It's the national defense part that's cloudy. It's a NATO Summit, not a national defense summit.

there is nothing cloudy about it.
NATO is holding a summit there... the US declared it a national defense zone because of the summit...
big hairy deal.
NATO did not designate anything. The OP tile is a lie.
Whats going on in Chicago? is it occupied by a foreign force?
This regime intends to shoot down American aircraft over an American city.
That democrats are okay with this is disturbing. Especially because it requires a belief that any aircraft that is shot down under these directives will vaporize and become what? Air pollution? No WONDER Chicago is considering a city evacuation.

There are many no-fly zones. There's one over the white house. How many American planes have been shot down over a metropolitan area (or at all)?

According to statistics released by the Chicago Police Department, there have already been 192 murders in Chicago through May 20 of this year a figure that is 52 percent higher than the 126 reported during the same period last year. It also puts Chicago well above the 184 murders reported for all of last year.
But based on the FBIs Uniform Crime Statistics for 2011, Chicago is currently number two in the nation among big cities with a population of 250,000 or more when it comes to the number of murders. New York City which has more than three times the population of Chicago -- topped the list with 227 murders; followed by Chicago at No. 2 with 184; Detroit in third place with 173; Philadelphia in fourth with 158, and New Orleans at No. 5 with 105 murders.
Baltimore was sixth (101); Houston was number seven (96); Dallas was eighth (76); Washington, D.C. was ninth (60) and Miami was No. 10, reporting 37 murders in 2011. However, on a per capita basis -- in terms of the number of murders compared with the size of the population -- Chicago fell to No. 7 on the list. New Orleans -- "The Big Easy" -- had the most murders per person.
Big City Murder Rates Per Capita
Police and city officials have scurried to explain what theyre doing to fix the problem in a city with a murder rate higher than New York Citys but with half the population. "It's not OK that we had 53 shootings last week, but that 53 shootings is the same exact number of shootings that we had last year. So this is not a new problem," said Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy at a Tuesday news conference convened to address the weekends crime, according to the Chicago Tribune. As of Sunday, there have been at least 200 homicides from January through May, compared with 134 during the same time in 2011, according to unofficial police data cited by the Tribune.
For a relatively new mayor such as Rahm Emanuel who campaigned hard on lowering crime rates, those numbers are tough to explain away. The mayor blamed gangs. On a percentage basis and this is just data about 70% to 80% of the increase in both shootings and homicides are gang-on-gang violence," the mayor said, according to the Tribune. "We have to interject ourselves to stop the shootings, which is the only way you can stop the homicide rate."
He called for more involvement from community groups, though its unclear whether it would involve neighborhood groups such as CeaseFire featured in the documentary The Interrupters that work without police help to prevent retaliatory violence. Chicago is a different beast when it comes down to the issue of violence, Tio Hardiman, director of CeaseFire Illinois, a violence prevention group, told Frontline in April. You have outbreaks of violence the same way you have outbreaks of diseases in countries throughout the world. Some people are going to sleep in Chicago thinking about who theyre going to shoot the next day.
At Tuesday's news conference, Emanuel also called some liquor stores a cancer on the community, according to ABC News. They are a magnet for gun violence, narcotic dealing and other criminal activity, he said. Chicago is facing a rare blitz of homicides in an era when major crime has long been in decline across the nation, dropping to half the levels of the 1980s even continuing to drop through the recession, going against common thinking that a tougher economy means higher crime. Politicians careers often live and die against the crime rate in their districts. City officials promises to take action prompted skepticism from city Alderman Carrie Austin, who told ABC affiliate WLS, Weve all heard this before. Weve heard it in different ways. Lets see what this spin will do.
