Is this truly the 'Twilight of the Elite' Christine Quinn?

As stated in Rolling Stone: “In an excellent new book, Twilight of the Elites, journalist Chris Hayes argues that what happened is this: Our ruling class failed us. Behind the seemingly haphazard pile-up of recent calamities he sees a pattern: In each case, a cadre of Very Important People succumbed to some combination of blinkered groupthink, deception, self-dealing, fraud, smugness, and self-delusion. And in virtually every case, they escaped accountability. Or, as Hayes puts it: "All the smart people f_cked up, and no one seems willing to take responsibility."

SOCIETAL ELITES ATTEMPT TO INSTALL CHRISTINE QUINN AS MAYOR OF NYC

New Yorkers have and continue to be fleeced with precision by politicians who cloak themselves in identity politics and faux pro-business managerial efficiency while discarding any sense of fair play or concerning themselves with equity towards the vast majority of citizens of this city who were not beneficiaries of their insider deals. Yet despite historic City Hall Scandals highlighted by citizens like Donny Moss and Suzannah B. Troy taint the very legacy that Bloomberg/Quinn's expensive PR representatives have sought and continue to attempt to create but the greedy march forward. In many ways, with his 'Reputation on the Line' Mike Bloomberg's third term may be viewed by legitimate historians (those free of manipulation and control by the elite societal spin machine) much like the closeted - Mayor Ed Koch's third term where corruption prevailed over all else, with his final maneuver to install Quinn as the nail in his own political coffin.

Bill Rudin, CEO of Rudin Management and ABNY – Association for a Better New York and Mayor Mike Bloomberg seek to install Boss Quinn as the next Mayor of New York City. Christine Quinn represents, in my estimation, a doubling down by certain elites in an effort to control the aftermath of what they have created for or imposed on the rest of us, through unchecked and uninvestigated government waste and crony capitalist insider deals that violate the public trust and are leading to the erosion of the vibrancy of the historic metropolis.

ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION PLAN FOR NYC IS NOT INCLUSIVE OR VISIONARY

You see, the greedy crony capitalist pigs like Bill Rudin - “GOD’S Special Little Creature” and the politicians he owns like Christine Quinn and Senator Tom Duane, along with the societal elites enabling them on the City Planning Commission have no economic plan beyond hoping to turn New York City into some hollow elitist utopia of high rise luxury condos in prolific glass towers in neighborhood's extracted of their essential character. Their simple plan is to lure the super rich from around the world to our metropolis by positioning New York as a hedonistic playground for the clueless, the soul less and the immoral. Under the guise of modernization and advancing societal interests but with no regard for historic communities like Greenwich Village, they will tear down landmark buildings, including humanitarian hospitals, public schools and other properties zoned for community use to build luxury towers. Enabled by Christine Quinn's so called 'Affordable Housing' Plan which was rightfully called nothing more than a 'Multi-Billion Dollar Giveaway' to Developers, they will destroy the fabric of what was once the greatest city in the world to enrich themselves and build their 'Golden Calf' or Tower(s) of Babel. Christine Quinn is their agent; the ‘Devil’s Advocate’

DESECRATION OF ST. VINCENT’S: A NY LANDMARK COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER

'Pontificating Poseur & Societal Elite Windbag' - Senator Tom Duane – an opportunistic and self professed LGBT hero and his protégé in identity politics, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn enabled her crony capitalist sponsor, Bill Rudin of Rudin Management and the Rudin Family to seize St. Vincent’s Hospital, the epicenter of the AIDS Crisis, for pennies on the dollar so he could build the Rudin Family Luxury Blood Condos: a luxury high rise that will dwarf all currently existing buildings in the area on a land which had long been zoned for community use. Now because of this, the entire West Side of Manhattan south of 59th St. has no hospital.

TRADING ONE SET OF GANGSTERS FOR ANOTHER: The Problem with Rigged Games to Benefit Societal Elites

WHO is Bill Rudin? Is he a Philanthropist, the Ultimate Political Insider, a Backroom Dealer, a Criminal Crony Capitalist, a Real Estate Mafia Boss or all of the above?

Consider that of the top five or ten families of Real Estate Development in New York City and of those among the 'Most Powerful People in New York Real Estate', none of them interfered with Bill Rudin's plans to acquire or destroy St. Vincent's Hospital, a 160 year old landmark medical treatment facility that provided critical humanitarian care to New Yorkers in one crisis after another. The property was a steal obtained at pennies on the dollar. Why didn’t they bid or compete with Rudin Management in its acquisition of St. Vincent’s? Ask yourself? Perhaps because they know he will have the next Mayor’s ear like he had this one’s and as the head of ABNY – the Association for a Better New York, the Mafia Boss can dole out favors for his friends without them getting their hands dirty. Gangster right? Joseph Bonanno would have been impressed with this kind or organization and attention to detail. This kind of crony capitalism insures a massive financial windfall to a crooked backroom dealer and his family enterprise but defrauds a hospital and its creditors making it unable to obtain a more competitive purchase price. The community loses a critical care facility but Rudin gets richer in an instant while we as a society are poorer as a result. This is NOT ‘Capitalism’ but rather is Criminal "Crony Capitalism" or simply organized crime, not far different than these other legendary Five Families of New York City.

“GOD’S SPECIAL LITTLE CREATURE” – BILL RUDIN of the Rudin Family Real Estate Dynasty: Where are New York’s Serious Journalists? SOMEONE – ANYONE? Perhaps a “SERIOUS JOURNALIST” should do some investigative reporting. DIG a little and ask:

"What was the financial situation of the RUDIN Real Estate Dynasty immediately prior to the deal to collapse St. Vincent’s Hospital and turnover property zoned for Community Use to the Rudin Real Estate Family?"

HUH? Speak to me? Rumor has it that they needed to steal St. Vincent's to remain afloat financially because the spendthrift clan of trustafarian's and philanthropic poseurs were running their empire into the ground with their decadent and indulgent lifestyles. So they offer up a 160 year old Landmark Humanitarian Medical Treatment Center, a critical care facility and trauma center that was at the epicenter of the AIDS Crisis, so Mr. Rudin, the man who runs an entity called ABNY – Association For A Better New York could save his clan. Maybe Bill Rudiin, just like Eddie Barzoon (in the Devil’s Advocate) is "God's Special Little Creature" . As stated by John Milton

Eddie Barzoon! Eddie Barzoon! Ha! I nursed him through two divorces, a cocaine rehab, and a pregnant receptionist. God's creature, right? God's special creature. I've warned him, Kevin. I've warned him every step of the way. Watching him bounce around like a fucking game. Like a wind-up toy. Like 250 pounds of self-serving greed on wheels. The next thousand years is right around the corner. Eddie Barzoon... take a good look, because he's the poster child for the next millennium. These people, it's no mystery where they come from. "You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire. You build egos the size of cathedrals. Fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse. Grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green gold-plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor, becomes his own god. Where can you go from there? As we're scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet? As the air thickens, the water sours, even bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity... and it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare; it's buy futures, sell futures... when there is no future. We got a runaway train, boy. We got a billion Eddie Barzoon's all jogging into the future. Every one of them is getting ready to fist-fuck God's ex-planet, lick their fingers clean, as they reach out toward their pristine, cybernetic keyboards to tote up their fucking billable hours. And then it hits home. You got to pay your own way, Eddie. It's a little late in the game to buy out now. Your belly's too full, your dick is sore, your eyes are bloodshot and you're screaming for someone to help. But guess what — there's no one there! You're all alone, Eddie. You're God's special little creature. Maybe it's true. Maybe God threw the dice once too often. Maybe He let us all down."

"A BETTER NEW YORK” - FOR THE BLOOD THIRSTY RUDIN FAMILY?

Is this what Quinn’s sponsor believes will lead to “A Better New York” – that he trumpets through ABNY – the Association for a Better New York? The best AIDS Memorial is preservation of the hospital and treatment facility at the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic, for its humanity in treating patients not luxury condos in its place. Consider this photo of the gutting of the 160 year old chapel at St. Vincent's Hospital a reminder that Christine Quinn signed off on the up zoning that allowed her real estate donors to demolish the buildings of St. Vincent's Hospital and erect a luxury condo high rise on this land that was zoned for community use.

As reported elsewhere, consider further that on Halloween of 2012 when a reporter asked predator Bill Rudin what he was doing to contribute to Hurricane Relief efforts, the reported stopped short in asking about the emergency hospital evacuations of NYU Langone, Bellevue Hospital, Coler Hospital and the controversial luxury condo conversion of St. Vincent's Hospital made possible by NYC Council Speaker - Christine Quinn, which left Lower Manhattan and the West Side particularly vulnerable.

Quinn is now taking heat from the LGBT Community including her own Chelsea: District 3, because, her remarks (via mass email) praising Ed Koch upon his death, she didn't acknowledge his failure to address the AIDS Crisis as thousands of gay men were dying. The gay press has not yet mentioned the fact that Christine Quinn actually rewarded Koch for his endorsement, despite his preference for someone other than Quinn, by renaming the Queensboro Bridge after him in exchange for his unwavering support of her Mayoral candidacy. The Council and the public opposed the renaming of that bridge. Yet no real New Yorker I know will ever refer to the Queensboro Bridge as anything other than that or the 59th Street Bridge.

THE BACKLASH IS COMING - Five Borough Citizen Revolt to Block Quinn - the Devil's Advocate

NYC contains 5 Boroughs to the chagrin of Christine Quinn who may like to think that it consists exclusively of London Terrace in Chelsea, the Upper East Side, Tribeca and Wall Street. And New York City even contains folks that you might not meet at high society cocktail parties where they give you awards for simply showing up and being a gay woman. Christine Quinn's Graft, Greed, Self-Dealing, Patent Dishonesty and Anti-Democratic Agenda have led to mainstream grassroots five borough citizens campaign to oust her from city politics. It is a campaign united against the installation of Christine Quinn, the hand chosen puppet and successor of Mike Bloomberg, with the intent to block her from gaining access to City Hall and Gracie Mansion. This is true regardless of the mainstream media's effort to not cover it accurately and honestly. Instead journalistic hacks continue to gloss over the deep and widespread contempt that exists for Christine Quinn across the metropolitan area even in highly progressive democratic circles, within the LGBT Community and within her own district.

CHRISTINE QUINN’S JANE JACOBS PROBLEM

Jane Jacobs, the urban planner, activist and author of among other books 'The Death and Life of Great American Cities' prior to her death had warned us about the 'Dark Age Ahead'. The pillars of societal foundation are eroding. We are developing communities without a soul contributing to disconnection between the people and the institutions which were supposed to serve them. Crony Capitalism, insider deals between politicians and civic leaders like those of Quid Pro Quinn and her pay to play politics, helping her friends tear down landmark properties like St. Vincent’s Hospital (see:Rudin Family Luxury Blood Condos) and renaming bridges to obtain endorsements from legendary Mayors like Ed Koch for the Queensboro Bridge, violate the public trust. Quinn is a con-artist without a vision for NYC beyond her own self enrichment and identity politics; everything that Jane Jacobs stood against. Hence perhaps that is why as noted by The Epoch Times: Christine Quinn Protested During Naming of Jane Jacobs Way. See the video.

THE MASK OF SENSITIVITY OR SOCIAL TOLERANCE ON LGBT RIGHTS IS THE NEW COVER FOR CRONY CAPITALISM

WAKE UP my fellow Americans and my fellow New Yorkers to the new political reality. Identity Politics is the new camouflage for corrupt politicians - Democratic Politicians sadly! Too many liberals are being duped by the camouflage of identity politics of abject criminal frauds like Christine Quinn and the retiring and annoyingly verbose, self serving and pontificating windbag -Tom Duane who at one posed as a friend of St. Vincent’s before selling them out along with his protégé Christine Quinn.

As stated by the NY Times: “For more than 150 years, St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan has been a beacon in Greenwich Village, serving poets, writers, artists, winos, the poor and the working-class, and gay people.” If you claim to truly love humanity, community and aspire to a greater sense of cohesiveness and less societal discord and over all well being, don't you think that just maybe the humanitarian medical treatment facility and its staff at St. Vincent's Hospital deserved to be treated with greater dignity, honor and respect than they were accorded by corrupt societal elites after 160 years of service to New Yorkers and after serving as the "epicenter of the AIDS Crisis" in NYC?

The current crop of politicians think that the way you pay back god’s children for their unwavering commitment to the treatment of our citizens is to shut them down, give them a little AIDS Memorial Park and allow predator Bill Rudin, head of Rudin Management, the man who is the front for ABNY - Association For a Better New York to takeover, capitalize on property zoned for community use so he can build luxury condos for celebrities averaging $2,000 a square foot. Yeah Bill, I am sure that the West Village is really better off with no trauma hospital on the Lower West Side. But hey good thing, Rosie O'Donnell will have an $8 Million dollar Penthouse condo where women, children and victims of the 9/11 attacks and the AIDS Epidemic came for treatment. As stated by one thoughtful citizen: “A 168 year old Chapel. Many prayed here. Titanic victims, AIDS patients and their families, 9/11 families. “The alter was snuck out, during the dark of night to a Church in New Jersey a hundred miles from St. Vincent's Hospital Luxury Apartments site. Then Bill Rudin took a wrecking ball to destroy what 4 women started that was St. Vincent's Hospital. He might not be Satan's son, [but surely] he seems to be the Anti-Christ, a true Devil.”

Identity political poseurs where is your sense of loyalty, honor and dignity? Have you no shame? You dispense with rights that the people already have inherently as citizens of this planet as if you are giving children ice cream and cookies. You then look at them as if they should be beholden to you because you have finally gotten around to deciding to no longer oppress them on privacy issues – issues and matters which are none of your f__king business, so you can go ahead an oppress them in multiple other ways. Why should they in any way be beholden to you for simply agreeing that they can love whomever they choose as long as the object of their affection is human and not a minor?
