FJCC/COJO Of Flatbush Corruption Exposed

(L-R) Chuck Schumer cosponosor of congresses toeivah"marriage" bill, Helen Weinstein who voted for toeivah "marriage"5 times and to have teachers asking 11 year old girls to kiss one another 9 times!, and "askon" Leon Goldenberg (photo was used in Weinsteins press releases to get uninformed Jews to vote for her against a Orthodox Jew who was strong on all Jewish issues)

To see the video that this article is based on!

FJCC/COJO of Flatbush corruption exposed at their forum.

Since I'm writing this slightly less than 36 hours after the fact I'm sure your all wondering, how come we have not seen the video that appeared in our last story on the Jewish websites.  Or the fact that no Jewish reporter reported even in print on the heated Bris Milah debate that happened in the forum or Quinn's pushing her "perverse morality" by talking about her "wife".

Well first I was told by a witness that there was a man going around to reporters after the event and begging them not report on the event and specifically Erick Salgado.  One of the "reporters" that this man spoke to was Shimon Gifter, Gifter  recently removed a video from his youtube page that on Shimon Weiser specifically because it was on this blog. I had multiple reports by people that Leon Goldenbeg (who donated 4,950$ to the lesbian Christine Quinn) was visibly upset by the fact that Erick Salgado was there.  In fact someone high up in COJO even threatened to fire someone because Erick Salgado showed up "early" to the forum and got to say his opinions to the Jewish community. I've confirmed that it was Leon Goldenberg himself that "invited" Mr Salgado to show up after the event was supposed to be over (9:45) after the FJCC, and COJO rescinded their invitation.  The "jester of good will" only came after many Orthodox Jews made phone calls and sent Emails to COJO and the FJCC demanding that they put in the only candidate standing up for morality and the Jewish community's religious freedom and therefore is the only candidate with real rabbaniems support.

Since you may be wondering "where that video came from" ?
The answer is this came from a private video (so this will not come out on a video search) that's address was given to a gay blog (Queerty) that attacks everyone but BDB, and the lesbian Quinn.  The Queerty article was based on a Politicker article by Ross Barkan article that (?purposely?) misunderstood what Erick Salgado said and therefore the candidates response.
  • A mayoral candidate forum sponsored by Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition became a litmus test on which candidates would speak out for the LGBT community in the face of a hostile audience — and just as significantly, who would not.

    Erick Salgado, a minister who is a minor (to be charitable) candidate, started the chain of events during long-winded remarks in which he reminded the audience, which had significant representation from the Orthodox Jewish community that he believed that they were “persecuted.” As an aside, he threw in a remark about the other candidates. “They are marching here every year in the New York gay pride parade, they’re marching over here, trying to band together,” Salgado said. Needless to say, Salgado got a big hand for his comments

    Two other candidates followed Salgado and said nothing: Bill Thompson, the former city comptroller, and Anthony Weiner, the former Congressman and captain of his own crotch rocket. It took Bill de Blasio, the city’s Public Advocate, to call Salgado out;

    “First of all, I’m not sure exactly — Erick Salgado’s, your point before — I’m not sure exactly what you’re suggesting,” Mr. de Blasio said. “But I just want to say, I think as mayor of New York City it would be my job to protect the rights and needs of the Orthodox community and protect the rights and needs of the LGBT community.”

    This earned de Blasio boos from the audience and at least one cry of “shame.” To his credit, de Blasio kept at it, even though this was not the audience for his remarks. “This is a place for everyone and the government’s job is to protect everyone and their needs,” he said.

    Christine Quinn (pictured, above), who stands a good chance of becoming the city’s first openly lesbian mayor, weighed in as well, and forcefully. “You have to be a city where everyone gets to be who they are without ‘shame’ being screamed at them at an auditorium,” Ms. Quinn said, her voice rising. “Without somebody walking up to them on the street and attacking them, without somebody burning a mezuzah, without somebody, quite frankly, just two weeks ago walking up to a man in my district in Greenwich Village and shooting him in the face and killing him because he was gay.”

    So now we know who has the cojones to speak up for us. And his photos aside, it doesn’t look like Weiner, or like Thompson.
    Watch the whole thing yourself.

DeBlasio + Quinn Have NO Problem With Banning Milah, Only Saying Who's Trying To Ban It!


If your wondering how good the candidates are for the Jewish community watch their reaction to Mr Salgado at the FJCC Forum while he is saying that the attack on MBP is really an attack on Milah itself and specifically on the point that groups trying to ban Bris Milah march in the NY gay pride parade.
their immediate reaction
Bill Thompson, was listening intently (before and after the parade was mentioned) then looks like he just came up with a idea and stares at the lesbian Quinn and smirks.
Anthony Weiner, was enthusiastic and clapping at Mr Salgado's comments about people trying to ban Bris Milah, and was listening intently when he mentioned the parade, then writes something down and jots a look at Quinn and smirks.
Bill DeBlasio and John Liu, both are straight faced the entire time.
"Married" Lesbian Quinn, has a holier than though smirk on the entire time up until Mr Salgado mentions the gay pride parade, she then has a annoyed confused face until after Mr Salgado finished saying there trying to ban it all together, then she looks like her dog was shot, she then goes from biting her tongue, to redoing her hair before going back in to her usual condescending smirk.

When it was his turn it, Anthony Weiner seemed to have responded to Erick by saying "I'm a liberal by just about definition of it, but I believe that there is a liberal elitist condensation, when it come to religion in our city". (more on Anthony Weiner's Bris Milah position "is he pandering to us or the gays?")

When it was his turn it, Bill DeBlasio attacked Erick Salgado for fighting for arguably (kares) most important mitzva in torah, and DeBlasio only cared about the implied 100% true insult to the gay "community".  His attack led to heckles from the more than 90% orthodox audience, and Christine Quinn starting to lead a vibrant clap consisting of her and Liu and a few reporters.  This in turn led to booing and caused moderator Avi Schick to ask people to "hold their comments till the end".

John Liu in response to BDB said "This is a great city, where we can embrace our true diversity, whether it be the "pride" that is exciting with members of the LGBT "community", or the growing Orthodox community right here in Brooklyn and other parts of the city."

Christine Quinn YMS then proceeded to lecture the Jewish community on "tolerance" while NEVER addressing the fact that there is a movement to ban Bris Milah,  She "forgot" that the only "attack" on the gay "community" was the fact that the gay pride parade allows a group to march in their parade that wants to ban Bris Milah. she then proceeded to say she will keep Bloomberg's regulations with out ever adressing the fact that their is a move to ban Bris Milah in this country that is led by members of the said gay "community".

The shocking part is that may have not been Christine Quinn;s most egregious attack on the Jewish community in the forum which was easily over 90% Orthodox.  Christine Quinn spoke about her "wife" 3 times.  The most egregious of these was in a question about what sports team she liked she responded "when I married my "wife"

Mayoral Candidate Who Wasn't "Invited" Wins FJCC-COJO Forum

FJCC forum 018
Erick Salgado Wins FJCC Forum
 After Inviting, not inviting, inviting, and not inviting, and then re inviting him only for the last few minutes of the event Erick Salgado "crashed" the forum and won it, showing that the Jewish community follows the Torah and not "askoniem".

Erick Salgado won the event by being the strongest on MBP and other religious infractions even linking MBP to the previous Bris Milah ban attempts and the FACT that gays march every single year in NY's gay "pride" parade.  He further spoke about how the Jewish community came to this country for Freedom of Religion and how that is under assault. He also spoke very strongly about defending the Yeshiva Parents from high tuitions.

Rumor has it that COJO and the FJCC are very upset that Erick Salgado attended the event and even worse gained support in the Orthodox community.



From Yeshiva World News

It’s only a straw poll, so don’t give too much thought to the results. However, based on the response to our questionnaire by a diverse group of ages and gender, the results of our straw poll, conducted Tuesday night after the FJCC mayoral forum, reflect the overall public opinion polls.

There’s one exception though. Christine Quinn, who didn’t hide the fact that she’s from the LGBT community, switched places with Erick Salgado. Mr. Salgado, whose Orthodox supporters are passionate about his candidacy, got the support of 26% while Ms. Quinn was the preferred choice by 7.4%. Former Councilman Sal Albanese didn’t pick up any support among attendees at the forum. Yet he managed to impress, good enough to be considered as the second choice by 22%.

A whopping 62 percent said they do not trust the candidates based on their promises on the campaign trail while 20% said they do trust the candidates. 18% expressed no opinion.

While the Democrats can rely on the Orthodox Jewish voters to turn out in the primaries and influence the vote, they are unlikely to get the same level of support in the general elections when faced with a Republican challenger. According to our straw poll, only 26% are committed voting for the Democratic nominee in the November election while 34% plan to vote for the Republican nominee. 40 percent were undecided.
Full results below:
Q #1: If primary elections for mayor of New York City were held today who would be your choice in the Democratic party?
Erick Salgado 26%
Anthony Weiner 18%
Bill de Blasio 15%
Bill Thompson 11%
Christine Quinn 7.4%
John Liu 4%
Undecided or NE 18.6%
Q #2: Who is your second choice?
Bill Thompson 27.5%
Sal Albanese 22%
Bill de Blasio 17%
John Liu 16.5%
Anthony Weiner 6%
Christine Quinn 5%
Erick Salgado 5%
Q #3: Do you trust the candidates based on their campaign promises?
Yes 20%
No 62%
No opinion 18%
Q #4: In the general election November 5th, would you vote for the Democratic nominate, the Republican or an Independent?
Democrat 26%
Republican 34%
Undecided 40%

Is The FJCC Afraid That Orthodox Jews Are Going To Vote For Erick Salgado?

All the Democratic candidates oppose school vouchers.
Erick Salgado Second from the Left
In a situation that makes the Jewish Press's corruption seems tame, The Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition, and COJO of Flatbush kicks the only candidate (Erick Salgado) with real rabbaniem's support from it's forum which is scheduled to take place tonight.  Besides just being being the only candidate in favor basic morality, he's also the strongest on MBP, and the only candidate in favor of vouchers and/or tax credits to yeshiva parents.

After saying that their only inviting "real" candidates, this past Thursday Erick Salgado was invited to the FJCC/COJO Mayoral Forum (See Email invitation on the bottom).  This past motzai Shabbos on Zev Brenner's radio program Josh Mehlman, and Avi Schick were on the show to discuss the forum.

Josh Mehlman, the chairman of the Flatbush Jewish Community Coalition said "only the major five Democratic candidates, that stand a chance to become the next mayor of New York City, will participate in Tuesday night’s mayoral forum on Jewish issues. Sal Albanese and Erick Salgado, were not invited due to the fact that they have not met the minimum criteria of being considered a viable candidate, at least according to public opinion polls."  He further added “Our community is best served if we take the candidates who’re most likely to win – the major candidates who have any shot on winning – and force them to confront the issues and address our concerns,”

While Josh Mehlman claims to be a talmid of the Mir his Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Yaakov Nelkenbaum, said "there's no such thing as a long shot or not a long shot, if people do what their supposed to do the abishter helps"

Yesterday Erick Salgados's campaign confirmed with someone from COJO that Erick Salgado was invited to the forum.  Later in the day Mr Salgado was told that his invitation was rescinded.

Furthermore on Yeshiva World News Jacob Kornbluh wrote
  • While it was rumored that the remaining serious candidates – Sal Albanese and Erick Salgado – were invited in the last minute to participate, the organizers of the event deny that claim.

    In a conversation with YWN, Mr. Mehlman confirmed that only the five major candidates were invited, since the issues at stake are too serious to waste the time given for filibuster.

    “We have sent invitations to all of the candidates to meet with the members of our Coalition,” said Mr. Mehlman. “We intend to give all of the remaining candidates an opportunity to lay out their vision and plans to make New York City a better place to live in, and discuss with them their positions on the issues that are at great concern to our community.”
Email COJO sent to Erick Salgado inviting him to the forum

This whole scenario leads to a few questions
1.  Is The FJCC Afraid That Orthodox Jews Are Going To Vote For Erick Salgado?
2. Would Sal Albanese be invited if not for Erick Salgado?
3.  How can they invite a mesis umodiach like Quinn but not the only candidate who isn't against the Torah and has support of real rabbaniem?
4. Does the FJCC follow Daas Torah?
5. Is there any more corruption that we do not know about?
6. Is any other organization like agudah behind this corruption?
