Is Bling Bishop talking, to save himself, or just a coincidence? Who would have known about this, given campaign finance corruption in general, Citizens United included.

https://abc7ny.com/eric-adams-campaign-finance-scheme-mayoral-primary/13473463/

Even more shocking: prosecuted by Alvin Bragg.

"We would never tolerate these actions," the spokesperson said, adding "there is no indication that the campaign or the mayor is involved in this case or under investigation."

However, according to court papers, the mayor was aware of at least one of the fundraisers the contracted employees threw.

"(The Candidate) said he doesn't want to do anything if he doesn't get 25 Gs," one told another, according to the criminal complaint.

If I was a litigation attorney, this is where I would rest my case, and wait for the "I Have Proven That Corrupt Lives Matter Most" judgement IN MY FAVOR.

A J6 insurrectionist, responsible for, and delighted by, law enforcement officers assaulted, brutally, on January 6, 2021 to uphold his "The Big Lie", is the GOP candidate, and was made the official candidate days ago. Law enforcement officers (police, fire, etc.) were at his Pennsylvania rally AND GOP POTUS nomination, AFTER

• J6, The Big Lie, Stop The Steal dangerous, anti-public safety crimes;
• serial adultery with a non-white love child, and criminal hush money case with a 34-count FELONY conviction;
• business fraud/Ponzi schemes;
• serial tax fraud;
• a fake university (which anyone else would just be exiting prison for, instead of being nominated as the 2016 or 2024 GOP POTUS candidate!);
• accused AND convicted of rape (Jeffrey Epstein and E Jean Carroll);
• convicted of lying about raping, after bragging about "grab 'em by the pssy" (E Jean Carroll), and busted by fact-checkers for lying 24/7;
• stole from his last employer on his way out, and is now getting help from Aileen Cannon, who is acting as his personal attorney — so much for "justice system" and "law and order candidate";
• white supremacy (and NEVER, ever allowing a black person to be CFO or CEO for any of his companies, fake or not), plus this, which every black male for the bad grades guy, will stumble over themselves to dismiss as not true, yet Mr. Lawsuit-Happy Bad Grades Guy never sued the author:
  ;
• "birthering" (see white supremacy above... wait, has anyone checked on Orly Taitz? How is she holding up after tossing her career into the garbage for a guy who cannot even show his own K12 and/or college school grades);
• Jeffrey Epstein and the bad grades guy's own CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING and RAPE — we know that law enforcement has immediate access to sealed court documents, no matter which state, esp. as cops share info publicly, not previously disclosed nor accessible to public;
• Charlottesville;
• upside-down bible photo op during a heartbreaking period for many — children actually saw a video of a man being killed, for "smug Bob Kroll fun", a video, played over and over, and accessible anywhere online, triggering outrage at the blatant 6th and 14th Amendment violations;
• hosting Wayne LaPierre on the anniversary of Sandy Hook (F them kids, which the bad grades guy also did literally — See Jeffrey Epstein above);
• fake bankruptcies, while living off "other people"s money," which is exactly what the bad grades guy is doing via the RNC/GOP. (GOP is about to be fast-tracked for billions in spending for the bad grades guy and his entire family, as the bad-grades-trump brand is toxic);
• condemning innocent black boys playing in a park (see white supremacy above), and running a full-page newspaper condemnation ad with "other people's money", all while the actual rapist roamed freely, leaving his DNA at various other NYC crime scenes, with blessings from Linda Fairstein, the bad grades guy's actual friend; and
• the reason why the bad grades guy was sent to military school, as a child, and still comes out of military school with, "stealing from my family, to pay my personal fraud bills, is okay" and "grab 'em by the pssy" pride.

All of the above are what law enforcement members are standing with and for, especially after honorable and Boy and Eagle Scout officers were assaulted for doing their jobs, THEN called the problem for speaking out about being assaulted.

Case rested!

But this ridiculous speech outside of the hijacked Gracie Mansion, should definitely be re-enacted by South Park, because it is comical, ridiculous, scary, and over the top. And the Hazel Dukes woman. 92-years of turning away from persons getting harmed by Adams, Shams, Larry Davis and the like.

Eric Adams indictment unsealed: NYC mayor accused of accepting improper campaign contributions

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is accused of taking bribes and illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A 57-page five-count federal indictment unsealed on Thursday morning has charged Mayor Eric Adams with bribery, wire fraud and accepting improper campaign contributions.

Adams is specifically charged with bribery, solicitation of illegal foreign campaign contributions, wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud -- charges that expose the mayor to significant prison time if convicted.

Among other things, prosecutors allege that Adams received free and steeply discounted flight upgrades valued at more than $100,000, as well as campaign contributions from straw donors, some of which helped him qualify for more than $10 million in matching public campaign funds.

"Mayor Adams took these contributions knowing they were illegal and aimed at buying influence," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams stated. According to the indictment, the mayor received first-class flights and stays in opulent hotels while failing to disclose the gifts, as required by law. "Year after year, he kept the public in the dark, claiming he received no gifts," Williams added.

Notice, in decades, ZERO sympathy from Adams or his supporters for NYPD Rookie Police Officer Edward Byrne, simply doing his job, protecting an elderly black woman, who was tired of the drugs and crimes infesting her neighborhood. That speaks volumes. Adams proudly stands with the killers of Edward Byrne — yup, that is him in the documentary, praising the murderers of Officer Byrne, same as his praise for Shams DaBaron a/k/a Ramone Buford Sr., the roommate, supporter and champion of Larry Davis, whom Adams placed into his "mayoral"cabinet, under the fake guise of homelessness.

Eric Adams continues to stand with corrupt Shams da Baron a/k/a Ramone Buford, confirming that Adams was part of the corruption with Shams and Larry Davis. It's clear that Adams is as anti-white, pro-corruption, as Shams da Scams. Adams was made aware of Shams during his Mayoral campaign, and made aware by various persons AFTER his election. NY State Inspector General docs, which also include EVERY SINGLE PARTNER OF SHAMS, including his NYState convict brother, Rahiem, still exist. Adams has chosen to state publicly that a cop shooter's life matters more than others. Anyone who shoots/harms a cop, will harm ANYONE. Adams stands with the promoter and BFF-for-life of a horrific cop shooter, murderer and drug trafficker.

More senseless gun violence. As long as Eric Adams is mayor of NYC, and Jumaane Williams is public advocate, the violence will only increase.

This is all their karma, from encouraging "fuck the police" mentality, while ignoring crimes in their own areas for decades, and while rushing to pass judgement against law enforcement members. It's also sickening for cops injured by Larry Davis, seeing Shams da Baron a/k/a Ramone Buford, in the mayor's administration. Buford testified on behalf of Davis - against NYPD, lived with Davis, and cheered Davis on AFTER shooting #NYPD officers. A complete disrespect to all law enforcement everywhere. https://abc7ny.com/shooting-police-pursuit-crash-bushwich/11796796/

If NYPD had accidentally knocked a cane of one of the citizens while chasing down a teen, who was attempting to bash anyone in the head, Jumaane would have been front and center to trash NYPD.

Meanwhile, my lifesavers, the 44th Precinct, which showed me respect and dignity at the lowest point of my life, showed up in force to help out!

Well now, extortion birds of a feather, flock together! Finally some good news, evil gets got. THANK YOU, FBI!! "Bling B, didn't have no receipts!" to prove what he claimed was stolen from him was rightfully his!! But he sought fame and admiration after screwing people over, lifelong.

After months of headline grabbing incidents, where he was both the accused and the victim, Whitehead is in the spotlight once again, this time after federal prosecutors accused him of fraud, extortion and making false statements to the FBI about business deals with members of his Brooklyn church.

“Lamor Whitehead abused the trust placed in him by a parishioner, bullied a businessman for $5,000, then tried to defraud him of far more than that, and lied to federal agents,” U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said after Whitehead’s arrest. “His campaign of fraud and deceit stops now.”

hmmm... I wonder where he learned this from? or did his "friends" set him up, in their conquest for a POTUS run?

Whitehead, 45, who counts Mayor Adams among his friends, is little more than a false prophet who took advantage of men and women who sought his spiritual and financial guidance, the feds charge. Whitehead, pastor of the Leaders of Tomorrow International Ministry in Canarsie, sought money and other things of value from victims on the basis of threats and false promises victims’ investments would benefit the victims financially, according to prosecutors.

Apparently, I didn't get the memo:

I'm told from 72.89.251.195 (Staten Island, where Larry Davis' daughter resides) that ONLY Uncle Tom's do not support crack cocaine drug traffickers, gun traffickers, burglars, assault, murderers, domestic batterers, strong-arm robbers, child support frauds (persons who pretend they cannot work to avoid child support payments, while running an organized crime ring), and cop shooters. Everyone else apparently thinks community destroyers are the "cool people" to model after, look up to. Lawd hammercy!

72.89.251.195-Staten Island's words to me: "trying to tear down a brother" (Ramone) and "Wow your a little..." - yes "your" vs. "you're"... I guess this explains why guns are preferred over books in Ruben Diaz Sr.'s South Bronx! But added their nonsense to the FBI files for these community destroying clowns, who need to look at themselves, first and foremost. https://www.tamra.nyc/awww-sad.php

Remembered the time Larry and sham snatched your candy in third grade.and made it a fictional Hollywood story cmon bro get a life besides trying to tear down a brother.

UMMMM, who's "bro"? I know person cannot spell, just like Hilliard's Reed. But... MURDER, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, EXTORTION, BLACKMAIL, THEFT BY DECEPTION, THEFT OF PROPERTY, ASSAULT, FALSE REPORTING OF A CRIME, ESPECIALLY TO EDGEWATER, NJ POLICE, is actually tearing a brother OR sister down.

OH THE IRONY!

The man who brought Shams/Ramone into the spotlight, and stood by the "homeless hero," doesn't have a problem with homeless Jordan Neely being murdered by someone who never gave a rat's ass about homeless (including veterans), mental illness (including veterans), and disabled (including veterans). And I'm posting link from PIX11 first, the network which helped created a homeless hero out of an organized criminal, Shams, while Jordan Neely, an actual homeless person, is being vilified as a "career criminal who deserved to die." https://pix11.com/news/local-news/man-dies-after-being-placed-in-a-chokehold-by-a-subway-rider/

In the absence of video showing what happened before the chokehold, many were reserving judgment. Among them was Mayor Eric Adams, who said Thursday that there were "many layers" to the incident. He rejected criticism that he has not expressed enough outrage over Neely's death, unlike other officials who have called for a quick arrest. "All the other electeds, they have a role to play and I have a role to play. The police is doing their investigation and the district attorney is doing his investigation, and I respect the process," Adams said.

but another protest I will sit out, because I've alread proven through the top of the food chain (Rockefellers) and serial predators, that black lives DON'T matter. 🥱 https://pix11.com/news/local-news/wheres-the-justice-family-of-jordan-neely-distraught-over-his-death/

Eric Adams has tailor-suited up Shams DaBaron aka Ramone Buford, the right-hand man of NYPD cop shooter, Larry Davis

And Shams is his tailor-suited advocate for homeless and those struggling with mental health. Now, that's funny, because I do recall that none of their grime-crime crew giving ZERO f's about my mental health, while hoping I'd keep quiet about their organized crime crew, AFTER hustling me, while I was literally and legally pursuing my dreams with the skills I WORKED for.

I can never forget a woman named, "Denise," who almost ended her life because of the scams of Shams, Troy Reed and the entire Larry Davis crew. Reed entered the woman's life, went so far as to move in with her, told her that he loved her, proposed, all while he was sneaking the niece of Larry Davis into her apartment for sex, as Denise worked during the day and planned her wedding. Then, after buying, with Denise's money, expensive clothes (same style as Adams, by the way) and all of the video equipment used to create "Street Stars Presents" fake documentaries to glorify his gangster friends, Reed abruptly left her, not telling her anything. Shams, Rahiem, Reed to this day, laugh and joke about it, publicly, and made no attempts to make amends, while her soul remains tormented. Shams calls it "just part of the hustle, doin' what we gotta do to survive." 😲

Keep f'g around with Shams w/ corrupt Eric Adams, and see how many more neglected and dead bodies turn up! Organized criminals CANNOT have empathy for others, NOR be the solution for "humanity". Once this person entered homeless shelters, traumatized, he should have become a priority for quality help, including safe housing and healthcare. Shams and Adams were probably out at a club, five-star partying, private jetting, while this was going on.

Gordon had been in and out of homeless shelters over roughly the last year after he separated from his wife.

"I wanted to tell her [that] this is bigger than us, to let him go back to the shelter, but no one was listening to me," the sibling said. "She took him in. There's no reason for this."

Gordon began to unravel after he and his wife separated, catapulting him into a state in which he was "suffering deeply, deeply from depression and mental illness," according to his sister.

As she watched her brother's mental health deteriorate, the concerned sister took Gordon to mental health facilities — but he was routinely released.

Gordon, a father of three, bounced from shelter to shelter before Watson took pity on him and welcomed him into her home.

A confirmation that #NYCMayor is a con artist:

Adams: "I am making mental health a priority. Even if person refuses help, we will see to it that the person gets the help needed."

Courtney Gordon was of zero concern to Adamns and his partner in crime, Shams DaScammer. Also, how can someone mentally ill or criminal sociopaths (Adams and Shams) be responsible for others? Both believe, with all their hearts, that they are the answer, while being the apathetic problem.

A 61-year-old suspect has been charged with beating a fellow homeless man to death during a drunken clash at their encampment in a Brooklyn park, police said Monday.

Raul Hernandez was charged Saturday with murder and weapons possession, police said.

Hernandez allegedly attacked the victim about 1 p.m. Friday during a drunken argument at their encampment on a handball court on the Brooklyn side of Highland Park, cops said.

Anyone noticed that https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/history/chart ↔ the federal minimum wage stopped increasing RIGHT AFTER the epic 2008 bailout of folks who squandered billions, at taxpayers and FDIC banks' expense?

Asking, for the "woke" folks.

In 1980s, I had my own apartment at 18, while making minimum wage. And so many of us were working before 18 to survive, and also working while in school. If our parents could afford college, our first apartment would have been a dorm room, and we still had to save or work for meals and books.

We were the latchkey kids who had to learn how to come home to/from school, alone, cook breakfast - on a stove, do homework, keep house clean, be home by x-time, and appreciate the things we had, because we saw how tired and defeated our parents were at times. Our parents didn't have many job options, while facing at-will termination at any given moment.

And many of us came home to abuse or silence, because of parents' unresolved issues, or the untimely death of a parent (overworked with no healthcare, war, and/OR injustices and other violence), or sheer exhaustion from being forced to work longer hours than others (mental health). All while putting up with on-the-job-racists, who sat around and complained about Affirmative Action.

And now, we just want to see kids SAFE, happy, happy with themselves, with respect for one another. But that's a problem, because that would require all to feel safe and compensated. 🤔 Is it too soon to bring up that bailed out, #TaxCutsAndJobsAct-benefactor Dan Grossman failed up from Venrock to Amazon, while Amazon workers are complaining about pay, working conditions, benefits and more?

Sh*t, life is hard, but shockingly easy for some, who complain, with lobbyists in tow, about wages, healthcare (for workers), earned benefits, and racial history, equality and civil rights.

Richard Rockefeller killed in small plane crash in Westchester County

Friday, June 13, 2014
PURCHASE (WABC) --
Richard Rockefeller was killed when the plane he was piloting crashed near the SUNY Purchase campus Friday morning.

Family spokesman Fraser Seitel said Rockefeller, great grandson of Standard Oil co-founder John D. Rockefeller, was the only person on board. The 64-year-old, of Falmouth, Maine, was a doctor and father of two, according to the spokesman.

The plane, a 2001 Piper, was registered in Portland, Maine. It crashed on Route 120 and Cottage Road in Purchase about 10 minutes after it took off from Westchester County Airport at 8:08 a.m.

The plane struck some trees west of the airfield.

Seitel said Rockefeller had dinner Thursday night with his father, David Rockefeller, who was celebrating his 99th birthday. He was flying back to Maine Friday.

Rindy Abelnour is now a minister.

Let that sink in! The devil is now preaching. She didn't give one shit about me living or dying in South Carolina, and worked with the ultimate evil, Ponzi schemer, Channler Drawdy, to insure I had NO income coming in, to ensure near-death would be painful and long-suffering.

IN FACT, not ONE christian, employed at SteelEye/Lifekeeper, gave a shit. The CHRISTIANS spent more time judging and manipulating lives of others, and ZERO time helping others, who weren't running a Ponzi scheme and preying on others. Got JESUS? NOPE!

But perhaps through church, Rindy will learn honesty, ethics, integrity. WAIT, did I just write that? A confederate-loving, christian... learning honesty, ethics and integrity. Well, that will never happen. Venrock would sooner develop a conscience before Rindy OR Troy Reed, another FAKE christian.

I just realized I knew when I lost all faith in corporations, as in, discovering that "show up, work, do/be the best, and help out without complaining, and all will work out fine" is a lie. No one can ever say, I never worked for them, and often worked grossly underpaid. But that was never enough, for persons who enter a company with their own personal ideology games at businesses expense.

Many companies fail because of internal problems created by Professional Time Wasters - you know who they are, they're standing around the water cooler all day long,
constantly going to the bathroom,
constantly stopping to ask non-stop personal questions ("it's called team building" while I'm wondering what are YOU paid to do, seriously???),
constantly scheduling meetings which have no agenda, but they just wanna "touch base" with persons actually working (have shit to do besides sit in a meeting),
constantly taking off for family reasons, and
constantly turning the office into their personal soap opera, gossip, backstabbing and all.

AIN'T NOBODY BLACK GOT TIME FOR THAT! We are held to different standards, always, and cannot be on that "office politics team", as we are the first on chopping block, no matter how many skills, or years of loyalty thrown in. And a black office gossip is a lot less valuable than a white office gossip, who knows how to drain everyone's time and make the company revolve around their personal problems.

But I lost faith in corporations when my incredibly talented boss, Malcolm at Quixi-NYC, was fired by someone (management) who actually had "TCP/IP" as a skill on his 4-page resume. This is the SAME manager who DEMANDED that we install our monitoring system on the SAME network being monitored. We all just looked at him, especially our boss, because all of our first thoughts: how would you know if the network you're monitoring is down, if it's on the same network??? That question was then stated verbally by our manager, and the question was dismissed by the "great almighty Anwar". Anwar then targeted our boss for termination, because Anwar's skillset was exposed, making him think his job was vulnerable, VERSUS Anwar keeping intelligent employees around who make him AND the company look good.

After my boss was fired, I knew what was next: micromanage - as in two persons doing one job (mine), while I'm doing MULTIPLE jobs, because "we just can't find anyone else right now" (slavery). With a throbbing jaw and neck, from a botched dental procedure, a reverse root canal courtesy of a Gary Johnson (Central Park South), I had to work, no time off, while Becky planned her wedding, on the job! It took a while to get to another dentist, after not even having time to find one, just to have his work undone. Biggest regret, not going back to my primary dentist, who referred me to Mr. Reverse Root Canal, to show them what was done, to fix it immediately. I still, to this day, do not believe that person was a dentist. ONLY in NYC, even at Central Park South.

There was no way in hell I was going to jump through hoops, or play "office insecurity games" with someone that our entire team didn't respect. I was already getting home at 11pm, AND working on weekends, for no extra pay.

I had already gone above and beyond, and it meant dick at any company, because of the ethics of the company - persons looking out for self, persons who didn't show up to work, persons who used the office as their crisis centers (we all have to stop and talk about the caterer that didn't show up, and they had to whip something up for 20-guests. poor them! ) I wonder what a fresh-outta-college student, sitting across from the "crisis center", is doing for meals, especially since they can't even afford a meal while paying off student loans. And at one company, my fresh-outta-Montana boss, constantly asked me "negro file" (racist) questions, which were just unreal, but her idea of "team building", as she wanted to know all personal details about her "team", versus hiring persons who don't just sit and write up testing plans to follow to a tee, but persons who will also USE the friggin' product, as a consumer - how I found her team's show stopping bug.

And I had just left that shit at SteelEye, with Ponzi schemer Drawdy, constantly calling all to find out who knew what or said what about him. If Drawdy had any common sense, he would have simply sat back and not draw too much attention to the fact that he WAS A PONZI SCHEMER, in business with his drug trafficking and money laundering brother and friend. If he had any ethics, he wouldn't have taken the job, as his intention was NOT to work, but to siphon money.

And then there was the gay confederate, Tim, Rindy's secretary who listened for anything said about his beloved confederate flag, so that he could break out his "southern manners lesson," to me a black woman from the South, as I just stared at him, thinking this ain't Dukes of Hazzard, Gone With The Wind, nor a cult, but an office where tolerance of confederate flag should not be promoted, esp. when you're promoting domestic, racist terrorists, and your employer is now based in California.

But to watch persons who showed up to work, either to play office games or just feed their families, jumping out of WTC windows on 9/11, was a reminder that no one should literally be worked to death, stressed out because of office harassment (sexual, racism), or underpaid while performing 4-5 jobs. That's not why corporations are started. The company startup starts with a product or service idea, and each person who walks through the door should be a part of the company's success, including PROFITS with fair pay.

But... that's fantasy, does not exist, esp. with Karen's and BIFF's roaming office halls daily.

This sums up the ethics of the top of Silicon Valley today.

It used to be "onlyness" (only black person at company or group or only woman in group), but at least you had a chance to work, and not be bothered by nonsense. Unless you're on a team where they're so focused on you being black (GS, JL). But now, no one has a chance. You can show up to work daily, get stuff done, work long hours leading to isolation away from family/friends, and still be laid off as non-essential. Meanwhile, others work to stab others in the back, while the company itself engages in dishonest business practices and/or fraud (distribution of trademark infringement property, distribution of stolen property, sexual/racial/retaliatory harassment all while playing "victim").

Whoaaaa, there was a fire here (Staten Island), then a dispute between management and the employees, who refused to enter building b/c of unsafe conditions. FDNY did determine the building was safe after fire doused, but this was after several other unrelated safety issues.

The person who runs operations for Amazon: Dan Grossman, from Venrock, the company which funded the Ponzi schemer ($22-million) at company I relocated to SC for job. No concern for employees, just getting rich. NO LIVES MATTER to Grossman, especially black lives. My life is the receipt of ZERO fucks given. To work for Venrock, one must leave ethics, corporate responsibility, integrity, decency and honor at the door. Then again, persons with ethics, corporate responsibility, integrity, decency nor honor are denied by Venrock. And now Grossman has brought his "mentality" to Amazon operations.

The workers are standing up for themselves, but watch how this ends for workers. Amazon would sooner dissolve, than do right by employees. And people ask me why I don't shop Amazon.

2008 DEJAVU!! Silicon Valley Bank!! https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/silicon-valley-bank-collapse-news-updates-rcna74384

This is what happens when frat and golf buddies, OR white males with shitty ideas are only financed for startups! Consumers dictate supply and demand, AND create jobs in the process. But how many more failups will it take before this lesson is learned?

these GOP fucks have given millionaires #TaxCutsAndJobsAct! BUT IN protest to interest rate hikes, which middle and working class will pay burden of, rich fucks are removing billions from US banks to OVERSEAS destinations, while their money sitting in banks make more money. And on top of that, fucks like Dorsey are pushing crypto currency.

I hope Anonymous starts a Robin Hood Op! this shit has to end, soon. with Tax Cuts And #Jobs Act, ECONOMY FAILED, while wealthier got wealthier, at the expense of infrastructure - making all vulnerable. THE GOAL!!

First Republic bank... ain't it funny how biffs have a safety net, always available for their royal f ups? let a black person lose this type of money, there'd be no more venture capitalism through FDIC banks!! but here's another example of venture capital fraud and waste - had money been used honestly, ethically, while seeking credible ventures, all would have thrived. instead venture caps and start up CEOs paid themselves first, and royally.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/first-republic-bank-is-seized-sold-to-jpmorgan-in-second-largest-u-s-bank-failure-5cec723

A focus on America's coastal elite helped First Republic become one of the most valuable U.S. banking franchises. Big deposits from customers with lots of cash funded low-rate jumbo mortgages to wealthy home buyers. Ultralow interest rates and a pandemic savings boom supercharged the bank's growth. When the Fed began raising interest rates last year to cool inflation, customers began demanding higher yields to keep their money at First Republic. Rising rates also dented the value of loans the bank made when rates were near zero.
