Some serious allegations of judicial misconduct have been launched against several members of the judiciary in Cook County, Illinois. These allegations involve concerns that some sitting judges in this notoriously corrupt county may, in fact, be receiving bribes in order to throw cases.
When Cook County is called "notoriously corrupt," Operation Greylord comes to mind. In the 1980s, the FBI indicted over 90 judges in Cook County on corruption charges. Most of these were eventually convicted.
According to an attorney who was practicing law in Cook County during Operation Greylord, Ken Ditkowsky, the decisión to stop the arrests was made due to the perception that if the Operation continued, there wouldn’t be any judges left unindicted in Cook County.
The recent allegations concerning bribe taking by sitting Cook County judges focuses in on their mortgages as a vehicle for bribes. The mechanism is stunningly simple—Judge X takes out a loan and Mr. Y pays it back. The true payer on the loan is therefore obscured from public oversight and there is no messy aftermath, such as when Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was caught red-handed receiving a large envelope stuffed with cash.
Judge Shauna Boliker and Judge Regina Mescall went under the microscope concerning their patently ilegal actions directed at one Dean Sallas. Their loan histories were scrutinized and reported here: I WANTS YOUR HOUSE, I WANTS YOUR WIFE, I WANTS YOUR CAR, I WANTS YOUR LIFE - Activist Post and here: Chicago Judge Unleashes Scathing Attack on Activist Post Reporter - Activist Post
Both searches were done using the spouse's name, as searching with the judge's name had pulled up blanks.
It now appears that Cook County Recorder -- or whomever is in charge of archiving these documents online -- has pulled the records from public oversight.
Here is a screenshot from 11:30 am on February 16th concerning the property records, detailed in the first article on Boliker, and searched using her husband's name -- David M. Andrews. No "David M. Andrews" appeared in the search.
At the same time, a search was also done for "Regina Mescall" and her husband, "Peter M. Kramer." Two screenshots showing that neither search now produced any hits are archived here.
In an effort to be thorough, a final search for "Shauna Boliker" was executed at noon, Central Time, again on February 16, 2023. As noted in the screenshot below, some, but not all, of the Boliker/Andrews property records, previously unavailable doing a search using her name, are now back up online.
Some, but not all. Comparing this screenshot to the list provided in the article on Boliker indicates that this is a partial rendition of her previously searched and reported records.
Possibly Operation Greylord should have dug deeper into the protection racket afforded these judges.
Other researchers who are relying on the integrity of internet searches and records should take heed.
Dean Sallas, who is the subject of the cases involving Judges Boliker and Mescall, was rendered homeless largely through the actions of these Cook County judges. At last report, the former millionaire, age 84, was evicted and living in his car in sub-freezing weather in Skokie, Illinois.

Someone must save us, from our saviors!
The same is happening here in Pakistan, we are going crazy thinking that how long will it be like this and will this system fail. Even here, those who are judges take money and make decisions by these people. who are not entitled to this decision at all. The judge knows that this person is a sinner, but still they take money and give a decision in favor of this person, because till today there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, even if it is a person's conscience. Something else now. The politicians here are very powerful, if someone gives a decision against him, They also transfer the judge to another place. We pray that there is a system that will put an end to all these things and that the system of truth will continue.
We can especially relate the transfer of bad judges (and bad police) here in the U.S. Thank you again for your perspective.
Until the police of any country is correct, nothing can happen in this country, the police will be correct even if the rulers sitting above them are correct. Here, if the police stop someone, they take some money and let them go.
That's one way to do it :-)
How's way.
This is a serious concern, my country has also a corrupt judicial system and sadly nothing can be done against them as they are powerful and have influences.
The FBI is a criminal organization. If I had to speculate, I would suggest that Operation Greylord wasn't undertaken to stop crimes, but rather competition by other criminals in the market the FBI and the criminal organization it supports intended to monopolize.
When telling the truth is a crime, the law is a crime. The government is the criminal. Since government is ruled by powers behind the throne, the government is merely the patsy.
It is not ever going to be possible to secure government from corruption, because the fundamental essence of government is that individuals that alone are inherently sovereign by virtue of their natural existence are not sovereign, but are subject to rulers. No ruler can will you to act. It is a false supposition at it's fundamental base, and cannot be made just.
The solution to injustice is justice. The solution to the never ending stream of corruption isn't to use the corrupted mechanisms the corrupt use to profit from crimes to prosecute them. There is nothing in that system that makes that possible.
The solution to a corrupt system is outside that system. Decentralization of the means of production enables us to seize means of production suitable to our personal circumstances, and develop alternatives to participation in centralized industrial manufacturing and production that delivers wealth to parasites that use that wealth to increase their wealth and power by increasing the corruption that enables their parasitism.
Production you consume leaves no opportunity to parasites. Decentralization is the solution to centralization.
Thanks!
Beautifully said once again, couldn't agree more!
Corruption has become a common problem of the whole world today and corruption is a poison that hollows out your country from within. The judicial system of our country has also been destroyed, people do not get justice here. No one can say anything to a rich person who does injustice and commits crimes, and on the other hand, if a poor person commits even a small crime, his punishment is increased by putting false cases on him. Until the justice is equal for the rich and the poor in our country, our country cannot progress.
True. This was bascially addressed (from a U.S. point of view) in this article: https://www.activistpost.com/2023/02/arbitrary-government-is-tyranny.html
Thank you for commenting!
Yes brother I know but I had shared my country condition as well
