NYT Still Trying to Manage the News Not Report on the Conspiracy to Kill Democracy

After the fact and dozens of new media blog stories the NYT writes about attempts by the Queens machine to use their long time party hack Jeffrey Gottlieb to split the Jewish vote in 6th Congressional District. The NYT writer Sarah Maslin Nir used an anonymous person involved in Gottlieb campaign to say he drop out because of a NYP story last weekend that he burned down his own house. The NYT reporter Nir only used the the target of the Gottlieb ticket splitting candidacy Rory I. Lancman as the accuser and ignored key evidence already published in several blogs about a key person in the Meng's campaign involvement in ticket splitting. The NYT never mentioned Corrupt Boss Crowley once in the article. It should have read it own reporters story on how weak the machines in competitive races.In Queens, Political Center Is in Surrogate's Court - NYTimes.com Perhaps the machine losing the Weprin race has increase the need to find ways to win like splitting the vote.

Meng's Nussbaum: Corrupt Journalist and Political Operative is Unknown by the NYT

The NYT left out that a key Queens political operative helping to run the Meng Mike Nussbaum approached another Queens Jewish person Matthew Silverstein who was looking to run for office and suggested he run in the 6th before Gottlieb entered the race. The NYT reporter Nir also ignored a story posted in City and State about FOR MENG CONSULTANT NUSSBAUM, A HISTORY OF VOTE-SPLITTING. How is the world can the NYT leave out the fact that Nussbaum is part owner of several Queens newspaper and he is running campaigns. Is the NYT trying to tell us that their is not ethics in journalism and the newspapers can run candidates and operate like political machines like they did in the old Tammany Hall days? Or has the paper become the clueless Times. * A Secret Pact Broken, A Candidate Shunned From The Ballot (Queens Politics)

The NYT reporter did not understand what Lancman was talking about when he said the machine was just playing musical chairs by replacing Gottlieb with someone else. “Same game, different face.”What is the game reporter Nir? She did not answer his charge. The Game Lancman was talking about is quite simple. The Queens machines uses a network of political operatives both democrat and republican to fix elections. In this case the Democratic Queens machine used GOP operative Jay Golub who ran the petition drive to get Gottlieb on the ballot and is most likely the anonymous person Ms. Nir was writing about describing why Gottlieb dropped out. Which means that a person deeply involved in the ticket fixing conspiracy was using the NYT reporter to spin Bull Shit and to cover up what was really going on. * More on the Race for the 6th Congressionial District(True News)

Queens Political Corruption Grows Inside the NYC Board Of Elections

Stephen Graves Resigned Quietly from the Board of Elections Wednesday After Being Suspended Last Week For Bribery

Two Years Ago Stephen Graves Computer and Files Were Seized In Joint FBI DOI Raid On the Queens Board of Elections. After his office was raided Graves disappeared for two weeks. When he came back he was reassigned from the Queens BOE to its Warehouse, because many at the board believed he was wearing a wire to catch others for the feds in return for a lighter sentence. Before that Graves was operating out of Manhattan until a group of Jewish employees filed an EEOC complaint against him.

DOI Going After the Secret Lobbyist Can Start the Clean Up of Corruption at the BOE

The city’s Board of Elections was notified two years ago that Graves wascaught on tape soliciting a $25,000 “finder’s fee” from a company competing for a $65 million voting machine contract in 2009. “He was recommending the use of a particular lobbyist,” said one source. “In exchange for that he wanted a finder’s fee.” The lobbyist, who was not identified, was supposed to receive $250,000 a year for five years, the source said. All DOI has to do is expose who was the lobbyist who Graves want to receive the $1.250,000. The chances are that lobbyist is a BOE lobbyist insider or Queens GOP operator who knows where many of the commissioner who run the board bodies are buried. Note the sting tapes on Graves were made by the BOE vender not DOI.

DOI Can Also Clean Up the BOE By Stopping the Cover Up of Who Tried to Fix A Ballot in A 2010 Special Election

The second case involves the former head of the BOE Gonzalez who left the board right after a scandal of ballot fixing was disclosed in a Queens special election. DOI said over a year ago that it was investigating what happen. That investigation could be revived to force Gonzalez to rat on his former board members. It is interesting to not that Gonzalez lawyer Stanley Schlein is also the registered lobbyist for the same company that Graves tried to shake down, Dominion Voting Systems.

Hornak worked with Jay Golub and with accused BOE briber Steven Graves on the Victor Babb City Council Campaign. Golub GSP Consulting was $4,500 by the Ragusa' faction of the Queens GOP who at that time was fighting the Haggerty faction. Steven Graves was running in the 25AD for State Committee as part of the Ragusa faction in 2009. Also working for GSP is Dennis Gallager who the NYP calls the Perv pol lands Qns. lobbyist gig

FOR MENG CONSULTANT, A HISTORY OF VOTE-SPLITTING (C&S) In 2009, Nussbaum, who runs the Queens firm Multi-Media, was the main political consultant for council candidate Kevin Kim. Also in the six-way Democratic primary was Tom Cooke, a wheel-chair bound war veteran who headed up a prominent group for people with spinal injuries. Upon hearing that Cooke was having trouble collecting enough signatures to make the ballot, Nussbaum reached out to Cooke’s campaign and lent Cooke several skilled signature gatherers to help gather petitions, said Robert Giuffre, who managed Cooke’s 2010 Council race. Nussbaum wanted Cooke on the primary ballot order to siphon off white votes from two top tier white challengers to Kim, Paul Vallone and Jerry Iannece; Kim was the only Korean-American in the race. * Grace Meng Independent Party Petitions are Very Week.

1. Never ask about the corrupt Queens machine is being kept alive by ripping of the Surrogate court *In Queens, Political Center Is in Surrogate's Court - NYTimes.com * True News (The Bund): NY Corrupt Party Boss Crowley
2. Queens Democratic Party Boss Crowley says he had no connect to long time Party Hack Jeff Gottlieb entering the race in the 6th to split the Jewish Vote. The Interviewer Errol Lewis never asked Crowley how Queens Democrat Gottlieb got his job at the Board of Elections. All jobs at the BOE are political appointments given out by party leaders..

3. Lewis Question: Did you put your cousin Elizabeth Crowley in the race to divide the white vote? I heard people say that cynically. Crowley Answered:We don’t operate that way in Queens County? To set people up to divert votes. Real Answer: All the elections in Queens are fixed so there is no need to split the vote.. In state legislature races all the democratic nominations are picked by Crowley under the fix special election laws, after an elected official goes to jail, resigns or dies. Everyone elected to Albany from Queens is a Democrat. Lewis could have give the example of College student Justin Wax Jacobs getting knocked off the ballot by his party lawyer Frank Bolz on a technicality so a machine backed candidate could run without democratic opposition.

4. After a video clip of Rohy Lancman charging that the Queens Organization put the Hackest Hack Jeff Gottlieb in the race to divide the Jewish, Boss Crowley said Gottlieb had no connection to his Queens organizations. Lewis did not ask him how he got his job at the Board of Elections Or the dozen other Hack jobs Landdman's says he got from Queens organization pols.

5. Crowley said said he was supporting Meng to go along with the the federal court that drew the new 6th district to elect an Asian candidate. Lewis did not ask Crowley if he was gong to oppose Toby Stavisky who intend to keep her senate seat by running in a state senate district that was also draw to elect the first Asian to the senate * Crowley: No Stalking Horse In NY-6(YNN)

A Loser of the Week (City and State)

Michael Nussbaum – From the moment that Jeffrey Gottlieb entered the Congressional District 6 race, there was talk that he was running as a stalking horse for Grace Meng.

And those suspicions have only grown after Meng’s campaign admitted that Nussbaum, its main consultant, encouraged another Jewish candidate, Matthew Silverstein to run. Meng’s campaign insists it was all in jest, but that’s much different from what Silverstein has told people about the conversation. It’s unwanted attention for a political operative that got some unwanted attention during the 2009 elections as well. More of this weeks City and State Winners and Losers

When are the feds going to do a full job of cleaning out the stable...of all those old shit piles left in the corners...from Donald Manes' crooked regime? Nussbaum should be the first to be swept out. But I wouldn't dare use that piece of manure to fertilize my tomato patch.

How Did Councilman Peter Koo Pay Golub?

In yesterday City and State reported Gottlieb was “impressed” by Jay Golub efforts in 2010 to get Democratic Senate candidate Isaac Sasson onto the ballot. A Close Tie Between the Gottlieb and Meng Campaigns True News has found out through auditor close to the Sasson campaign operation that Sasson hired Golub GSP the recommendation of Peter Koo. Golub who ran Sasson brought in Nussbaum to printing. Nussbaum was paid $145,000 by Koo.

The problem with the Koo recommendation was that there is no record of payment by the Koo campaign of Golub or his lobbyist partner Dennis Gallagher. There is a report that Gallagher and Golub GPS did lobbying work for Koo. From the NYP January 15, 2012 Gallagher, a Republican, confirmed that he does consulting work with Golub and that he’s done consulting for Councilman Peter Koo (R-Queens) but said he hasn’t done any work for Republicans in Queens “on a paid basis.”Perv pol lands Qns. lobbyist gig

The main consultant on Sasson’s campaign turns out to have been Multi-Media, the Queens consulting firm run by Michael Nussbaum, which is now the main consultant on Meng’s campaign. During Sasson’s 2010 campaign for State Senate, Multi-Media was paid $143,877, according to campaign finance records, while Golub’s firm, GSP Consulting, was paid $57,500.

Gottlieb currently an employee at the Board of Elections has no federal campaign account, no campaign website and waited several weeks into petitioning into order to begin. City and State reports that Queens Democratic sources said that before Gottlieb entered the race, Meng backers attempted to recruit Matt Silverstein, a Democratic state committeeman who is also Jewish, to run for the congressional seat in order to split the Jewish vote.

Queens MachineGate

After losing the David Weprin race for congress last year Boss Crowley is leaving nothing to chance. If his cousin is not splitting enough votes to elect Meng find someone who will. Who is paying GOP political consultant Jay Golub to collect Gottlieb signatures. Golub is president of a company called GSP consultants. Disgraced ex-Councilman Dennis Gallagher works as a lobbyist for Golub's GPS in to a recent NYP article. Golub and Gallagher help elect Peter Koo with many believe with the help of the Queens Democratic Organization after their candidate was defeated in the primary. So Golub seem to be functioning as a secret operative for Crowley. That can explain why Koo backed Weprin and change to a democratic a few months ago. Golub and company seems to connected to both the Queens Democratic and Republic Parties. Golub's GPS was also paid by the Queens GOP to run the state committee campaigns against the Haggerty team. One of the candidates on the Ragusa side that Golub helped was Steven Grave the BOE colleague of Gottlieb that was suspended by the board for attempting to take a bribe from a vender of voting machines.

Corrupt Campaign Lobbyist Consultants Does Not Stop At Meng's Door. . . The Anti Democracy Cancer Have Overtaken the Rory Lancman Campaign 2

The Teflon Media Darling Sheinkopf Game the System and Everyone

Yesterday Lancman's Campaign Strategy was to Go Silent on the Ticket Splitting Issue. His Consultant Sheinkopf Has Experience of Losing and Yes Going Silent . . .

From the Village Voice (Barrett, 11/10/2010)

"Sheinkopf copped a memo, too, obtaining it from an aide to the top Senate staffer, Angelo Aponte, who Sheinkopf personally installed in the key spot. He had the power to do that because the skillful Sheinkopf doubles as a lobbyist and as a political consultant, and had advised Senate Democrats in the elections that led to the 2008 majority, helping to make Malcolm Smith majority leader. Sheinkopf collected $356,741 in consulting fees from the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee at the same time that he was representing AEG and its precursor with Senate Democrats. Having worked for Bill Thompson and Mike Bloomberg most recently, Sheinkopf makes kings so he can then make deals with the kings he’s made."

The Ever Loyal Sheinkopf Worked For Thompson For Years Before Bloomberg Picked him Off $$$ Right Before the 2009 Campaign

While He Worked for Thompson His Partner Norman Levy Did Well With the Pension Funds

"Norman Levy “received a half-million dollars” in 2006 payments from Bill Howell, a major pension fund placement agent, and “appeared sometimes to be Howell’s partner” in controversial deals with the fund, according to a source familiar with the transactions. Investigators concluded that they were splitting fees, and not disclosing it. The payments to Levy - whose conviction for running a parking-ticket-fixing-scam decades ago was also overturned on appeal - were allegedly tied to his introduction of Howell to a principal of Global Strategies, a consulting firm whose client, Intermedia, was seeking millions in city and state pension fund investments. Howell made the placements and shared the fees with Levy, who appeared to be listed as an employee of one Howell entity. Sheinkopf received payments from Levy shortly after Levy was paid by Howell."

How the Meng Campaign for Congress Bought the Queens Tribune

Congressional candidate Grace Meng hires campaign help, spurring a Queens newspaper tiff (Capital) So what does she get for hiring Multi-Media? Political advice mailers and just, maybe last weeks' Tribune front page, which focused on Meng's 'making history' with her campaign (she's Asian, you see) and relegated her competitors to insert-style photos," the Chronicle wrote. * True News: A Takeover Of Journalism by Lobbyist and Politicians

How Does Nussbaum Get Away Without Being A Registered Lobbyists for the RKO Keith?

RKO Keith's owner owes a lot of taxes(Queens Crap)

“He’s on the way to paying it,” said Michael Nussbaum, spokesman for Thompson. According to Michael Nussbaum, a spokesperson for Patrick Thompson — who bought the foreclosed Northern Boulevard property for $20 million in 2010 — the developer is still committed to the project and has no plans to put the property on the market. Property owner and developer Patrick Thompson had to resubmit his proposal to the FAA after a previous approval expired. The site’s last owner, Shaya Boymelgreen, received FAA clearance for the same proposal submitted in 2003, said Thompson’s spokesperson Michael Nussbaum, who added that plans for the tower’s height have not changed for the past six years. * True News: The Media Allows Nussbaum to Pimp His Ride * True News: A Takeover Of Journalism by Lobbyist and Politicians * True News: True News: Nussbaum Unplugged A New Organized ... * True News: The Queens Chronicle Asks Why is A Sex Sex Trafficker ...

From the Times Ledger:

The owner of the crumbling RKO Keith’s Theatre in downtown Flushing still owes more than $380,000 in unpaid back taxes and entered into a payment plan earlier this year to prevent the city from putting a lien on the property.

Developer Patrick Thompson is seeking to build a 16-story, mixed-use building around the landmarked lobby of the historic theater, at 135-35 Northern Blvd., and is trying to secure finances to get a shovel in the ground at the site of the $160 million project.
