Ladies and Gentlemen, this is crazy.
There are two hundred-ish companies registered at the address-1024 Elysian Fields Ave–of the business Citizens Consulting (by the way, I’m going to call this company tomorrow):
Here is a picture of the building at the address…According to Glenn Beck.
Also, on the left, it gives a list of businesses…the ones that are featured…ACORN and the Affiliated Media Foundation?.
And…another organization that is at that address…the SEIU. SEIU local 100 is located at the same address as ACORN, the Affiliated Media Foundation, and other businesses…
Check out their contact page here.
Now, what is the Affiliated Media Foundation?
Find out after the jump…
I will be following this issue until I get to the bottom of it. Please check back often.
The Affiliated Media Foundation Movement is, according to the “About Us” section of their website,
“The Affiliated Media Foundation Movement (AMFM) is a grassroots effort to produce public radio news serving the needs and interests of low and moderate income Americans. We cover issues dealing with immigrant and workers’ rights, health care reform, the housing crisis, community development, the environment and public education. AMFM is a platform for voices not commonly heard in the mainstream media living in all parts of the United States.
Each week we produce a 6-minute feature which can take the form of one on one interviews, an essay or a feature providing an in-depth look at a particular topic. Habla Español? Our pieces are also available in Spanish.
We offer our work free of charge. They would make a good addition to the news hour at your local community radio station. To know more about how you can obtain our weekly programs contact julia@chieforganizer.org”
Read (AMFM “About Us” section)
Now, what is “chieforganizer.org?”
Let’s find out…
Apparently chieforganizer.org is the website of none other than Wade Rathke. Now who the hell is he? He is the founder of ACORN…and the head of SEIU local 100.
Also, folks, the address and first three digits of the phone number listed in his contact page is…you guessed it…the same as Citizens Consulting.
Now, you know that name sounds familiar… Well, his brother embezzled almost a million dollars from ACORN…which was treated as an internal matter…
Check it out here. (NY Times)
Folks, Rathke was steeped in the ideas of Saul Alinsky. Now who is Saul Alinsky? He is the guy who started the Industrial Areas Foundation and wrote the book, Rules for Radicals; the first paragraph contains the following,
“What follows is for those who want to change the world from what it is to what they believe it should be. The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.”
Here is some more information on the Alinsky/Obama connection…
Folks, there is more to come on this issue, Check back Often…I will keep you up to date. I am going to make some phone calls tomorrow and get to the bottom of this.
UPDATE: 5.13.2009
Folks, I’m afraid that this whole web is intentionally complex in order to funnel money until it disappears…
The Truth about ACORN will be discovered. It may just take a while…I’ll be sure to update you.
Here is an update on the building…
The building owner has contracts with Wade Rathke.
ACORN’s purpose is to keep people in their place.
Take a look at the quote above.
“The Prince was written by Machiavelli for the Haves on how to hold power. Rules for Radicals is written for the Have-Nots on how to take it away.”
Why try to tear down the haves? Why not just try and become a have?
Also, here are some leads I will follow.
Who is Drummond Pike? He is the guy who payed back the embezzled money mentioned above.
What is the Tides Center? It is the tax haven where George Soros writes checks to get the tax write-off and he tells them where to send the money.
How much money can ACORN make from the Economic Stimulus?
According to Michelle Bachmann, Almost $8 billion. Now, it doesn’t all go to ACORN, but it goes to the arms of their criminal organization.
I’ll keep you up to date.
UPDATE: 5.13.09:
The website, citizensconsulting.org is registered to Dale Rathke…the brother of Wade Rathke. Dale is the guy who embezzled money…
Also, the contact email for the registrant is
ccidirector@acorn.org
Hmm…I wonder who that is….
Could that mean “Citizens Consulting director at ACORN”
UPDATE: May 18, 2009:
Alright. Here’s some more information on Tides and Drummond Pike.
Tides is a place where government money goes in and is distributed.
From their own website, The “Tides Center receives charitable donations and grants on behalf of our fiscally sponsored projects and is legally and financially responsible for all project activities. It our philosophy that sponsored projects are not separate and isolated entities; rather, they are an integral part of Tides Center.”
UPDATE: May 19, 2009:
Here is the Justice Department Complaint against ACORN. Click here. (.pdf)
The Power of RICO…Hopefully they will get somewhere. That will, hopefully, get someone in Congress to take a listen!
Here is an excerpt from YE/YB (Year End/Year Begin 2006. Published in 2006.
I received this packet from ACORN whistleblower, Anita MonCrief. This is the woman who was Stephanie Strom’s informant. Now Stephanie Strom is the woman whose story was spiked by the New York Times.
“Since Election Day, we have been engaged in a flurry of meetings with senior staff in the offices
of Speaker-to-be Pelosi and Majority Leader-to-be Reid, as well as the many friends of ACORN who
will now become Chairmen of important Committee and Subcommittees in the House and the Senate.”
Who are these people? Chuckie Schumer? Barney Frank? I’ll get to the bottom of this…
Here is the entirety of the ACORN 2006 Year End Report. (.pdf…Huge file…)
Here is the video of Anita MonCrief on FoxNews
Here is the transcript of an audio tape of Ms. Strom calling Ms. MonCrief:
STROM: “Hi, Anita, it’s Stephanie. I have just been asked by my bosses to stand down. They want me to hold off on coming to Washington. Sorry, I take my orders from higher up sometimes. Anyway, I’m sorry about this, and we’ll still be in touch. Take care. And let me know if there’s anything I can do to help you. Take care. Bye-bye.”
UPDATE: May 20, 2009:
Check out Anita MonCrief on the B-Cast.
I have to agree with her, this is a criminal enterprise…
UPDATE: May 21, 2009:
I now have access to many ACORN documents…I’ll be analyzing them over the next day or so and get them up with commentary!
Here is the ACORN Organizational Chart…Its complicated…and two documents…Check ‘em out.
Wondering about the ACORN/SEIU Connection?
Wondering about the ACORN/Project Vote connection?
During 2002 and 2003, ACORN gave Project Vote $690,971.
Citizens Consulting Inc. gave Project Vote lots of money too…
Check out the Project Vote Audited Financial Statement.
Want to know what exactly Citizens Consulting Inc. really is?
They provide bookeeping services to both ACORN and Project Vote.
Here’s a letter to funders of Project Vote dated 7.18.2008.
Here is the Project Vote Registration Manual…
According to Anita MonCrief,
“CCI and ACORN and interchangeable. It used to be ACORN Associates, but after running afoul of the department of labor for funny reporting, it was suggested that they move the accounting to a outside company. This was a threat to Wade, so he created CCI to be a consulting agency that handled the books.”
So I did a little Googling…
And came up with this…
The website for ACORN Associates is “under construction…” Yeah, not helpful…Just like CCI…
So I did a whois search and I came up with a name and address.
The business address is 42 Hill Street Lexington, MA.
The name is John Walsh…not the guy from America’s Most Wanted…just FYI…
So I looked it up on Google Maps and…
Residential area across the street from a Country Club.
Anyone have information on John Walsh?
UPDATE: May 23, 2009:
So I did a Google Phonebook search for the phone number listed in the whois results, and there are two people connected to the phone number:
John/Jack Walsh and Donna Besecker.
I searched around for both of these people, but nothing of much interest…other than Donna Besecker gave almost $1,500 to the Obama campaign…
And that she possibly is a social worker, working at Salem State College.
UPDATE: May 27, 2009:
There was a lawsuit filed in Rhode Island against ACORN, and it was dropped.
Click here to read the complaint.
Click here to read the second part of the complaint.
Click here to read the dismissal.
Also, Anita MonCrief has written an excellent report connecting ACORN, George Soros, and the 2010 census. It is a shame that the MSM was asleep at the wheel on this one…
Click here to see her article.
Also, she has asked me to host the documents, and of course, I obliged.
I will eventually have the time to read through all of these and post an analysis. In the meantime, check out her article here.
Here are the documents she discusses in her article:
Joint Voter File List Proposal
Concept Paper: Building Organization from 2008 Election Cycle
Also, I discovered Muckety…And it’s excellent.
I was able to construct this map…
An interactive version is available here.
I also found an article on American Thinker…
The article is called “Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis.”
Now, in this article, there is this great map…

UPDATE: May 28,2009:
The John Merck Fund–Corporate funder of ACORN, sent a letter last year requesting documents showing that ACORN spent JMFs money as they said they would.
A copy of the letter can be found here.
This is good. It’s a good first step. Now if more companies…and the government…would follow suit, and maybe file suit too…
UPDATE: May 28, 2009:
Glenn Beck is talking about what I just posted yesterday. Creating a Crisis.
See the map immediatly above this. It explains the connection between the 60s radicals and ACORN.
Michelle Malkin has posted some great emails between Stephanie Strom and Anita Moncrief.
Folks, this is what is happening.
You are paying the government. You money gets appropriated to different groups who are all connected to ACORN. These are the 501 (c) 3 groups of ACORN. Here are some of the groups:
ACORN Institute, Inc.
American Institute for Social Justice
Association of Rights of People
Project Vote
Voting for America
ACORN International
This money then gets funneled into Citizens Consulting, Inc,
ACORN Campaign Services,
Citizens Services, Inc.–Obama Campaign paid over $800,000 to CSI. Read
It then gets shuffled around and is given to ACORN.
Your taxpayer dollars are going right into the Rathke Brothers’ pockets. According to an Email from Anita MonCrief, “They needed the money to further their political agenda (see Rules for Radicals) and used members as pawns to carry out their intimidation and harassment.”
In another email she said, “Wade Rathke wholly believed in the Cloward/Piven strategy and used the welfare movement of the 70’s to start ACORN. I doubt his motivations were ever pure.”
The Cloward/Piven strategy is what we were talking about above. Created Chaos.

Alright, O’Reilly is on. He is interviewing ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis.
B of A has given ACORN $3 Million…
Bertha Lewis: “1024 Elesian Fields is an old address.”
Bertha Lewis refused to allow O’Reilly’s people to see the books…
UPDATE: May 29, 2009:
Check Out Michelle Malkin’s new post, really focusing in on the Obama Connection.
See, this is what is happening, folks. Your money is shuffled around through the 501 (c) 3 organizations and then is funneled to ACORN. 501 (c) 3 organizations cannot support or oppose a candidate, so they leave that to ACORN; however, they can do voter drives…Project Vote… But ACORN is a 501 (c) 4, which means they can do partisan work and campaign activity…
Now, here is where we get to the reasoning behind all these organizations:
Donations to a 501 (c) 3 are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Donations to a 501 (c) 4 are not tax deductible. This poses a problem for ACORN…They need money.
More people are inclined to donate of they get a tax deduction…
So they created all these groups to pay for their partison, campaign work…like convincing Kris Kobach to run for Kansas Secretary of State…
Joking…well, sorta. His reasoning? “ACORN is a criminal Enterprise.”
Folks, with ACORN controlling the 2010 census, we can pretty much throw out the census…
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the Department of Commerce documents regarding ACORN’s participation and involvement in the 2010 census.
These Documents are available here.
Now, folks, there is a line in these documents that says:
“…Hate groups, Law enforcement, anti-immigrant groups, any groups that might make people fearful of participating in the Census…”are not allowed to partner with the census.
Now, why Law enforcement is lumped in with hate groups is beyond me…but that’s not the point…
ACORN makes me fearful to participate in the Census…
UPDATE: June 2, 2009:
Now, Folks, I’m finally getting around to reading the documents provided to me by Anita MonCrief. And, as I have speculated, ACORN is going to try and swing the census in favor of the Democrats. From the following 2004 Priorities Document:
6) Swing Congressional and State Legislative Districts Project
This is a long-term, multi-faceted project with the following goals:
a) Impact the post-2010 Congressional redistricting process by building progressive electoral majorities in swing state legislative districts in states where partisan control of legislative bodies is potentially in play.
b) Organize in 10 – 20 selected Congressional Districts where recent close elections and/or demographic shifts make them likely swing districts.
Please click here to download the .pdf of the memo…Read the whole section…It explains why ACORN wants in on the census…
Folks, I just received word from Anita MonCrief that she just turned over evidence proving ACORN’s quota system.
She sent me a direct message on twitter:
“I have turned proof of a quota over to the Nevada Atty Gen and SOS offices.”
UPDATE: June 3, 2009:
So, I’m waiting on a reply to an email I sent to the head of the Pennsylvania ACORN regarding this report.
Basically Ian Phillips said that ACORN doesn’t have a quota. I emailed the Pennsylvania ACORN people and asked them to clarify the comments… here’s the email. (.pdf) Update: here’s the email and my request for help…
Basically, either the Project Vote training manual lied…or Ian Phillips lied… The training manual says to,
“set clear numerical hourly expectations, retrain once, and then fire.”
That, ladies and gentlemen, sounds like a quota to me.
I’m going to email them again…and if they don’t respond, I’m going to give them a call. Also, I just had a thought to email Bertha Lewis…I’ll try that too and keep you updated.
UPDATE: June 9, 2009:
I have received a draft of Anita Moncrief’s new ACORN article. Here’s a quick excerpt:
“When Bertha Lewis made her statement on ‘The O’Reilly Factor’, she was overlooking several key facts that the media outlets have also overlooked; Wade Rathke never left ACORN. Rathke structured ACORN in a way so that the particulars his community organizing Ponzi scheme were only known to close family and allies.”
Here are links to three parts of an email sent from “sbachmann@aol.com” to several members of the ACORN legal staff.
I’ll post a link to the article as soon as I have one.
Here is the link to Anita MonCrief’s blog.
UPDATE: June 14, 2009:
Finally, a Mainstream newspaper is actually working on the ACORN story…
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has another article about ACORN’s quota system.
Check out the June 3, 2009 update to read my report, then compare to their report. Right now, Anita MonCrief is sending me some more information that the Tribune-Review missed. Be sure to check back for updates!
UPDATE: June 15, 2009:
Here are some links to some more documents. I’ll analyze them and update.
UPDATE: June 22, 2009:
Folks, ACORN International is now Community Organizations International.
This is the first step in their face-keeping mission. They have changed their name, now they’re gonna go underground.
Read–Wade Rathke’s blog.
UPDATE: June 26, 2009:
Folks, Rep. John Conyers has decided not to investigate ACORN because of the “powers that be.”
Well, Mr. Conyers, YOU ARE THE POWERS THAT BE…
Investigate ACORN, sir.
UPDATE: September 10, 2009:
ACORN CAUGHT trying to help couple buy house for prostitution ring to whore 13 young El Salvadorian girls…















June 18th, 2009 at 7:14 AM
Great article! (I’ll keep coming back)
The full list of ACORN’s 290 companies was published on 10/27/08 by Morningstar. (I’ve been keeping copies of it and other ACORN info on my hard drive since then because of the “changes” that keep happening on the web)http://socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/forums/p/227844/2584404.aspx#2584404
The “other” link to investigate may be: Is AmeriCorps associated with ACORN?
There is a direct link between Obama and AmeriCorps:
