Cuomo Hires Dolts Who Need Ethical Training Every Two Years

Andrew Cuomo hopes, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public." ~H. L. Mencken

                    Albany Monkey Business Alert: More Theater with smiling cheeks Accomplishing Nothing
  

AP News reported, "Cuomo also issued an executive order requiring top executive branch officials to undergo ethics training that must begin by Jan. 31 and to be re-certified every two years to work in what has been a scandal-plagued state government." 
  
Is this an excuse used to protect Cuomo and his lackeys from criminal prosecutions?
     Or is Cuomo hiring moral dolts who don't know ethical conduct without taking a refresher course every two years?
     And will members of the NY legislature and our NY Judiciary, who may be also moral dolts, be without ethics because they haven't taken such an ethics course?

      Perhaps, is this a Cuomo job creation plan for Moral Dolts without innate (genetic) ethical sensibilities to make them employable. (some morality is genetic and exists in monkeys and other primates)
    
     Or worse, is this the follow-up to  Cuomo suspending criminal prosecutions by the Attorney General, when Cuomo becomes governor?

     The only moral or ethical code that works for government employees is laws with criminal penalties and prosecution certainty for those crimes.   Andrew Cuomo failed miserably as Attorney General and as HUD Secretary.  (see links in Index above).
This is Cuomo repeating his M.O., Modus operandi, "Lots of bluster about crime, ethics, cleaning the Swamp and then nothing as the crooks get away or get a slap on the wrist and they promise not to do it again."

    How stupid does Cuomo think the People are?  Only a dolt or moron would believe an ethics course every two years will stop a crooked state employee.

    If you want ethics and better government, change the laws as in: Better Laws #1: Brave New NY Politician's World: Official Misconduct is a Felony  

Change the old version of NY Penal Law: § 195.00 Official misconduct. A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit: 1. He commits an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized; or
2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office. Official misconduct is a class A misdemeanor.

To a "Better" Penal Law (changes in red): § 195.00 Official misconduct.
A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit:
1. He commits an act relating to his office but constituting an unauthorized exercise of his official functions, knowing that such act is unauthorized; or
2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office.

3. Judges, judicial employees, employees of all NY State entities under judicial supervision and the Commission on Judicial Conduct are included as public servants under this law.

Official misconduct is a class C felony.


     Get real Andrew Cuomo, even Shakespeare knew learned morality is no hindrance to crime: "The devil can site scripture for his own purpose! An evil soul producing holy witness is like a villain with a smiling cheek." ~Merchant Of Venice. 
     Government employees with smiling cheeks learn ethics by watching the criminal prosecutions of caught government employees and the longer the sentence the deeper the learning goes. 
Has Cuomo taken this ethics class?


News Flash: Last night, Cuomo awoke startled after again dreaming of the "Ghost of NY Yet To Come." He was sure, this time, he saw the pitchforks.

Andrew Cuomo's Vision Of New York's New Justice System Appears In Charley Rangel's Tears

"The Government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men." Chief Justice Marshall writing in Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)

      We can see NY's future from Andrew Cuomo's new vision of Justice in Charlie Rangel's theatrics this week in his "Ethics Trial."  Andrew Cuomo has said he'll not authorize the new Attorney General, Scheiderman, to investigate and prosecute criminally that special class of crooked NY politicians.
 
      Although, Charlie Rangel has admitted, "Rangel's solicitation letters asked for $30 million, or $6 million a year for five years," Andrew Cuomo failed to prosecute Rangel under NY Penal Law §100.05 Criminal solicitation in the fourth degree.  A person is guilty of criminal solicitation in the fourth degree when: 1. with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a felony, he solicits, requests, commands, importunes or otherwise attempts to cause such other person to engage in such conduct.

      Although, Rangel has admitted, "Failure to pay taxes for 17 years," Andrew Cuomo failed to prosecute Rangel under NY Tax Law §1806. Criminal tax fraud in the first degree. A person commits criminal tax fraud in the first degree when he or she commits a tax fraud act or acts and, with the intent to evade any tax due under this chapter,or to defraud the state or any subdivision of the state, .. Criminal tax fraud in the first degree is a class B felony.

      Did you see the theatric pain that NY's ruling class's Rangel showed while wiping away the tears in his eyes.  Do you now appreciate Andrew's new vision for New York to replace criminal prosecution of crooked politicians with new ethics laws and ethics investigations?

      Thank you, Andrew for your vision that our ruling class needs special treatment, while the lowly we respond best to the full penal weight of the law.  "Tears punish our ruling class better than  jail."

      Andrew, thank you for your more just system where laws are relative to a person's stature and class and do not blindly treat all as equal before the law.    Justice Marshall was the past from 1803 and you are our future.

Andrew Cuomo Hopes To Fool NY Sheeple About Wolf 2, Alan Hevesi, Going To Jail

              "The wolf guarding the sheep."

        More sound and fury from Wolf 1 (Andrew Cuomo), about prosecuting Wolf 2 (Alan  Hevesi), and signifying another wolf on the sheeple scam.  Look, the Devil hides in the details.
  1.  "Approval from Mr. Cuomo not to prosecute his [Alan Hevesi's] two sons, Wolf 3 (Assemblyman Andrew Hevesi) and former state senator  Wolf 4 (Daniel Hevesi)."
   2.  And then revealed through Carl Paladino, in Plattsburgh, yesterday, "Cuomo is recommending no jail time for Wolf 2 (Alan Hevesi)."
    3. The fooled sheeple will be told after election of Cuomo's plea bargain recommendation "to give him probation." so that Wolf 2, (Alan Hevesi), won't go to jail. 


       Now look at restitution that resulted from Wolf 1 (Andrew Cuomo):  "Markstone Capital agreed in February to repay $18 million in management fees to the Common Retirement Fund."  and  "Quadrangle agreed in April to pay $12 million to settle investigations by Mr. Cuomo and the Securities and Exchange Commission."
       Was restitution obtained by Cuomo from the (Hevesi) Wolves 2, 3 and 4 for their ill gotten gains and money for elections ("nearly $1 million in overseas travel, campaign contributions and other benefits") and "Mr. Broidy had spent $75,000 on travel by [Hevesi], others from the pension fund and his adult children, including both his sons, people familiar with the matter said. That included five trips to Israel and once to Italy. Mr. Broidy also paid for expenses on political fund-raising trips to California."?     No, the Restitution obtained by Cuomo from the [Hevesi] Wolves 2, 3, and 4 was None.


        And what about Wolf 5 and his needs?  Cuomo has decided "no action is warranted involving an investment increased under current Wolf 5 (Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli), a Democrat with Intermedia Partners Advisors, initially approved during (Wolf 2) Mr. Hevesi's tenure as comptroller, and [Wolf 5] is running for re-election."

        Wolf 1 (Andrew Cuomo) showed his compassion and his tremendous job in protecting Wolves 2, 3, 4 and 5.     Andrew hopes his sheeple will be drowsing until after they elect their new Shepherd, Wolf 1 (Andrew Cuomo).


      A CuomoTARP wake up trumpet blast, "wake up, Sheeple, and drive Wolf 1 (Andrew Cuomo), and the other wolves out."   Read the endorsement of Carl Paladino in the post below.

MIA Andrew Cuomo Found Feeding At AEG Cash Bait Drop In Albany Swamp

"When you're an integral part of the feeding frenzies of the alligators, you don't drain the swamp"

             Andrew, you've gotten fat!

 

   Put on your hip boots and a clip on your nose and wade into the Swamp and barf directly into the swamp and not on someone else when you hear Andrew Cuomo croaking, “The basic premise is, well, if people give you money maybe you’ll be influenced. Not if you have integrity, and if you don’t have integrity you’ll be influenced because of the money, you’ll be influenced because of the politics, you’ll be influenced because somebody is a friend of somebody.”

     Smell the latest swamp gas bubble: "An eight-month probe by state Inspector General Joseph Fisch of one of the largest-ever state contracts — a 30-year franchise to run a downstate casino worth potentially billions of dollars — reveals an almost breathtaking array of abuses by top Democratic officials controlling the legislative and executive branches." 

     Be astonished at the stench just as an incredulous Inspector General, Fisch, who said,."This is Sen. Sampson," [who gave] confidential information to Carl Andrews, a former state senator and AEG lobbyist at the time.  Sampson's lack of recall during his interview with investigators was remarkable.  "I stopped counting the number of 'I don't recalls' when I reached 100," he said of Sampson's testimony." 
"Every single major leader of the Senate Democrats is being recommended to the federal prosecutor or the district attorney to be investigated criminally"

      See the Senate Democrats feeding at the AEG cash bait drop joined by a hungry Andrew Cuomo,  "Of course he did receive contributions from the players in the AEG scandal." "Nor does it change the fact that Cuomo has received campaign contributions from individuals and companies aligned with the scandal, including Levine Builders, Turner Construction, Greenstar Services, and Floyd Flake." 


      We've located in the Albany Swamp Andrew Cuomo, whose integrity he says is above reproach.  He wasn't MIA in this scandal, nor draining the Albany Swamp.  He was battling to get his fair share at the AEG cash bait drop in the Albany Swamp. 

Part 1 Andrew Cuomo's Corruption Allowed $400 Million To Be Added to $1.2 Billion In NY Medicaid Fraud Which Must Be Refunded By NY State To Federal Government

NOTICE: This exposes massive fraud and liability for NY State in only a small part sample of NY's Medicaid.
After this NOTICE, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s will have a liability for cover-up, if they don't correct NY Bond ratings before the election.

Note that NY Medicaid isn't really benefiting its intended, i.e. "physical abuse or threats of physical abuse, theft, and beneficiary abandonment."

NY State will have to repay US Government from where?  Bankruptcy, service collapses

One man is responsible for this cover-up, this non-prosecution and $1.3 Trillion in federal losses and $5 Billion in NY State and NY County losses.

      To Andrew Cuomo: no one, nor NY State can afford your profligate indifference to your costs generated by your toleration of corruption.   The latest 10/8/2010 Federal Inspector General report for 2004 to 2006 shows over $115 million is needed to be refunded by NY State to the Federal Government and if we conservatively multiply this for 2007 to 2010 by three, we have about $350 million to be refunded for this one item alone in this Inspector General Report.  And this isn't all, an earlier post showed $1.2 billion in Medcaid fraud reimbursement owed to Federal Government.  And, worse, NY State and its counties have paid and lost a matching sum.   And from the post below, we know you, Andrew Cuomo, are a control freak.

  Here's the Inspector General's condensed report:

  DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
Office of Inspector General, Washington, D.C. 20201

           October 8, 2010

TO: Donald M. Berwick, M.D. Administrator,  [NY]Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

FROM: /Daniel R. Levinson, Inspector General

SUBJECT: Review of Medicaid Personal Care Services Claims Made by Providers in  New York State (A-02-08-01005)

Our audit period covered January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2006.

Pursuant to Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the Medicaid program provides medical assistance to low-income individuals and individuals with disabilities. The Federal and State Governments jointly fund and administer the Medicaid program. At the Federal level, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers the program. Each State administers its Medicaid program in accordance with a CMS-approved State plan. Although the State has considerable flexibility in designing and operating its Medicaid program, it must comply with applicable Federal requirements.

In New York State (the State), the Department of Health (DOH) administers the Medicaid program. Within DOH, the Office of Long Term Care oversees the personal care services program. Each county’s social services district is responsible for authorizing personal care services, arranging service delivery, and monitoring the personal care services program.

[Problems] include, but are not limited to, physical abuse or threats of physical abuse, theft, and beneficiary abandonment.

We recommend that the State: • refund $100,335,472 to the Federal Government;
• improve its monitoring of the personal care services program to ensure compliance with Federal and State requirements;

• work with CMS to resolve the eight CDPAP claims and, if applicable, refund the estimated $15,325,689 in unallowable payments;

(end of condensed letter)

   It's reported that Andrew Cuomo was personally involved in everything in his office (likely, this was leaked by his underling "rats", who feared being blamed or prosecuted) .   So Andrew knew of these frauds and chose to do nothing, except put his CuomoTARP over the corruption.

   Andrew Cuomo's cost is astronomical.  Follow the links to just a few examples below on this blog.

First step: Lock him away from any control over NY Finances or any oversight function. 
Second step:  New Governor orders new AG to prosecute and recover losses due to criminal fraud.

"Pretty Boys," Cuomo and Tembeckjian, Are The Smiling Facade On NY Corruption

There were NY Senate Hearings into corruption in the NY Courts and in the Attorney Grievance Committees of Appellate Courts and in the NY Commission on Judicial Conduct.  I testified at those hearings which were recorded in three very long videos:
9/24/2009 
http://www.youtube.com/nysenateuncut#p/u/0/knQLll5hmjs
6/8/2009 part one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR8OX8uuAbw
6/8/2009 part two
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28afajRkDwY

Here above is "Pretty Boy" Robert Tembeckjian of NY Commission on Judicial Conduct, all primed, at above hearings.

    At the above hearings, in order to be heard concisely, I promised to shorten my presentation to less than 5 minutes using only the most deplorable criminal conduct of Judge Kevin K. Ryan, Mr. Tembeckjian and the NY Commission on Judicial Conduct members.   My less than 5 minute presentation follows:


       My above mentioned letter to Mr. Tembeckjian and to each member of the NY Commission on Judicial Conduct was individually sent to each by certified mail.  There was no excuse, other than dementia, for Mr. Tembeckjian or the other members of the Commission to not know that such trial conduct was illegal and wilful misconduct under the NY Constitution's § 6. ...The power of grand juries to inquire into the wilful misconduct in office of public officers, and to find indictments or to direct the filing of informations in connection with such inquiries, shall never be suspended or impaired by law. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. 

   The wilful misconduct was not only by Judge Kevin K. Ryan, but by Mr. Tembeckjian and each member of the NY Commission on Judicial Conduct.  And as per above Constitutional clause, Andrew Cuomo could have had a grand jury indict or file an informations against Mr. Tembeckjian and all members of the Commission. (In NY as per above Constitutional clause, there is no immunity for anyone because  "such inquiries, shall never be suspended or impaired by law.")

    I filed with Andrew Cuomo a sworn criminal complaint concerning the wilful failure of Mr. Tembeckjian and each member of the Commission to carry out their duties as imposed upon them in their oath of office and clearly inherent in the nature of their offices for violation of Penal Law § 195.00 Official misconduct. A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit: ... 2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office.

    
     Andrew Cuomo, you also failed to do your duties, as clearly inherent in the nature of your office.    The People of NY want the corrupt in jail.

  See their smiling faces; see their styled hair; ignore their filthy hands.  "Pretty Boys," Robert Tembeckjian and Andrew Cuomo, are the smiling facade of NY corruption.

                     The recommendation
        Is Andrew incompetent, or a clever cheat scheming to enrich himself and pals,  or a spoiled brat who's been taught that he's owed something, or Gollum obsessed with the "ring"?     It doesn't matter, he needs to be stopped.

       Luckily, an alternate opportunity opened up with Spitzer's low ratings and desperate need of a stylist.  
 Spitzer's madam reports, "That is sort of synonymous of what the girls told me about him in bed, that he was boring, so I guess the expectations were met." and "I read that they were investing all this money in a stylist and I thought no matter what money you throw at this man, at the end of the day, he's still a gremlin and a dishonest, corrupt career politician whose only interest is rehabilitating his own image enough to get back into politics."

          You, Andrew, although you are a corrupt, dishonest career politician, you're a handsome gremlin and not much money needs be spent on a stylist.   You didn't cheat on your wife, she cheated on you and, hopefully, she won't report you were a dud in bed.   You're an ideal Spitzer's replacement and your ratings can only exceed Spitzer's dismal ratings.

Cuomo's Dual Role As Both A Financial And A Corruption Moral Hazard

Wikipedia describes "moral hazard:" "Politicians and regulators representing the taxpayer and voter may regulate financial institutions to lend money to specific voting blocks, special ethnicities, special interests, favored companies, and unionized businesses with favored unions, rather than regulate financial institutions to lend money in such a fashion as to reduce the risk the taxpayer will have to bail them out, particularly if the bailout is likely to happen after the next elections."  This aptly describes Andrew Cuomo's acts as HUD Secretary.   But Cuomo's also succeeded in extending "moral hazard" to NY State corruption.

"Andrew Cuomo became a "corruption moral hazard", to add to his prior "financial moral hazard" status.   In an earlier post here, Cuomo's CAP program's failure to be implemented was the beginning part of Cuomo's "corruption moral hazard"  And in the same post, "Cuomo turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans " This was Cuomo's earlier incarnation as the "financial moral hazard" which directly caused the Federal Tarp bailout and our present economic malaise.  See Cuomo's "smoking gun."

Cuomo as a "corruption moral hazard" was accentuated by his representation of crooked lawyers, judges and other State employees in Federal lawsuits. This is the direct cause of a newly  pending federal action 08 Civ 2391, which concerns fraud, NY State corruption and $140,000.00 stolen from American Red Cross 9/11 donation money- still unpaid; and which names
THE STATE OF NEW YORK; THE OFFICE OF COURT
ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIFIED COURT SYSTEM; THE N.Y. STATE COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL CONDUCT; THE N.Y.S. 1ST DEPT., DEPARTMENTAL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE; THE N.Y.S. GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE, 9TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT;
and the following State employees
THOMAS J. CAHILL, in his official and individual capacity;
SHERRY K. COHEN, in her official and individual capacity;
GARY L. CASELLA, in his official and individual capacity;
NANCY J. BARRY, in her official and individual capacity;
FRANCIS A. NICOLAI, in his official and individual capacity;
JOSEPH M. ACCETTA, in his official and individual capacity,
ROBERT M. DIBELLA, in his official and individual capacity;
ANTHONY A. SCARPINO, in his official and individual capacity

  Cuomo's duty is to NY State and a honest lawful government, not to the protection of crooked State employees.  But, Andrew Cuomo used NY State funds and employees to defend fraud, theft and corruption criminal acts and to obstruct justice by not protecting NY State's interest in honest government and instead defending the criminal acts by State employees.

Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."


       Andrew Cuomo, you cannot serve the People of NY and Mammon's corrupt NY courts.  Your failure to carry out your CAP program encouraged more corruption and your multiple defenses of crooked State employees in a large number of Federal Corruption cases while Attorney General encouraged even more. The "smoking gun post" has a exact copy of your memo creating a financial moral hazard and along with it our current recession (depression?).
