[PICTURED: L.A.'s Official Spokes-icon and Soon to Be Taking A Deal (At Best) L.A. Mayor WELCOME THE FBI to City of Los Angeles. ENJOY YOUR STAY!]Excuse me for being rude. I haven't been a very good official spokes-icon on behalf of the City of Los Angeles. I've been so busy, forgot to welcome Eric Holder's U.S. Attorney General Office staff and FBI agents, visiting L.A. from Washington, D.C.
L.A. City Hall seems to be the main tourist attraction, while in town. (I usually recommend Venice Beach boardwalk to tourists. City Hall makes ME sick to my stomach. And sometimes you have to listen to Janice Hahn speak, which is probably why. That should be Federal crime, in itself.)
Again, I apologize...I know you've already been checking into the blog, it appears, based on LA City News/Google search stats. So let me make it official:
Welcome to the City of Los Angeles:
Eric Holder's U.S. Attorney staffers and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents.
Eric Holder's U.S. Attorney staffers and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents.
Enjoy your stay at Chez City Hall. You host, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraiogsa is usually out of town, as he is this week...but Eric Garcetti (Gil's son) is sitting in as acting mayor, when Antonio is chasing tails across the country at these events. (But I think you already know Eric, pretty well. Or at least, all about him. Maybe you actually had a nice "meet and greet" with Garcetti, this past week. (I nick-named him, "Garshady," based on his council performance.) If you HAVE spent any time with him, you've already found out he's full of shit, overly-defensive, won't let you finish a sentence cause he wants to replace your opinion with his words, and he'll lie to your face about just about anything. LOCK HIS ASS UP, SO HE CAN'T RUN FOR MAYOR:
ZUMA DOGG ON PENSION FRAUD BUSTING:
From ZD's facebook (6/16/11):
You heard ZD blog abput Wetherly Capital. But did you know, that after I started blogging about, Andrew Cuomo actually shut 'em down for LIFE and Dan w. & Vicky S. are LITERALLY banned from even SPEAKING about pensions and Wall Street. (Part of the deal.) AND, Juilio Ramierz, of Wetherly is in jail, as is related crony Elliot Broidy, who I was told was "untouchable." TOUCHED, BITCH! By the blog of ZD.
Dan Weinstein, Vicky Shiff, Elliot Broidy, Julio Ramirez, Jr., Wetherly Capital: The names blogged about in ZD's PensionGate blog posts. I called Andrew Cuomo's office (then NY Attorney General) to inform them of the pension fraud scheme and check my blog for "connect the dots." Andrew Cuomo busted all the above mentioned parties for the scheme ZD blogged about, specifically. (Coincidence!)
And yes, I discussed this matter with local law enforcement in Los Angeles and was told the information was known and kicked up the ladder to Gov. Jerry Brown. Only problem, Brown goes WAY back with the people who needed busting, since they backed him, too. So he didn't do shit, HENCE, the FEDERAL investigation in CalPERS and L.A. City Hall. (First time EVER the SEC is investigating a municipality/non-Wall St. business...LOL...that's corrupt as HELL, y'all.) VEGAS MONEY= WHO'S ON DECK FOR PENSION FRAUD HANDCUFFS: Gloria Molina and Richard Alatorre's long-time friend, Al Villabobos. (Sorry, Al. ZD's Google stats don't lie. And they are never wrong. Stats can't be wrong. Only mis-interpreted. And I never do that, either.)
MORE ON ZUMA DOGG:
* "Zuma Dogg has done a lot of good for the people of Los Angeles. He's a good man. - L.A. City Councilman Dennis P. Zine (Thanks, Denny! Means a lot coming from a future City Controller candidate! Aren't you glad you said that on camera!)
* "You're actually one of my favorite people to watch on TV." - Former L.A. Mayor Richard Riordan to Zuma Dogg on KABC radio.
* "Brain-seizing artistry. A local underground superstar. -D. Harvey/LA Weekly

* Featured on ABC News Nightline, CBS2, KNBC4, KABC7, KCAL9, FOX11 TV and KFI, KABC, K-TALK & KRLA radio as L.A.'s most recognized and respected citizen voice.
* "Zuma Dogg fought the oppressive, tightly controlled L.A. City Council meetings presided over by Council President Eric Garcetti, who had banned video cameras. After police tried to stop Zuma Dogg from taping the council deliberations, he railed against the big shots for months, slamming Garcetti as “Garshady” on his show and on his whistleblower blog. “Whatever happened to free speech in this country?,” Zuma Dogg asked. He prevailed against Garcetti’s rules, and now brings his cameracorder to every council meeting, as can any member of the public thanks to him." - LA Weekly.
* " Zuma Dogg has distinguished himself as a "mix of curiosity and crusader" fighting for what he considers his free-speech rights."He's been able to do it with humor and at times be more direct and substantive." Los Angeles City Council President Eric Garcetti/Los Angeles Times
* "An original ... another treasure of Venice." - Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl
* " A civic treasure." - Michael Higby/Mayor Sam's Blog (L.A. politics)
* "I've seen your show on TV. Keep doing what you're doing." - Dennis Franz
* "Zuma Dogg, not only one of the most recognizable figures at City Hall, cordially greeted by passersby, including security guards and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, he also has the ear of high-level insiders, who feed him information in the hope that he’ll expose, and possibly stop, one questionable government project or another." - LA Weekly (Click here for article.)
* ""He wakes us up; it gets everyone's attention." L.A. City Controller Wendy Greuel/Los Angeles Times
(GOOD! I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR MOST PEOPLE, IF MY ONLY DISTINCTION WAS WAKING THEM UP!)
* "Something between stunned and amazed. "I've never seen anything like it." - Former California Assembly Speaker, Councilman Herb Wesson/Los Angeles Times
THANKS TO THE NEARLY 10,000 PEOPLE who voted for "Zuma Dogg" in the last Los Angeles Mayoral election. (Not a bad number to pull, considering the historically low voter turnout, and the fact that ZD didn't spend a penny on his campaign, and didn't have the luxury of one flier." The mayor spent $3 million, just for comparison.)
* "Zuma Dogg, who is smarter than and knows more about city government than most Council members, has become something of an urban folk hero, skewering City Hall foibles and failures in his frequent public comment appearances broadcast on Channel 35. His campaigns for mayor and now CD2 attracted respectable numbers of votes for a candidate who was not only is penniless but homeless." - Ron Kaye/RonKayeLA.com (IMAGINE IF I HAD PENNIES TO WORK WITH!)
* "It would be nice to see someone with the heroism of Zuma Dogg in office." - Kevin James/870-KRLA Radio
* "I too, as you may know, am a Deming fan. I think your synthesis of his work is fabulous." - Anthony Robbins (Tony was kind enough to bow down to me on his stage in front of thousands of people, during a seminar that was being simulcast across the country. I am told that was the first and only time he did that. Awe shucks!)
* "Very Well Done." - Dr. W. Edwards Deming on "Interpreting Deming's 14 Points," by Zuma Dogg. (Published internationally in "Quality Digest." I was told the letter from Deming had to be a fake, cause all he ever did was scribble red ink on everything. Let alone send a response like that. I had to fax the letter to some folks for verification. LOL! Too good to be true. I was in my 20's and was told, they were expecting someone in their 60's or 70's, because it usually takes that long to be able to write something at that level. Awe Shucks!)
* "I especially liked your of explanation Deming's more controversial points." - Don Dewar/Publisher, Quality Digest
* "You not only took our ideas, but expanded them in ways I thought were very interesting." - Al Ries ("Marketing Warfare," "22 Immutable Laws of Marketing," "Focus.")
