It is hard to understand why, when first Eduardo spelled it all out in the Scandals series and now, Dorothy, the person sitting there in the Treasurer's seat who had a first hand view and understanding of what had happened while Ed Black was Treasurer, and who now demanded that they show proof if payment were to made, to explain just what had they been doing!, now Dorothy explains it in words of one syllable or less, lays it out so that it is easily understood. Now the question is why did they ever think no one would notice. Did they think they wore the Emperor's New Clothes and no one would notice or say anything? I guess Dorothy was the little boy in the famous tale and called out - but he is naked!
Yes, fellow residents. David Israel and Ed Black were naked in their deeds. There was no way to hide them from the eyes of the public but still, they continued to lie and lie and lie some more. First there were no errors in the actuality of the job, then there was no hanky panky with the use and expenditure of the money, then there was no sign of incompetence and finally, oh, no, there really is not a $1.3 plus million dollar shortfall. No, what we need to do is go out and spend more money we do not have on projects we do not need and keep on living in Israel and Black Lalaland until one day we all wake up broke and decrepit!
All this has simply proven what I have been saying now for a long time, privately among friends, then in the campaign and now on the blog. David Israel is incompetent, not a crime, just a fact. He has no idea how to manage money and budgeting, no idea how to vet a contract, no idea how to prioritize. He never had such experience nor need to do so in his entire career so why would he start now? No, what he did was retreat into his room, tap tap tap away on his computer and hack all his opponents in UCO by shutting down their working computers and denying them access to the all important cloud, and basically let Ed Black pull him around by his puppet strings or lead by the nose - choose whichever term you like.
So what happened? No contracts were signed. No, what was signed were proposals! Yes, proposals, as if one would sign a proposal to renovate one's home, without signing a strictly delineated contract - after having reviewed it VERY carefully. Well, NOT DONE HERE! No, a signature was written by the infamous two, Black and Israel, money, huge amounts of money were paid out WITHOUT delegate approval, and we were on the merry road to financial perdition and physical ruin.
But wait! There's more! (Sorry). These signatures could then have been appended to anything, yes, anything. You know, it is like when you would get a bad test grade and have to get it signed, so you would con a parent into signing a blank sheet of paper for some obtuse reason and then transfer it over to your test paper and somehow try to make it work. Now it is even easier, what with replicating possibilities. There was essentially no control over where that signature would go. None.
But wait! There's more! (Sorry again). There were no witnesses. Again, there were no witnesses and for such a huge contract, that is a sin - or worse - and we all know that. Oh yes we do, but yet people who are his sycophants just merrily plod along beside and behind him and sally out with attempts to subvert the issues - but are failing more and more.
And now for the part I truly love. How did David Israel sign this "proposal"? As owner. Yes, as owner! And there you have it, my friends and some not my friends. David Israel is afflicted with megalomania. He truly believes he is the owner of UCO, of the Village, and therefore he can and will do what he wants whenever he wants and however he wants, always with Ed Black's approval, of course. Well, he does not own the Village, nor UCO nor me and not any one else. (OK, some people, like HoHo, Lanny, PeteyBoy, Gracie, Elaine).
Now he wants us to continue along this dark road, going ever further into unnecessary expenses and sign onto this Wi Fi business. Why and what for? People are wiring up, with privacy for much, much less, and we could Wi Fi every association in the Village for what is now in the Wi Fi exploratory fund. Yes, and have mucho change left over. And guess what? You would be able to get the signal in the street, thus allowing you to sit in the middle of the road and play Candy Crush or trip over the miserable perimeter walkway, or do whatever harm you wish to do to yourself. You could even sit by all the pools and ignore your friends and fellow residents and be just like the kids of today - don't talk, don't relate, just text and text and email. See, no deprivation for you at all!
And of course, our perceived owner, a great man in his own mind, has brought us, with the help and advice of Ed Black, the wonderful camera system by the gate. Just go and watch it on his blog. Scintillating - not! And guess what, all that money and nothing appears to be clear at all. Perhaps it is better on the screens, but it sure as hell is not clear on our screens. Five cameras on one gate and 19 more proposed for the Village in general. NO! NO! and NO! again. We have a right to privacy, an expectation of privacy within our gated community. We have a right to stop the ridiculous and careless expenditure of our funds without a detailed presentation, without a vote, without a need.
Should I remind all of you out there about the time of our youth and the changes that were wrought, sometimes in not such a good way as there was much violence, but yet change did come about. No violence here, thank you, but the slogan still is relevant.
POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
RESIGN OR RECALL!
