Panhandling NY Ratners tied up with ACORN and Obama

• 
  
• Bruce Ratner peeled off $1.5 million to pay ACORN's embezzlement debt. Ratner is waiting on a $700 million bond issue from NY State when he's not working on other US taxpayer grift from Obama's porkulus. Then there's Ratner's brother Michael who sued on behalf of terrorists to have their detention overturned. His nephew Matthew today works for Obama in the DOJ.
  
• As someone said, the media would rather commit suicide than admit they were and are wrong about Obama.
  

11/12/09: "What appears on the surface to be mere political payback for a job well done is in fact much more insidious. One family’s involvement with ACORN and the Obama administration is of particular interest and elucidates

• the complicated web of connections and cash behind ACORN and this President.

• Meet the Ratners.

Bruce Ratner is a New York real estate developer who has given thousands of dollars to Democrats including President Obama. His philanthropy also includes having bailed out ACORN with $1.5 million to pay off their embezzlement debt,

• a decision he stands by despite ACORN’s recent prostitution scandal and
  

• a Congressional report detailing the systemic criminal elements in the organization.

As of late, Mr. Ratner has spent thousands lobbying the Obama administration for stimulus funds for an affordable housing / basketball

• arena boondoggle called Atlantic Yards.
  

Oh yeah, Ratner owns the Nets who will occupy the new stadium should he have his way.

• In addition to paying back Mr. Ratner for his generous support over the years,
  

• the stimulus funds would benefit, you guessed it, ACORN!
  

What’s more, the project would be seizing property from the very poor ACORN and liberals claims to represent by invocation of the extremely controversial doctrine of “eminent domain.”

• With important supporters like these counting on the Obama administration’s stimulus Ponzi scheme, how could the DOJ initiate a criminal investigation of ACORN?
  

To do a thorough investigation would put not only their moocher grassroots force in peril, but

• campaign funding as well.
  

Moreover, given Democrats’ ties and vested interest in ACORN, the integrity of any internal investigation would be questionable at best.

Far left politicking and activism runs in the family. Bruce’s brother Michael Ratner is a human rights attorney and the president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. Michael shares some odd sympathies with Eric Holder.

• He represented Guantanamo Bay terrorist detainees in the lawsuit where they gained the right to legally contest their detention. Michael’s other contributions to society include books like The Prosecution of Donald Rumsfeld: A Prosecution by Book and a book on guerilla terrorist Che Guevara. Ratner is a vocal critic of the Justice Department and a proponent of political prosecutions – of Bush officials, not Obama officials of course.

Bruce’s other brother, Ronald Ratner, along with many other family members, is an executive at Forest City Enterprises – the parent firm of Bruce Ratner’s Forest City Ratner Companies

• lobbying for the aforementioned Atlantic Yards boondoggle.
  

• It just so happens that Ronald’s son, Matthew Ratner, worked for Obama for America.
  

• Today, Matthew enjoys a position in the Obama administration. Can you guess where? The good ole’ U.S. Department of Justice.

In this post-partisan age, only a cynic would imply that this appointment and Bruce Ratner’s business plans might constitute conflicts of interest for DOJ, ACORN, or the White House.

• Shameless stimulus panhandling and money magic tricks aside, one job this administration can and should “create”
  

• is that of a special prosecutor to conduct a fair, unbiased, transparent review of the complex workings of ACORN."

Child Soldiers of the left brainwashed by parents, bash US for standing in way of planet, BEG Obama to save them--

The last few seconds will make you sick.

• 11/06/09, World Wildlife Fund statement:

"To urge the President to lead us in Copenhagen, at the UN Climate Summit, and outline what WWF would like to see in the agreement that we hope comes out of it,

• we invited children of WWF staffers to tape a personal message to the President asking for his support.

Watch the video, we hope youll be inspired to send an email or write a letter to the White House that tell the President Obama that you want him to go to Copenhagen to protect our planet."...

• GOLDMAN SACHS THANKS YOU FOR EXPLOITING YOUR CHILDREN FOR THEIR BUSINESS INTERESTS IN CCX! Love how they almost cry for the planet at the end of the video.
  

Even if global warming or climate change existed--which it does not--TAKING the LAST PENNY FROM EVERY AMERICAN WOULD NOT SOLVE IT.

Fort Hood same as 9-11 World Trade Center-Pentagon worker knew of terror threat but didn't share info

News that could have prevented mass murder was once again withheld via US administrative rules.

• Obama has not resigned, hasn't apologized for his failure, nor said how he will prevent it from happening again.

• The US military should be closed down immediately as a federal disaster area.

Wall St. Journal: ..."A person familiar with the matter said a Pentagon worker on a terrorism task force overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation was told about the intercepted emails several months ago.

• But members of terror task forces aren't allowed to share such information with their agencies, unless they get permission from the FBI,

• which leads the task forces.

In this case, the Pentagon worker, an employee from the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, helped make the

• assessment that Maj. Hasan wasn't a threat,
  

• and the FBI's "procedures for sharing the information were never used,"
  

said the person familiar with the matter....

• "The Pentagon said it was never notified by U.S. intelligence agencies that they had intercepted emails between the alleged Fort Hood shooter and an extremist imam
  

• until after last week's bloody assaults, raising new questions about whether the government could have helped prevent the attack.

A top defense official said federal investigators didn't tell the Pentagon they were looking into months of contacts between Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki. The imam knew three of the Sept. 11 hijackers and hailed Maj. Hasan as a "hero" after the shooting last week at Fort Hood that left 13 people dead.

• "Based on what we know now, neither the United States Army nor any other organization within the Department of Defense knew of Maj. Hasan's contacts with any Muslim extremists," the official said.

The Pentagon comments fueled a growing dispute among various branches of the government about whether Maj. Hasan should have been more deeply investigated before he allegedly walked into a crowded soldier-readiness center at Fort Hood and opened fire."...

• "Army Wasn't Told of Hasan's emails," 11/10/09, Dreazen and Perez

Someone suggested the decision by a Pentagon worker to keep information to himself shows fear of how US AG Holder might have dealt with it. That is to say, it would not have been used in America's best interests. (framus)

Given choice of mass murder or 'diversity' US chooses the latter

• Obama should resign as his General Casey acknowledges brutal slaughter is acceptable collateral damage in the greater interest of 'diversity.'

• Why would anyone join Obama's military?

In response to the Fort Hood holocaust, a US General states such an event is preferable to purging military ranks of blatant, documented security risks (who might also qualify as 'diverse' members):

• Gen. George Casey on Meet the Press:
• 
  
• ""And as horrific as this tragedy was,
• 
  
• if our diversity becomes a casualty,
  
• 
  
• I think that's worse.""

Big Obama pal SEIU continues it's bloody beat down of America

• Another story of SEIU beatings. SEIU of course not shy about how much money they spent so Obama could help them stifle America. Why are the richest people in the world pathologically obsessed with strangling the voice of the people by any means necessary?
  

11/6: Sacramento, cbs13.COM: "A state worker is recovering after a bloody brawl at a union hall. He says members of the local SEIU 1000 beat him up and sent him to the hospital all because

• he wanted to expose alleged corruption within the union.

Ken Hamidi is a state worker at the California Franchise Tax Board. Last night he walked into a union hall in Sacramento for an SEIU local 1000 meeting.

• "We had every right to be here, very simple; it wasn't anything private or anything exclusive," said Hamidi.

But Hamidi says the union members did not want him there.

"Three, four people jumped at me, wrestled with me, then did all that," said Hamidi.

• "I was covered in blood and then over to the emergency room."

Photos of Hamidi in the hospital show him bloodied from the brawl. So why did this happen? Besides being a state worker, Hamidi says he's an unpaid reporter for a cable access show and a vocal critic of the SEIU. He calls the state workers' union corrupt.

• "This is a union hall that is leased and is being furnished and equipped and everything

• with our money," said Hamidi.

Hamidi says he came to the hall to expose how he says SEIU union leaders are spending tens of thousands of dollars on a political race, he claims, they have no right to do.

• After he and a photographer walked in to the meeting, it didn't take long for Hamidi to be right out the door and on his way to the hospital.

• We called SEIU union leaders to get their side of the story, but they refused to comment.

No criminal charges have been filed in this case. "

Ft. Hood shooter listed on Obama transition task force for Homeland Security think tank--

NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER's watch brings

• Brutal Mass Slaughter.
  

• "Incredibly, it appears that Maj. Malik Nidal Hasan, the alleged shooter in the massacre that resulted in at least 12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood today,

served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force between April 2008 and January 2009

• when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the nation’s 44th president.

Major Hasan’s name appears on the page numbered 29 (page 32 of the pdf) of the document, Thinking Anew — Security Priorities for the Next Administration.

• Founded in 2003, The George Washington University Homeland Security Policy Institute (HSPI) is, according to the “About Us” page on its web site, a nonpartisan “think and do” tank whose mission is to build bridges between theory and practice to advance homeland security through an interdisciplinary approach.

What does it mean? Perhaps, nothing."

This guy was very clear who he was. Instead of getting rid of him following poor performance evaluations and other serious problems, he was promoted from Walter Reade to Ft. Hood. Who made that decision?
