ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHARLES BARRON VS. "HYPOCRITE" GOVERNOR ANDREW CUOMO. ONCE AGAIN MR. BARRON IS CORRECT.

CUOMO CONTINUES TO COVER UP ABOUT THE MOBSTER ON THE PAYROLL OF THE NEW YORK STATE SENATE AND HIS PROTECTOR.

THE ROBERT CATALDO/SENATOR DIANE SAVINO STORY.

      During Governor Andrew Cuomo's State of the State address yesterday, Assembly member Charles Barron (D.-Bklyn.) - with whom I've been acquainted since late in the last millennium - interrupted Mr. Cuomo's speech and, citing underfunding for the Campaign for Fiscal Equality, which assists poor African-American children (many of whom live in his East New York district), denounced the populism rhetoric-friendly governor as a "hypocrite."

      As is often case, Charles Barron is approximately 100% correct.

      Andrew Cuomo has been shooting his mouth off about political corruption in the New York State legislature, etc. for  long time. And when the corruption- investigating Moreland Commission, which he had created, started looking into some of Cuomo's pals, the governor brought political capital punishment in New York back to life and personally delivered a political lethal injection to the Commission.

      Among Andrew Cuomo's pals in the New York State Legislature is NYS Senator Diane Savino (D.-S.I./Bklyn.) Ms. Savino's Chief of Staff is Robert Cataldo. Governor Cuomo is among a host of (s)elected officials - who include NYS Senator Andrew Lanza (R.-S.).), who chairs the Senate Committee on Ethics, and a bunch of other legislators in the NYS Senate and Assembly, as well as the New York City Council - who are fully aware that Sen. Savino for years has been protecting Mr. Cataldo, the perpetrator of a frightening act of politically motivated terrorism against me (NYPD Complaint # 2006-120-8244) during my scheduled appointment with him some years ago on an urgent matter warranting Ms. Savino's immediate intervention when I was homeless. During the attack, which took place in Ms. Savino's district office at 36 Richmond Terrace, S.I., Robert Cataldo backed me up against a wall, threatened me with violence and arrest, spit at me, and repeatedly bellowed the accusation that I was having sexual relations with my (late) mother. There was no one else in the office at the time, clearly because Robert Cataldo, anticipating my arrival for the scheduled appointment, had emptied the office so that there would be no witnesses to his planned attack on me, a known political activist who, despite my homelessness, was already a Democratic write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate against the human rights-aversive anti-poor, Wall Street favorite Senator Hillary ("The Pillory") Clinton.

   The Mob typically commits its crimes without witnesses.

   And so when several months ago Mendy Mirocznik, a leader of the otherwise corruption-riddled Hillary Clinton/Christine Quinn-controlled Staten Island Democratic Party - who is also the very influential President of the Council of Jewish Organization of Staten Island (COJOSI), which includes such human rights leaders as Rabbi Gerald and Boni Sussman of Temple Emanu-el of Staten Island as members - told me that Robert Cataldo had committed a similar crime against another victim and added the words, "Robert Cataldo is a member of the Sicilian Mob", I was not surprised.

  Mr. Mirocznik has a lot more political backbone than some of the political professional Pharisee-style Jewish Democratic Party machine hacks like NYS Senate wannabe Gary Carsel and Roy Moskowitz, a paid staffer for Assembly member Matthew ("No Saint")Titone (a close buddy of the legendarily corrupt ex-NYS Assembly Speaker the convicted Sheldon Silver). Mr. Mirocznik and I have since discussed this matter on several occasions and, while he is not anticipating any face-to-face meetings with the psychopathic thug Robert Cataldo, is cool with me reporting him as the source for information about the mobster Robert Cataldo.

  It was at a very well attended Council of Jewish Organizations of Staten Island bagels and lox-saturated legislative breakfast a couple of years ago - which my UP FRONT News associate, an honest "Andrew", i.e. business executive/economist/educator Andrew Mazzone also attended - that I met Paul Duffy, who handles Governor Cuomo's affairs in Staten Island. 

  Thanks to people like Diane Savino, Matthew Titone, anti-Semitism-linked Democratic Party Machine puppet Christine Quinn pal NYC Council member Debi Rose, Gary Carsel, Roy Moskowitz, St. Philips (no apostrophe) Baptist Church of S.I. Deacon John McBeth, and the multibillionaire Donald Newhouse-owned Staten Island Advance (aka in UP FRONT News as "The Staten Island Retreat), which has been covering up political corruption in S.I for decades), et. al. Staten Island is arguably the most politically corrupt borough in New York City, and, as Richmond County, the most politically corrupt of all of New york States's 62 counties. (I've lived in all five boroughs, and also in Binghamton (Broome County) and worked in economically and racially segregated Westchester County, "home" to lots of poor and homeless people and also to aristocrats such as Hillary and Bill Clinton.

  I chatted briefly with Cuomo aide Mr. Duffy, who, at my request, gave me his business card. Because of considerable news coverage of me over the years in The NY Times, Newsday (front page), the Daily News, the NY Post, the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin and some "alternative" and college (College of S.I., Queens College, Binghamton University, Fordham University, Columbia University) print  and broadcast media, as well as a front page article about my campaign for the Senate against Hillary, very belatedly and very reluctantly published in the August 21, 2006 edition of the Staten Island Advance under the headline, "With the stroke of a pencil vote for anyone", Paul Duffy already knew about me - as, to their chagrin, have Bill and Hillary for many years.

  I have sent several emails to Gov. Cuomo via Paul Duffy reporting the fact that there is an identified mobster named Robert Cataldo - who, based on his behavior with me, is at least episodically psychotic - on the New York State payroll in a very high position. (I am a retired professional social worker, with much experience in mental health settings and I know a nutcase when I encounter one.)  I also made the Governor Cuomo aware that Robert Cataldo is being protected by Diane Savino. There has been no reply. 

  Some months ago I joined the often outspoken NYC Council member Laurie Cumbo (D.-Bklyn.), with whom I've been acquainted since she ran for the Council in 2013, on a bus ride to Cuomo's hometown of Mount Kisco in Westchester - not too far from the Clintons' presumably "affordable" estate in Chappaqua -, for a demonstration in support of pardon/clemency for truly rehabilitated prisoners. Mr. Cuomo was represented by his Counsel, Alphonso B. David. I had a few face-to-face minutes with Mr. David and I told him about the unrehabilitated mobster Robert Cataldo and his principal protector, Diane Savino. Mr. David gave me his business card.

   Alphonse B. David also has my email to the Governor. No reply.

   Because Robert Cataldo and Diane Savino have majorly violated my Constitutionally guaranteed civil rights it has been necessary for me to submit a formal complaint against them to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). That complaint was sent to then DOJ U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District (which includes Staten Island) Loretta Lynch, at the request of her assistant Michelle Johnson. The FBI is always interested in the Mafia. My emails have gone to the FBI's Washington D.C. and New York offices.

    U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara recently let the governor off the hook regarding Mr. Cuomo's very premature decision to murder the Moreland Commission. That Commission needs to be resurrected.

    In the meantime, Mr. Cuomo's silence about reported Mafioso Robert Cataldo and his protector Diane Savino must end. Silence is hypocrisy.

PROTECTION RACKET IN THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL - COVERED UP BY THE MEDIA. GROUND ZERO: STATEN ISLAND. THE PERPS - NYS SENATOR DIANE SAVINO/ROBERT CATALDO, NYC COUNCIL MEMBER DEBI ROSE/DAVID JONES

   A terrorist is defined as a person who uses threats and/or intimidation and/or physical attacks against another person or persons.
   As far as I am aware, "terrorist" Robert Cataldo, the "perp" in NYPD Complaint # 2006-120-8244 made by me, with the assistance of an honest police officer, Sgt. Det. Al Fiore, is still ripping off taxpayer dollars drawing an obscenely extravagant salary as the Chief of Staff to New York State Senator Diane Savino (D.-S.I./Bklyn.)
 The details of the frightening attack on me perpetrated against me by an overtly psychotic Robert Cataldo some years ago at my scheduled appointment with him on an urgent matter warranting Senator Savino's immediate intervention when I was homeless are known to probably thousands of UP FRONT News readers. They include a slew of (s)elected officials, such as NYS Senator Andrew Lanza (R.-S.I. and head of the Senate Committee on Ethics); NYS Assembly member Nicole Malliotakis (R.-S.I./Bklyn), who made the serious political mistake of allowing her name to appear with the toxic name of criminal Cataldo on an email about a community event; NYS Assembly members Staten Island raised Donna Lupardo (D.-Binghamton); Charles Barron (D.-Bklyn.) and Michael Cusick;and NYC Council members Alan Maisel (D.-Bklyn.), Laurie Cumbo (D.-Bklyn.) and Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito (D.-Manh.); and NYS Senators Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) and Tony Avella (D-.Queens), among others.
  Among the community leaders fully aware of the facts of Robert Cataldo's status as a de facto "terrorist" are Diane Savino's close pal Rev. Dr. Tony Baker of St. Philips (no apostrophe) Baptist Church in S.I.; Rabbi Gerald Sussman of Temple Emanu-el, S.I., a few blocks south of St. Philips in Port Richmond, S.I.; Rev. Dr. Demetrius S. Carolina, Sr. and Rev. Daryl D. Moore of the First Central Baptist Church in S.I.; St. Philips Deacon John ("'Praise the Lord' but remain silent about the corruption") McBeth, who is also a member of the largely African-American Staten Island Political Action Club (SIPAC); Sheree Goode, Interim SIPAC leader; a number of the religious leaders comprising the interfaith coalition called "Building Bridges" of S.I.; Staten Island Democratic Association (SIDA) officials such as New York State Senate serial wannabe Gary Carsel and professional "liberal" government (works for Assemblyman puppet Matthew Titone) bureaucrat Roy Moskowitz; Ed Josey, the President of the Staten Island branch of the NAACP, which sometimes functions as a branch of the probably incurably corrupt and largely Hillary Clinton-connected Staten Island Democratic Party Machine; and the Staten Island Chapter of the New York Urban League.
   Because Robert Cataldo - who was fully aware that, despite the fact of my homelessness, I was a Democratic write-in candidate for the U.S. Senate against China Lobby-friendly and Tibet-ignoring Senator Hillary Clinton - in anticipation of my scheduled arrival for my appointment with him, took care to empty Ms. Savino's district office of all other staff. He did not want any witnesses. That is Mob Stuff!
  And so when, some months ago Democratic Party leader Mendy Mirocznik, who is also the respected President of the Council of Jewish Organizations of Staten Island (COJOSI), took me aside at a cultural event at the Jewish Community Council of S.I. to tell me privately that Robert Cataldo had committed a similar crime against another victim and added the words that "Robert Cataldo is a member of the Sicilian Mob", I was not surprised. Mr. Mirocznik - who was unfortunately defeated by the Mob-friendly hack and serial (harassments against me) offender and "Deacon" John McBeth pal John Mancuso in a NYC Council Democratic primary in 2012 - is not an impulsive man. Mr. Mirocznik knew that, in "outing" a mobster, he was speaking to a well-known political activist and journalist. He also knew (and knows) that, unlike the multibillionaire Donald Newhouse-owned Staten Island Advance - arguably New York's most politically corrupt newspaper, which has been pleasing the local mobsters and covering up political corruption in S.I. for decades - as the publisher of UP FRONT News I fully exercise my First Amendment rights and print the truth. Mr. Mirocznik did not request anonymity as the source of the Senator Diane
DistrictSavino/Robert Cataldo/Mob connection.
  All the necessary law enforcement agencies, including the office of the Staten Island District Attorney, the NYPD Police Commissioner, the U.S. Department of Justice (Loretta Lynch) and the FBI have the facts - from me..
  Robert Cataldo is a very dangerous psychopathic lunatic and belongs in jail or in a facility for the criminally insane. As a de facto "terrorist", he might be better off on an Island other than Staten Island; perhaps the island of Cuba, which still has accommodations at Guantanamo.
   I am one of a number of people experiencing voter remorse - a result of my having voted for Debi Rose in the 2009 election for the New York City Council.
The first solid warning to me that Debi Rose is a political phony came during my conversation with then NYC Council member Charles Barron, who is now a member of the NYS Assembly (D.-Bklyn.) Although during my conversation with Mr. Barron at the 2010 convention of the NYS Freedom Party, Mr. Barron did not use the word "phony" to describe Debi Rose, what he did say to me was that it would be unwise for me to accept as truthful any rhetoric by Ms. Rose suggesting that she is independent of the Democratic Party machine. Mr. Barron was approximately 100% correct. The Freedom Party selected Mr. Barron as its candidate for governor in 2010; I endorsed him in UP FRONT News and did some media work in his campaign. Mr. Barron is a solid antidote to the fake "leftists" of the Lyndon LaRouche-ite extremist-tainted Green Party, which, with its Nader/Nadir, intentionally helped the Cheney/Bush ticket steal the 2000 election.
   Debi Rose has for years willfully butchered all constituent matters that I have brought to her attention, including serious violations of my rights at several NYC-contracted senior citizens centers. Debi Rose has been shooting her mouth off about the police killing of Eric Garner. She has, however, remained stone silent the several violations of my civil rights by police officers at that same 120th precinct. And, as far as I am aware I am the only journalist to report information that police office Daniel Pantaleo, the guy (probably, like Robert Cataldo, a psychopath), who literally lynched Eric Garner, lied to the grand jury. Debi Rose's silence on that matter involves her directly in the massive political coverup of the murder in Tompkinsville, Staten Island.
  Debi Rose's 2009 campaign manager and closest political advisor was (is?) David Jones. There are reasons why David Jones is known throughout the Jewish community, at least in Staten Island, as "The Israel basher." As a honcho in the deceptively named grouplet calling itself Peace Action of Staten Island (PASI) David Jones has consistently blamed Israel for just about everything except presumably some of the car accidents on Hylan Blvd and the extortionist tolls on the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Ms. Rose is fully aware that David Jones has threatened me on multiple occasions with physical violence and that at a candidates forum in the south parking lot of First Central Baptist Church in S.I. some years ago he went berserk and tried to assault me as he was bellowing accusations that I was having sexual relations with my late mother.
  David Jones is also under indictment for grand larceny in connection with his financial shenanigan during Ms. Rose's 2009 campaign for the City Council.
  Among those who are aware that Debi Rose is profoundly negligent in the constituent service responsibilities for which he is being (over)paid and that, in her continued protection of the inescapably anti-Semitic David Jones she may well herself be an anti-Semite (no matter how often she tries to sweet-talk the sometime sweet-talk-susceptible Rabbi Sussman).
   I don't usually bother calling the Staten Island Advance (aka "The Staten Island Retreat"). Calling the Staten Island Advance - which pays Tom ("Wrongleski")Wrobleski and Rachel Shapiro to be what are in fact the two worst political reporters in America to lie to the public - is the equivalent of a Jew in 1939 Nazi Germany calling Josef Goebbels's Volkischer Beobachter to expose Nazi persecution of even one Jew. 
   Newsday, which has done some good reporting on me over the years, the Daily News, and the NY Post have the facts.
   Most of the corruption-related reporting on the New York State Legislature and the New York City Council focuses on the other four boroughs.
   It is not surprising that Staten Island,  the borough with the most corrupt mainstream newspaper in New York is the most politically corrupt borough in New York City.
