The Rev. Al Sharpton Is Not Having a Good Week!

First Eric Gardner’s daughter Erica, went on camera exposing the founder of NAN (The National Action Network), as “Being all about the money“. Erica, whose father was the chokehold victim by Staten Island police, also complained that the Staten Island director of Sharpton’s National Action Network, Cynthia Davis, scolded her for handing out street fliers about her father’s case that did not include NAN’s logo.

Now in another bombshell revelation about the good right Rev. Al Sharpton, The National Association of African-American Owned Media claims, Comcast paid Sharpton and his National Action Network a cool $3.8 million dollars — so that he wouldn’t complain about the lack of black cable TV programming.

The Cable giant is suing Sharpton siting, that the activist would keep his $750,000-a-year gig as host on MSNBC which it co-owns even as his ratings slump and his ratings are slumping. However Sharpton was paid cash donations in exchange for not screaming about Comcast lack of solely black-owned channels.

The lawsuit — decrying the proposed merger between Comcast and Time Warner — said that Comcast carries just one completely black-owned channel, The Africa Channel, and that Time Warner is no better.

The group’s allegations of payouts also factor in Sharpton’s TV salary, which he has been receiving since starting to host MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” in 2011, the suit says.

Sharpton says, “the lawsuit is frivolous at best” but it seems he’s made a lot of enemies on his ride to easy street.

Al Sharpton, Rape, Sandy Rubenstein

The woman behind the rape allegations against Sandy Rubenstein is Iasha Rivers (pictured left) and she is NOT a top aide in the Sharpton administration as being reported in the media however, the woman does and/or DID have ties to the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Sources close to the CEO Blog with former ties to the Sharpton administration confirmed that, Sharpton was not only romantically tied at one point to Rivers in the past but he also secured her current position with Macys as their Director of External Affairs and Corporate Communications.

Rivers is also named on the Board of Directors at the National Action Network.

Seems as though the good, right Rev. Al Sharpton looked out for all the woman he’s had ties too at some point romantically, making sure he secured their permanent positions as trade-offs through his corporate rivals. 

Since the rape allegations has surfaced from a former lover against his pal Rubenstein, Sharpton is doing all he can to distance himself from the scandal by supposedly cutting ties with the swanky attorney. All apart of his efforts to distance himself from this public played drama. He’s making sure that as the shit starts to sling, none gets flung on him.

After all, Al Sharpton has assisted Rubenstein by making sure he secured every civil rights case against the city of New York, so we can only imagine how their secrets must run deep. Especially since Rubenstein was initially just “a work injury lawyer”.  

Stay tuned as this very public drama play out before our eyes.

I chose to air the name and face of the alleged rape victim in this case because my blog is in the business of disseminating news, not suppressing it. Names and facts are news. They add credibility to stories and give viewers and/or readers information.

Al Sharpton, Rape

Sharpton aide cries rape!

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.
