Family Secrets Trial
- Federal prosecutors have targeted individual Outfit street crews and their leaders in the past, but Family Secrets will essentially put on trial the structure and enterprise that was the Chicago mob during the last few decades.
- Observers are calling the case the most important involving the Chicago mob since Lombardo and three bosses were convicted in 1986 of skimming millions of dollars from a Las Vegas casino.
We're really hoping for a few political blockbusters to be detonated during the trial. Just to see how interwoven Chicago politics are with Chicago mobsters will truly be an eye opener to those who don't remember their local history.
We're also expecting, though not looking forward to, a number of Police department references to be blasted across the front pages. At least one retired cop has been named in the indictments and who knows when Harhardt's name will start appearing.

don't worry, certain secrets will remain. have you read the DC madams client list yet?
How come the G can only catch outfit guys after they have been active for over 40 years? Is there no information on the young turks running organized crime right now?
With all these ghetto bangers & terrorists running around here, we'll
all sure be alot safer w/these 70 & 80 year old greaeballs lockedup!!
I liked it alot better when THEY were running things.
Off Topic, but important
A member of a cop's family posted this suggestion on the American Express Member's Project. This will provide up to a 5 Million dollar grant a worthy idea. So if you have an why not this one which will benefit the Chicago area.
If you have an American Express Card, please log onto www.americanexpress.com and vote for this one. It was posted on 6/15/2007 under the Health and Fitness category and titled, Breast Cancer Early Diagnostic Project. Thanks.
Goals: To set-up a non-profit corporation in Chicago to provide women of the Chicago area with low-cost, in some cases no cost, early breast cancer diagnostic services in a pleasant, inviting setting. Then to provide the diagnosis to the clients and to their medical providers via digital means. Method: To acquire land, build, equip and staff free standing mammogram and MRI diagnostic centers in easily accessible locations in Chicago. This may help to stem the trend of insurance companies which are cutting expenses by eliminating diagnostic test such as regular mammograms for women at risk of breast cancer. When the non-profit corporation is established, corporate donations can be sought not just of cash, but also expertise, land and use of the services provided for their employees and dependents. This could eventually expand to other cities, and even have mobile exam vehicles for rural areas and breast cancer events.
P.S. One of the ideas that goes along with this, but not posted by American Express is to have this co-sponsored by Oprah Winfrey and Mrs. Maggie Daley. Whether you like them or not, this is a worthy project for Chicago and put forth by a cop's family.
Stay Safe, in everything
Seems the mob's got the same problem as you clouted super secret unit guys that are working the "grey" areas:
NOBODY'S CARRYING THEIR OWN WATER ANYMORE..............
Remember in the early 80s, when that Copper got jammed up for making silencers for "da boys"?
I dont know what kind of Copper he was, but I heard he was a hell of a
machinist.
The interesting question that remains to be answered is who will become the new expert on the "mob" from the ranks of CPD.
Wayne Johnson has removed himself from consideration after being the Chief of Police in Cicero when "Fast Eddie" held sway.
Bill Callahan is now in business with the daughter-in-law of Willie "Potatoes" Daddano.
Who can take their place?
and will any city officials get caught up ,loss their jobs, or get indicted,,,??? naaaa
Will daley be mentioned? After all he runs the biggest criminal enterprise in history with all his cronies lets hope so and that he is indicted SOON!
I worked PR Fest this weekend. Who is 1468? Just a couple suggestions, stay off the radio and stop thinking your a big boss. I can't stand people who love to hear themselves talk on the radio. Must need to validate himself, especially with that Napoleon Complex he has.
Off TOPIC
The Supreme Court ruled Monday, that passengers, like drivers, have a constitutional right to challenge the legality of police decisions to stop cars in which they are traveling.
That's just great...

I would never be able to get on board with anything Maggie Daley is involved with, as she has run non profit groups in the past, yet always takes a large paycheck.during 2006 she had an income of over 400 Hundred thousand from these groups. Along with her shaky deals at the airport stands? Maggie Daley does not have credibility. She can be very nasty to the police.
You apparently never heard 921 of 009 on the radio. He must love to hear himself talk? He's constantly on it!!!! Get off the radio already!

is he a LEGAL? or ILLEGAL? hard to understand!

About the PF fest.
Here is just how dumb the brass is. They send north side cars (including 013 and 014) to 011 for help with Garfield Pk. But then they send the whole 1168 team to the PR Fest in 014!
What the hell do are these people thinking?????
Did Puerto Rico once belong to Cuba? I see that their flags are the same pattern but the colors are switched?

You think he's bad? Listen to half-wit 1499 on the midnights. Despite having the most ineffectual position on the watch he dominates traffic on Zone 3. He has yet to learn how to keep a low profile despite recent events.

MOB= DALEY= POLITICAL POWER= SILENCE
if the "G" does ever get Daley, he will be about 110 yrs. old when they get him, at the rate the "G" moves.
As a Taxpayer, I don't like paying for a week of free security compliments of the CPD at the Puerto rican Fest, or any other Fest, I don't cre if it's an Irish fest, Polish, Black, etc. This should be handled by off-duty cops and not paid for with the taxpayers dollars. The CPD should be in the hoods policing and protecting. Not babysitting.
Hanhart was the Mob's guy and on their payroll since day one. The only criminals he had locked up were the one's the mob told him to arrest. He covered himself well until he finally got caught. I hope he roasts in hell.
Isn't 1468 the meritorious no personality having Joe Dejesus?? What a stroke.

True ask any of her drivers she is demanding and very condescending to her drivers and other officers! The airport deals yep at O'Hare she gets a cut from her black lady friend that miraculously has all the no bid news stands at o hare last year her friend profited 40+ MILLION! Nice to be queen!

"921 of 009"? Dumb nuts, did you believe we would think your were talking about 921 from another district?
2:37 PM (JERRY ARDOLINO)
Is this some kind of joke or what? I checked your Web site. Aside from being delusional, who the fuck are you? So you worked the mean streets of 017 in the mid-70's. Awesome credentials.

What did Risley tell the feds about the clique that hung out at Joe's tailor shop on Central & Milwaukee? Any FAMILY SECRETS?
330 on midnights is the worse. I never heard a boss use the radio so much in my life. That and he repeats himself! God forbid someone has to call a 10-1 while he's on the air babbling!
OFF TOPIC: GET ALOAD OF THIS, ON THE 9 JUN 07, 5 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN THE EARLY MORNING IN THE 18th DIST. 3 at 1230 Burling and 2 others at a different location. I believe 1 of the victims died. The idiot commander of the 18th dist, is trying to push the responsibility of these shootings on 4 officers who were working CHA special on the 3rd watch on the 8 Jun 07, these shootings occurred at approx: 0200 hrs Sat. morning, these officers were long checked off. This idiot commander states that because a party was going on at 1230 burling, this loud music party was allowed to flourish it carried over to the midnights and that is why the gang banger shot at the people.He also stated that the officers allowed large groups of gang members to enter.I talked to one of the officers on the afternoons,who was there, and know him to be the real police. This guy told me what really happened, the only call they received was a domestic dist. which they handled, yes there was a music party going on, but everything was peaceful, there were no calls about loud music, and as this officer stated to me, hey were not the Nazi police, breaking down doors, because someone wants to listen to music, since when is against the law to play music.About letting gang members into the building, who isn't a gang member, you tell me.The officer stated, that there is no way they would have allowed large groups of gang members to pass them, let alone congregate. This commander is playing the blame game, trying to shift the blame to others, because he is on the hot seat, because it is his district. Some interesting points, where were the gang teams of 18, where were the tact teams in 18, where were the housing cars assigned to 1230 burling ? INQUIRING MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW?
Everyone knows who the outfit's guy was, Drammis.

Yes, 1468 is J. DeJesus, the guy who has a bigger and better story to top anyone!
To 6/18/2007 10:59:00 AM
Heard Saturday afternoon on CW6
1400: put all street closures into effect around Humboldt Park.
{90 seconds later}
1300: open up the streets to get traffic moving around the Park.
Dispatcher (trying to be tactful):
1300 do you want to mobile with 1400?
Did Daley's wife have a no show job with Aurther Anderson before they got caught stealing?
I heard on Friday that the Commander of 018 also sparred (sp?) the officers assigned to the Burling building on 3rd watch. This came from the watch commander. WTF??? now you have to worry about working your day off? I'm surprised people even show up to work CHA. This job is a joke.
Let's face it...the tact and gang teams of 018 have resisted going into the 'jects for years. Why change NOW? But you'd never know that to hear the Cmdr. of the DOC talk about them at the weekly DOC meetings. Area 3 seems to be the only area that he notices.
1468 Sgt Dejesus is not too bad, just serious. When I was in 014 on midnights about 12 years back he was a P.O. and one of the older officers on the watch. He hustled and was an active cop.
He trained a few cops when there was an shortage of FTO's. He taught Bobby Meyer the ropes. B.M. eventually ended up a Det. in A/5 and now is a Sgt. working midnights in Englewood. He is an outstanding officer, know doubt to Joe's influence. Joe trained quite a few guys who ended up being real good cops.
I stepped on my dick once, due to inexperience. The Sgt at the time, a real "old timer" was faced with having to take some uncertain action, which may have had unpleasant consequences for me. Instead he had Joe take me aside and show me the error of my ways.
It's called MENTORING. There isn't a lot of that on this Dept anymore!
Instead the bosses just what to stick-it-to-ya and protect themselves.
So he talks a lot on the radio. BIG DEAL. That's subjective anyways. Maybe you just have personality issues with him. I mean we all don't get along 100% of the time. Give him a break..HELL, you may need one yourself one day.
I haven't seen him in years, I would not even consider him a friend, but I respect him. There are people on this job I HATE, but I still credit them if they deserve it.
Dulay was okay too..hard, but fair!
RICK MADEJA WAS THE PO THAT MADE THE SILENCERS FOR DA BOYS. DID ABOUT 3 YEARS IN THE JOINT. GETS OUT AND WORKS FOR GUN WORLD FOR A FEW WEEKS! GREAT MACHINIST.
Dulay was okay too..hard, but fair!
This guy is one of many story tellers. First of all the Sgt is a softball goof(tells me a lot about you) and second Chuckie Dulay is indeed a bully prick that will throw you under the buss in a minute. We the good guys in patrol can't wait until he retires. Dulay is a company man and a pussy.

was it not mara that took the stand in federal court and had no knowledge of anything in hired truck? and no knowledge of anything daley ever did! she acts like a 3rd grade student! just sit while the mayor pets you on the head mara and have your brother tell you it is all ok your a "good girl"!
As far as anyone mentoring someone today it is hard to mentor someone when they already know every thing.
The group that hung out at the tailor shop included:
Matt L. Rodriguez
George Ruckrich
John Cadogan
Frank Radtke
Ron Jablon
Bob Guthrie
Danny Sampila
Risley could not say what happened inside because he was not part of the "cool gang" as they did allow geeks!
a family secret never released before: rainbow the clown & jim carroll are related. true story!
Question? I have heard that the Chicago mob, though still active, is nowhere near the force that it used to be. The old leaders are either dead, in jail or currently on trial and the young turks on the way up don't have the clout or the brains of the old timers. Is this true? Will someone who knows care to comment?

Dulay is senile. He is a political hack, washed up. He will be gone in November, not soon enough. He is suing for every penny possible. Cares for no one and would burn anyone not connected.
The Daleys only have fundraising events for womens issues like Breast Cancer and have NEVER donated their time and names for any mens health issues. Two REAL PHONIES. Enough said.
to 11:38 am ; as our department never furnishes us with any information on mob organized crime, never arrests anyone for it, etc; we really don't know who to ask.

Hey now he also has fundraisers for himself and what about all the "private" fundraisers where the envelopes are given you know like 35th and michigan HQ the building was built like shit! The floors tilt, the doors in the winter by loading dock won't shut so wind blows right in, the bathroom on the 2nd floor broke the ceiling in the medical section as water pipes burst and down comes a flood, how many bathrooms have toilets that do not work and faucets made so cheap they break, what about when it rains the illegals hired rush out with squeegees to keep water from flooding the first floor! where did the money go to build it properly?
Cmdr Dulay was one of the better Capts. I have had the pleasure of working for during my career. Was he hard? YES! But if you worked, you never had to ask for anything.
But if you were a dog, then you knew better than to come to him and ask him to go out of his way for you. And guess what? That's the way IT SHOULD BE.

.......Hmmmm. Can't be the same Unit 253 (AKA - TRU) that shows up in 010 every night with 8 PO's leading their 2 drinking on the public way arrests into the lock-up. Wait, I apologize. Sometimes it's one arrest for a false temporary permit being led by 10 PO's into the lockup. You're most welcome to bid into 010 where you can learn how to be the police, then make some actual good arrests, and then you'll be able to talk smack about the REAL po-leece.
restores my faith in the clown community.
Unless you can prove my buddy is a clown you keep your mouth shut.
Federal money = Minority contractors, that's why nothing works right at 35th street.
walsh construction did the work on headquarters building so dont go blaming that shit on minority contractors, jagoff!
In case you havn't figured it out maggies a drunk.
Hey asshole, Walsh was the general contractor but all, I mean all the subs were minority contractors. Walsh tried their best to get everything corrected that needed correction but the minority contractors threatened to screem discrimination against Walsh. Same old shit in Chgo. with minorities!!!!!!
