Global Daley - Quo Vadis, Richie?

Anyone in the third generation waiting in the wings to carry on the family franchise? Some thought that Rich Daley’s son, Patrick, with his military and business background, was the guy. In the meantime, that franchise has morphed from politics to business—business that benefits from Rich’s mayoral connections. With his father and his father’s former mayoral chief of staff, Patrick helps to run TUR Partners, which bills itself as a “global investment and advisory firm” with “dedicated practices” in the US, China and Russia. Doing business in the latter two countries may not be the best preparation for running a successful campaign for political office. Chicago Magazine

The Clinton Foundation is one of many hedge fund vaults, where mega-charities, corporations and plutocrats can suck up the wealth of the world and keep world watch cable news.

It is one vault.

The Clinton's owe quite a bit to Chicago and the Daley Family.

Post - mayoral Richie Daley is as visible as the Lucas Museum these days,

He is busy.

Not only is Richard M. Daley a 'perfesser' at University of Chicago's Harris Schoolof Business, but also a Master of the Universe 'stacker of wheat and player with railroads' and Chinese and Russian opportunities.

Such opportunities are denied to most Meteors from the great school over by IIT and big cop house, but they are wide open to Global Visionaries.

You see, Chicago and the United States of America have become Banana Republics - oligarchies. Under the globalist method wealth makes a few people very wealthy, erases the middle class and increases the number of poor people.

I think ordinary.  I wondered about this headline teaser in the Wall Street Journal, " Why did Hillary’s State Department urge U.S. investors to fund Russian research for military uses?"

Why, I wonder if Bridgeport-born globalist Richard M. Daley urgently invested the investments of TUR and Daley Tang partners in the land of Borscht and money.

When I read the Wall Street Journal article this morning, I did not immediately think of Hillary Rodham Clinton.   I thought of Richard M. Daley.  He is a globalist visionary.  In fact, this past June, one Daley's global businesses Tang Partners bought IM Global. IM Global is huge and Daley's partner Donald Tang is huge.

Donald Tang was previously chairman and CEO of Bear Stearns Asia. Following that he was founder of Daley & Tang Partners, a venture formed with former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley to facilitate cross-border transactions. TMP recently appointed veteran Chinese-American director and producer Janet Yang (executive producer on “The Joy Luck Club,” producer of “The People Vs Larry Flynt”) to a senior executive role.
The relationship with TMP is expected to provide IM Global the capacity to raise substantial further capital that will lift it beyond the ranks of leading film industry independents and site it among the league of corporate independents that includes Lionsgate, Entertainment One and Studiocanal.

That's Hollywood Folks!  You won't see Matt Damon nailing a plateful of hash browns at Schallers Pump, but you can bet he's welcome!

Brideport was home to Lithuanian, German, Polish, Mexican, Croatian and Irish and now more Chinese.  Daley has set up opportunities for globalists, who might not live in Chinatown, or Bridgport to invest in Red China and Russia.  Russia is huge to the Daley interests.  In fact as there is Daley Tang, so too Daley TUR.

I wonder.  Will Wikileaks reveal sharp as tacks Bridgeport global ventures?

That would be extraordinary.  But,  what does that mean to an ordinary guy?

A Banana Republic of America Is What Pope Francis Warns Against

Corporate statism or state corporatism is a political culture and a form of corporatism whose adherents hold that the corporate group which is the basis of society is the state.

"I spent 33 years and 4 months in active service as a member of our country's most agile military force--the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was part of a racket all the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all members of the military profession I never had an original thought until I left the service." General Smedley Darlington Butler 1881-1940

All of the loudest critics of Pope Francis from the Right, Conservatives, GOP Tassled Loafer Go-Alongs, Bow-Tied TV Chirpers and Pot Smoking and Growing Libertarians have one thing in common - they are dead wrong.

Pope Francis is the native son of Argentina - A Banana Republic. Argnetina's last one hundred and fifty years has been an economic train wreck for most of its people.

The very few, oligarchs, do handsomely by staying close to surviving leaders of military coups, or corporation backed 'elected' officials.  A Banana Republic is corportion statism.

From 1899 through 1920's and 1930's, the United States Marine Corps sent officers, non-commissioned officers and enlisted men to build security around the governments of Haiti, The Dominican Republic and Nicaragua with idea of protecting American Interests ( United Fruit, Sugar, Mining and Banking Corporations) from the people they were looting and exploiting.

One of the most salty and on-spot critics of Corporate Statism was the Marine tasked with doing the protection, General Smedley Butler.  Butler wrote War is a Racket in 1935 and that book has in turn been exploited by the Leftists critics of America from Howard Zinn to Noam Chomsky. Ywo-time Medal of Honor recipient General Butler swrote, " Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

Name a so-called, government sponsored war and you will see that it is a racket - War on Poverty. War on Drugs, War on Terror and our War on Women's Health ( it ain't. it means abortion is murder).

Pope Francis seems to  have used the word capitalism to decry the exploitation of the middle class and especially the masses of poor people to whom he devoted most of his life as priest.  Immediately, George Will got his panties in a twist and then Hannity and the Mike Gallagher and then the three guys at the end of the bar.

Coporate Statism makes astounding fortunes for a very few, the lucky few, the wired-in few, the few who immediately flocked to President Barcak Obama's George Soros sponsored White House in 2008 and to a Seattle Conference of Corporate Statists no sooner than Pope Francis went wheels-up  to New York City yesterday.

Chinese President Xi Jinping addressed Silicon Valley’s titans, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos and billionaire investor Warren Buffet, in a closed-door conference in Wednesday.
At the event with America and China’s top business leaders, Xi vowed to work to remove barriers to foreign investment and improve intellectual property protections in a bid to crack down on his country’s rip-offs of US products.
But among those missing from the event was Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
In fact, representatives from the social media giant, Twitter and Google were all notably missing and it is telling that China currently blocks those companies’ websites.

That's Harsh, Mark!  Twitter the White House and get a solid!  Viola!

Well, President Banana Republic ( modelled on Chicago, Argentina and Haiti) invited Mark Zuckerberg to join the oligarchs with him greeting the Chinese Reds in split screen MSNBC Time!.

 

Mark Zuckerberg has a friend, not in Jesus, but in Barack.

Pope Francis challenged Congress to fight the very thing that is happening in the White House - coporate statism. He did not attack Free Enterprise. He attacked Coporate Statism.

How, do you think that Mussolini made trains run on time ?   How did an unemployable Austrian-born community activists in Bavaria manage to get IG Farben to build gas chambers for Six Million Jews and other undesirables?

Yep!  Ask Warren Buffet!

Don't ask General Smedley Butler, because he'll tell you, " I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested. During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

Obama hates the military.

Obama is not too happy with Pope Francis either.

“I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened perhaps as never before, from within and without. . . .  Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.”
