It's interesting that a Democratic Mayor .. in a heated race against a Republican component... has an FBI tap in his office.

"Street's campaign suggested the bugging was instigated by the U.S. Justice Department (news - web sites) for political reasons. "

Our government bugging people to keep ahead politically?

Am I the only one that sees something very WRONG here?

Quote from the article:

"Do we believe that the Republican Party, both at the federal level and state level, is pulling out every stop to get Pennsylvania in 2004? Absolutely," Keel said. "Is the Republican Party capable of dirty tricks? I think that is well-documented."

I've been following it and reading up on it.

What conclusions have you come to Fletch?

Using your own family pictures was just plain wrong. I hope you feel bad.

Squirtit,

Do you know anything about Street's pass and present dealings?

Doubt the wiring taps had anything to do with politics like watergate but I could be wrong.
:)

I don't know of his past dealings.... but I do know that a wire tap durring a HEATED public election.. Dem vs Rep and the Dem. runner has a bug in his headquarters? The Bush administration has been SO shady.. it just gets worse and worse.

Do you know anything about Streets dealings? Is he being marked a terrorist or something?

a couple of hours later... reaction to this major event:

Dirty tricks?

I'd call you a board spammer.
:thumbsup

You should get back to the bedroom.. I hear your girlfriend calling your name! http://www.baconstrip.net/_content/g...s/theirmom.jpg

The "good" mayor is know to have been involved with Muslim charities which are tied to hamas, therefore the FBI wants to know how "friendly" the mayor is with hamas....
No one is above the law.

A board spammer doesn't stay on GFY answering posts :thumbsup

scary stuff, what's worse is the general lack of giving a fuck by the adverage american these days... it's like the govt could go on a free for all and no one would care...

well isn't that thier job... to know what everybody is doing?

It is scary really.... I'm not an alarmist and I know that nothing like this would probably ever happen to me.. but I can say that I'm concerned for the future of my kids.

Being a citizen of a country doesn't mean your private life is open to the government.. the government doesn't OWN the people.... the people OWN the government.. we should be tapping their offices and seeing what's going on!

If I was there I'd be extremely uncomfortable. That's beyond political opposition. That's outright interference.

No it isn't the governments job to know what everybody is doing.... it is also not the governments job to keep taps on a Dem. official instead of a Rep. official. It's very suspicious.. and I'm sure it will come out that they think he's a terrorist of some sort and will quote the patriot act as support for their actions.

I'm right with you LadyMischief....

Funny now this ties in with your patriot act thread! Thread Here

I find it interesting that this whole story is coming out the way it is. Strange

Street has been involved with numerous shady figures in the Philadelphia community.

He has most of his family on the payroll, his brother was awarded a no-bid multimillion dollar contract to provide baggage services at the Philadelphia airport. His brother has no experience, no staff and only a LLC name just as most of us have for our businessness.

Street's wife has a 92k a year job on the Philadlephia School board. No prior experience in the School board.

Street has numnerous properities in North Philadelphia ( most blighted section) that he himself hasnt paid property taxes on.

He has depleted city coffers with his safe streets ideas of runnign drug dealers from fishtown / kennsington in the ghetto to now make the far northeast, which was once 100k homes only 10 years ago now become a ghetto wasteland of section 8.

Needless to say, he hasnt bothered to see that business of all sorts are leaving the city in droves per the 4.5 city wage tax.

and that he wanted to put a multi-billion dollar stadium in the center of chinatown regadless that there is no parking and the most congested area of Philadelphia there now.

What about when Sam Katz's campgain HQ had a molotov cocktail tossed in the windows last month?.....

Why is it that arrests are at an all time low in Philadelphia for violent crimes?

Why is it that Street has taken money for his campgain from CONVICED drug dealers that were dealing in 50k a week in dope only months before?

Why is it that Philadelphia has record amounts of empty office buildings as the suburbs fill to capacity since he wont give a wage tax break?

Why is it that our Govenor, Ed Rendell ( former mayor) had to basically tell street that he was going to cut all state funding if all union issues at the convention center werent resolved.

There are only the things that we know about. Street is a total and utter diaster on my hometown. I wanted to move back to Philly and get a phat loft, not until that racist bastard is gone.

FUCK YOU JOHN STREET YOU ASSHOLE

i'm not an american but based on what i hear americans want thier governement to keep an eye on everyone... if you disagree with the governement keeping an eye on everyone, i agree with you ;-)

Now there's a great post! Thank you Herb! A local that know more to the story. I have to look more into the facts behind your post .. not knowing the history that you reference. I'm sure that he will not be re-elected if he's doing so poorly. Does anything you mention above warrant an FBI bug? I thought local police would be involved in these issues... which of course they aren't because they are the ones that found the bug! This story gets stranger and stranger!

:thumbsup

You should see Street on the news at Night, he is seriously terrified of this incident. The cheif of police was on with him, Neither one of them coudnt stop stuttering and stammering.

They are running scared hardcore, never have I seen 2 men look this terrified on TV. They know that the funky shit they are sitting on is going to come out.

Street keeps saying on TV, he has nothing to be afraid of, no idea why the bug was there, he is not involved in any investigation that he is aware of.

No shit. The FBI doesnt tell you that you are being watched asshole.

Street may be re-elected since he is black and Katz is white. That is what it always seems to come down to. Black or white.

Not qualifications. Katz is a head of many business organizations here in philly, has a outstanding record of brining business to the area only to get fucked up by the political machine. Katz made money and brought biz to the table.

Why have someone that has no experience have another chance?

I am not a fan of katz, but, I'd vote for my dog before Street.

The Philadelphia FBI headquarters are 6 blocks from City Hall where John Street is. I hope they take him and nail him by his greedy, self serving, moronic sorry ass excuse filled balls.

Are you aware that the FBI frequently wire taps those that they suspect of breaking Federal Law?

It hasn't come out yet why the wire tap was authorized... or if it was authorized.

Homeland Security? :helpme

Squirtit, without knowing about Street's history or present actions, I doubt if I would be so vocal. :)

www.kyw.com - our local news here.....

This is clearly Republican's pushing to find the dirt on a Dem which is probably there to be found. Whether it was a court authorized tap is the big question.

When I lived in Philly Frank Rizzo was Mayor and he was da man!

Thank you for your concern SureFire. This thread was instigated because of a story released earlier today. Police found the wires in the Mayors office. The FBI admitted to puting the wires there. The FBI has some explaining to do.

The Mayors' history isn't the point of my thread, though is history is very suspect. The fact that his office was wired and the FBI admitted to it begs the question as to why. With the current administrations history, I think the answer to that question is very important indeed.

CIA agencies being outed, wire taps, internal documents preaching world domination..... not a good combination.

The FBI has said it placed the bugs and is a federal corruption probe...as reported on tonights news.

Mayor Street is the worst. I had some harsh words with him when I met him last month. Fortunately I caught myself before I bitchslapped him in front of everyone. He should be ashamed of himself for what he hasn't done for the city of Philadelphia.
