Dozens of protesters descended on Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s neighborhood Saturday as part of the weekend of NATO summit demonstrations.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Emanuel wasn’t home at the time, but that did little to stop demonstrators from marching and chanting in front of his home in protest of his closing city mental health clinics.

“We want to ask his neighbors if they know where to find mental health services because he closed down all of our clinics,” Matt Ginsberg-Jaeckle of the Mental Health Movement told assembled protesters on the North Side Saturday morning.

Protesters are streaming by Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s home — which is being guarded by 16 Chicago police officers. The protesters are not being allowed to congregate, so they are streaming by and chanting.

There is a NATO tie, one demonstrator told the Sun-Times.

“The theme is healthcare — no warfare,” Jo Patton with the local Mental Health Movement said.

    Rahm Emanuel is an Israel citizen. He was in the Israeli military as well as the US military. He held a membership to a gay bathhouse Man’s Country Chicago.
    Rahm would make a great Fuhrer in Amerika for all the free range chickens.

      The G8, the UN, and many other global subsets are banning together to ensure “food security” for developing nations. The man who Occupies the Oval Office kicked off the G8 Summit with a brief speech about “mobilizing more than $22 billion” for a global food security initiative targeting a billion people who go hungry each year. He said the G8 was “launching a major new partnership to reduce hunger and lift tens of millions of people from poverty.” The countries he cited as examples were terrorist breeding, Islamic influenced poor nations–Keyna, Ethiopia and Somalia. He repeatedly spoke of government assisted food security, a term that could be a hallmark of the end time beast government.

      Revelation 13:16-17 describes the end time beast government where “all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” The G8 initiative is not this government. It is, however, a type and shadow of this end time beast prophecy. Herein, the nations of the world are gathered together to end world hunger–a heart tugging, emotional and worthy cause. Except to say as did the Messiah in Matthew 26:11 that “For ye have the poor always with you.”

      Rohm Emanuel..another Zionist…along with Obama and his cabinet..all hand picked by the Rothchild’s Zionist Federal Reserve..I am not against the Torah observant Jews..most consider Zionists enmemies..they blame them for the Holocaust. think atheist Jew George Soros. Zionists are atheists or secular Jews…who migrated there from Europe..Rohm is featured in this short video along with the other Zionists..Look around at the world people ..and it’s Zionists in power..but look at who is above them..
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcSM4dNMCPk
      And this is how most Torah (first 5 books of the Bible) observant Jews feel about them

      Ash-Head I’ll bet you see a Zionist in every woodpile, don’t you? Soros may have been of Jewish decent, but his father renounced their faith and converted. George worked for the the Fuhrer’s occupiers, helping them take the property of those being sent to the death camps, so how you could lump him in with Zionists is totally beyond rational understanding. Unless if course it’s something personal on your part.

      @BABYLONVI I used to be right where you are..but I have wondered why so many people in power in our government are Zionists..I once had a list of them..I wondered with so many “Jews” holding high positions..why was the world in such dissaray..I mean..they have to be God’s chosen right?..Anyone can move to Israel and become a “Jew” but it does not make them one,. and Zionists don’t have a whole lot in common with the real Jews now do they? If they don’t study the Torah nor do they even believe in God or Jesus.? Right?.. If you go to the second link that I posted about how the Torah observant Jews feel about them..you might understand. .They consider the Zionists enemies.they blame the Zionist for the Holacaust.because they are a bunch of greedy materialistic people..If you believe the Bible..then you believe that God Himself gathers the nations against Israel..this is for judgement of those nations..Jesus Himself saves them..but in the end..God only saves one third of them..the bible scholars believe only one third will hold to their faith..Does Jesus say to kill our enemies? or does he say to love them and do good to them? That‘s a hard one isn’t it?..I believe Jesus..it took me awhile..but I know some of us will have to die..I just pray God makes me strong enough..it is the Godless of this world who are stirring dissention. the time is near the end..the torah observant Jews know this..and they believe His promises..We can do nothing of our own volition.

    Glad to see that the mental health community is finally speaking out, but you can only abuse a population so long, and squeeze the people trying to help them so long before they begin to shout. Libs always tell us that they are the compassionate ones fighting for the rights of the underdog but they have systematically, even conscientiously abandoned this group because real psychiatric patients truly are underdogs–they are expensive, they are poor, they can be dangerous and while treatment helps no one in their right mind even pretends at this point that the endgame means cure; improvement is generally a compromise not a celebration. So “f” ‘em right? I‘m not sure but I don’t even think Obamacare is bothered to mention this population and if the mental health system is held to the same standard as say the management of hypertension–then this gives Obamacare even more reason to deny payment to practitioners and programs that are doing the best they can with nothing already. How can that be?, this population costs so much? Well because when push comes to shove these very compassionate Libs have done everything they can to make sure that doctors, programs and the delivery of medications is largely up to the patient, who is crazy. Funny that the only people who can fully exercise freewill these days is poor, insane, and eligible for free everything. I personally knew Rahm way, way back when–even then he evaluated everyone in terms of a means to an end. No compassion.

    Time to cut government institutions when there is no money left. I never once seen anyone in government say that they would take a pay cut or even cut their pension. Now that the truth is coming out before the financial wave hits, they will be saying “everything is under control” when in fact there are no cards left to deal. Good luck with that!

    You will see rampant food hikes like never seen before and even more poor people to come! The very wealthy will be cutting the throats of the smaller wealthy class. It will be the days of when Kings become known for ruling once again behind the scenes!

    With the Chinese industries slowing down and closing, what do you think they will want? Our food of course and they have every right to it! The only answer is to get out of debt completely and never go back into debt! The days are numbered when they will reclaim everything anyways! You woke the dragon, now who will feed it?

    While people are blaming China for their purchases of cheap Chinese goods, the Chinese will be blaming America for over spending and collapsing the economies. Nothing good can come out of greed and it will soon get you!

    Tomorrow could well be an interesting day. NATO in Chicago with the military clamp down and the protesters and Jeruselem Day in Israel.

    I am not sure what the authorities expect in Chicago but they have gone to a lot of expense, time and trouble to lock that city down. A false flag attack?

    In Jeruselem the PA mufti is warning against attacks on Palastinians by Israeli’s and Sheik Yousef Idais is warning that the Israelis are planning to massacre Palestinians so of course he urged Palestinians to converge on Jeruselem to” confront the extremist settlers.”

    With Rahm Emanuel, with Obama, with the Palestinians……….always watch the other hand and wait for the *real* reason things happen.

    Just a comment…don’t care whose home or neighborhood…Rahm’s or a CEO of a bank etc…..there should NEVER be demonstrators around their private homes. Rahm has 16 police officers around his neighborhood for protection and what a shame that these demonstrators would cause such a crisis for an American citizen. Shameless! These 16 police officers should be back to their patrol areas to secure “all” American citizens and not have to concentrate on one area.
