In just a few hours, election day dawns in Chicago. Rahm Emanuel will likely become mayor. And here's some of the tricks he used to get into office.

=======================================

AS THEY SAY IN CHICAGO POLITICS----TIMING IS EVERYTHING A key supporter of another Chi mayoral candidate raised eyebrows and caused Emanuel to rise up in horror and call the utterance "blatantly ugly."

Seems Chicago Union man, Jim Sweeney, head of Operating Engineers Local 150, called Emanuel a “Wall Street Judas.” Emanuel responded, “I have absolute confidence that the people of the city of Chicago will see this comment for what it is and reject the values behind it. And the ugliness behind it.”

YOU DON'T SAY A union man dissed Dem Rahm? Hard to believe a Chicago union would undermine their boy Rahm, isn't it?

PAYS TO BE A VICTIM: Did Rahm stage this event to relive his 2002 victory? Walkback Rahm's Congressional career: After becoming a multimillionaire overnight working in investment banking in 2002, Emanuel pursued the US House seat held by Rod Blagojevich, who "chose" to run for Governor of Illinois.

The most controversial moment of Rahm's Chicago primary came when a PAC endorsing his opponent, called Emanuel a "millionaire carpetbagger who knows nothing" about "our heritage" and charged that Emanuel had dual citizenship.

Rahm acted posthaste. The remarks were quickly denounced as "anti-Semitic" by many...........including his (gasp) opponent. Candidate Emanuel quickly brought together a coalition of Chicago clergy (who were waiting in the wings) to denounce the incident. Rahm later recalled, "One of the proudest moments of my life was seeing people of my district from all backgrounds demonstrate our common values by coming together in response to this obvious attempt to divide them."

SURPRISE----Emanuel won the primary and easily defeated the Republican candidate in the general election.

In 2006, Chicago Tribune columnist John Kass reported he had a newsroom confrontation with Emanuel over Kass’s continued speculation that Emanuel won election because convicted former Chicago water department boss Don Tomczak sent in his employees to work for Emanuel. He also speculated that Mayor Richard Daley’s “underlings” who were sentenced to federal prison for organizing “patronage armies” also helped Emanuel.

CONCLUSION Do not underestimate Rahm and his ability to buy anyone or anything he wants.........especially when he wants public office.

===========================================

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD Chicago Mayoral Candidate Rahm announced he "raised" more than $10.5M in just 3 months.... NOTE It only takes a nanosecond to wire-transfer money from offshore accounts (/snix).

=================================================

To show Chicagoans how PERFECT he is, Rahm unveiled a lengthy, star-studded (gag) "Hollywood donor roll." One of Emanuel's brothers is the Plus-Perfect Hollywood super-agent and uber-liberal activist, Ari Emanuel. Ari is "kindly" called aggressive and temperamental -- the inspiration for Jeremy Piven's wildly popular "Entourage" character, Ari Gold. Ari took over Creative Artists Agency to achieve H'wood agency supremacy----- CAA is an unbelievable brand he got for nothing, and he crushed the internal competition in days....he's THAT perfect.

======================================

ANALYSIS Rahm's $10.5M campaign war chest needs rigorous scrutiny. The State BoE and the FEC should scrutinize Rahm's filings. Better yet, the FBI should interrogate all of the names listed as donors. They will find very few of these people actually donated. The names are covers for Rahm transferring millions of his ill-gotten gains, looted while he was (gag) in the US govt.

How do I know?

(1) As WH COS, Rahm was involved in the biggest govt con of the decade. (2) As a Clinton appointee, Rahm looted Fannie Mae----the centerpiece of the criminal organization called the Dem party. Obama defied the law and covered up the looting by refusing to release F/M financial documents to the media under FOIA. (3) As a (gag) Congressman, conniving Rahm ran a "Foundation" from his Chicago home---- that allowed him to live tax-free.

This guy Rahm knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weigh Watcher weigh-in. His activities on Wall Street also need scrutiny. Supposedly, in just two years, he made off with $16M from 2-3 deals.

====================================

HOW DID GANGSTER GOVERNMENT SCAM $180 BILLION? PROBABLY LIKE THIS (the Madoff Wall Street MO): The trustee ID'ing Madoff's assets, found Madoff created a labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places offshore that hid government fraud, thievery, money launderering, tax evasion........ all out of sight of taxpayers, the IRS, SEC, FEC and US banking laws.

BTW, stolen money is taxable.

At least half a dozen people in the Ohaha admin are going to walk away from “Public Service“ living like the Sultan of Brunei......and we can name them all without even breaking a sweat.
