“NYC’s Homeless Problem Is A Giant Scam!”

Wednesday, October 27th, 2021

Tying into my post on homelessness being a profit center for the Democratic Party, here’s a Louis Rossmann video that discusses a homeless shelter in New York City that:

  1. Bills the government $3,500 to $4,000 a month to
  2. House the homeless in a literal shithole (with visible feces in one picture of the place), and
  3. By an amazing coincidence, is run by a non-profit founded by Andrew Cuomo and now run by his sister Maria Cuomo Cole.

(I think that this is the news story he reads from at some point.)

“The top executives of Help USA earn $200,000 to $375,000 a year, and many of them have contributed heavily to NY Gov. Cuomo’s campaigns.”

“Board members associated with various homeless shelters have gifted the governor $322,972.50, while donors associated with Help USA, a shelter service provider founded by the governor and chaired by his sister, Maria Cuomo Cole, have ponied up $451,285 in donations.”

Thirty five hundred to four thousand dollars per month per individual for people to stay in shitholes like this. This is being done so that the people who run these charities can pay themselves insane amounts of money and get away with it. And the reason that it continues to happen is because of the incestuous relationship that exists between many of the people who run this not-for-profit, and the people that run the state and city government.

“This is an incestuous and disgusting relationship.”

He proposes a voucher system instead that, while it would be an improvement, A.) Is inferior to actually letting the free market build free housing, something New York (city and state) actively implements legislation to prevent, and B.) Would never be passed, because government homeless programs exist to transfer money from taxpayers to Democrats. That, not helping the homeless, is their primary purpose.

Evidently you can’t go a day without another John Murtha corruption story

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

Today’s Rep. John Murtha (D-ollars)-related corruption story involves outright kickbacks from Kuchera Defense Systems Inc.:

A defense contractor with ties to Rep. John Murtha has been suspended again from bidding on government contracts, this time for paying more than $200,000 in kickbacks to another contractor turned government witness.

If you look at that CREW chart I linked to yesterday, you’ll see that Kuchera Defense Systems Inc. is part of the circle of corruption (one of several circles of corruption on that chart) for the Ervin Technical Associates lobbying firm. And which Ervin would they be technical associates of? That would be Jim Ervin, who you may remember from yesterday’s post about PharmAthene, the company to which the Obama Administration (personified by Tara O’Toole, another Murtha friend) awarded a no-bid contract for anthrax vaccines. And needless to say, just about everyone associated with Kuchera Defense Systems are heavy Murtha campaign contributors. (So many backs to scratch, and so many taxpayer dollars needed to scratch them.)

Bonus: Owner Bill Kuchera is a convicted drug dealer.
