Sanford Rubenstein (pictured right and inset) is a prominent New York attorney and he’s being accused of allegedly raping a 42-year-old official of the National Action Network after the victim (pictured left with her face covered) accompanied the lawyer to his apartment after Rev. Al Sharpton’s birthday celebration at the Four Season’s Restaurant last Thursday.

Rubenstein who is not only a member of Sharpton’s National Action Network but a prominent lawyer and good friend who’s joined at the hip with the civil rights activist, winning racially fueled cases in the sum of millions against the city once their cases settle. Rubenstein has the reputation of being a “pit-bull” in the court room.

The victim, a 42 year old mother and top aide in Sharpton’s administration escorted the prominent lawyer back to his apartment along with her girlfriend. In her inebriated state, she allegedly asked her girlfriend to leave the apartment as she stayed behind. The next morning after having had sex with Rubenstein a second time, the victim left his upscale penthouse and went straight to police.

In the meantime, Rubenstein vehemently denies the allegations and concedes that the sex between the two was consensual. Of course it was consensual, what woman escorts a man up to his penthouse in the wee hours of the morning for a coffee clutch she and a girlfriend? The victim apparently felt comfortable enough to go this far. And being Sharpton’s aide I’m sure this was not the first time the victim has come in contact with the prominent attorney.

I not only smell a rat but I think this is a setup. Time will tell.

Al Sharpton, NYC Police, Police, Police brutality

Rev. Al Sharpton displayed as N.Y.P.D. commissioner in fake police ID

Police Commissioner Sharpton? Cops have passed around the fake ID and posted it on Twitter.

Seems the New York City police are UPSET since the Eric Garner choke-hold death on July 27th.

They are so PISSED at the Rev. Al’s involvement that they’ve created a mock-up Police Department ID card featuring a picture of the Rev. under the title “Police Commissioner”. The fake ID has been making its rounds among city cops.

Apparently cops are MAD because of what they perceive as the civil rights activist’s sway over the mayor in the wake of Eric Garner’s death, so they have shared this fake ID in an email and also posted it on Twitter.

The fake card, mimics standard N.Y.P.D. ID and bears a picture of Sharpton underneath the top cop title and police seal.

The cops are extremely peeved because Sharpton, who we all know is the head of National Action Network, took Mayor De Blasio and real-life Police Commissioner Bill Bratton to task during a City Hall summit after Garner’s choke-hold death on July 27.

In addition, the friend of Eric Garner who made the video of Garner’s death known by giving the video to media outlets and exposing a failed attempted cover-up, has since been arrested on gun charges. Coincidence? I think NOT, especially since the gentlemen says, “The cops have been following him every since the incident” 

Eric Garner’s death has since been ruled a homicide and Officer Daniel Pantaleo, who is accused of using the banned choke-hold on the 43-year-old father of six, has been stripped of his gun and badge and put on desk duty pending an investigation.

Dr. Cornel West Calls Al Sharpton “The Bonafide House Negro Of The Obama Plantation”

Dr. Cornell West is apparently pissed off with Al Sharpton’s new position and transformation of image as a Civil Rights Leader.

West likened Al Sharpton to a slave in response to his speech delivery during the 50th Anniversary Ceremony of the historic March on Washington earlier this week.

Public intellectual Cornel West tore into many of this week’s speeches surrounding the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s “I Have a Dream” speech, accusing everyone from President Obama to Rev. Al Sharpton of “sanitizing” Dr. King’s vision.

“Brother Martin himself, I think, would’ve been turning over in his grave,” West said of the event. “[King would have wanted] people to talk about Wall Street criminality, he wants people to talk about war crimes, or drones dropping bombs on innocent people,” he asserted.

“Instead,” he lamented, “we saw the coronation of the bonafide house negro of the Barack Obama plantation, our dear brother Al Sharpton.” West went further declaring that Sharpton’s decline was “supported by [MSNBC analyst] Michael Dyson and others who’ve prostituted themselves in a very ugly and vicious way.”

West and Tavis Smiley both lamented that black leadership has become “so sold-out” so as not to have the courage to be a “bull in the china shop,” break rank, and talk about “racism, poverty, and militarism” at an otherwise “bought-out” event.

It doesn’t get more disrespectful than a black high-profile public figure comparing President Obama’s administration to that of a slave plantation.

Wow!!! I must admit Sharpton being Obama’s bullet proof vest is extremely annoying, always going on the defense for the president against his adversaries. Sharpton has switched positions all in the name of MSNBC and the almighty dollar.

“No Justice ~ No Peace” does Al Sharpton even own it anymore?

Al Sharpton, Alton Maddox, Law and order, Steven Pagones, Tawana Brawley

So Tawana Brawley lied!

The ReadyWriter

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

We all remember this case that stayed in the news and pushed Al Sharpton to the forefront as an activist.

In 1987, Tawana Brawley the then 15-year-old teen who falsely accused former New York prosecutor Steven Pagones, 52, of gang raping and kidnapping her, while naming him a racist.

Brawley had been well hidden and alluding the scandal by living in rural town in Virginia under the alias of Tawana Thompson and Tawana Gutierrez. Well Tawana has been ordered to pay Mr. Pagones $431,000 in damages, which Brawley sent him her first payment in ten (10) checks totaling $3,764.61 last week. This comes after a Virginia court ordered the money garnished from Brawley’s wages as a nurse.

This payment comes 15 years after a court ruled that Brawley defamed Pagones with a nasty hoax that ruined his life and sullied his reputation.

Brawley’s advisers in the case; the Reverend Al Sharpton, and attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox have already paid, or are paying their debt to Pagones. Until now, Brawley, 41, has refused to pay out but she is now forced to cough up $627 each month to the man who is one of three whose name she dragged through the mud in 1987.

Brawley will possibly pay this debt to Pagones for the rest of her life however, he is willing to drop the debt owed by Brawley if she would simply confess that she lied on him. Pagones also made note how, Sharpton and his crew have not spoken about this case since the outcome. I’m sure all men involved realize that Brawley made a fool out of them all.

Sharpton-girlfriend

Seems the The civil rights activist and MSNBC star, 58, is dating 35-year-old Aisha McShaw. The newly couple have been seen booed up at important political events and special occasions including the White House Correspondents Dinner in April and President Obama’s holiday party in December.

McShaw who’s dubbed herself a “personal stylist” looks young enough to be Sharpton’s daughter.

The decades-younger main squeeze of the good right rev., arrived in a form-fitting black and white dress with a sharp-suited Sharpton at the New York County Democratic Committee Award Ceremony on Monday night. When a Daily News reporter asked her to define her relationship with the civil rights powerhouse she said; “I’m his girlfriend” before Sharpton intervened and snatched her away from the reporter.

Al Sharpton, 58, is dating 35-year-old Aisha McShaw, a 'personal stylist' from Westchester.

Sharpton’s relationship with McShaw appears to be the most serious one he’s had since separating from his wife Kathy in 2004 after 24 years of marriage.

This relationship for McShaw, is clearly about three things: money, power and prestige because with Sharpton’s weight-loss who could stomach everything dropped, droopy and jiggling.
