Did you know the name of the park that the Wall Street protesters were occupying - it's Zuccotti Park. The New York Times has investigated and published a report that helps better understand the occupy movement and the efforts they make to affect the November 2012 presidential election.
Did you know that the park is not owned by the City of New York ? It is owned by Brookfield Properties. Did you know that Brookfield Asset Management received an Obama Department of Energy loan guarantee of over $160 million dollars within 10 days of approving the takeover of the park ? Brookfield Properties is a Canadian company with assets, according to their own website, of $170 billion. Knowing that - it begs the question - why is the US taxpayer quaranteeing a loan to a very wealthy Canadian company ?
Here are some interesting facts: One of Brookfield Properties attorneys is Vice-Presdient Joe Biden's son. One of the Brookfield Board of Directors is Mayor Bloomfield's live in girlfriend. And, did you know that Brookfield Properties received some of the distributions from the last Obama Stimulus dollars.
Remember this - when November gets here.
