Meanwhile, you have not provided a single link. You began after I linked to the Rahm Emmanuel story. There are links to all the 9/11 stuff in the sticky.

But hey, here's a freebie: Mossad Truck Bombs on Sept 11


Ah. when I hear about "9-11 was an inside job" theories, i think "is a youtube documentary forthcoming?", and lo and behold! it is.

OK, but please continue to sidestep the issue (since you cannot refute it) on the appropriate sticky thread.

Rahm had nothing to do with 9/11, nor did the Mossad. To insist otherwise is a waste of everyone's time.

No one has claimed that Rahm had anything to do with 9/11, but what part of

did you not understand?

And why ask for links if you are not even going to look at them?

Of course, Menino has deemed it so. So who died and made you God?

Nice variation on "I can't be bothered...," by the way.

Quell Surprise! Rahm's biggest donors come from BigFin. To wit:

Quote:
The go-to executives for Chicago's next mayor are likely to be concentrated in the financial community, where Rahm Emanuel once worked and later mined for millions in campaign contributions.

Mega-donors like hedge-fund operator Ken Griffin and private-equity players like John Canning Jr. will have Mr. Emanuel's ear, succeeding Daley-era sounding boards such as former Aon Corp. Chairman Patrick Ryan and industrialist Lester Crown, who did not contribute the Emanuel campaign. Another money maven, Grosvenor Capital Management L.P. CEO Michael Sacks, who donated $105,000, is described as one of Mr. Emanuel's closest friends in corporate Chicago. The two men and their wives socialize.


There is also this little nugget at the end of the article entitled "Machine-Free." -- LULZ
Quote:
Having a friend at City Hall has traditionally put the mayor's supporters in line for contracts, tax breaks and other favors. Certainly some of the city's top corporations will seek to call in chits after executives organized fund-raisers for Mr. Emanuel, like one last fall at United Continental Holdings Inc. hosted by Chairman Glenn Tilton and attended by Boeing Co. CEO James McNerney and Walgreen Co. CEO Gregory Wasson.

But one of Mr. Emanuel's most-generous backers, disclaiming self-interest, says he gave $100,000�20 times any previous donation�in hopes that Mr. Emanuel will successfully grapple with the pension costs of the city's unionized workforce.


Dude donates 100k and claims disinterest yet Crains won't challenge such an assertion? They should know better, I should think. Though it is no surprise considering how the local media have been gushing of Rahm's candidacy and subsequent election win.
