"From the moment McCain landed in Phoenix," according to Charles Lewis of the Center for Public Integrity, "the Hensleys were key sponsors of his political career."<BR/><BR/>The fact is, the people ultimately behind the Hensley fortune are even more interesting and controversial<BR/><BR/>While it is well-known McCain's father-in-law is owner of the biggest Anheuser-Busch beer distributor in Arizona—one of the largest beer distributors in the nation—the media has had nothing to say about the origins of the Hensley fortune that financed McCain's rise to power.<BR/><BR/>The Hensley fortune, in fact, is a regional offshoot of the big time bootlegging and rackets empire of the Bronfman dynasty of Canada, founded by Sam Bronfman, an early partner of Meyer Lansky, longtime "chairman of the board" of the international crime syndicate. (The Bronfmans cover all bases. Sam's son, Edgar, today—at least publicly—supports George W. Bush.)<BR/><BR/>McCain's father-in-law got his start as a top henchman of one Kemper Marley who, for some forty years until his death in 1990 at age 84, was the undisputed behind-the-scenes political boss of Arizona. But Marley was much more: he was also the protege of Lansky's longtime lieutenant, Phoenix gambler Gus Greenbaum.<BR/><BR/>In 1941 Greenbaum had set up the Transamerica Publishing and News Ser vice, which operated a national wire service for bookmakers. In 1946 Green baum turned over the day-to-day operations to Marley while Greenbaum focused on building up Lansky-run casinos in Las Vegas, commuting there from his home in Phoe nix. Greenbaum, in fact, was so integral to the Lansky empire that he was the one who took command of Lansky's Las Vegas interests in 1947 after Lansky ordered the execution of his own longtime friend, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, for skimming profits from the new Flamingo Casino.<BR/><BR/>Greenbaum and his wife were murdered in a mob "hit" in 1948, their throats cut. The murder set off a series of gangland wars in Phoenix, but Marley survived and prospered<BR/><BR/>During this time Marley was building up a liquor distribution monopoly in Arizona. The truth is that it was the Bronfman family that set Marley up in business. However, in 1948, some 52 of Marley's employees (including Jim Hensley) went to jail on federal liquor violations—but not Marley.<BR/><BR/>The story in Arizona is that Hensley took the fall for Marley. Upon Hensley's release from prison, Marley paid Hensley back by setting him up in the beer business. That company today, said to be worth $200 million, financed McCain's career. And without Marley's political support McCain could have never even gotten elected dogcatcher.<BR/><BR/>But there's more. McCain's father-in-law had also dabbled in the dog racing business and he expanded his family fortune further by selling his dog racing track to an individual connected to the the Buffalo-based Jacobs family.<BR/><BR/>The Jacobs were the leading distributors for Bronfman liquor into the United States during Prohibition into the hands of local gangs that were part of the Lansky syndicate. Expanding over the years, the family's enterprises were once described as being "probably the biggest quasi-legitimate cover for organized crime's money-laundering in the United States."<BR/><BR/>While John McCain himself can not be held personally responsible for the sins of his father-in-law, the fact is that this "reformer" owes his political and financial fortunes to the good graces of the biggest names in organized crime.<BR/><BR/>yeh, i would trust this guy as president. fools in new hampshire should be ashamed of themselves. stupidity runs rampant in the state of new hampshire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-54193820964169674302008-01-09T01:00:00.000+00:002008-01-09T01:00:00.000+00:00Anonymous said...

Time's up. The answer is "Damn few."<BR/><BR/>In case you hadn't noticed, Hillary and Obama are both Democrats. So in addition to being minorities, they also carry the burden of being from a party that traditionally has not fared well in red states. Most political commentators have always noted that the most viable female or minority candidate would come from the GOP for that very reason. Elizabeth Dole. Colin Powell. Follow along, sweetheart, because I'm going to take you further.<BR/><BR/>Now, going back to your silly little list, ask yourself how many of these red states have actually voted for DEMOCRATIC presidents? Because you apparently missed the boat completely and don't seem to realize that we are in The process of electing a PRESIDENT. Not a mayor or a governor.<BR/><BR/>If you had any substantive knowledge or sense of U.S. political history beyond running to Wikipedia and digging up stats, you would realize that historically many states typically vote for governors and presidential candidiates from different parties. For example, California often elects Republican governors (Schwarzenegger, Deukmeijian, Reagan), but typically votes for Democrat presidential nominees (Kerry, Gore, Clinton). It's a pattern. Study it and LEARN.<BR/><BR/>So let's discuss which states on your list actually voted Democrat in the last 2 PRESIDENTIAL elections:<BR/><BR/>Wyoming - Bush<BR/>Virgina - Bush<BR/>Louisiana - Bush<BR/>Texas - Bush <BR/>Kansas - Bush<BR/>Arizona - Bush<BR/>Kentucky - Bush<BR/>Nebraska - Bush<BR/><BR/>So when I say that red states aren't ready for a female or a mninority PRESIDENT, I am addressing the historical pattern that clearly shows that (a) red states may elect female and minority governors, but they are usually Republican, not Democrat; and (b) red states typically don't vote for Democratic presidential candidates. As Hillary and Obama are female and minority AND Democrat, history argues against their election by the overwhelming majority of red states.<BR/><BR/>Think before you write. And for God's sake, I hope you put more thought into your vote than you do in writing emails.

Live on the planet a few more years and wise-up. Look at what a candidate has done first (in Obama's case, that would be NOTHING, as he has only been in the Senate for 3 years and has spent 2-3/4 of those years campaigning for the Presidency and writing books. You want a guy like that working for you?)<BR/><BR/>Second: Neither Obama nor Hillary can win. The Dems, some independents and a few Republican deserters may be ready for a black or female president, but the majority of Americans (translation: RED states) are just not there yet.<BR/><BR/>Third, as a Democrat, I woudl really prefer that a Republican win in 2008, and I really don't understand that Hillary and Obama are thinking. People, we are on a HOUSING CRASH blog. We all know that this ship is heading towards massive icebergs and a dollar crash that is unavoidable. Why get stuck with this albatross in 2008 and get blamed for Bush's mess? No, better wait it out till this thing bottoms in 2012, then swoop in when things can't get any worse.
