Recall that the posting
of 30 June 2011 discoursed about the chickens coming home to roost at the
poultry farms of the Agudath Israel of America (and also passingly mentions the
Catholic Church, the particulars of which are deferred to those having greater
expertise than my own on the organization).
The thesis was that those two organizations were getting payback for
abandoning the high ground of morality, even as they asserted the morality
arguments for their positions (which happened to be with respect to the New
York same-gender marriage legislation).
The posting specifically mentions the Agudath Israel's political entanglement
with the now soon-to-be-ex New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.
Shelly is, of course, presumed
innocent unless and until proven guilty.
It does seem, however, that there are multiple money trails that the
prosecutors are prepared to reveal at trial; the case against Mr. Silver seems
quite strong.
I reassert my contentions that
any organization that purports itself to be the guardian and defender of the
moral high ground cannot long maintain its credibility by insinuating itself
under the bedsheets of the corrupt and immoral politicians.
It does not take much
clairvoyance to predict that there will be repercussions in various and sundry
places. It may prove very interesting to
see who else Shelly takes with him in his descending trajectory. Keep this one on your radar screens.
