Bernie Madoff's Son kills himself Mercer St. -- early this am I wrote CB2 accusing the of economic apartheid Soho between the have's and have not's and reminded them how many rich lost everything...how haunting to wake-up and find out this news underscoring my point.
Bernie Madoff and his wife are awful people and awful parents. This is horrible news and he should not have killed himself and to do so with his child in the apt. was also wrong. Very disturbing news but a lot goes on in Soho above the radar until dead bodies start showing up.
Maddoff family prayed at the alter of wealth. They suckered people and had them buy in to their fake phony charade and all their wealth stolen or gotten perhaps even
"not stolen" has done nothing for them. Being so wealthy and above the law and scrutiny certainly did not help. I read in Page 6 that when SEC investigators came to Madoff they ended up handing him resumes. Too bad people are mesmerized by money or the illusion of it...the greed and corruption of it hidden like a toxic waste dump hidden in glittery jewels but all people including the authorities respond to is the glitter.
Anyone following my blog knows I have been reporting on the manager of The Mercer Hotel calling the NYPD on the Veteran and Vendor artists hoping to get them ticketed or arrested over any little infraction and yet the Mercer breaks the law using their "loading and unloading zone for the hotel" as private parking with valet service. The doormen get tips and they also act like thugs -- just one example -- approaching me out on Prince St. and ordering me to stop filming him. I have news for the rocket scientist...if he is at the door where he is suppose to be on Mercer St. maybe I wouldn't be filming him but I have gotten a lot of disturbing reports of goings on including the Vets feeling like they are enduring at work place harassment by people that work at the hotel with one goal and that is to have them swept off the streets of Soho like trash.
Soho/W. Village was created by artists that did not have money. Some still live there and have made money but are soulless wonders who married rich and used their rich spouse to get $ and than dumped them. Need I say more?
Anyway I wrote Community Board 2 this morning at the crack of dawn - actually before dawn and noted I got a letter in response to my concern from the Manhattan Borough commissioner that the loading and unloading sign outside the Mercer was unaccounted for which translates in to stolen. There is more to this story but I won't share anymore details.
There is more and I just expressed my anger at how the rich white people of Soho including CB2 use the NYPD to do their bidding and are above the law. I also pointed out that any of them (the ruling class) could lose all their money as most recently experienced and I was referring to the Wall St. Implosion, Mortgage meltdown and Bernie Madoff.
How haunting to wake-up and later find out Madoff's son had killed himself and not far from from the symbol for me of arrogance and being above the law-- the Mercer Hotel for how they have called the NYPD over and over yet are confident the NYPD will never ticket them and their clients for parking in the loading and loading and let me say this "etc.".
I would also like to point out the arrogant rich ruling class is above the law and do what ever they want abusing alcohol, drugs, etc and are above the radar until there is a dead body as in the recent tragedy of this young swim suit designer. There is more to this story than meets the eyes. Her parents are in denial about one thing and that is what she put in her body.
Soho House is part of the elitist arrogant ruling class that even bends it's price for "youth" if you can believe it. (Gee, I wonder why they do that?)
You don't help the Charlie Sheens of this world by letting them live above the law. It is amazing that Sheen is still alive and also that he and other celebrities like him have not killed someone including driving drunk or high like a (racist, anti-semitic) Mel Gibson to name just one of many.
I do understand Sylvie Cachay dating a bad guy because NYC has very, very few good guys and they are all or mostly married. I understand her trying to fix a guy or seeing a ray of goodness in his darkened twisted soul....so many women do.
Tina Negron was a beautiful soul who helped her handicapped mother. She was murdered in the East Village in the Key Foods supermarket where she worked and she and a brave friend fought off her machete knife wielding ex-boyfriend but Tina would not live. Tina dated this guy and he was clearly mentally ill and beyond any kind of healing and breaking up with him like so many women meant a death sentence.
To me Tina's life counts as much or even more because she lacks the wealth and privileges of Sylvie. Tina had written a powerful poem and she did not have Sylvie's wealth upbringing so she is all ready forgotten. Most of us me included can't begin to imagine the privileges, wealth and perks of Sylvie Cachay but in the long run they worked against her.
Tina Negron's poem
“I see souls being lost because young brothers and sisters don’t know how to act,”
“I see the whole world coming to an end. I see me dying, but me fighting, on what’s on my mind, is trying to be, and that is really a message to you.”
“I see souls being lost because young brothers and sisters don’t know how to act,”
“I see the whole world coming to an end. I see me dying, but me fighting, on what’s on my mind, is trying to be, and that is really a message to you.”
I do give the NYPD highest praise in these two cases and any cases where they catch the monsters who murder women and in this case I should say "alleged".
Now Sylvie joins Tina Negron and so many women in NYC that died death by a violent man...welcome to Misogynist NYC but Sylvie's death all exposes the wealthy elitist ruling class above the law, above the radar until someone ends up dead.
