It gets ever more interesting. Brookfield Office Properties owns the Zuccotti [”grassroots” protester] Park in NYC. It is named for John E. Zuccotti, Co-Chairman, Board of Directors, Brookfield Office Properties. Also on the Board, as Managing Director, is one Diana L. Taylor. Who is Diana Taylor, you ask? Why - she is Mayor Mike Bloomie’s girlfriend.
And of course, such businesses have to employ lobbiests - you know - to plug their best interests with the Obama administration when it comes to getting loan approval for Brookfield’s Granite Reliable Power wind farm project - owned by BIAF Granite Holdings - up there in New Hampshire. The lobbiests for Brookfield Properties? Oldaker, BIDEN & Belair. As in Dopey Joe’s son, Hunter Biden. [http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/firmsum.php?id=D000036374&year=2002]

Interesting also that they opened the park in mid-September, it filled with the protesters - right about that time [?], and on Sept. 23 their wind farm gets $135 million from Obama.
