more corruption exposed: Cunningham-Wilkes-Abramoff scandal |
|
now up at www.madcowprod.com
"K STREET ON THE TIGRIS" MEETS THE "POWAY MAFIA"
The Wilkes Foundation, a charity run by embattled San Diego lobbyist and defense contractor Brent Wilkes, was suspended last month by the California Secretary of State for failure to submit financial statements, the MadCowMorningNews has learned.
A close examination of the Wilke's Foundation's purported beneficiaries revealed more disturbing news. The Air Warrior Courage Foundation, one of only two charities supported by Wilke's Foundation, was suspended at the same time as the Wilkes Foundation, and for the same reason, according to a spokesman in the California Secretary of State's office.
And the largest contributor to the Wilkes Foundation, a lobbyist living in Virginia who owns a company called GTS, provides another indication of the deep roots of the Cunningham-Wilkes-Abramoff scandal; that, rather than the malfeasance of a "few bad apples," we are witnessing the exposure of corruption that goes all the way to the bone.

Daniel Hopsicker has a way with words that does wonders for my spirit. This single scandal has more people involved than I could have imagined. Let's hope they all stay healthy until their court date.
