Crime in Chicago has been in the news lately, but it is nothing new. Historically it dates back over a hundred years. From the tale of the Gray Wolves
http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/540.html
The 1890s Chicago City Council was notorious for corrupt political practices orchestrated by a faction of its aldermen known as the Gray Wolves. So named because they were viewed as preying upon the defenseless public, the Gray Wolves were led by First Ward aldermen Bathhouse John Coughlin and Hinky Dink Mike Kenna, and Johnny Powers of the Nineteenth Ward. These elected officials were not only skilled at trading votes for favors, but once in office they excelled in making municipal decisions to profit themselves financially.
TO the present, it is a compelling historical subject.

HHS Sends $5.9 Million to Program Run by Obama Buddy (U of Chicago program tied to MO)
White House Dossier ^ | 5-14-12 | Keith Koffler
Posted on Monday, May 14, 2012 2:49:21 PM by STARWISE
The Department of Health and Human Services last week announced it had awarded a $5.9 million grant to a University of Chicago Medical Center program tied to Michelle Obama and run by Eric Whitaker, one of President Obamas closest friends.
The Urban Health Initiative, which received the award, was originally based on a smaller program launched during the last decade by Michelle Obama, who was an executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center before she departed to become first lady. The UHI is headed up by Obama basketball and golf buddy Whitaker, who has known the president since Obamas days in law school and who also vacations with the first family.
Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also has ties to the UHI. Until resigning to go work at the White House, Jarrett was Chairman of the University of Chicago Medical Center Board of Trustees. And in 2007, a PR firm run by former senior White House adviser and Obama political guru David Axelrod provided provided public relations strategy advice to the UHI, according to the
Keeping it all together. (stolen it’s the Chicago way! Lot’s of research on Jerrett earlier in this thread (as well as the other OBOTS. Pay attention to the A names.

New book: Jarretts Chicago connections led to Obamas Solyndra visit
The Daily Caller. ^ | May 14, 2012 | Matt K. Lewis
Posted on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 8:56:19 PM by george76
many of Obamas most liberal and costly political mistakes stemmed from Jarretts advice.
Jarrett reportedly hatched the idea of Obama flying to Copenhagen to make a dramatic presentation to the International Olympic Committee for Chicagos Olympic bid and also encouraged Obamas visit to the Bay area solar company Solyndra despite the protestations of Lawrence Summers (who in 2009 warned against the loan guarantee) and others.
Klein implies Jarretts pro-Solyndra position was a result of her Chicago connections and —
especially her close ties to the George Kaiser Family Foundation, which controlled 35.7 percent of Solyndra. The foundation had made a sizable donation to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where Jarrett once served as chairwoman and where one of Obamas best friends, Eric Whitaker, is currently executive vice president. Billionaire George Kaiser, one of Obamas top 2008 campaign fundraising bundlers, visited the White House no fewer than sixteen times, and Jarrett herself met at least three times with Solyndra lobbyists, who pushed for government assistance.
...
Axelrod and Jarrett were charter members of the Cult of Obama; they had drunk deeply of the Obama Kool-Aid. They made certain that the president remained true to his roots as a big-spending, big-government liberal,
Michelle Obama was paid large money for a no- show position at the University of Chicago Medical Center [ then she got a raise from about $100,000 to over $300,000 when Barack became a senator ] ?
Later Barark arranged that the taxpayers then sent a Million plus $$ to the University of Chicago Medical Center ?
More to it then that...IIRC it starts in the 200 posts.
Start at 202 and 203 . Think there is more following
Begin at # 202 , see # 203 # 204, and down to end of page.
Thanks, hoosiermama. Good find; I had forgotten about these posts, even though the thread is bookmarked... twice.
....niters.
In fact, intimidation tactics, public charges of racism and threats to use CRA to block business expansion have enabled ACORN to extract hundreds of millions of dollars in loans and contributions from Americas financial institutions.
Obama and dems have been involved in bad ways with banks for a long time... Interesting stuff..
Grandma left BO a half million dollars in bank stock from the small bank she worked for.
His mama was making small loan to “small business” in Asia. Money Laundering and the drug routes may be involved.
Alex G’s family bank got it’s start working with the local bookies. BLANK-O’s first job was running numbers for one of them.
Check out all the names that begin with A in the first hundred posts of the tread and see how many of them were involved in banking/real estate.
Rezko and Blank-O wife (A RE agent who only had one customer) are connected with RE deals who may be connected to both of the BO homes in Chicago.
BO is married to Michelle Robinson who is connected to Jesse Robinson Jackson, biological father is Noah Robinson, Half Brother, Noah Robinson (doing life), connected with el Rhnu, connected with Louie F. BO did his community organizing in the same territory that El R plied their trade of drugs, prostitution (male and female) and murder for hire...
and so it goes.......WE ARE FAMILY just the thugs, bankers and HE.
Little trivia for you:
Noah Robinson Sr was a Pro=boxer
Rezko’s first job takng care of Cassius Clay for Louis Ferretcon....Ferretcon is connected to....
And they all live in the same neighborhood.
Every now and then read though the entire thing (usually hunting for something) and just shake my head. If we freepers have this amount of information what does LEO with wire taps, informants etc know? How corrupt is LeO?
Obama Communist Connections:

ETL, connecting some of your communist connection material to the Chicago Crime Thread....Wish it was as organized as your work! Mine is quite a dog pile!
Could you please add me to your ping list?
Thanks
Should be Jackie Robinson, baseball player
The first airlift of students landed at Idlewild in September, 1959, at least ONE MONTH AFTER the kenyan-son-of-a-goat-herder's immigration records show he arrived in the US.
Sports legend Jackie Robinson, the man who integrated major-league baseball, was an early supporter of the student airlifts. Along with Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte, he signed a fundraising letter spelling out an urgent matter which we are confident will appeal to your sense of fair play. Robinson also contributed thousands of dollars of his own money for scholarships for Kenyans.
All of which had nothing to do with the arrival in Hawaii of Barack Hussein Obama from Kenya.
he arrived in New York AUGUST 9, 1959.
Axelrod information starts at 75.
Post 86 has information re “background”
....some Rahm E also mixed in here.
Put on your tin foil hat and read the information starting here on Mayer Harold Washington’s death....Like AB people were suspicios even back then....Common thread?
Axelrod information starts at # 75.
"Axelrods first job was with a small neighborHOOD COMMUNIST newspaper."
Post # 86 has information RE background.
Rahm E. info mixed in. Also, material on Revko, his connection to Louis Farrakhan and an interest note that Blanko started his career running numbers...
Put on tin foil hat and read information starting at # 89 on Mayor Harold Washingtons death.... Heart attack officially, but people thought he was poisoned...(just like Andrew Breitbart)....
. . . . Andrew Breitbart people were suspicious even back then.
Thanks, hoosiermama.
Seems it would be a badge of shame among honest people...
Star’s excellent thread on Jarrett....Many good comments too
