirk can read it and weep.
“I beat the newspapers at their own game, by telling the truth about Kirk while they were lying to their readers. Lynn Sweet, the Sun-Times hack who appears on MSNBC, was a cheerleader for Kirk; she’s now exposed as a complete loser. Kirk had the temerity to tell the bogus Chicago media at the Union League Club in January that he was in Afghanistan ‘fighting for Andy Martin’s rights:’

“What ‘fighting’ did Mark Kirk ever do? He repeatedly claimed to have ‘fought in two wars.’ The man is a complete fraud. His crying fest to editorial writers on Thursday was just another step in his ongoing fraud schemes. Kirk hopes he can salvage his political career. Kirk is Kaput. Deal with it, Kirkster.”
Martin exposed Kirk’s homosexuality and military fraud in radio ads that were broadcast across Illinois beginning on December 28, 2009 and continuing through February 1, 2010. Listen to the ads at: http://www.andyforussenator.com/andys_ads.htm.
[Two of the spots are on the web site, the others are being restored.]
Martin created a media firestorm as Chicago media tried to demonize Martin for telling the truth about Kirk in Martin’s radio ads. Martin also documented his claims of military fraud concerning Kirk by posting documents on Martin’s own anti-Kirk web site [www.MarkKirk.us] showing Kirk had never served in Afghanistan.
“For forty-four years I have been fighting political corruption in Chicago and Illinois politics. The only thanks I have received is a continuing smack in the face from the media. Chicago media have lived a lie for the past half century. Media lies keep crooked Illinois politicians in power. Rick Pearson, a creepy writer at the Chicago Tribune, is a Kirk sycophant. Pearson is now disgraced and exposed for his own corruption.
“I have always worked to find the facts, and searched for the truth, and I did so during the 2009-2010 primary election. But when the truth and facts hit Chicago’s airwaves on December 28th, once again media attacked me for exposing Mark Kirk as one of the greatest frauds in American political history. So far, local media have barely played ‘catch-up’ and only scratched the tip of the iceberg of Kirk’s military fraud. Kirk is 100 times worse than Connecticut’s Richard Blumenthal. Blumenthal lied a few times. Kirk lied about his entire career, for over a decade, over and over again, in his congressional materials, his campaign materials, everywhere and in every aspect of his public career.
“When my senate campaign started broadcasting the facts on December 28th, Chicago’s media morons responded by attacking me for telling the truth about Mark Kirk. What losers. If ever there was an ‘I told you so’ moment in American politics, this is it. I warned Republican voters that they were going to destroy the party if they voted for Kirk, but no one wanted to hear the truth. Well, we have more and more and more ‘truth’ about Mark Kirk to come.
“It’s just beginning.
“Kirk’s military fraud and homosexuality are now jeopardizing the entire statewide and local Illinois Republican ticket. I’ll have more to say about that very shortly.
”Ironically, Channel 7 WLS-TV devoted virtually an entire 90-minute broadcast debate in January to allowing its ‘journalists’ to trash me for running ads telling the truth about Kirk. Channel 7's Andy Shaw and Charles Thomas also owe me an apology. I have a copy of the tape. This is one of the greatest media scandals, and media embarrassments, in recent American media history. The truth was out there in the open, and Chicago media attacked the truth and attacked the truth-teller. Is it any wonder the state of Illinois is dying? That ordinary Illinoisans feel betrayed? In Illinois, the media are as crooked as the politicians.
“Ironically, the only one who paid any attention to me was Alexi Giannoulias. His people were quietly observing my campaign from a distance and taking down everything I disclosed about Kirk. Alexi’s people then did their own additional research and verified the truth of my allegations.
“There is a lesson here for Republicans: pay attention to the truth and the facts. Don’t sweep a candidate’s lies under the carpet and expect to get away with it.
“I promised to take down Mark Kirk, and I have delivered. In my opinion, party loyalty does not extend to promoting political fraud. I support the rest of the Illinois Republican ticket but I will see to it that Mark Kirk is run out of politics.
“There is lots more to come of my anti-Kirk campaign.”
Martin is in Palm Beach visiting relatives. After his news conference he will celebrate with a “tea party at Testa’s” [Restaurant].
Andy Martin is best known around the world as the “Internet Powerhouse” investigative blogger who has exposed many of Barack Obama’s personal lies.
