Andrew Cuomo's TARP Used To Protect Bank At SEC And Exorcising The False Hope Demon

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me repeatedly and you'll know I live in New York and I have a "need" to believe.

We offer a free exorcism of your false New York hope demon and any "need to believe in New York's Government or its bonds."

       In a recent report, the SEC Inspector General’s description suggests that [Andrew Cuomo's] tactics hamstrung an efficient and timely prosecution of Bank of America, or that Cuomo throw his Cuomo TARP to cover-up and protect at the SEC.

      What's new about this?   Nothing.  It's Andrew Cuomo's M.O..   Check these links on this blog.

1. Laugh and then cry as Cuomo's M.O., Silver, Sampson say one thing while they are working together towards fiscal disaster

2. See the pattern with Cuomo's M.O. where a criminal is not really punished nor makes adequate restitution.

3. See Cuomo M.O. again as he bungles a prosecution (an inadvertent error?) and executives escape

4. Watch while Cuomo allows $59 Billion to disappear while no one is prosecuted and no money returned

       Honestly, were you fooled by Andrew Cuomo in the above beginning quoted SEC Investigation when he "said he routinely obtained “multiples” of what the SEC obtained in its settlements?"   Do you believe Andrew Cuomo really gets more financial restitution and jail time?
      Now, Read: With Sheeple Fooled; Wolf One, Andrew Cuomo, Spares Under-Wolf Six, Hank Morris




Pick out Andrew among the sheep pattern?

Good, now try to see the pattern in links above, it's called Cuomo's M.O.

What's the Cuomo M.O. pattern?  Is it: missing money not recovered; criminals with no jail time; lots of sound and fury about cleaning out corruption and the result is _________?

Now, reality testing. Can Comptroller, DiNapoli, earn 7.5% safe return on NY Pension investments?  Would you buy a bridge from Bernie Madoff?

Did you see the always repeating pattern (the Cuomo M.O.)?

Now use Einstein's definition of Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Will you sell your NY Bonds? (Y)(N)

If yes, your False Hope Demon was driven out, you're cured.  If no, repeat this exorcism.

Midnight Shredding 25,000 Documents And A Thanksgiving Hymn to Andrew

Andrew Cuomo can tell us about "Shredgate" (25,000 documents) which began under Spitzer and ended under Cuomo. "The allegations should violate anyone’s sense of justice: state workers shredding thousands of written requests for name-clearing hearings from people accused of child abuse, then falsely declaring that the accused had withdrawn their requests."   "The shredding party went on for a month in 2004 in the state Office of Children and Family Services’ headquarters in Albany, carried out as most illicit acts are: after midnight, when no one is watching."

       "But the state attorney general’s office, according to a spokesman, never investigated possible crimes or other violations that might have resulted in disciplinary action against the supervisors who ordered the shredding. The attorney general surely was aware of the allegations; his office defended the state in the lawsuit."

    The pattern repeats.   Cuomo's staff places the Cuomo TARP over crimes and/or malfeasances by State employees. The Cuomo TARP protects crooked lawyers, crooked judges and crooked State employees.  Criminal and reprobate State employees have much to thank Cuomo for.

  And a Hymn of Thanksgiving, which can be sung by a Choir of Reprobates in praise of their protector has been written.  It's to the tune of "What a friend we have in Jesus."

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.

2. Have we trials and lamentations?

Are there indictments anywhere?

We need never be discouraged;

when we pay up with Andrew's Share.

Can we find an Attorney General so faithless

who will forsake the People so?

Andrew forgives our crime and avarice;

when we pay up with Andrew's share.

3. Are we fat and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Andrew, still our refuge;

when we pay up with Andrew's share.

Do the Voters despise and hate us? 

Well, we'll pay up with Andrew's share!

In his arms he'll hide and shield us;

we will find our protection there.

Constitution Day 9/18/2010, Cuomo Replaces Bill Of Rights With Cuomo's TARP

The US Constitution gave us the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments) in federal actions, and after the Civil War the fourteenth amendment extended the Bill of Rights to the citizens of all States for State actions.    This was codified in federal law in 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Although Supreme Court First Justice Marshall stated: "The Government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right,"   when citizens of NY attempt to get federal remedy in federal courts for the deprivation of their civil rights by NY State, Andrew Cuomo through his attorneys claims that they can't obtain those rights
.   ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com lists TEN federal cases in the growing New York Ethics Scandal.
1. (07cv09599) Anderson v The State of New York, et al
2. (07cv11196) Bernstein, et al v Appellate Division First Department Disciplinary Committee, et al
3. (07cv11612) Esposito v The State of New York, et al

4. (06cv05169) McNamara v The State of New York, et al   

5. (08cv02391) McKeown v The State of New York, et al

9. (08cv04438) McCormick v The State of New York, et al

10.(08cv05455) Capogrosso v The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct, et al

     In NY, the Bill of Rights, Laws and any remedy for their deprivation  has been replaced by the Bill of Protection for crooked lawyers, judges and other protected State employee, aka, Cuomo's Tarp.

And we have the benefit of government by anointed men with the expected  "Legacy" ascension of Andrew Cuomo to Governor.

 

Cuomo Can Clean Sexual Abuse From His Own Nest On 9/17/2010 Before He Cleans Up Albany

We open with Cuomo's promises from his website Cuomo2010 in blue:

1. Clean Up Albany

We must restore honor and integrity to government.

We must restore honor and integrity to government, with tough new ethics standards, expanded disclosure requirements, independent investigators to root out and punish corruption

       Now, Cuomo has a second chance on September 17 clean his own nest and to restore honor and integrity to his AG office.  While his staff protected and put the Cuomo TARP over NY state employees covering up for connected attorney, Allen Issacs, with their prior Federal Court filing, Cuomo on September 17 can now root out and punish corruption with the same action now again before the Federal Court.

     Here's the story:  Ms. Luisa Esposito fought back against the connected insider and sexual predator, Alan Issacs, in part with this recording.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VPIxOiuT9Q&feature=related

      Ms.Esposito was stymied by the corruption and official misconduct of various NY State and City employees named in her Federal suit.   Cuomo's office chose in the prior Federal suit to defend the acts of the corrupt, rather than "root out and punish the corruption."    Now, Ms. Esposito's is asking to reopen her Federal suit with new information and Judge Shira Scheindlin is giving Cuomo's office a chance to answer by September 17.

       Andrew, did you and your office err by condoning and/or obstructing criminal punishment for the following acts described in the Federal action?   Here's the quote from June 1, 2010 Order of  "The First Dept. Disciplinary Committee[which} charged respondent (Issacs) with professional misconduct including making unwanted sexual advances to LE.  Defendant, Issacs, committed Felony Level Sexual Abuse, Coercion And Soliciting Sex From His Client, Obstruction of Justice, etc., these crimes were reported to Manhattan Special Victims Squad, and listed As "Felony Level Sexual  Abuse"; there was an arrest warrant out for Defendant Allen Issacs, which the Police Department never acted upon because, "favors were called". 

     Here's what to do, Andrew:  In your answer on September 17, before Federal Judge Scheindlin:

1. Support Ms. Esposito's application to Reopen.

2. Say you still claim immunity for all State employees for their official actions, but only for actions which carried out "your" and State policy to root out and punish corruption

3. Say any acts by State or City employees that did not carry out official policy and were a cover-up are not subject to immunity from Esposito's suit.

Cuomo And Fiscal Disaster: The Still Smoking Gun

Andrew Cuomo's gun which is still smoking and it's firing which caused our economic recession/depression is found copied below.   It's the official HUD release and the important parts are in red.   I've done the arithmetic for the financially challenged Cuomo:   50% of $2.4 trillion dollars is $1.2 trillion dollars in mortgages, which Federal TARP was supposed to bail out. 
  Verdict:  Andrew Cuomo:  Guilty of gross fiscal ineptitude leading to economic disaster; a clear and present danger to NY finances; sentenced to pay back from his campaign treasury all those  "disproportionately benefited minorities and city residents," who Andrew Cuomo had claimed to help with his mortgages.  
           They'll need a strong Kool-aid for those who would nominate him for Governor.

CUOMO ANNOUNCES ACTION TO PROVIDE $2.4 TRILLION IN MORTGAGES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 28.1 MILLION FAMILIES

See full chart of higher goals by metropolitan area

WASHINGTON - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo today announced a policy to require the nation's two largest housing finance companies to buy $2.4 trillion in mortgages over the next 10 years to provide affordable housing for about 28.1 million low- and moderate-income families.
Cuomo said the historic action by HUD raises the required percentage of mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income families that finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must buy from the current 42 percent of their total purchases  to a new high of 50 percent  , a19 percent increase - in the year 2001. The percentage will first increase to 48 percent in 2000.
Commenting on the action, President Clinton said: "During the last six and a half years, my Administration has put tremendous emphasis on promoting homeowners and making housing more affordable for all Americans. Our housing programs and institutions have been a success. Today, the homeownership rate is at an all-time high, with more than 66 percent of all American families owning their homes. Today, we take another significant step. Raising the GSEs goals will help us generate increased momentum in addressing the nation's housing needs. I congratulate HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo and the entire HUD team on their efforts in this important area."
"This action will transform the lives of millions of families across our country by giving them new opportunities to buy homes or move into apartments with rents they can afford," Cuomo said. "It will strengthen our economy and create jobs by stimulating more home construction, it will help ease the terrible shortage of affordable housing plaguing far too many communities, and it will help reduce the huge homeownership gap dividing whites from minorities and suburbs from cities."
The mortgage purchase requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - known as the Affordable Housing Goals - was last set by HUD in 1995, under a requirement mandated by Congress. The goals came up for renewal this year, and HUD had the choice of leaving them unchanged, lowering them, or raising them. In addition to helping low- and moderate-income families, the new initiative will also increase the affordable housing goals for loans made to underserved areas and will raise the goal for mortgages to benefit families with very low incomes.
Under the higher goals, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will buy an additional $488.3 billion in mortgages that will be used to provide affordable housing for 7 million more low- and moderate-income families over the next 10 years. Those new mortgages and families are over and above the $1.9 trillion in mortgages for 21.1 million families that would have been generated if the current goals had been retained.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages for both individual homes and for apartment buildings.
Fannie Mae Chairman Franklin D. Raines joined Cuomo at the news conference in which Cuomo announced the HUD action. Raines committed Fannie Mae to reaching HUD's increased Affordable Housing Goals.
Others attending the news conference to express support for the new Affordable Housing Goals were National Association of Home Builders President Charles Ruma and Enterprise Foundation CEO Bart Harvey.
In addition, higher Affordable Housing Goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been sought by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, FM Watch and other groups.
Congress gave HUD the responsibility of regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because the two companies are Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) that were chartered by Congress. The policy announced today will be implemented by HUD regulations. Such regulations go into effect after review by Congress and the Office of Management and Budget, along with a period of full public comment.
The GSEs buy mortgages issued by banks, thrift institutions and other mortgage lenders, and then package the loans and sell them to investors as mortgage-backed securities. When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy the mortgages from lenders, they provide the lenders with the cash needed to issue new mortgages.
Congress has given GSEs special advantages - such an exemption from all state and local taxes except property taxes, and an exemption from Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements. In addition, the ties of the GSEs to government has helped them get the highest credit rating to reduce their borrowing costs, and has boosted investor confidence in the two companies, thereby helping to increase their earnings. The Treasury Department reports that the benefits of federal sponsorship are worth almost $6 billion annually to the GSEs.
The GSEs are publicly chartered to provide broad public benefits. Congress, through Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's Charter Acts and the 1992 GSE Act, required that the two GSEs, in return for their publicly provided benefits, extend the benefits of the secondary mortgage market to a broad range of Americans. These include low- and moderate-income families, first-time homebuyers, and residents of communities underserved by mortgage credit.
If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fail to make a good faith effort to achieve the Affordable Housing Goals set by HUD, the Secretary of HUD has the authority to impose civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each day the failure occurs.
Families are considered as having low and moderate incomes if they make no more than the area median income, which varies by community. The national average for the median income is $47,800.
In addition to raising the low- and moderate-income goal from 42 percent to 50 percent, HUD acted to raise two other Congressionally mandated goals. A special affordable housing goal for families with very low incomes and low incomes (those with less than 60 percent and 80 percent of area median) jumps from the current 14 percent to 20 percent (a 43 percent increase). In addition, a geographically targeted goal for underserved areas (central cities, rural areas, and underserved communities based on income and minority concentration) goes from 24 percent to 31 percent (a 29 percent increase).
The increase in the Affordable Housing Goals is part of the Clinton Administration's overall strategy to increase homeownership and the supply of affordable rental housing in the United States.
America's homeownership rate hit a record annual high in 1998, with 66.3 percent of all households owning their own homes. A total of 69.1 million families owned homes at the end of 1998 - 7.3 million more than when President Clinton took office in 1993. However, the homeownership rate varies a great deal between cities and suburbs, and between whites and minorities, as the chart below shows:

HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE	1998
NATION OVERALL	66.3
WHITE (non-Hispanic)	72.6
BLACK (non-Hispanic)	46.1
HISPANIC	44.7
CENTRAL CITIES	50.0
SUBURBS	73.2

The higher Affordable Housing Goals will disproportionately benefit minorities and city residents, helping to close the homeownership gap, Cuomo said.
In addition, the higher Affordable Housing Goals will help ease the crisis-level shortage of affordable housing documented by a HUD report issued in March. That report found that the number of families earning less than 50 percent of the area median income and either paying over half their incomes for rent or living in severely substandard housing remains at the record level of about 5.3 million

Cuomo Announces His Success Against Espada At Liar's Club

“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the  government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it  invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy."  ~Louis D. Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice, 1856-1941)


 News From Liar's Club House Journal, a.k.a. NY Times ("All the lies fitted into print") :  Andrew Cuomo spoke at the Liar's Club, right after someone else said, "he was the biggest liar."  Then, Cuomo announced his magnificent civil suit against the uppity Senator Pedro Espada who finagled to become majority leader.

Now, as not reported in the Liar's Club House Journal:   Senator Espada has asked, why didn't Cuomo file criminal charges?    Espada is right.    Cuomo's civil suit won't be resolved until after Cuomo hopes he's governor.  And worse, the money which could have gone into the State Treasury from a successful NY RICO prosecution of Pedro Espada now cannot go toward NY's Budget needs.   As described in prior posts here, Espada's alleged crime represents just 0.001% of the fraud (potential RICO money for the NY Treasury?) involved in federal TARP program's "assets." The Federal TARP program, supposedly, was to remove those toxic mortgage assets from our financial system, which were generated from Cuomo's Actions as Federal HUD Secretary.  But, those Toxic assets are still there.  That federal TARP should be competing for the lie of the year 2008.

  Meanwhile, while "Nero" Cuomo's NY State is burning from budget shortfalls, Cuomo worries that the plants at the Botanical Gardens could use more watering, er, sorry (lying is not my forte), Pedro Espada needs to face this civil suit.   Cuomo's action against Espada is either too little or too late, or a part of Cuomo's "mating" ritual display to become Governor.   Steve Levy, NY Governor Candidate , sniffed a stench and asked why Cuomo ignored all the other corrupt Senators and Assemblymen?  And why does Cuomo ignore the $40 million dollar fraud involving the Chief Judge, Lippman, and Judge Ramos, when he and his staff's work has already done for them, because the witnesses and papers are already available for a Grand Jury and a Trial.

Please, Andrew "Gollum" Cuomo, your NY TARP (Toxic Attorneys and Reprobates Protector) covering up NY corruption may serve your needs to shakedown and protect corruption, but not doesn't serve ours.   And Gollum Cuomo, if you want "The Ring," earn it.
 

What's hiding under your TARP, Andrew Cuomo and NY Judges, with no video record?

Better Laws #2

Memorandum to Andrew Cuomo, Senator John Sampson, and the NY Times:

The system stinks. We need remedy now.

See ExposecorruptCourts.blogspot.com for enlightenment.

Andrew Cuomo, what hiding under your TARP that fears video exposure? Why doesn't NY Times demand videos of all court proceedings? Senator Sampson, doesn't your black community want video recording of all court proceedings and don't they know the courts cannot be trusted? Wasn't OJ Simpson's “not guilty verdict,” in part because the black community wanted to send a message about untrusted courts? Why shouldn't the people see what goes on in their courts? Why is youtube, or “Acorn like” exposure feared?

Maybe paraphrasing old wisdom would help: “The fear of the the Lord (the People seeing the video) is the beginning of wisdom (honest courts).”

Honest judges and equitable court actions have been a concern since Moses said over 3,000 years ago, "At that time I instructed the judges, 'You must hear the cases of your fellow Israelites and the foreigners living among you. Be perfectly fair in your decisions”

Translated for our NY lawyers and judges: “no favoritism for fellow judges or fellow lawyers and respect and treat fairly the foreigners, i.e. non-lawyers or non- judges.”

NY Supreme Court Judge David Demerest in Essex County action 974/2006, said from the bench, “If you want the law, the rules, and the Constitution followed you have to go the Court of Appeals. In his court the law, the rules and the Constitution are not followed.” A video of Judge David Demerest, on line would end his arrogance. So many groups have cried out for court watchers to sit in on court sessions to protect vulnerable victims from brazen judicial misconduct in courts. Replace these court watchers with video.

Video all NY court appearances with time displayed and make it necessary for the jurisdiction and validity of all court proceedings that such videos exist and are available. The videos of protected proceedings under our present law could be kept protected, but those videos must be kept available for Appellate proceedings, continuing proceedings by same parties or criminal proceedings if required.

First have a good laugh about our present system: A NY judge reviews his own court transcripts for appeals and makes “corrections” and removals as (s)he sees needed before appellate review

Then, since none of the above, Cuomo, Sampson or NY Times have acted, I'll show how we can change our NY Laws:

Here is present law: § 4. Sittings of courts to be public. The sittings of every court within this state shall be public,and every citizen may freely attend the same, except that in all proceedings and trials in cases for divorce, seduction, abortion, rape, assault with intent to commit rape, criminal sexual act, bastardy or filiation,the court may,in its discretion, exclude therefrom all persons who are not directly interested therein, excepting jurors, witnesses, and officers of the court

Here's the Revised law (changes in red): § 4. Sittings of courts to be public. The sittings of every court within this state shall be public,and every citizen may freely attend the same and must be recorded on publicly available time stamped video where the words of each participant can be clearly heard and such video be part of the records of said court, except that in all proceedings and trials in cases for divorce, seduction, abortion, rape, assault with intent to commit rape, criminal sexual act, bastardy or filiation, the court may,in its discretion, exclude therefrom all persons who are not directly interested therein, excepting jurors, witnesses, and officers of the court, and also public access may be excluded to such videos, except for Appellate purposes or use in continuing litigation by the same parties in all proceedings and trials.

a. the loss of public access to videos required hereunder shall render any such unrecorded proceedings as not part of the record of the court

b. any court proceedings without video recording as required in this law would remove the jurisdiction of any court in this State and would be official misconduct by those who so acted.

Please Andrew Cuomo, Senator John Sampson and the NY Times move into the modern age, remedy the corruption, and change the law. Now.
