Meet Valerie Jarrett daughter Laura’s computer scandal tinged father-in-law

For
the record: Valerie’ Jarrett’s daughter Laura’s father-in-law Canadian
Liberal politician Bas Balkissoon is not (thank God!) Canada’s Prime
Minister. Nor, as some news
outlets are indicating, is he a MP. (Member of Parliament).
Balkissoon—one of many Canadian Liberals with deep ties to the Obama
administration—is a minor player MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament )
at Ontario’s Queen’s Park, irreverently known to the plebes as the
‘Pink Palace’.

Wow, what a coincidence!
Just
as key Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett’s fingerprints are all over
the Obama administration, the Obama administration’s fingerprints are
all over the Province of Ontario. And last time we checked, Ontario was still a duly recognized province in Canada.
If Obama’s presence by proxy in Ontario doesn’t give Canadians who believe in sovereignty the creeps, nothing will.

“The
Balkissoon-Jarrett marriage is one of several links between Premier
Dalton McGuinty’s Liberals and Obama. From 2000 until 2002, David
Axelrod, another key adviser to the president, was a paid McGuinty
strategist. (Toronto Star, June 20, 2012).
“As well, Toronto Liberal
Jean-Michel Picher, who helped the premier in the run-up to last year’s
provincial election, was an early Obama insider who worked on the
then-Illinois senator’s historic presidential primary campaign in 2007
and 2008.”
And that’s just the Obama links in the Liberal Ontario government.
Obama’s former financial advisor Larry Summers was involved in the 2011 failed federal prime minister campaign of Liberal Michael Ignatieff.
Present day Liberal Leader
Justin Trudeau who opposes Prime Minister Stephen Harper in the next
federal election uses the same software as the Obama team in his generic
e-mails to ‘Friend’, including the incessant “just $5 more” requests.
Some Canadians can see the White House from their house.
Liberal politicians are up-to-their-Jarretts in Canada but in light of
ongoing computer scandals, their version of ‘joined at the hip’ would
be better described as ‘joined at the data link’.
Yet, If it hadn’t been for the
ongoing epic failure of healthcare.guv—ObamaCare—we may have missed the
long road of computer scandals that seems to now serve as the
government’s way to feed mega money to their friends and supporters.
Indeed, the ObamaCare website
failure may unwittingly end up blowing the whistle on one of the biggest
government slush fund set ups in latter day history because the runaway
costs on healthcare.gov uncovers a long trajectory of failed
multi-million dollar government websites that point to coincidences way
too many.
CGI, the Canadian company that launched healthcare.gov, is peopled
with friends of the Obamas, including Michelle Obama’s Princeton school
chum, Toni Townes-Whitley. CGI is not just the company behind the
healthcare.gov epic fail. CGI is also the company behind the
$2.7-billion failed, Liberal-launched Canadian Gun Registry that was so
plagued with corruption and mismanagement it brought on an investigation
by Canadian Auditor General Sheila Fraser.
Government website glitches can
make for perfect stall tactics allowing timelines for election-bound
politicians to get past elections like the upcoming 2014 midterms.
Healthcare.gov—Jeff
Zeints-guaranteed as “good to go” by the end of November 2013—can rely
on a company that could have already proven itself “too big to not
fail”.
Obama’s biggest alibi over the
past five years has been he “didn’t know”. As of this morning it was
revealed Obama didn’t know America was spying on 35 world leaders. What
goes on in NSA must stay in the NSA.
But how could Obama really know that the Canadian gun registry database
originated with CGI and that because of long delays and cost overruns
on a diabetic registry, CGI’s contract was cancelled by the Ontario
Liberal Government in 2012.?
As folk might suspect by now,
CIA’s documented failures of the past are just the openers on the tawdry
tale of big government slush funding via nosediving computer contracts
that cost taxpayers unretrievable millions of dollars.
Let’s go back to computer slush funds games in 2003.Why?
Because Laura Jarrett’s father-in-law Bas Balkissoon, Jarrett’s daughter Laura Jarrett was involved in the City of Toronto’s MFP computer leasing scandal that skyrocketed from $43 million to more than $100 million, as the scandal’s self-professed ‘whistleblower’.
None of the $100 million from the public purse or the $15 million judicial inquiry
called by then mayoral candidate Councillor David Miller into the MFP
scandal was ever recovered—and to this day, no one has ever been
brought to justice.
Miller did go on to be Toronto
mayor for two terms. Our hero Coun. Bas Balkissoon, left his council
seat—mid-term—to run for the Ontario LIberals in the 2005 by-election:
“In the Liberal nomination prior to the by-election, the Party chose to
use a clause in its constitution that declared other candidates invalid,
effectively handing the nomination to Balkissoon.” (Wikipedia).
As a whistleblower on his way to a ready-made future, Balkissoon
blamed staff and not councillors for the burgeoning MFP computer
scandal.
In a February 2003 interview
with Toronto Free Press (TFP), the forerunner to Canada Free Press
(CFP), Balkissoon, gave fellow councillors involved in the computer
scandal a pass, instead blaming “senior staff”. (TFP, Feb. 10, 2003).
“It was senior staff. Council
was truly unaware. Council sets policy. It cannot micro-manage and
cannot be expected to micro-manage the business of the city,” Balkissoon
said.
While Balkissoon
acknowledged the $15 million inquiry into the MFP computer scandal’s
potential for publicity for municipal politicians in an election year,
he supported Mayor David Miller’s motion to extend the inquiry
“wholeheartedly”.
“The media is making him (Miller) the hero,” he said.
“Balkissoon
also credited the whistle blowing of TFP columnist and former City
Treasury employee Jeff Goodall for early suspicion on the MFP computer
lease scandal.
“Goodall, who wrote a letter to
city CFO Wanda Liczyk complaining that dozens of stale-dated cheques in
amounts of up to one million dollars were being ignored, was fired
after writing about the cheques in a TFP column.
“In retrospect, Jeff’s complaints did raise a red flag with me,” said Balkissoon.
We move ahead to the most security-protected insider wedding of the century.
“At
the 290-guest wedding of his son Tony to Valerie Jarrett’s daughter
Laura, Bas Balkissoon was seen in deep conversation with Barack Obama
and Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder. (Toronto Star).
The Star ended its story by emphasizing that “Balkissoon is no slouch at politics”.
“Prior
to his coming to Queen’s Park in a 2005 by-election he was a prominent
Toronto councillor and was credited for blowing the whistle and exposing
the MFP computer-leasing scandal”.
Make that the $115-million
computer-leasing scandal and inquiry that covered for his Liberal
councillor colleagues by blaming staff and one that never retrieved a
penny for Toronto taxpayers.
Yes,
Laura Jarrett’s father-in-law did well for himself. When you Google
his picture, you will find Barack Obama’s in the middle.
