Christine Quinn's personal assistant, Tony Simone, yells F*CK YOU to peaceful protesters : What a Nightmare !!

Christine Quinn's ''Dream'' Fundraiser Turns into ''Nightmare'' as Her Personal Assistant Screams the F-Bomb to St. Vincent's Protesters.

LGBTQ activists, Health care activists, government transparency activists, public official integrity activists, and animal rights activists held a flashmob protest outside City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's fundraiser at Dream nightclub tonight in Chelsea.


Many LGBTQ activists and allies joined the emergency protest organised outside Speaker Quinn's fundraiser. Many LGBTQ activists said they believe that Speaker Quinn should have started fighting for marriage equality in 2005, back when Mayor Michael Bloomberg ordered the appeal of a landmark gay marriage ruling. In all her time in public office, Speaker Quinn has subjugated herself to the misogynist domination of Mayor Bloomberg.

Still yet other protesters held up signs as a reminder to the U.S. Justice Department that nobody has yet to be indicted in Speaker Quinn's office for her role in the City Council slush fund scandal.


Community activists, who support the opening of a full-service hospital with Level 1 Trauma Center held up a banner, shaming Christine Quinn's ''do nothing'' record on saving St. Vincent's Hospital. The banner attracted hate speech from one of Speaker Quinn's highly-paid staff members, as indicated below :

St. Vincent's Document Shredding

Bankruptcy Judge Cecelia Morris has let the management of St. Vincent's avoid Freedom of Information requests and has let the Rudin Family to gut St. Vincent's and is about to let the Family take a wrecking ball to it. Now, Judge Morris is going to let the Management and the Family destroy evidence.

Management of St. Vincent's Asks Bankruptcy Court to Approve Document Destruction, So That No Investigation Can Ever Determine Why the Hospital Closed Abruptly And Without Any Legally-Mandated Closure Plan.

No politician -- not CB2 Chair Brad Hoylman, not City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, or Senator Tom Duane -- is willing to do anything to prevent the luxury condo conversion of St. Vincent's. With the shredding trucks about to pull into the ambulance bays of St. Vincent's, the obstruction of justice will be complete : there may be no more hope to ever investigate the shady decisions that lead the hospital to close on April 30, 2010. It's exactly as Sarah Jessica Parker said : ''The community needs a hospital — and I think there’s been some clever obfuscation.''

SAIC and Technodyne Lobbying Scandal : Did it Rise to the Level of Obstruction of Justice ?

Keeping in mind that Mayor Bloomberg is skilled at funneling campaign money in many ways that go undetected and undisclosed, a skill he shares with Speaker Quinn, who still maintains her shady City Council slush fund. These experts at funneling and slushing money around in opaque structures and technicalities are the ones, who never detected the massive $600 million CityTime Fraud. Really ?

During the 3 terms of the Bloomberg administration, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn kept approving each year's city budget, which included all the approvals and sign-offs on the CityTime cost over-runs.

During the Bloomberg-Quinn administration, lobbyists for the primary CityTime contractors, Scientific Applications International Corporation and Technodyne, kept teams of expensive lobbyists on their payroll to do exactly what ? Were lobbyists being paid to prevent any government agency to investigate the 2003 Richard Valcich letter ?

2003 02 19 Richard Valcich Letter SAIC CityTime Corruption Scandal

In 2003, Mr. Valcich was the Executive Director of the Office of Payroll Administration. In his 6 page letter to SAIC, Mr. Valcich questioned the motivations behind SAIC's poor performance on the CityTime contract ; SAIC kept dragging out deadlines and delivering product that Mr. Valcich described as "below acceptable standards."

As of the time of the writing of Mr. Valcich's letter, New York City had spent $35 million thus far on the doomed CityTime project. Current cost estimates put the price tag at over $700 million, of which $600 million has been described as "fraud."

During all this time, though, the principal outsourced companies working on CityTime were dispatching teams of lobbyists, to keep the cost over-runs being paid, and maybe for other motives.... The newsroom of WNYC, the public radio station, cannot pinpoint the exact role of the shady CityTime lobbyists.

"What prosecutors have yet to publicly discuss is the role played by former city officials from both the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations that acted as lobbyists on behalf of SAIC and subcontractors such as New Jersey-based Technodyne. ...

"The city's lobbying database shows a small army of former prominent city officials who did work for SAIC and Technodyne. Defense contractor SAIC has retained former City Comptroller Liz Holtzman, Peter Powers, who served as Mayor Giuliani's top deputy Mayor for operations, and Seth Kaye, who worked in both the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations. Technodyne's lobbyists include former Bloomberg Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications Commissioner Gino Menchini and Agostino Cangemi, who also held key posts in both administrations.

"National Strategies, the lobbying firm that employs Menchini and Cangemi, says the firm had no role in CityTime and discontinued working "on general business procurement" for Technodyne as soon as the criminal allegations surfaced. (Another Technodyne lobbyist of record, Sal Salamone, was director of the Mayor’s Office of Computer Planning and has worked for SAIC.)"

No journalism outlet has yet to report the extent of lobbying by other CityTime subcontractors, such as Spherion and Gartner. If the lobbyists were trying to thwart any investigation into the $600 million CityTime fraud, would those lobbying activities rise to the level of obstruction of justice ?

Bloomberg CityTime Special Prosecutor

Ask United States Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a federal special prosecutor to investigate the Bloomberg Administration and the City Council for the massive CityTime fraud.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday called for an almost complete $600 million refund of the fraudulent CityTime automated payroll system, reported Celeste Katz of The New York Daily News.

Mayor Bloomberg made his request for a refund in a letter addressed to Walter Havenstein, CEO of Science Applications International Corporation ; the letter has been released to the public.

2011 06 29 Michael Bloomberg Letter Saic Citytime 600M Refund

For months now, political commentator, artist, and blogger Suzannah B. Troy has also been calling for a complete refund of the taxpayer money wasted on CityTime.

The U.S. Congress also has some power to appoint a special prosecutor or special investigator, if Mr. Holder doesn't have the guts to investigate the Bloomberg-Quinn administration.

We need to take this investigation out of the hands of any city official, whose investigation budget depends on Mayor Bloomberg's or City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's oversight.

Mayor Bloomberg has previously attacked the budgets of the Manhattan District Attorney and of the Public Advocate.

For her part, Speaker Quinn still likes to use the city budget to dole out her politically-motivated special member items.

Mike Bloomberg Speaks Suzannah B. Troy’s Words SAIC Give Us 600 Mill back + Suzannah B. Troy wants even more!



http://youtu.be/ZE8gFFBSfPg Mike Bloomberg is speaking Suzannah B. Troy ’s words but I want even more money back because we threw away perfectly good pay roll systems which cost us even more tax payer money! When SAIC filed the 8K that massive red light and used the words that they were at material financial risk they knew what I was asking for and that was a full refund. Nice ex-king Mike is late to the game but finally asking for money back! Mike looked at my new blog and I included Rudy in the header because he gave us CityTime and SAIC which I dubbed the Tax Payers’s Titanic. http://bloombergrudynycgovsaiccitytime.blogspot.com/ new blog asking for full refund and payroll.

Photos by Kobi Suzannah B. Troy Rape Protest by Now Suzannah Focuses on Rape Cop Lawyers and Women Who Did Not Survive Rape: Imette St. Guillen

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150684381315652.690182.804565651

We pulled down my shirt over my big black belt that says New York and it says Violence Rape Murder from Babies to Grannies global crisis



Jennifer Moore under age and drinking, like Imette and the NYPD Rape Victim she walked out on her own sadly and unlike the NYPD rape victim she did not live to tell her story, to have a life, too grow old.

Sickening to have Tacopina representing Imette. Imette would object if she was alive but she died a horrific death nothing as awful as the NYPD Rape Victim including Joe Tacopina and Chad Seigel’s treatment of her.



http://www.youtube.com/user/Suzannahartist#p/a/u/1/wzBQWaGVp9U Listen to the gentleman to your left’s speech in my YouTube from today. I am very tired. Kobi sent me many photos and I would be up all night uploading and labeling them and I don’t have the strength. Kobi is a beautiful soul inside out.

Thanks for your beautiful hard work. There are so many other photos.



There is Tish James and I wish I had captured her speech. It was fantastic! I tell you briefly about it on my YouTube.





Laura Garza Today’s protest was about stopping the violence but they Women left us too soon and in the most horrific of ways I wanted to honor their memories



Yu Yao’s name is on my shirt many places and on both arms....unlike the other women she was not out drinking....she was just walking and was randomly grabbed by her hair and dragged in to an alley way, rape and murdered. She is the most recent victim of a violent rape and murder that I am aware of.

NY Votes Marriage Equality

BREAKING : N.Y. State Senate Votes For Landmark Same-Sex Marriage Bill

Watch the live debate on the New York Senate floor :

Watch live streaming video from nysenate at livestream.com

Late Friday afternoon, the Republican Senate leader finally ended the frustrating delay of the vote.

“After many hours of deliberation and discussion over the past several weeks among the members, it has been decided that same-sex marriage legislation will be brought to the full Senate for an up or down vote,” the majority leader, Long Island Republican Dean G. Skelos said in a statement. “As I have said many times, this is a very difficult issue and it will be a vote of conscience for every member of the Senate.”

Sen. Shirley Huntley Now Says She Supports Marriage Equality

On Monday, State Senator Shirley L. Huntley announced her support for marriage equality in New York State.

Sen. Shirley Huntley (D-Queens) made her announcement in support for marriage equality on the same day that three other state senators, who had each voted against legalizing same-sex marriage two years ago voted, also reversed course, The New York Times reported. The senators said that their constituents’ thinking had evolved on the this important stepping stone toward full LGBT civil rights had evolved.

The Times described the move as "significantly" improving the odds that New York state legislature will pass a law that legalises marriage equality, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Citizens in New York state stand on the cusp of charting a new course for LGBT civil rights nationally, and the state itself is on the verge of becoming the largest state in the nation to allow gays and lesbians to wed.

Meanwhile, Sen. Huntley made her announcement less than two months after a daring civil disobedience protest against her and her legislative office by two LGBT civil rights activists, Iana Di Bona and Alan Bounville, who are members of Connecting Rainbows.

Dan Choi and other LGBT activists were arrested then later released following attacks by Neo-Nazis during Moscow Pride Day

Newly posted YouTube video : LGBT activist Lt. Dan Choi films inside the police wagon as he and other activists are being taken to jail following their beating by Neo-Nazis and arrest by Moscow police in Moscow.


Video of Beating and Arrests : LGBT activists Lt. Dan Choi and Louis-Georges Tin were beaten by Neo-Nazis in Moscow. Why did Moscow police arrest the LGBT activists, if they were just peacefully assembling ? Join Lt. Choi and others by signing an open letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, demanding that the United States government ''condemn the anti-LGBT violence in Moscow and to reaffirm the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Russia and around the world.''

U.S. Army Lt. Dan Choi (discharged under DADT) has been apparently released from Moscow police custody, after a mass arrest of pro-LGBT equality activists and Neo-Nazi protesters in connection with Moscow Pride Day.

The above video was among the first to be posted on YouTube, to show the breakout of violence.

Joe My God posted an early report of the Moscow Pride Day arrests, reporting that among the other activists, who were arrested, included Andy Thayer, Louis-Georges Tin, and Anna Komarova -- among others. In an e-mail statement issued by Lt. Choi at 5:50 a.m. New York time, Lt. Choi wrote LGBT activists were arrested following attacks by Neo-Nazis : "Right ear ringing small bleeding, 8 in the car including me and Andy Thayer."

A second YouTube video has been posted about the violent turn of events at Moscow Pride Day.
