Man with legs on his head Soho

Even more empty store fronts welcome to Mike Bloomberg's hideous new NY

Mike Bloomberg's solution is to give people in massive debt. a loan!!!!
No wonder he and his gang used empty stores as campaign offices...how convenient!

Walking around NYC this morning I was stunned to see how many more stores are empty and one favorite of mine is getting ready to close. They just can't afford the super high jacked up rent so they are getting ready to go.

Heart breaking....

It looks like a major catastrophe has hit NYC and it has....Mike Bloomberg's ruling class....

Mayor Bloomberg's very own NYPD cop flies to high? Shoots an innocent man because he felt like it? Did the mayor's cop lie to 911 and Internal Affairs



http://mayorbloombergkingofnewyork.blogspot.com/2010/11/bloomberg-security-nypd-officer-in.html

Mayor Bloomberg flew to high -- believing he was and is above the law -- that he is King Mike and so far he is right -- for example -- Mike Bloomberg broke campaign laws and Cy Vance, the Manhattan DA refuses to prosecute Mike! Breaking campaign laws is a Misdemeanor A which carries jail time but in Mike's new hideous New York rich people do not get tickets they have the NYPD give out tickets and even find ways to arrest them and it is already coming back to haunt the NYPD with NYPD cops coming forward, with how many civilian complaints and more is to come I believe.

Now one of the mayor's NYPD security detail shot an innocent man and than allegedly lied to 911 and to Internal Affairs. Did he think he could do all this because he was spending too much time around king Mike or is this part of the rogue inner circle of NYPD that believes they can apply laws when they need to like a Mafia cop and turn a blind eye for their rich pals? It is very interesting how certain NYPD apply the law but in this case the NYPD officer felt he was above the law and that his alleged lies would be believed? Or maybe he wasn't thinking at all and just shot an innocent man because he felt like it they way some NYPD officers play God with their ticketing innocent people while turning a blind eye for some rich pals and than their are whispers are certain NYPD turning a blind eye for a reason...you begin to wonder....


The mayor's very own NYPD officer flew to high -- like way too many politicians and community board members - that think they are above the law, they they dictate to the law and in this case an NYPD officer in the mayor's elite group that shot someone because he felt angry...

The NYPD did take away his gun and badge. Did they check to see how many guns he owns....I sure hope he doesn't have some extra ones hidden away under his bed because he might get angry again.

Is this a sign of the times?

When you call Internal Affairs and someone doesn't answer right away than let the phone ring a really long time -- at least 12 or 13 times and an answering machine will take your message.

Mike Daly on mayor Bloomberg -- the king is dead now just a mayor....



Bloomberg is not about higher education but higher greed just look at the corrupt real estate wheelings and dealings by NYU, Columbia University and Cooper Union...Bloomberg and his mini-me Christine Quinn have one priority and it is not serving the people but serving higher greed...

A source told me to expose Christine Quinn look to Highline and the non-profits and real estate connections all who I told her washing her hands as she washes theirs....aka campaign contributions...?

Suzannah B. Troy E. Village round up starts by paying late fee for all The President's Men


Ouch, next time I have to just buy the book from Amazon rather than renting from the library. Paid a steep fee for handing in All the President's Men late but I had this fear the NYPD would send a SWAT team or something -- just joking.

I tried to help a senior citizen today who is worried his troubled friend has been killed. I called the hospital and the 9th Precinct to try and get him some kind of information is his friend alive but the 9th was having a busy day and I could not get a human being. I offered to walk over to the 9th with him but he opted for a shelter that feeds poor people, homeless and seniors like him. He told me of his friends in Tompkins he sits with who have recently passed away, one actually in Tompkins and he fears his friend was so drunk he got clocked not far from the 9th Precinct and may not have survived.

I comforted him and than I said goodbye.

Amanda the People's Burden -- the worst city planner -- responsible for how many shady deals for her A list friends and perhaps the greatest mass displacement since The American Indians?


Now Bloomberg's Black eye Cathie Black with no qualifications....


it is amazing that we have an NYPD Commish with qualifications --


Bloomberg NYC are being sued round 2 for throwing out the requirements that the head of DOB have either an architectual or engineering degree. By the way -- how many people died because of Bloomberg's reckless tsunami of development construction, crane, scaffolding and infrastructure -- how many senseless deaths and injuries oh and he puts a Con Ed guy on the charter commission to decide on term limits. I wrote everyone possible including Con Ed and asked them to tell the mayor to slow down and put the safety of the people first to no avail.


Bloomberg is moving towards becoming the most despised mayor -- and at this rate more corruption and scandals like the fact Bloomberg broke campaign laws but Cy Vance doesn't have the gumption to apply the law to an emperor.

I was so happy for Miriam and now this news!!!!!

http://www.architecturaldigest.com/resources/great/2010/10/great_design_102010#slide=8

Miriam has the most amazing photos of NYC and she colorizes them in a magnificent way and you can buy a print or wear them as necklaces that have 2 sides sometimes a spiritual message on the other side.

She makes magnificent art jewelry including uses pieces that have to do with time like keys to clocks but do to the very strict laws under emperor Bloomberg she is not allowed so sell her stunning art jewelry in Union Square Park....these are the times we live in.



Any way great, great news!!!!!!! Congratulations to Miriam West my favorite Art Super Star....ehem, except for me of course...giggle xoxoxoxo!

Steve Rattner highlighted on Bloomberg News YouTube attacking Cuomo pretty much accusing him of extortion. Watch my short YouTube 62, 62, 61


Click on the above image and see how YouTube gives people a chance to have their voices heard when the press is doing their best to help Steve Rattner get away with "pay to play" "pay to not plead guilty" and pay to not go to jail.

Click on the image above and look to the right 2nd from the top....Rattner accuses Cuomo of extortion and it is featured on Bloomberg News on YouTube...



Like any abuser he blames everyone but himself and now he blames Andrew Cuomo.

If you click on the image above you will see to your right, Mike Bloomberg his best friend is using Bloomberg News to push an aggressive stance attacking Andrew Cuomo and I hear that Mike is using his Ken Doll Charlie Rose -- his puppet that he financial props up as well as Bloomberg news to attempt to force people to "Think Bloomberg" to actually buy what Rattner is selling.

Bloomberg and Rattner are making a huge mistake attacking Cuomo and it is going to make things worse for both Bloomberg and Rattner.

Mike Bloomberg 62 emails to Haggerty he refuses to turn over, Steve Rattner 62 times he pleaded the 5th and I contrast that with Roger Maris who was honesty and had integrity and they still put an * after his achievement. I understand why but what I see here is a mayor and his money manager that don't play fair and have no respect for the rules.

Hon. Larry English
Chair
Community Board 9 – Manhattan Nov. 15, 2010



Dear Mr. English:

Since 2004, Columbia University has emphasized the employment
opportunities that will result from its proposed Manhattanville
expansion for Harlem residents and others. The figure of 7,000 jobs
has frequently been mentioned in public relations statements. Ever
since Columbia opened an employment center on Broadway and 124th
Street, not long after President Lee Bollinger made Columbia’s initial
presentation at the Board, CB 9 members and community residents have
requested basic information about the effectiveness of this center –
that is, some hard quarterly numbers on who is getting the jobs that
the center offers as well as job training that Bollinger suggested was
in the cards. We have lost more than 2,000 jobs in the businesses and
in the area surrounding the expansion site since Columbia started its
quest to re-zone West Harlem and end the employment development
concepts we outlined in the CB 9 197A community plan.

Former Chair Jordi Reyes-Montblanc advised members of the Coalition to
Preserve Community that he had tried for years to follow up on our
requests for job statistics from this center. He said that he
constantly got the run-around every time he raised the issue.

We were disheartened to read your statement in the Columbia Spectator
that the entrepreneurial spirit in Harlem is lagging, and your
suggestion that building a partnership with Columbia is the pragmatic
way to proceed.

We intend to mount a campaign in early December to focus on Columbia’s
job promises and we would like to know what the facts are. The
employment center has been operating for years and they consistently
refuse to disclose how many community residents were able to obtain
jobs there, or any other basic statistical information about who has
gotten a job as a result of coming to the center. The Community Board
itself has requested this information. The Coalition to Preserve
Community has requested this information.

In the interests of honest community advocacy and cooperation, we are
repeating our oft made request that the Board once again demand this
information which should be a matter of public record and should be
made available forthwith.
Please let us know what the results are. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Tom Kappner Tom DeMott Nellie Bailey Luis Tejada
For the Coalition to Preserve Community Action Committee

Mike Bloomberg and NYU crushing our communities


We know the little emperor of NY, Mike Bloomberg is a big phony and term limits was proof enough but why isn't the NY Post reporting the fact Mike Bloomberg broke campaign laws and Cy Vance wouldn't prosecute and why? Why did the NY Post bury David Seifman's article on the NYPost requesting 62 emails Mike sent to Haggerty that Mike refuses to turn over. Vance may have two reasons to let Mike walk and one is obvious. If Vance doesn't let Haggerty go quietly Haggerty could bring down Bloomberg and his campaign staff including some deputy mayors present and past. Mike continues to enrage NYers with his covert secretive behavior like hiring Black and shoving A listers down our throat who know nothing about serving people but ruling them like socialite Amanda the people's Burden a megamillionaire who should be mentoring Paris Hilton not helping her rich friends with land grabs from eminent domain abuse to shady air sales like the mega-billion dollar loser the USPS to NYU 120 East 12th. St. Ann's Church to trying to push through commercial zoning kicking the Mayor La Guardia statue (a real mayor that cared about people) to the curb to make Bleecker La Guardia Mercer in to Mid-Town for corrupt NYU, Mike's best friend. Mike puts NYU and their corrupt crushing development a head of the people of New York who continue to say NO but this is not a democracy under Bloomberg greed and ruthlessness rule.

Where is Senator Kirsten Gillibrand? Alan Bounville protest fast for National Equal Rights


Mayor Mike Bloomberg king of NY, are we talking about a revolution? We are sick of your A listers running the city and the protests and anger are risi

If you can't feel the anger on the streets than you are NOT walking on the sidewalks, you don't use the subways and you are listening to your Ipod. The people of New York are furious with Mike Bloomberg and appointing an A-lister magazine head that specializes in spin is a yet another explosive tinder box courtesy of Bloomberg.

Let's face facts. Mike Bloomberg stole a third term with the encouragement of his best friend Steve Rattner who also has no respect for limits which is why he is in "pay to not go to jail" mode for his role in "pay to play" and so many other corrupt friends like John Sexton of NYU who ran down to testify Mike Bloomberg must have a third term and why so Bloomberg and his socialite city planner mega-millionaire Amanda the people's Burden could help push thru commercial zoning for NYU's Hotel and massive complex to make La Guardia Pl, Bleeker to Mercer like Mid-Town instead of a village. If Mike Bloomberg died right now, John Sexton of NYU and gang would prop up his dead body to make sure their corrupt shady real estate deals go through.


The appointee of another rich A-lister has ignited rage through NYC and there is already a protest, a petition and more to come....New Yorkers have had it. They are fed-up and they are angry.


Sign the petition!!!!
