Bloomberg Takes the Ride of His Life
Mayor Bloomberg takes the subway periodically, about once a month according to his staff, so that he can be with the people. Unfortunately he picked the day when WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com reporters were outside City Hall. The ride lasted about 15 minutes and Luke, Tom, Nate and several other concerned citizens used every minute to bring up questions from parking tickets to 9/11.
Luke started in with an attack on the Ground Zero Memorial. Why are you disrespecting the family members by moving the memorial off the grounds of the World Trade Center? Read a great article about this and the massive money spent by Pataki and Bloomberg after 9/11 here by Debra Burlingame. www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008478
Debra Burlingame is the sister of Captain Charles "Chic" Burlingame, III, pilot of American Airlines flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. He participated in the very pentagon drill which envisioned just such an attack and she died under mysterious circumstances in a fire later after investigating the money trail. It's all just a coincidence.
Luke moved on by adding that 46% of the remains have not been found, why do you want to build on holy ground? By the way family members this year are just asking to go down the ramp but Bloomberg said in an earlier interview ,"It doesn't work. And you know we just have to get used to the fact that there's a lot of construction going on there." I guess everyone is supposed to move on and stop bugging the government about trivial issues like this. Why are you ignoring the rescue workers who are sick and dieing? How did building 7 come down? The EPAs lies are causing the deaths of thousands of first responders. Still no response from the Mayor.
With the film ban going into effect there was plenty of questions about the constitutionality of it all. Even Keith Olbermann said it was the worst constitutional attack he could think of. Questions came fast and furious like, why do you want to destroy the constitution? You want to run for President, aren't you concerned with destroying the constitution? Nate was right on the mark when he added, "If it's unconstitutional it's null and void, you know we will win in court don't you?" Luke reminded Mayor Bloomberg that he has money invested in a media company and doesn't he see the conflict of interest, "you want to ban filming?"
Other points were made like, your just trying to put fear into us hoping we won't film, we will continue to film even if you declare martial law. Your making criminals out of ordinary citizens by arresting bicycle riders (See the Critical Mass Video by WeAreChange) and now people with cameras. Stop selling out to the corporate banks, sir. There's lots of questions, It's you opportunity as mayor to actually address these questions.
The Mayor's goons make a big deal about the fact that our reporters do not have official New York City issued press passes. However this does not excuse the Mayor from not answering the questions put forth even if they are from his constituency. However this just shows that the media is controlled and if they were to ask these questions they might fear having their passes revoked.
Tom Foti said it best when he said "Until we get answers, this is how it's going to be"
@propellerhead23 Im a New Yorker and I hate Michael Bloomberg. I know a ton of people who do not think kindly of him either. Mostly from Queens because of the way he treats us, specifically during the recent snow storms and blizzards but not limited to those events. Residents on the Upper East side love him because he treats them much better. unfortunately, not all of us can afford to live on the UES like him. Its unfair for him to treat middle class and residents of outer boroughs so poorly.

on the contrary - his poll numbers are very high and he will most likely be re-elected for a 3rd term

I commend the people for using their constitutional right to speak out.we are constantly told "if you have nothing to hide you should'nt be worried".NOW.what happens when the people turn that doubespeak standard back at our elected officials(public officials mind you),it looks like we cant get any line of debate or dialogue started. they start saying harrassment so they wont have to speak.we need a real investigation of 911 not the trumped up bullshit we've been spoonfed from PUBLIC officials.

I totally agree. There's a difference between the 1st amendment and blatantly harrassing/ridiculing someone during a trip on a Subway.
At work, your place of business, when you have to discuss something with your Employer, do you yell out question in the middle of the office or request time for discussion?
At the Supermarket, if you come across a rotten apple in a barrel, do you start shouting in the store demanding answers for how this apple got there while disrupting everyone?
