This has been posted before. Also Rush continuously brings it up as well as other talk show hosts. Another example of corruption by this regime I fear for this nation

What Obama is creating is a French style revolution by toying with these radicals because these mobs if given the facts will turn on him.

Coming on the heels of the Solyndra debacle, the Obama administration has just approved a $168.9 million loan guarantee for the Granite Reliable wind farm project owned by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM).

Among its many holdings BAM owns Brookfield Renewable Power, which owns the Granite Reliable and it also owns Brookfield Office Properties, whose holdings include the now famous Zuccotti Park.

The Department of Energy finalized the loan guarantee less than a week after Occupy Wall Street protesters took to Zuccotti Park, and with the Obama administration’s Tuesday endorsement of the protests, rumors are starting to circulate that this could be the reason Brookfield is allowing protesters to remain on its property.

So Zuchotti Park is private property. Are the ownwers not subject to the same regulations as other private property owners in NYC when it comes to sanitation, disturbing the peace, etc?

Some pigs are less subject.

No they won't. He enables them. Facts won't change anything a mob does. Well, one fact will: force.

I have to agree with you here. These people are so in the tank for Obama, nothing is going to change their minds.

But, as always, there’s more to the story.

Rumor on the streets of New York City has it that Mayor Michael Bloomberg is afraid to assert any authority over the #OccupyWallStreet “protesters” because of his “unconventional long-term relationship” with girlfriend, Diana L. Taylor.
Taylor is on the board of directors of Brookfield Office Properties, the corporation that owns Zucotti Park 1

In some circles, it’s being suggested that it is Diana Taylor, Bloomberg’s Wall Street girlfriend, who is at least one of the reasons why the mayor is taking a hands-off approach to the protesters.

In the name of “green energy,” the Obama administration is using taxpayer money to subsidize a New Hampshire wind farm that is a subsidiary of a hugely profitable company.

New Hampshire’s largest wind farm, the Granite Reliable Power project under construction in Coos County, is jointly owned by BAIF Granite Holdings, LLC and Freshnet Wind Energy, LLC. BAIF owns 75 percent of Granite Reliable. BAIF Granite Holdings was created earlier this year by Brookfield Renewable Power, which is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management of New York.

Why would a company created by a $3.2 billion company and backed by a $2.7 billion private fund need federal loan guarantees? That would be an important question at any time, but it is more pertinent after the bankruptcy of Solyndra, a solar-panel maker that got a $535 million federal loan guarantee from the Obama administration last year.

Granite Reliable’s wind farm is not proven, and Granite Reliable is a limited liability company, which provides broad investor protection if the company goes down. If the wind farm flops, and investors cut their losses, the taxpayers stand to lose $135 million. What is the justification for risking $135 million in public money, especially on a company with access to so much private cash?

He's putting his own interests before those of the City. Now there are polls out claiming that Wall Street Protest Backed by New Yorkers 3-1. They must be feeling the heat.

Oh, yeah, wonder if there is a Cuomo connection to this.

September 23, 2011 - Friday afternoon at 3:31pm

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the Department of Energy finalized a partial guarantee for $168.9 million loan to Granite Reliable Power, LLC. The loan guarantee will support a 99 megawatt (MW) wind generation project that will be New Hampshire’s largest wind farm. The project will be located in Coos County in northern New Hampshire, approximately 110 miles north of Concord. Project sponsors, BAIF Granite Holdings, LLC and Freshet Wind Energy, LLC, expect the project will fund nearly 200 construction jobs (= nearly ONE MILLION PER JOB).

To date, the Department has issued loans, loan guarantees or offered conditional commitments for loan guarantees totaling nearly $40 billion to support more than 40 clean energy projects across the United States

“Isn’t it curious that such a prosperous company would need loan guarantees from a bankrupt government? I guess not, when you realize that Joe Biden’s son is a partner in the lobbying firm Brookfield employed”

Well, isn’t THAT interesting!

Oldaker, Biden & Belair

that is the Biden name of VP Joe Biden fame and that Biden is his son..Robert Hunter Biden...

Hunter was on the board of Amtrak while Joe “Mr Amtrak” Biden was pouring money into that sucking vortex of money waste.

Brookfield Renewable Power, a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management of New York. Since 2009, Brookfield has been represented by the lobby firm Heather Podesta and Partners, LLC. Podesta, a top financial bundler for Democrat politicians, is wife of lobbyist and art collector, Tony Podesta, who is the brother of John Podesta.

http://patriotupdate.com/13238/whose-relative-just-got-135-8-million-energy-loan

Joe Biden’s son Robert Hunter Biden is a founding partner of the lobbying firm Oldaker, Biden & Belair that worked for Brookfield Properties.

http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/fir...6374&year=2003

And the kicker: Brookfield Properties is a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management. Check them out. http://www.brookfield.com/

They’re investment bankers and not just any investment banker. They’re real estate investment bankers.

my dad used to take me to New Hampshire on fishing trips and rides (what they now call "road trips," I guess).

The thought of it being annexed by leftists and peppered with useless, foreign made monuments to mankind's stupdity just makes me...really look forward to that Home Beyond the Clouds, where there ARE NO LEFTISTS.

thx for that. I just think “crony capitalism” is too nice a term for what these rank communist thugs are doing.
