Control Freak Andrew Cuomo Rated "Best Buy" While NY Sheeple Fear Fleecing Or Worse

Warning: Fred Dicker (NY Post), the NY Times and the Times Union might advise the NY sheeple to avoid any unpleasant  thoughts which may arise from this post.

       Has our "Shepherd to Be" already sold out to the wolf pack?

       Andrew Cuomo is rated a "best buy" says the Financial Department at CuomoTARP.   We base this on the continued success of Andrew Farkas' investment in Cuomo, which began with  “Here’s a man who stole millions of dollars, and Andrew gives him a pass,”

      And Cuomo following the advice that "nice guys finish last"  punished Farkas' enemy when, "Andrew Cuomo knows full well that his own inspector general recommended full and total prosecution of Andrew Farkas, yet Cuomo quashed the charges personally. Worse, he then moved to ruin IG Susan Gaffney's career because she didn't buy Andrew's gambit."

      But the NY sheeple were earlier assured when, "Mr. Farkas said he understood why their relationship was viewed with suspicion. But he insisted his motives were pure, saying he was not seeking any personal gain." 

       Only the "control freak, Andrew Cuomo" knows whether Farkas benefited when "Everything that has transpired at HUD is not an accident, and it sure isn't a computer glitch. ...it is impossible to explain it as anything other than significant financial fraud. The losses could be far greater than $59 billion, but they don't know for sure because the audit isn't completed. Secretary Cuomo is a very smart control freak, so it's ludicrous to think that he doesn't know what is going on."

     We've learned that Farkas profits, when others lose their shirts. In the financial collapse of Dubai World, Farkas invested in more than $2 billion of U.S. property deals.   But, "Despite Dubai World's problems, Mr. Farkas earned at least $70 million in advisory fees, according to people familiar with the matter. He also cashed out his ownership stakes early, netting tens of millions of dollars, according to these people."

      Now, Farkas has invested $18 million dollars in Cuomo's election campaign.  Farkas must know he'll get a good deal out of Andrew Cuomo. 

      And other investors in Andrew's campaign, the rich lawyers, have assured us, ""We do not think that the attorney general of New York would make it any easier for lawyers or cut any slack for their clients because of the lawyers’ prior campaign contributions,”

      Andrew, will Farkas profit while NY follows Dubai into financial collapse?  Are you and Farkas looking for a trifecta of winnings from three financial collapses?   And Andrew, what is the due that you, or Farkas or the other investors in your campaign will extract from the sheeple of NY?   A screwing, a fleecing or a glut of lamb chops on the market?

Andrew Cuomo Kisses And Makes Up With The Albany Swamp's Legislature Vermin, Reprobate Politicians, A Whore

        Do you have what it takes to be with Andrew Cuomo's friends under the CuomoTARP Tent located in the Albany Swamp?
               WATCH OUT!

                    Is it Andrew, or one of his friends?
  The friends list:
   Rep. Charles Rangel parties with Gov. Paterson, AG Andrew Cuomo at birthday bash

   A friend that Spitzer had to pay for, but is free for Cuomo, Ashley Dupre  (Is soliciting allowed under the CuomoTARP Tent?)


   Brooklyn Democratic boss Vito Lopez and his massive social-services empire faces two federal investigations into alleged improprieties.   But, Cuomo said  Lopez, "is my good friend;" "We do a lot of good work together." while seated across from Lopez during a gathering with Hasidic leaders in Williamsburg.    Lopez, who definitely needs Andrew's continued indulgence, is preparing to lead the chorus for "What a friend we have in Andrew" hymn on the left side of this blog.

   The Slime Covered Swamp Vermin in the NY Legislature who Cuomo promised to clean out are now Cuomo's friends.  Cuomo said, “I don’t believe there’s going to be a confrontation. The Legislature doesn’t want trouble. They want good news from a P.R. point of view. They need redemption. They need a friend. Eliot could have been their best friend. I think I can be their best friend.”

    David Paterson, as friend? or as obedient house boy who knows where his goose could be cooked and won't upset the Cuomo apple cart?

  Andrew Farkas, rehabilitated after, "Cuomo accused Farkas of paying millions in kickbacks to the owners of buildings that Insignia managed, and the company settled the case by paying a hefty fine. But the two apparently patched up their dispute: Cuomo later took a high-paying position with Insigna"


     Allen Isaac, who hopefully learned why Audrey says, "There's no free lunch."  Along with all the other reprobates, crooks, and others exposed in this blog.

    And on a high rock of honor ($18 million price), which he purchased, is Farkas, who profited from mortgage crisis here in NY and profited from his misdealings in United Arab Emirates.   "Thanks to Farkas, Cuomo’s current campaign war chest for governor is $18 million – big enough to eliminate primary competition before it starts. With a past already raising uncomfortable questions for Cuomo, Farkas is deeply embedded in controversial Middle East financial dealings, having created a “Fannie and Freddie for Dubai” in the United Arab Emirates. A quick wheeler-dealer, Farkas bailed out before the Emirate’s colossal credit crisis, and made a string of similarly well-timed deals with Dubai World in 2009, with whom he flipped marquee Manhattan properties."

     Although the stench under the CuomoTARP tent should be extreme from the combined Albany swamp vermin, reprobate politicians, crooks and Spitzer's doll, high powered fans are in operation.   Do you expect Andrew to become "Lord Potentate of the Swamp"?  Do you want to be Andrew's friend under the Cuomo TARP tent?  You need to pay up and/or enhance your infamy portfolio.

      Listen, the reprobates' chorus in the swamp is beginning,    (Complete Hymn is on left side of this blog)

What a friend we have in Andrew,
all our sins and crimes to bear!
What a relief to not worry with Andrew in the Attorney General chair!
O what peace we ought to forfeit,
O what pain and jail we ought bear,
but we are spared and protected with Andrew in the Attorney General chair.

Andrew Cuomo's Predatory Heart Of Darkness

A journey begins into a modern "Heart of Darkness."   Reuters reports, "Racial predatory loans fueled U.S. housing crisis."

      Predatory lending began in the first Bush administration reports Lucy Komisar and was refined under Andrew Cuomo where, "As Secretary of HUD, Andrew Cuomo reversed the policy of selling defaulted mortgages so that families could keep their homes. Instead, he chose to foreclose on mortgages, which meant that families lost their homes and insiders cleaned up on fire-sale priced properties. The US Treasury also lost billions."    "Cuomo reinstated the old HUD cash-cow-for-political-friends system.   Cuomo took the profits from the loan sales and used them to justify huge new [mortgage insurance] originations, creating a huge housing bubble with the elimination of down payments, encouraging people who could not afford houses to buy them. Defaults went up.   And now instead of working out the defaulted single-family mortgages, he was foreclosing. There was a spike in families losing their homes and investments. But contractors and people handling property management and disposition made money. And there was sharply reduced recovery for the government."

Cuomo enlarged the trough and the swine came running.

   And who benefited from Cuomo?   "The General Accounting Office (GAO)...in 2000 found that the Department was allowing lenders in the federally-insured mortgage business to engage in fraud and “flipping” that left homebuyers with crumbling houses and unaffordable mortgage payments. The fraudsters would buy property, often in poor neighborhoods, make cosmetic repairs and get puffed up property appraisals based in part on falsified documents attesting that homes had been renovated. They would sell them at high prices, with inflated mortgages, to unsuspecting buyers who trusted the appraisals. The owners of the houses quickly discovered their state, but often couldn’t afford to repair their homes, or pay the mortgages, so the mortgages were foreclosed, generating fees for property managers. And “flipped” again. It was the fraud dramatized by the Sopranos."

     "In fiscal 1999, HUD announced that it required $59 billion of “undocumentable adjustments” to balance the books...It had lost track of $59 billion! [But] Cuomo did not order the HUD IG to investigate the reason for the missing billions or to try to get the money back."

       Who was Cuomo protecting?   "The most important man in Andrew Cuomo's personal and political life, topping even his ex-governor father, is obscure, 46-year-old developer Andrew Farkas, who's ponied up over $2 million for the front-running attorney general candidate in recent years.   That includes $1.2 million in salary that Farkas's firm, Island Capital, paid Cuomo in 2004 and 2005, as well as over $800,000 in identifiable campaign contributions from varied Farkas companies, family members, and business associates. It does not include an undisclosed amount Island paid Cuomo up to June 2006.", "

  And what Cuomo did:  Although, "Farkas personally signed a preliminary settlement that August, agreeing to repay HUD $5 million of the management fees it had diverted. In March 1998, the final settlement required the company to pay another $2.4 million, still $200,000 less than the amount the government said Insignia had diverted. The company admitted no wrongdoing, paid no penalties, and was explicitly not required to surrender any of its HUD contracts."       Cuomo's  "HUD even said in the 21-page agreement, also signed by Cuomo's top counsel Howard Glaser, that it would not in any way seek "to limit Insignia's participation" in agency programs."

     Looking into Andrew  Cuomo's heart reveals his "love" for the those benefiting from his tenure at HUD and for his benefactor, Farkas.    While, Andrew Cuomo's rapacious heart could feel nothing for the unfortunate who were foreclosed to flip properties to his preferred, or the HUD tenants deprived of services,  it wasn't racial as implied in  "Racial predatory loans fueled U.S. housing crisis.".   It was Andrew Cuomo and the Devil demanding their due.  Andrew's heart, like the heart of his parabiosis, Gollum, encloses the darkest depravity.  Is Cuomo or the Devil racist?   No, Black, White, Brown or Yellow sheeple are equally fodder to be picked clean by the Devil's vultures circling their local chieftain, Andrew Cuomo.

   As in "Heart of Darkness, where, "Themes developed in the novella's later scenes include the naïveté of Europeans (particularly women) regarding the various forms of darkness in the Congo; the British traders and Belgian colonialists' abuse of the natives and man's potential for duplicity,"  the same themes repeat with the naïveté  of New Yorkers regarding HUD's (Cuomo's) evil intent, the government employees' and HUD lenders' and contractors' abuse of the Black and White natives of NY and Cuomo's duplicity.

  Why could this happen?   Because the "Devil's running dogs" covered and are still covering Cuomo's tracks.  i.e., Fred Dicker (The Post), The NY Times, The Times Union
