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.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA’S CHURCH by Jeff Head
Here:
http://www.jeffhead.com/blacklibtheology.htm
...
Wright admits that he preaches his brand of that theology which is based, in part, on the works of one James Hal Cone, the recognized pioneer in the black brand of this theology, and someone who has been the Charles Augustus Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology at Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York.
...
“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community
...
“Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”
Back to article:
That is what this is...and it is the version accepted and practised by black radicals in this country and it is intent on changing this country into a socio-marxist state where wealth, opportunity, and position are not earned by individuals, but instead are handed out by the state...and in this case they simply want to be the ones in control of redistributing it all for their purposes and what they call “their” people.
Thanks
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA IN HIS & HIS SUPPORTERS OWN WORDS by Jeff Head

http://www.jeffhead.com/obamayourtube.htm
A number of youtube vidoes, many of them in Obama’s own words, and those of his close associates for over 20 years, and other supporters, which make clear who Obama is and what he reperesents:

Obama’s Upbringing (Much more at link)
From:

........
Did or did not Obama recite the Islamic call to prayer from memory in an interview? Did he or did he not, in that interview refer to it as one of the most beautiful sounds at sunset? - [Reference Obama:Man of the World, March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristoff, NY Times Select]
From that article:
“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
...
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his actions as President.
If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKETS, AND ENERGY
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is an avowed socialist, openly talking about applying marxist dogma and principle to our free market.
He has stated, among other things, that he openly wants all of the following:
Redistribution of Wealth (in his 2001 NPR interview)
That he wants to bankrupt the traditional coal industry (in the closing days of the campaign).
That he wants off shore drilling and ANWR drilling curtailed (before and during the campaign).
That the rest of the world will not put up with Americans driving SUVs, keeping their houses warm, or enjoying their life styles (during the campaign).
That huge bailouts should go to the very institutions that have caused the financial crisis under democratic party initiatives (during the campaign...and before when he himself was involved in creating, supporting, and pushing forward those very initiatives).
That any talk against his socialistic plans is “greed” and that free market principles that invoke such “greed” should be ended (during the campign and throughout his career as a politician and activist).

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - COMMUNITY ORGANIZER TIED TO ECONOMIC CRISIS

...
They then use the institutions (like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other lending institutions) that have either been established or mandated by their misbegotten, socialist/marxist legislation, to fund these loans, and in the process provide campaign financing for themselves, and kickbacks and bonuses and salaries for their friends who continue to push this American Nightmare until it breaks.
They then blame the very people who fought their efforts in the first place and demand “rescues” and “bailouts” at the expense of the hard working Americans of this nation, not just further pillfering the public larges but brutally raping it until it is on the verge of death, and then funnelling that very money back to the institutions that were responsible for the melt down in the first place.

...Obama selected outgoing Illinois U.S. Rep. Ray LaHood (R-Combine) for the post of secretary of transportation, putting LaHood in charge of Obama’s planned trillion-dollar public works bonanza being sold as a jobs bill.
...What Obama forgot to mention is that with LaHood in charge of the roads, they’ll lead to one place:

When you’re crossing a swamp as deep and wide as Chicago, it helps to have a navigator. Of course, a case could be made that VJ was the one who invited the Obamas into the swamp in the first place.
Whatever VJ’s role may have been, it’s clear that at this juncture, it “wouldn’t be prudent” to abandon this mentor and give her a reason to start airing her beefs on deep background with reporters like John Kass.

Thank you, hooseirmom. What the Democratic Party, the Obama campaign, and the MSM (with help form far too many RINOs) have perpetrated on the American people is the largest con job in the history of the free world, and recorded history.
Victoria Toensing and her husband Joseph DeGenova were two very big stars in the Justice Dept. of George H W Bush.
Is Joseph DeGenova related to Nicholas in any way?
Does Nicholas know Ayres? Obama?
The now infamous remarks of Assistant Professor Nicholas De Genova of Columbia University calling for “a million Mogadishus” are appalling enough in their own right. Even some of the leftist faculty with whom De Genova shared the stage in this anti-war teach-in, such as historian Eric Foner, have prudently distanced themselves from his comments. What his sentiments reveal about higher education in this country, where professors at Ivy League institutions come from and what they are doing when war does not offer the occasion to publicly denounce America, is far more alarming.
Now in a tenure-track position in anthropology at Columbia, De Genova studied as an undergraduate and graduate at The University of Chicago.

Thanks for all the work on this thread.

Here is a review of Nicholas DeGenova’s book related to hispanics in Chicago:
Working the Boundaries: Race, Space, and “Illegality” in Mexican Chicago
by:
Nicholas De Genova
Price $84.95
De Genova worked for two and a half years as a teacher of English in ten industrial workplaces (primarily metal-fabricating factories) throughout Chicago and its suburbs. In Working the Boundaries he draws on fieldwork conducted in these factories, in community centers, and in the homes and neighborhoods of Mexican migrants. He describes how the meaning of “Mexican” is refigured and racialized in relation to a U.S. social order dominated by a black-white binary. Delving into immigration law, he contends that immigration policies have worked over time to produce Mexicans as the U.S. nation-state’s iconic “illegal aliens.” He explains how the constant threat of deportation is used to keep Mexican workers in line. Working the Boundaries is a major contribution to theories of race and transnationalism and a scathing indictment of U.S. labor and citizenship policies.

No problem. For stuff like this, it would be better to have a wiki that is constantly updated so that everything’s organized all in one place instead of trying to keep up with all the juicy bits and pieces scattered across many threads. So your labors to make sense of all this are well appreciated.

Information on the impeachment movement for Senator Obama.
Petition is link to location. Copy on following post.
From
http://obamaimpeachment.org/
Why investigate Senator Obama?
Barack Obama was in the Illinois Senate for 8 years and was
elected to the US Senate from Illinois in 2004. Senator Obama
has been rushed to the forefront of the Democrat Party
without being vetted for his integrity and credentials to
be the Democrat Party’s candidate for president. Little was
known about the senator from Illinois until the past year.
However, the investigations of the Federal Government,
indictments by Patrick Fitzgerald, testimony during the
Tony Rezko trial and research by those without ties to
the Democrat Party, have unearthed volumes of incriminating
evidence about Senator Obama that are of grave concern. The
grass roots effort behind this website and petition has
evolved out of the concern of millions of caring citizens.
So, what can you as an average caring citizen do:
............
A PETITION
for
The Impeachment of Senator Barack Obama
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama is an admitted illegal drug user and
is believed to have used illegal drugs as recently as November 1999
or more recently. Mr. Obama has maintained contact with other
admitted illegal drug users.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has maintained regular contact
with known criminals such as Antoin (Tony) Rezko and other
criminal elements in Chicago and Illinois. Mr. Obama has
conducted business with these criminals and received campaign
donations from them. Mr. Obama was compelled to return an estimated $250,000 in
donations related to Tony Rezko.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has consistently lied about his
contact with convicted criminal Tony Rezko. The Tony Rezko
corruption trial revealed that FBI mole John Thomas helped investigators
“build a record of repeat visits to the old offices of Rezko and former
business partner Daniel Mahru’s Rezmar Corp., at 853 N. Elston, by
Blagojevich and Obama during 2004 and 2005,” according to the February
10, 2008 Chicago Sun-Times.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has engaged in unscrupulous business
practices, in particular with Mr. Robert Blackwell. Mr. Obama
received an $ 8,000 per month “legal retainer” from Mr. Blackwell
for a total of $112,000 and reported the income through his law firm
in a manner not unlike money laundering. Obama, along with Obama
campaign manager Dan Shomon, procured $ 320,000 in state grants
for Blackwell’s company Killerspin. Blackwell companies contributed
over $ 32,000 to the Obama campaign in 2007.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama used the office of IL Senator to
facilitate the vote rigging in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois Senate
Health and Human Services Committee. Mr. Obama pushed legislation in Senate Bill
1332 to reduce the number of members of the Health Facilities Planning Board
from 15 to 9. Mr. Obama did conspire with Stuart Levine, Tony Rezko and
Rod Blogojevich to rig the committee and was rewarded with campaign
contributions. The new members appointed included 3 doctors who contributed to
Mr. Obama. On April 21, 2004, Stuart Levine explicitly advised Dr. Robert Weinstein,
who is now indicted, of Tony Rezko’s role in manipulating the Planning Board’s vote.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has engaged in lies and deception
about his past. Mr. Obama lied about his contact level with
convicted criminal Tony Rezko, the amounts and sources of
campaign contributions and encounters with the law. A complaint
has been filed with the Bar Association of Illinois alleging
that Mr. Obama did not answer truthfully all questions on the
application to the bar.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has invoked the FOIA in Illinois
when it was politically expedient and ignored or violated the
FOIA at other times. In the Illinois Senate proceedings of
Mr. Obama, in Senate Bill 1416, pleads the importance of businesses
bidding on state contracts having improved access to FOIA data. When
later questioned about his records during his term in the IL
Senate, Mr. Obama gave evasive answers or refused to supply records.
Whereas: The First Amendment provides a right for the people “to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Precedents
exist for impeachment and expulsion of a US Senator. Senator William
Blount was impeached by the House on July 7, 1797 and expelled by
the Senate the next day.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the People, Undersigned,
being citizens of the United States and residents in the Cities and States so
indicated, HEREBY Demand that the Congress of the United States begin
immediate impeachment and/or expulsion proceedings against Senator
Barack Obama.
Addendum: Petition to Impeach Senator Obama
We were urged to add the following information about Senator Obama.
This comes under the topic of lies and deception but also falls under more
serious charges of abuse of power and possible violation of the Logan Act.
Those signing the petition prior to this addendum will be identified.
August 4, 2008
Whereas: As a US Senator, Barack Obama violated the stated intention of
his 2006 Official Government Visa to Africa by publicly propagandizing
for his cousin, Railla Odinga against the US democratic ally of Kenya.
Whereas the stated “mission” of Senator Obama’s Official Visa, according
to the Kenya Office of Public Communications, was to “nurture relations
between the Continent and the United States” he, instead, made public
protest before Kenya citizens to rally against their leadership,
invoking a need for “Change!” and accusing this US allied nation of
“corruption.” In Official Protest of Mr. Obama’s passport abuse and
misconduct, Kenya’s government cited his “extremely disturbing
statements on issues which it is clear, he was very poorly informed, and
on which he chose to lecture the Government and the people of Kenya on
how to manage our country.” Whereas, furthermore, there is no public
record of any sanctions or reprimand by the US Congress of Senator
Obama’s passport violation or campaigning on foreign soil against a US
ally, history has since recorded the broadspread destruction of Kenya’s
economy and large scale loss of life as a result of the violence
instigated by Odinga’s ODM campaign there.
I don’t understand the technicalities; but Orly Taitz said you can’t impeach someone who illegally holds office. And if it is true, from the material we all have seen...it seems to be, that Obama is an illegal alien, then his positions as Senator and hopefully not soon to be President are illegally held. Therefore, you can’t impeach him. Orly said he has to be removed.
It is difficult to forget the memorable quotes from the recordings obtained by the DOJ. Cook County judge: “Show me the f*****ing money and I’ll show you f*****ing justice!”
