CHICAGO VIOLENCE SPIKE PER MEDIA-CEASEFIRE MISSING CASH-NO JOBS

A ceasefire is a temporary stoppage of a war or any armed conflict, where each side of the conflict agrees with the other to suspend aggressive actions.
An oddity, the organization who refers to itself as CeaseFire, actually translates into a temporary suspension of aggressive action. The media attempts to show a Friday thru Monday upsurge in violence, by both combining the city and suburbs then highlighting a promotion of various types of crime which occurred. These four roughly estimated days of an alleged spike in violence, entailed the usual gang related shootings, along with stabbings, which may or may not have been gang related, and per media reporting. One homicide of a drowned 62 year old man.
CeaseFire is now asking or maybe its actually flexing its political muscle in Chicago, for the Mayor to take action and assist them in getting their cut funding back. This is all due to the state of Illinois cutting their funding, after the State of Illinois audit showed a large portion of missing cash. Which in our opinion is not so surprising.
Auditing done on ceasefire's record keeping, turned out sloppy at best. The audit examined CeaseFire's finances from 2004 to 2006 and found that the group was slow to start up promised programs and didn't adequately account for about $371,000 it paid to community partners. Ceasefire had this to say. "There's nothing illegal. There's no misspending. There's no trips to the Bahamas, no $50,000 toilet," said Gary Slutkin, founder and executive director of the organization at UIC. He further related they had receipts but uses the above excuse of. "There were no trips taken or a toilet bought nor was their misspending." Well then, if none of this occurred where is the missing cash you claim you have receipts for?
Exactly, what does this translate into? Ceasefire is sloppy at best with their record keeping and apparently also have an accountability problem, in handling hard earned taxpayer's funded monies. Were of the opinion, no one should have to pay to negotiate street gangs in reduction of their violence by paying out, that's called extortion. Of course we will always get the rhetoric of the poor communities, and their inabilities of providing jobs, activities, etc. Which are supposedly, causing a good portion of the spiral of gangs growth in their long standing recruiting tactics. While true Prison incarcerated inmate control for turf is part of the overall problem. The strong hold from within prisons perpetuates, the violence for control of turf. Which then feeds on the affected communities. Causing these numerous communities nationwide, to be held hostage to gang violence. Were led into believing, these problems are combined. With the majority of the problem, emulating from the so called social ills of societies, and our lack of attention to these programs. Lack of jobs and training is whats said to be actually feeding into these ills, of gang violence.
Ceasefire is a political band aid, put in place in an attempt to quell public out cry, that were actually dealing with the severe violence and crime problem. A problem that is not only national but a problem that has also continued to grow. In spite of the enormous Federal dollars, which have been thrown towards these programs like CeaseFire, in their so called combating of gang crime violence. There's still huge profits in the sub culture of drugs and that's exactly what gangs are about. Pushing drugs for profit and controlling the turf by providing street selling and look out jobs. Should profit coming from taxpayer's also be in the combating of these gangs holding communities nationally hostage, we think not.
As far back as 1986 under Harold Washington as Mayor, there was another program known as Chicago Intervention Network (CIN), also a program designed to combat gangs. Where over $4 million was appropriated to also battle gangs. This occurred after two events, the media highlighting of the story about the death of Ben Wilson, a 17-year-old high school basketball star who was being recruited by major colleges across the country. He was shot to death in a sidewalk confrontation with a gang member on the city’s South Side on November 20, 1984 and the highlighting of the 669th killing of that same year. At that time a campaign to fight gang crime was also mobilized. Some of the names involved back then were, Dr. Irving Spergel professor at the School of Social Service, University of Chicago (UIC), Commander Edward Pleines, Chicago Police Department, Father Lawrence Craig, director of Kolbe House and the Archdiocesan Gang Education Teams, and Jaime Rivera, an administrator of the Youth Guidance Program at Roberto Clemente High School. Looks like the same players as CeaseFire, only names have changed.
If jobs were actually important, we wouldn't be allowing under cutting by corporations, in their pursuit of hiring illegals for lower wages and corporate profit. We also would not be involved in allowing corporations to hire immigration attorney's in their endeavor of denying jobs to citizens, by placing scam ads of employment opportunities and the need for a high educational degree to obtain the job, along with the said need for prior work experience in a particular field. Requirements not even required of the corporations for these actual jobs. Since were now fully aware, the corporations are actually providing the short on job training to outsiders with little education and work experience. Whether their hiring here, or in their under cutting of exporting millions of our jobs out. So we can take the no job equation out, and the job equation is the biggest component because it relates to a feasible and attainable income in order to survive. So we agree on a major issue. Jobs are vital.
Here's an option. How about putting our money where it really counts. In maintaining our jobs, as a real starter. Or we could actually penalize employers and denounce, the Department of Labor in assisting Corporations and their high priced Immigration attorney's. In their alarming profits in selling off of our jobs, along with their illegal conduct of hiring illegals to work for lower wages. Better yet, here's an arcane idea. How about giving our communities the same ability for all, to obtain the six month on job training, with little education needed opportunity in securing those jobs your taking away from us. While were at it, we could actually demand, that our government provide the added security and secure our borders, where all those drugs are profitably flowing through and creating the gang wars and the upsurge in violence, that just happens to be effecting everyone nationally.
No, our Municipal, State and Federal government, Church and their Community partners, would rather support and promote, extortion of a politically profitable, social thought band aid. That's never going to cure the social ills, of lost opportunities. See how we saved the taxpayer, no extortion here and our intervention didn't even cost a dime. Of course our intervention reduces Politicians from Corporate fan fare donations and money going into all those immigration attorney's pockets. CeaseFire is a political diversion and not the solution they claim.

CHICAGO POLICE BOARD ROWDY CROWD VIDEO
The media started this nonsense with their reporting initially of a 18 year old boy being shot in the back by police. They then began pandering to the police hating ignorant loud crowd, which began congregating at the scene in early August. Daley then holds a meeting with slick back no suit shyster Sharpton and were less a true Police Superintendent and a continual man power shortage. Maybe Daley's newest baby, a now huge and mammoth free for all TCA Streets and Sans program plus, will eventually step up with their blue oscillating lights to the rescue, and he can then privatize and sanitize the police department with cheap labor called TCA's.
"We are tired of you murdering us," activist Fred Hampton Jr. told the board. "We are tired of that. We're tired." Coming from the same Hampton, that carried on about wanting a honorary Chicago street to be named after his gang banging daddy, the cop killer. Anyone else fed up with Chicago pandering Politicians and Chicago's liberal lean twisted media style of reporting? This is where our real problems are coming from. Home grown B.S. Sharpton "keepin it real", what a joke.
As the board walked out, the crowd chanted, "Killer cops must be stopped!"
Were tired of hearing your out of touch loud and obnoxious rhetoric.
Take a look at the video and see what we put up with daily here in Chicago. This city is getting worse by the day and these types of clowns continually play the rowdy circus crowd circuit. They seem to have an excuse for everything, criminal records don't matter, the police planted turn in guns, gang membership is irrelevant, corner's findings are irrelevant, police have to be lying, its all one big conspiracy theory in an effort to keep the poor man down. This is the type of insanity previews and lunatic masses the media and politicians salivate on.
Well, were just plain tired of hearing your mouth full of loud whacked excuses.
Look for the smiling faces on some of these clowns, all their missing is the painted face makeup.

DALEY RE-OPENS SEARCH CHICAGO POLICE SUPERINTENDENT 122 DAYS SERIOUSLY AMISS
" Daley said he resolved "to be extremely careful and deliberate in selecting his successor."
Poster who said from the very beginning, "Something is Seriously Amiss" and counted down the number of days, since we have been without a Police Superintendent. We have reached 122 days now. Today Daley re-opened his search for a new top cop but wants the three front runners Grau, Williams both insiders and Belfiore an outsider, names to still remain under consideration. This is an unusual move even for Daley, so what might be blowing in the wind?
Since Al Sharpton has placed his cross hairs not only on Daley but importantly on the Chicago Police Department. Were thinking, Mayor Daley already being challenged openly by Sharpton in the news, is probably anticipating the incoming potential for days of loud disorderly street demonstrations, bordering on the potential for civil unrest. Sharpton already has his sights on Burge and other Officer's in the news. These demonstrations or incite to riot call outs, are set up by Sharpton and his clan, which often includes the revised militant gang radicals, the New Black Panthers.
There's nothing new about Sharpton's claim to fame. Baiting Police and trying the patience of Mayors while disrupting law abiding citizens. He just completed a stint in New York. 50 shots was the theme fired by Police, where loud disturbing demonstrations and marches lasted for days. The civil unrest set up by Sharpton, was over self defense shots being fired by Police during the Bell incident. Bell, after leaving his Bachelor party after a night of partying, where a fight had escalated from inside the bar to the street, between Bell's group and another man. A friend of Bell's claimed he was going for his gun inside the car. Police under survillance due to numerous prior problems at the bar, became involved in the incident. Bell in an attempt to flee from the police, not only rammed his car into a police car but tryed to run over an Officer who was trying to get Bell to stop, all this happened just prior to the self defense shots being fired by NYPD. Which ended up in, Bell being killed by NYPD. Sharpton and his militant clan concentrated on the number of shots fired in a short time during the self defense action.
Sharpton's use of the radical demonstrations, resulted in a white and a Hispanic detective facing criminal manslaughter charges and a third, who is black, being charged with reckless endangerment. Two other officers were cleared of criminal charges. The fiancee of Bell, Nicole Paultre Bell, and two of Bell's friends involved in the shooting, seek unspecified damages in the suit. It accuses all five police officers of recklessness and negligence for firing at Bell and his two friends outside a strip club where they were holding a bachelor party.
Sharpton is known for civil unrest while trumping accusations of racial discrimination. His real specialty, inciting allegations of Police brutality which he often rolls into one, and this time its to fall on Chicago's Police, streets and City Hall. Dana Starks is now pinned as the temporary head, a buffer if you may and the position of a term serving Police Superintendent will remain vacant. That is unless Starks is able to pull a rabbit from his hat. Just our take of politics in Chicago. Officer's be forewarned your job has now become even more dangerous and challenging. Stay safe, your backs will not be shielded by that vest and your every move will be scrutinized, under a very large microscope. Sharpton is supported in kind by many Democrats, including those running for President, Chicago's own Obama and New York's Hillary Clinton just to name a few.
