Chicago news conference: Corruption fighter Andy Martin documents once again that Senator Mark Kirk is complete military fraud

Beginning in the summer of 2009 (see many links below) corruption fighting independent Internet columnist and blogger Andy Martin exposed U. S. Senator Mark Kirk as a military fraud and mental case. Andy provided DOD records as well as exposing Kirk on live television in Chicago. Illinois’ corrupt, incompetent and completely gullible media published stories that Kirk had been “fighting” in Afghanistan. “Mark Kirk is more than a Walter Mitty,” Andy charges. “He has had serious mental problems all of his life. Most of his life is a lie. And, in 2016, perhaps hoping that I would stay silent, Kirk is recycling his 2010 lies that he was ‘deployed’ in war zones and ‘fought’ in wars and similar delusional claims.

“My complaints to the Department of Defense prompted an investigation that resulted in a warning to Kirk, to stop abusing his military uniform as a political prop. But Kirk goes on lying and posting ridiculous photos. In 2010 he pretended to be a fighter pilot. CNN caught him this week in full battle dress, another fabrication and delusion. Kirk says it was a ‘mistake.’ And yet the local media in Chicago keep protecting Kirk. What is wrong with this picture?

“I may be a prophet without honor in Chicago, but I am a prophet who deals in the truth based on hard facts and evidence. Chicago’s media are complicit in Kirk’s fraud. The local TV stations and newspapers are equally culpable as liars for promoting and broadcasting Kirk’s lies.


“I have been exposing crooked Illinois politics for half a century. That has to be some sort of record,” Andy says. Andy Moved to Manchester, NH in 2010 but he continues to maintain a corruption-fighting present in the Midwest.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin brings back to public view all of the evidence he created in 2009-2010 that caused the Department of Defense to warn Mark Kirk to stop using his military uniform for politics

Andy Martin says the gullible Chicago media published Kirk’s delusions that in 2008-2010 Kirk was “fighting” for “freedom” in Afghanistan

Andy Martin demands that Mark Kirk withdraw as a candidate for reelection because of Kirk’s pathological lying

(CHICAGO) (September 21, 2016) Andy Martin, the corruption-fighting independent Internet columnist and blogger who has probably exposed more corruption and incompetence from Hawai’i to New Hampshire and points in between, will hold a Chicago news conference Thursday, September 22 to excoriate the Chicago media for shamelessly promoting Mark Kirk’s lies that Kirk has served in combat overseas.

Andy can be reached in Chicago at (312) 440-4124.

“At my prompting, the Department of Defense (DOD) opened an in investigation of Kirk and admonished him to stop playing politics with his imaginary ‘deployments’ overseas, when he was never deployed anywhere,” Andy charges. “DOD has stringent rules prohibiting members of congress from ever being placed in harm’s way. Kirk’s claim that he came under fire in Afghanistan was delusional. His claim that he was ‘fighting’ is nonsense. His claim he told General Stanley McChrystal how to fight the war in Afghanistan is delusional. What is wrong with Chicago media that they publish such delusional claims by Kirk?

“Over and over again Chicago media scorned me for telling the truth about Kirk’s lies and presenting evidence to confirm my claims, all while exalting Kirk as a military impresario.

“I call on Mark Kirk to withdraw as a candidate for reelection. He is a disgrace to the Republican Party. I would very much like to see a Republican U. S. Senate elected in November. But if the price of a Republican senate is having to reelect a liar and fraud, then that price is just too high.

“This week CNN caught Kirk lying all over again. Notably, it was out-of-town CNN that exposed Kirk, not the local Tribune or Sun-Times.

“In 2010 Kirk was wearing a pilot’s gear. This time Kirk posted a picture in full battle dress (see CNN link below).

“There are simply too many links I have generated showing Kirk is a fraud, so without categorizing them I placed all of them below. The top link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgKVBYvJ9mE&NR=1)
shows where I exposed Kirk on live television in Chicago (closing statements at the end). I also highlight the propaganda published by the Sun-Times and the ever gullible groupie Lynn Sweet (http://www.pressreader.com/usa/chicago-sun-times/20100108/281698315868119).

“The Tribune’s creepy Rick Pearson was another flack who promoted Kirk and tried to undermine the credibility of my evidence. Mike Riopell is also exposed as a local media idiot. I could go on but the trend is obvious. The links from 2009-2010 are there (see below).

“If we want to know why Illinois is a ‘failed state’ and why Chicago is dying, the fact that Chicago’s media have betrayed and corrupted their public trust and duty to present the truth, and instead promoted phonies like Kirk is bitter medicine to swallow.

“Kirk should step down. The firestorm generated by his latest lies is, belatedly, going to consume him. He has done so very much damage over the years.

“I also call on the Illinois Republican Party to denounce Kirk for his lies, the way they attacked me for exposing the truth about Kirk. The fact that the institutional party supported Kirk is a disgrace to honest and honorable politics. Enough. Kirk must go. And go now. I have more evidence and extensive files but I don’t have them handy, since they were archived long ago. But the DOD records can be retrieved directly from the Pentagon. They are public records.”

Mike Riopell

While one of his Senate Republican opponents was attacking U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk in radio ads this holiday season, the five-term congressman and Naval Reserve officer was serving in Afghanistan. Kirk has now returned and will no doubt hit the media Thursday with his assessment of the Afghanistan war and President Barack Obama's handling of the failed airline bombing on Christmas Day. This is the second time the Highland Park Republican has served a brief tour in the war-torn country as an intelligence officer. Last year, he also deployed to Afghanistan over the Christmas holidays, making him the first sitting congressman to serve in a war zone since World War II.

Obama expert Andy Martin: “Birther” issue will almost certainly boomerang on Hillary Clinton

Andy Martin, the independent Internet columnist and blogger who created the “Birther” movement and became Barack Obama’s first antagonist, says that toady’s attacks on Donald Trump are almost certain to backfire and benefit Trump. “Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) will see their racial politics boomerang and benefit Trump,” Andy predicts. “The CBC and Clinton are engaged in shameless race-baiting and it is going to turn off undedcideds and Millennials. Trump closed the book today. Efforts by Clinton and her media sycophants to revive and reopen the issue are going to backfire.” Andy will hold a Saturday news conference in New York to further address the issue. After losing a congressional primary in New Hampshire earlier this week Andy has rejoined the national political conversation. Watch for his investigative reports on Clinton and Trump.

Andy Martin says “Birther” issue may boomerang on Hillary Clinton and Congressional Black Caucus

Andy Martin created the “Birther” movement and then walked away when the issue was taken over by crazies claiming Barack Obama was born in Kenya

“I have always stated unequivocally that Barack Obama was born in Hawai’i,” Andy says “The origin of the ‘Birther movement’ was not a so-called ‘Kenyan birth’ but rather my efforts to force the release of Obama’s Hawai’i birth certificate”

Andy says that efforts by the Congressional Black Caucus and Hillary Clinton to exploit the Birther issue are almost certainly going to boomerang on Clinton and benefit Trump

Andy plans to hold a news conference in Forest Hills, NY on Saturday morning (the 17th) to provide greater depth and detail

(NEW YORK) (September 16, 2016) Andy Martin, the corruption-fighting Internet columnist and blogger who first challenged Barack Obama’s family story in 2004 and later created the so-called “Birther” movement says that today’s efforts by Hillary Clinton and the Congressional Black Caucus to harass and harangue Donald Trump are almost certainly going to backfire and end up benefiting Trump. “You heard it here first,” Andy says.

“What Clinton is doing and what the liberal media is doing is going to boomerang on her and benefit Trump. She is trying to attract ‘swing’ voters. Will they really be impressed by a lecture from Charlie Rangel and other members of the CBC on the dead issue of Obama’s birth certificate? Very doubtful.”

Andy created the “Birther” movement in 2004 when he published his first expose on the misrepresentations Barack Obama had made about his family history. (Please see link #1 below). Andy knew of Barack Obama from Obama’s days in the Illinois State Senate and thus was in a unique position to research and investigate the man who eventually became president, please see link #2 below.

“The original Birther movement which I created was based on Obama‘s refusal to release his long-form birth certificate in 2008,” Andy says. “Obama had issued a computerized record, a certificate of live birth, but not the original document. I sued in Hawai’i to release the original document and the Birther movement was born out of my litigation and Internet columns.

“I always maintained Obama was born in Hawai’i. Later crazies took over the movement and proposed increasingly irrational and unfounded claims Obama was born in Kenya. I never supported those claims in any way.

“Nevertheless the Kenya theorists eventually took control of Birtherism and I walked away and disassociated myself. Donald Trump was a late arrival. He never sent anyone to Hawai’i and no doubt just took my own original research and used it himself. I have asked Trump to release his records and he never has.

“Nevertheless until this week the Birther issue was dead-as-a-door-nail until Clinton operatives decided they could use the issue to agitate their ‘base.’ But using Obama's birth certificate is a desperate and counterproductive maneuver. Voters know Obama is not on the ballot. People are going to be turned off by the Clinton/CBC actions.

“Trump dealt with the matter as best he can, and today he finally closed the book. End of story.

“The ‘base’ Clinton is trying to agitate is not the base they are losing. So instead of benefiting Clinton, the latest effort to exploit Birtherism is almost certainly going to boomerang on Clinton and the CBC with independent voters and millennials.

“I will hold a news conference in Forest Hills, NY York Saturday morning to further detail my beliefs and conclusions.

“Ironically, the man who ultimately created the Birther movement was Obama himself. He and Michele would constantly drop hints that Kenya was ‘home.’ They never disavowed claims by Kenyan politicians that he had been born there. They falsely claimed that a ‘granny’ was his grand mother, even though she was senile and claims to have been present at Obama’s birth, which was obviously delusional. Obama fed the Birther movement because he has shamelessly use Birther catnip to irritate and frustrate the right. He is the real ‘founder’ of doubts about his origins.

“For myself, he never fooled me. I always believed Obama was 100% American born, even though his emotional and psychological loyalties may lie elsewhere.”
