Fighting Corruption With Corruption, the Chicago Way

FIGHTING CRIME, GANGSTER STYLE


Back in about 1930, a young woman had her purse snatched on the streets of Chicago. Fortunately, she had recently met Al Capone, a prominent citizen, who had given her his card and told her to call him if she ever needed anything.

Within a few hours after calling Mr. Capone, the woman's purse was returned intact, with nothing missing.

From this story we learn that Al Capone was a crime buster.



FROM CAPONE TO OBAMA: THE LINK



The Capone gang opened its hearts to a sociology student named Saul Alinsky. The young scholar, and future community organizer, hung out with Frank Nitti, Jack Guzik, and other Capone lieutenants. They trusted him, and allowed him to be privy to the inner workings of the Capone organization.



Alinsky went on to become a professional revolutionary, agitating for the underprivileged against the powers that be, and teaching principles of community organizing with the goal of taking control of government. He perfected the art of personal destruction of one's foes, always attaching a legitimate cause to divert attention from his own actions.



Alinsky's prize pupil came along after his death in the person of Barack Obama, who used Chicago as a proving ground to start a very successful political career.



Mr. Obama is now reforming Washington D.C.
Notably, his current focus is Wall Street. A specific target is Goldman Sachs, recipient of billions of our tax dollars, and associated with former Treasury secretaries such as Hank Paulson, Robert Rubin, and the current one, Tim Geithner.



Goldman Sachs gave $1 million to the Obama campaign, and Geithner, with the Federal Reserve bank of New York at the time, helped steer bailout money its way.



So naturally, tax evader Geithner, and Chicago pol Obama, are the perfect guys to reform Wall Street and teach Goldman Sachs a lesson it won't forget.



History repeats itself. Just as Al Capone fought crime in Chicago, the pride of Chicago is fighting big money in Washington.
