What a bunch of
crooks we have running this country!
The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings
that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer
needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and
cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.
A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the
exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to
a man named Richard Blum.
Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein. (Most voters and many
of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection
between the two because they have different last names).
Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (est at between $950
million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6%
commission on each and every sale.
All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were
purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars. The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear,
tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep
the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal
Service doesn't even have to pay country property taxes on these subject
properties.
Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay
the electric bill?
Well, the the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it!
Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S,
an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10
years!
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of
interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of hundreds of
billions of dollar's worth of public assets.
How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing
and lobbying such a sweet deal? Is our government become so elitist that they have
no fear of oversight?
And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have
different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type
of transactions.
Pass this info on before it's pulled from the internet.
