NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE THURSDAY: Andy Martin slams Goldman Sachs-Elena Kagan connection

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says Elena Kagan would be Goldman Sachs “Golden Girl” on the U. S. Supreme Court. Martin says Goldman Sachs paid Kagan $10,000 a day for her “advice,” to purchase potential influence peddling. “If she was for sale once,” Martin charges, “She will be for sale again. Kagan is Goldman’s Golden Girl on the U. S. Supreme Court. Goldman Sachs has been raping America using our own tax dollars. Now the U. S. Senate is going to put a Goldman agent of influence on our Supreme Court? This is insanity.”

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE THURSDAY

ANDY MARTIN SAYS ELENA KAGAN WOULD BE GOLDMAN SACHS’ “GOLDEN GIRL” ON THE U.S. SUPREME COURT

MARTIN LINKS GOLDMAN’S $1 MILLION CASH DONATION TO BARACK OBAMA AS THE PRICE GOLDMAN PAID TO PLACE KAGAN ON THE HIGH COURT

(NEW YORK)(May 13, 2010) ContrarianCommentary.com’s Executive Editor, Andy Martin, will hold a New York City news conference Thursday, May 13th in front of the Goldman Sachs headquarters at 200 West Street to call on Americans to tell the U. S. Senate not to confirm former Goldman “adviser” Elena Kagan to the U. S. Supreme Court.

“After Goldman Sachs has raped every American and sucked the blood out of our economy, to pay massive ‘bonuses’ to its greedy and arrogant employees over the past five years, why would senators vote to give Goldman Sachs a seat on the U. S. Supreme Court through Elena Kagan?

“Leftist media have tried to minimize or ignore the fact that Kagan was paid $10,000 per day for her ‘advice.’ No one is asking why Kagan accepted an obviously disproportionate payment--$10,000 per day—for her ‘services’ over the past several years, until she became a federal employee in 2009.

“Kagan was obviously not being paid for her advice. She was being paid to be on call as part of the corrupt network of potential influence peddlers that Goldman kept at the ready to work its evil will throughout the government. One columnist has said Kagan ‘knows everyone.’ She was obviously being paid and kept on retainer as a potential influence operative. Kagan was accepting grossly disproportionate compensation, $10,000 per day, precisely because she was available to be an enormously influential influence peddler through her network of contacts in the legal and business community. Kagan was for sale at $10,000 a pop. The Dean of Harvard Law School was for sale for $10,000 a day. Didn’t Harvard pay enough? Was Kagan greedy and arrogant too? For shame.

“Have Americans learned nothing? Why are we placing a corporate servant on the Supreme Court at a time when corporate America has disgraced and embarrassed our nation and ravaged our economy?

“Ironically, Goldman Sachs purchased influence with Barack Obama by giving him $1 million in campaign cash. Obama has now named a Goldman ‘adviser’ as a judge to sit in judgment on the contentious cases that are going to arise as America seeks to recover from the corporate rape of the century. But why would any senator vote to reward the rapist by placing the rapist's influence peddler on the Supreme Court? There is something wrong with our society when someone who took $10,000 a day from Goldman Sachs is rewarded with a seat on the Supreme Court, where she can continue to do Goldman's bidding.

“But, maybe not. Maybe the system is operating the way it is supposed to. We have the finest congress money can buy. Pretty soon we may have the finest Supreme Court Goldman Sachs can buy,” Martin will charge.

Martin is leading popular opposition to Elena Kagan, but focusing primarily on her closeted lesbian lifestyle and her links to Goldman Sachs. Friday Martin will hold a New York news conference to announce a new 24-hour hotline to counter Barack Obama’s pro-Kagan hotline in the White House. “We must defeat this nomination,” Martin says. “Goldman Sachs should not be allowed to continuously crucify America by purchasing a seat on the U. S. Supreme Court.”

Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin triggers a “lesbian explosion” over Elena Kagan

Why Elena Kagan’s closeted sexuality matters to the U. S. Senate and the American people:

Monday, May 10th Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin launched a campaign in New York to defeat Elena Kagan based on her closeted sexual orientation as a Harvard/Cambridge lesbian. Two days later Martin’s accusations have triggered a massive mainstream media explosion. Martin, whose powerful internet columns rocked the 2008 presidential election and triggered still-growing national movements about Barack Obama’s religion and birth certificate, has now targeted Kanan for defeat. Martin plans a Friday news conference in New York to announce a new anti-Kagan “hotline” in opposition to Barack Obama’s pro-Kagan hotline in the White House.

Why Elena Kagan’s “secret” sex life should matter to the U. S. Senate

Internet powerhouse Andy Martin says that Kagan’s lack of any familial connections other than her brothers leaves a gap that should be answered: who is she? Who influences her at home?

Martin’s New York City news conference on May 10th trigged a firestorm of mainstream media and talk radio reaction concerning Kagan’s sexuality

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


ANDY MARTIN SAYS ELENA KAGAN’S “SECRET LIFE” MATTERS AS U.S. SENATORS EVALUATE HER FOR CONFIRMATION

MARTIN’S EFFORTS TO OPEN AN INQUIRY INTO KAGAN’S SEXUALITY HAS CREATED A MAINSTREAM MEDIA FIRESTORM AND TALK RADIO TEMPEST

MARTIN SAYS KAGAN’S LESBIAN LIFESTYLE “AT HOME” IS AN INSIGHT INTO HER PERSONALITY AND THE INTERNALIZED INFLUENCES ON HER

KAGAN’S LACK OF HER OWN FAMILY IS SIGNIFICANT, MARTIN SAYS

(NEW YORK)(May 13, 2010) Who is Elena Kagan? No one knows. She appears to be a relentless, driven careerist with a single-minded determination to conceal herself from the public. Over the past three decades Kagan has worked in government without exposing either her policy or lifestyle views to anyone willing to comment. She is a cipher. Why? What was she afraid of?

Kagan’s lesbian lifestyle and sexual orientation may offer the answer. Because Kagan was a “closeted” lesbian, in a legal profession that was just beginning to accept women as attorneys, the bulk of Kagan’s personal life has been conducted and lived in virtual secrecy. Because she learned to live in secret as a lesbian she was forced to conduct virtually her entire professional life in secret as well.

ContrarianCommentary.com investigative activity has focused primarily on two issues: Kagan’s sexuality, and on her links to Goldman Sachs, where Kagan was paid $10,000 a day to be a “golden girl” adviser.

There is no doubt that Americans, and particularly politicians, are reluctant to talk about sexuality. But just in the past couple of years, sexuality and homosexuality have been at the center of numerous political/governmental scandals. Sexuality is not an insignificant factor. We have seen in recent years how a person’s inner life can influence and control that person's external actions. Politicians who are conducting surreptitious sexual lives invariably raise question about their public service as well.

The Washington Post has launched a major discussion of, and defense of, Kagan’s sexuality:

irrelevant_as.html?hpid=sec-religion

Wednesday evening Fox News host Bill O’Reilly was almost reading from the script of my Monday news conference on Kagan. He said Kagan’s sexuality was a “legitimate question” and raised the issue of gay marriage that I focused on. O’Reilly chose Sally Quinn, the doyenne of the Washington Post, as his guest and commentator. When asked if people were talking about Kagan’s lesbian lifestyle in Washington, Quinn answered “Are you kidding?” Obviously, everyone is. But why should we be concerned?

First of all, the canard that public officials are entitled to a “private” lifestyle is nonsense. Public officials trot out their privates when it suits their interests. What about when it suits our interests? Kagan is a blank slate to both the left and right.

Second, Kagan is not seeking a democratic mandate from the voters. She is seeking a confirmation by 100 individuals who will give her a lifetime appointment. This attenuated and indirect process cuts off any “public” campaign and any public inquiries through traditional political channels.

After the issue of Kagan’s sexuality was initially raised on a CBS news blog last month, ContrarianCommentary launched a preliminary investigation. As Kagan’s nomination approached we launched a more extensive inquiry from our temporary fighting camp in Honolulu. Since returning to New York and announcing at a news conference earlier this week our plans to concentrate on Kagan’s sexuality, we have been preparing to launch a major new investigation into Kagan’s past, all of which will be detailed on Friday, May 14th at a New York City news conference.

It is traditional that nominees for high government posts appear at confirmation hearings with their families: wives bring their husbands, and husbands their wives. Children are also produced. Kagan’s parents are dead; she has two brothers who work in New York, one of whom apparently became a socialist extremist. Will the brothers appear? Or will the nominee’s table be empty of any relatives or adult connections? Does Kagan share her life with anyone else? That is a reasonable question. Who?

Obviously we know and Kagan knows that Kagan is not “alone.” Why does Kagan treat her own personal life as though she is engaged in something “dirty” or immoral? If she is truly committed to the GLBT community, as she claimed to be when she threw military recruiters off her campus as a “moral” issue, why is she so afraid to produce her “partner” or “significant other” or whatever she calls the woman she shares her life with?

Kagan’s closeted lifestyle is not a conservative or liberal issue; it is not even a Republican or Democratic issue. It is an issue that provides an insight into her character, her attitudes towards social and familial issues, and her approach to the complex questions involving sexuality that are constantly before the courts. Liberals have as many questions about Kagan as conservatives. That is why ContrarianCommentary.com is pressing ahead with our extensive investigations.

That is why Elena Kagan’s closeted sexual orientation and lesbian lifestyle should matter to senators. Lacking any record of individual professional accomplishment except relentless self-advancement, lacking any visible family connections, we need to know who and what she is. Then, every senator can make an informed determination on whether to support or oppose her.

NEXT: Friday’s news conference will announce a counter to Barack Obama’s 24-house pro-Kagan White House “hotline,” as well as upcoming sexual investigations in Cambridge.

READER BULLETIN: Our previously scheduled Obama news conference and columns based on our Hawai’i research have been pushed back to next week. Due to the urgency of the Kagan matter, she is our immediate priority.
