Former Elgin Cop Charged with Planting Evidence at Robbery Crime Scene
Updated: Wednesday, 11 May 2011, 8:39 AM CDT
Published : Wednesday, 11 May 2011, 8:39 AM CDT

Sun-Times Media Wire

Elgin, Ill. - A former northwest suburban police officer has been charged with placing evidence at a robbery crime scene, the Courier-News is reporting.

Michael Sullivan, 53, of Sycamore, a nearly 10-year veteran of the Elgin police force, is alleged to have placed evidence in the area of a recent robbery.

Sullivan was indicted Tuesday by a Kane County grand jury on three counts of official misconduct, each a Class 3 felony, and two counts of obstruction of justice, each a Class 4 felony.

Sullivan was placed on administrative leave May 1 after he came forward with details about his conduct. He resigned two days later.

“Michael Sullivan’s actions are inexcusable,” Chief Jeff Swoboda said in a release. “They discredit the exceptional work of this department and this community, and will not be tolerated.”

Swoboda said the department is making a review of all cases involving Sullivan, but because Sullivan came forward with the information, officials believe it is an isolated incident.

Associate Judge James Hallock signed a warrant for Sullivan’s arrest and set bond at $2,500 cash. Arrangements are being made for Sullivan to surrender, after which his first court appearance will be set.

If convicted of the most serious charges, Sullivan faces up to five years in prison, according to the release.

“This incident is wholly inconsistent with the well-deserved reputation for good work the Elgin police department earns every day,” Swoboda said. “An officer’s word can put people in prison. But when there is doubt about that word, it casts doubt on an entire department...”[1]





A Betrayal of trust. The five felony charges against Michael Sullivan are serious. He betrayed the people of the City of Elgin, the Elgin Police Department, his fellow officers, and many others. This is not an isolated incidence and it should be noted that this behavior of betrayal occurred long before he moved to the Community of Sycamore. As a married man with children while living in Elgin he had a long term marital affair with a married woman with children. This was at the same time he was the U-46 School Liaison Officer at the very school that the children of the woman that he was having an affair with attended. Michael Sullivan was also a Detective with the Elgin Police Department and Elgin ROPE officer. More to come. Jeffery Lee Goodlove

Flotilla 2: NY Times Sinks the Truth

May 15, 2011 16:09 by Simon Plosker

According to a New York Times report, a second flotilla of vessels led by the Turkish Mavi Marmara is due to sail for Gaza within the next few months. Last time, the real motives and agenda of those involved in the flotilla only became clear after Israeli commandos were attacked by extremists brandishing weapons.

Last time, the flotilla organizers were allowed to sell a false narrative of so-called “peace activists” delivering humanitarian aid to Gazans suffering a humanitarian crisis as a result of an Israeli blockade.

This time, there is no excuse for the media not to question the agenda behind a second flotilla and to include the relevant context. The New York Times, however, has published such a shoddy piece of journalism that it is difficult to believe how such an article was allowed in the newspaper of record.

Where is the context?

According to the NY Times:

Almost a year ago, Israeli naval commandos stormed a previous flotilla sailing to Gaza, killing nine pro-Palestinian activists on the Mavi Marmara, one of six ships in the fleet.

Only this January, The Turkel Commisssion of inquiry into the events surrounding the May 31, 2010 Gaza flotilla concluded that Israeli soldiers only took action in self-defense after being violently attacked by the ship’s passengers and their actions complied with international law.

Having adopted the simple narrative over the events of May 2010, the article continues by describing the owners of the Mavi Marmara as the “Humanitarian Relief Foundation“, a “Turkish nongovernmental organization“.

Why does the NY Times use such a benign description, particularly when the organization is best known by its acronym the IHH, which the article does not refer to? It is no secret that the IHH has a radical Islamic anti-Western orientation, supports radical Islamic networks, including Hamas, and at least in the past, even global jihad elements.

Having interviewed someone from the IHH, did Susanne Gusten, the NY Times journalist not consider this background information on the IHH to be relevant to the story?

Where is the Israeli view?

Nowhere in the article are any Israelis interviewed by Gusten. Instead, for a counter-view, she relies heavily on a Turkish academic. However, this only puts the framework of the story within a solely Turkish context. Why did she not interview an Israeli government or military representative or academic?

This is particularly unprofessional given that Gusten presents the flotilla as a purely bilateral issue between Turkey and Israel. In fact, Israel has been in constant contact with many other states whose citizens intend to sail with the latest flotilla. Members of the US Congress have urged Turkey to prevent the flotilla. France has warned its citizens not to join the flotilla, which has also come in for criticism from Members of the European Parliament as well as EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton who said: “I don’t consider a flotilla to be the right response.”

Gusten also quotes a UN Human Rights Council report on the flotilla, which criticizes Israel. This is the same UNHRC that includes such pillars of virtue and human rights as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan, China, Qatar, Russia and, until recently Libya. Why then is this discredited UN organ deemed more credible than the detailed results of Israel’s Turkel Commission?

HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams said the New York Times article failed the test of proper journalism. “The ABC’s of good journalism demand equal reference and citations for all sides of any story,” he said. “In the process, the New York Times is fueling a false narrative that cheapens the concept of true humanitarian aid.”

A blatant provocation

Those behind the flotilla claim that it is transporting humanitarian aid to Gaza. However, even the deputy director of the Red Cross in Gaza has stated that “there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” adding: “If you go to the supermarket, there are products. There are restaurants and a nice beach.”

Life in Gaza is by no means easy. However, Gazans are certainly not starving and Israel constantly facilitates thousands of tonnes of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

There is no other reason for this latest flotilla other than to provoke yet another confrontation with Israel and the IDF with the express intent of creating similar headlines and political problems for Israel as the first Mavi Marmara flotilla provided.

Why should Israel prevent the flotilla from reaching Gaza unchecked?

Over the past decade, there have been numerous attempts to smuggle weaponry by sea to terrorists groups in Gaza. As recently as March 15, 2011, the Israeli Navy seized an Iranian arms shipment bound for Gazan terror groups. On board the Victoria were some 50 tonnes of weapons. Missiles of increasing range continue to be fired against Israeli cities while, in April, Hamas fired an anti-tank missile at a school bus, killing a 16 year old Israeli.

Given this, it is obvious why Israel considers it vital to check the cargo of any vessels heading for Gaza – something it is entitled to do under international law. Israel has also made it clear that it is fully prepared to transfer humanitarian aid once it has undergone security checks.

The New York Times report on the latest flotilla is a shoddy piece of journalism, lacking in vital context, missing any Israeli comment and adopting the false narrative provided by anti-Israel activists well versed in manipulating the media for their cause.

Please send your considered comments to the New York Times and keep an eye out for any further coverage in the media that fails to present the reality behind the latest flotilla – letters@nytimes.com. Remember – letters for publication should be no longer than 150 words and must include the writer’s address and phone numbers.





This Day…

•

• May 20, 325 CE: To complete his grand plan of unification, Constantine convened a conference in ancient Nicea, now the Turkish town of Iznik, to settle the matter. What came to be known as the Council of Nicea drew around 250 bishops, mostly from the eastern provinces. With Constantine presiding, Christianity was consecrated as the official religion of the Roman Empire.[2] Among other things, the Council dealt with the issue of setting the date for Easter. Going forward, Easter would never again be celebrated on the same day as the first day of Pesach.[3]



• Official Doctrine

•

• We believe in one God,

• The Father Almighty,

• Maker of all things, visible and invisible,

• And in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

• The Son of God,

• The only –begotten of the Father,

• That is, of the substance (ousia) of the Father,

• God from God,

• Light from light,

• True BGod from true God,

• Begotten not made,

• On one substance (homoousion) with the Father,

• Through whom all things were made,

• Those things that are in heafven and

• Those things that are one earth,

• Who for us men and for our salvation

• Came down and was made man,

• Suffered,

• Rose again on the third day, ascended into the heavens and will com to jmudge the living and the dead And we believe in the Holy Spirit.

•

• This differs from the doctrinal manifesto usually known as the Nicene Creed, which was actually composed at the Council of Constantinople.[4]



•

• 325

• Most fateful for Jews, the council dramatically inflated the significance of the crucifixion and reinforced Christian claims for Jesus as the Son of God. The new orthodoxy proved catastrophic for Jews. Although Judaism was not declared a “prohibited sect,” fervent Jews came to be seen as backward and superstitious and were occasionally targeted for their perceived role in Jesus’ killing. The Hebrew Bible was rechristened the “Old Testament.” Subsequent councils forbade Christians from celebrating Passover, although many ignored the edict at first. The alternative Christian celebration of Jesus’ resurrection was later named Easter after the Teutonic pagan goddess of the rising light of day and the spring. Christians were banned from observing the Jewish Sabbath, as Sunday became the Christian day of prayer. [5]



• 325

• First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea. The Christian Church separates the calculation of the date of Easter from the Jewish Passover: “It was…declared improper to follow the custom of the Jews in the celebration of this holy festival, because, their hands having been stained with crime, the minds of these wretched men are necessarily blinded...Let us, then, have nothing in common with the Jews, who are our adversaries…avoiding all contact with that evil way….who, after having compassed the death of the Lord, being out of their minds, are guided not by sound reason, but by an unrestrained passion, wherever their innate madness carries them…. A people so utterly depraved. … Therefore, this irregularity must be corrected, in order that we may no more have anything in common with those parricides and the murderers of our Lord. …no single point in common with the perjury of the Jews.[6]

•

• 326

• Constantine’s wife Fausta, questions the integrity of his son Crispis. Crispis was Constantines eldest son from an earlier marriage. There was a rivalry with Crispis and his half brothers of Fausta and Constantine. Fausta brings shocking news that Crispis has tried to seduce her. Imprisoned in Pola, modern day Croatia, Crispis is killed even though Helena convinces Constantine that it is a hoax. Fausta is also killed. [7]



May 20, 526: An earthquake, with an epicenter in Syria that reportedly killed 300,000 people, is felt throughout much of the Near East including at least two towns now located in the modern state of Israel – Acre and Beit Jann.[8]

527 A.D. Byzantine Emperor Justin I names his nephew Justinian I as co-ruler and successor to the throne. This was a "lose-lose" proposition for the Jewish people. When Justin I assumed the throne he adopted a policy of rigorously enforcing the anti-Jewish laws promulgated by Theodosius including excluding Jews from "all posts of honor" and banning the construction of new synagogues.[9] When an ambitious Emperor Justinian came to power in 527 A.D. he had visions of a reunited Roman Empire. [10]

May 20, 1092: During the reign of St. Ladislaus the Synod of Szabolcs decreed that Jews in Hungary should not be permitted to have Christian wives or to keep Christian slaves. This decree had been promulgated in the Christian countries of Europe since the fifth century, and St. Ladislaus merely introduced it into Hungary.[11]



1092: Alexius Comnenus managed to stir up trouble between Kilij Arslan and his son in law, who was murdered at a banquet in Nicaea in 1092. His son, the younger Chaka, was too busy trying to hold his inheritance together to venture on further aggression.[12]



1095: By 1095 Alexious Comnenus was ready to contemplate action against the Turks. For the moment his European lands were quiet; and in Asia the Seldjuk power was declining. Malik Shah died in 1092, Tutush in 1095; and Tutush’s sons, Ridwan of Aleppo and Duqaq of Damascus, were fighting aghianst each other or against the atabeg of Mosul, Kerbogha, the most formidable of the younger Turkish chieftains. In Palestine the Fatimids were advancing against the sons of Orgoq. The Anbatolian Turks would get little support from their kinsmen in Syria. But Alexious was short of manpower. He needed recruits for his army. His finances were in better order; he could afford to hire mercenaries, and the best mercenaries came from the West. [13]

May 20, 1631: The city of Magdeburg in Germany is seized by forces of the Holy Roman Empire and most of its inhabitants massacred, in one of the bloodiest incidents of the Thirty Years' War. For once, there were probably no Jews among the dead. The Jews had been expelled from the town in 1493 and would not be readmitted until 1671 during the reign of the great elector, Frederick William.[14]

May 20, 1648: King Wladislaus IV of Poland passed away. Wladislaus was the king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth when the Chmielnicki, Uprising began in January of 1648. According to some, the King and his advisors underestimated the size and the strength of the uprising. They suffered to major defeats as the Cossacks moved westward. His death left the Poles leaderless at a crucial time in their history and may have been a contributing factor to the success of the uprising which brought death and destructions to hundreds of thousands of Jews living throughout the area.[15]

1649 Jews expelled from Ukraine.[16] In the mid 17th century, the Cossacks of the Ukraine and the local Polish peasantry revolted against the feudal conditions imposed by the Polish overlords. Unfortunately, Jews bore the brunt of their murderous fury. Hundreds of thousands were massacred. Church persecution and local enmity were a constant threat. Many Jews moved west, renewing former settlements in Germany and France.[17]



May 20, 1671: Frederick William of Prussia permitted 50 Jewish families who had been expelled from Vienna to settle in his dominion.[18]



1671: Samuel Winch was of Sudbury in 1671, and then, or soon after, was in the occupation of lands out of the South bounds of Sudbury, where he probably lived. "Winch's old house" is referred to as on the Danforth farm, in 1689. Thomas Drury, John How and others, were early settlers in that part of the town. The nearness to Sudbury doubtless led to the early settlements in that neighborhood.[19]



An agreement dated 1671, between Lauchlan Mackinnon and James Macgregor, of Macgregor, “for special love and amitie…they were lawfully descended Fra twa breethern of auld Descent…to serve each other.”[20]



May 20, 1690: A combined French and Indian force destroy a settlement at Casco, Maine, during King William’s War.[21]





May 20th, 1775



At a Court Con’d and held for Augusta County, May 20th, 1775.

…P. John Campbell & Wm. Crawford… [22]



May 20, 1777: The Cherokee Indians give up all of their territory in South Carolina, signing the Treaty of DeWitts Corner.[23]



May 20, 1778

Lieutenant Piel, also of the von Donop Regiment, correctly noted the events of 20 May 1778. “Because we had news that the rebel General [Marie Joseph] Marquis de Lafayette had crossed the Schuylkill with 5,000 men and wished to establish himself near White Marsh, the English and Hessian Grenadiers, as well as the Light Infantry, marched out at about nine o’clock in the morning to approach the enemy corps from the rear. This morning at six o’clock, another corps of English, Hessians, and Ansbachers took the road through Germantown in order to make a frontal attack against the enemy. However, the Marquis received timely reports of these movements and hurriedly pulled back over the Schuylkill. The Woellwarth Brigade did not participate in these movements, but remained in Philadelphia under arms throughout the period”[24]



May, Colonel William Crawford took command of the Thirteenth Regiment under BrIgadier-General Lachlln McIntosh who had succeeded General Hand. Colonel William Crawford located and erected Fort Crawford a short distance above the mouth of Puckerty Creek, about 16 miles above Fort Pitt. Colonel Crawford was in command at Fort Crawford 1778-80. Colonel George Rodgers Clark invited Crawford to join his expedition to the Mississippi River. Due to the condition of the frontier, Crawford had to refuse. Colonel Crawford took active part under Brigadier-General Mcintosh in the expedition against Detroit. [25]

Sir: At my arrival at this place,[28] I found a number of volunteers from Westmoreland county, about one hundred men. The Washington county people are to rendexvous at the Mingo Bottom [on the east side of the Ohio]. If common report can be true, there will be about three or four hundred men. I am afraid the smallest number. I should be happy to see you at the Mingo Bottom if it is convenient for you. I am much afraid guides will be wanting. None seem to be fixed on that I can find that will go. I can hear nothing of Thomas Nicholson[29] for scouting. Tomorrow we shall be at the Mingo Bottom. About Wednesday we shall cross the Ohio and be able to begin our march on Thrusday morning or Wednsday evening. I must beg your assistance in requestin Dr. Knight’s coming as soon as possible. I can find him a horse from Colonel Canon’s, if he can come that far. I shall write you from time to time as opportunity may offer.[30]



May 20, 1782

The Wyandot Indian town of Sandusky was considered by these intrepid Washington County pioneers to be the base from which all of these Indian raids emanated. They were instigated of course, by the British from Detroit. It was more than a year until the war was officially closed and the armies disbanded on the eastern seaboard. This point was on the Sandusky River in present Wyandot County, Ohio. Mingo Bottom, on May 20, 1782, became the place of rendevous for the movement which has been known as Crawford’s expedition. General Irvine threw his influence towards the selection of Colonel William Crawford to command the expedition. Colonel David Williamson was ambitious to command and was but five votes short of heading it.[31]





May 20, 1819: In 1786, Thomas Moore (1745-1823) and his wife Mary Harrison (1761-1835) were among the second party of European settlers to enter Bourbon (now Harrison) County Kentucky. They lived on a tract of 2,000 acres in what is now known as the Poindexter Section of the county. In his will, executed May 20, 1819, Thomas Moore left all his property to Mary, for her use and disposition at her death.[32]

Harrison Count Janüary Court set 1824.



This last will and testament of Thomas Moore deceased was proven in open court by the oaths of Peter Barrett and Jenny Barrett subscribing witnesses thereto and ordered to be recorded.



Att. H.C. Moore C. H. C.[33]



Thomas Moore made his will on May 20, 1819, leaving his estate to his wife, naming her to execute his wishes. Mary left lands to children, whose own children inherited in turn. Grandson Marmakuke Moore (1808-1883), after a stint as sheriff of Harrison County, sold his holdings and moved to Covington Kentucky by 1850.



The spare accounts we have about the Moores and the Harrisons are suggestive of a powerful incentive shared by hundreds, then multiple thousands of immigrants to America and also by their early descendents. The unwavering objective, extending across the generations, was to transform vast lands into property. The property motive was in high profile for descendents of colonists from the British Isles, where even the forests were off limits, as owned by the king. The ownership motivation brought the settlers into genocidal conflict with the aboriginal occupiers of America, whose communal ways rejected the idea of land as personal or private property.



Turning land into property seems to have been the primary motive of the settlers, even when there were other incentives, such as unfettered religious practice, or new beginnings well away from the slums of London or the rural poverty of Scotland. The harsh conditionts of life may have pushed the immigrants out of

Europe but ht e vast lands of America is what pulled them. Not long after landfall, the arriving colonials, especially those already with children in their arms and at their sides, realized what lay before them, an impossibly broad expanxe of territory. For the immigrants and their descendents, for gtenerations to come, until the end of the 19th century when the frontier was closed, life would have been full of dreams, discussions and plans with spouses, children and friends. Their subject would have been the land, how to get some it, use it, acquire more of it, hang onto it and pass it down through the family.



Thomas Moore was buried in Harrison County, in Poindexter, west of Cynthiana. A broken headstone reads: Sacred to the Memory of Thomas Moore, a Captain in the Army of the Revolution who died October 20, 1823, in the 78th year of his Life.



There is another headstone, which has a partial inscription today but which was copied some years ago:



Under the Stone are deposited the remains of Mary Moore Consort of Thomas Moore: A native of Virginia, Who died 7th Febry 1836 In the 75th year of her age To the memory of the fond wife kind parent good neighbor



The Lindsey Cemetery, which contains the Moore graves, is situated on private property, (the McNees farm) in Poindexter, a few miles west of the Cynthiana, KY. The cemetery is about a half mile east of and directly behind a highway marker identifying the location of the cemetery. The marker is on Harrison County Route 1743, “Carl Stephens Road.” You have to enter private property to get to the cemetery. Be nice.[34]





Anna Goodlove visits the “Grey” room where North Carolina seceded from the Union, May 20, 1861. North Carolina was one of the last states to secede from the Union.[35] Zebulon Vance, the Civil War Governor of North Carolina was Anna’s fourth cousin, 6 times removed.[36]

Marched 3 m on levee and camped[38][39]



May 20, 1865

Private Rigby gave a very detailed account of the long march through the unreconstructed region of the South. The first part of the march to Sisters Ferry was through land so poor that it would have produced only ten to twelve bushels of corn or wheat per acre. Sherman’s army had destroyed this region, and women, claiming that they had not eaten in forty-eight hours, even begged hardtack from the marchers. The returning Confederate soldiers from Johnston’s army presentede a pathetic picture. Officers rode on skeletons which once had been horses. From the three star general to the lowly “clayeater,” all were going home without public demonstration or cheers of joy to welcome them. Rigby symbolized them as “beating the death march of their dead Confederacy.:[40]

Chivalry was further wounded as the Union marchers flaunted their banners and played their marching music. In Waynesboro, the band struck up “Bonnie Blue Flag,” and a Confederate captain, still in full uniform, resenting the insult, wolked into his home and slammed the door. A young lady companion tossed her pretty head in contempt of the passing column. Many, however, who viewed the marchers were openly friendly and acknowledged that they had been beaten fairly and were ready to return to peaceful pursuits. A few, like the insulted captain, retorted, “You have not whipped us, you have only overpowered us. “ One old southern gentleman added that, “We are ready to fight you again.” His two sons recently returned from Lee’s army were of the opinion that the old man could do the next fighting; they had had enough.[41]







Between Waynesboro and August the land improved in quality, and a number of fine mansions were sighted. Lucas noted several men working in great uniforms and a number of southern belles, all very white, showing that they had not been exposed to the sun. Most of the plantation owners still retained their slaves. The Negroes, in most cases, were not yet aware of their freedom A few, however, followed the marching column.[42]

One former owner attempted to take a Negro from the column wit the permission of Colonel Wright. When th e plantation owner drew a revolver to intimidate the fugitive, the 24th acted, relieving the man of his revolvers, money, and claim to the Negro. Another person in greay uniform followed the regiment all the way to Augusta to get a woman who had escaped his cruelty. Rigby criticized the officers for allowing this man tro ride in the rear of the column while they argued the doctrine of civil rights, a doctrine that was dead and damned in the private’s opinion. Rigby felt it was better for the masses of Negroes to remain at their homes where they recweived comparatively good treatment until the government could provide proper protection. The soldiers, however, had a duty not close their eyes to the demands of humanity.[43]



Approaching August the column was hurrahed by a group of Negroes. The cheerers were rebuked by a southern woman who screamed in a piping keg, “You damned niggers, I wish some of these men would shoot you.” Rigby thought that the question of which was preferable, a black skin or a black heart, was hardly debatable. The three Iowa regiments which had outdistanced their eastern comrades at arms, paraded with colors flying and drums beating through Augusta. The troops then crossed the Savannah River and camped one mile northeast of the city in the little hamlet of Hamburg, South Carolina.[44]

May 2005: Pope John Paul II is remembered for his successful efforts to end communism, as well as for building bridges with peoples of other faiths, and issuing the Catholic Church s first apology for its actions during World War II. He was succeeded by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. Benedict XVI began the process to beatify John Paul II in May 2005.[46]

Hello Jeffery, attached is my application I sent for my SAR membership documentation. As noted, Thomas Moore is my 4th Great Grandfather and Mary Harrison Moore my 4th Great Grandmother. I will be interested in knowing what your computer program discerns as to how we are related. What might you know about any other ancestors we would have in common due to our connection? As always, it is a pleasure to chat.

• Best Wishes, John Moreland



• John, thanks for sending me the application, and according to that info I put it into my program it says you are my 6th cousin, 1X removed. More important than that is how you connect with an already established tree of a very important family as it relates to early American history. In general I have 76 pages of relatives connected to you and a simple family report is a whos who of American military history, particularly in the Harrison line but also in others. Let me know if you interested in any further information. Jeff Goodlove

[29] Thomas was a brother of Joseph Nicholson, who was famous as a scout, he having seen, perhaps, more service in that line, than any other person in the western country. He was with Washington in 1770, down the Ohio, to the Great Kanawha, proving himself upon that occasion, a useful guide. In Dunmore’s war of 1774, he acted as pilot. He was also engaged in the same capacity in several expeditions, during the revolution, from Fort Pitt. After the war, he settled at Pittsburgh and died there.

[37] Joseph Bailey’s engineering skills were once more called on to solve the problem of bridging the 600 yard-wide Atchafalaya River at Simsport without pontoons or the usual engineer field equipment. Using steamers, he improvised a bridge over which Bank’s wagon trains passed the afternoon of the 19th and the troops the next day. (O.R., Bank’s report)
