Dirty Hippies - Who Loves Ya Baby?

Those nasty unwashed commies hippies (don't want to give commies a bad name) who have infested New York City like a plague of fleas on a bluetick hound have friends in very high places. Plans to cleanse their "mother hive" in Zuccotti Park before the Black Death returns were canceled by the owners of the Park. Reports from within the squalid hive reveal that it is a sanitary disaster, a drug-infested nightmare. So why the change in plans?

Here's The Real Reason Why Occupy Wall Street Protesters Aren't Getting Kicked Out Of Zuccotti Park

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.

[...] Mayor Bloomberg's announcement Monday that protesters could remain as long as they liked, also raised a few eyebrows and it turns out he has a personal connection to Brookfield as well. The mayor's longtime domestic partner Diana Taylor is on the Board of Directors at Brookfield Properties along with John E. Zuccotti himself.

As Confucius say, "Follow the money."

Zuccotti Park is the former Liberty Plaza Park, It is a privately owed "free space" named after John Zuccotti, the Chairman of Brookfield Office Properties. Zuccotti, an Italian American business man, was the First Deputy Mayor of NYC under Mayor Beame in 1975.
