Doug Biviano


You Have to Give Errol Louis and NY1 Credit for Journalist Principals 
In Defense of Louis and NY1
The Thrilla in Manilla (Brooklyn) NY1 debate last night was not a love fest between the host and the anti-lobbyists candidate Doug Biviano, but at least the station and host saw it as their journalists obligation to put the controversial candidate on news program. And that was not hard for the station that gives lobbyists and consultants free air time on a news program to help their clients and get new ones.  While the buzz last night was all about how the host threaten to cut the mike and end the debate with the very first question to assembly candidate Doug Biviano.  * Liu’s campaign sent a complaint to the state Board of Elections claiming the IDC Initiative violated state spending limits by sending thousands of glossy mailings to voters in recent days urging them to support state Sen. Tony Avella in September, the Daily News reports: http://goo.gl/RmiW4N

NY1's Inside City Hall let the real information that came out that effect the  voters of the 52AD and the rest of the city was the unchecked role of illegal PAC and campaign loop holes that seem to drive every campaign run by the WFP. Data and Field in 2009 and NYCLASS PAC in the mayor's race. Until that debate community groups have not held one debate and the local media has not covered the race.  A news desert in the most educated district in Brooklyn about who will lead them in the Assembly.  A district that does not want its LICH Hospital to close or it Library or to allow building in the Brooklyn Bridge Park. Until the NY1 debate the 52AD had to rely on fake campaign mailing done by the same lobbyists who tried to fool them on their ER protection. The rest of the media and even the community leaders have block the voters of the Biviano district from leading the truth of the take over of their community by a new Tammany Hall made up of lobbyists and the special interests they work for.  This new machine unlike the old does not server the people but uses the voters to make money by pushing developments against their interests.*  NY1 and Their Corrupt Lobbyists Wise Guys

WFP Has Tuned Campaign Funding Into Anything Goes and Fake Campaign Mailings into An Art
NY1 allowed Biviano to changed WFP candidate Peter Sikora with Illegally coordinating the mayor's One NY PAC money with his campaign money. The PAC mailing told the community that the emergency room being built by the developer of luxury housing on the site of the closed LICH Hospital with meeting the communities health care needs. Doctors and community leaders have said the mailing are a total lie.  While NY1 allowed those charges to be aired over 100 other journalist in the city have opened Biviano's press releases with contained the illegal PAC charges and said nothing. Lobbyists Berlin Rosen Takes Over NYC Government


While NY1 Put Anti-Lobbyists Biviano On the Rest of Main Stream Media Has Remained Silent
The 100 Shameful NYC Journalists
We are left with candidate Sikora answer of the illegal coordination if the One NY PAC and his campaign are wild charges that are not true. Sikora his WFP backer know that nobody will stop or report about their illegal funding during the campaign.  The 100 Silent Journalist prove them true.  It was the CFB that fined the two council candidates months after the campaign. that used the Advance Group as their campaign manage and received funding from the PAC controlled by Advance NYCLASS. The CFB does not regulate state races. Besides the media not acting on Illegal PAC money in local races the DAs and AG have not said a word either.  

 The Changing Economic Has Forced the News Media to Abandoned Its Constitutional Role on Informing the Voters to Addicted to Lobbyists and Special Interests to Keep Publishing
Berlin Rosen who represents the mayor's PAC with sent out the misleading ER mailing and is Sikora's campaign manager also is a consultant to the AG, the Brooklyn District Attorney, Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio. Berlin Rosen also represents many of the developers like Two Trees that place ads in newspapers. Today was the first time the Brooklyn Daily Eagle who broke the dark money LICH mailing  wrote about the Biviano campaign

NYT's + Media's Blind Side The NYT has written several times on the national impact of Citizens United but never on the impact of that  special interests big money supreme court decision on the 2013 NYC election. The press is focused on  a preacher and 4-year-olds, while not reporting on how our city government was mugged by special interests Citizen United PACs and the lobbyists political consultants who do their bidding in the last election.

State Senate candidate Liu in fund-raising high jinks(NYP) Scandal-scarred state Senate hopeful John Liu will take money from just about anyone. The former city comptroller and failed mayoral candidate, who faces a bruising Democratic primary battle Tuesday against Queens incumbent Tony Avella, has raked in $706,190 — but some of it is from shady sources. He accepted a donation from a group linked to Chinese organized crime, campaign filings show. And a nonprofit, the Fukien Benevolent Association, held a prohibited fund-raiser for Liu in June that raked in a reported $15,000. Liu’s campaign also received donations from two other tax-exempt groups, which are not allowed to make political contributions.


A Citizen Who Runs Against Developers, Lobbyists, and Political Bosses Finds Himself Removed By the New King of NYC 

Doug Biviano a candidate for assembly in Brooklyn's 52nd who is running on a platform against developers, lobbyists and political bosses finds himself according the the media as the man who never existed.  Both the Daily Newand the NY Times did not list name in their endorsement.  NY1 tried to keep him out of their debate After Being Dissed by Errol Louis, Biviano Wins First Fight;Forces Invite to NY 1 52nd AD Debate (Brooklyn Heights Blog) Both the NY Post and Daily News interview Biviano in which he described to them his charges against lobbyist Berlin Rosen used illegal PAC money controlled by the mayor in the race to turn around the negatives of their candidate in the race over the closing of LICH Hospital. Cover-Up of Members' Dark Money LICH Mailing  Biviano forced silence by the media is a lot like the way King George treated the New York Colonest who talk about against the king who were removed from their homes and placed on British ships in the New York harbor.

The Media Has Become the Guard Dogs of the Real Estate Establishment
Biviano's message is the following: I am sickened how voters have lost control over the governing decisions in their own community that are closing LICH hospital, tearing down our library for luxury housing and Building Condos in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Control of our neighborhoods has been taken over by a Private Tammany Hall made up of lobbyists-campaign consultants and special interests who are not interested in serving the public but instead make money by tearing down our vital  institutions that save our lives, educate us and give us enjoyment. Even the nurses who worked the hardest to keep LICH Hospital open were doubled crossed by its own union who endorsed de Blasio's candidate in the race. The union is represented by Berlin Rosen. More About Berlin Rosen * Lobbyists Berlin Rosen Takes Over NYC Government

STEALING AN ELECTION 1982, 2014

32 years after Sydney Schanberg wrote in the Times about the Brooklyn Democratic Party's failed attempt to steal a congressional election it has become much easier to do. The attempt in 1982 was against the late Congressman Major Owens a man who entire career was to fight racism, economically unfair system and education equality.  Owens was reformer who battled the political power brokers, always opposing the machine controlled Brooklyn Democratic Party as much as he fought against the GOP in congress.  In 1982 Major Owens' opponent team created fraud at the Board of Election after he lost the primary by over 3000 votes.  They were creating fraud by forging signatures on the old voter-registration cards they were supposedly checking. Today's election stealing has more to do with big money, illegal PAC mailers and the break down of an objective press.  

Where a Brooklyn hack judge accepted Owens' opponent Vander L. Beatty teams forging and ordered a new election the NY Times and the Village Voice wrote about the fraud the machine judge was trying to pull off.  Today there is no real Village Voice and the NY Times and Daily News did not even list the name of a candidate Doug Biviano who like Congressman Owens is running against the against the system. Over 100 reporters read Biviano's charges that the mayor's PAC illegally mailed into the 52AD to help his opponent Sikora.  Not one of the reporters wrote anything about the Biviano charges or about the role Sikora's campaign mangers Berlin Rosen and the PAC spokesman Berlin Rosen played in a mailing that according to doctors misled the same community that Silora is running in about the level of protection the developers of luxury would provide in the ER they were building to replace the hospital. 

The Press Does Not Challenge A Reformer

Accepting the Support of A Political Boss
Sikora answer to Biviano's ER inadequacy charges were that they were wild accusations.  Not one report took him on.  In fact Nick Powell from City and State cut Biviano off when he was trying to ask Sikora if he thought the doctors who said the developers ER was inadequate.  The NYP and Daily News interviewed Biviano and never wrote a word. When word of Beatty's challenge to Owens got around before the internet, dozens of people from all over the city joined the effort the fight back the hack challenge to Owens.  Today interest groups like Save LICH Hospital, Defending the Libraries and groups opposing the building in the park or Atlantic Yards did nothing to inform their members about the interconnections between Berlin Rosen and the closing of LICH hospital and Forest City Ratner and Berlin Rosen in the closing of library that the Biviano campaign were pointing out to the voters.  Owens work his whole life to educate the voter about the corrupt political system.  Today's reformer and interest groups care more more about being connected to elected officials then educating the voters to help reform the system and more importantly who stands behind them.  How else could you explain the Brooklyn machines is supporting the same candidate as those that call themselves reformers. Jo Anne Simon supporter Brooklyn Boss Frank Seddio Law Partner Carone  represented Carl McCall and SUNY in the closing of LICH Hospital.  Yet Simon says in her campaign mailers that she is fighting to save the hospital.  Seddio made money on a deal that convicted state senator Carl Kruger was sent to jail for after taking bribes from a developer. Now Simon got his  partner involved in the negotiaton to stop the building in Brooklyn Bridge Park - Like putting the fox in the hen house  The Democratic County Organization, Norman Rosen, and the Politics of the 1989 D.A. Race * Al Sharpton’s Past Ties to Vote Fraud Taint His Fulminating *This Brave Congressman Taught Me How to Break News * Jim Sleeper: Treat, or Trick?

A Dark Money PAC Mail Berlin Rosen  Media Cover-Up

Daily News Leaves Out the Fact That Candidate Biviano Charged That the WFP Used the Mayor's One New York PAC Illegally to Help Sikora in the 52AD
A review of state campaign filings shows the Working Families Party has disclosed nothing about what it’s spending on Peter Sikora, an economist running against Jo Anne Simon, a lawyer, in the Democratic primary. The WFP’s Peter Sikora, an economist, and Jo Anne Simon, an attorney, are tangling in the September Democratic primary for the slot being vacated by Joan Millman. A review of state campaign filings shows the party has disclosed nothing about what it’s spent on Sikora.* Democratic candidates spar on NY1 in Brooklyn Assembly district debate. (NY1)

A Candidate for the 52AD Not Mentioned in the Daily News Article Doug Biviano, Charged That the WFP Candidate and His Consultant Berlin Rosen Was Using Illegal PAC Money 3 Weeks Ago
Berlin Rosen who works for Sikora and the PAC One NY which he use to send out to the voters of the district what the Brooklyn Eagle called a dark money mailing, claiming the closed LICH hospital developer would build an emergency room that would meet the community’s health care needs.  Doctors and community leader have called that claim an outright lie. 



Biviano chaged that Sikora and his campaign consultant Berlin Rosen are coverinMitzi Carroll walking with Doug Biviano at LICHg-up the promise that he, the mayor and other local elected officials made during the 2013 campaign to keep LICH a full service hospital. In 2013, Sikora worked with his and de Blasio’s campaign consultant Jonathan Rosen (of Berlin Rosen) to gain votes by having the mayor arrested as part of a protest demand to keep LICH a full service hospital. Many of the voters in the 52AD resent Sikora because of his connection to the de Blasio arrest. The dark money PAC mailing in July was intended to repair both the mayor's and Sikora's image in the assembly district.  Both the Daily News and the Brooklyn Heights Blog reported that Sikora was arrested with the mayor. As former mayoral candidate Sal Albanese put it, team de Blasio used the shut hospital as an election prop in the mayoral campaign.



How Campaign Are Controlled and Elect People Who Don't Represent the  People in the District

A Case Study In the Dysfunctional Campaign System That the Main Stream Media Never Covers. But A Blogger Has 
 "Everyone understands that our campaign system is dysfunctional and that big special interests drive it, but everyone expects the media to be the equalizer, exposing the truth when it comes to campaign flyers full of lies and fake promises intended to get candidates elected.  My campaign against the special interests and broken campaign system is not well funded.  When NY1 blocked me from appearing they were cutting off one of the few chances I have to communicate with the voters of my district.  And NY1 is not the only member of the media not covering me.  Both the Brooklyn Paper and Brooklyn Daily Eagle have not done a story about me or the campaign.  The media's role is to inform voters about the real intentions of candidates.  Apparently the media does not see themselves in the role John Peter Zenger, Thomas Pain and Thomas Jefferson saw, as educators of the public." decried Biviano.


Hero's Died Giving Us the Rights to Control Our Government . . . Those Rights Are Being Taken Away By Lobbyists and Special Interests That Have Taken Over Our Election System

Biviano at the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument in Fort Green Park Where 12,000 Courageous American Who Spoke Out Against the King are Buried 

When you have over 60% of the voters not know who the AG is, not know what the Moreland commission is, an the loss of Speaker Quinn after she was endorsed by all three paper shows that the people of New York are not enlightened.  Election and no long a contest of what is best for the community but who has the most money to send out mailers prepared by spin doctors who know how to fool the voters with mailers and TV Ads.  These spin doctors are mostly lobbyists making up a new  private Tammany Hall that functions very different from the old political boss led Tammany Hall.  The old Tammany gain voters and power by delivering services and protecting the poor.  The new private Tammany spends money to hire spin doctors to elect candidates to gain power to make money from government, often hurting the same voters who elected their puppet candidates, by closing their libraries and hospitals. The lobbyists new private Tammany Hall is really a system that legalized and replaced bribery.



de Blasio Slush Fund 1NY Update . . .  Where the $$ Comes From . . . BHA Debunks Letter About Saving the Hospital and NYT Spins More Crap to Protect Mayor






Does the NYT Think Than An Emergency Room That Does Not Even Treat Heart Attacks is A de Blasio Achievement?

Installation cost the city plenty, but there’s no monitoring





When residents of several public housing complexes learned three years ago that new closed circuit cameras would be installed in their lobbies and elevators, they were optimistic that safety in their buildings would greatly improve.
Three years later, however, residents of one complex say that the New York City Housing Authority has so badly mismanaged the project that they feel no safer now than they did before the cameras were installed.

Moore Houses on East 149th St. near St. Mary’s Park was one of five local complexes that received the cameras, electronic keys and mechanical door locks as part of an initiative to take a bite out of crime, thanks to a $3.2 million allocation from City Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo in 2011.
But residents contend that NYCHA has never assigned anyone to watch a bank of monitors that the cameras’  images are transmitted to, on the ground floor of one of Moore’s four residential buildings. When they have complained to housing officials that the expensive cameras are going to waste, they say the agency has told them it lacks the manpower to oversee the project.
Residents have urged NYCHA to allow tenants themselves to oversee the monitors, but housing officials have declined.
