Blagojevich Got His Start as Bookie, Paid Chicago Mob
- Text size
Infowars
Kurt Nimmo
December 18, 2008
ABC News in Chicago is reporting that Rod Blagojevich got his start in politics as a bookmaker on Chicago’s Northside. “The ABC7 I-Team has learned that an attorney who went undercover for the FBI in the late 1980’s says he told federal authorities years ago about wrongdoing by Blagojevich,” the news station reports. “When I was working with government wearing wire, I reported, I observed Rod, the present governor, who was running a gambling operation out in the western suburbs. He was paying street tax to the mob out there,” said Robert Cooley, federal informant.
He told ABC7 that Mr. Blagojevich regularly paid a so-called street tax to Robert “Bobby the Boxer” Abbinanti, a convicted outfit gambling collector. In the early 1980’s, Abbinanti was working for convicted West Side mob boss Marco D’amico. Bookies pay street taxes to the crime syndicate in exchange for being allowed to operate such a racket.
It makes perfect sense Blagojevich attempted to sell Obama’s Senate seat to the highest bidder. “I predicted five years ago when he ran the first time that he was a hands on person who would be selling every position in the state of Illinois and that it exactly what happened,” said Cooley.
“The biggest problem you have now and reason for what is happening is that the people in power have money and ability to silence the media so it will never be reported and as long as you have that going on, you will never stop it.”
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
It is not so much that the media is silenced, rather the corporate media is in on the scam. It covers for endemic government corruption that has tainted all sectors, from the California Highway Patrol assistant and deputy chiefs claiming disability at retirement to inflate their pensions to $50 billion of the taxpayers’ money spent each year on Medicaid fraud, waste and misuse in New York. All of this pales in comparison to the latest shake down by the banksters as they raid the Treasury and crank up the debt owed by Americans for generations to come.
Getting rid of big government corruption was part of the founding principles of America. The corrupt British monarchy was unfairly taxing and shaking down the colonialists and using them as a meal ticket to finance their wars. More than two hundred years later, the American government has embraced corruption and fine-tuned it in ways the monarchy never imagined.
Blagojevich’s connection to the Chicago mob is not surprising. But when you think about it, the corruption in Chicago is small potatoes when compared to the larger corruption of the U.S. government. It runs a massive shake down and protection operation every April 15. If you agree to fork over around half of your income to various government operations — federal, state, and local — these governments promise not to arrest you and throw you in a jail cell with murderers, rapists, and drug addicts. The Chicago mob couldn’t even hope to do this.

hmm why are we suprised by this? Hmm a politician is a criminal thats become the norm years ago. politician = criminal now days.

Just another story in a long line of stories in Illinois politics. what are there now…………(3) former Illinois governors in jail for corruption? They should name a cell block after these guys. It’s fairly obvious in this country nowadays that politicians are merely spokesmodels and frontmen for the real ones that run things.

The mafia is also being hurt in these financial crisis time.
We should give them a handout and nationalize them as well.
They could help the Banksters with learning how to cook the books better.
They all ready help our politicians and protect the people just like Bush did.

Some disgusting people often turns up in high political places. They are often psychopaths. It’s rare to sense that a political leader is mature and not only focused on his own material needs.
December 18th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Blagojevich is the very height of corruption America has to offer. I know this because my TV box tells me so. Patrick Fitzgerald only tries to bring down the biggest criminals so we can be sure there are no higher evils. If there are larger evils, our TV boxes will let us know. Back to sleep until then.

The moronic narcissistic egos of NYC and DC “elite” are so ridiculous they will ruin the world before ever being honest with themselves.

#7 bunny, where did your comment stem from? The conquering black tribes in Africa gathered up their fellow Africans to sell to the traders and ship off to other countries.
Why don’t you go jump they ass?
Are you unaware that whites were also slaves in Europe? It’s been done to every nationality that has ever been on the face of the earth.
GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON, IT”S ANCIENT HISTORY FOR ALL OF OUR FORE-FATHERS.
You can’t outrun the NWO by looking backward.

#7bunny why do black people think they are the only race ever hung from a tree like they need sympathy? in the dark ages people were hung or tortured in creative torture devices for being witches or anything other than normal. complaining about what diservice was commited to a paticular race in the past to gain sympathy only worked for jewish people so get over it.

just think of how corrupt state government can be and they have someone to answer to.wonder how corrupt u.s. government is who do they answer too?
December 18th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Ok, so Blagojevich was mafia…he became governor of Illinois…he sold seats on the Senate….but no-one considered that it makes sense that an illegal alien from Kenya with a background shrouded in mystery became an Illinois Senator?
Why the government keeps blocking any investigation into Barry Soetoro’s REAL background?
The mob has taken over the country.

its ironic that batman was filmed in chicago, i guess chicago is gotham, ha ha ha WHY SO SERIOUS!!!!!?????
December 18th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
anyone here ever watched The Wire ?
December 18th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Does anyone think Obama is directly involved?
December 18th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
The best way to see if Obama is involved is to see if they try to sweep this under the rug or not.
If they hush this up, then Obama was likely involved in some way.
If they hang him out to dry, then Obama was not exposed enough to have to worry if he was in fact involved.
If this guy should meet his maker for some unforseen reason, then someone was afraid he would try to negotiate his way out of the mess he is in by telling mob secrets about Barry Soetoro and others in Illinois state gov and their mob connections.
That’s how I see it.

good heavens, how can anyone not know that chicago, and thus the state of illinois, is a international den of thieves. it is an economic gateway, and every axle must pay tribute to the city in passing, comming and going. it is a city that is under the sway of the rockefellers via the occult university of chicago, and all its manifold outlets. the next education secretary may well be a man who was raised by college professors, in rockefeller prep schools. and how can this be? simple; MAKE TRADE IN CONSUMER GOODS ILLEGAL, FOR THEN ONLY BLOODTHIRSTY CROOKS SHALL BE THE SHOP KEEPERS, AND THE PAYMASTER OF POLITICIAN.

Anyone who doubts that the mob is alive and well need only look at this linked story and ask yourself what local government is run like this?

A hint: It is one of the “mob triangle states” Pa. or N.Y. or N.J.

I know that this isn’t the article in which to be placing this comment, but I felt that is was important nonetheless. I was listening to Alex yesterday when he was interviewing Tex Marrs. They arrived at the subject of luciferian hand signs and the Codex Magica. It was stated that world leaders and corporate CEOs often give this certain hand sign. I also know that Alex and many of us are Ron Paul supporters. However, I did a little investigating, and Mr. Paul flashes the same hand sign over and over. Here is the proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x6inINzThw I would like Alex to address this fact.

#20 Anom Alli:
Dude, have you not heard Ron Paul is 73 yrs old with arthritis in his hands? Check out how gnarled his knuckles are. They are very painful, and he cannot straighten out his hands because of it. He has admitted this on air-Alex Jones show, to name one, as has his son admitted it about his Dad.
Wait til you are that old, or contract any arthritis. I have Rheumatoid, and cannot flatten out my hand either. It is painful all the time.
Try another attack, TROLL! And quit spreading this lie about Ron all over the site.

Rod is married to the daughter of a longtime Chicago Alderman. The Roman Catholic Jesuit machine runs Chicago Mob and IL. This is the most corrupt state. Former Gov George Ryan is in jail and maybe Blago will join him? If the communist agent Obama is exposed maybe the 3 could room together? See http://WWW.OBAMACRIMES.COM The NWO is run by the Illuminati. One should read the book the Secret History of Jesuits by Edmund Paris. I believe it is out of print and copyright. I can email it to anyone by contacting me at Soul_bro2@comcast.net The NWO will perish in hell with these Jesuit Dogs.

Is this true? We need to get this Rahm guy out of our government or else our country is going to dedicate it’s last breath to Israel.

Another one of the obama nazi got busted today here in NYC. please do a search you will see another crack down on the Obama friend connection…
December 19th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
He was the only Governor to stand up to the Banksters….
They have been framing people for years!
It is possible….
December 19th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Who says it wasn’t because the banksters were refusing to PAY TRIBUTE to the mob that he stood-up to them?
And as far as setting him up, they would have had to be psychic according to the article…they started ’setting him up’ in the 80s’!
And then there is Barry the Kenyan Soetoro…another coincidence?
This guy is so surrounded by coincidence that Ripley wouldn’t believe it!!!
December 20th, 2008 at 12:02 am
I will grant you though that the timing is rather curious…someone was walking around with this info for 20 years and nothing was done about it until now.

Update: Ill. Gov. Blagojevich pledges to fight, won’t quit
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....s_governor
CHICAGO – A combative Gov. Rod Blagojevich served notice Friday that he has no intention of quitting over his corruption arrest, declaring: “I will fight. I will fight. I will fight until I take my last breath. I have done nothing wrong.” The forceful three-minute speech marked the first time the former amateur boxer directly addressed the allegations since his arrest 10 days earlier.
With it, he made it clear that removing him could be uglier and more drawn-out than anyone imagined just a week ago, when the governor’s career appeared to be in its final hours and nearly the entire political establishment seemed to be holding a death watch.
