>>>I don’t get the MLM/”Magic” reference. ?

It was a company that made ONE article on FR shortly after the WTC was hit. Don’t worry, the Rudy bunch know what I’m referencing.

LOL. Yep! Sometimes I can navigate through those foreign websites--no chance with Dynacity.com. Speaking of Dynacity... Rudy sure can pick em!

Real estate firm concealed 600 million yen
The Daily Yomiuri. Tokyo: May 22, 2007. pg. 1

The Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau has determined that about 600 million yen in commissions the real estate company Dynacity Corp., of Minato Ward, Tokyo, claimed to have paid for buying land for building apartment buildings was paid to nonexistent recipients, sources said Monday.

Including the unaccounted for money, Dynacity, which is listed on Jasdaq Securities Exchange, concealed more than 700 million yen in income over five business years to March 2005, the sources said.

Companies found to have concealed spending are asked to pay corporate taxes and penalties.

Dynacity said it had paid about 824 million yen in corporate taxes in April after revising its financial report, but stopped short of mentioning whether it had paid taxes for concealed spending.

According to the sources, Dynacity paid brokers commissions for land lots it had bought from them to build apartment buildings. But tax officials found there were cases in which purchases had not been brokered by real estate agents.

The fake commissions were returned to the 44-year-old former president of the company, but the names of recipients were not recorded in the books, the sources said.

Dynacity also did not reveal the commissions to tax officers when they went through the company's books, the sources said.

According to a former executive, the president and executives used the money for wining and dining, and for obtaining information on real estate properties.

Via MLM or Affiliate program models. That associations are very often masked through branding. Then, the top level company goes, it brings the rest with them. Remember the DOT Com bust? The crash was as large as it was because many of the businesses were affiliates of one main business.

Maceo-Fertitta Crime Family, Galveston, etc. Too much to post. Argent (IMO), mentioned above, is most likely Argent Corporation (A.R. Glick Enterprises), the company of long-time mafia front man Allen Glick.

WOW. I just read Casino, the book on which the movie was based. Fertitta was implicated in the casino skimming operation that was described in the book/movie. Now Giuliani is taking money from these folks?

If you look at industry sectors that donate to each candidate, the casino sector is overwhelmingly giving to Giuliani. Here's some more info on this (scroll down to Friday, March 25, 2005, titled THE Z-FILES - PART II): http://fightsport.com/fightsport/news/2005_03_20_fightsport_archive.html

The head of Dynacity's parent company also sent to jail:

Investors welcome Horie sentence
The Daily Yomiuri. Tokyo: Mar 17, 2007. pg. 1

EXCERPT

Friday's ruling by the Tokyo District Court that saw Takafumi Horie sentenced to 2-1/2 years in prison was welcomed by Livedoor Co. shareholders who have filed a damages suit against him and other executives.

Damages sought in the lawsuits against Livedoor likely will reach about 60 billion yen, as Fuji Television Network, Inc., which was once a business partner with Livedoor, also plans to seek compensation of about 34.5 billion yen.

Livedoor's market capitalization peaked in January 2004 at more than 900 billion yen, but after the scandal came to light, it started to drop. In April 2006, the stock was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Mothers market.

Livedoor Finance Co., which played a major part in Livedoor group's falsification of financial reports, is to be dissolved at the end of this month. Other major subsidiaries, including real estate company Dynacity Corp., also have been sold.

"A prison sentence was inevitable," said a former executive of Livedoor Marketing Co. ... [they "cooked the books for companies that were running at a loss and made it look like they were making profits. Plus, he made a massive amount of personal profit."

Giuliani at Nascar this past weekend:
Giuliani likened the pursuit of energy independence and the development of alternative energy sources to the race to put a man on the moon several decades ago. "Now it's a matter truly of national security," Giuliani said. "We have to pursue all of those alternatives that exist."
All of them, Rudy? Or just those you are invested in through a web of international funds?

Japanese Fund
27 November 2006, Wind Power Monthly

(snip)

Seeking to significantly expand its wind power portfolio at home and abroad, Japanese renewable energy company Green Power Investment ( GPI ) is launching a securitized fund for the acquisition of around 500 MW projects, says the company's Toshio Hori. The company, which is a conglomerate of large Japanese and US companies, including one headed by former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani, is seeking individual and institutional investors to participate. The fund would encompass "four or five projects" in Europe and Japan and boast total market capitalisation of "a couple of hundred million US dollars," says Hori, formerly of Tomen's wind business before it became Eurus Energy.

Negotiations with potential investors are ongoing. The fund financing mechanism is aimed at investors wary of holding equity in single projects and reduces risks such as the impact of currency fluctuation. he says. The fund would be the first instrument of its kind based in Japan, Hori says. If all goes to plan, he expects financial close on one major project in Europe in March. At present GPI owns just a 12 MW wind plant in Japan, but has development rights for several projects in Europe, says Hori. Current shareholders in GPI include blue chip companies Mitsubishi Corporation, the Sumitomo Trust & Banking Company, Nippon Life Insurance Company and a US joint venture investment firm , Giuliani Partners - Sage Capital Global Strategic Alliance. GPI shares may be available to further investors by late 2008.

New development-owner Japanese and US investment fund
May, 2005 Wind Power Monthly No5    

A conglomerate of large Japanese and US companies, including one headed by former NY mayor Rudolph Giuliani, have joined force to form a wind development company in Japan called Green Power Investment Corporation (GPI). The new company will be headed by Toshio Hori, formerly of Tomen's wind business before it became Eurus Energy, who has been involved in the wind market for around 20 years.

GPI plans to focus initially on the Japanese market, says Hori, although it hopes to capitalize on opportunities elsewhere. According to GPI, it has already acquired several hundred megawatts of wind power capacity in various stages of development throughout Japan from a subsidiary of the UK's Renewable Energy Systems (RES). RES declines to comment. The RES acquisitions, says GPI, involve around ten projects, one of which - a 12MW wind plant in Shikoku Island - is to start construction this month. The turbine supplier for this project has not been disclosed.

GPI shareholders include Giuliani-Sage, a join venture investment firm established by American's Giuliani partners and Sage Capital Global. Other shareholders are Japanese trading company Mitsubishi Corporation, Sumitomo Trust & Banking, and Sumisho Leasing.

The Giuliani-Sage investment exhibits the partnership's commitment to long term investments in the Japanese economy and to expanding its focus to the energy sector, says the company. "We are extremely pleased to be involved in projects in Japan that have a positive impact on the environment and have significant economic potential," comments Geoffrey Hess of Giuliani Partners.

COMMUNITY OWNED

As Part if its strategic plan, GPI wants to encourage community-owned wind farms in Japan and intends to invite local people to invest in dedicated wind funds for each project. Hori says he is optimistic the Japanese will welcome the initiative, citing the success of real estate investment funds among Japanese private investors.

While wind energy in Japan is in its infancy compared to the German and Spanish markets-with less than 0.1% of the country's electricity being supplied from wind power- Hori and GPI investors are banking on the market taking off substantially. The Japanese government requires electric utilities to source 1.35% of their total electricity supply from renewable sources of energy by 2010. Hori notes the target is relatively small, but says: "Even Japan will be forced to change its policy due to the Kyoto Protocol and rising oil prices".

N-i-c-e find.

This character is looking to cash in bigtime.

If by some freak of nature he gets elected, American democracy will be turned into goverment of, by, and for Tooty, and his Tooters, exclusively.

Every lever of goverment will be turned into making mega-profits for global Rooty.

The trillions US taxpayers have been forced to pour into Mideast hellholes will look like penny ante.

There is a wealth of stuff when you go down the Sage-Giuliani path (I wish I read Japanese!). That Dynacity/Livedoor path also had lots of folks going to jail. (More “good judgment” from Rudy on who he chooses to associate with, lol).

Also, I’m finding a few more links to the martial arts, in addition to Fertitta and WFC. I’m wondering if Kerik might fit in there somehow (Mr. Blackbelt, and all).

BTW, am I the ONLY one that didn’t know that Bernie also had a secret third wife—just like Judi’s secret third husband? Bernie kinda forgot to mention her in his biography.

Giuliani has left somewhat of an easier trail to follow because he set up Giuliani partners. Every path I go down, I find his firm teamed up with shady characters being arrested for drugs, convicted for cooking the books, or leaving their micro-cap public company worthless. IThe folks he teamed up with in NY seem to have moved their operations to London (and Tortola, BVI), but also Antigua and others. The investments are in products that only seem to survive through Government investment whether it be RFID or affordable housing in post-earthquake Japan. I’m also finding the signs of various surveillance technologies—i.e. positioning to fulfill the border investments and the “technological fence” that some keep pushing. I couldn’t help but share the GREEN investments, particularly after his comments this weekend. Some of this is conjecture, but there is a whole body of evidence that I hope some smart reporters (and Federal investigators) start lookin’ at to make sure this guy never becomes president!

There was a book and a series of articles in about 2002 by Gary Weiss: The Mob on Wall Street. The more I look at this stuff, I think he needs to write a sequel: The Wall Street Hoodlums Go Global.

..... am I the ONLY one that didn’t know Bernie Kerik also had a secret third wife—---just like Judi Giuliani’s secret third husband? Bernie kinda forgot to mention her in his biography..................

Don't feel bad----"secrity expert" Giuliani didn't know, either (/sarc).

Rudy never "knew" his former driver and bodyguard was a mobbed-up, government fraudster when he pushed Kerik on GWB for Home/Land/Sec..........this, while Rudy and Kerik ran a global "security firm."

(Waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

So-called "security expert Rudy" was foisting this shady guy Kerik on the nation to protect OUR security and had never revealed Kerik's illegal immigrant problems, mob ties, and other shady activities.

Kerik had problems going way back, as NYC Correction Commissioner, a job given to him by Giuliani.

Last year, Kerik pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor corruption charges, one of them for letting an alleged mob-tied firm renovate his apartment at no cost. He was fined $221,000.

Fast forward to March 13, 2007: Investigators are looking at Kerik's criminal activity, alleged wrongdoing which includes allegations of mortgage fraud, tax fraud, conspiracy to eavesdrop and making false statements on his federal application to become U.S. Homeland Security Secretary.......a Cabinet post.

Kerik apparently received use of a midtown Manhattan apartment for sexual liasions from a prominent real estate developer without ever having claimed use of that apartment on any tax or disclosure forms.

==================================================

All of this runs counter to the image Rudy cultivated as the "tough" federal prosecutor and mayor who cleaned up NYC.

As FReeper nickcarrayway insightfully posted: "anyone who can know a woman since childhood, and be married to her for 14 years, without knowing she's his second cousin, is not smart or inquisitive enough to be president."
