The Slaughter of Cities* II


This book touched me on a deep personal level. It compelled me to look back on my life and rediscover the surrounding social issues whirling around me and the personal decisions I made as a young man in that environment of 60’s and 70’s social justice warrior/civil rights. I had a front row seat. It defined me more than I realized.

Our family moved to the Far Southside of Chicago, and St. Elephant’s parish, when I was 5 years old. Because of residency rules of city workers, teachers, police and fire employees, and my father being a police officer and my mother a clerk in the public schools, we had to reside in city limits. We did. We moved to the farthest point on the map from the Southside, and St. Cranberry of Elphesius parish, for the same reason the parishioners of Most Blessed Sacrament in Philadelphia moved to the suburbs –“because the niggers drove us out.”

Chicago was slaughtered, along with Philly, Boston and Detroit being highlighted in this meticulously researched and edited work. The mechanization of social engineering, whose hands were on the levers, who were traitors to their community in the process, and the cynical players belonging to the think tanks and elite foundations using the federal government to disperse unified groupings so they can continue the Master Plan of eugenics, atomization and alienation, ultimately control of all aspects of modern life.


The most aggrieved in this country, the ones crying for special favors at every turn, generations away from the initial injustice of forced displacement, namely the Jew and the Negro, never take responsibility for conspiratorial actions on their part – with the help of the duplicitous Quaker – in the Stalinesque ethnic cleansing of large swathes of real estate within big city America after World War II until Reagan. This part of the Plan was instituted by the Jew, like Louis Wirth and the social “scientists” from the University of Chicago, the Quakers with their self-righteous attitudes leading the block busting and the southern migrant, never urban, never responsible, taking ownership of whole established neighborhoods only to let them quickly decay. I am one of those millions of Wandering Irish American in diaspora looking for a parade. I have no other identity, it seems, after they got through with us. One thing the Irish do well is hold a grudge.

I went through eight years of grammar school at St. Elephants, Dominican nuns at the helm, from 1962 to 70. In 67-68 we had a great influx of new kids caused by the final wave of escaping families from areas of the city being destroyed for expressways, high rise public housing, or any other damn thing the government wanted to build. The Berman case decided by the Warren Court allowed eminent domain on a fast track, owning a house meant nothing in America anymore. The stories they brought melded with ours and as young teens we were inspired to defend our neighborhood and, especially, our park.

A black person didn’t play basketball in our park unless under police protection until well into the 80’s.


My father, Chicago Police Dept., used the word ‘nigger’ liberally. He hated them. As a father in the neighborhood, it wasn’t unusual. My mother, worked as a clerk in the Chicago Public School system, in Altgelt Gardens on the Southside. Our neighborhood was targeted next. You can see I had a unique perspective on the MLK/Marquette Park march, the Gage Park forced integrations finagled by the American Friends Service Committee, or Quakers, busing of children to other than neighborhood schools and the kerfluffle reactance to such a stupid idea. And in the backdrop of all this, the Vietnam War, King Riots and 68 Democratic Convention were viscerally taken in. This is when I came of age. Dr. Jones explains to me who were the men behind the curtain and life why it went as it did.

One person Dr. Jones could enlighten me on is Rev. Francis X. Lawlor, pastor of St Poco de Flores, a few parishes over from Elephant’s. He was mentioned in passing, I’d like to learn more about him. He was a priest who fought for his parishioners, fought the real estate sharks, and fought the redlining government policies of FHA loans where an indigent tenant farmer could get a home loan for 100 dollars with some military experience. He was a leading Catholic voice against the ethnic cleansing in Chicago, eventually winning the alderman seat in that ward. Alas, the city was rolled over by the G, grassroots campaigns didn’t stand a chance. He was a far cry from the phony Fr. Michael Pfleger, pastor at Our Lady of the Soup Kitchen, that Chicago Catholics are stuck with now.



In all these cities stories it still is amazing to me how quickly the Catholic Church leadership, its Cardinals and Archbishops, allowed the destruction, in fact ably helped the process of parish destruction. Perhaps, young men like me saw how a weak, full of bluster, stand for nothing, organization can lose membership very quickly. In finding myself as a young man, I did what many young men do and totally repudiate their fathers. So, I tended to drift over the more liberal, Quaker infused religion of Love Your Neighbor Even When He’s Taking Your House mentality. The pacifist, never fight back, milquetoast loser ethic – but Catholic, nonetheless. And then the manipulated priest boy diddling PR campaigns started, and they were toast. What exactly do they do but offer community and they buckled under first weight. Not the Parishioners, the leadership was corrupt and pitiful.

In Detroit, the destruction of Poletown reads like it’s a story from communist Russia. The Polish Catholics were a horse of a different color. Unlike the Irish who were seduced with the potential of upward class mobility and suburban living, the Polish were connected with language the rulers didn’t speak, traditions of culture and home ownership pride. They didn’t share the ethos of the Irish and Italian Catholics and hung tough. Poletown neighborhood real estate was given to General Motors by a corrupt mayor and political system, up to and including, the Michigan Supreme Court. You won’t think your American citizenship means much after you read this account.

In Philadelphia, The holier-than-thou, lying sacks of shit, agents for the Ford Foundation and WASP-y elite, traitors to their race and their class, the Quakers, ruined their city in the most destructive way possible. The Quakers dealt with the NAACP, the Urban League, gang leaders and thugs. Those organizations told them integration didn’t interest them, the housing did. The black migrant from the South had no interest in living with white ethnic people, and neither did the elites of Philadelphia. Yet, the Quakers persevered to do their bidding and clear out the Catholics.

In Boston, a tenacious resistance to these bizarre social policies like busing today earns them liberal scorn. You just can’t stick up for yourself in this country, it seems. They weren’t Quaker-ized sufficiently, I guess.


Reparations? You can go to 7935 Sangamon St, Gresham, Chicago, IL. Our family already gave.

There will be no unified groups within the group. There will be no identification other than what is given to you. The over-reaching power of governmental authority will rule over you and your possessions. Your God will not protect you if your intercessors have the backbone of a chocolate éclair. Your meeting place and social halls will be destroyed. Your family members will fall to the siren call of destructive living. Your old friends will move away. Faith is gone, as is your family home. And you will wander.

Thank you, Dr. Jones. I will be reading more of your works.

Ghost Town Poletown, Detroit: Slash-and-Burn Corrupto Capitalism on Full Display

... The land grab was close to freeways. It had low housing values. Its residents were vulnerable, poor and could be easily moved. Poletown was a done deal. What surprised everyone was how quickly the deal was done, and how residents were kept out of the loop until the last minute.

GM mandated the city of Detroit to provide land within 10 months or else the automaker would approach another city. In those 10 months, State of Michigan lawmakers rewrote its eminent domain law to “authorize the taking of private property in order to encourage commercial development,” a clause not previously written into the law. But as the law was already written, residents would find it “impossible” to protect their homes against any kind of eminent domain.

You have to understand that Darren Bailey is not running a serious campaign. He could grab Nick Shirley with his camera, go to 79th & State and start heading west. By the time he got to Western Ave they'd find at least half a dozen "learing" centers similar to Minneapolis. Or show up at the "offices" of the dozen or so "violence prevention" groups in Chicago and ask to see their times sheets, payrolls, "employee" rosters and time sheets.

Spencer Pratt has exposed the dysfunction of LA and CA...and we get downstate Darren Bailey?

The "apparent" hate crime investigation should include possible connections to the under federal indictment Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC has been known to use tax free foundation money to finance left wing extremists and assorted loons to commit acts of calculated, fabricated, made up racism, bigotry and cultivated hate to further their narratives ultimately to solicit greater contributions, political influence and a façade of legitimacy. Its all staged and is readily available for left leaning media sources, university forums/classroom instruction and certain politicians to blow their dog whistles in a rallying cry to the duped righteous masses.

I would call it a hate crime, since I am white and a Trump supporter and the guy clearly expressed hatred of all people falling into that category. I know that hatred of a political or racial group not defined by the MSM and leftists as "disenfranchised" is acceptable under the law, but questioning authority is what I do best.

My Trusty Cell Phone



Deandre Bell, left, and Davonta Curtis. (Chicago Police Department, Twitter)

Man Googled ‘how to kill someone with a hammer’ before killing trans girlfriend with a hammer: prosecutors


Prosecutors say a Chicago man Googled how to kill someone with a hammer before using one to beat to death a transgender woman he had been in a relationship with.

Deandre Bell, 24, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Davonta Curtis, 31, whose body was found by family members inside her apartment in the 2400 block of West Lake Street on April 8. Prosecutors said she had been in an on-again-off-again relationship with Bell.

In a detention filing, prosecutors said the two spent part of Easter Sunday together and video showed them returning to Curtis’ apartment building that evening. Sometime between 11:40 p.m. that night and early the next morning, Bell struck Curtis repeatedly in the head with a hammer, prosecutors alleged. Surveillance video then shows Bell leaving the apartment building alone at 1 a.m. on the morning after Easter.

Curtis’ sisters, concerned after not hearing from her for a couple of days, found her body naked and partially covered by a sheet. Her blue 2009 Hyundai and her car keys were missing from the apartment.

Meat w/ the Heat RIP

Nah, nah, nah, nah, Hey, Hey Hey Goodbye Homo Pope Frank... driving in from the bullpen in the new Impala model from Fanning Chevrolet is Pope Bob.

A White Sox fan in the Vatican


Anyone from Chicago can tell you, the Cubs always get the celebrities -- from Ronald Reagan to Bill Murray. At one point, Al Capone even tried to buy the team.

While it’s true that Richard Nixon grew up in California rooting for the White Sox, when the Dodgers moved in, he had to switch allegiances. Even worse, another President, the Lyin’ Hawaiian, liked to wear the current Sox hip-hop black cap, but it turns out, he may never have been to a game at what he calls “Cominskey Park” and in 2010 didn’t know the name of a single player.

Now comes the amazing news from the brother that the new Pope is a genuine White Sox fan, as are all the kindly old school priests and sisters south of I-55, on into Indiana and Michigan. That’s a huge point in his favor and it appears he frequently voted in the Republican primaries in Illinois (that state does not have specific party registrations).

Growing up in the south suburbs of Chicago in the 1960s, in a very Catholic household, he would have had a ringside seat to the great battles in the American Church. Back of the Yards was where the leftist Saul Alinksy co-opted a big chunk of the Catholic community outreach, thanks to the liberal Bishop Bernard Sheil. But this area, and to the west, is also where the conservative Augustinian priest Francis X. Lawlor had his blue-collar political base.

The Augustinians are still active around Chicago, and new Pope Leo has grown up with that order since attending their high school seminary and then their flagship university, Villanova.

Generally, Augustinians are very humble priests, often called the Friar Hermits, who quietly run schools and missions. Pope Leo XIV spent over 20 years in Peru, which is the mission target for Midwest Augustinians.

Apparently, Pope Leo XIV has no hostility to the Latin Mass, while Pope Francis hated it. His public comments also indicate he has no interest in pushing the homosexual agenda or ordaining women. These are all things conservative Catholics care about and which the Pope controls.

On things he doesn’t control -- immigration, global warming, American politics, etc. -- I expect a lot of rhetoric to warm the cockles of the international media. That’s a compromise most Catholics can readily accept.

The choice of the papal name is also intriguing. Pope Leo XIII, the last Leo, was one of the greatest Popes of all time. Liberals would like to claim this Pope for his support of workers and the right to organize. But Leo XIII despised socialism and was the force behind the Church’s modern support of free markets and Thomist natural law theory as well as the center/right Christian Democratic political movements in the 20th Century.

I'd prefer Walt 'No Neck' Williams as Pope - EWS

New Pope Leo, it should be noted, was a math major in college. He’ll need to dust off his calculator. The Vatican finances were always crooked and are now an absolute ruin. Pope Francis brought in conservative George Cardinal Pell to try to clean it up years ago. Instead, Pell’s enemies in the Vatican and Australia hit him with a frame-up that sent him to prison for a while before he was vindicated.

Pell wrote a brutal report, the Demos, detailing the myriad problems with Francis’ Vatican before he passed away in 2023.

Pope Leo will have a huge job ahead, digging out from under the mess that Francis is leaving him. I suspect in the end that Pope Leo XIV will have little time to generate new controversies. Just keeping the lights on will consume all his time.

Rome may be in even worse shape than what has become of the once solid ball club on the South Side. And for the same reasons -- bad managers, no farm system, no stars, lack of money, and an utterly clueless top leadership. The new Pope certainly has the modest personality and proven intelligence to do a better job than his predecessor. Like a lot of people, I will pray he does.

Pope Bartman the First has a nice ring to it.
