Arroyo in my opinion corrupt & voted to extend term limits has more scandals, crime exposed but so far she remains in place
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2010/07/01/2010-07-01_grab_bx_pols_aide_in_4g_apt_robbery.html
Someone please explain how the Arroyo family continues to avoid prosecution. I know Christine Quinn hired top defense attorneys for herself and her staff that specialize in White Collar crime including Sullivan and Cromwell at the tax payers expense so we could be robbed yet again. Any other ideas? Arroyo voted to extend term limits so she could stay in office and help Bloomberg steal, I mean buy a third term.

Mike Bloomberg flushing democracy down the toilet has had a detrimental effect on New York. Christine Quinn hiring top lawyers that specialize in White Collar Crime including Sullivan & Cromwell the same firm Goldman Sachs uses to defend Quinn and her staff cost tax payers a fortune and ditto for Mike Bloomberg hiring his campaign staff. Ditto for Steve Ratner, Mike Bloomberg's money manger involvement in pay to play pension scandals here in NYC. Google Steve Ratner and read more. He may be banned by the SEC but he and Mike are convinced that what ever they say we will believe. Denial is their crack cocaine. Mike Bloomberg pushing a reckless tsunami of development causing mass displacement and endangering our lives with how many deaths and injuries due to infrastructure and construction are all detrimental to New Yorkers if anyone is paying attention.

The NY Post changes format? No it's an Advertisement for Nets and it speaks volumes
http://www.nypost.com/
Just like abusing eminent domain it looks like Jay-Z and the Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, apparently not a spy have taken out such a large ad featuring their faces plugging the Nets basketball team. I am guessing very expensive ad that appears The New York Post changed it's format or I thought I was at the wrong site. I thought someone else had taken over....
Just a side note: We have a Russian coming in and buying up a majority ownerership in an American Basketball Team and being part of eminent domain abuse so Americans happily living their lives were forced out of their homes in part so a Russian citizen could make even bigger profits! Nice and China owns a huge part of America's debt! If America was a person living insanely beyond his means any financial adviser would say stop spending money but because it is a country we allow ourselves to go further in to debt and Russia and China to buy up anything we put on the chopping block.
Billionaires in New York are acting more and more like billionaires in Russia except in Russia sometimes even billionaire have very, very scary things happen to them when the powers that be decide they want to take away their wealth. That has not happened here in NYC...yet. It would be almost funny if that did because New York billionaires think they are impervious to just about everything. One billionaire got busted in Florida and although NY born and bread he of course doesn't declare NY as his residents. Michael Douglas not a billionaire won't of course declare NY as his residence. Most Wall Streeters immediately declare any where but NY as their residents to avoid the NY taxes, a piece of info you will not see in Oliver Stone's Wall Street 1 and 2 and just naming movies with numbers is a bad omen.
Getting back to advertisements here in New York where we wonder what is the price tag and if the billionaires are going to far, crossing the line and on this and other lines...
Mike Bloomberg's ads on the steps of Grand Central The MTA, Mike Bloomberg and his public relations woman for his private empire refuse to answer questions on how much this ad cost and does it advertise him as mayor and his political aspirations as well as his private empire?

Sexist misogynist The New York Post's term "sex pot"
This is a comment on The New York Post's use of the term sex pot to describe women. The term sex pot by guys from the NYPost sounds like a bunch of guys just lusting for women that would reject them unless they pay them for sexual favors --- came up with that term.
Sex pot -- means someone who likes sex? Isn't that a good thing? In theory shouldn't everyone be pro-sex but when it comes to females the NY Post male writers always have this negative misogynist double standard that not only is offensive but oozes with lust and rejection.

Mike Bloomberg above the law + is his camp paying someone to harass me -- aggravated harassment
Mike Bloomberg paid Haggerty out of his private account wiring him money. As I understand it this is not legal.
What else has Bloomberg done that we the people don't know about and rely on The New York Post or The New York Daily News to expose if they do at all?
Harassing someone on the computer is aggravated harassment. Is Bloomberg or his campaign people paying someone to harass me -- actually aggravated harassment.

Suzannah B. Troy Amazon book review The Girl Who Played with Fire
The real title is "The Men Who Hate Women", not the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo so I call this book part 2 and it is excellent. The Girl Who Played with Fire is even better than the 1st book although both are important because they address violence towards women, prejudice, corruption, and so many other important thought provoking issues. It is sad that Larsson died without knowing his books are such a huge success. It is also very disturbing that he did not make a will and his father and brother speak of his live-in love as his misogynist characters describe Lisbeth. Read this book and experience an entertaining, disturbing read. Lisbeth Sander is an unforgettable woman fictional character techno-equipped for the 21st century that many of us wish we had on our side; ditto: for Bloomkvist. I feel like a combination of them both writing and YouTubing about corruption here in NYC. My YouTube thoughts on movie and books.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQUYaqQ3EVY
Misogynist NYC and girls are part of the hate club
It is clear these teenagers have no self respect so they are not capable of having respect for anyone else...no surprise but here a group of both male and female gang up on a pregnant woman.
Misogynists, cowards and no surprise....welcome to NYC.

Bloomberg and his mini-me Quinn save fire houses yeah right!
Bloomberg closed firehouses after 9-11 and he did this pushing population growth which is even more reckless! Don't trust Mike Bloomberg and his mini-me Christine Quinn, also known as Mike Bloomberg's puppet, back room deal that he would support her run if she did his dirty work pushing thru a 3rd term vote in front of corrupt city council being investigated for stealing tax payer money. The firehouses keep coming back to the chopping block and under Bloomberg. When it comes to cuts FDNY and NYPD are first under Bloomberg and Quinn who allowed the NYPD starting salary to be lowered! Starting NYPD officers probably were earning less than a bloomberg receptionist.

St. Vincent's protest posters removed, someone write, This hospital Saved Our Lives!!!
Why do I think Mike Bloomberg and his mini me Christine Quinn had all the posters taken down because it isn't pretty to hear the shouts, screams and cries of the community demanding a hospital. All the thanks to the staff are now gone.
Does this signal Bloomberg and Quinn getting ready to make sure we do not have a hospital because they doing some deal with real estate buddies of Bloomberg?

Larry Roland, bass player poem All the beautiful ones known and unknown dedicated to African American Jazz players
I filmed Larry Roland, a bass player who was playing with Giuseppi Logan giving Gisueppi a rest break with a solo performance.
Larry Roland read his poem dedicated to African American jazz greats, known and unknown. Larry Roland told me when I interviewed him after the gig that "Jazz", America's Art form was kicked off by slaves. Larry told me his concerns for jazz greats known and unknown some in homes, forgotten, with no health insurance. He expressed a real feeling for Giuseppi Logan. He told me jazz greats known and unknown are dying and their spirits come down...Dying quietly.

FYI, the food is delicious. I had a fresh carrot pudding desert that was vegan and out of this world delicious and blueberry lemonade.
Don't forget to watch my YouTube series on Giuseppi Logan from finding him all alone in Tompkins to helping him reunite with his son for the first time in 40 years!
The miracle of Apple teaching me video and YouTube helped me work a miracle.

Why is this no surprise?
Go to YouTube search engine: Suzannahartist MTA or subways and see dilapidated subway station with leaking pipes at Union Square.
Ditto for infrastructure and apparently trees in Central Park killing people.

Con Ed makes the call use less energy
How sad, Con Ed is actually calling customers to use less energy but it is easy to see how energy is being massively wasted almost like a very slow mo oil spill in the East River but it doesn't count until it hits us in the face in away we can't ignore.
I do resent the fact in my opinion Con Ed like many commissioners needed to say to Mike Bloomberg and his socialite mega millionaire city planner Amanda the people's Burden -- their tsunami of development was too rapid and reckless and they had to slow down and put the safety of the people and infrastructure concerns including a safe smart expansion and they did not.
I believe our Con Ed bills have gone up to pay for infrastructure expansion.
It is so out of control that Con Ed is constantly hiring outside contractors. Con Ed was not going to say no to Mike Bloomberg and we are paying in many ways.

NYU evil real estate magnate Venture Capitalist
NYU is branching out from being a community crushing real estate magnate to venture capitalism! Crain's reports NYU is launching their own venture capital fund
Dear Blog Readers: NYU's president is John Sexton. He ran down to City Hall to testify Mike Bloomberg must have a third term. Let me translated John Sexton' who is paid 1.8 million a year plus real estate and other perks courtesy of NYU. NYU has big financial deals and real estate investments -- huge greedy goals that good friend Mike Bloomberg and socialite mega millionaire Amanda the people's Burden will aid and abet and a mayor and a real city planner -- that actually cares about the people would have said "NO!". No is a word that NYU can't seem to understand when the community says no more mega dorms, no more supersizing our neighborhoods, no to supersizing.
I posted this comment on Crain's website and see my YouTube on a letter I wrote President Obama asking the President of the United States of America to help protect our community from NYU and helping us to get community outreach resource centers in every mega dorm where NYU and universities copying NYU's real estate greed use the term, "community facility" to exclude the communities.
By the way I continue to ask if NYU's president, John Sexton can even vote here in NYC? Sexton supported Mike Bloomberg flushing democracy down the toilet by denying us, the people a referendum so Mike could buy, steal, win a third term -- nice example for NYU students.
Parents of NYU students, visit 120 East 12th Street and see the facade of St. Ann's Church from 1847. St. Ann's survived everything all these years except NYU's need and greed to build yet another mega dorm.
Here is the comment:
Good to know NYU, the evil empire, posing as higher education so NYU can buy up and displace as many people and small businesses as possible is expanding their endeavors. Karma served NYU by hiring someone who was suckered by Bernie Madoff. NYU could care less about the communities where they occupy and gobble up prime real estate. NYU only has one focus "greed" and being a big business that uses "higher ed" as a tax shelter for "higher greed".

Gas leak infrastructure mess Tompkins East Village LES on going disaster NYC
See my YouTube from this morning that shows all the Con Ed trucks, DEP vehicles where it looked like a bomb dropped by the North West entrance of Tompkins Square Park which was closed off by the Parks Dept. for safety.
I wrote Dollar Bill Dan Doctoroff before the steam pipe explosion by Grand Central and alerted him to William Yardley's piece in The New York Times as well as my letter in AM New York the month before Yardley's piece concerned for infrastructure and safety.
I was told by DEP it was a water main break but in actuality a source told me it was a gas leak and the FDNY responded first.
Watch the YouTube to get more of a visual of how much of the street they are tearing up and for those unfamiliar with the area DOT is getting ready to pave 2nd and 1st Avenue but it will be a short term mess in my opinion because we have had too many infrastructure breaks and I don't think they root problems have been addressed so I believe the "new" streets will be looking like this one Sunday morning.
I have a YouTube documentary series plus NY1's coverage of a water main break on 2nd Avenue and 7th Street from 3 years ago and part of the intersection keeps reopening.
I am going to be repetitive because I am tired and I want your attention.
This morning the FDNY responded and I am told it was a gas leak. A DEP guy told me it was a water main break but I heard it was a gas leak. What ever it is it looks like a bomb dropped and this is Mike Bloomberg's streets of New York ever since he pushed a reckless, stupid, greed driven development to help his rich buddies and the construction industry but at the expense of the people of New York in way too many way.
We need more press coverage on this. We need the press to make city gov tell us how many infrastructure breaks we have had since Bloomberg came to office in each section of NYC and we need to examine how we can stop what feels like another Bloomberg Titanic problem and finally put the safety of New Yorkers first.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0oiUtXoG5c
Yes this is the YouTube from this morning in case you missed it.
I don't know what else to do except hire a hot air ballon that says "Safety First!" stop the reckless tsunami of development mayor Bloomberg and for once put the people first. Enough is enough!
Mike Bloomberg decided that the commissioner of DOB did not have to have an architectural degree or an engineering degree. Mike and the city have been sued on this issue and lost the first round. I am assuming the judge is a friend of rich developers and blind to how many deaths and injuries suffered by this Bloomberg's reckless tsunami of development.
As told to me BP over ridded their engineers advice and I get the vibe this was the same here in NYC.
More on that later. I have heard some news and I think news reporters will be reporting more on this soon.
The East Village, Lower East Side looks like a bomb dropped and Cooper Union next zone buster has been put on hold for 2 years while the area around the building where I filmed a YouTube voicing my concerns for the safety of the community looks like bombs have dropped and Con Ed is also a main stay there.
The tsunami of reckless development was as stupid and greedy as what brought the implosion of Wall Street on and the streets are in the worse shape they have been in years. DOT repaving them appears to be a wasteful band-aid because the infrastructure problems have not been addressed and as the old infrastructure problems keep busting open, Mike is pushing more infrastructure expansion but all of this -- old and new expansion should have been addressed city wide before the reckless development.
Go to YouTube and search under Suzannahartist and street conditions, Suzannahartist infrastructure and you will also find my playlist on Mike Bloomberg' streets of NY including a fire truck on the upper west side, the front wheel falls in to a hole in the street that was from infrastructure problem. I tried to supply you with links but who knows because there is so much and I am one person. I even show you the subway station at Union Square with water on the ground from a pipe leaking with gauze around the pipe like a broken limb.
Mike and his developer friends only cared about their reckless development and not that the city was in bad shape and not able to absorb the development including Columbia University, NYU and Cooper Union as well as hotel and condo developers all busting through zoning and wanted the people displaced and cared nothing about our safety and the conditions of our streets, way lay beneath them and a rotted, dilapidated subway system where the stations are rotted and leaking and there are so many rats I call it the MTA Rat Circus for New Yorkers standing waiting for trains.
Welcome to king Mike's "new" hideous New York.
Marlene sad news homeless, aging, vicious cycles
I spoke with Marlene today. She hugged me. She was wearing shorts with a stain on them. Her breath smelled of alcohol. I asked her if she was drinking and she said last night.
I can't express what bad news this is that she is back at the park, drinking.
I asked her if she could contact her family for help. I gathered she could call in an emergency.
I feel badly for her family. I know from dealing with Jim Mosaic Man Power that helping means he will strike out at you -- if not physically most certainly verbally as well as lying and being very destructive. I can only guess Jim treated his family the way he treated me.
Homelessness, aging, and other issues like drinking etc. which can add to vicious cycles that need breaking and treatment.
Aging they are just getting worse.
I agreed to buy her breakfast but sadly the more we talked the more verbally violent she got threatening to punch me in the face. Sober and lucid she is a good soul but drunk or coming off being drunk she is abusive and can get physical. She deserves compassion not being demonized especially by ignorant racist people that seem very sick and photographing her topless when drunk out of her mind or other homeless men(?) having sex with her seem like more forms of abuse and exploitation of a homeless and mentally ill person struggling, in my opinion.
You can't force someone to go in to rehab. Today she would not even consider rehab.
You can't force someone to take shelter or housing. I know she has been offered all of the above.
The city has failed her as well and there is nothing that can be done.
I will call Beth Israel. I got the names of Phoenix House and Day Top as well to call and see if they have ideas but you can't force her to take housing or shelter that she refuses and or medical care.
Note: 1:29 Sunday called and left a message with the social worker dept. at Beth Isreal that works with homeless.
I left a detailed message and they should call me back this week.
She needs rehab and she needs to stay away from the park and deep down she knows this because in sober moments she has said this herself.
She just seems to be getting worse.
Karl was back visiting today. I didn't get a chance to say hello but he has shelter now and has cut down on drinking although sadly he still does drink.
I called 311 for help but all they can do is put me through to a group that would drive by and offer her shelter. She would most likely say no so their seemed like little point.
The sad part is it is not the NYPD's job but the city of New York and perhaps the USA have failed the homeless people that most especially are mentally ill and also addicted. There has to be a better way to help people but there are no easy answers and it is not black and white. I know the 9th has found housing and she refused it.
Any amazing activist with Cooper Square got Jim Power housing but he too refused it.
No easy answers just sad and angry causalities that don't want help and sooner or in some cases much later it means prison, hospital or psych ward.
I spoke to my MD about Marlene and Jim and she said they need trained professionals. Well where are they?
