GIULIANI TIME Review (Playahata)
http://playahata.com/hatablog/?p=1535

It wouldn't be Kevin Keating's fault if he has missed the simmering scandal that is and remains the creation of Giuliani within the Administration for Children's Services. The media has done a pretty good job so far of protecting Rudy, his successor, and their accomplices. Do I know whereof  I speak?

I am a ten year veteran child protective worker with eight years in the Emergency Children's Services section of Division of Child Protective Services. Being of perhaps the last generation that was taught critical thinking in public school and having been raised with a social consciousness I was impelled to be a whistle blower in ACS, though so far not too successful a one.

I'm not here just to toot my own horn, push my own agenda, monopolize your board or advertise a commercial web site but those who want to know more about this aspect of what was and still is Giuliani Time should take a peek at my blog www.fatoldjewishguywholivesintheprojects.com.

I look forward to seeing the movie and hope I can possibly make a contribution to the task at hand of stopping Giuliani's national ambitions.

Fineman joined Matthews in

     Summary: On MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews and Newsweek
chief political correspondent Howard Fineman praised former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) while speculating
on their potential as Republican candidates in the 2008 presidential
race. Matthews said of Giuliani: "He looks like [a] president to me."
When Matthews called a potential McCain-Giuliani ticket something for
"Democrats ... to go home and worry about," Fineman agreed that it
would be like "Starsky and Hutch."

On the May 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball, host Chris Matthews and
Newsweek chief political correspondent Howard Fineman praised former
New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) while
speculating on their potential as Republican candidates in the 2008
presidential race. After playing a clip of Giuliani discussing whether
he would run for president, Matthews stated, "He looks like [a]
president to me." When Matthews called a potential McCain-Giuliani
ticket something for "Democrats ... to go home and worry about,"
Fineman agreed that it would be like "Starsky and Hutch," the cop duo
from the television series and movie of the same name. Fineman added
that a McCain-Giuliani ticket would be "culturally diverse." In an
apparent reference to McCain's Vietnam War service as a naval aviator
and Giuliani's past work as a U.S. attorney, Matthews later stated:
"Remember the great Churchill speech, 'We will fight them in the air.
We will fight them in the streets.' You can do it with McCain in the
air and Giuliani in the streets."

Chuck Todd, editor in chief of the National Journal's weblog, The
Hotline, later cited Giuliani's association with former New York City
police commissioner Bernard Kerik -- who withdrew his nomination as
secretary of Homeland Security amid scandal allegations -- as an
obstacle to Giuliani's purported presidential ambitions. Although
Matthews acknowledged that Kerik "had a little love nest going on near
the World Trade Center," he shrugged off the political significance of
Giuliani's association with Kerik, citing it as "proof of how enduring
[Giuliani] is, because that didn't hurt him."

From the May 2 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:

     MATTHEWS: Rudy Giuliani was in Iowa campaigning for congressional
candidates the other day, and he answered some questions about whether
he will run for president in 2008.

     GIULIANI [video clip]: I've got a lot of places to go and a lot of
people to talk to, and, you know, a long process of figuring out
whether, you know, it makes sense to run for president in 2008. I
don't know the answer to that yet.

     MATTHEWS: He looks like president to me, Chuck.

     TODD: You know, I'll tell you, I have been in this camp that says
he's not going to run. They say there's no way he's going to run. This
has been a marketing campaign to help his businesses.

     [...]

     MATTHEWS: OK. Let me give the Democrats something to go home and
worry about, including the moderate Democrats, and the conservative
Democrats and the liberals, of course. McCain-Giuliani, the ticket.

     FINEMAN: Starsky and Hutch.

     MATTHEWS: Does that scare -- that may carry Pennsylvania, New
York. It could carry California, that ticket.

     FINEMAN: It's culturally diverse but tough on the war.

     MATTHEWS: Both hawks.

     FINEMAN: And they are both hawks, but, you know, one is a cop and
one is a military guy. It's not quite the same thing. But the way
George Bush and Karl Rove have defined the presidency, they have
defined it as a war commander-tough cop in the world presidency.
Ironically, these two guys -- I don't know if it's ironically or on
purpose -- these two guys fit it best.

     And my theory is that Rudy is going to do everything he can up to
running, up to jumping in the squad car and running. It's going to be
dependent on what happens with McCain. Because my sense from some of
the people around Rudy that I know, and some of the McCain people, is
that they both think there isn't enough shelf space for both of them
as presidential candidates. And I think Rudy is going to look to see
if McCain stumbles. If McCain doesn't, I don't think Rudy will run.
Maybe he'll be on the ticket.

     MATTHEWS: How about the veep?

     FINEMAN: Well, that's a separate question. That comes later.

     MATTHEWS: It's an attractive position.

     FINEMAN: Well sure. And by the way, he can also say, "I'm not
going to run, and how are you going to decorate the mahogany for my
not-running?"

     MATTHEWS: What's that mean?

     FINEMAN: That means putting the money on the table. As long as
we're talking -- that's an old Bronx term.

     [crosstalk]

     TODD: I've got two words: Bernie Kerik. How many Bernie Keriks
does Rudy Giuliani have to go through?

     MATTHEWS: That's the guy he put up for the Homeland Security, it
turns out they had a little love nest going on near the World Trade
Center. But, you know, that's proof of how enduring he is, because
that didn't hurt him.

     TODD: We haven't vetted --

     FINEMAN: Also there's a whole documentary about Rudy that's
dynamite. It's going to get a lot of airtime.

     TODD: Rudy was the most hated man in New York City on September 10th [2001].

     FINEMAN: It's just the whole picture of the rest of Rudy Giuliani.

     MATTHEWS: Remember the great Churchill speech, "We will fight them
in the air. We will fight them in the streets." You can do it with
McCain in the air and Giuliani in the streets.

The Manhattan Institute wasn't just Giuliani's cheering section or
party-giver, they were the influential and connected think tank that
created his candidacy, ideas, and policies.

Giuliani will quickly jettison his so-called pro-gay and pro-choice
credentials if it suits his megolomanic quest for power, just as he
dumped his wife on television.

I saw a picture of Giuliani down South at some right wing
religious-political convention this year, and he was going off like an
inspired preacher.

With someone riddled with flaws like RWG, how do you begin to paint a
comprehensive picture of the man? I just hope people don't let the
messenger's own record get in the way of the message. Keating is brave
to take on the subject. But I think people will react the same way as
if David Duke had done an "expose" of Jesse Jackson.

[NOTE: The Manhattan Institute, the right wing think tank that threw

William Casey and funded by Chase Bank and pharmaceutical companies

NY Observer 4/26/06
Can Rudy Pass
As Republican?
Hillary Helps

By Jason Horowitz

Freshly returned from the midterm campaign trail, a smiling Rudy
Giuliani was welcomed into the friendly confines of Cipriani's on the
evening of April 25. As waiters in white coats scurried about the main
dining room, Mr. Giuliani made an entrance worthy of a Presidential
contender.

"I've spent a lot of time down in the South," he told The Observer as
he walked in with his wife Judith on his arm. "I just got back from
New Orleans. It was devastating, but I'm back in New York. I love New
York. I'm from New York."

The black-tie affair, thrown by the Manhattan Institute, Mr.
Giuliani's old cheering section, marked a homecoming of sorts for the
61-year-old former Mayor. During the last several months, he has spent
a lot of time under the radar and below the Mason-Dixon Line, quietly
building coalitions with conservative Republicans as he prepares for a
potential 2008 Presidential bid.

Despite Mr. Giuliani's absence from the national stage, Tuesday
night's hobnobbing with Tom Wolfe, David Brooks and Mortimer Zuckerman
served as a reminder that the former Mayor is a genuine celebrity. He
enjoys enormous national name recognition and is widely seen as a
strong leader because of the resolve he showed during the Sept. 11
attacks.

But there is also a serious question of how long Mr. Giuliani can
remain at the top of national Republican polls (along with his friend,
Senator John McCain) while holding starkly unconservative positions on
abortion and gay rights. Moderation may work here in New York, but it
doesn't necessarily fly in the red states.

Perhaps for that reason, Mr. Giuliani has been skipping straw polls
and lying low to keep those issues—plus his two divorces—buried below
the headlines.

But some Republican strategists see in Mr. Giuliani's recent and
conspicuous support of conservative candidates an effort to quell
opposition from the Republican right wing should he eventually run.

"It gives him an opportunity to campaign for candidates and neutralize
the opposition," said Arnold Steinberg, a Republican strategist.
"Because there will be people who may not be for him, but they won't
be passionately against him."

And so Mr. Giuliani has dropped in on the Global Pastors of Florida,
campaigned with pro-life Senator Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania, and
signed on for a fund-raiser for Ralph Reed, the co-founder of the
Christian Coalition and a candidate for lieutenant governor in
Georgia. This weekend, he is holding a cocktail party for a more
like-minded Republican, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California.

The busy schedule also allows Mr. Giuliani to stay in the thick of
Presidential politics without overexposing himself in the national
limelight. By conquering new constituencies with tough talk about
national security, Mr. Giuliani is showing conservative America that
he is a candidate they can live with, if not love. And that could just
be enough if the Republican Party needs a New Yorker to stand up to
Mr. Giuliani's old foe, Senator Hillary Clinton, in a general
election.

And so Mr. Giuliani is dusting off some old Hillary barbs.

"We're both Yankee fans," Mr. Giuliani said of Mrs. Clinton while
campaigning this month with Senator Santorum in the home state of the
Philadelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I became a Yankee
fan growing up in New York. She became a Yankee fan growing up in
Chicago."

But Anthony V. Carbonetti, a top executive at Giuliani Partners, a
consulting firm, and a close advisor to Mr. Giuliani, warned that it
was too early to determine who would stand "at the other end of the
ring," meaning that it is unclear who will emerge as the Democratic
Party's nominee. He also emphasized that Mr. Giuliani hasn't decided
whether to run or not. He added, however, that if Mr. Giuliani does
run, he would find common ground with many in the Republican Party.

"If he decided to go forward, you get more into the record and the
accomplishments in New York," said Mr. Carbonetti, referring to the
historic decreases in crime and in welfare cases during Mr. Giuliani's
tenure as Mayor. "I would count on those accomplishments in any
Republican primary."

Still, to Republican candidates running in this year's midterm
election, Mr. Giuliani's appeal is based on Sept. 11. On April 6, Mr.
Giuliani reinforced that image with an appearance at the sentencing
trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, and the large majority of his nearly 150
talks in the last two years have addressed national security.

"He has been very active, but not on the typical dog-and-pony shows.
He doesn't do the straw polls in Memphis or the breakfast at the
Chamber of Commerce in New Hampshire," said Lee Miringoff, director of
the Marist Institute for Public Opinion. "Part of his mystique is that
he's out there as an unknown quantity. And I think he wants to keep
that as long as possible."

That said, Mr. Giuliani is increasing his visibility as the midterm
elections loom, and Mr. Carbonetti said he is "committed to
campaigning for and raising money for Republican candidates."
Republicans are desperately in need of someone who can help get voters
excited, and Mr. Giuliani can pack them in like few others.

Bound for Iowa

"It's an election year, and he is coming out here to help our
candidates, looking to get Republicans in Congress," said Sarah
Sauber, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Republican Party. On May 1, Mr.
Giuliani is scheduled to speak at a "Get Motivated" seminar in Iowa
that is expected to draw nearly 20,000 to the Wells Fargo Arena. He
will also make appearances at fund-raisers for Representative Jim
Nussle, a candidate for Governor, and Jeff Lamberti, a candidate for
Congress. The Iowa caucuses, of course, are the first important event
in the Presidential primary season.

A day after that, Mr. Giuliani goes to Washington, as the featured
guest at a fund-raiser for the National Republican Senatorial
Committee. According to the committee's spokesman, Brian Nick, Mr.
Giuliani is still a major draw and a "tremendous asset" for
Republicans. Mr. Nick said the former Mayor generates large amounts of
contributions that "will directly help candidates around the country."

Mr. Giuliani is also doing well for himself, thanks to lucrative
speaking engagements and the business of his Giuliani Partners
consulting firm. In 2005, he was named as a partner to the
Houston-based law firm Bracewell & Giuliani, which also helped build
connections in the South.

"He certainly has star power down here," said Jay W. Ragley, political
director of the Republican Party of South Carolina. Mr. Ragley said
that when the time came, voters would have to balance Mr. Giuliani's
less-than-conservative stance on social issues with his leadership
qualities, but added that in the meantime, "I think most Republican
people want to see him and be near him."

That sentiment was echoed around the country.

"When it comes to talking to folks about the importance of President
Bush's global war on terror," said Jeff Sadosky, a spokesman for the
Republican Party of Florida, "folks nationwide look to Rudy Giuliani."

As Mr. Giuliani builds a bank of favors to potentially cash in on
without suffering the scrutiny of an official Presidential bid, he
also has the luxury of keeping his options open. His flexibility can
prove maddening to political Sibyls.

"It's a popular parlor game in Washington, D.C., to handicap Rudy
Giuliani's potential path to a Presidential bid," said Nelson
Warfield, a Republican strategist who is dubious of Mr. Giuliani's
chances. "I think he has no shot in the South once people find out
about the Harvey Milk High School for gay teenagers [which was
expanded in 2001, during the Mayor's last year in office], and the
panoply of liberal and progressive issues that he has to explain."

Indeed, evangelist leader Jerry Falwell articulated such opposition
recently when he told CNN: "As conservative Christians who take the
Bible seriously, we have probably irreconcilable differences on life
and family and that kind of thing. I'll never speak an ill word about
[Mr. Giuliani], because he means so much to America. But I couldn't
support him for President."

Unless, perhaps, if Mr. Giuliani emerges as the lesser of two evils.

Mrs. Clinton, who already has raised more than $30 million for her
Senate re-election this year and is widely believed to be preparing
for a run for President, turns out to be Mr. Giuliani's best friend
when it comes to his own Presidential ambitions, according to many
Republican strategists. The prospect of a Hillary Presidency could
distract Southern conservatives from Mr. Giuliani's more liberal
social positions.

"They might fear her so much that they would embrace him," said Mr. Steinberg.

A combination of Mr. Giuliani's fame and Mrs. Clinton as an opponent
also gives him an edge when it comes to fund-raising.

"Seeing the success he has in raising money for other people, I'm
confident he would be successful," said Mr. Carbonetti, who said he
speaks regularly with Karl Rove, the President's deputy chief of staff
responsible for politics, and Ken Mehlman, the chairman of the
Republican National Committee. Political observers also think that a
Hillary candidacy opens up opportunities for Mr. Giuliani, even if he
doesn't make it through the primary. If a Republican candidate with
more traditionally conservative values on social issues ends up facing
Mrs. Clinton, there are few more attractive choices for Vice President
than Mr. Giuliani.

"Everybody looks for a base to run from," said Rick Wiley, executive
director of the Republican Party of Wisconsin. "Obviously, he would
really stymie her position to run up the score in New York. She would
have to look elsewhere to pick up those electoral votes."

Whatever the calculus turns out to be, Mr. Giuliani is causing plenty
of chin-scratching and anguish for politicians and analysts around the
country.

"He is an interesting candidate, because he is so strong in some areas
that conservatives are willing to overlook some of their differences
with him," said Republican pollster David Winston. "Making a decision
to run for President is not like any other. I think he is going
through a process of deciding what he is going to do."

With an ego that big, it's necessary to widen the roads....

Road to Rudy will run Iowans $50G

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's planned trip to Iowa next week is already
costing taxpayers there $50,000 - for a special exit ramp to deal with
the planned crowds.

Giuliani, making his first foray into the presidential battleground
state since 2004, is due to speak at a "Get Motivated" seminar in Des
Moines on Monday, along with former boxing champ George Foreman,
personal finance guru Suze Orman and others.

But state officials are so worried that the expected 18,000 attendees
will jam area roads, they are paying a contractor an extra $50,000 to
widen a section of Interstate 235 and keep open an exit ramp that was
due to close for repairs.

"It is in the interest of public safety," said Bill Lusher, a project
manager for the Iowa Department of Transportation. "We are hoping that
as a result of this, we will have safe access to the [Giuliani] event
and hopefully avoid any accidents."

The former mayor, who is known to be weighing a bid for President in
2008, is also due to headline a state party fund-raiser in Des Moines
and, later, raise money for Republican Rep. Jim Nussle, who is running
for governor.

Prince of the City

New York Sun Editorial
April 25, 2006

Mayor Giuliani will be honored tonight by the Manhattan Institute at
its annual Alexander Hamilton dinner, and it is hard to think of a
more fitting evening. It was the Manhattan Institute that nursed in
this town the ideas that triumphed in the 1990s - and are still
ascendant - and it was Mayor Giuliani who had the wisdom, the
foresight to go to the Manhattan Institute in search of ideas on which
to build a mayoralty that changed this city, that proved it could be
governable, and that laid the basis for the gains that have been made
by, in Mayor Bloomberg, another wonderful leader.

It has been more than four years since Mr. Giuliani left office, and
it is no small thing that there are still millions of New Yorkers, and
many millions of Americans, who are eager for more of his leadership.
The first time your editors sat down with him for an extended
conversation about political principles was in the early 1990s, when
he was running in the campaign that would, four years after a bitter
defeat, finally elevate him to the mayoralty. To this day we rank the
interview as one of the clearest, most coherent explications of a
political philosophy that we've ever heard.

This was when we first began to hear his talk of "one standard" and to
gain the sense that, behind all the tough-guy image and political
aggressiveness, was a serious intellectual in his own right, a person
who read and thought about issues. Certainly he could be
confrontational, toward, say, the professional poverty advocates and
race hustlers. But he could also be warm, toward the immigrants and
homeowners and small entrepreneurs that make this city great. And we
began to gain the sense then of one of his greatest traits, his
capacity for political incorrectness.

By this we mean the streak of his personality that could, say, send
police officers to escort Yasser Arafat out of a concert in the city
because he just understood that it was a mockery. This is the same
streak that permitted him to just tear up a $10 million check from a
Saudi billionaire when it came with language that was offensive to a
city in which 3,000 of its citizens had just been slaughtered in the
name of the same hatred the donor was preaching. This is a streak that
Mr. Giuliani shares with President Bush.

For the Manhattan Institute to honor Mr. Giuliani tonight makes a
statement about conservative ideals at a moment when the conservative
movement is at a crossroads. Some conservatives want to stop
supporting freedom abroad and attack immigration here at home. Mr.
Giuliani stands for an optimistic brand of conservatism that does not
tolerate terrorists or negotiate with them and that understands that
immigration strengthens America's culture and economy rather than
weakens it. In a conservative movement often hostile to government,
Mr. Giuliani understood the role of honest government and capitalism
in supporting freedom.

There's been a lot of talk about whether Mr. Giuliani will run for
president. There are plenty of good candidates, and this isn't the
moment for an endorsement. But count this newspaper as in the camp
that hopes Mr. Giuliani will run, not only because we think he'd do a
fine job of running the country were he to win but because his ideas -
on tax cuts, on fighting terrorism, on immigration, on vouchers for
private and parochial school students - would be healthy for the
national debate. We have not the slightest doubt that the audience
receptive to these kinds of ideas extends far beyond the crowd that
will gather tonight to see the prince of the city honored in the name
of Hamilton.

Between the lines....
Here's an article from today's issue of Crains about wealthy donors to
the arts. It's a puff piece on how wonderful the wealthy art donors
are. What the article doesn't mention is how many of the people named
are associated with the CIA – and with worse things.
While admiring their generosity you might consider where their money
came from. The invisible common thread throughout the Crains article
is Rockefeller-CIA-EXXON-Nazi. Check it out....

For example, MOMA, according to The Cultural Cold War by Francis
Stoner Saunders, has been a CIA front ever since the CIA was created
after WWII. Most of its early directors were themselves CIA officials.
MOMA is the Rockefeller family museum, yet it gets tax funds from the
City of NY. MOMA has repeatedly been sued for possessing art stolen
from Jews by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Roger Hertog, the
philanthropist repeatedly mentioned below, is the Chairman of the
Board of the Manhattan Institute (MI). MI is the think tank behind all
of Bush and Giuliani's most controversial policy ideas. Hertog also
runs Alliance Capital Management, which financed ENRON. MI was founded
by Reagan's CIA director, William Casey. Giuliani was the #3 man in
Reagan's Justice Dept and worked closely with Casey. Casey helped
bring thousands of former Nazi officials to the US after the war, many
of who were employed by the then new CIA. MI was financed by Chase
Bank, the Rockefeller family bank that helped finance Adolf Hitler.
Standard Oil, now known as EXXON, is the Rockfeller oil company that
is now the world's largest corporation, you know, the one ripping us
all off at the gas pump. Standard Oil was half owner of IG Farben, the
German pharmaceutical/chemical/munitions company that built and ran
Auschwitz and 40 other Nazi slave labor camps. Think I'm making this
stuff up? See the mainstream quotes at the end of the Crains article.
That's who's sponsoring NY's art.

Arts contributors may get big return
by Steve Garmhausen

Agnes Gund has spent much of the past five decades buying modern art
by the likes of Jasper Johns and Mark Rothko. But she has also given
scores of works away to the Museum of Modern Art.

"It could be because I feel guilty about having so much more than most
people," says MoMA's president emerita, who has contributed some 250
pieces to the museum. "If I can have it, others should be able to
enjoy it."

Ms. Gund, heiress to a Cleveland banking fortune, is the embodiment of
the New York City arts patron. Wealthy New Yorkers love to support
culture: As a group, the arts are the second-biggest recipient of
donations from local foundations, after educational charities, says
Kathleen McCarthy, director of the Center on Philanthropy and Civil
Society at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. The
arts trail education and health in most areas of the country.

Richard Marker, a philanthropy expert with Marker Goldsmith Advisors,
says, "People who give to the arts see it as supporting a national
treasure."

Such benefactors have a variety of motivations in deciding which
institutions they'll support. Altruism is one, but so is the desire
for prestige. Then there's the issue of who requests the help, says
Naomi Levine, who brought in more than $2 billion over 22 years as New
York University's chief fund-raiser.

"It depends very much on the priorities in your life, and it also
depends on who asks and gets you involved," Ms. Levine says.

For Ms. Gund, it was two friends who asked back in 1967. Though she
was just in her 20s and still in her native Ohio, Ms. Gund was already
a collector. The friends talked her into joining MoMA's international
council, which raises money for shows outside New York. After moving
here, Ms. Gund held a number of positions at the museum, including
president.

Choosing carefully

Ronald Ulrich, the chairman of Equinox Capital Management, is engaged
as a New York Philharmonic "Maestro" contributor--someone who has
committed $100,000 over three years.

"I've tended to be pretty closely involved when I've been a
significant donor," says Mr. Ulrich, who sits on the orchestra's
executive committee and heads the development panel. He sometimes
attends three or more meetings a week.

Others are less hands-on. Roger Hertog, vice chairman of investment
firm Alliance Bernstein, is on the board of the New-York Historical
Society and is a trustee of the New York Public Library, two of the
biggest recipients of the "many millions" that he and his wife, Susan,
give annually. "Many times just being an investor is good enough," Mr.
Hertog says. "You can't be involved in that many things and really
make a serious contribution."

Choosing among New York's cultural groups isn't easy, he says. The
ones he picks have strong leadership, a defined vision and a solid
plan to achieve their goals. Often, they match his personal interests.

Mr. Hertog is an American history buff, which helps explain his
support for the society. And he and his wife, both of whom grew up in
the Bronx, credit library branches with augmenting their public school
educations. The couple has more than returned the favor: They are the
main private donors behind the NYPL's $50 million Bronx Library
Center, which opened in January.

Whether donors accept public recognition varies. Some will, but only
for the good of the institution, says Francie Ostrower, senior
researcher at the Urban Institute and author of Why the Wealthy Give
and Trustees of Culture: Power, Wealth, and Status on Elite Arts
Boards.

"Some people will have their name associated because the organization
convinces them that it helps get other donors," Ms. Ostrower says.
"Other people need no convincing."

Several buildings at Mr. Ulrich's alma mater, Lehigh University, bear
his name, but he says he could take or leave the honor. Ms. Gund says
she, too, can do without the plaudits. MoMA's Agnes Gund Garden Lobby,
overlooking the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, was so
named at David Rockefeller's insistence, she explains.

And the Agnes Gund Artist's Choice Exhibition Fund, which allows
artists to curate shows from MoMA's collection, was endowed by her
four brothers to honor her service to the museum.

Nothing is named after Mr. Hertog, and he likes it that way. "I know
my own name," he says. "I'm interested in the vision, the leadership,
the plan, the ideas."


10.9% is the percentage of disposable income that city residents gave
away in 2003. According to a study of U.S. urban areas by the
Chronicle of Philanthropy, that level tied them with Fort Worth-area
residents as No. 2 in munificence, behind Detroiters, who donated
12.1%.

Philanthropists like Roger Hertog and Ronald Ulrich are not as
recognizable as high-profile names like David Rockefeller. Mr.
Rockefeller, the chairman emeritus of MoMA, announced last year that
his will would include a $100 million bequest to the institution. He
also plans to give the museum $5 million annually until his death.

  Daily News 12/7/98 Chase Banked On Nazis - Report
"The New York-based bank controlled by the Rockefeller
family closed Jewish accounts even before the Germans
ordered them to do so and did business with the Nazis while
they were sending Jews to the gas chambers, Newsweek
magazine reports in this week's edition. And while the U.S.
was at war with the Nazis, Chase also apparently helped
German banks do business with their overseas branches, the
magazine reported...The relationship between Chase and the
Nazis apparently was so cozy that Carlos Niedermann, the
Chase branch chief in Paris, wrote his supervisor in Manhattan
that the bank enjoyed "very special esteem" with top German
officials and "a rapid expansion of deposits." Niedermann's
letter was written in May 1942 -- five months after the
Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and the U.S. also went to war
with Germany...And subsidiaries of Ford and General Motors
have been accused of forcing thousands of Jews, Poles and
others to work as slave laborers."

The CIA and the Cultural Cold War by Frances Stonor Saunders,
"The CIA and its allies in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) poured vast
sums of money into promoting Abstract Expressionist (AE) painting and
painters as an antidote to art with a social content. In promoting AE,
the CIA fought off the right-wing in Congress. What the CIA saw in AE
was an "anti-Communist ideology, the ideology of freedom, of free
enterprise. Non-figurative and politically silent it was the very
antithesis of socialist realism" (254). They viewed AE as the true
expression of the national will. To bypass right-wing criticism, the
CIA turned to the private sector (namely MOMA and its co-founder,
Nelson Rockefeller, who referred to AE as "free enterprise painting.")
Many directors at MOMA had longstanding links to the CIA and were more
than willing to lend a hand in promoting AE as a weapon in the
cultural Cold War. Heavily funded exhibits of AE were organized all
over Europe; art critics were mobilized, and art magazines churned out
articles full of lavish praise. The combined economic resources of
MOMA and the CIA-run Fairfield Foundation ensured the collaboration of
Europe's most prestigious galleries which, in turn, were able to
influence aesthetics across Europe."

"Moma has even been outed as a front for the CIA in the 50s, when its
international touring shows of American art were supposedly little
more than Cold War propaganda exercises."
UK Guardianunlimited 8/29/2000

"Mayor Rudolph W. Guiliani pledged Thursday that the city would
contribute $65 million over the next three years to help pay for a
major expansion project at the Museum of Modern Art...Facing its huge
price tag, trustees from the museum's expansion committee, including
David Rockefeller, the real estate developer Jerry Speyer and Donald
Marron, the chairman of PaineWebber Inc., approached City Hall. Mr.
Rockefeller, whose mother, Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, was a founder of
the Modern, said the city money was "the financial cornerstone" of the
expansion. Of the remaining $585 million the museum must raise, he
said that about $200 million had been pledged by "the family and
trustees." Then he quickly added a qualifier: "When I say family, I
mean the museum family, not my family."

"During the war, Rockefeller foreshadowed the anticommunist policies
of the Cold War by cozying up to dictatorial regimes in Latin America.
Niccola Tucci, head of the State Departmentís Bureau of Latin American
Research, resigned and asked Secretary of State Cordell Hull to
abolish his bureau. "My bureau was supposed to undo the Nazi and
fascist propaganda in South America and Rockefeller was inviting the
worst fascists and Nazis to Washington." Tucci took his objections to
Rockefeller and was told: "Everybody is useful and weíre going to
convert these people to friendliness to the United States.mAnd then,

Chase Named In Holocaust-Asset Suit
"Two American banks were named in a class-action lawsuit yesterday
that accuses them of collaborating with the Nazis to deprive Jewish
depositors of their rightful assets. "They froze and blocked Jewish
accounts during the period of the Nazi occupation in France, depriving
Jewish families of the financial means to flee France," said attorney
Kenneth McCallion, who filed the suit against Chase Manhattan Bank,
J.P. Morgan and seven French banks. ...McCallion charges Chase's Paris
branch ó with full backing of its New York office ó displayed
"excessive zeal" in enforcing anti-Jewish laws and was held in "very
special esteem" by Vichy authorities. Court papers also say Chase
prospered under German occupation, nearly doubling its deposits
between 1942 and 1944 from 27 million to more than 50 million French
francs...Chase officials said in a statement that it has been in
settlement talks with the World Jewish Congress for several weeks and
that it was disappointed that an "unnecessary" lawsuit has been
filed."

"Chase Manhattan Corp. apologized yesterday for aiding Adolf Hitler's
Third Reich by converting German marks into U.S. dollars between 1936
and 1941. Because many countries refused to accept German currency
during the war, the Nazis used foreign banks like Chase National to
change the currency into money that would be accepted. "We are sad to
learn and deeply troubled about the involvement of one of our
predecessor banks in a program that benefited Germany during that
period," said William Harrison Jr., chief executive officer of Chase.
"We have a responsibility to make this information public and wish to
express our sincere apologies to the Jewish community and to the
American public." Chase does not, however, intend to make financial
reparations for the role it played in aiding Hitler and the Nazis."

"In 1936 the Rockefellers entered into partnership with Dulles's Nazi
front, the Schroder Bank of New York, which, as we have already seen,
was the key institution of the Fascist economic miracle. In 1939 the
Rockefeller-controlled Chase National Bank secured $25 million for
Nazi Germany and supplied Berlin with information on ten thousand Nazi
sympathizers in the United States. Except for a few months
interruption the Rockefeller-owned Standard Oil of New Jersey shipped
oil to the Nazis through Spain all throughout the war. The roster of
the Rockefellers known pro-Nazi behavior is horrendous. As previously
outlined, in 1942 Senator Harry Truman described the behavior of the
Rockefeller company as treasonous...On September 22, 1947, Federal
Judge Charles Clark issued the following opinion in a civil case:
"Standard Oil can be considered an enemy national in view of its
relationship with I.G. Farben after the U.S. and Germany had become
active enemies".

NOTE: My forwarding this or any other article does not mean I
necessarily endorse the viewpoint expressed therein. If the view
expressed below is true, it would explain many things about 9/11
including Giuliani's part in it.
Keep in mind, #7 was unquestionably brought down by explosives, or
pulled, to quote the owner and the FDNY. It housed the local
headquarters of the CIA, FBI and other Federal agencies. From the day
Giuliani first proposed putting his bunker there the question was, why
locate NYC's emergency command center in the building Federal
authorites most expected to be attacked by terrorists?

Former German Minister Says Building 7 Used To Run 9/11 Attack
Guide the planes in, then destroy the crime scene

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | April 21 2006

Former Helmut Schmidt cabinet member, 25-year German Parliamentarian
and global intelligence expert Andreas Von Bülow says that the 9/11
attack was run by the highest levels of the US intelligence apparatus
using WTC Building 7 as a command bunker which was later demolished in
order to destroy the crime scene.

Speaking to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network, Von Bülow
said that "the official story is so wrong, it must be an inside job."

Von Bülow discussed the special software programs that allow the CIA
to track suspicious stock market movements in real time. Record put
options placed on United and American Airlines in the week before
9/11, a speculation that the stock would crash, clearly indicated
inside foreknowledge of the impending attack.

"If the stock market has very strange movements immediately they take
care of this and they had a lot of tapes and the lawyers told the
people destroy these tapes."

"The Bush administration is in a deep defensive [mode] and probably
they would like to come out with a new offensive," said Von Bülow as
he considered whether a new staged false flag terror attack could be
launched to further an interventionist agenda.

"I would hope that one 'new Pearl Harbor' is enough," said Von Bülow,
"but I cannot be sure."

Von Bülow commented on the disputed identities of the named hijackers.

"The names of these nineteen [hijackers] never came up in the official
passenger list, until now there's no proof they were on the planes."

Von Bülow also pointed out how the alleged hijacker's flight
instructors told investigators that they couldn't even fly Cessna's,
never mind complex large commercial airliners.

Von Bülow also touched upon the implausible collapse of the buildings.

"The towers came down in the velocity of free fall which is totally
impossible, they fall down in 8, 9, or 10 seconds, the pancake theory
is ridiculous," he said.

Von Bülow also highlighted the fact that there were 67 successful
intercepts of errant aircraft in the year of 2001 before 9/11 and yet
four planes were allowed to veer wildly off course without any being
intercepted on that one day.

Rudolph Giuliani opened a $13 million emergency Command Center
(pictured) on the 23rd floor of World Trade Center Building 7 in June
1999 in part to respond to and manage terrorist attacks.

Von Bülow referenced the command bunker in Building 7, calling it the
"optimal place" to run the attacks using remote control technology to
guide the planes in and then destroying the crime scene by imploding
the building.

"There were two procedures, one was flying in the aircraft the second
was the explosions," he said.

When asked precisely which parties carried out the attack Von Bülow
said it must have been a "very small group" within the CIA with the
help of Saudi Arabian and Pakistani secret service intelligence.

Von Bülow outlined his view that one reason for the execution of 9/11
was to provide the justification for US military bases in the near and
Middle East to be built in anticipation for a future confrontation
with China, whom the Neo-Cons believe have grown too powerful and need
to have their geopolitical wings clipped.

Man Who Would be King: Director Kevin Keating Talks About Giuliani
Time

http://www.politicalaffairs.net/article/articleview/3257/1/162/

By Political Affairs

Editor's Note: Kevin Keating is director and co-producer of the
recently released Giuliani Time.

PA: When did you first think about doing this film?

KK: I didn't have the original idea. I was approached by a friend
and colleague in 1998, Michael Ratner, president of the Center for
Constitutional Rights. Ratner was alarmed at the situation with
Giuliani, and had a general idea for a film that examined Giuliani's
rapidly accumulating record of violations of individual and group
First Amendment rights. From the repeated New York police refusal of
permits for demonstrations, to the sweeping arrests of street
artists, Guiliani's legal position as chief executive (and the
lawyers at the corporation counsel defense of these policies), was a
radical departure from previous administrations.

We agreed to begin the research and commence shooting with a very
limited budget for a film to be completed within six months. It
quickly became obvious that First Amendment issues were too narrow a
focus. New policing practices then known as "quality of life"
policing became prominent and could not be excluded.

One of the first interviews we filmed was with William Bratton, the
first police commissioner under Giuliani. He had also headed the
then separate transit police under Mayor Dinkins, with great
success. Bratton had implemented the initial police "quality of
life" strategies predicated on a neoconservative theory of policing
known as "broken windows." He resigned after receiving too much
credit for the shift from screaming headlines about crime, to
adulation for a sharp drop in crime that had actually begun three
years before under David Dinkins. That interview took place in 1999,
three days after the police killing of Amadou Diallo. Events of
enormous importance occurred with a strange regularity almost weekly
from then on: the "Sensation" exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum (and
Giuliani's bizarre attempt to have the museum evicted), the
draconian implementation of "workfare," and the destruction of the
World Trade Center and Giuliani's elevation to a kind of secular
sainthood in 2001.

Eventually, it would take over five years to shoot over 300 hours of
film, and screen and edit hundreds of hours of network and archival
footage driven by the variety and complexity of the issues. In
addition the publication of Wayne Barrett's invaluable investigative
biography, Rudy, provided an enormous amount of data along with the
revelations of Giuliani's family criminal history and the startling
possibility that he may well have deceived the FBI in the original
backround check when first interviewed for work in the criminal
division of the Justice Department. A long difficult journey from
the limited scope of the original idea.

PA: Why did you select a film on Rudy Guiliani and not Ed Koch, a
very controversial mayor; or David Dinkins, the first African
American mayor in NYC?

KK: While both Ed Koch and David Dinkins are interesting subjects,
and both are in our film, we were surrounded by a barrage of
controversies that Giuliani generated from the moment he was
elected. One of the components of the film that will be of
historical value is that we were present and filming events as they
unfolded.

We were able to capture footage so that we could bringing a
deeper "social change" documentarian predisposition and emphasis to
the approach of the subjects we were rendering on film, for
instance, the demonstrations responding to the police killing of
Amadou Diallo. Relying on network news footage, particularly at the
local level is extremely constricting, as that material is loaded
with the ideological biases of the corporate media, and largely
limited only to material that was broadcast at the time.

So it was not a matter of choosing among recent mayors, but rather
focusing on Giuliani's dramatic multi faceted controversies and
choosing among them.

PA: You seemed to draw parallels between Giuliani and Ronald Reagan
and George Bush, yet the mayor has a reputation as being for
abortion and other issues which are not part of the Republican
president's agenda.



KK: Giuliani pronounces the battle between the great ideas of our
epoch as those between Roosevelt and Reagan. He chooses to be an
instrument for destroying the advances of the New Deal. Unlike other
leading lights of the right wing of the Republican party, he is a
product of an urban environment. The era of a kind of social
democratic, working-class-oriented national and local government
that was at its apex in New York City when Giuliani was born to a
workingclass family in Brooklyn in 1944. There were Communists like
Vito Marcantonio on the City Council. LaGuardia as mayor had a
friend in Roosevelt, and participated actively in implementing the
New Deal, from the WPA programs to free health care provided by the
city. Giuliani was a product of that progressive era, and describes
being an enthusiastic Democrat from high school through Manhattan
College where he had a column in the newspaper titled Ars Politica,
regularly attacking conservative Barry Goldwater and supporting
Kennedy. He claims he was ardently against the war on Vietnam, and
even voted for Democrat George McGovern in 1972. It wasn't until
1980 that he registered as a Republican just before going to work in
the Reagan administration. He had been in the criminal division of
the Justice Department for years earlier beginning during the Nixon
administration, and very ambitious, associating with powerful
Republicans like Judge Harold Tyler, who took him under his wing
very early on, and no doubt schooled him in the ways of going along
to get along in Washington. The ideological transformation may not
have been as complete. That is to say, even now, after essentially
welding himself to a proudly fundamentalist Christian, George Bush,
he still claims to be "pro-choice" and not anti gay. He oversaw the
implementation of the changes to civil service protections of health
benefits for same-sex couples who are city workers for instance. I
have no doubt that should he have to choose between attachments to
those liberal principals and his life-long ambition to becoming
president, we will witness a repeat of his bizarre attempt to evict
the Brooklyn Museum.

PA: You point out the contradictions between Giuliani's father's
crime connections and his seemingly lying about knowing about them.
Why didn't the press pursue this?

KK: With the publication of Wayne Barrett's incredible book his
amazing discoveries about the criminal histories of Giuliani's
father Harold Giuliani, his uncle and a cousin who was killed by the
FBI, the tabloid press, even incredibly, the Giuliani organ the New
York Post, did briefly trumpet headlines like "HIS MOB KIN." By that
time he had pulled out of the race for the Senate, ostensibly
because of his recently diagnosed prostate cancer. The public was
exhausted with Giuliani and he was nothing more than a lame duck,
and a rather deflated one at that. The follow-up by the press was
weak, with little interest, of course, until the events of September
11, 2001, and his ascension to super hero status as the press in
unison genuflected before his "bravery and leadership."

PA: How does the Manhattan Institute tie in with the mayor? What are
its corporate ties?

KK: The Manhattan Institute is an influential conservative
foundation formed by William Casey, Reagan's director of the CIA in
the late 1950's. It has connections to the Pioneer Fund, a shadowy,
extremist right-wing funding source, that publishes racist,
eugenicist propaganda similar to the John Birch Society.

With lavish financial support from the usual reactionary sources
like the Mellon-Scaife, Bradley and other corporate foundations,
they publish books like The Bell Curve, and Fixing Broken Windows. A
lavishly produced periodical City Journal is the venue for many neo
conservative authors writing about urban policies from policing to
ending welfare. We had the pleasure of interviewing a number of them
for the film, including Myron Magnet the publisher, and I think they
contribute some colorful and controversial notions of governing from
their proudly declared support of a "tycoonism" led state to the
observation that "hunger is not a problem in our country, obesity
is." Giuliani was schooled at Manhattan Institute after his defeat
by Dinkins, and proudly implemented many of the ideas promulgated by
the Manhattan Institute and continues to declare how important his
exposure to their writers and publications are to his political
positions.

PA: In your film the police union seems to have taken a 180 degree
turn from support to opposition.

KK: After convincing themselves it was the NYPD rank and file who
deserved most of the credit for the widely reported drop in crime,
at the end of Giuliani's term they still didn't have a contract. He
pulled the same anti union tactics he did with the teachers' union
and with others. If they didn't allow themselves to be bought, like
AFSME's DC-37 under Hill, they were dismissed out of hand. The
lubrication provided by enormous increases in overtime covered with
the rubric of "quality of life policing" finally overcame them and
they were face to face with the most anti labor mayor in recent
history.

PA: Former school chancellor Rudy Crew along with Bratton seem to
come out against him. Why hasn't this changed the mythology?

KK: What comes to mind when you hear the name Teddy Roosevelt? The
most chauvinist, militarist and imperialist president since Polk
invaded Mexico, and somehow one doesn't recollect the names of the
luminaries like Mark Twain who were active in the Anti-Imperialist
Society, that was broadly popular with the American people of the
late 1900's. While in the film Bratton soundly condemns Giuliani
for "breaking the back of the NYPD," and retarding the suppression
of crime strategies he felt would be successful, or being "tone-deaf
when it comes to issues of race," everyone has moved on. I think the
same is true of Chancellor Crew, who was forced out after refusing
to go along with the mayor's efforts to privatize schools with a
voucher plan. His comments about Giuliani's essential "pathology"
when it comes to issues of race I think are some of the most
powerful, and important ideas expressed in the film.

It will take some enormous negative revelations of information,
facts regarding Giuliani's actual leadership for the conventional
wisdom to be altered about his "heroic" role that day.

My thoughts exactly.
How is it possible for New Yorkers to be so compliant and supine ...
while knowing that they have been used as bloody props in the hoax of
the century ?

How degraded and impotent they must feel ...
Especially the huge numbers of prostituted firemen, cops and city
workers who know the truth about what happened on 9/11 ....

If they even pause for a moment in thought, in self-conscious
reflection of their situation, having to acknowledge such submission
to corrupt authority, and pure humiliation ...
plus the large numbers of sick and dying from the longer-term effects
of the demolitions ....

Imagine how those New Yorkers must be rationalizing their continuing
tolerance of him; let alone the public and media rituals of adoration
over his "heroism"; Giuliani now fabulously wealthy, fattened by an
endless gravy train of "Homeland Security" consulting contracts.

And all those New Yorkers had to do was let themselves be USED as
passive props in a giant staged pyro-technic display, complete with
exploding skyscrapers and falling bodies.

Not REAL PEOPLE (with the real emotional affect of outraged victims),
but rather, mute objects - moving props and stage "extras" ...
shuffling off to the rest of their enslaved lives.

hey friends,

check out www.giulianitime.com Get Involved page - we posted some
banners and the trailer.

Also, the "Draft Rudy" campaign sent out an Action Alert on Monday
asking for money donation to combat "GIULIANI TIME" - there's a link
to the action alert posted on our website.

We have sent the following release out:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 17, 2006


"Draft Rudy" Campaign Goes on the Attack Against "Giuliani Time"
Campaign Group Issues `Action Alert' Calling For Donations to Launch
A Campaign to Expose Inaccuracies in Film


LOS ANGELES – With a month to go before the release of "Giuliani
Time," Giuliani  backers have put out an email Action Alert calling
for subscribers "to launch an effective campaign to expose the
inaccuracies in "Giuliani Time" and defend America's Mayor,"
following the announcement of the documentary's theatrical release
plans last week.  On Monday, Allen Fore, co-founder of the Draft Rudy
For President, NFP (www.draftrudygiuliani.com) based in Chicago,
Illinois, called for campaign donation of "$20, $200, or $2,000...to
combat and expose this propaganda that is being disguised as a
documentary."

Plans for the film's theatrical release were announced last week.
National news outlets including the New York Times, New York Post and
MSNBC's "The Situation" with Tucker Carlson along with New York
regional media such as the Daily News, WCBS, NY1's "Inside City Hall"
and WABC covered the story extensively.  Patrick Healy of the New
York Times called the film "Nothing less than a full frontal assault
on the civic deification of Rudolph W. Giuliani."  David
Saltonstall's column in the New York Daily News opines that the
film "seeks to do for Giuliani what Michael Moore's `Farenheit 9/11'
did for President Bush." The New York Post took aim at the "leftie
flick."  Director Kevin Keating was interviewed live on MSNBC's "The
Situation" with Tucker Carlson, on WCBS by Andrew Kirtzman, TV
journalist and author of "Emperor of the City," one of the first
books on Giuliani's term as mayor, and on "Inside City Hall" by
Dominic Carter, who covered City Hall during Giuliani's reign.

In the Action Alert, the "Draft Rudy" organization claims the
film "tries to distort reality and ruin the reputation of an American
hero."  Keating's film analyzes Giuliani's family history, his
disastrous record on the First Amendment, the use and abuse of
government powers and the severe methods he employed to enforce the
Quality of Life and Zero Tolerance campaigns in New York City. In
making the film, director Kevin Keating researched the film for four
years, shot approximately 300 hours of footage and culled through
another  200 hours of network and archival footage. The filmmakers
interviewed key people who worked with Giuliani's administration as
well as long-time Giuliani advocates from the Manhattan Institute
(Myron Magnet and  Heather McDonald), George Kelling and Fred
Siegel.   The film features interviews with former New York City
Police Commissioner William S. Bratton, former New York City School
Commissioner Rudy Grew, and Wayne Barrett, the Village Voice's Senior
Editor who has written extensively on Giuliani ("Rudy!: An
Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani").  "The movie does track
sections from my book," says Barrett.  "When the book came out in
2000, it was covered extensively by the media and Giuliani was
challenged directly about what the book revealed.  None of the facts
presented in the book were questioned by Giuliani."

The film will open in New York at the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema on
May 12 and widen to select theaters across the country. Cinema Libre
Studio has worldwide rights.  For more information about the film

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 10, 2006

'Giuliani Time' Exposes the Real Face of "America's Mayor"

Explosive Documentary to Be Released as the 2008 Presidential Race Heats Up

With May 12 Premiere in New York

LOS ANGELES – Rudy Giuliani, former New York City Mayor, is the "hottest" politician in the country, according to a recent Quinnipiac poll. Director Kevin Keating's shocking documentary, "Giuliani Time," will premiere in New York at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on May 12, 2006, and widen thereafter, following successful runs at the Rotterdam, Sydney, New Zealand, and Vancouver International Film Festivals. Cinema Libre Studio has acquired worldwide rights and will be releasing the title on DVD in September 2006.

Utilizing a range of personalities and experts from high-level city officials to community activists, lawyers and politicians, Keating's film analyzes TIME Magazine's 2001, "Person of the Year," his family history, his disastrous record on the First Amendment, his use and abuse of government powers and the severe methods he employed to enforce the Quality of Life and Zero Tolerance campaigns in NYC.

The film's carefully developed revelations in "Giuliani Time" contrast sharply with the image portrayed by the Draft Rudy Giuliani for President Campaign (www.draftrudy.com) as the man "who held the city of New York together and helped strengthen America's resolve," as well as the mayor who "returned accountability to city government and improved the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Under Mr. Giuliani's leadership, New York City became the best-known example of the resurgence of urban America."

Wayne Barrett, Senior Editor of the Village Voice, featured in the film, says "It's in the bloodstream of New Yorkers…. And apparently, it is now even in the bloodstream of Americans, this mythology that Rudy Giuliani single handedly…superhero…conquered crime in New York City."  "Giuliani Time" contributes significantly to the historical record by disclosing disturbing facts about his history that conscientious voters from across the political spectrum should take into consideration.

The film began when a prominent constitutional lawyer approached Keating's company, K Video Productions, concerned about Giuliani's restrictions on free speech and his fractious relationship with the media. "The project started as a short film to explore the dynamics and tensions in issues around the First Amendment," says Keating. "But as would be the case repeatedly over the following years, dramatic events unfolded around us, necessitating the need to render a comprehensive document of the time." "Giuliani Time" took 5 years to complete. It's a wild ride of political ambition and amnesia, alternate realities, wars of perception and dramatic, even cataclysmic, events.

Cinema Libre Studio, the independent studio known for distributing socially conscious titles, will handle distribution.  "It is crucial that Americans are given access to as much factual information about their political leaders as possible in order to vote intelligently," says Richard Castro, Head of Theatrical Distribution at Cinema Libre Studio.  "This film reveals a side of Rudolph Giuliani that most of us have been unaware of or afraid to publicly address."

The film will open in New York at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on May 12 and play in select theatres across the country.

Cinema Libre Studio is a haven for independent filmmakers with views, offering one-stop shopping for production, co-production, distribution, marketing, and post-production services. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the company is best known for distributing in theaters and on DVD titles that include "Outfoxed," "Uncovered," "Drowned Out," Tim Robbin's "Embedded Live," "POPaganda" and "Through the Fire."  Several Cinema Libre Studio productions are currently in festivals, including "Conventioneers," nominated for the 2006 Independent Spirit `John Cassavetes' award, and "The Empire in Africa," winner for Best Documentary at Slamdance 2006.
