Regarding Orly's post titled "Charities, Chicago and Terrorism", where she ties a Charity called "America Care Society", old Name "Iran Earthquake Relief Fund", to nuclear weapons.
You'll have to look at the blog entry. It's really hard to condense.
http://defendourfreedoms.us/2009/02/19/ ... orism.aspxAnyway... what I read about AHMAD BARAVATI is that Obama did represent him. He was a whistleblower. Obama won. One of the very few cases Obama argued. (As I understand, he did most of his law work behind the scenes, and did little trial work.)
Quote:
Defending a whistleblower
In 1994, Obama went before the 7th Circuit to defend Ahmad Baravati, a trader blackballed by his bosses after he reported them for fraud.
An arbitrator awarded Baravati $60,000 in damages plus $120,000 in punitive damages against the former bosses.
They appealed, saying arbitrators don't have the power to award punitive damages.
Obama had a tough job because the same court had ruled a week earlier that an arbitrator could not award punitive damages. But Obama convinced them this case was different.
"You're suggesting that there's a federal common law that likes punitive damages, but this could be preempted by a state law that says 'no punitive damages,'" Posner told Obama.
"I don't think I'm saying there's a federal law that 'likes punitive damages,'" Obama responded, not dropping his tone of respect. "I think what I'm saying is that there's a federal law that likes the notion that the same remedies that will be available in court will be available in arbitration."
Obama won, and Baravati got to keep the extra $120,000. He still is grateful.
"I found he's a very smart, innovative, skilled, relentless advocate for his client," Baravati said. "When I met him, he reminded me of Abraham Lincoln."

Now... as I understand it, there was a devastating earthquake that hit South-East Iran (Bam) before dawn on December 26, 2003. Over 26,000 people died. Lots of "Iran Earthquake Relief" Funds were established. Lots of countries sent people to help.
Barvati sets up "Iran Earthquake Relief Fund". Looks like set up 1/5/2004.
Later, the name was changed to "America Cares Society".
=============
Orly ties it in this way. First, she gives the definition of a 501(c)(3) organization:
Quote:
IRS Subsection 501(c)(3) - A religious, educational, charitable, scientific or literary organization.
(scientific is also underlined, in case you missed the bold text.)
then...
Quote:
Obama was successful with his client. They managed to ensure that this charity was able to issue the necessary grants for Iran's scientific needs without the regulation of the ILLINOIS COMMERCE COMMISSION. Now Iran can enjoy status in the space club.
Orly has a graphic on her site of a rocket.
Of course, the comments are about contacting the FBI.
"The Betrayal" carries this nonsense as well.
I believe lots of this information Orly is using is being collected here:
http://www.webofdeception.com/obama.htmlYou can almost guess what the next conspiracy will be based upon the garbage deposited there.
=============
Of course, maybe Baravati somehow PLANNED the earthquake so he could set up a phony fund to pay for Iran's weapons? Ya just never know.
Orly is just EVIL. It's not that she's stupid. She is an incompetent lawyer... and dentist. But... to twist and distort stories. To just lie. She is really nuts.
