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.

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 Obama’s 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 Obama’s 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

New book: Jarrett’s ‘Chicago connections’ led to Obama’s 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 Obama’s most liberal and costly political mistakes stemmed from Jarrett’s advice.

Jarrett reportedly hatched the idea of Obama flying to Copenhagen to “make a dramatic presentation to the International Olympic Committee” for Chicago’s Olympic bid — and also encouraged Obama’s 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 Jarrett’s 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 Obama’s best friends, Eric Whitaker, is currently executive vice president. Billionaire George Kaiser, one of Obama’s 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 ?

Any bank that wants to expand or merge with another has to show it has complied with CRA - and approval can be held up by complaints filed by groups like ACORN.

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 America’s 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.

It's not just the banking...Look at some of the dots connected above. Banking is connected to real estate, ill-gotten finances (drugs/Mexico, prostitution) medical profession???(Drugs???)

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?

We know of the connection between Michelle Robinson O and Jesse Robinson Jackson. Is there also a connection to Smokey Robinson, the baseball player, that helped fund the airlift of students from Africa to the US?

SOURCE LINK

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.

"Axelrod’s 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 Washington’s death.... Heart attack officially, but people thought he was poisoned...(just like Andrew Breitbart)....

. . . . Andrew Breitbart people were suspicious even back then.

Thanks, hoosiermama.
