Detroit Corruption Trial of Kwame Kilpatrick and Romney family links

If John Rakolta was  extorted 5 million dollars, why isn't Rakolta on the witness stand?

Shouldn't Rakolta be on the witness stand, weeping and tell the jury and public how terrified he was of Kilpatrick. Shouldn’t the victim Rakolta, give a description on the witness stand how Kwame did a shake down on him and the mere presences of Kwame sent Rakolta into a state of uncontrollable fear?

 Did Terry Mullins shake Rakolta down also and strike the same cord of fear in Rakolta?  

Powerful John Rakolta, a Romney family in-law, the co-chair of Mitt Romney’s National Finance for Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign, along with G.Scott Romney, from Michigan’s most powerful law firm, was terrified of Kwame Kilpatrick and handed over bundles of cash to Kilpatrick?

  Rakolta, a man whose relatives put in place governors, senators and congressmen into state and national positions, whose relatives have manipulated, mobbed, and covered-up child hood sexual abuse for decades in the Michigan Mormon Church was cowered by Kilpatrick?  Not to mention, one Romney family best friend is Karl Rove, noted for insidious political dirty tricks and who is also known  for taking out anyone in the way.

 Kilpatrick the man whom Peter Karmanos stated “is the best we have” and  collected funds from Michigan’s most powerful for Kwame. Karmanos who give KK  jobs, homes and protection- shakes Rakolta to the core?  John’s brother -in-law, Scott Romney, sits on the board of Compuware and is  long time close friend with Karmanos.  Kwame is some powerhouse of political clout!

 There is no doubt money was changing hands, contracts given, others bidders shut out. Is it extortion or willing partners in bribery and kick- backs?   Members of the Romney criminal syndicate are innocent victims?  Ridiculous. The Romney criminal syndicate act like thugs themselves.  During the RNC convention, votes were rigged and Republican delegates threatened, some hi-jacked and forced to stay on a bus to miss voting – all by members and supporters of Romney’s group, while Scott Romney guided the Romney family and state GOP friends into the most lush accommodations  and favored seating offered during the RNC convention.  The Romney family that has bought off judges, attorneys and rig voting are terrified by Kilpatrick?

 There was money exchanging hands, favors done, maybe even cover-ups.  Kilpatrick looks more like a ‘wise guy’ or someone the Romney criminal syndicate would see their Detroit black stooge, maybe one that got too greedy for them, cut a little too much into the profits they were racking in from  Detroit contracts.

Derrick Miller, Kilpatrick’s friend and liberal democrat, surprisingly stood on stage and backed Republican Mitt Romney for President.  Ferguson went from Kwame to work for Rakolta.  Even Tony Soave is a Romney backer, Synagro is owned by Carlyle  Group and were also backers of Romney - the list goes on. 

 This should make every Michigan citizen wonder and question who the real criminals are in Detroit and Michigan.

I already know-

Romney advisor in trouble over ethics violations

Another Romney advisor is in trouble for ethics violations. Romney’s campaign is plagued with advisors with ethical business violations – similar to what happened in Romney’s 2008 campaign.

Romney advisor, Peter Schaumber had received sensitive agency information from Terence Flynn, a member of the National Labor Relations Board. Schaumber, a one time labor relations board member, now works for the Romney campaign advising Romney on labor issues. An investigation turned up the ethical violation and the AFL-CIO has asked for Romney to dismiss Schaumber, and requested an investigation by the Justice Department.

This isn’t the only problem with the people Romney has surrounded himself with. Romney’s national financial co-chair John Rakolta, is linked to Detroit’s pay n’ play scandal, as well as Edge Opportunities which funded embattled Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano's trips to Asia. Rakolta co-chairs the national position with G. Scott Romney, Mitt's older brother. It is rumor Rakolta had an affair with Terry Mullins, a democrate turned Romney supporter. Mullins was over the bidding for the Wayne County jail, which Rakolta won to build.

Romney is also linked to corrupt ex-mayor of Detroit Kwame Kilpatrick. Peter Karmanos, a huge Romney supporter and family friend raised money for the embattled ex-mayor, giving Kwame a high paying job at a Karmanos owned business in Texas which handles electronic medical billing, a big home, private schools for Kwame’s children, a boob job for Kwame’s wife and the list goes on. It should be mentioned that G. Scott Romney, Mitt’s brother, serves on the board of Karmanos business and also Scott’s law firm acts as legal counsel to Karmanos.

The links to Kwame doesn’t stop with Karmanos. Debbie Schlussel on her blog during Romney’s 2008 wrote: “But another indictee, Derrick Miller, is the man whose indictment I’ve been waiting for because of his curious, close ties to Mitt Romney. In Michigan Romney campaign appearances and on Michigan’s Primary Election Night in 2008, Kwame’s right-hand man, Miller, was shown prominently on stage, celebrating with the rest of the candidate’s key supporters and family members.”

However, Romney’s advisors are not only riddled with ethical and corruption links. Others are linked to massacres, tortures and abuses.

Another Romney advisor of Mitt’s 2012 campaign has faced criticism for his ties to massacres. According a Mother Jones article, Romney’s top middle east advisor Walid Phares has a jaded and questionable past. In the Jones article title “ Adviser Tied to Militia That Massacred”. The article recounts Phares’s responsibility for brutal massacres during Lebanon’s fifteen year war. Romney's links to brutality do not end with Phares. Romney also has Cofer Black as a top advisor. Black is responsible to bringing in Mitchell and Jesssen into the CIA. Mitchell and Jessen are the two Mormon psychologist responsible for enhanced tortures. ( for more on Mitt Romney’s links to tortures see right side bar on this blog and click on “The Mitt Romney Torture Series”. )

During Mitt’s 2008 run for GOP presidential candidate Robert Lichfield one of Mitt's close adviors was exposed for his abuse of teen-agers in boot camps he ran. Maia Szalavitz wrote an article on Mitt’s links to tough love camps writing: “ The Hill reported “133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney’s Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents. The umbrella group for his organization is the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.”

“The suit alleges that teens were locked in outdoor dog cages, exercised to exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, exposed to extreme temperatures without adequate clothing or water, severely beaten, emotionally brutalized, and sexually abused and humiliated. Some were even made to eat their own vomit.”

Romney and his Chinese Investments

The news buzzed this week with reports of Mitt Romney having investments in Romney's trust with Huawei, a Chinese company. The specific articles running were about Mitt making money off of Huawei. Huawei is involved in making spy cameras. Although some journalist are poo-dooing Romney’s investments, claiming Romney did not know what is in his blind trust; for some reason the New York Times and the Obama administration were able to learn. Romney has ownership in a company and profits Romney is making in helping China spy on dissidents in China, set off a bit of a buzz.

All Gov.( a website) reported, Romney is making money also spying on Americans. Bain purchased Uniview last year. “Uniview Technologies, a Chinese company owned by Bain, has provided surveillance cameras to the government for its Safe Cities program, which allows officials to monitor university campuses, hospitals, mosques and movie theaters.”

However -

Romney's connections to Huawei are not new. Republican Duncan Hunter, during the 2008 GOP run off for president, brings up Romney's China connection! Hunter further states Romney's China connection makes Romney unfit for office.

"The deal gave the Chinese company a minority stake in 3Com, an internet security company.”

“Hunter says that 3Com has contracts with the U.S. Dept. of Defense.”

And four years ago, posters were posting on the You Tube comment section below were shocked the media was not bringing up Romney’s links to Huawei. This was FOUR YEARS ago!!!

The True Mitt Romney; The Record on Taxes and Huawei

“The biggest thing to me is the Huawei/Bain partnership to take over 3Com. I cannot believe the national media is not reporting on this! Could it be that they are saving it to use against him in the general should he be the nominee?”

“According to Business Week, 3Com just scheduled a vote for 2/29 on the deal with Bain/Huawei. Huawei would own just under 16.5% of the new company, and would have the ability to appoint 3 board members. Romney would own the other 83.5%, and could appoint 8 of the 11 board members.” - Posted four years ago in the comments section of the You Tube above by DavidDLPE.

It is impossible for Romney to say he didn't know about his investments. Romney can always stipulate investments are not to be made with Chinese companies with his 'trust'.

Michigan Governor Rick Synder was hand picked by Mitt Romney. Synder also has business links in China. It is not a surprise.

Not to mention Romney's man, John Rakolta. John is a Romney family member and also co-national bundler to Romney's campaign, along with Mitt's brother Scott Romney. Rakolta, is tied to a Detroit "pay to play corruption probe", and gave money to Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, for trips into Asia through Edge Opportunity.

It is not only Michigan, Texas too got leaned on -

Rick Perry is the former Lt. Gov. of Texas under Bush. Is it any wonder why Perry didn't directly attack and was meek with Mitt during the early GOP debates for 2012? Bush along with Karl Rove are strong backers of Mitt Romney. Rove strongly urged John McCain to take Romney on as V.P. after McCain won the GOP nomination to run for President in 2008. The links between Romney and investments in China are decades long. The Romney's are not fessing up to their communist connections.

The Romney family, yes, this means you too Scott Romney, are hiding from the American public their strong links to both China and Russia, where their family has made millions and millions of dollars. How can Romney sit in the Oval Office when he and the Romney family members owe their wealth to foreign powers?

Why be worried about Romney having his hands on surveillance business with a foreign communist powers? Go to the right side bar of this blog and click on "Mitt Romney Terrorist Series" and read through the blog.

Ronna Stern Romney Backs Mitt Romney

In an interview with Ronna at her Florida home, Ronna gushes her support for her former brother-in-law Mitt Romney’s run for president. Ronna and her third husband Bruce Kulp are part time Florida residences. Ronna has hosted political fundraiser parties for Mitt in Florida, like one she hosted for Romney at the posh Sarasota Yacht Club.

Yes, Ronna now lives in Florida, but she hasn’t given up her Michigan roots. Ronna has a second home at 5323 Falkirk Court, Ypsilanti, Michigan where she lives part of the year. Ronna explains, even though she is divorced from Scott Romney, her husband of 25 years, Ronna continues to be best friends with Ann Romney. Ann is Mitt Romney wife.

G. Scott Romney is not to be out-done by Ronna's three marriages. Scott is also on his third marriage. Scott ended a nearly ten year marriage to his second wife Ellen Rogers. Ellen and Scott married hastily after finding out she was pregnant by him. There must have been some HOT weekend's between Scott and his second wife before they married! ;-)

Scott moved out of his Pilgrim Ave. home in Birmingham, Michigan he shared with Rogers, purchasing a home at 164 Kirkwood, Bloomfield Hills, when he filed for divorce from Rogers.

Ann and Mitt Romney are overseer's to Scott's and Ellen's childrens Goldman Sac's trust funds. It is all one big happy family in the Romney Clan. No doubt $$$$$$$$$$$ keeps them together.


Ronna’s sister, Terry STERN Raklota is married to John Rakolta. John co-chairs along with G. Scott Romney the position of National Financial Heads for Mitt Romney’s National GOP Campaign for President of the United States. John is caught up in the Pay to Play scandal under probe in Detroit.


Scott and Ronna’s daughter Ronna Romney McDaniel, the niece to Mittens, attended Romney’s speech with Michigan's governor Synder in Farmington Hills along with McDaniel’s papa G. Scott Romney (video below). Like her Uncle Mitt, McDaniel attended Brigham Young University.

McDaniel lives in Northville, Michigan along with several other Romney relatives. The Northville Patch, an area newspaper, reported several of the Romney relatives live in Northville and their children attend the same school in the area with McDaniel’s children.

Northville is booming with Romney’s, and no doubt the Northville Mormon Church Ward is bulging with members of the Romney Clan. There are some mighty strange folks at the Northville Mormon Church ward. Strange folks indeed! Like my former husband Samuel J. Skousen and his current second wife, Janice Nielsen Skousen attends the same Mormon Church ward!!

Jan stated she was 'called' by the Mormon Church to work with people involved with substance abuse, however she has no qualifications to consul people facing such challenges, in this humble blogger opinion. From statements by Mr. Skousen, Jan rebelled from her Mormon roots and was a party girl before marrying her first husband right out of high school, whom Jan later divorced after having four children. Mr. Skousen said Jan was looking for a Mormon husband second time around after dumping her first husband, the son of a owner of a tool and die company that was going under. Jan got the house free and clear, all the goods in the home and lifetime alimony. Her first husband kept his portion of the business shared by his mom and dad and walked away from all marital assets giving Jan everything. Does this make someone qualified to be over people in the Mormon Church regarding substance abuse?


Jan, last year, threatened my younger son and demanded he was to remain "silence", or he would face further marginalization and ostracism. Warnings were sent by Jan though e-mails to other adult children of mine carrying the same message. Doesn't sound like someone I would choose to help people with the challenges of substance abuse, especially when so much cover-up is going on. What do you think Scott Romney?

Samuel J. Skousen, being the dutiful Mormon Church member in good standing with the Mormon Church, has refused to pay court ordered payments to his first wife (me). Sam has arrogantly brought up the Romney name in court along with his connections to high level Romney insiders - feeling it sanctions his refusal to ignore court order. Sam also put our home into foreclosure (again, against court order), making sure I would be left with no martial assets after Sam Skousen intentionally damaged my home to devalue the property, and after my refusal to sell Jan's relatives my home at a vastly reduced and devalued price. Is this the Christian thing to do? It obviously is the Mormon thing to do!



I get this feeling viewing Romney's speech with Gov. Synder, that Mitt Romney will be enjoying 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 at his beach front home he bought at 311 Dunenere Drive in La Jolla to remodel, and not in the White House. It might be fitting to ask Scott Romney, what do you think Scott?

Hypocritical, Weird, or Whimsical?

UPDATE: “The Register said the new count put Santorum ahead by 34 votes.” Looks as if Romney did not win Iowa.

Romney won Iowa by eight votes. Romney's voting total was less than he received in Iowa in 2008. N.H. has long been sewn up by Romney with Mitt giving contributions heavily in the N.H. GOP. Romney even gave Richard Swett,a democrat from N.H and a fellow Mormon Church member $$$ for Swett's campaign.

Romney long known for his pandering, still isn’t breaking the 25% of GOP support, even with the money flowing into the media and from Romney campaign. It is hard to see how Romney is more electable, since Mitt only walked away in Iowa with eight vote lead.oks like with the new count Romney did not win Iowa.

Mitt is using money to buy the GOP bid for President. Mitt’s campaign filling the air waves with ads somehow justifying Mitt’s run for office and vilifying other candidates, got me thinking of Mitt telling Detroit to go bankrupt. Detroit was to go bankrupt with retiree’s losing their pensions, middle income families losing their jobs. While Mitt was telling Detroit to go bankrupt, Romney failing pizza business was getting a government bailout!

Mitt Romney failing Domino’s pizza got a 12 million dollar bail out from the government. Not only did the government give Dominos a bail out, it also put Mitts pizza in public schools lunch programs giving Mitt a nice guaranteed income! If that isn’t being on the public dole.

Is this another pay for play scheme,like the one Ratkola, Mitt’s national co-chair of finance is wrapped up in Detroit? Did Romney get his pizza bail out through his government connections?

Then news began to leak out about plans for a Domino’s pizza business on the Moon. Yes, on the moon. The Daily Telegraph ran an article on Dominos’ moon project.

“The competition has been taken beyond the stratosphere now, however, with construction firm Maeda Corp coming up with a plan for a dome-shaped concrete Domino's restaurant on the surface of the moon.” "We started thinking about this project last year, although we have not yet determined when the restaurant might open," Tomohide Matsunaga, a spokesman for Domino's, told The Daily Telegraph. The company also expects to be able to offer delivery services.

"In the future, we anticipate there will be many people living on the moon, astronauts who are working there and, in the future, citizens of the moon," he said.

Wow! people living on the moon, what a thought, just like Huntington had said! Well, Huntington kind of said, I should add. Oliver Huntington was a Mormon from the late eight-teen hundreds.

“Oliver B. Huntington in 1881. He said in his journal that Joseph Smith taught, "The inhabitants of the moon are more of a uniform size than the inhabitants of the earth, being about six feet in height. They dress very much like the Quaker style and are quite general in style or the one fashion of dress. They live to be very old; coming generally, near a thousand years" (History of the Life of Oliver B. Huntington, 10, typed copy, University of Utah).

"The Inhabitants of the Moon," an article printed in 1892 said: "As far back as 1837, I know that he [Smith] said the moon was inhabited by men and women the same as this earth, and that they live to a greater age than we do—that they live generally to near the age of a 1000 years. He described the men as averaging near six feet in height, and dressing quite uniformly in something near the Quaker style" (The Young Women's Journal 3:263)”. The Young Women’s journal was a LDS Church publication.

Guess the sun will be next for Domino’s Pizza,at least the company will not have to worry about cooking it’s pizza in ovens.

"So it is with regard to the inhabitants of the sun. Do you think it is inhabited? I rather think it is. Do you think there is any life there? No question of it; it was not made in vain. It was made to give light to those who dwell upon it, and to other planets; and so will this earth when it is celestialized" (Journal of Discourses 13:271)".

It will be no time at all that the former prophet of the Mormon Church’s statement will come true, and Mitt will next begin advertising his pizza with Big Foot munching on a slice. Yes, Big Foot also fits in to the tale.

"The Journal of Mormon History published an investigation into stories suggesting that the Bigfoot creatures are actually Cain from the bible, who murdered Adam and Eve's other son, Abel. The article was written by Matthew Bowman who cited a manuscript dating back to 1919. The manuscript tells of a missionary being attacked by a "huge hairy creature" whom the missionary drove off in the name of Christ! This event brought up a discussion at the time between missionaries concerning another story from famed Mormon missionary, David W. Patten, who had also encountered a Bigfoot in Tennessee. Patten described the Bigfoot as having no clothes, hairy and dark."

"Patten further explained in his story from 1835, that the Bigfoot wanders the Earth, has no home, is very miserable, unable to die, and seeks the souls of lost men. In Patten's story, he says he rebuked the beast in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and told him to leave. So, the Bigfoot departed."

Eight votes Mitt? One thing for sure if Mitt does get into the White House we are all in for a ride!

407 East Fort Street and Déjà vu

Mitt Romney's long time family insider and co-chair of Romney’s 2012 Finance committee, John Rakolta is again making news, showing up in photos linked to Detroit corruption. John Rakolta along with G. Scott Romney are Mitt’s national financial heads. “Edge Opportunities”, a company funding trips for embattled Wayne County commissioner Bob Ficano, is linked to John Rakolta. "Edge Opportunities" is located at 407 East Fort Street, Detroit, Michigan. (a few blocks from Scott Romney’s law office. Ok, it is a bit of a brisk walk away and one I am sure Scott Romney has taken several times!)

Is this Déjà vu or what? It sure is! 407 East Fort Street must be a regular Romney family hang out !!!!

Who's Involved with Bob Ficano's PAC?: MyFoxDETROIT.com

One can almost see Scott crawling under a desk.

Step by Step, Inch by Inch

Is a scandal about to break on Romney Corruption?

Mitt Romney’s long time, kind of in-law, John Rakolta* is entangled in the mind-boggling corruption beginning to surface in Detroit. This newspaper banner caught my eye.

“Severance-gate: Following Turkia Mullin's money leads to John Rakolta and other county contractors” by By Jeff T. Wattrick at MLive.com

“As more is revealed about former Wayne County economic development director Turkia Mullin's compensation arrangement, the more I'm reminded of " All The President's Men ." Not just for the obvious reasons, but also for the scene in which Robert Redford's Bob Woodward explains what he and Bernstein uncovered about Don Segretti's dirty tricks”

In 2004 Turkia Mullin supports Ed McNamara's in his race for President of the United States and gives Democratic McNamara $500. Mullin in 2008 switches party from Democratic and gives Republican Mitt Romney $2,500. What’s going on Romneys? What's going on Mitt? What's going on Scott?

Not only that, did Turkia former hubby feel Mullin has been having an affair with John Rakolta? Rakolta is building the new jail in Wayne County. Mullin and John Rakolta were kind of co-bosses on the project, before Mullin went on to Detroit Metro Airport.

Rakolta is, as he always has been, a heavy backer of Mitt Romney – Oh, yes and they are also all great friends with DAVID T. FISCHER. It is one happy family in Detroit with the Romney mover and shakers pulling strings behind the scenes.

On Jun 9, 2011 Lauren Rakolta joined Mitt Romney's campaign as finance director in the state. The daughter of John Rakolta is head of Detroit-based construction firm linked to Detroit corruption. Lauren has also been the head of the Oakland County, Michigan GOP.

“Dirty Tricks”? A Romney specialty. Romney corruption would make Nixon’s eyes curl.

Is Scott Romney beginning to feel uncomfortable? Silly man, he should.

FOX 2's Charlie LeDuff Digs into Turkia Mullin's Past: MyFoxDETROIT.com

The real-estate deal that went down in Macomb County sounds a lot like the real-estate deal attempted in Livingston County between Judge Suzanne Geddis, Gary McCririe who is Geddis brother in law, Ed Literski, David Morris, Richard Trost and a few others -- on a home in Brighton. The Livingston County grape-vine said someone in the 'county wanted the Skousen home", but didn't want to pay the value price... who is that someone?
