Evelyn Pringle began her series "Curtain Time for Obama" on May 11, 2008, with an 11-page article published at OpEdNews and Scoop (NZ).
Most important for connecting the dots in the [Operation] Board Games investigation, is the clarification that it is not the Rezko case. The only reason it's always referred to as the "Rezko" case is because he happens to be the first defendant to be brought to trial.
Also, the first trial is focused on the corruption of two Illinois boards, the panel that approves investments from the $40 billion pension fund of the Teachers Retirement System, and the Health Facilities Planning Board, which approves all medical facility construction projects in Illinois.
But the Operation Board Games cases involve corruption with officials and employees in many other state agencies and real estate deals are at the heart of most with Riverside Park front and center.
Pringle published a second, condensed version of Part 1 in the "Curtain Time for Obama" series on May 14, 2008, exclusively here at RezkoWatch.
Part 2 of "Curtain Time for Obama," which "shows that Obama was "the inside guy in the Illinois senate as far as setting up the Health Facilities Planning Board to extort contributions from companies in exchange for the approval of applications to build medical facilities," was released May 13, 2008. It is available at OpEdNews.
In Part 3 of "Curtain Time for Obama," published May 15, 2008, at OpEdNews, Pringle continues by weaving together the events surrounding Aiham Alsammarae, Nadhmi Auchi, Tony Rezko, the power plant contract in Iraq, and Companion Security, as well as the role played by Sen. Obama—which have been discussed previously at RezkoWatch—into the overall tale of Operation Board Games, showing how it fits neatly within the scenario.
In Part 4 of "Curtain Time for Obama," published May 16, 2008, at OpEdNews, Pringle writes:
The solution to the problems arising from the unsuccessful attempts to shut down Operation Board Games would be for Barack Obama to become president and issue a bipartisan pardon to all members of the “Combine” who funded his seat in the US Senate. The scam worked when Scooter Libby took the fall for the Bush administration.
However, that might not be so easy. US attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has made quite a name for himself eliminating the corruption in Illinois right down the line from the governor’s office to the Cook County Board to Mayor Richard Daley’s political mafia in Chicago.
And Illinois voters are behind their new Elliot Ness. A May 30, 2007 poll by the Glengariff Group found voters support the job he is doing by "a very wide and very strong margin.”
Pringle writes May 18, 2008, in Part 5 "Curtain Time for Obama", published by OpEdNews: "If the Combine’s plot to get rid of Patrick Fitzgerald and shut down Board Games had worked, Rezko would have landed an office right smack in the middle of the White House."
In the Final Chapter of "Curtain Time for Obama," Pringle writes May 22, 2008, at OpEdNews: "Judging from the indictments in Board Games unsealed so far, Obama's legal culpability at this point anyways, stems from his involvement in setting up and receiving money from the pay-to-play schemes."

May 18, Anonymous said: I do not believe Orlando Jones commited suicide, and Gary Poter the contractor who worked for Rezko who was murdered by a disgrunted employee over 2 years ago and has not yet been tried, there is more to that story as well.
Anonymous said. I don't believe it's just another coincidence that 3 Gay members of Trinity church were murdered between Sept and Dec of 2007. What an awful lot of bodies are piling up in the city of the Chicago Combine!
Anonymous said. It's also noteworthy that the last person Mr. Jones met with before having a Smith & Wesson headache was his friend and attorney of many years, Bob Stephenson. (Source: Chicago Sun-Times)Noteworthy in particular because Stephenson was also the "special outside counsel" to the Board of the Teachers Retirement System during 2005-2006 tasked with being the TRS liaison to the US Attorney's Office.. He was placed there through the influence of the two Rezko-linked appointees to that Board (and Blagojevich/Obama contributors) Anthony Abboud and Jack Carriglio and the Blagojevich-controlled State Schools chief, Randy Dunn. Stephenson was fired in2006 after the TRS Executive Director caught him padding his bills. (Source:public documents)His relationship to Jones, a target of the investigation, was nver disclosed to anyone at TRS. Abboud, Dunn, and Carriglio all left the TRS Board within the next few months. Stephenson remains the counsel to the corruption-plagued Village of Rosemont, where Rezko one owned vacant land adjacent to a now-dormant casino site, and where multiple organized crime-related scandals have occurred in recent years.

It is horrifying that from this corrupt mess springs a Presidential candidate of the smooth moves and speeches, so cynically carrying the message of hope and change. Evelyn Pringle deserves an award on this series. She's done the research and legwork that no others [beyond several Chicago reporters, actual journalists] have done.
The true crime and tragedy is that this information on the Combine and Obama's ties has been muzzled, muffled or dismissed by the larger MSM. They would have us crown a flawed and tattered prince, sit down, and shut up.
Brava to Ms. Pringle for doing none of these things. We should all pray this series is given light and attention, sooner rather than later. Because I do believe, it's just a matter of time.
Imagine this as you read through Pringles work - Everytime you see the name "Obama" substitute it with "Hillary Clinton". Now imagine sending that version to the MSM - who do you think would break their leg first trying to get on the air with news of Sen. Clinton's illegally tinged behavior?
Obama has to be watched!
