COMMENT – MORE ABOUT MICHAEL BLOOMBERG – WHAT HE APPEARS ACTUALLY TO BE DOING AS A DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE AND THE DARK STUFF BEING TURNED UP ABOUT HIS PAST
With many articles now digging into his background, it is clear Bloomberg is a rather dark figure indeed, at least from the perspective of genuine liberal values.
Bloomberg’s motive as a Democratic candidate – note that he was a Republican as Mayor of New York - does appear to be the negative one of sabotaging Bernie. He is lobbying Democratic officials and donors to get behind him if Sanders can’t win enough support in the primaries for a first-ballot victory, a real possibility which automatically triggers a brokered convention.
Of course, ”lobbying” for a man of Bloomberg’s immense wealth (his net worth is said to be 65 billion dollars) likely means something more than just talking, American political parties and groups having insatiable appetites for money.
The Intercept reported that Bloomberg, as Mayor of New York, ran a large and detailed surveillance program against Muslim Americans. The Police Department’s “Demographics Unit” targeted Muslim Americans, their businesses, mosques, and restaurants, operating much like East Germany’s fabled Stasi.
Another article offered insight into Bloomberg’s attitude towards privacy and government. In 2014, he said, “We should hope the NSA is reading every e-mail.”
An alternative news source reported that Bloomberg is listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s “little black book.” His name is on page six, the article including an image of the page.
And we have a photo of Bloomberg socializing with Epstein’s companion and reputed procuress of young girls, Ghislaine Maxwell.
A Vanity Fair article last year included this from Ghislaine, “When I asked what she thought of the underage girls, she [Ghislaine] looked at me and said, ‘they’re nothing, these girls. They are trash.’”
Readers may enjoy my original comments about Bloomberg to which I had added other new observations in footnotes:
