Was Chicago Mayor Harold Washington MURDERED When His Proposed Commodity Transaction Tax Threatened "National Security" -- and Bush/Secord/Singlaub/CIA Money-Laundering?

* Originally addressed to Don Allen


The BCCI/BNL connection to Chicago is perhaps the most interesting of all. Practically everything we know came from the BNL *Atlanta* branch -- NYC Attorney General Morgenthau has investigated the N.Y. branch somewhat.  But Chicago has miraculously escaped scrutiny.  The reason may be none other than Dan "Rosty" Rostenkowski.  Read on...

Were interlocking Commodity Trading Accounts in Chicago used for drug/arms money laundering?  This operation was supposed to be run out of Chicago.  Dan Rostenkowski is supposedly UP TO HIS NECK in this, as are Secord, Singlaub, Leonard Millman, JP Nichols, and others.

Word is (and this is unconfirmed) that mayor Harold Washington blundered into the middle of this operation when he proposed a transaction tax on Commodity trades in Chicago.

Mayor Washington's proposed tax would have revealed the actual goings-on in the money laundering scheme, because the Online Transaction-Processing (OLTP) software used by the Commodity Clearing Corporation and all licensed Commodities Brokers would have created a usable audit trail in the tax records.

When Mayor Washington pressed for this tax, with several loyal black aldermen, FEDERAL INTEREST in Chicago City Gov't grew dramatically.  Several of his alderman supporters were entrapped by Justice Dept. agents via bribery stings and other charges.

Washington, you may recall, died after suffering a seizure as he started to drink a cup of coffee.  The coffee spilled on the rug of his press room, and two "technicians" showed up not long afterward and removed all of the carpet stained by the coffee. The coffee was NOT prepared by Washington's kitchen staff, who were told to take the morning off by "someone else".

When he suffered the seizure, Washington was not taken to a nearby emergency room, but instead was rushed to a "Seizure Clinic" that is directly linked to a Federal District Court judge who has figured in numerous National Security cases and has connections to the "intelligence community" and -- believe it or not -- to people involved in RELIGIOUS BROADCASTING and OVERSEAS ATTACK HELICOPTER SALES.  The experts at the "Seizure Clinic" diagnosed Washington's seizure (inconclusively), conducted an autopsy (in



conclusively) and completed the death certificate (inconclusively).

Personally, I suspect a neurotoxin -- nerve gas, in other words, which exists in liquid form.  Old-fashioned Tabun nerve-agent produces seizure-like symptoms -- and today's state-of-the-art neurotoxins would be fatal in extremely small quantities.

Best,
  Clark
