CHICAGO: CRIME KIND OF TOWN

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.

More Rahm E material/ medical link + banking + Freddie Mac:
From:

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/11/rahm_emanuel_enforcer.html

He is one in a trio of superachieving brothers: Ari is a Hollywood superagent, the chief at Endeavor, and Ezekiel, a breast oncologist, is the chairman of the department of bioethics at the National Institutes of Health.

...

After seven years in Washington, Emanuel moved to Ravenswood, making millions of dollars as an investment banker in a few deals, and making more money when tapped by Clinton for a plum spot on the Freddie Mac board.

Barack Obama came to Chicago in 1983, inspired by the city’s new mayor Harold Washington. A long time Communist Party associate and probable member,

Ari is a Hollywood superagent, the chief at Endeavor not entirely Chicago, but interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/27/business/media/27agent.html?ref=business Rahm's brother Ari is founder of Hollyweird agency Endeavor whose clients include: Amy Poehler, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Robert DeNiro. Ari is the inspiration for the character on HBO's Entourage - Ari Gold is the fictionalized Emanuel brother. Ari led the BHO fundraising efforts in Hollywood.

More on Washington From :
http://www.answers.com/topic/harold-washington

...Washington’s opponents were the incumbent mayor, Jane Byrne (who had alienated her black support) and Richard M. Daley, the son of the former mayor (who was largely dependent on conservative ethnic voters). The contest opened up Democratic Party divisions as Walter Mondale backed Daley and Edward Kennedy backed Byrne. Washington received support from Jesse Jackson, a long-time opponent of the Daley machine. Washington won the primary and the general election in which racial divisions ...

Hmmmm “unexpected death?”

...Despite doubts about many aspects of Washington’s policies, he was re-elected in 1987. Although race was still a factor, Washington had by that stage transcended much of the sectarianism associated with his first term. His unexpected death so soon after re-election deprived the black community of a formidable political operator.

Axelrod’s link to COmmunist:

Here:
http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2008/11/01/loudon-the-paid-soviet-agent-behind-axelrod-and-obama/2/

...By the late 1960s David Canter was publishing a small politically oriented Chicago neighbourhood newspaper Hyde Park Kenwood Voices. Canter’s partner and the paper’s editor was Don Rose, a journalist active in at least two Communist Party fronts....

David Canter’s late wife, Miriam Canter, was of similar mind. She was an active fundraiser for a defense committee for prominent medical researcher and secret Communist party member Dr. Jeremiah Stamler who was also under investigation by HCUA.

It was Don Rose (right) that hired a young political science student David Axelrod to write for “Voices”. It was Rose who mentored Axelrod and recommended him for the job at the Chicago Tribune which would launch his stellar career....

.......

With nine others, Canter approached Democratic Party congressman Harold Washington about standing for the Chicago mayoralty. Canter had known Washington for many years, not surprising as the congressman had ties to Chicago’s communists and socialists dating back until the 1940s.

...

Don Rose and David Axelrod also worked for Harold Washington. Rose served as an adviser to the mayor, while Axelrod served as a campaign consultant.

...

While Harold Washington died shortly after starting his second term, the coalition that elected him endured. The Chicago Communist Party was a key component of this alliance as was the Democratic Socialists of America. By the late 70s Don Rose had become close to the Chicago socialists as had Charles Hayes and Harold Washington himself.

Guess others wore tinfoil too:

From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Washington

Immediately after Washington’s death, rumors about how Washington died began to surface. On January 6, 1988, Dr. Antonio Senat, Washington’s personal physician, denied “unfounded speculations” that Washington had cocaine in his system at the time of his death, or that foul play was involved. Cook County Medical Examiner Robert J. Stein performed an autopsy on Washington and concluded that Washington had died of a heart attack. Washington had weighed 284 pounds (129 kg), and suffered from hypertension, high cholesterol levels, and an enlarged heart.[38] On June 20, 1988 Alton Miller again indicated that drug reports on Washington had come back negative, and that Washington had not been poisoned prior to his death. Dr. Stein stated that the only drug in Washington’s system had been lidocaine, which is used to stabilize the heart after a heart attack takes place. The drug was given to Washington either by paramedics, or by doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hosipital.[39]

WOW the link @ 90 is really enlightening....Tells exactly what Axelrod has been up to.....What his system is, how it works, how he uses people of places like FR, etc.

A must read for all freepers particularly those who occasionally deal with trolls.

From Cal’s post Here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2152134/posts?page=2

Excerpt:

Court papers describe Mr Rezko as a close friend of Mr Auchi, although Mr Auchi disputes this. The two are involved in a large Chicago land development together. But it is unclear how long the two men have known each other or whether they were linked before the 2003 Iraq war. Neither side would discuss their relationship.

The Times has, however, discovered state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to Mr Obama’s fundraiser in May 2005.

Fintrade’s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi’s wife.
