Mayor Bloomberg approves of undercover officers and campaign staff attending meetings of political groups, posing as sympathizers or fellow activists, racial profiling, and infiltrating chat rooms.

How come the Control Queen Bloombo Dicto can't explain the location of the missing campaign funds ?
While Michael Bloomberg was on an unprecedented spending spree to buy his ill-fated th3rd t3rm as mayor of New York City, among the millions he spent out of his own pocket was $1.2 million, which he gave to the Independence Party.
Of that $1.2 million, supposedly $750,000 was paid to John Haggerty, yet the lesser amount has turned up missing.
How can a mayor, who has control-queen issues, not know where his millions of dollars are going ?
The mayor, who infiltrates activist groups and spies on political opponents, is not admitting anything publicly, because the Manhattan district attorney's office is probing the electioneering payments.
The mayor doesn't like discussing the subject of the class action sexual harassment case against him and his company.
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's power base is now in question -- following her close association with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his controversial push for third term extensions.
Bloomberg tricked Quinn into doing his dirty work on extending term limits, and then left her out to fend herself against voter anger. More evidence of his bias against women.
Q. Are the sexual harassment issues that are being brought against Bloomberg L.P. recent, or were they prior to his terms as mayor? If they are later than 2002 hasn’t he divested himself from any active role in the company and should it not be a relevant issue? If events occurred during his company stewardship, that is a different matter and should be brought to bear in the current campaign. Would you comment on this subject? — Posted by Ned Brody
A. A complicated subject. Mr. Bloomberg and his company faced three sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuits when he was still in charge of Bloomberg L.P. One suit, by a woman who charged Mr. Bloomberg with snapping “Kill it!” when she told him she was pregnant, claimed that he and other company executives subjected women to “repeated and unwelcome” sexual comments and overtures. That suit was settled the year before Mr. Bloomberg became a mayoral candidate. He did not admit guilt, and the plaintiff accepted an undisclosed sum and agreed to remain forever silent. A second harassment suit was dropped because of legal blunders by the woman’s lawyer, and a third was withdrawn after the plaintiff’s husband, another Bloomberg employee, pleaded guilty to stealing from the company.
The domestic surveillance operation during the 2004 Republican National Convention
A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TIME, RESOURCES, AND ENERGY WERE SPENT ON THE DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM THAT MAYOR BLOOMBERG OPERATED DURING THE 2004 REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION.
"For more than a year before the convention, the Police Department monitored Web sites and sent undercover detectives around the nation to collect information on Bush opponents planning to demonstrate in New York. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg has said the operation helped keep order. " The New York Times, April 3, 2007
WHAT RESULTED FROM THE DOMESTIC SPYING PROGRAM AGAINST THE PROTESTERS WERE THE ARRESTS OF 1,800 PEOPLE FOR DOING NOTHING OTHER THAN TAKING PART IN THE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH AND HIS WAR IN IRAQ.
"Mr. Bloomberg's popularity is high, but his handling of protesters to the 2004 Republican National Convention, when thousands of demonstrators were swept off the streets and detained, is a black mark on his record for many New Yorkers and civil libertarians." -- The New York Times
