Billionaire mall ...More on the founder of Taubman:<br /><br />Billionaire mall mogul A. Alfred Taubman was sued by former employee Nicole Rock for sexual harrasment, discrimination, pregnancy discrimination and wrongful termination. <br /><br />The 38-year-old Michigan woman worked as a flight attendant on Taubman Air Terminals from 2005 to 2011, the Detroit News reports. The lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday seeks $29 million in damages for violations of her civil rights. <br /><br />The numerous instances of repeated sexual harassment listed in the suit include claims that Taubman forcibly kissed Rock, tore her shirt, touched her breasts, grabbed her crotch, forced her to touch his crotch and "attempted to perform oral sex on her without her consent " -- threatening her by screaming,"I said lay down." <br /><br />When Rock became pregnant in 2009, the suit alleges, Taubman told her she "should have had an abortion," and made other harassing comments about her decision to have a baby. He told her she "ruined her f--king life" and that her "a-- has gotten wide."<br /><br />Rock also claims she was forced to return to work from maternity leave a month before she was scheduled.<br /><br />The Detroit Free Press has a statement from Taubman’s office:<br /><br />“The allegations contained in the complaint filed in court this morning against A. Alfred Taubman are not true. Mr. Taubman will address the complaint through the appropriate legal channels."<br /><br /><br />Read the lawsuit against A. Alfred Taubman on WDIV. <br /><br />88-year-old Taubman, a philanthropist who seems to maintain a lavish lifestyle, is no stranger to the courtroom. In 2002, he went to jail after being convicted for his involvement in a price-rigging scheme with Christie's art auction house during his tenure as chairman of Sotheby's.<br /><br />Taubman is worth an estimated $2.9 billion as of September, according to Forbes. He's one of the wealthiest men in Michigan; see the slideshow below for the list of the richest people in the state as of March 2012. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/30/alfred-taubman-sued-sexual-harassment-nicole-rock-_n_2213559.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/30/alfred-taubman-sued-sexual-harassment-nicole-rock-_n_2213559.html</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199633972689777295.post-86109765255649789892012-12-14T00:31:45.030-08:002012-12-14T00:31:45.030-08:00I don't like City Creek either.

Edward Griffin) is probably the most interesting and informative book ever written on the very dry topic of central bankers and their quest to control the US Govt and overthrow the Constitution of the United States. <br />The owners of the US Federal Reserve are shadowy figures who shun the light of day and include extremely wealthy foreign investors as well as americans. As you point out, the "Federal" "Reserve" is no more "federal" than is FedEx, and is not a "reserve" at all but a conglomerate of privately owned banks. The Federal Reserve is a for profit private enterprise which has made its owners fabulously wealthy over the past 100 years since its founding by destroying the value of the dollar and by funding both sides of every war fought by the US in the past 100 years. <br />By constitutional law, the Federal Reserve is an illegal enterprise since the Constitution states that "money" will only be gold and silver coins and "The Fed" issues worthless, paper, fiat money exclusively.<br />Why has the church dipped its toe into this murky cesspool?<br />Why did the church use funds derived from the tithes of church members to open City Creek Mall? <br />Why does the church promote the worldly image of babylon in City Creek Mall advertising?<br />Why do church leaders "rub shoulders" these days with the kings of babylon (Dick Cheney, David Petraeus, Zbigniew Brzezinski, etc.)<br />We can only speculate, but it is ominous that the Book of Mormon repeatedly warns us about the corruption of "all" churches in the last days (2 Nephi 28:11).<br />We are warned that in the last days "they have all gone astray save it be a few, who are the humble followers of Christ; nevertheless, they are led, that in many instances they do err because they are taught by the precepts of men."

I keep wondering what has happened to *our* leaders.<br /><br />I have some suspicions--<br /><br />I do not believe they are 'evil' men; I don't even think they are 'weak' men, but something is terribly wrong--<br /><br />There are those 'myths' that have floated around that leaders of the church over 100 years ago made a pact with bankers to keep the church afloat, and that whichever prophet/president has tried to break the pact has ended up dead.<br />I can't believe that fear would be keeping this thing going, but I wonder. I wouldn't ask anyone else to die.<br />I get a sense that the church is in 'captivity', very much as were the righteous kings in Ether. I think that we Book of Mormon readers tend to overlook those passages in Ether about 'captivity'.<br /><br />After all, LDS church leaders are just men--<br />Are they trying to keep the status quo as long as possible.<br /><br />Many accused Ron Paul of backing down against Romney, because of threats; others claimed that his son endorsed Romney, due to threats on the family, etc. <br /><br />None of *us* KNOW whether any of this is true, but my response to those who claimed cowardice in Ron Paul (a man I respect) is that no man knows what any other man (or woman) will do when threatened with some kind of atrocity directed towards his/her loved ones--<br /><br />This is heavy stuff; all of it is.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
