The Tale Of Black Lives Matter: Maureen Taylor, Jenna Urbauer, NAACP, Temple Beth El, Turkia Mullin, Human Abedine & Detroit Land Bank Authority Propaganda Coverup Ops

The Black Lives Matter movement is currently being infiltrated by the real voices of all people.

Maureen Taylor has been calling out stealin' for as long as there have been victims of stealin' - "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

This is about to get real because what has been taught in the schools and Hollywood about civil rights history and this thing called race is nothing but a noble lie.

On 11th night Detroit protest march goes to Algiers motel incident site from 1967 rebellion

The protest goes to the site of the 1967 rebellion, where one can only hope that young, out of town, protesters, will finally have an awakening to learn, what they have learned, is all a farce.

Speaking of farces...



The money from Jenna Urbauer, owner of Mandell Display Designs, is going to her favorite fake ass charity, the NAACP, because it looks like she had the privilege of acquiring one of those historic, stolen legacies, of a Detroit Land Bank Authority property, during the Great Gerrymandering of Detroit.

How quaint.

I wonder if any of the money is going to Temple Beth El?

We could ask Nancy Edmunds, but I do not believe she would be amenable to an interview, right about now.

Too bad Ann Marie LeFlamme is no longer with WXYZ, because she could have interviewed Jenna, too!

If Jenna and the Wendal "Swindle" Anthony wanted to do something about those who hail of the darker persuasion getting justice, I guess they could rally for a bit of that posthumous due process, but, hey, what do I know?

I know that we could ask Jeannie Rhee, but something tells me Mueller already has.

But, instead, I decided to find out who this Padriac Mullin was, considering the fact that his name was all on Jenna's Mandell Display Designs property address filed with LARA, now removed, as the property taxpayer of Wayne County, where, I just so happen to have found not one, but two, parcel numbers.

Mullin?

Is Padraic the brother of Turkia Mullin, who was kicking it hard with Bob Ficano while she was running the EB-5 program I could get absolutely no information about?

Hillary really wanted control of the airports, you know.

Did Turkia and Padriac go to high school with Huma Abedine, whose brother seems to be involve with those property tax scams and other stuff I found in the Dearborns, Detroit, Highland Park and Hamtramck?

But, hey, what do I know?

The only thing I know is Maureen Taylor is an original source and the world should listen to her, as the Black Lives Matter Movement is about to be uncloaked, for the truth to finally be revealed.

Maureen Taylor: Champion of the poor, disenfranchised

 Maureen has been bleachbitted from the annals of cyber annals of history, but I preserved her legacy.

Maureen Taylor has spent her life advocating and fighting for the rights of the poor. Her passion put her in the national spotlight when she took on WDIV-TV reporter Hank Winchester during an MSNBC interview about the Detroit water shutoff crisis. Many saw her actions as heroic.

“It was true Maureen,” said local activist and community organizer Mike Shane of Moratorium Now! a grass-roots organization working to prevent mortgage foreclosures and utility shutoffs. “(The news segment and Taylor’s comments) gave the issue more prominence, which it needed.”

Shane said the interview illustrated Taylor’s determination and willingness to “go to the mat for poor and working people. She’s a good advocate for people.”

As state chair of the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization, Taylor works nonstop from her office on the fourth floor of downtown Detroit’s Central United Methodist Church to help struggling individuals and families negotiate with Metro Detroit agencies. Many of those she helps are people who are working mainly in low-paying jobs that don’t cover most of their basic bills.

The state chair of the Michigan Welfare Rights Organization and a 2015 Michiganian of the Year, Maureen Taylor talks about what inspired her to become a "change agent."

For 30 years, Taylor has been a voice for the voiceless. She began her career on the front lines of protest marches and rallies to protect welfare benefits for residents during Gov. John Engler’s administration. Most recently she led efforts to prevent the state from tossing 41,000 people off the state’s welfare rolls, and last year she conducted protests over the water shutoffs in Detroit.

Taylor, who attributes many of the city’s problems to a sluggish economy that is starting to rebound, said she always wanted to be a “change agent.”

“I need to be able to make a change,” said Taylor. “I have to do something.”

Her passion for the poor began at a young age. Reared in an economically comfortable home in Detroit, a 12-year-old Taylor was struck by the abject poverty she saw during a cross-country trip with her family to Disneyland in California. Young children, most of whom were under the age of 10, were selling turquoise on the side of the road or picking vegetables.

“This question about social justice meant something to me. I thought ‘there’s something wrong,’ ” Taylor said. “I knew it and I saw it.”

A trained social worker with a master’s degree in social work, Taylor also studied at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

“At the Union Theological Seminary, the coursework was around the fundamental components of why poverty exists. It stressed the relationship between welfare assistance and employment as a bridge between the two contradictory yet dependent polls,” she said. “I learned the history of poverty, the theory of ‘surplus value’ as a component of the existing system, and what role it played in the structure of the American economy. I am a poverty scholar.”

Taylor has been praised for working with corporations, such as DTE, to implement programs to assist the area’s poor. As a result, DTE now provides a representative at Taylor’s office to help individuals and families come up with more affordable utility payments to avoid shutoffs.

Rodney Cole, DTE’s manager of regional relations for Wayne County, said Taylor has been instrumental in helping the utility company assist customers in need.

“She has the history and context with this city,” Cole said. “I have appreciated her ability and willingness to partner (with DTE ).”

Taylor says she doesn’t let those who show up at the Michigan Welfare Rights office leave without some solution to their problems.

“I try to find ways (to help),” Taylor said. “Clients don’t leave here or my desk until there is a plan to alleviate whatever is wrong.”

Guilty Detroit Metro airport boss gasps at verdict in $5M bribery case

James Warner

Detroit — A former Detroit Metropolitan Airport official faces the longest corruption crime sentence in U.S. history after being convicted Wednesday of receiving more than $5 million worth of bribes.

James Warner, 52, of Commerce Township, gasped and arched his eyebrows as the jury forewoman said "guilty" 10 times for charges that included bribery, theft and money laundering conspiracies, and obstruction of justice, a charge that carries a possible 20-year prison sentence.

Warner could be sentenced to more than 30 years in federal prison. The sentence would eclipse the current record, a 28-year federal prison sentence being served by former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

Warner will be sentenced Oct. 8 by U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts.

"The government is going to come at him guns blazing and seek the maximum sentence," said Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor and former federal prosecutor. "Whether Judge Roberts gives that to him is an open question."

Advisory sentencing guidelines call for 24-30 years in federal prison.

U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider, who was in the courtroom Wednesday, said his office will pursue a sentence within the guideline range, "at least."

U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said, "at least".

Roberts has broad discretion and can ignore the guideline range.

Henning does not expect a record-setting sentence even though Warner was accused of receiving five times as much money as Kilpatrick.

"Being an elected mayor versus an airport official, I’m not sure they’re exactly comparable even though (Warner) took much more money," Henning said.

Prosecutors wanted Warner taken into custody Wednesday, calling him a flight risk and a danger to himself, citing what they believe was a suicide attempt in 2017.

More than $1 million remains unaccounted for and the money could bankroll a flight from justice, Assistant U.S. Attorney Eaton Brown told the judge.

Warner’s lawyer Robert Harrison disagreed. All of Warner’s assets have been frozen or seized, Harrison said, adding that Warner is not suicidal.

The judge read letters from Warner’s doctor before deciding to let Warner remain free until October. The letters convinced the judge Warner was not suicidal and she was satisfied he does not have money to fund an escape.

Warner and his lawyer declined comment.

Jurors deliberated for about four hours before reaching the verdict following a trial that lasted parts of three weeks. In a rare move, Warner testified in his own defense.

Warner, an airport manager and field inspector who also worked for West Bloomfield Township, is the rare indicted public official to stand trial on corruption charges and risk a decades-long federal prison sentence.

Kwame Kilpatrick and Dean Reynolds

Two of the most recent politicians to stand trial in federal court —Kilpatrick and Clinton Township Trustee Dean Reynolds — were convicted and sentenced to double-digit prison sentences.

Kwame Kilpatrick, left, and Dean Reynolds.

Warner's alleged appetites distinguish him from the dozens of public officials who have been accused or convicted of corruption-related crimes in the last decade in Metro Detroit. He fabricated invoices, overcharged the airport for work performed by contractors and received more than $5 million worth of kickbacks during a four-year period, prosecutors said.

The alleged bribery conspiracy outlined by prosecutors started in May 2010 when Warner was working as a field inspector at the airport approving maintenance and repair contracts. He headed three related schemes involving Metro Detroit contractors, including Romulus businessman William Pritula, 70, whose company William Pritula & Sons held facilities and maintenance contracts at the airport, prosecutors said.

Warner drafted and submitted inflated invoices for work Pritula was hired to perform at the airport, according to the government. The payments totaled more than $18 million.

In return, Warner received approximately half of the profits from the contracts, or more than $5 million, according to the indictment.

Pritula pleaded guilty to bribery last year and could be sentenced up to 10 years in prison in September. He agreed to forfeit $5.4 million to the government.

Federal court records describe Warner as a greedy, potty-mouthed felon.

"If it weren't for me, your ass would be out," Warner told one airport contractor, according to the indictment.

That contractor, authorities allege, was Gary Tenaglia, 65, of Rochester, who was charged last year and accused of defrauding the Wayne County Airport Authority of $1.5 million.

Warner allegedly gave Tenaglia inside information so the contractor's company, Envision Electric, could win contracts. In return, Warner received 10 percent of each invoice, prosecutors said.

During one dinner, Warner and Tenaglia discussed contracts and kickbacks, prosecutors said.

"During the meal, James Warner wrote '5k,' a proposed kickback amount, on a napkin," prosecutors wrote in the indictment. "He folded it and slid it across the table to Gary Tenaglia. After Gary Tenaglia acknowledged the meaning of the writing on the napkin, James Warner retrieved the napkin and ate it."

An Authority Or Child Welfare: Which Fraud Came First In Wayne County?

Well. If Matt Schneider is going to go after public corruption in Wayne County, I truly hope he applies the same methodology to the other side of the Wayne County Airport Authority, which just so happens to be Child Welfare, which just so happens to be much worse.

Feds: Detroit airport manager took bribes, ate evidence

Detroit — A former Detroit Metropolitan Airport official was indicted in federal court Wednesday on charges he pocketed more than $5 million in bribes and tried to cover up the crime by eating evidence.

Former airport utilities and infrastructure manager James Warner, 51, of Commerce Township, is the third person charged in a widening bribery investigation involving an airport that has been a recurring setting for corruption scandals in recent years. The money Warner received amounts to one of the largest bribery cases prosecuted by the local U.S. Attorney's Office, which has sent ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and dozens of others to prison for corruption in recent years.

Federal agents have seized $11.4 million during the investigation, including $7.5 million from one contractor and $3.9 million from Warner, who was suspended Wednesday from his job in the West Bloomfield Township water and sewer department.

"Our citizens are entitled to decisions based on the best interests of the public, not the best interests of corrupt public officials and bribe-paying contractors," U.S. Attorney Matthew Schneider said in a statement Wednesday.

Warner was charged with conspiracy, theft, bribery, money laundering and obstruction of justice during a seven-year stretch of corruption that spanned work at the airport and as a water and sewer official for West Bloomfield Township. If convicted, Warner could spend more than 20 years in federal prison.

He was arraigned late Wednesday in federal court and released on $10,000 unsecured bond.His lawyer did not respond to multiple messages seeking comment.

Warner had the power to approve and extend maintenance projects funded through the Wayne County Airport Authority from 2010 to 2014.

He ruled with a salty tongue and his hand out, according to federal prosecutors.

"If it weren't for me, your ass would be out," Warner told one contractor, according to the indictment.

That contractor, authorities allege, was Gary Tenaglia, 64, of Rochester, who was charged last month and accused of defrauding the Wayne County Airport Authority of $1.5 million.

During one dinner, Warner and Tenaglia discussed contracts and kickbacks, prosecutors said.

"During the meal, James Warner wrote '5k,' a proposed kickback amount, on a napkin," prosecutors wrote in the indictment. "He folded it and slid it across the table to Gary Tenaglia. After Gary Tenaglia acknowledged the meaning of the writing on the napkin, James Warner retrieved the napkin and ate it."

The indictment was filed one day after prosecutors charged airport contractor William Pritula, 69, of Romulus with federal program bribery, a 10-year felony.

In exchange for offering bribes, Pritula received contracts worth more than $18 million during a four-year period, according to the indictment.

Tenaglia and Pritula are expected to plead guilty.

Pritula owned and operated Pritula and Sons, a firm that won contracts to repair and replace pavement at the airport and contracts to repair water mains and install fire hydrants from 2003 to 2014.

Starting in May 2010, Pritula conspired with Warner and others to steal money from federally funded programs and commit bribery, prosecutors said.

Warner provided confidential and proprietary information that helped Pritula win airport contracts, according to the indictment.

Warner created phony invoices on behalf of the contractor’s company that “grossly inflated the cost and scope” of Pritula’s work, the government alleged.

In return, Pritula paid kickbacks to the airport official, prosecutors said.

In September 2013, for example, Warner submitted a $938,000 invoice to the airport authority for work that cost $275,000, according to the indictment.

Days later, Pritula’s firm paid Warner $397,372 and the airport official deposited the money in his bank account.

In less than a year, Warner received more than $573,000 from Pritula’s company, prosecutors allege.

Warner also supervised work by Tenaglia’s firm, Envision Electric, which had contracts to maintain airport parking structures from May 2011 to June 2014.

Warner fabricated reviews of Envision’s work and concealed mistakes made by the company, according to the indictment.

In exchange, Warner demanded kickbacks, prosecutors said.

Warner told Tenaglia he needed to pay kickbacks “to be a part of the ‘brotherhood’ at the airport,” prosecutors allege.

"The allegations against James Warner cheating the citizens of Wayne County are distressing to the many men and women working hard every day with integrity and commitment to protect those public funds provided for infrastructure development,” Timothy Slater, special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit field division, said in a statement.

Warner left the airport authority in August 2014. In January 2017, he started working for the West Bloomfield Township water and sewer department as a project manager with a $74,027 salary.

"Within months, Warner proposed to Tenaglia a continuation of the same scheme the two had at the airport— a demand for 10 percent of each invoice West Bloomfield Township paid Tenaglia," prosecutors alleged.

The township suspended Warner with pay Wednesday, Supervisor Steven Kaplan told The News.

Kaplan said he is unaware whether the township was defrauded and that Warner did not have access to money or township checks.

“I think it’s doubtful,” Kaplan said. “He was low in the chain of employees. We had no reason to know or suspect that he might have been involved in skulduggery during his Wayne County employment. Although we recognize he’s presumed to be innocent, the allegation involving West Bloomfield is very disturbing."

Warner also was charged with obstructing justice because prosecutors said he altered a document provided to the FBI during the investigation.

The airport has periodically been embroiled in corruption investigations.

Airport authority CEO Turkia Mullin, a former Wayne County economic development chief, was fired in 2011 after the FBI served subpoenas demanding information about a nonprofit she ran and deals she engineered for the county.

Mullin was never charged with a crime.

The investigation coincided with a probe of then-Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano, who lost re-election in August 2014.

Ficano was never charged with a crime and said federal investigators wrote him a letter after the three-year investigation declaring that he was "never a target" of the probe.

In 2004, former top airport official Wilbourne Kelley III and his wife, Barbara, were convicted of accepting cash, home improvements and other gifts from former airport contractor Frank Vallecorsa. They were sentenced to 44 months and 41 months in prison, respectively.

Kelley was the only official sent to prison as a result of an FBI investigation of Wayne County government under Edward H. McNamara, the late political boss.

Another Detroit Authority Scandal: Detroit Metropolitan Airport Authority

Detroit Metro scandal widens second contractor charged

Detroit — A corruption investigation involving rigged contracts at Detroit Metropolitan Airport widened Tuesday when a contractor was charged in federal court with bribing an airport official.

William Pritula, 69, of Romulus was charged with federal program bribery, a 10-year felony, and the nature of the charge indicates he is expected to plead guilty amid the ongoing investigation.

According to prosecutors, Pritula received $5.47 million after bribing an unnamed official with the Wayne County Airport Authority, which manages and operates Detroit Metro and Willow Run airports.

The criminal charge was filed more than one month after another contractor, Gary Tenaglia, was charged with participating in a conspiracy that defrauded the Wayne County Airport Authority out of $1.5 million.

The conspiracy involves Tenaglia’s firm, Envision Engineering & Maintenance, and a $1.5 million contract to remove snow and ice from the Blue Deck parking structure at the airport. According to court records, Tenaglia conspired with at least two other people who are not named in the court filing.

Tenaglia, 64, a multimillionaire businessman from Rochester, also is expected to plead guilty.

Pritula, meanwhile, is president and owner of his namesake firm, William A. Pritula & Sons, LLC. The firm has worked as an airport contractor for at least eight years and secured contracts for facility and infrastructure maintenance and water main, storm sewer and sanitary system distribution repairs.

From May 2010 to October 2014, Pritula gave the unnamed airport official bribes to influence and reward the official for helping secure airport deals, according to court records.

Prosecutors want a $5.47 million judgment against Pritula. The sum represents gross proceeds obtained by Pritula, according to court records.

Pritula's lawyer, Ben Gonek, declined comment Tuesday.

“The Wayne County Airport Authority is aware of the criminal complaint that was filed today against William Pritula," spokeswoman Erica Donerson said in a statement Tuesday. "Since late 2014, the Airport Authority has not had any contracts with Pritula companies or the individual, William Pritula. We cannot comment further at this time given the pending proceedings.”

The airport authority trumpeted Pritula's firm when it won a $2.6 million maintenance contract in 2010.

“We have seen repeatedly how spending on transportation infrastructure turns out to be an investment in our future,” then-Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano said. “I congratulate Pritula & Sons for their successful bid.”

Is This My Wayne County Fantasy?

Could this be a fantasy come true?

The feds are finally investigating child welfare fraud in Wayne County, Michigan??

Feds investigate contractors who worked for Mullin's brother

Detroit— Two contractors under scrutiny by federal officials for their work on a controversial Wayne County project are also building an office complex for Turkia Mullin's brother.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has ordered the county to end contracts with Parlovecchio Building and the Hennessey Group on a $7 million recreation center because of conflicts of interest.

Anthony Parlovecchio was Mullin's economic development director until this spring, while the Hennessey Group has another county contract to manage federal money.

The two contractors also are working on a $680,000 office building on Schoenherr near 13 Mile in Warren for Dr. Sam Awada, Mullin's brother, according to planning documents obtained by The Detroit News.

The revelation is the latest in a series of associations between current or former county officials and contractors that Wayne County Commission Chairman Gary Woronchak and others find questionable.

"This is turning into a cesspool," said Woronchak, D-Dearborn. "It's hard for me to express how disgusted I am getting with all this, the cozy relationships."

Woronchak added: "What this boils down to is a violation of trust. This changes the landscape of how the county commission is going to deal with this administration."

The commission already is investigating a $200,000 severance paid to Mullin after she resigned to become CEO of Detroit Metropolitan Airport in September and plans to meet today on the issue. The FBI also is investigating the payment, and Mullin was fired Monday from the airport post.

Parlovecchio and Hennessey officials didn't return phone calls for comment. Nor did Awada or Mullin.

According to planning documents, Hennessey is providing civil engineering work and Parlovecchio is listed as the contractor on Awada's 12,100-square-foot medical office building. The city issued permits for the project June 20.

There's no suggestion the involvement of county contractors for a building owned by a relative of the county's former economic development director is improper. But it doesn't look good, said John Chamberlin, a University of Michigan professor of public policy and ethics expert.

"The smell is going to come off about every relationship these people have at this point," Chamberlin said. "It seems a little too cute, too cozy."

Federal officials released a HUD report on Parlovecchio and the Hennessey Group on Wednesday, the same day The Detroit News reported that county commissioners and others are questioning a no-bid contract that could net Parlovecchio $1.65 million for monitoring construction of the county's $220-million jail.

The report focuses on Parlovecchio and Hennessey's work on the nonprofit Helping Youth Prosper and Excel Athletics, or HYPE, for an 110,000-square-foot center under construction in Dearborn Heights. County commissioners are upset about the project because they say eight acres of parkland were sold to the nonprofit for $1 without their knowledge.


Child welfare fraud is not limited services to children.  As seen here, it includes the category of land.  I will wager this non-profit project, upon completion, had formatted and adopted a revenue-maximization scheme to bilk Medicaid dollars under the guise of "the best interests of the kids".

County officials have until Friday to respond to the HUD report. They agree with HUD on Parlovecchio and say his contract with HYPE will end. But the issue with Hennessey is a "clerical mistake" that will be resolved, said Brooke Blackwell, a spokeswoman for Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano.

The findings are "the government equivalent to insider trading," Chamberlin said.

"It just looks bad," Chamberlin said. "It's the reason people don't trust government."

Parlovecchio has said he was set to be paid as much as $270,000 for the HYPE facility. While working for Mullin with the county, he helped the nonprofit find the site.

Not insider trading.  Child Welfare fraud.  Oh, just read this.

Wayne County Operational Audit Report 2004

The contract violates federal rules that forbid government employees to be hired on federally funded projects within a year of their departure, HUD wrote Deputy County Executive Azzam Elder on Sept. 30.

"His former position provided him with access to insider information," the report reads. "This granted Mr. Parlovecchio undue enrichment."

Parlovecchio now plans to continue on the project as a volunteer, Blackwell said.

Wayne County lacks a so-called "revolving door" policy barring former employees from returning for contracts, but county Commissioner Ilona Varga, D-Lincoln Park, plans to introduce new ordinances that would make it more difficult.

Ask Jewel Ware why there is no "revolving door" policy.

Wayne County Juvenile Assessment Center Audit 2004

The HUD report also found a conflict of interest in the Hennessey Group's engineering contract on the recreation center. The report also claims the Southgate-based firm has a role monitoring Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds for the county — the same type of grants used for the HYPE center.

That is wrong, Blackwell said. The county pays Hennessey $1.1 million to monitor other federal programs, she said.

"In our response to HUD we acknowledge that a clerical mistake was made on the HYPE payment process with Hennessy," Blackwell wrote in an email. "We have agreed to take additional steps to ensure that such mistakes are not taken in the future.  [bullshit].


I expect Berg and McQuade to finally make their USAs sing for their supper, now.
