#PodestaLeaks: The whispers of mismanagement and lies from the Clinton Foundation!

clinton-cf

I have earlier looked into the mails considering the Campaign advice and also the Media’s connection with Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Let it be clear, I do not because like Trump! I don’t like his campaign one single bit, but these leaks of insider information and the scale of it at such extent at this present time. Makes it very hard not to dig deep and look into it. Because the needed looks and quest through the paper-trail left behind her campaign and such. This paper will be about the charitable campaign and the E-Mails I found that we’re interesting because of the actual behaviour there are accepting and subscribing to with their name up high on the mantle.

The Clinton Foundation, the subsidiaries and their programs are already a bit scrutinised and the legendary “Pay-to-Play” where a politician get monies for Super-PACs or Foundation, when service rendered the obligated politician will help the donor and their companies with legislation, regulation and even licenses they usually wouldn’t get if it wasn’t for their charitable and giving ways.

Today, the piece about something simple as the way they are signing promises as the Clinton becomes Secretary of State after Barrack Obama becomes President. Therefore with Hillary Clinton’s position the Foundation could not get donor-funding from foreign sources. The Foundation went out with information claiming they didn’t receive or suspending it, but inside and behind closed doors that apparently still happen. Take a look!

Broken Promise by the Clinton Foundation:

“Operation of CGI.  Should Senator Clinton be nominated and confirmed for Secretary of State, the Foundation will incorporate CGI as a separate entity from the Foundation.  President Clinton will continue in his role as principal host and be identified as CGI’s Founding Chairman, but he will not serve as an officer or director of the newly established entity.  Consistent with current practices, President Clinton personally will not solicit funds for CGI and only will attend fundraising events as a honored guest or speaker.  President Clinton also will continue to send invitation letters to potential attendees and guests of CGI; however, he will no longer send sponsorship letters (which seek contributions to CGI).  Apart for attendance fees for CGI, CGI will not accept contributions from foreign governments.  CGI also will suspend plans for CGI events outside the United States during any service by Senator Clinton at the State Department” (MoU between the WJC Foundation and HRC Foundation with Obama Administration (Draft Document) – 28.11.2008).

CHAI Program under former President Clinton:

“You probably already are aware but just to be sure: yesterday in the CHAI board meeting, Ira discussed the formation of an advisory board for CHAI – he said he is targeting 10 people to each give $500k per year for 3 years. He mentioned the names below. He also said he is looking to do a series of dinners on the west coast, east coast, and overseas to raise money for a CHAI Innovation Fund that would “invest” in projects / businesses that CHAI deems worthy. He said the first dinner is on west coast with 30 people and hosted by Christian Anthony who he said he found via the Brown University alumni network. Given the enormous range of things that Ira is proposing the Fund be empowered to invest in, it occurred to me that IF the organization is comfortable with the creation of such a Fund bearing WJC’s name (via CHAI), then why not have CF do it, so that CF can decide whether to invest in CHAI projects or also in other things like a farm in Africa, etc – and also to give WJC better control of it? The proposed CHAI Innovation Fund seems poised to go well beyond what we would consider to be the core traditional work of CHAI on HIV/AIDS, malaria, etc (at least based on the investment examples in the documents Ira provided) and I therefore just wondered why we’d cede this to CHAI to do/control. It’s probably safe to assume that any Fund that bears WJC’s name will attract “investors” or donors or whatever we call them. Maybe I am over-thinking this, but just wanted to brainstorm aloud and I’m happy to drop this if it’s not worth discussing further. Thanks, Ami NAMES IRA MENTIONED FOR CHAI ADVISORY BOARD (I probably am misspellin these): – Craig Colgate at Pegasus Capital (Ira found via Brown U) – Bob Selander (former CEO of Mastercard) – Tood Fisher, Chief Admin Officer at KKR (also via Brown U) – Bill Shuster at Evercore – Bob Mancini, CEO of Cogentics (formerly at Goldman) – Jeff Kushner from Blue Mountain Capital in the UK (Amitabh Desai sending mail to fellow Clinton Foundation Staffers – ‘Subject: CHAI fund and advisory board’ 27.03.2012).

Foundation Policy Adjustment Draft:

  • Suspend Planning for New CGI International Events:  The Clinton Global Initiative will no longer undertake CGI-International events nor accept any funding from foreign government hosts beyond the already-scheduled events in May (CGI-Morocco) and June (CGI-Greece) of 2015.  And, apart from membership fees, CGI also will not accept sponsorship fees from foreign governments for its domestic CGI conferences/meetings”. (Foundation Police Adjustment Draft answers for TinaMP, 08.04.2015) Rather than say “suspend planning” why not say that the Foundation will not host international events beyond the one (or two if we do Greece) already committed to for this year. THIS WAS LANGUAGE FROM MOU – FINE TO CHANGE – SEE TRACK CHANGE OPTION (Foundation Police Adjustment Draft answers for TinaMP, 08.04.2015).
  • No Contributions from New Foreign Governments:  The Clinton Foundation will not accept any funding from new foreign governments for its programming ; the Foundation will only accept contributions from:” (Foundation Police Adjustment Draft answers for TinaMP, 08.04.2015). This leaves out endowment and things like – if there were another disaster like Haiti – is that the intention? IT IS SAYING WE WON’T TAKE SUCH MONEY IF THERE IS A DISASTER; BY SAYING WE WON’T TAKE NEW FOREIGN GOV’T CONTRIBUTIONS, WE ARE SAYING NO NEW COUNTRIES TO THE ENDOWMENT EITHER (Foundation Police Adjustment Draft answers for TinaMP, 08.04.2015).

What it is supposed to say on Foundation letter:

“The Foundation should not announce what CHAI will do. We could change the beginning to say the “the Foundation and the Clinton Health Access Initiative will adjust their policies during the period of Secretary Clinton’s run for office as follows:” (Bruce Lindsay to Maura Pally – ‘Re: RE: Re:’ (08.04.2015).

Cheryl Mills on Foreign Contributions:

I sent a correction yesterday to what the policy wason foreign contributors – it was not a blanket no foreign contributions (though that  is what happened in practice); i*t was no foreign contributions for CGI; for other initiatives like CHAI (Aids), CCI (climate change), CHDI (development in Africa), it required approval by DOS/WH to accept NEW contributions (or significant increase in an existing one)*. So question would be – if a country like Germany decides to contribute to funding aids drug that the foundation facilitates through a low-cost consortium, is answer no, the Foundation wouldn’t do it or yes, it would and would immediately disclose it – that is more likely situation facing Foundation.” (Cheryl Mills sent to John Azalone of Anzalone Liszt Grove Research – ‘Subject: Re: Foundation | Foreign Contributors Statement’ (19.02.2015).

You cannot say after reading it that it looks good for the Clinton Foundation when this kind of practices are happening with sanction from the CF staff and their allies. That they are doing illegal funding of their operations as they are not honoring the agreement with Government of United States and as a key role as Secretary of State; so one of the persons who has one of the noblest positions used her family-name to get donor-funding to their foundation and programs without legality.

Here I am turning into something else that is also worrying about place that a man like Rwandan President Paul Kagame has gotten in the Foundation and it’s subsidiaries. I don’t know if it has become like that because President Bill Clinton didn’t have to stomach to stop the genocide in 1994 and continued supporting the RPF and RPA conquests to oust former American Ally in Mobutu in the DRC. Also, knowing that the other darling of U.S. Museveni in Uganda we’re helping and facilitating the rise of RPA as Kagame we’re a vital part of the NRA and their first government in Uganda. People’ tend to forget this and see beyond those chapters of life. Like they are long forgotten past, but even to this day President Kagame is in good hands with his former American Ally. We will see in 2012, that he was set-up as a Co-Chairman with Carlos Slim. Also that through the graces of Blair that Kagame appreciated Bill Clinton’s “unflinching support”. Take a look!

kagame-bill-clinton

Rwanda – Kagame Co-Chair in CGI projects:

“This is follow-up to our accomodation of these folks at CGI. As you may recall, this commission is co-chaired by Kagame and Carlos Slim. We’ll set a call with the commission chair to discuss further his proposal in this letter to WJC that we do a broadband panel at CGI in September. Thanks, Ami” (Amitabh Desai, sending mail to fellow Clinton Foundation Staffers – ‘Subject: Fw: Letter to President Clinton’ 20.01.2012).

Rwanda- by all means Kagame accepts their support!

“Ambassador asked if WJC/CF/CGI could do anything to help on education/universities in Rwanda. I explained we are constrained by funding but if they have specific ideas, to let us know. He said they’ll put together some ideas for us. – Ambassador asked about attracting more investments/businesses to Rwanda, including mining/natural resources investors. I emphasized CGI as an opportunity for Kagame to engage investors. I also mentioned Barclays interest in doing something at CGI on investing in Africa. Also mentioned Kagame doing a side-meeting at/around CGI that convenes investors interested in Rwanda, akin to WJC’s investor meeting for Ireland or session WJC did for Haiti last year at CGI. – Ambassador said criticism of Kagame seems to have quieted, partly due to WJC and Blair’s unwavering support for Kagame. Ambassador said Kagame and Rwanda very much appreciate WJC’s unflinching support” (Amitabh Desai sending mail to fellow Clinton Foundation Staffers – ‘Subject: Qatar, Brazil, Peru, Malawi, Rwanda’ 16.04.2012).

If all of this isn’t worrying, if this state of play is what can be organized through a Clinton Administration it says something about the words they pick for the society and press to read, and how they really act. That their saying something, but act differently; that is not a good state of affairs for transparency and accountability of civil servants, Clinton Foundation or any organization.

We can all question why Rwanda and President Paul Kagame we’re getting so much credibility through programs of Clinton Foundation as he is not really a gentleman. He is surrounded by military and oppressive behavior that takes total control of state and business. Is that something the Clinton’s and their Foundation wants to be affiliated with, really?

It’s enough of sadness and disgusting e-mails for one day. Peace.   

New Leaks proves the Cozy Relationship between Clinton and the Media Part II

041215-hillary-media-jpg

Another day, another E-Mail leak from the inside of the Hillary Clinton for President 2016. This is mails leaked from the John Podesta files of WikiLeaks. This proves again their relationship with the corporate media that shows what they belief in and who they believe in. This here is just a taste of the leaks, as there are so many dropped every-day that there surely more stories that could been told.

Here today, we can see how the HRC campaign banter about New York Times stories, how they asked for quotes to Politico and also the Hill and Time Magazine. They are asking it differently. Still, showing

Story for Time Magazine:

“I am a reporter for TIME Magazine, and am working on a story about why Donald Trump bowed out of the 2012 presidential race. Would you, or any spokesperson for the Hilary campaign, be willing to be interviewed for the story? Let me know – there will of course be complete anonymity.  Best, Aditya to John Podesta” (Aditya Agrewa – ‘Subject: Interview for TIME Magazine’ (27.03.2015).

Wanting a fight with New York Times:

“They tried but could not confirm the politico story and then by day’s end yesterday, ODNI issued a statement saying the review was not done yet. Did I miss something or did they completely ignore the clapper matter and instead focus on another Grassley lead of an innocuous Teneo letter? I feel like a another public editor screed should be in the offing”. (Brian Fallon – ‘Subject: Re: We haven’t had a good war with NYT in awhile’ (07.11.2015).

Colum in the Hill:

“You should like it. I make a brief reference to her campaign going too negative in NH, hinting briefly it came from consultants, but otherwise it is 95% positive, mentions the WJC three minute video and her “imagine” speech as how she should proceed, says she has big dreams too and should tell America about them…. I did see a brief snippet on CNN that an unnamed aide is telling CNN that she is going to more aggressively negative against Bernie. I ignored that in my column but obviously believe that would be a big big mistake” (Brent Budowsky – ‘Subject: Re: Hillary column tomorrow’ 10.02.2016).

Getting Quotes to Politico:

“Hi John. Very nice talking to you the other day. A small request. Andrew Restuccia is writing about my departure for Monday, day of the announcement. He’d take a quote from you if you were able to email him something. If you’ve got time to do, his email address is ARestuccia@politico.com mailto:ARestuccia@politico.com Many thanks. Great day on Tuesday. Congrats. Talk soon” (SternTD sent mail to John Podesta: ‘Subject: quote for a story’ 18.03.2016).

This we’re what was from the Media, here was one important advice giving Hillary Clinton if she wanted to win this election:

The Clintons too often use language that is for Washington insiders and not for the rest of us out here in America. With Trump attacking Pres. Clinton for allegations of infidelity, she should not respond with “he can make personal attacks” or suggest that this is what Republicans have always done. Instead, she should make this a VERY PERSONAL MOMENT. She is failing to connect with voters – in large part, I believe, because she uses Washington speak. She should not just be connecting with women voters in a better way, they should be energized in a big way. She’s failing in this regard. Dump the Washington political speak immediately – including partisan language. Replace it with words that average voters understand. When she talks about Trump or Cruz or other Republicans, she should attack them for their policies – not even mention that they are Republicans. I also believe she’s making a mistake by attacking Sanders in a personal way. People grew tired of this from the Clintons. It’s not what they want to see. GET A PERSONAL CONNECTION”  (Steve Hildebrand to Joel Beneson – ‘Subject: *Some unsolicited advice’ 16.01.2016).

In this election that is the grandest advice anyone could have given her. Steve Hildebrand gave her a good one and hope she sticks to it.

These leaks are not a good look, but compared to sexist and chauvinistic leaks of Trump, these are more tolerable and understandable, as Clinton tries to use the system in her advantage, though not ethical correct as she then turns into a prop in the Media instead of being scrutinized as the Politician she is and with the luggage she carries. Peace.

New Leaks proves the Cozy Relationship between Clinton and the Media!

Hillary Speech

What has been questioned and used like a Urban legend by the Republican Party, proves now by the E-Mail leaks from WikiLeaks, as there certain Journalists and certain Companies that sees the Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Clinton has been little in the news compared to Trump that is because Trump is so blatant and destructive together with his views on Muslims, Mexicans, and Women, and so on.

Clinton together with her machinery of Democratic Party and her supportive organizations such as the Podesta who are advising the ‘Hillary for President’ and other organizations who works for Hillary Clinton; this proves the ways of the using the system and media today. During the weekend I wrote about what I found in the first Podesta leak, this about todays release of documents. This is what I found interesting.

From the New York Times Nicholas Confessore:

“Hi John, I am sure you have lot and lots of downtime these days to talk to reporters, and so this question no doubt is well-timed. But can you offer any wisdom on whether this contretemps between Messina and Brock tells us anything about the future of the other Obama alums who have found places, or are seeking them, in Greater Clintonland? To put the question more directly–is this blow up over Media Matters going to make it harder for the Clinton folks to bring in and use effectively the best of the Obama alums? Seems you are among the few people widely respected in both camps. So your opinion would count for a lot.  thank you,  Nick” (On Feb 10, 2015 1:36 PM, “Confessore, Nicholas”).

Podesta answered the Journalist: “Well put” (On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 11:54 AM, John Podesta).

Advertisement advice

“Hillary’s ads need to be young people – all under 45 and a smattering of older ones – validating her – saying why they support her / trust her with their future/ will vote for her -(maybe mix in some older Enviro leaders and civil rights leaders) with millennials and gen x- along with a boomer or two. Why they are for her versus – why she is for them” (From: Mariannes Smith, Date: 2016-02-18 20:33).

In November John Harwood wants Hillary Clinton to talk Economy…

with me, it will be the kind of substantive, deep, textured conversation about the economy she wants  John Harwood CNBC/NYT” (2015-11-24 10:38 Subject: Re: don’t you think it’s time…).

Questionable mail from Podesta to NBC:

He answered on the 15 March 2016 to NBC Universal with John Harwood. Where all he wrote that today: “Yup. Feeling good”.

Univision’s debate e-mail:

Haim , I just wanted to tell you that I thought the moderators for last nights Debate were excellent. They were thoughtful , tough and incisive. I thought it made Hilary appear direct and strong in her resolve. I felt it advanced our candidate. Thanks for Univision. Rob  Rob Friedman  Co-Chairman, Motion Picture Group  LIONSGATE” (Thursday, March 10, 2016 4:33 PM To: Haim Saban Subject: Univision).

Because of wrong endorsement the Clinton machine will not support a Candidate:

“Representative Gabbard,: We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn’t fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party’s nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved.  You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign” (From: Darnell Strom Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 3:13 PM To: Tulsi Gabbard Cc: Michael Kives Subject: Disappointed).

I just had to drop the representative who also endorsed Bernie Sanders we’re now cut of the money stream that is connected with Hillary Clinton. That proves that the ethical value doesn’t matters in the Democratic Party, but the loyalty to the picked nominee from the DNC. That is also worrying, not only how New York Times, Lionsgate or NBC who acts in favor of Clinton and wants her support. Peace.

T.I. – Why I Vote (Youtube-Clip)

“Our “Why I Vote” campaign gives artists a chance to share personal opinions on the key issues shaping the 2016 Presidential Election. Along the way, they encourage young people, a traditionally under-represented demographic at the polls, to participate in the political process that impacts us all. Each episode focuses on a particular subject, including immigration, LGBTQ rights, mass incarceration, and education opportunities. We’re hoping to galvanize first-time voters interested in shaping their own future. The latest episode features T.I. telling his own story of growing up in Atlanta at the beginning of the government’s “War on Drugs.” With an uncle going to prison, the young MC had a first-hand look at the way these policies impacted families and communities. The rise of mass incarceration and the privatization of prisons are paramount issues that drive T.I. to vote. He made an impassioned call to use our power as citizens and vote on November 8. From now through Election Day we will air new episodes of “Why I Vote” with American Authors, Kesha and several other artists we’ll announce soon. Watch, share and make sure your voice is heard by voting in the 2016 election. Music video by T.I. performing Why I Vote. 2016” (Vevo, 2016)

Similarities between “A Pimp Named Slickback” and the Presidential Candidate Donald Trump!

pimp-names-slickback

A Pimp Named Slickback: [reciting prayer] “Lord, please pray for the soul of this bitch. And guide my pimp hand and make it strong, Lord. So that she might learn a ho’s place. Amen”The Boondocks: Guess Hoe’s Coming to Dinner (#1.3)” (2005).

I am going back to fiction to explain the actions and words of Donald Trump, his misbehaving streak is abnormal as he has been a public figure and reality-show figure together with selling made-up businesses that isn’t real as well. Therefore his Trump Organizations gone to licensing instead of building something that matters in the recent decade.

When we speak about that, the recent leaks of Donald Trump said this in 2005:

“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it” (…) “I did try and f— her. She was married” (…) “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture” (…) “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married” (…) “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look” (…) “I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her” (…) “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait” (…) “And when you’re a star, they let you do it” (…) “You can do anything” (…) “Grab them by the p—y” (…) You can do anything” (Fahrenthold, 2016).

miss-universe-trump

In another Howard Stern interview in 2005 on Miss Universe:

“In an April 2005 episode, Stern asked Trump if there was ever a time when he had sex with Miss Universe or Miss USA contestants. “I never comment on things like that,” Trump answered” (…) “It could be a conflict of interest,” Trump said. “But, you know, it’s the kind of thing you worry about later, you tend to think about the conflict a little bit later on.” (…) Well, what you could also say is that, as the owner of the pageant, it’s your obligation to do that,” Trump said, before discussing how he got away with going backstage when the contestants were naked. “Well, I’ll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I’ll go backstage and everyone’s getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it,” Trump said. “You know, I’m inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good.” (CNN Politics, 2016).

We know it is worrying when I can take a fictional character like Pimp Named Slickback from the Boondock and find the similar attitude towards woman. The character that is made in the vision of Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Doggy Dog aka Snoop Lion. That isn’t something the Republican National Committee or Republican Party would envision for their Presidential Nominee before the Presidential ballots happening in November 2016.

Why I say that is the way he talked about woman in a disrespectable way. It is a decade ago he said these things about the gender and we’re proud of being inspecting the woman of Miss Universe

He said this about his daughter Ivanka Trump at Howard Stern:

“They’re quite something, starting with numerous lascivious Trump comments about his daughter Ivanka. (For instance: “Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern asks about Ivanka. “Yeah,” her father replies.)” (Fallows, 2016).

The ones that thought Trump we’re a noble guy, a man who has a broken record caring about the persons he sells his products and businesses too, would care about anybody else than himself. That the Trump calling Mexicans rapist would care about the gender of woman shouldn’t be surprised.

abc_donald_trump_george_stephanopoulos_2_bug_jt_160116_12x5_1600

On ABC News transcript from Interview with Rush Stephanopoulos:

“STEPHANOPOULOS (on camera): “So you’re not worried about Obama…”

TRUMP: “I won with…”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “– out there campaigning against you?”

TRUMP: “Look, you know what? Once we start, I think it’s going to be good. You know, Hillary Clinton, the only thing she’s got going, she plays the woman card 100 percent. I saw her in a speech, well Donald Trump spoke a little bit harshly to Megyn Kelly. Well, Megyn Kelly was really terrific. She called me and came up to my office. She wanted to make peace. And we did. We did. I mean, it was very nice. Some of the stuff is said as, you know, an entertainer, because I have The Apprentice, or some of it was said in fun with certain shows like Howard Stern, who is a friend of mine…”

STEPHANOPOULOS: “So, you’re not worried about the tapes of that coming back?”

TRUMP: “It comes back. I mean, look, what am I going to do? Everyone else thinks it. You know, these politicians, I watch the politicians, what they say behind the scenes makes whatever I said jokingly to Howard and other people like baby stuff. What they tell me behind the scenes talking about everything is far worse than anything that you’ve seen or you ever will see about me. And then they act like, oh, that’s so terrible. That’s so terrible. I mean, you know when it’s called? Give me a break. And I watch Hillary Clinton like she’s a baby. I mean, just look at what happens with her family. I watch Hillary Clinton like, oh, the way he talks to women, the way he talks to women, well — you know, take a look at her husband and what do you think he talks to women? So, when I watch her and she’s playing the women card so much and so loud. And frankly I think it’s her only chance of getting elected. You know what, listen, she’s going to get hit for it, because it’s not appropriate” (RUSH TRANSCRIPT FOR ‘THIS WEEK’ ON May 8, 2016).

He blames Hillary Clinton, his main competitor for being a woman. Her only promise for her campaign is her gender, not her career or her achievements in the Senate and as Secretary of State. That proves his chauvinism towards her and the attitude is old embedded in him. That the Republican candidate Trump at one point expected to get away with this because of his stature as a star.

donald-trump-quote-fiorina

Let’s see what Pimp Named Slickback said on the Boondocks TV show season 2 Episode:

“Tom: “I-I don’t think I need any help from (scoffs) someone like you”.

A Pimp named Slickback: “And by (scoffs) ‘someone like me’, you mean a pimp, a bad guy?

Tom: Now look, I’m not trying to insult you, I just don’t approve of what you people do to women. A Pimp named Slickback: (jeering) Ooooh! So I’m wrong! So I’m messed up! We’ll which one of us is the one missing a bitch, Tom? You don’t see me running around lookin’ for a bitch! I know where all of my bitches are, thank you very much! (dials number) Bitch where you at?! (ho speaks) I’m out here, gettin’ yo money! (Slickback retorts) That’s what the hell I thought, thank you grandma! (to Tom) Now look at you! Bitchless! Sans bitch, as the French in France would say!” (The Boondocks: Tom, Sarah and Usher [2.2]).

In another eposide he said this to Riley:

“A Pimp Named Slickback: I don’t think Homies Over Hoes is a sentiment that A Pimp Named Slickback can cosign, Riley. I mean don’t get me wrong. A Pimp Named Slickback would put a lot of things over a ho. Money over a ho? Always. Brand new gators over a ho? Absolutely. A turkey sandwich with just tomato? Guaranteed. But homies? Oh no. A Pimp Named Slickback don’t do shit for the homies. Let me reiterate. Don’t do shit for the homies. Unless the homie wanna walk that stroll and get that money, a homie ain’t gettin’ a goddamn thing. And the same goes for brothers, peeps, dudes, fellas, dunnies, comrades, whatever the fuck niggas is callin’ each other nowadays. Sound like some gay shit to me” (The Boondocks: The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2 [2.13]).

I hate to say this, but the belief in him and the attitudes towards woman is so similar, it is striking and Pimp Named Slickback isn’t a character I expected to find in the United States Presidential Candidate in 2016. I thought the world was better than this and the equality was in another state than it apparently is.

ivanka-trump

That comes from a Presidential Candidate Donald Trump can behave and say this about woman and stay by it; the consistence disrespect of the gender and even his own daughter Ivanka.  And that he sounds like a fictional character. That he acts the same way about woman like a pimping character and see’s woman the same way.

This is something all the ones that all of a sudden went away from him, these is a lot of old interviews. It’s not like it is fresh. These interviews are old news, but blowing up now because it shows his character. This should be well known already for the people and the American Electorate. For some reason, it is apparently not!

Just as the Boondocks isn’t fresh and isn’t hot right now, the same should be a about a womanizer like a fictional character. This proves his lack of moral, not only as a xenophobic person now, but his true chauvinism towards woman; and that is disrespectful just like he did with the Mexicans when launched his Presidential Campaign and also his continuously attack on the Muslims and their faith. He cannot bare himself from attacking others that are non-white and complaining that America is in tatters and need his saving.

The same way he in the past went with his ways on how to treat woman, grade them into ten’s and look at them because he could get away it all because of his stature, instead of respecting them like equals.   

The Republicans are already aggravated towards immigrations, so this is the extension of this and proves the character of the Presidential Candidate that we’re elected and their vetting of the 17 selected by the Republican National Committee; Paul Ryan the Republic leader of the House, must feel bad for this bad press at his tenure and re-election bid for vouching for this womanizer. Peace.

Remarkable remarks made by Hillary Clinton in her Wall Street speeches!

hillary-wall-street-banks-780x439

Some people have asked for this a long time as we all who has followed politics knows that the Democratic Party Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton has a track-record for paid speeches and earnings while being a career politician. This is a legacy she has left behind, neither if she likes it or not.

Hillary Clinton has been asked if she can reveal her transcripts or manuscripts for the speeches to the dozen of companies who has earned her millions. Therefore the these scripts proves her real belief, she is not an progressive as she made to believe to kick-out Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Party Primary.

To the Xerox on her Political Stance:

“*Clinton Said That Both The Democratic And Republican Parties Should Be “Moderate.” *“URSULA BURNS: Interesting. Democrats? SECRETARY CLINTON: Oh, long, definitely. URSULA BURNS: Republicans? SECRETARY CLINTON: Unfortunately, at the time, short. URSULA BURNS: Okay. We’ll go back to questions. SECRETARY CLINTON: We need two parties. URSULA BURNS: Yeah, we do need two parties. SECRETARY CLINTON: Two sensible, moderate, pragmatic parties.” [Hillary Clinton Remarks, Remarks at Xerox, 3/18/14]

She is more pragmatic and moderate, than Progressive, something the TYT have for instance been truthful about all along, and me too as that has been playing for the gallery and not her true self. In the next ones she proves that the Perception of the leaders of the Market and Economic framework, as will be shown about her true belief in banking when talking to the Goldman Sachs, Banco Itau and the Duetsche Bank. Here she proves her real allegiance with the banks and not with citizens who pays for the wealth of the banks while their house-market defaulted.

To the Duetsche Bank in 2014 on the Economy:

“*Clinton: “Even If It May Not Be 100 Percent True, If The Perception Is That Somehow The Game Is Rigged, That Should Be A Problem For All Of Us.” *“Now, it’s important to recognize the vital role that the financial markets play in our economy and that so many of you are contributing to. To function effectively those markets and the men and women who shape them have to command trust and confidence, because we all rely on the market’s transparency and integrity. So even if it may not be 100 percent true, if the perception is that somehow the game is rigged, that should be a problem for all of us, and we have to be willing to make that absolutely clear. And if there are issues, if there’s wrongdoing, people have to be held accountable and we have to try to deter future bad behavior, because the public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy.” [Clinton Remarks to Deutsche Bank, 10/7/14].

To Goldman Sachs on Banking Regulations:

Speaking About The Importance Of Proper Regulation, Clinton Said “The People That Know The Industry Better Than Anybody Are The People Who Work In The Industry.”* “I mean, it’s still happening, as you know. People are looking back and trying to, you know, get compensation for bad mortgages and all the rest of it in some of the agreements that are being reached. There’s nothing magic about regulations, too much is bad, too little is bad. How do you get to the golden key, how do we figure out what works? And the people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry. And I think there has to be a recognition that, you know, there’s so much at stake now, I mean, the business has changed so much and decisions are made so quickly, in nano seconds basically. We spend trillions of dollars to travel around the world, but it’s in everybody’s interest that we have a better framework, and not just for the United States but for the entire world, in which to operate and trade.” [Goldman Sachs AIMS Alternative Investments Symposium, 10/24/13].

As she has shown here is her real belief in the market handling them and she says that the ones knowing it is the ones working in it. Hillary isn’t really for regulations and even remarking that their either complaints about too much or too little.

To Banco Itau in the 2013 on an Open Market:

“*Hillary Clinton Said Her Dream Is A Hemispheric Common Market, With Open Trade And Open Markets. *“My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.” [05162013 Remarks to Banco Itau.doc, p. 28]

If you ever thought she was against the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement that will be beholden for the corporations and not for the citizens, the ones leading to the clear permits of more control of businesses over regulations. As the trading will counter the values of national states and governments as the work regulations is less important than the value of an Open-Market. Well, then some on technology.

On Blackberry and Technology in 2014:

“Clinton Said When She Got To State, Employees “Were Not Mostly Permitted To Have Handheld Devices.”* “You know, when Colin Powell showed up as Secretary of State in 2001, most State Department employees still didn’t even have computers on their desks. When I got there they were not mostly permitted to have handheld devices. I mean, so you’re thinking how do we operate in this new environment dominated by technology, globalizing forces? We have to change, and I can’t expect people to change if I don’t try to model it and lead it.” [Clinton Speech For General Electric’s Global Leadership Meeting – Boca Raton, FL, 1/6/14].

Here is even more news on Colin Powell, he seemed like ghost being mentioned lots, especially after his own e-mails we’re hacked where he profoundly spoke ill of Trump and endorsed Clinton, if I remember correctly. Here Clinton in Baca Raton in Florida and want to lead it, not being follower; that is what she asks of the men and woman in General Electric; she wants the giant company to lead and not follow. That shows her way of selling stories to her crowd. Surely something she has done during the campaign and will continue until she ends in the White House like her husband in the past.

What is clear is the manner of which she is proving to moderate, open-free-market, belief in self-governing banks and the will of TPP. So the talk that Obama made it into the Congress and Senate to shield Clinton is a blatant lie and the world should know it. Peace.

On Trump: Lack of taxation and a few official allegation towards him!

The Trentonian Trump Front Page

Another day and another allegation as the Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party doesn’t give to craps about Transparency and Accountability, that might be because his own operation is so shoddy and snobbish, while using shell-corporations and tax-havens to skim the United States tax-man out of money. The So-Called Billionaire is proving more questionable behaviour in both his Trump Organization and his Trump Foundation. That is vivid and direct acts of misbehaviour, even if legal still be questionable for his ethical acts of skimming the state of money through tax-codes and tax-breaks that the ordinary citizen only could dream of. If a citizen did the same and tried to take the IRS on the walk of tax-evasion than they would be made example off and taken to court for cheating; only because he is wealthy and has lawyers defending his case the IRS let him of the hook like they have done to the Scientology Organizations too. A quack knows another quack. Here is some outtakes of three different cases, two court documents and the second is from one of the leaked reports on the Real Estate Tax in New York City State.

Tax Evasion Complaints against Donald Trump and Trump Organization:

Count 1 – Political Corruption:

“In summer of 2013, at a time when her office was reviewing complaints against Trump University and related entities, Florida Attorney General Pamela Bondi Personally solicited  a campaign contribution from Trump” (…) “Weeks after Bondi solicited the contribution, on September 17, 2013, a political group backing Bondi’s re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving a $25,000contribution from The Trump Foundation. In its 2013 990-PF Information Return, the Trump Foundation reported making a contribution to Justice For All, although it listed the incorrect address for recipient of the $25,000 political contribution” (…) “By misappropriating the assets of the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and converting the assets of the foundation for his own personal use so as to promote his political agenda, Trump personally benefitted from the campaign contribution to And Justice for All. Because Trump converted and stole money from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, for his own use and benefit, he had a duty to report the $25,000 as income on his 2013 tax return” (IRS, 2016).

Count 2 – Failure to Report Income:

“In 2010, Richard Berlin, an Assistant Attorney General with the Texas Consumer Protection Division requested permission to file a lawsuit against Trump University, Trump and his business partners seeking more than $5.4 million in penalties andres titution related to fraud and deceptive business practices. The suit was dropped by the office of Texas Attorney General Gregory Abbott. Former Texas Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens said the case was strong and had been dropped for political reasons. In 2013, Trump contributed $35,000 to Attorney General Abbott in his campaign to be Governor of Texas. Gregory Abbott is presently the Governor of Texas. Trump has engaged in a pattern of corrupt influence peddling” (…) “By avoiding litigation in exchange for the payment of a bribe, Trump and The Trump Organization not only received a $5.4 million dollar benefit in that they avoided paying penalties and restitution, but they also received a valuable benefit in that they avoided the attorney’s fees and litigation costs that they would have incurred if the Attorney General’s Office had moved forward with the recommended litigation” (…) “There is probable cause to conclude that Trump and The Trump Organization did not report the $5.4 million benefit as income and that they did not pay taxes on this income because the payment itself was an illegal one and it is unlikely that Trump or The Trump Organization voluntarily disclosed these illegal acts to the United States government” (IRS, 2016).

Count 3 – Failure to Pay Tax:

“Trump oversaw the construction of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in New Jersey. In constructing Trump Plaza, a $7.8 million subcontract was awarded to S & A Concrete. S & A Concrete was partially owned by Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, the boss of the Genovese crime family. The Genovese crime family is part of “La Cosa Nostra” a notorious criminal organization originating in Sicily” (…) “Trump has also worked closely with other members and associates of organized criminal enterprises, including Danny Leung, Felix Sater, Salvatore Testa, and Kenneth Shapiro” (…) “Danny Leung, a vice president for foreign marketing at Trump Taj Mahal, was as an associate of the Hong Kong-based organized crime group 14K Triad” (…) “Salvatore Testa was a organized criminal who sold property to Trump in Atlantic City. Testa, a member of the Nick Scarfo crime family of Philadelphia, was active in drug dealing, extortion and murder” (…) “Felix Sater, was a partner and “senior advisor” to The Trump Organization from 2003 to2010. Sater has testified about his close relationship with Trump in opening the Trump Soho Hotel. According to the New York Times and the Washington Post, Sater has been convicted of money laundering, stabbing a man in the face with the stem of a Margarita glass, and participating in a “Mafia-orchestrated stock fraud scheme.” (IRS, 2016).

The Art of the Set - Trump U. P1

Vice News Complaints for release of Trump’s Tax Returns:

“On August 18, 2016, Plaintiffs, by and through undersigned counsel submitted a FOIA request to the IRS via fax for four categories of records: “any and all audits of Donald J. Trump’s individual income tax returns for tax years 2002 forward”; “any and all records mentioning or referring to audits of Donald J. Trump’s individual income tax returns for tax years 2002 forward”; “any and all requests by law enforcement agencies for copies of Donald J. Trump’s individual tax returns”; and “any and all records mentioning or referring to requests by law enforcement agencies for copies of Donald J. Trump’s individual tax returns.” (…) “5 24. As of the filing of this Complaint, Plaintiffs have not received a response from the FBI as to whether or not their request for expedited processing will be granted. COUNT I: VIOLATION OF FOIA 25. This Count re alleges and incorporates by reference all of the preceding paragraphs. All documents referenced in this Complaint are incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein. 26. The IRS has failed to grant or even rule on Plaintiffs’ request for expedited processing. 27. The FBI has failed to grant or even rule on Plaintiffs’ request for expedited processing. 28. Plaintiffs are deemed to have exhausted their administrative remedies because over 10 calendar days have elapsed without a determination as to whether or not they are entitled to expedited processing” (United States District Court for the District of Columbia, 2016).

Property Tax for Donald Trump of 26th August 2016:

As of the man who doesn’t deliver Tax Returns at least I got some believable numbers on the man. Donald J. Trump in August owns the NYC: $102.62. By October 3rd the NYC to pay $95,334.15; the proposed Finance-Property Tax of 7th January 2016 he had to pay Zero in this one. His taxing rate for over 10 condos in New York we’re on the rate of 12.883% and the average assessed value of $322.297. As his annual property tax is the rate of $190.463 (NYC, 2016).

If you don’t find it interesting how the So-Called Billionaire is using his funds to bribe an Attorney General in Florida to subdue the Court Case on the Trump University. It was also funds taken from his private Foundation, the Trump Foundation that is supposed to be charity and not another branch of the Trump Organization to finance his operations and businesses. If used so it is corruption and fraud of the ones giving money to the charity! That is not something Trump wants to add on his already questionable CV and business record. He tried to do the same as he did in Florida and Texas, as a way to avoid litigation against the Trump University. That shows that he doesn’t care about the ones he scammed in the University case, as he only cares about saving face and avoiding true judgement on the case in the states.

The others are directly cases on his Tax, as proven that doesn’t want to pay taxes or avoiding to do; as even the Vice News have issued the courts to let him drop his IRS Tax Returns. The Other question the Vice has is that there no evidence of that Donald J. Trump is really under Audit as he claims and want the Authorities to drop evidence of so. If that would come by the case and by court orders than the American people would know who Trump really is and how describe his wealth and how he runs his companies. That would be a healthy way, as there are reports of tax-avoidance, using tax-codes to not pay and so on. This would be the proof of the real value and the ethical aspects of how he handled monies day-to-day.

We can also here see the reports going out how he describe and pay for a short time for his valuable real-estate in New York City. That proves the inequality and question if he has devalued his real-estate as it is very low taxes for such amounts of real-estate. If this is proof of the value he pays of this than the IRS together with New York City State should look into their Tax-Codes and make sure the wealthy real-estate owners we’re doing due-diligent. Peace.

The Trump Tower: Some of Trump’s ethical conundrums concerning tax on his “flag-ship” enterprise!

landscape-1435616062-donald-trump-real-estate-history

This is just another day, another dig into the mess of a business-man, the so-called billionaire Donald J. Trump and his Trump Organization; with the dozens of companies and unsettled taxes and regulated operations that can be scrutinized at any second and certainly most of his businesses has been taken to court of maladministration, tax-fraud, tax-aviation or not-paying dues to contractors or sub-contractors. There been reports 1000s of court cases under the Trump Organizations. What is so special with this here, is the way the stifling conduct been done the Trump Tower, the big skyscraper, the one thing he might eventually actually able to pull off. The one giant footprint on the Manhattan Skyline; the dream of the Bronx kid that came into life; and now is there!

It is this Tower and the shady tax story of his favourite building, the building that first carried his name and his so-called fortune. The glory of the Trumps and their enterprises as the epitome of the marble and gold; the one place that settled his rise to build a so-called empire! It is these stakes and these enormous steps to either brilliance or doom that the stories show from the Trump Tower.

Donald Trump, wouldn’t like this piece, not because their my words, but because the harshness of the old documents showing his ruthless misbehaving and not conducting fair business in the Trump Tower and towards the tax-man of his beloved New York. So here it is. Some might be forgotten, and some is still fresh. Here is my take!

About the Condominium:

The Trump-Equitable Fifth Avenue Company was formed, an equal partnership. Equitable put in the fee. Mr. Trump contributed the lease, two small units he acquired on East 57th Street, and the air rights to Tiffany’s on the corner, which he needed for a zoning change to build a high-rise apartment house. The Trump Organization is sales and managing agent for the building, and Mr. Trump was able to put the family name over the four-story portal in colossal bronze letters – and two giant bronze Ts in the atrium” (…) “Chase Manhattan financed his $24 million purchases of the various leases and rights, and the bank also formed a syndicate for the $150 million construction loan” (…) “Anticipated condominium revenues of $260 million (85 percent of the 263 apartments have been sold) have effectively paid off the construction loan, leaving Trump Tower unencumbered by mortgages. The partnership retains ownership of the retail space and the 13 floors of office space, not yet rented, that are sandwiched in between. This commercial portion of the building is projected to yield rentals of $28 million a year” (…) “Mr. Trump expected that Trump Tower would qualify for a residential tax abatement. But after construction started, the city denied the exemption, estimated to be worth $15 million to $20 million, claiming it was intended to encourage low- and middle-income housing – not the deluxe apartments of the Tower. The city is now appealing a State Supreme Court ruling in Mr. Trump’s favor last June” (Bender, 1983).

As we see the Trump big man dream of 1980s and the braggadocios building came to life on loans from Chase Manhattan and leases not even built on Trumps own monies. Therefore it was an investment in the trusts of others capital something he would continue to do as business in the future with less intelligence and less of ability to land with a great deal. As shown in other pieces. Still, the result of Trump Tower was not as anticipated as the value of the floors and the denied exemption makes it more expensive to rent and have stores in the Trump Tower. Something that was a loss for the millionaire… and also promises not kept to the state of New York.

Supreme Court on the Tax-Exemption on the Condominium:

“During the pendency of the court challenges to the City’s denial of section 421-a tax benefits, petitioner paid the City’s tax assessments under protest. After the Court of Appeals ruled petitioner was entitled to receive section 421-a tax benefits, the City gave petitioner a refund check in March 1986 and then issued a set of remission letters in April 1986 concerning the payment of certain refunds for the overpayment of tax assessments for the 1981-82 through 1983-84 tax years. The refund, however, was based on an application of section 421-a tax exemption benefits to that portion of Trump Tower which consisted of residential units calculated to be 64.6% of the building’s aggregate floor area. Petitioner maintains the correct amount of residential units is 66.31% of aggregate floor area” (…) “The City contends that the July 1988 remission letters properly distributed the 12% exemption for commercial space allowed by RPTL 421-a among all units in the building and properly charged the remaining liability for excess nonexempt commercial space to the commercial unit alone” (…) “Judge Simons concluded that the Legislature intended all properties, regardless of the type of ownership, to receive the benefit of the exemption and that “the exemption is to be applied to the building as a whole, to the extent permitted, and not to parts of it” (supra, at 345). Moreover, the court went on to state that: “In the case of condominium units that means that the mini tax assessment must be applied to the entire building and the assessment then apportioned on a unit-by-unit basis as required by Real Property Law § 339-y. The failure to do so effectively excises from the statute buildings held in condominium ownership and applies the exemption differently depending on the type of ownership” (supra, at 345)” (…) “Order and judgment (one paper), Supreme Court, New York County, entered on September 7, 1989, unanimously modified, on the law, to the extent of striking the City’s computation concerning the floor ratio between the residential and commercial condominium units of Trump Tower, recalculating the proportionate tax benefits and tax liabilities among the units, declaring petitioner entitled to interest on additional refunds computed from the date of payment and modifying the last decretal paragraph to direct the payment of interest on said additional refunds pursuant to General Municipal Law § 3-a, and otherwise affirmed, without costs and without disbursements” (Supreme Court of New York, 1990).

As of the court date years on end as the proof of it after and the show of dubious numbers and changing facts from the Trump Organization towards the tax-man. This is proven with the different numbers for the 421- in building towards the business end of the operation in the towers, that we’re differing from the applications that we’re accepted by the great state of New York. So the Trump violated the trust between him as a builder and the state that let him build and gave him favourable tax to get investors investing in his project and skyscraper. This proves the malicious and dubious businessman in the making, when he does it even on his flag-ship enterprise in Manhattan. Take a look at the continuation of it!

Tax Case on the Condominium 1996:

Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States(“Equitable”) and Petitioner (collectively referred to as the “Venturers”) entered in a joint venture agreement, dated January30, 1980 (the “Venture Agreement”) to form the Trump-Equitable Fifth Avenue Company (the “Venture”) to develop a luxury mixed-use building located at 721-725 Fifth Avenue (“Trump Tower”). The purpose of the Venture was to: (a) acquire title to certain land and existing buildings; (b) demolish the existing buildings; (c) construct a new building — Trump Tower — to be owned in condominium form; (d) sell residential condominium units therein; and (e) lease office retail and other commercial condominium space therein. Venture Agreement section” (…) “The only witness to testify on behalf of Petitioner as to what his activities were with respect to the Venture was his representative and accountant, Jack Mitnick” (…) “Mr. Mitnick testified that Petitioner was compensated for the following services that he performed for the Venture: (a) the demolition of the preexisting buildings; (b) the construction of Trump Tower; (c) the promotion and sale of condominium units in Trump Tower; (d) the rental of commercial condominium units; and(e) the selling of residential condominium units” (…) “Mr. Mitnick also testified that the “Trump Corporation” performed sales and advertising services under the Development, Sales and Leasing Agreement and reported the resulting income in a City General Corporation Tax return according to Mr. Mitnick’s testimony, the Venture paid a “development fee” directly to Petitioner in his individual capacity which Petitioner reported as “[personal] income” and which was[also] “reported [on the Venture’s UBT return] as compensation of a partner. . .;” i.e., which was not deducted on the Venture’s UBT return” (…) “On March 31, 1984, nineteen days after he exercised the Option, Petitioner sold the Condominium for $3,000,000” (…) “On the Schedule D attached to Petitioner’s Federal income tax return for the Tax Year, Petitioner reported a $2,365,352 capital gain from the sale of the Condominium (the “Gain”). The sale of the Condominium was the only direct sale of real property during the Tax Year by Petitioner that was evinced in the record. The record indicates that much of Petitioner’s other real estate activities were conducted through related entities, particularly corporations” (…) “Petitioner filed a City UBT return for the Tax Year (the “Return”) in which he reported his principal business activity as “consulting.” The Return reported negative taxable business income of $619,227. Schedule C of Petitioner’s Federal personal income tax return (Form 1040), upon which the Return was based, indicates that Petitioner had total deductions of $626,264, even though he had no income or receipts from his business activity” (…) “By transmittal letter dated July 24, 1992 (which mistakenly lists the year as 1994 instead of 1992), another of the Commissioner’s representatives produced the original Return –which did not have an Extension Request attached to it – and requested that it be entered into evidence. No request was ever made to extend the June 18, 1992 date set at the hearing for the production of the original Return and the close of the record” (…) “CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:” (…) “However, the problem at issue is not one of double taxation, but of no taxation. Because the Condominium was sold by Petitioner and not the Venture, the Gain cannot be taxed to the Venture. Therefore, if Petitioner is correct that he is not taxable on the Gain, the income realized from highly appreciated inventory property extracted from the Venture only days before its sale would escape all taxation under the UBT” (…) “Petitioner admits, on of his supplemental reply brief, that: “Trump provided management services to the Partnership [Venture].” Petitioner’s accountant testified that Petitioner received payments for development services provided to the Venture which he took into income for personal income tax purposes. By virtue of the pro-vision of such services to the Venture, Petitioner is found to have been engaged in a taxable trade or business for UBT purposes” (…) “Respondent asserts that because Petitioner and Equitable each owned the same interest in the partnership [the Venture]” and Petitioner received more Options than Equitable, the Option was granted in exchange for services. This conclusion is questionable. The provision in the Venture Agreement which indicates that there was to be an equal profit split, expressly states that it is subject to other provisions in that agreement — such as the provision granting the Excess “Options. Thus, effectively, the Venture Agreement grants each Venturer a 50% profits interest in those Condominiums not subject to the Options and a 100% profits interest in those Condominiums as to which that Venturer held an option” (…) “Respondent submitted the original Return after the date set in the stipulation without any explanation why the stipulation – the agreement his representative entered into — should not been forced. Parties must be bound by the representations that they make to this forum absent a compelling reason to the contrary. As no such compelling reason was provided, the stipulation will been forced. Respondent is therefore deemed to have waived the late filing penalty” (…) “As Petitioner held and exercised the Option as part of his unincorporated trade or business, the Gain was connected with that trade or business and is subject to the UBT” (…) “The Petition of Donald Trump is denied except to the extent that the deficiency asserted in the Notice of Determination, dated November 18, 1987, is to be modified to eliminate the 25% late filing penalty” (New York Tax Appeal Court, 1996).

gop-2016-trump

Just as a decade has gone, but the Donald Trump didn’t give and wouldn’t give into the tax-man of New York State, even after the Supreme Court of New York judged in favor of a new tax-plan for the Trump Tower. This proves how he used business associates and fellow businessman to vouch for him and not take the blame as the Mr. Mitnick we’re in charge of selling a condominium at the Tower, but didn’t register the sale as the Corporation was not yet filed in the State. Therefore tried to circumvent the laws and get away with paying tax for the gain and the profits stemmed from sales of property at the Tower. This is another case than the initial Tax-Exemption that Trump tried to keep, even as he didn’t keep his promise of space of commercial versus housing in the tower and therefore we’re viable for more tax on the property.

The same kind of trick done here just years as he tries to avoid paying tax on selling property in the tower and also filling the form late therefore getting a 25% tax penalty on the case. That he also wanted to be axed. Also the use of different years in the filing trying to cover up the bogus attempt of not paying tax on the $3m sale of property where he earned about $2.4m directly as the deductions we’re about $600k shows the level of carelessness and trying to directly avoid any sort taxation by state. Trump Organization we’re interested in the sale, but not properly filling in the taxes or the previous owner as the direct sale without a entity we’re used to seal the away instead of getting direct tax of profits.

The Copy of the 1994 tried to fill in the profits, instead of 1992, therefore the New York Commissionaire had during trial come with an original Tax Return to show the real numbers of the transaction and the gain of the individual Trump, who we’re to be taxed for the sale of the Condominium, which he diligently tried to not to pay.

That is enough for now. Has more on his taxes later. This man is just too dishonest. It is so strange that the GOP accepted the man as their candidate for President. Peace.

Och-Ziff Hedge Fund Settles FCPA Charges (29.09.2016)

oz-management-p2

Washington D.C., Sept. 29, 2016 — The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Och-Ziff Capital Management Group has agreed to pay nearly $200 million to the SEC to settle civil charges of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Och-Ziff CEO Daniel S. Och agreed to pay nearly $2.2 million to settle SEC charges that he caused certain violations along with CFO Joel M. Frank, who also agreed to settle the charges.
The SEC detected the misconduct while proactively scrutinizing the way that financial services firms were obtaining investments from sovereign wealth funds overseas.  The SEC’s subsequent investigation of Och-Ziff found that the fund used intermediaries, agents, and business partners to pay bribes to high-level government officials in Africa.  According to the SEC’s order, the illicit payments induced the Libyan Investment Authority sovereign wealth fund to invest in Och-Ziff managed funds.  Other bribes were paid to secure mining rights and corruptly influence government officials in Libya, Chad, Niger, Guinea, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The SEC’s order finds that Och-Ziff executives ignored red flags and corruption risks and permitted illicit transactions to proceed.
“Och-Ziff engaged in complicated, far-reaching schemes to get special access and secure significant deals and profits through corruption,” said Andrew J. Ceresney, Director of the SEC Enforcement Division. “Senior executives cannot turn a blind eye to the acts of their employees or agents when they became aware of suspicious transactions with high-risk partners in foreign countries.”
The SEC’s order finds that Och-Ziff’s books and records did not accurately describe the true purposes for which managed investor funds were used, and the company did not have adequate internal controls to detect or prevent the bribes.
oz-management
 “Och-Ziff falsely recorded the bribe payments and failed to devise and maintain proper internal controls,” said Kara Brockmeyer, Chief of the SEC Enforcement Division’s FCPA Unit.  “Firms will be held accountable for their misconduct no matter how they might structure complex transactions or attempt to insulate themselves from the conduct of their employees or agents.”
The SEC’s order finds Och-Ziff violated the anti-bribery, books and records, and internal controls provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and affiliated investment adviser OZ Management violated the anti-fraud provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.  Och-Ziff and OZ Management agreed to pay $173,186,178 in disgorgement plus $25,858,989 in interest for a total of $199,045,167.  The order finds that Och caused violations in two Och-Ziff transactions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and he agreed to pay $1.9 million in disgorgement and $273,718 in interest to settle the charges.  The order finds that Frank caused violations in Och-Ziff transactions in Libya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and a penalty will be assessed against him at a future date.  Och and Frank consented to the SEC’s order without admitting or denying the findings.
As part of its settlement agreement with the SEC, Och-Ziff acknowledged that it expected to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department in a parallel criminal proceeding, and its subsidiary OZ Africa Management GP LLC agreed to enter into a plea agreement.  Och-Ziff is expected to pay a criminal penalty of $213 million.
The SEC’s investigation is continuing.  It is being conducted by Neil Smith and Paul Block of the FCPA Unit and Rory Alex, Marc Jones, and Martin Healey of the Boston Regional Office.  The SEC appreciates the assistance of the Fraud Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Revenue Service’s Criminal Investigations Division as well as the assistance of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, the Guernsey Financial Services Commission, the Jersey Financial Services Commission, the Malta Financial Services Authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission, and the Swiss Ministry of Justice.
