Swilley was the political director for the John Edwards campaign in Missouri in 2004.  He worked in depth with Jan Schakowsky in Illinois, taking charge of coordinating six campaign volunteers and organizing a 2500 person volunteer army to boost vote totals.  His LinkedIn profile is sparse, but it tells us he works or worked for The Haymarket Group as a senior associate.  The Haymarket Group is a PR firm with a heavy interest in grassroots campaigns.

The Haymarket Group is Chicago’s premier public affairs consulting firm. Formed in 1987, it is an organization of professionals skilled and experienced in government, politics, the media, the law, community organizing, public relations and mediation

The Haymarket Group was heavily involved with Democrats and Democratic causes, and boasts the likes of Jay Doherty, a close friend of the Kennedy family. It's safe to say they're connected to big names in Chicago politics.  Swilley worked for them in 2005 as a senior associate, but we don't know how long he stayed.  Must have been quite the place to build your contacts.  In 2007, Swilley created a committee to bring the Olympics to Chicago called Citizens for 2016.  Wasn't that a big push for the Obamas? I seem to remember something about commercial real estate deals and a Chicago Olympics.

Swilley's work with Scott Cohen was as a clean-up artist.  Cohen had just won the primary for IL lieutenant governor, when news broke he had held a knife to the neck of his prostitute girlfriend.  Swilley was the spokesman for Cohen at the time, running his Springfield office.

John Edwards and Scott Cohen?  Man - talk about an unlucky resume.  So after Cohen implodes, what does Swilley do? He starts up the Chicago chapter of the Coffee Party USA (CPUSA - an unfortunate use of initials).  That would be bad enough by itself - but there's something to this story that set off alarm bells.

Schakowsky? This guy worked for Schakowsky?  As in the representative whose husband wrote the Democrat's healthcare strategy in prison?  And Swilley has Missouri political connections?

• The operative, an African-American man, arrived on American Airlines flight 401
• The operative boarded flight AA401 in Washington, DC
• He wore all black—sweatshirt, sweats—and a fraternity ball cap bearing Greek letters
• He is working with Valerie Jarrett, the committed communist and Obama’s “brain”

The operative liked to talk about how connected he was.  He was described by multiple people as "arrogant and angry," and dropped names including E.J. Dionne, Biden's staff, Valerie Jarrett, and folks at CNN.  He had a lot to say about Jimmy Carter's racism comments, sneering that CNN didn't get it was a third level racism.

And then he started talking about an event in St Louis.  He mentioned thousands of people.  And he specifically said he had a method to "deal with the Tea Partiers."

At the time, we sent a photographer to the HCAN rally to catch photos of an organizer, but we hit a dead end.  We found another man at the HCAN rallies, but that man was older and wore a bowtie.  The one we were looking for was younger, more muscular, and dressed well.  Could it be Baxter Swilley was the loudmouth who kept bragging on himself on the plane?  Someone who was connected to healthcare, and had a union background?

Let's dig into this resume some more.  Citizens for 2016, the Olympic Committee, had an address, 54 West Hubbard, suite 200, in Chicago.  Doing a little sleuthing, I turned up a number of hits that all came from campaign finance records. That address held the names of several "Citizens for [insert politician]" groups that each received $250-$500 from SEIU local 880 (The SEIU chapter that served as a money operation for ACORN).  In addition, there were a number of contributions that came from the No 1 International Bricklayers and Craft Workers PAC to the same address, with the same small amounts donated. Whoever controlled that address was funneling "walking around" political money to a community organizer who would then turn around and pay staff to "Get out the Vote."  I still need to cross reference this with Illinois campaign committees to get the full picture, but it's clear that Citizens for 2016 made use of or was run by the same people associated with political campaigns in Chicago. Let's connect the dots here.  We know that Valerie Jarrett was a big player in the attempt to bring the Olympics to Chicago.  And the Olympics committee visited Rogers Park in its selection process.  RogersPark.com was featured in the video interviewing Swilley, and it's where he lives. 

The guy on the plane bragged about his close connection to Valerie Jarrett.  He was in town to organize an event of thousands, and had a plan to deal with the "Tea Partiers."  Two weeks later, a series of HCAN rallies took place across the country at insurance companies, attempting to demonize them as holding up healthcare with lobbyist money.  With Swilley's connections to Schakowsky, we should be able to ask if Robert Creamer's plan to pass healthcare, which included demonization of the health insurance companies, included sending trusted operatives from Chicago to oversee events.  

Can we prove it?  Not yet, but the story just broke.  As bloggers start to swarm around Baxter Swilley, asking questions about his background, his travel, his employment, and his connections with Valerie Jarrett and Robert Creamer, we might find ourselves with a nice little story on how the Coffee Party is generating so much media attention with so few numbers.  More to come...

Update: Baxter Swilley is Facebook Friends with Robert Creamer, the husband of House Representative Jan Schakowsky.  In 2001, Swilley was hired by Schakowsky to run the Illinois Primary campaigns, and it's likely he met Robert Creamer there, who headed the Strategic Campaign Group that consulted with Rod Blagojevich.

Robert Creamer, as we pointed out earlier,  developed the campaign strategy to pass a giant healthcare takeover.

If Swilley is starting a coffee party in Chicago, we need to dig heavily into his background and draw the connections between a group set up one week before the final push to put the bill on Obama's desk.

This plan, as Creamer laid out, is designed to breach the gates of government and prepare the way for a flood of progressive legislation that will spread the wealth and lead to progressive governments around the world. 

Creamer’s broader aim, as laid out in his book, is the “democratization of wealth” in America and “progressive control of governments around the world.” As he recently wrote on his blog at the Huffington Post: “If we succeed in winning health insurance reform we will have breached the gates of the status quo. We will demonstrate that fundamental change is possible. Into that breach will flow a wave of progressive change.”

The progressives see this bill as the lynchpin to transform the world. This is why they are stopping at nothing to pass the bill.  And it shows us that once again, this bill has nothing to do with reform, and everything to do with political power and control.

If you link, please someone make the title Real Creamer for Fake Coffee Parties.

What are we going to do about it?

One man, an escapee from the Soviet Union, has a suggestion:

My name is Leon Weinstein. I immigrated to the US from the former Soviet Union. I already experienced the Universal Healthcare, equality in housing and distribution of wealth the socialist style. I remember chronic deficit of every imaginable product, long lines for services, obnoxious salespeople (yes, you probably can’t even imagine that) and “communal apartments” where in a 4-bedroom flat lived four families using one bath, kitchen and shower.

It all started innocently. Our grandparents were told that everyone deserves equal healthcare. They agreed. Then that each and every person has a right to work. They agreed. Then that we can’t allow Soviet citizens to go to bed hungry. They agreed. Then that there are some people who receive much more than they needed, and others who had nothing. At that point no one asked them if they are erady to share . The government was already not asking but informing and ordering. The commissars (you call them “tsars”) took over and the Politburo began to channel their commands through them. Our grandparents gave in step by step, inch by inch. When they were told that they shall be merciful and since they were not doing enough voluntarily the government will take their money and confiscate their property and will give it to those in need, they already didn’t have any means of resisting.

We, the People in the USSR were put in prisons for even saying something against the government, even if we would whisper it into our friends’ ears in our own kitchens. In the USSR you never knew who among your friends working for the secret police. He or she was probably doing it because they were saving their own skin or their children, or sometimes because they liked to be able to hurt others.

The Universal Healthcare in the US is one of the steps that can lead to the creation of the United Socialist States of America. It should be stopped. It should be stopped now and by you and me. We, the productive citizens of America will be outnumbered by those who get freebies from the government when the comprehensive healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform, comprehensive energy reform, comprehensive job reform and other comprehensive moves to fundamentally change America will be accomplished. I do not want to be forced to stand on the street with my right hand up yelling “Hail to Obama!” Actually I do not want to be forced to do anything. America was the only country in the world where individual was more important than the group. America was the only country where you were able to pursue your own happiness and be free to make your own decisions. WAS.

If I worked all my life and saved money for a surgery my mother needs, I do not want the government to tell me that she is not a productive citizen anymore and the money will be used to perform surgery on a young and productive person. I understand that for the country it is better if the young guy will get the treatment. But it is my mom we are talking about!

If you want the government to decide who will be treated with your money, be happy, Obama is your guy. If you want to decide who will get your monies worth of medicine and help, then I propose to go on the “Atlas Shrugged” strike.

The White House says that they want to have the final vote on the healthcare on March 18. They hope Stupak and others will sell their souls for money and will allow taxpayers funded abortions in exchange for personal rewards. They probably know something about members of the US congress that we hoped was not true.

What if all productive citizens of this country will go on strike on April 30, day before the May Day? We the Producers of everything in America will stop for one day what we are doing. We will not open our stores, will not provide services (except emergency), will not do, produce, act, serve, invent, fly… will stay for one day at home and do what we please.

What do you think about it? Is it a strike? Are you with me? Ayn Rand would be proud of us. Lenin, Mao, Mussolini, Stalin, FDR, Obama, Carter, Castro, Shaves and others would not.

Hail to America! Hail to the freest country in the world!

Do we have the courage to shut down America for 24 hours? No work, no school, no telephone, no internet, no driving.

Do we know the evils of communism more deeply than Leon?

It seems that OFA got lazy on the next OFA email because it covers Day 3-5. It's called "the voice of the People". Or as it really should be called " How to make it appear that the Voice of the people are behind Health Care Reform".

OFA is going to organize Phone Banks to call Voters to get them to call their Representatives to support Health Care reform. It appears that the limited number of OFA members calling Congress on Day 2 was not enough to make a dent in the fears of some of those wavering in Congress. So they need to bug people like you to call Congress in order to make it appear more people support the Bill than there really exist. Here is some of the Email:

"The Final March for Reform is going strong -- yesterday, OFA supporters made the phones ring off the hook in Congressional offices on Capitol Hill and across the country. But for every member of Congress, there are eight anti-reform lobbyists swarming Capitol Hill -- and the upcoming vote is still too close to call.

So in these crucial, final days, we must make sure the voices of constituents break through the lobbyist attacks. And here's the plan to make it happen:

As the next step in the Final March for Reform, OFA supporters like you will be gathering at volunteer phone banks across the country. We'll be calling supportive voters in critical districts nationwide, asking them to reach out to their representatives and express their strong support for reform. A local OFA organizer will be on hand at every event, and no experience is required."

Even the Democratic Socialist group that Obama belonged to called the "New Party", now known as the Working Families Party, wants their members to call Congress. Here is some of their Email:

"51% -- that's the White House's odds that Congress will pass health care reform. It couldn't be closer.

Next week's House of Representatives vote could come down to a single Member of Congress -- and according to a news report yesterday, New York Democrat Scott Murphy is one of the 16 undecided Members who "matter most."1

The Working Families Party is meeting with Murphy this Sunday to push him to vote "yes." We want as many New Yorkers as possible standing with us. Can you sign our petition telling Scott Murphy we need his vote on health care reform?

http://action.workingfamiliesparty.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=1371&tag=hcmurph2

We originally set a goal of gathering 4,000 signatures to present to Murphy on Sunday -- but we blew through that number in just 24 hours, so we're raising the bar.

Help us get 10,000 New Yorkers telling Congressman Murphy to vote "yes" on health care reform. If you sign the petition, you'll be be the first to find out what Murphy tells us when we ask him about his health care vote this Sunday.

Will you take a moment to sign and share this with everyone you know?"

If that isn't bad enough, the Communist Party USA is supporting the push for the passing of Health Care Reform. On their website the CPUSA has a link to Move on.org's "Virtual March for passing Health Care Reform". If you sign up for the virtual march Move on will send faxes, in your name, to your Representatives in congress and urge them to pass Health Care reform.

Here is the link to the CPUSA website. Go to the tab marked "Take Action":

http://cpusa.org/

So as you can see, all of the Lefty Progressives groups from the OFA to the Communist Party USA want Congress to pass the President's Health Care Reform Bill.

If the Communist support this Bill, then you know we don't want Any version of this bill past.

So call your Representatives to makes sure they know that if they pass this Bill, they will have sealed their Fate come next election.

The only reason that the President's Bill has not yet passed is because the American People overwhelmingly don't want it...

Lets make sure that Congress doesn't forget that Fact.
