Good Day Jaclyn, This Is the Real Time Version of Why the Chicago Police Have an Ajax ICBM with Nuclear Warhead Pointed at You T Good Day Jaclyn, This is the real time version of why the Chicago Police have an Ajax ICBM with Nuclear warhead pointed at you there in your office at the DOJ. Science fiction? it is not. My brother Dan is an electrician who is responsible for the electronic operation of Sebring Nuclear Power Reactor (yellowcake). It is currently under investigation by the Chicago FBI as being operated by ISIS. In the old days of the Nixon administration Werhner von Braun and Don Rumsfeld operated a companionship with Frank Sinatra’s group and Sam Giancana/Tony Accardo’s Chicago Outfit. It was called Nike c-93 Chicago/Gary, and is a bermed missile complex with magazine (12 Hercules intercept rockets/20 Ajax ICBM’s) under the Skokie Lagoons at Tower and Forest Way drive in Winnetka, Six blocks from my house at 975 Spruce. When Don Rumsfeld returned from Iraq in 1985 as ambassador to Saddam for Ronald Reagan he told the President C-93 was deactivated with the rest of the Nike series left over from the Cold War. President Kennedy did not know Peter Peterson, Charles Percy and Don Rumsfeld, working for Nixon were hiding the dual component nature of the Ajax missiles there and he was engrossed in dialogues with Kreuschoff and Castro when it was decided that those were not his launch codes. They rightfully belonged to Werhner. Kennedy was removed by Sam Giancana’s people and in 1985 the decision was made by James Marcello that the Spilotro’s had too much dirt on Rummy, being a plumber and perpetrator of the theft of the Active Denial System currently in discussion. (FBI Chicago 2010-29397) My story has to do with Noah Seidenberg and Patrick Kreis of WPD operations and the murders of several of my close friends beginning with my brother Dan’s spouse’s adultery with Charles David Spohn who murdered his wife by strangling her with an extension cord while Jerilyn raped her to death. They then set the bed on fire. My brother and his wife were at the emergency room at Evanston Hospital when Claudia Spohn arrived, expiring in the Cook County burn unit 3 days later. She was buried in Lexington, KY or so her family thought because when the WPD flew to Lexington to do a rape kit the found the teeth of another victim in Claudia’s coffin. Frank Calabreese Sr., a noted juice loan shark and Outfit member working Winnetka participated in all three murders. Michael and Anthony Spilotro were killed on 6/14/86, and Claudia Spohn on 9/8/86. Charles Spohn was a participant at a Forest ave. sex club in Wilmette with many foreigners and police department employees, apparently as well government officials and Cartel warlords, Mafiosi and Nicholas Rumsfeld. Honeywell is a nuclear launch services Enfora GPS software/hardware manufacturer and there it is with telemetry services next door to Bruce Rauner and Don Rumsfeld’s house next door to my home in Winnetka at 975 Spruce St. (Federal Crime scene #6) I purchased my home in Winnetka in 1989 and my wife had to eyeball them at the bank because even then they had fudged on a percentage point on the mortgage between the time the agreement was made and the contract was printed on the computer. 1986 DeStefano/Spilotro-ISIS 2000 Omega NWO F. Stretzo and a man they call Archimedes Here is the assembled puzzle Here are the original 9 emails sent from the Power Office to you at the DOJ. Read the assembled emails and then the report at the end for the answer to civil unrest in Chicago, and my recommendations for restoring order. Good Day Jaclyn, I was so happy to hear from you concerning the investigation into CCDOC excessive force practices. My wife and I lived in Winnetka in a million dollar home and put our two children through the school system there. We were attacked at our residence by an "operator" using Active Denial System andEchellon hardware and software. We were incarcerated, humiliated, tortured and abused, terrorized, put through hell in the courts and libeled and slandered out of the village after paying $170,00.00 for Police and other municipal services. I was fortunate enough on one occasion to perceive the perpetrator with the equipment, and when I phoned Arlington, the response was immediate; "that was one of our units that was stolen from off-base by a rogue police transport unit and sold to the Mafia in Chicago." I have extensive training in military law enforcement including weapons training and asked if I could be of assistance in the matter. The response, again, was immediate, "Make it clear to the courts what happened to Lisa." To begin with I am sending as attachments a PDF file and a word document file. The perpetrators at the Winnetka Police Department have direct contact with James Marcello, Frank Calabreese Sr. (now deceased) and Michael Spilotro's (also deceased) people, I have knowledge of Frank Culotta and Salvatore Romano working out of the WPD. I will call after the month has wound down, and if you would be so kind if you could send me a number for support fax service. I am also sending you a PDF for quick reference on the current condition of legislation on the personal and police use of ACTIVE DENIAL SYSTEM non-lethal weaponry. Thank You Very Much for calling, James L. Corcoran [email protected] 328 Custer #1 922 Davis St. Evanston, IL 60201 (224) 307-3587 I will prepare and send a document intro package for my investigation soon. I have close to two hundred thousand documents on this case and 13 homicides. Attached: Winnetka Police Threat Chicago Outfit Cooking Protesters Alive Good day Jaclyn, The document manipulation by the WPD is the subject of this email. I, as a special ops commander/investigator, have collected in my pursuit of ISIS a series of unnerving issues surrounding the Skokie Courthouse activity focusing with particular clarity on Michael Spilotro and Frank Calabreese Sr. as found in Operation Family Secrets as Peter Basile of 2048 Highland of Wilmette, which was my neighborhood as a kid. I used to work for Michael Spilotro when I was a CREEP for Donald Rumsfeld who would drive me from precinct captain to precinct captain for me to drop off brochures, pamphlets or whatever the Nixon campaign for re-election was distributing. Michael Spilotro was a famous Hollywood character to gangsters from the Chicago Outfit being a plumber and an actor featured on Magnum PI as an FBI agent and a lifelong friend of G. Gordon Liddy and Robert Conrad as featured in "Will" the made for television movie on the life of Liddy. We miss things on a daily basis in law enforcement that could save lives. Notice the missing page from the PDF "DeLeo" attached. You would never know that Jimmy DeLeo was named in Operation Family Secrets as Purchaser of Patsy's, Spilotro's place, or the fact that James Marcello, his convicted killer was the real estate agent who sold it to Jimmy and James Banks. Or the fact that this association is courted by the Senate President of the Illinois General Assembly. Lisa and I were peaceably entertaining our art production studio when we, like I say, were attacked by a new technology in the hands of Mr. Calabreese, but also Lisa's lifetime friend Noah Seidenberg who appears in the police prosecution against me as a co- complainant with Patrick Kreis. I was charged with phone and e-harassment for essentially calling 911. Here are the transcript #'s from the prosecution of my wife and I from 2007 until we were evicted from our home of 17 years in a fury of nonsense that defies explanation.

The indictment charged them, along with other members of the “Chicago Outfit”—the long-running lineal descendant of Al Capone’s gang—with having conducted the Outfit’s affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity that extended from the 1960s to 2005 and included a number of murders, along with extortion, obstruction of justice, and other crimes. Calabrese and Marcello contended that the trial, which was scheduled to begin on June 19, 2007, would place them in double jeopardy, and so they moved the district court to dismiss the charges.

For the reasons set forth below, Lombardo’s objections must be overruled. I. LOMBARDO’S DOUBLE JEOPARDY ARGUMENT Lombardo argues that various sentencing enhancements discussed in his November 28, 2008, Pre-Sentence Investigation Report (“PSIR”) are barred by the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. See Doc. #1026 at 1-5, 20-24. A.

After a lengthy FBI-led investigation code-named Operation Family Secrets, FBI and IRS agents began arresting the defendants this morning in Illinois, Arizona and Florida. One defendant was found dead, apparently of natural causes, when agents went to arrest him this morning in Hampshire, Ill. The charges allege that the defendants, including two retired local law enforcement officers, are members of, or are in some manner associated with, “The Chicago Outfit,” a criminal enterprise also known as the “Chicago Syndicate,” and the “Chicago Mob.” Eleven of the defendants were charged with conspiracy, including to commit the murders and attempted murder, to further the Outfit’s illegal activities, such as loansharking and bookmaking, and to protect the enterprise from law enforcement.

  • Defendant Nicholas Calabrese at Trial Admitted His Involvement in a Number of Outfit Murders
    Case 1:02-cr-01050 Document 932 Filed 10/15/2008 Page 1 of 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ) ) No. 02 CR 1050 v. ) ) Judge James B. Zagel FRANK CALABRESE SR., et al. ) MOTION FOR IMPOSITION OF RESTITUTION This cause comes before the Court on motion of the United States for imposition of restitution, pursuant to the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act (“MVRA”), in the above-captioned matter against defendants Frank Calabrese Sr., James Marcello, Joseph Lombardo, Paul Schiro, and Anthony Doyle.1 For the reasons discussed below, these defendants are jointly and severally liable for a total restitution amount of $3,909,166.30.2 I. INTRODUCTION Defendants Frank Calabrese Sr., James Marcello, Joseph “The Clown” Lombardo, Paul “The Indian” Schiro, and Anthony “Twan” Doyle were convicted as a result of their criminal participation in a racketeering enterprise known as the Chicago Outfit. The charged conspiracy involved, among other categories of criminal conduct, the murders of 18 individuals. See Doc. #397 at 9-10. There is little dispute that these murders were part of the conspiracy, and were committed to advance the criminal objectives of the Chicago Outfit. Id. at 8. 1Defendant Nicholas Calabrese at trial admitted his involvement in a number of Outfit murders. That testimony, however, was given pursuant to the Court’s grant of immunity. Tr. 2299-2300. Moreover, with the exception of the murder of John Fecarotta, the information provided by Nicholas Calabrese to law enforcement was at all times proffer-protected. See Tr. 2870. The government is restricting the instant restitution request to victims who were not life- long associates/members of the Chicago Outfit; the Fecarotta homicide is therefore not part of the government’s calculations, and accordingly no restitution is sought as to Nicholas Calabrese.

    RECENT CASES CRIMINAL LAW — FIFTH AMENDMENT — SEVENTH CIRCUIT HOLDS THAT RICO CONSPIRACY CHARGES CAN PROCEED TO TRIAL DESPITE UNRESOLVED DOUBLE JEOPARDY CLAIMS. — United States v. Calabrese, 490 F. 3d 575 (7th Cir. 2007). Even before the Sopranos won their Emmys, organized crime fami- lies fascinated America and frustrated its law enforcement. From Al Capone and Frank Nitti to Bugsy Siegel and John Gotti, mobsters and their gangs have often ruled and bullied America’s major cities, raking in millions through criminal activity and illicit business. Seeking to solve this problem by strengthening the legal arsenal available to fed- eral law enforcement agents and prosecutors battling organized crime across the country, Congress in 1970 enacted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act1 (RICO) to combat the infiltration of organized crime into lawful business.2 Since its creation, RICO has simultaneously been hailed for its ingenuity and effectiveness and de- rided for its all-encompassing breadth.3 Critics have argued that such an overly broad statute unduly subjects defendants to double jeopardy, inappropriate prosecutorial discretion, and guilt by association.4 In spite of these criticisms, the Seventh Circuit, in United States v.
