NEW YORK CITY MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG
OBAMACSI.COM: The current mayor of Mayor of New York City is
none other than Zionist Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg has played a key role in
restricting 9/11 first responders from adequate heath care, and has stonewalled
an independent investigation into the attacks of 9/11. Because of Bloomberg's
political allegiances, there is no possible way that an Obama assassination
would receive an full, independent and open investigation, thus making New York
City a prime location for a U.S. Presidential assassination.
Title: A New 9/11 Investigation in New York City? The Voters Will Decide—If the Lawyers Let Them

Abstract: In the five years since the 9/11
Commission released its studious but timid report, Americans of all
political stripes have advocated for a new investigation into the
attacks of September 11, 2001. Since Obama seems intent upon putatively
pardoning the Bush Administration for all of its crimes and misdemeanors,
such an investigation will clearly not take place at the federal level.
But a New-York based organization has been pursuing a local effort—and
on the eve of the eighth anniversary of the attacks, it has achieved
what could be an important step toward its goal. The New York City Coalition for Accountability Now
(NYC CAN), which describes itself as “a group comprising 9/11 family
members, first responders, and survivors,” has gathered signatures to
place a referendum for a new 9/11 investigation on the November ballot
in New York City.
The Bloomberg administration fought the effort by claiming that only
about 26,000 of the 52,000 signatures submitted by NYC CAN were valid,
leaving the group some 4,000 short of the requirement for a ballot
measure. After the New York courts appointed a “referee”
to review the tossed-out petitions, NYC CAN scrambled to validate
thousands of signatures, and submitted 28,000 more. And just yesterday,
the group announced in a press release
that “in a last minute decision, lawyers for the City of New York have
conceded that [NYC CAN] indeed did submit over 30,000 valid
signatures...The City’s concession...paves the way for lawyers for both
sides to argue the legality of the petition.”
There are several more hurdles ahead: New York City has a long history of
blocking citizen-generated ballot initiatives on the grounds of legal
technicalities. And all legal issues must be resolved by September 30
for the measure to make it onto the November ballot. But if the
referendum were to be presented and passed, it would lead to the
creation of what its authors describe as “a local, independent
commission with subpoena power that would be tasked with comprehensively
reinvestigating the attacks” (Baltimore & Sun Sentinel, 2009).
Title: First Responders Decry Exclusion From 9/11 Ceremony
Date: August 16, 2011
Source: CNNAbstract: When debris rained from the sky in lower Manhattan on September 11,
2001, the first responders to the terrorist attack did not turn away.
They rushed to the World Trade Center buildings while the world around
them crumbled.
Yet now, after all the wreckage has been cleared
and the rebuilding has begun, their path is again blocked -- not by
flying chunks of smoldering rubble, but by space constraints.
The
first responders are not invited to this year's September 11 memorial
ceremony at ground zero, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office
confirmed Monday.It's a painful insult for many of the approximately 3,000 men and
women who risked their lives, limbs and lungs on that monumental day,
puncturing another hole in a still searing wound.
In a statement, Bloomberg spokesman Andrew Brent said the commemoration ceremony is for the victims' families.
"While
we are again focused on accommodating victims' family members, given
the space constraints, we're working to find ways to recognize and honor
first responders, and other groups, at different places and times,"
Brent said.
But first responder John Feal, founder of an advocacy
group for the police officers, firefighters, civilian volunteers and
others who worked at ground zero, assailed Brent's response, saying
Bloomberg "lives in his own world."
"The best of the best that this country offered 10 years ago are being neglected and denied their rightful place," Feal said.
Denise
Villamia, a first responder who worked at ground zero for several
months, cried over the phone as she recalled her "totally heartbroken"
reaction to the news that she could not attend the memorial service.
"I'm
crying because it's really a big betrayal on the part of the city, to
rob me from my way to pay homage and to find that comfort and healing,"
she said. "I feel that I have been robbed of my way to pay tribute."
In
addition to the victims' families, several politicians, including two
presidents, are expected to be in attendance. Bloomberg's office would
not provide specifics on the ceremony's arrangements, but did note that
the first responders have not been invited to the preceding nine
memorial services, either.
Yet first responder Morris Faitelewicz,
vice president of the Auxiliary Police Supervisors Benevolent
Association, called that explanation "nonsense." Faitelewicz said that,
while there are not usually formal invitations, first responders have
been able to attend all of the previous ceremonies simply by showing up (CNN, 2011).
