"Jewish" Sam Miller lie exposed

by Paul King Monday, Apr. 18, 2011 at 9:45 PM

Almost every Catholic publication, blog and comment board has carried a story about a "Jewish" businessman defending the Catholic Church. The whole story is based on total lies and deceptions but still is circulated by the faithful.

The "Jewish" Sam Miller who Catholics love to spam (defending the Catholic Church) is a liar and joke.

Sam Miller made up totally false figures in his speech (and admitted it later): -

The lies in question: -

“Now let me give you some figures that you as Catholics should know and remember. For example, research by Richard Blackman at Fuller Theological Seminary shows that 12% of the 300 Protestant clergy surveyed admitted to sexual intercourse with a parishioner; 38% acknowledged other inappropriate sexual contact. In a 1990 study by the United Methodist Church, 41.8% of clergywomen reported unwanted sexual behavior by a colleague; 17% of laywomen said that their own pastors had sexually harassed them. Phillip Jenkins concludes in his book “Pedophiles and Priests” that while 1.7% of the Catholic clergy has been found guilty of pedophilia, 10% of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia.“

The REAL figures are 5.4% (http://www.bishop-accountability.org) of Catholic Priests and a fraction of one per cent of Methodists have been accused.

He later apologized when questioned.

It also turns out that Sam Miller is Jewish by blood but is a Christian who has donated to a number of Christian Causes including the Salvation Army. Not one penny has he given to any non Jewish charity or cause.

He is a publicity hound who made up all the facts and figures in his speech.

None are factual.

Typical of Catholic Smoke and Mirror con tricks.

NOTES

The U.S. bishops have reported receiving allegations of abuse by 5,948 priests in 1950-2010, or 5.4% of the 109,694 U.S. priests active since 1950.

Other percentages

After the March 2009 release of audit documents by the NH AG, the names of 74 accused Manchester priests are known, or over 8.9% of the 831 diocesan priests, which extrapolates to 9,768 nationally

Covington diocese states that 9.6% of its priests have been accused, which extrapolates to 10,531 nationally

Over 10% of Providence RI priests have been accused, which extrapolates to over 10,969 nationally

Richard Sipe estimates that 9% of U.S. priests have offended, which extrapolates to 9,872 priests nationally

Corrupt land deals

by Paul King Wednesday, Apr. 20, 2011 at 5:54 PM

SAM MILLER EXPOSED (The Christian Catholics pass off as Jewish)

Businessman Sam Miller said he would give $25,000 to the Salvation Army to supports its emergency men’s shelter in Cleveland, if other donors match his proposed contribution. Mr. Miller is co-chairman of Forest City Enterprises, a real estate development company. He said he was responding to Sam Fulwood’s opinion column published on 16 March. Philip Mason of the Salvation Army said the contribution would help pay for shelter operating costs. Mr. Mason said the Salvation Army is still talking with city and county officials on a renewal contract for shelter operations.

Atassi, Leila. (2004, March 18). Forest City’s Miller offers challenge grant to shelter. Cleveland, OH: The Plain Dealer, p. B-3. To read the article, click here.

AND

SAM MILLER'S CORRUPT REAL ESTATE COMPANY

Sam Miller owns Forest City Enterprises

In a Huffington Post blog, Daniel Goldstein called Atlantic Yards[15] "a corrupt land grab," "a taxpayer ripoff," "a bait and switch of epic proportions," and "a complete failure of democracy."
The MTA appraisal valued the railyard at $214 million in 2005; Forest City Ratner offered $50 million in cash, while another bidder offered $150 million. FCR eventually boosted its bid to $100 million, and said the overall value of its bid was higher than the appraised value, which was validated by the courts.
Forest City Ratner offered the condo owners in 636 Pacific St. $850/sq. foot, the condo owners at 24 Sixth Ave (Spalding Buildings) $650/sq. foot and undisclosed amounts to renters. Sellers of condos signed a nondisclosure agreement, termed a "gag order" by opponents.[16]

More Sam Miller Scams

by Paul King Wednesday, Apr. 20, 2011 at 7:30 PM

COMPLAINT

For over ten years, Medical Mutual of Ohio ("Medical Mutual"), formerly known as Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Ohio, required that any hospital in the Cleveland area wishing to do business with it agree to a "Most Favorable Rates" ("MFR") provision. That provision in effect required hospitals to charge Medical Mutual's competitors significantly more, often 15-30% more, than they charged Medical Mutual for identical services or suffer significant penalties. In doing so, Medical Mutual substantially increased the cost of hospital services and health insurance for businesses and consumers in the Cleveland area. Moreover, by enforcing the MFR clause without regard to differences in products, patient mix, case management, and contracting methodologies, Medical Mutual's MFR clause stifled creative contractual arrangements between hospitals and payers, deterred development of innovative health care plans, and hindered the growth of less-costly health plans.

Medical Mutual's recent announcement that it would abandon its MFR clause, an announcement occasioned by the imminence of this action, does not adequately protect consumers against either the reinstitution of the MFR clause or the use of similar practices equally pernicious to competition. For these reasons, the United States of America, acting under the direction of the Attorney General, brings this action to enjoin Medical Mutual from further violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1.

Far more active in the Catholic community

by Paul King Thursday, Apr. 21, 2011 at 12:37 AM

While on further research I must concede that he is also active in the Jewish community (a fact omitted by Forbes in their bio) it does not change the fact he is on the board of several major Catholic charities including those involved with "spreading the word" .

He has benefitted from his association with the RCC by being granted several major Catholic contracts for his insurance company.

His business dealing are very shady to say the least
