There’s a lot more but I want to really get to another important point that hasn’t been focused on – ever! What I see is the involvement of the owner ownership is part of what the family is involved in. To me, it’s a given 100%. In other words, if it looks like a Duck and walks like a Duck, it’s a Duck!

But the real question that needs to be asked is where did the money go?

The family’s specialty is laundering into property with Big Banks. What I personally know is there is a huge system setup here just to service the laundering system that includes so many people it’s unbelievable. I know there is a large group of people involved in securing their laundering system that includes a wide assortment of criminal activities including murder that’s made to look like an accident.

Included are the Newspapers. The family talked often about the Tribune AND Sun-Times being involved but how I wondered. That was until I made attempts to talk to reporters and tracked existing Investigations that seemed to end when it should have continued. By the way, Chiquita is/was owned by the Sun-Times!

The family is part of this system with “Clyde O’Conner” being busted late last year in Mexico. He’s still at large and the family and his family live in the Chicago area.

There’s a lot more but clearly to me, this is part of a huge CIA effort. But what’s missing is the effort to surface the laundering system that supports it, because my efforts thus far have been BLOCKED!
