Occupy NY: Who is Brookfield Properties ?

Do you know the name of the park that the Wall Street protesters were occupying - it's Zuccotti Park.  The New York Times on October 13, 2011 investigated and published a report that helps your reporter better understand the occupy movement and the efforts to effect 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 $70 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 members 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.

On a completely unrelated note, Wisconsin is shaping up to be one of the important swing states in the 2012 presidential election, quess who owns the company that will be tabulating the electonic votes in Wisconsin ?   Thats right, the biggest contributer to Obama, the puppeteer George Soros.
What a coincidence.  Remember what Joseph Stalin said:  "It's not the people who count.  It's the people who count the votes."  

Remember this when November gets here.
