G-8 CANCELED!!!

  • The G-8 summit will be held at Camp David, not in Chicago as had been scheduled.

    The White House announced the change in the following statement:

    "In May, the United States looks forward to hosting the G-8 and NATO Summits. To facilitate a free-flowing discussion with our close G-8 partners, the president is inviting his fellow G-8 leaders to Camp David on May 18-19 for the G-8 Summit, which will address a broad range of economic, political and security issues.

    "The president will then welcome NATO allies and partners to his hometown of Chicago for the NATO Summit on May 20-21, which will be the premier opportunity this year for the president to continue his efforts to strengthen NATO in order to ensure that the Atlantic Alliance remains the most successful alliance in history, while charting the way forward in Afghanistan."

    The 38th G8 summit was to be held in Chicago alongside the NATO summit, and was expected to draw thousands of demonstrators.

    Police officials estimated that 2,000 to 10,000 demonstrators were expected to show up for the overlapping G-8 and NATO summits. At least two major demonstrations were already planned for downtown during the summit, and organizers said they wanted to send crowds of marchers down Michigan Avenue in the middle of the day.

More details as they become available. But what a tremendous embarrassment to Rahm and McCarthy that the White House has zero confidence in their ability to host a major undertaking. The years of neglect and outright criminal dismantling of the Chicago Police Department have come home to roost.

Since the protestors won't get to be anywhere near Camp David, and NATO will still be held here, I would assume that the protestors will still come to Chicago. Why cancel a good time. Plans have already been made, tickets purchased, NATO will still be here, and protestors will have plenty of time to make sure that they are heard. Now, with G8 moving, Barry won't have to pony up for any protection money for G8. Way to go. We all know that Chicago is just rolling in extra cash.

We were over matched. It has been discussed all along on this blog, and they finally woke up and realized it. They kept saying 2000 to 10000 protesters, another lie. Everyone who knows anything about this or has done any research knows 25,000 protesters is a conservative estimate, with 50 to 100 thousand not out of the question.

I'm betting the Fed funds given to the city for security have already been spent in other places or found their way into the deep pockets of our politicians. So when it came time to actually really prepare (you know,actual equipment for the police)a collective 'oops' was heard throughout City Hall. You know what happened next: White House switchboard lights up, operator answers: 'White House', 'Oh yes Mr. Emanual, I will tell the President you called'

This is great news for CPD, protesters will still show up for the NATO meetings but no where near the amount that the G8 draws.

Holding the G8 at Camp David is a smart move, the security at that place is out of this world and I doubt any of these anarchists will breach any of the levels of security at Camp David.

What a blow to Rahm & McCarthy LOL

The thought of simultaneous RPG attacks on the hotels of the leaders of the 8 leading economies and no way of evacuating them is frightening. This is a signal that a major terrorist attack is aimed at our city along with the expected 100,000 protesters, usual shit heads, and grid lock. Might be good to get your kids/wife out.

Now we know why 9.5 was summoned to D.C. last week to meet with Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security. She told the tiny dancer that reports had been received that CPD was undermanned and under trained for the combined G8/NATO conferences. In order to avoid some head of state or prominent individual from one of the G8countries getting blown up or shot, they moved the G8 to a much more secure location. We will still have to deal with the portesters that will come for the NATO event but at least half will probably go to the Camp David area to protest. Big win for the citizens. Big kick in the pants for Rahmbo and McMouthy.

From a political standpoint scheduling these conferences in the President's hometown 6 months before the election was STUPID with a capital F.

The 1968 riots put Tricky Dick Nixon in the White House on his law and order campaign.

Mayhem from asshole anarchists would not have helped Obama in November. Of course if the GOP keeps up their "every sperm is sacred" campaign he may not need any help.

I just hope the NATO conference draws fewer protesters. Since Camp David is near DC perhaps the idiots will camp there.

My guess is the Secret Service realized that Chicago was not prepared for the G-8.

Obama gave Emanuel half a loaf here so Baby wouldn't hurl himself out the nearest window. Rahm has got to be shrieking now as it is. Stay clear.

Don't worry, fedgov will still help Baby with security.

Thanks to SCC and everyone who contributes -- I'm quite certain that the constant cry of "The Emperor Has No Clothes" regarding the Emanuel administration's incompetence helped to at least halve an unpleasant burden that the ordinary people of Chicago never asked for.

OT

Hidden in the hurricane:

http://www.suntimes.com/news/11080450-418/emanuel-on-infrastructure-trust-trust-me.html

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Monday his proposal to create a $1.7 billion “Infrastructure Trust” is not a license to either lease city assets or cherry pick projects to finance behind a veil of secrecy.

Because the trust would be set up as a 501 C-3, the tax designation for not-for-profit organizations, concerns have been raised about how transparent the selection process will be.

The Freedom of Information Act does not apply to non-profits. Neither does the Open Meetings Act or purchasing laws that require most construction contracts to be awarded to the low-bidder.

Nope, sorry boys and girls. The protesters have made too many plans to change them. The shit is still coming. Now they are going to be even more pissed because they are going to be screaming and there is going to be no one here to hear it other than us blue shirts. We were the decoy all along.

Don't go celebrating too soon. There'll still be more than enough mayhem to go around in May.

* NATO will still draw unprecedented numbers of protestors; many will be G8 'leftovers' who will be hanging out and starting shit because their travel and lodging itineraries couldn't handle the last minute changes to get to Maryland.

* The Crosstown Classic will soak up a decent amount of police resources, and the reality of the ghetto savages doing what comes naturally if the Bulls win around the same time will further deplete an already criminally understaffed department.

I wouldn't be heaping too much praise on the 'big thinkers' that will say this tactical move to keep protestors off balance was their plan all along. No, it's just that reality (kinda) is seting in now that enough people are finally seeing how dismal an idea this whole shebang was from the jump.

From just the law enforcement angle of the whole equation, someone seems to have figured out that CPD has grossly underrepresented (lied about) their true manpower numbers. Now let's add in the rumored 500-700 new retirees between now and then. Plus coppers injured during these fiascos depleting already-taxed district manpower levels post-summits.

So don't go buying airfare and tickets to Disney quite yet, as I'm sure there'll still be no 5/5B furloughs. The question I want answered is: WILL THE NEWLY CREATED TITLES/PROMOTIONS (with corresponding pay bumps) FOR THE CHOSEN FEW CLOUT HACKS STILL BE IN EFFECT??

Will we still need 3 (?) 'Liaison Of Goldstar Bossholes International Welcoming Posse' members as well as the handful of jagoffs in other various concocted 'support roles' to these mouthbreathers? Or were us Sheep not to notice these assholes will still be collecting tall cash for unneccessary, dreamt up positions?

Next up: partially rescinding the D-Unit closures when logistics and results prove to be miserable failures..

This is a massive show of no confidence from the G-8 members. Chicago is seen as an unsafe place for them to travel to.

I wonder if it was just one or more members that were going to pull out and that's what triggered the change?

Don't they realize that this is the sanctuary city? Ha.. maybe they do!

Thousands of illegal immigrants roaming the streets -- we don't know who they are -- where they are -- or what intention they have.

Me thinks that there is much more to this story in regards to security that we don't know yet. How do they say that again: "we've been getting a lot of chatter..." yeah ...you know the routine.

Even with the G8 gone, Nato summit will be here so there will be alot of po's needed for thjat and to protect the dignitaries. My guess is all or most of the federal help that we were going to get,(FBI, secret service, marshalls) will be headed for Camp David so there will still be plenty for the CPD to do.

Its what they wanted anyways! Now these protestor orgnaizations have to re-organize and re-structure themselves. Its kind of funny and maybe they should re-locate it again come April too!

I will tell you what: Any one of you that believes that thisdecision was made in the last couple of days, maybe you would like to buy a bridge too. Look at the facts. Why do you think the equipment and trainingnecessary to successfully handle this was coming as slowly as it was? Right, the powers that be were on the fence and leaning away from Chicago for G-8. Rahm and Barrack at some point finally coame to their senses and realized that what happened to the Democratic Party in 1968, a near unanimous election of NIxon, could just as easily happen again as a result of this. The only question I have is why did they wait this long to make the final decision? Could the answer be some late breaking intelligence information? Could it be that information revealed that the only sensible place to have the thing would be a secure facility like Camp David. The possibilities are endless. Unless some of the idiot protesters are really dumb, NATO will be a piced of cake.

Netanyahu Gives Obama Purim Scroll

By Jonathan Ferziger - Mar 5, 2012 4:26 PM CT

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave President Barack Obama a Purim Megillah scroll, which tells the story of how Jews prevailed over a plot to kill them in ancient Persia, which is present-day Iran.

"Netanyahu gave Obama the gift today during a White House meeting, two days before the Jewish holiday of Purim begins.

"The bulk of the discussion was on how to stop present-day Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, the Israeli leader said.

“Israel has succeeded in raising Iran to the center of our discussions,” Netanyahu told Israeli reporters in Hebrew following the meeting..."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-03-05/netanyahu-gives-obama-purim-scroll-on-ancient-persian-plot-during-meeting.html

It has pretty much been calculated that Israel cannot do the job by itself -- the numbers of planes needed, the distances involved, the resupply and refueling points, the types of ordnance needed are simply beyond them. Too many targets to hit, at least four.

Guess who's being asked to step in and donate huge ground-penetrating bombs and so forth.

Israel also just signed a 1.3 billion dollar arms deal with Azerbaijan, buying themselves a nearby friend.

Full moon time too...
