The US has entered into a contract with a real
estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices.
The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of
which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the
country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.
A regular real estate commission will be paid to the
company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales.
That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum.
Richard Blum, be mere coincidence I am sure, happens to be the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Most voters and many of the
government people who approved the deal have not made the connection
between the two because they have different last names.
Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune estimated at between $950 million and $1.1 billion from these transactions. His company, (he is the Chairman and Chief Operating guy), is the sole real estate agent on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 2% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale. All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for and were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars.
In all fairness, it should be pointed out that the government is not an expert in the sale of real estate. although they are not experts in managing railways, automobile manufacturing companies, post offices or whore houses either. But, that didn't prevent them from attempting to do so.
Anyway, the U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties. QUESTION? Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill? On the other hand, I think we're going to need the money to prop up ObamaCare.
Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it! Worse yet,most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets. How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal? Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight? And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.
Dianne, by the way, insists there has been no wrongdoing on her part. Pass this info on before it's pulled from the
Internet.
I even verified it on Snopes and TruthorFiction
NOW....here's the test...Does this GET YOU UPSET? If
it doesn't, then don't complain about the corruption and the
ineptness in D.C. You apparently have given up or have turned a blind eye
and don't care.
