ROCKER! L.A. Pension Fraud For Dummies (Connect The Dots of 'Guilty As Charged' To Villaraigosa & CRA/LA Projects) - THIS POST CONTAINS EVERYTHING!
[Pictured: Mayor Douchebag warns that investigators are coming for you over pension fraud. See names below.]It's all been blogged about (pension fraud, that is), and my biggest challenge at this point, is focusing and funneling all the information into ONE POST, so people can take it all in, without having to get tangled up in the intricate web that has been spun by ZD on this topic.
So without further ado, I just went through all recent pension fraud, energy fraud and related fraud posts across the internet...and although it is still a lot of information to take in: YOU NEVER HAVE TO STRAY ANY FURTHER THAN THIS SINGLE BLOG PAGE to access it all via these links.
(At the end of the day, it's a small circle. You got a mayor, county supervisor, councilmembers and their friends and family members who work in conjunction with the small circle of equity capital investment firms who work as "middle men" agents to hand the money back to everyone.)

Did Wendy Greuel's Political Ally Andrew Cuomo Cause The Subprime Mortgage Crisis (Hence, U.S. Economic Meltdown?)
Andrew Cuomo and Fannie and Freddie
How the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history gave birth to the mortgage crisis
By Wayne Barrett
-Andrew Cuomo, the youngest Housing and Urban Development secretary in history, made a series of decisions between 1997 and 2001 that gave birth to the country's current crisis. He took actions that—in combination with many other factors—helped plunge Fannie and Freddie into the subprime markets without putting in place the means to monitor their increasingly risky investments. He 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. Three to four million families are now facing foreclosure, and Cuomo is one of the reasons why.
-What he did is important—not just because of what it tells us about how we got in this hole, but because of what it says about New York's attorney general, who has been trying for months to don a white hat in the subprime scandal, pursuing cases against banks, appraisers, brokers, rating agencies, and multitrillion-dollar, quasi-public Fannie and Freddie
- Cuomo wasn't only stifling data that HUD could use to keep the GSEs out of trouble. He also went against his own recommendation—in a report issued jointly with the Treasury Department a few months earlier—that called for a prohibition against the GSEs purchasing loans "with high costs and/or predatory features." Instead, Cuomo decided without explanation to adopt rules that prohibited nothing.
-Just a look at the New Yorkers tied to the GSEs must have impressed Cuomo, who, after all, would soon return to New York politics. Harold Ickes, the former Clinton chief of staff and a Democratic power broker in this state, was on the Freddie board. Tom Downey, the former New York congressman who would later donate $21,894 to Cuomo, was a Fannie lobbyist. And Al D'Amato, the former banking committee chair who'd shepherded Cuomo's appointment through the Republican Senate, was a Fannie consultant.
-Two of Cuomo's aides who had also worked for his father, Howard Glaser and Todd Howe, left HUD to take top jobs at the association in the middle of the GSE rule-making (the MBA parted company with both once Andrew was out of HUD). In 2000, a year after Howe joined the association, he described how he had helped build a grassroots MBA effort to pressure Congress and others into supporting HUD in what he described as the "battle" being "waged against Fannie Mae." Glaser's Harvard alumni biography says he "played a key role in negotiating a multi-billion-dollar increase in GSE affordable-housing goals." He and Howe—who insist they had "no contact" with Cuomo on the MBA's behalf—have given $3,000 to Cuomo in recent years.
-The MBA also retained Brad Johnson, another ex–Mario Cuomo aide described as his "eyes and ears" in Washington, to lobby HUD while Andrew was secretary. Three other long-term HUD staffers who worked there under Cuomo—including the lawyer who was the contact person listed on the GSE rules—also ended up at the MBA or one of its lobbying firms. Angelo Mozilo, the CEO of Countrywide who's become the face of the subprime scandal, was at one point the MBA's president and a member of its executive committee throughout Cuomo's HUD tenure. He and other MBA leaders became Cuomo donors, with Mozilo donating $1,000 twice—in 2002 and 2006.
-FM Watch's lobbyists during the Cuomo years at HUD included Tony Podesta, the brother of Clinton's chief of staff, and the law firm Akin Gump, where Cuomo has so many allies that his campaign committee has collected $67,550 in contributions there since he formed it in early 2001. Joel Jankowsky, head of the Akin lobbying group that represented this single-issue group, gave $7,500 to Cuomo—most of it within weeks after the formation of Andrew's committee in 2001. Jankowsky is a close personal friend of Dan Glickman, who joined Akin when he stepped down as agriculture secretary just as Cuomo left HUD in 2001. Glickman's wife Rhoda was Cuomo's deputy chief of staff, and the two Glickmans donated $10,500 to Cuomo. They also covered $23,900 of their own expenses traveling and fundraising for the campaign, which listed that as an in-kind contribution.
- Cuomo was, in some respects, the last chance that borrowers had before the crisis hit. The grand ambitions unleashed when he orchestrated his father's win at such an early age propelled him to HUD's helm at a similarly early age, and convinced him to run for governor before he was ready. He seems more comfortable at 50 in the state attorney general's office than he has ever appeared in his public life, but the country will be living with his HUD mistakes, ill- or well-intended, for a long time.

Names Associated With New York and California PENSION SCANDAL (PensionGate)
1. 5/26/ Public Comment: Zuma Dogg Addresses PENSION SCANDAL at City Council Meeting
2. 5/26 Mr. Zuma Dogg HAMMERS City Council on PENSION SCANDAL
(also featuring Matt Dowd)
Platinum Advisors founder Darius Anderson at the same party Villaraigosa is pandering at.
Ya know, I really do not like the divisive spin coming out of Mayor Anotnio VIllarigosa's office regarding a certain newly elected official who CREAMED THE CAREER out of Jackass Weiss.
There is a lot of scandal and corruption to be told when you are talking about losing $7 BILLION dollars of CITY PENSION MONEY in a scheme that the SEC is now investigating, arrests and guilty pleas have been made, subpeonas issued by NY & CA Attorney General's office, AND TODAY, Los Angeles City Council finally delivers Zuma Dogg the biggest "I TOLD YOU SO" OF ALL TIME, as those 7 BILLION TIME LOSERS OF L.A. CITY COUNCIL held a hearing regarding "LACER PENSION REFORM" (too late, dumb-ass Councilosers), which included one guy who basically says Villaraigosa has been shady as fuck all along. I AM GOING DOWN AS A LEGEND IN THIS CITY FOR BEING SO FUCKING RIGHT ON THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN CITY & STATE HISTORY, THAT I AM STILL BEING HUMBLE AS I SAY THIS.
And now, EVERYONE in the media can join in with this scandalous and tragic story of greed, arrogance and corruption now that the LA Times will surely be covering this.
Here are the names I am publishing to punish Villaraigosa for paying people to spin against the new City Attorney's office. I am going to bitch slap you with my blog until you can't even get elected for Lincoln Heights Neighborhood Council, let alone Governor.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M NOT GONNA STOP UNTIL EVEN THE MONEY LAUNDERERS WHO BACK VILLARAIGOSA WON'T TOUCH HIM!
two can play at this game, bitch! and YOU will lose. i have nothing. you have EVERYTHING to lose. but you WON'T be able to walk away. you just won't i would stay away from vegas and keep your commissioner appointments hands off the pension money. DON'T WORRY, VILLAR'S TEAM IS OUTTA THERE! IT'S JUST SO OVER FOR TEAM VILLAR. His pension team is getting yanked by the city,IF NOT THE FEDS! There is NO WHERE TO HIDE! Better hop on the plane to Dubai, TEAM VILLARAIOGSA and international drug launderers and their political cronies.
ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA, WENDY GREUEL, ANDREW CUOMO, HILLARY CLINTON, THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS OWNER, HENRY CISNEROS, RON BURKLE, DARIUS ANDERSON, DE BEERS, VIVENDI, GRAY DAVIS, DAN WEISNSTEIN, VICKY SCHIFF, WILLIAM H. JACKSON, BILL CLINTON, ARI SWILLER and MORE WENDY GREUEL, AND EVEN MORE WENDY GREUEL, SAM DIAMATTO, LOUIS MORET, GEORGE TORRES, AND MORE ANTONIO AND MORE WENDY GREUEL (for using her COUNCILMEMBER title on an invitation for Andrew Cuomo who you really MUST read about on this blog.)
I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, INFINITY!!!!
L.A. councilmen say mayor shouldn't control pension boards
Dennis Zine and Bernard C. Parks say Villaraigosa should not be able to appoint the majority of members to the City Employees' Retirement System and the Fire and Police Pensions boards.Responding to investigations of public pension systems across the country, two members of the Los Angeles City Council called Wednesday for a reduction in Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's power to pick pension board members.
