Some inside folks with the WHITE HOT info on L.A. illicit criminal activity at the hands of many of the popular names we all know and don't love seem to have graduated ZD to the next level of info. Perhaps the quick impact made on exposing the LAHD conflict of interest (corruption) allegations got some other folks salivating over the idea of hearing ZD blast THEIR email details on City TV 35 and blast it all over the internet. (As of today, the LAHD (Los Angeles Housing Department) posts on Asst GM Roberto Aldape are STILL the most viewed posts on this blog. And the traffic is increasing, if anything...not diminishing. I really don't think there are that many members of the general public doing a Google search for "Roberto Aldape" and clicking the links to the blog posts detailing the conflicts. (COULD IT BE INVESTIGATORS HAVING A LOOK FOR SOME TIPS ON WHERE TO START?)
So, over the past week, and past 72 hours, some WILD SH*T has been appearing in the LA City News "inbox." And would REALLY like to simply blast it all...but it's kinda like a grenade...and once the pin is pulled...
Posting some tidbits out of these memos and posting them in the Twitter feed on this blog, then re-posting them in full blog posts. (To hit the Google search engines where you can read them all at once.)
For example, I DID NOT KNOW that LADWP honcho RAJ RAMAN liked to live a "Lifestyle of the Rich & Famous - Laguna Niguel Edition" where he racked up quite a tab at places like Bloomingdales and a list of creditors from this Bankruptcy hearing that is too long to post, even though the blog space is free. RAJ MUST NOT HAVE KNOW YOU HAVE TO PAY THE CREDIT CARDS BACK FOR THE STUFF. Anyway, after reading the court judgment -- IT KINDA BORDERS ON INSANITY TO ALLOW THIS GUY TO OVERLOOK THE PAPER CLIPS & STAPLES.
AND, I can't believe people buy homes in Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear out of City money. And I can't believe what happened when a former elected official got into the real estate business...and became even shadier than when he was an elected official.
Anyway, keep reading. I have to decide whether I want to show in council chambers and just start blasting all of this stuff, which they would not be able to prevent me from saying, because it's out of court cases, including a CURRENT ACTIVE court case, that I hear is a REAAAAAAAAAAAAL DOOSEY!
This is what I call the "Daffy Duck" era. I have a great stunt to pull that the crowd would LOVE, but I can only do it once. (Let's hope these schmucks don't piss me off...for MY sake.) I am quite certain I can piss off just about every elected official in the County (current and former) with about 2 public comments.
