Andrew Cuomo is fervently for the erection of the Ground Zero Victory Mosque. Only now do I know why.

Imam Feisal Rauff was doing his U.S. State Department-funded tour of the United Arab Emirates(UAE). His purpose we were told was one of good-will and doing his “work” as Mr. Bridge-builder. The real story was he was on a funding tour for the Mosque. In Dubai Rauff met with potential backers for the project, including current and former investors in a firm that had close ties to New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo.

The major player was Emirates National Securitization Corporation( ENSeC). This is Dubai’s version of Fannie Mae. Sound familiar? This was the Frankenstein of Andrew Cuomo almost a decade ago. Cuomo was partners with Andrew L. Farkas in Island Capital Group(ICG). Our Andrew made 2.5 million from 2003- 2006. Not bad for some work on the side. Another Pandora’s Box he opened up was the Shariah Financing method. This made it easier for Usama Bin Laden to launder money through a Shariah compliant system as well as Al Qeda.

The CIA has obtained evidence that UBL has been allowed to funnel money through the Dubai Islamic Bank in Dubai, which is controlled by the United Arab Emirates Government.

This is all making sense now. Why is it Andrew Cuomo will not answer questions regarding his work with Andrew L. Farkas? He has worked closely with financial institutions that helped finance terrorist attacks including 911!!! I have the names and evidence to back it up.

No wonder he will not investigate the funding for this hurtful Victory Mosque or he will not have the Building Department inspect the hazardous conditions that exist inside the building right now putting the lives of the worshippers at risk as we speak. Kid Cuomo has a lot of explaining to do. You can’t be a little bit pregnant and you can’t be a little bit Shariah either. These questions need to be answered before he even thinks about being Governor of this state.

Next week Carl Paladino will be signing my 911 Hard Hat Pledge on Tuesday. We will be calling a press conference and if you need to get in touch with me before hand, just contact Maureen and I will make myself available. Carl has been against the Mosque since day one and that factor alone will be enough to get the support of the entire Coalition to Honor Ground Zero, The 911 Families, the 911 hard hats and the members of all civil servants in NYC Cops , Firemen and sanitation workers and the entire Blue Collar Corner Group.

ANDREW CUOMO AND DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK: THE RELATIONSHIP

IN 2003, ISLAND CAPITAL GROUP IS FORMED WITH CUOMO:

- Island [Capital Group] was founded in May, 2003 by its managing member, Chairman and President Andrew L Farkas. Its principals include[d] Secretary Andrew M Cuomo, former US Secretary of Housing & Urban Development who served in President Clinton’s Cabinet from 1990 to 1998. [http://www.ameinfo.com/60405.html]

- Newsday reported on Sept. 27 that Cuomo made $2.5 million working for Farkas from mid-2003 until mid-2006 as well as his involvement in Dubai. “United Arab Emirates, of which Dubai is a part, remained one of the staunchest backers of the Arab League boycott of Israel throughout the period Cuomo worked for Farkas’ company.” [http://www.newsday.com/news/paladino-takes-aim-at-cuomo-fundraiser-1.2319832]

- Island Emirates Holdings, a controlled affiliate of Island Capital Group, serves as the exclusive financial advisor to, and is one of the founding shareholders of Emirates National Securitization Corporation (ENSeC), the UAE functional equivalent of Fannie Mae in the US. [http://www.bi-me.com/main.php?id=875&t=1]

- Andrew Cuomo appears to have focused his efforts on developing Shariah Law-compliant mortgages for for the United Arab Emirates. According to UAE news reports, Cuomo was still actively involved in December 2007. [http://www.ameinfo.com/140520.html]

IN 2003-2004, ISLAND CAPITAL GROUP, DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK BECOME PARTNERS IN ENSeC:

- “Established first in Dubai, ENSeC is a joint venture between and among entities controlled by Istithmar which is, in turn, controlled by the Royal Family of Dubai, DIB [Dubai Islamic Bank], Island Emirates Holdings LLC [an Island Capital Group affiliate], and Pender Ltd. [http://www.ameinfo.com/60405.html]

- [ENSeC is] Advised exclusively by Island Capital Group LLC whose partners include Andrew L. Farkas, former Chairman and CEO of Insignia Financial Group, Inc. and Andrew M. Cuomo, former United States Secretary for Housing and Urban Development.” [http://www.ameinfo.com/60405.html]

- “ENSeC…is sponsored/owned by Dubai Islamic Bank (35%), Istithmar (35%), Island Capital Group (20%), and Pender International Limited (10%).” [http://www.ifc.org/ifcext/spiwebsite1.nsf/projects/90CEEC73E3E94E4C852576BA000E28D6]

A CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT ALLEGES DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK WAS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN 9/11 ATTACKS – ALLEGATIONS WIDELY KNOWN WHEN FARKAS AND CUOMO BECAME PARTNERS WITH THE BANK:

- “Defendant Dubai Islamic Bank has a history of money laundering, including
for Osama bin Laden… Defendant Dubai Islamic Bank is involved in providing financial facilities and support to terrorists, including those involved in the September 11, 2001 attacks. U.S. authorities have identified at least $500,000 that flowed from Mustafa Ahmed al-Hisawi’s accounts at the Dubai Islamic Bank to several of the hijackers, including Mohammed Atta and Marwan al- Shehhi. They used the money to pay for their flight training at two airports and for other expenses related to the attacks.” O’Neill v. Dubai Islamic Bank et al, pg. 25 [www.ambushlaw.com/.../O'Neill_Al_Baraka_Second_Amended_Complaint.pdf]

IN 2006, THE BIPARTISAN US HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE ISSUED A REPORT HIGHLIGHTING DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK’S ROLE IN FINANCING THE 9/11 ATTACK ON AMERICA:

“One reason it was so difficult to track terrorist finances was because Usama bin Laden preferred not to operate with banks that charged interest since usury is prohibited by the Koran. Al-Qaeda did, however, use banks that operate according to Islamic principles, such as the Dubai Islamic Bank in the United Arab Emirates.” House Select Committee on Intelligence Report, Page 11, June 2006 [www.fas.org/irp/congress/2006_rpt/hpsci0606.pdf]

A JUNE 17, 2010 DECISION BY US DISTRICT COURT JUDGE GEORGE DANIELS REFUSED TO DROP DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK AS A DEFENDANT IN A 9/11 LEGAL CASE BECAUSE IT MAY HAVE FUNDED AL QAEDA INTENTIONALLY:

“The claimed wrongdoing of DIB, however, relate to the performance of routine banking and financial services, or its use as a passive conduit through which monies were indirectly channeled to and from al Qaeda. Rather, the allegations indicate that DIB was an intentional, knowing and direct participant in providing money laundering services to al Qaeda, which allowed for direct funding of terrorist attacks…” US District Court, Southern District of New York, In Re: Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, June 17, 2010, pages 49-60. [http://paladinoforthepeople.com/docs/DIB-judge_decision_June2010.pdf]

TWO YEARS BEFORE THE 9/11 ATTACKS, FIVE YEARS BEFORE ANDREW CUOMO PARTNERED WITH DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK, THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED THE BANK’S TERRORIST CONNECTION:

- “The Central Intelligence Agency has obtained evidence that Mr. bin Laden has been allowed to funnel money through the Dubai Islamic Bank in Dubai, which the United Arab Emirates Government effectively controls.”  [http://www.nytimes.com/1999/07/08/world/us-officials-say-aid-for-terrorists-came-through-two-persian-gulf-nations.html?pagewanted=1&pagewanted=print]

ANDREW CUOMO SUPPORTS THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE. AN HIS FORMER BANK PARTNERS FROM THE DUBAI ISLAMIC BANK DEAL MET RECENTLY WITH IMAM RAUF, WHO IS RAISING MONEY FOR THE GROUND ZERO MOSQUE:

“While traveling on a U.S. State Department-funded tour of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man who backs the Cordoba Initiative, which would fund the construction of a mosque near the site of the World Trade Center 9/11 terrorist attacks, met with potential financial backers of the project, including current and former investors in a firm that formerly had close ties to New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo.” American Spectator, September 23, 2010 [http://spectator.org/archives/2010/09/23/andrew-cuomo-up-to-old-tricks]

Well poor little Juan Williams. What does he get from the liberal establishment that he has been defending for most of his proffessional career? YOU’RE FIRED! Wow what a wake up call. Here’s a guy that has enjoyed a wonderful excistence as a political analyst using such inflammatory phrases such as racist, bigot, red neck, right wing extremists, greedy fat cats and tea baggers on the most watched cable news show on T.V. FOX NEWS.

FOX NEWS didn’t fire him. On the contrary he will probably be vigoriously defended by the station and all it’s anchors and analysts. Of that I am certain. Why is that? Where is Rev. Al, Jesse Jackson and the ACLU? Where is the gathering of liberals and their ample media cabal to come to rescue one of their own? I’ll tell you where …at the same place all the womens groups run to and gay rights groups run to when one of their own is a conservative. Where would that be? As far away as possible because if you’re not spewing liberal talking points then you have no right to freedom of speech. Liberals will fight to the death for the rights granted to us by our Constitution as long as it is their side of the issue you come down on.

This P.C. generation is running AMOK. Blood has already spilled because of this. Just read about all the reports that were witheld from superiors due to fear of their position regarding Nidal Hassan the killer of the 13 soldiers at Fort Hood plus the unborn child that was murdered as well in the belly of one of the victims. We should heed the warning of that fool from Conn. and his failure of his “Terrorist Starter Kit” in his SUV in Times Square. ” I am the first drop of blood in the war against your country”

Islamophobia? You betchya!

DNC Charges the GOP with Unleashing the BMD (Bugs of Mass Discomfort)

The latest accusation from the DNC is the very serious claim that it is the Republicans and  compliant Tea Party operatives have dispatched BMD’s at the offices and homes of the incumbents that are running for re-election this November. This campaign consists of inserting the eggs into all the furniture and mattresses at both locations. Axelrod has been raging a battle against them but he claims the conventional methods aren’t working and this strain can only be the work of the evil : Karl “ The Bug Man” Rove.

President Obama has covertly began a “ Bug Summit” gathering all of the top scientists in the field to join forces to combat the latest attack from the Right Wing Extremists. Well it seems when these little critters are exposed to high pitched frequencies they start to spawn even more aggressively than the typical bed bug. During a televised speech of Sarah Palin there was a monitor on within a earshot of the insects and to the shock of the scientists they noticed an incredible spike in growth and activity of these stubborn little bloodsuckers. I mean the bugs of course and not the members of the Democratic Party.

How diabolical these Republicans are. Their plan to make the Democratic incumbents as uncomfortable as possible might just work. Our hard-working President says he will not rest until these little buggers have been eradicated from all Democratic locations and his party members are once again at peace.

President Obama called Gibbs and told him to warm up the teleprompters we need to have a press conference. At the presser Jake Tapper asked Obama “ Do you really have any evidence that this is truly the work of Karl Rove and the GOP ? Mr. President it seems sort of silly. This bed bug thing is happening throughout all the metropolitan areas in the country”.  Obama looked at Jake sternly in the face and said : “ You don’t believe me? Watch this! C’mere Joe!” Vice President Joe Biden got up to the podium next to Obama and bent his head down to show the crowd. At which point Obama started smacking Biden in the head and the entire first and second rows of journalists were doused with thousands of bed bugs and eggs that were flying off the hair plugs of the Vice President. The White House Press Corp were horrified and began to scream and panic. One reporter accidentally knocked out the electrical cord of the teleprompter and they both went blank. The rest of the crew were shouting to Obama what do we do now?! Obama stood there mute. Where were the magic words? What do I say? Frozen in fear Obama started to repeat “ Yes we Can” Yes we can what Mr. President? “ I inherited a financial mess it was all Bush’s fault” “ Don’t give them the keys back”  “ Mr. President we are all being eaten alive by these bugs what do we do? “ Washington is broken”

As Vice President Biden began to restore his man-made comb over back to its’ original state he knew what must be done. He stood up and with a voice that could irritate a saint he yells at the WH Press Corp. “ Shut the F%*&K UP!” and kept his mouth open and let loose with this awful howl that sent all the reporters grabbing their ears. Suddenly all the insects had stopped in mid flight and began to go in the direction of the Vice Presidents mouth. Amazingly swarm after swarm of bugs entered into Biden’s mouth until every single insect and egg were gone. Gibbs ran to the end of the cord and plugged it back in again and signaled to Axelrod to start typing in words for Obama to say. The power went back on and the teleprompter glowed back to life. Suddenly Obama began to move freely and smiled. The White House Press Corp all stood there completely in shock not knowing what to say. President Obama was the first to break the silence” Well you guys know how Joe is and nobody messes with Joe! Not even little bugs” I think we all had a teachable moment and remember we are going in the right direction don’t be stupid and vote Republican. Thank You.

What a leader.

Greetings!

This Sunday TeaParty365 will host a protest outside of The New York Times and NBC News headquarters in Manhattan. Media Research Center (MRC) founder and president, Brent Bozell, will be join us. Join us and send a message to these liberal media icons that you’ve had enough of their left-wing bias.

The MRC fleet of New York City “Tell The Truth!” trucks will be on the scene and we’ll have plenty of “Don’t Believe the Liberal Media,” buttons, signs and bumper stickers.
At 3:00 PM Eastern, we will head to Rockefeller Center where NBC is headquartered, just a few blocks away.
Bring your cameras; there will be some great photo opportunities to get your picture taken with Brent Bozell and the fleet of “Tell The Truth!” trucks!

Throughout my 30+ plus years in both private and union construction, I have noticed patterns that are absolute. When the economy begins a growth spurt, it’s like a tidal wave. Construction is the one industry that always takes off in a booming economy. As soon as investors believe they can provide a good, profit-yielding service, watch out! Here come the hard hats!

As a kid, I remember my dad going through really lean times. It was Brooklyn in the early 70s. He struggled to make ends meet, but that rough patch only lasted about 18 months.

Before I knew it, my dad had so much work that he was teaching me how to lay wood flooring and repair vacuums. His day job was repairing vacuum cleaners and he worked on flooring nights and weekends. Sometimes it became so busy that my mom would have to work the register at the vacuum store. At the age of 8, I proudly began helping Dad out repairing vacuums in the back of the store. Dad would come home exhausted after 12 hours of laying and scraping floors.  We would sit down for dinner together as a family, even at 11 o’clock at night. Those years were hard, but magical. Every day I was reminded that only in America could such hard work reap such a reward; a happy immigrant family making it.

By the time I was 18, I had a four man crew installing kitchens and bathroom. Thanks to dad, I now knew the business and trade inside out. I thought I had found my pot of gold when I brought home a thousand dollars a week. Just like all foolish young men, I blew the whole lot of it. I figured that it was no big deal and that I could just work hard and get it all back, right? WRONG!

One day, there was all this chatter on the radio about the stock market I didn’t pay attention, because, after all, what does the stock market have to do with a construction kid from Brooklyn? Turns out, EVERYTHING! Immediately after Black Tuesday, I stood with 12 hundred workers and was told, “go home we’ll call you.” We went from working 7 days a week, proudly breaking our backs to support our families to waiting by the phone for a job.

That was my first experience with the cycles of economics. Finally, the call came, but not until a year and a half later. There was none of this “Jobless Recovery” or “Jobs Saved.” We were simply out of work construction workers, on our own. No fancy terms. Whatever you call it, an out of work father is the worst title a man can have.

Today, Obama tells us that the Stimulus Act worked. He claims to have saved the economy from disaster and to have put us in the right direction. Thank God he told us! Cause otherwise I would have never known! So let’s pass the word around through all the unemployment lines that the recession is over!

From my Blue Collar Corner, I see private sector unemployment at 30%. We’ll know that we’ve really turned the corner in this economy when we hear the jackhammers drill.

On a beautiful sunny day we got a chance to talk to Susan Kone who is running against 30 year incumbent Gerrold Naddler. Mrs. Kone is coming directly from the private sector in which she found jobs for people who are out of work( how fitting) With the Columbus Day Parade at our back we had some great people come up to us and express their feelings towards the latest outrages brought on by this ever-growing government bubble which unlike the tech bubble or the housing bubble the government will not break.

Susan like most of our freshman class of candidates is extremly high -spitited and looking to bring back the nation that it seems we are gradually losing. It is nice to hear from a possible elected official take a stand with the 911 Families regarding the Ground Zero Mosque and the location of the ever-looming Terror Trials which believe me are waiting on the other side of this election. This GITMO prisoner Gahliani is nothing more then a trial baloon to see if the system will be able to handle a full scale litigation process and then foist the KSM Terror Trials upon us again.

I hope my friends you can see their pathetic attempt to lull us into a false sense of security when it comes to the Terror Trials and the Ground Zero Mosque. With the elections out of the way they will be bold and aggressive trust me. At this point a wounded beast is at it’s most dangerous as well

How dare President Clinton tell a crowd in Cairo Egypt that he wants the Ground Zero Mosque dedicated to the 60 Muslims that perished. What about the woman I loved? What about the thousands of 911 families? What about the cops and fireman who died running in to save people as we were running out? What about our military that are risking their lives every day because of what happened on 911?

As an American and 911 survivor I’m calling him out. This is an outrage and I demand an apology from Bill Clinton. I am not only disgusted by this latest insult but his inappropriate behavior while President was in itself disgraceful. I hold this man responsible for the 911 attacks. It was his draft-dodging cowardly ways that inspired Bin Laden to plan the 911 attacks. How do you lay your head down to sleep with all the blood that stains your hands? May God have mercy on your soul I certainly will not.
