Casket outside Brooklyn nursing home filled with 6,500 covers of Cuomo’s book

By Reuven Fenton and Kate Sheehy, NY Post, October 18, 2020 |

Several dozen people who lost loved ones in nursing homes during the early months of the COVID – 19 pandemic gathered in front of the Cobble Hill Health Center to demand an apology from Gov.

A silver casket was wheeled to the front of a Brooklyn nursing home Sunday — and 6,500 copies of the cover of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s new bookwere dumped into it in protest of his COVID-19 policies.

The number of covers was equal to the roughly 6,500 people who have been reported killed by the coronavirus in nursing homes in the state — although the ralliers said they believe the figure is much higher.

“My mother-in-law got COVID in an elder-care facility but died in a hospital, [so] her number does not count’’ in New York’s nursing-home tally, said Janice Dean, a meteorologist for TV’s “Fox & Friends’’ who was among the roughly 50 protesters outside the Cobble Hill Health Center.

“At the very beginning, I wouldn’t have blamed anyone,’’ she said of her kin’s death. “We were in the middle of a pandemic.

“But then I saw the governor on CNN and the various talk shows talking about his love life and talking about how he brought the curve down to nothing.”

The first thing he should have said was, “I’m sorry for your loss,’’ Dean said.

Protesters have mainly ripped Cuomo’s March 25 mandate that prevented nursing homes, with their vulnerable populations, from turning away coronavirus-positive patients.

Cuomo acknowledged at a COVID-19 press briefing earlier Sunday that in hindsight, his administration could have done better to protect people when asked about nursing homes.

“But can anyone say that a virus that targets the weak and the seniors, [that] we can keep them safe? Nobody can say that,’’ he said.

The governor said that to remain unscathed, nursing homes would have to be in “a hermetically sealed bubble.’’

The governor also contended that New York has “the most aggressive nursing-home’’ policy in the country when it comes to trying to prevent the spread of the virus, including mandated weekly testing of every worker.

His book, called “American Crisis” and released Oct. 13, was described in its press release as a “remarkable portrait of leadership during crisis and a gritty story of gut-wrenching choices that point the way to a safer future for us all.”

But Brooklyn protest organizer Peter Arbeeny griped at the rally — where about a dozen people added photos of their lost loved ones to the casket — that Cuomo “hasn’t given us an independent investigation [into the alleged nursing-home debacle] so we can get to the truth.

“The families in front of you deserve to know the truth,” said Arbeeny, whose 89-year-old Korean War veteran father, Norman, was among the at least 56 people to die from COVID-19 at the Brooklyn facility.

“We are all COVID orphans now,” he said.

“And if somebody made a mistake — and with it all that was going on, it was a crazy time — we would forgive.

“Maybe somebody wouldn’t forgive, but we would forgive. You get a sincere apology when truth comes out, and then we all know, and then we can move on. And we can celebrate the good things.”

Eliminated $100’s of billions in payouts.
~ IT’S LEGALIZED EUTHANASIA ~
During his long term, David saw the best and worst of other officials. His complaint against corruption among the rich and influential, recorded in Psalm 73
The Tragedy of the Wicked,
The Blessedness of Trust in God
A Psalm of Asaph.

1- Truly God is good to Israel,
To such as are pure in heart.
2- But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
My steps had nearly slipped.
3- For I was envious of the boastful,
When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4- For there are no pangs in their death,
But their strength is firm.
5- They are not in trouble as other men,
Nor are they plagued like other men.
6- Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
Violence covers them like a garment.
7- Their eyes bulge with abundance;
They have more than heart could wish.
8- They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
They speak loftily.
9- They set their mouth against the heavens,
And their tongue walks through the earth.
10- Therefore his people return here,
And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
11- And they say, “How does God know?
And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12- Behold, these are the ungodly,
Who are always at ease;
They increase in riches.
13- Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain,
And washed my hands in innocence.
14- For all day long I have been plagued,
And chastened every morning.
15- If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your
children.
16- When I thought how to understand this,
It was too painful for me—
17- Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
Then I understood their end.
18- Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.
19- Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
They are utterly consumed with terrors.
20-cAs a dream when one awakes,
So, Lord, when You awake,
You shall despise their image.
21- Thus my heart was grieved,
And I was vexed in my mind.
22- I was so foolish and ignorant;
I was like a beast before You.
23- Nevertheless I am continually with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
24- You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
25- Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.
26- My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
27- For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish;
You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.
28- But it is good for me to draw near to God;
I have put my trust in the Lord God,
That I may declare all Your works.

Democrat Mass Murderers from New York.

I’d love to see the same thing happen here in Massachusetts, where Gov. Charlie Baker (RINO-MA) can also claim a high percentage of nursing home patients among the number of CoVid deaths. I believe over 5 thousand of the over 9 thousand MA deaths were elderly nursing home residents.

There is a drug activist who twice now in the last week has taken used and discarded drug syringes from a Boston neighborhood loaded with addicts and junkies known as the Methadone Mile and dumped them on Gov. Baker’s (rhymes with FAKER) lawn in front of his Million dollar suburban home. Baker has let a lot who voted for him down….

If Joe Biden, of the political House of Corruption, wins the Presidency (heaven forbid), any such calls for incompetent governor Andrew Cuomo’s accountability, may be firmly silenced. Shut-down and suppressed. Any who might heedless persist, just may get a late-night knock on their door, Red Communist China-style.

The arrogance and denial of the N.Y. Dim-autocrat, is truly breathtaking. And sickening!

The People Know the Truths and they will do what they have to do – that’s why smart Politician fear the People and the guns that will take them out – Cuomo is not a smart man – he’s done.

Cuomo has the same attitude as Benito Mussolini concerning the unproductive elderly. They needed to be eliminated so resources could be used elsewhere.

These clowns can’t help themselves. They missed the chance to starve us to death. If they had shut down transportation of food. No one can enter the state blah, blah, blah. Talk about a mess. WHEN Trump gets reelected it will b e opne season then. The Stuuuuupids will lose any control they have left. They are tired of looting and burning. they now have the blood lust. they want murder.
