We have all been asked, at one time or another, why we keep at it, why we keep banging our heads on the wall. Well, the answer is simple - because we are discontent with the current situation and are determined to see it right. We will keep hitting that nail on the head, that crooked nail, until those who are truly malcontent with the situation, the fascists, will give up. That is it, pure and simple. But now let's look at details of the situation.
Freedom of the press, access to media arenas within the Village are rights that are denied to us. We finally have ridiculously limited time at pools - before 11, when there is really no one there, and The Reporter? HA!!! Here is a look at what we have there.
Their stated policy, as can be seen at the bottom of page A3 states the following:".....promises to continue its long held beliefs that this publication will print articles to inform our residents....We promise to seek the truth and to print both sides of an issue, to open dialogue...." (my highlighting)
Well, how's that working? Not so much, to say the least. Let's take a look at the issue of the budget and dissent, examine how much of "both" sides of the issue is truly there.
Page A1 - budget of Howie and David Israel is presented.
Page A3 - piece by President on so called security and assembly issues, of the "nonsense" taking place.
Page A4 - long and insulting diatribe by Hugh Green, a Poohbah supporter, rife with insults to those who dare to disagree and speak up. See a prior posting for details.
Page A5 - "Opinion" piece by the infamous Don Foster, the infamous DonHoHo, writing "Point of Order" about the annoying use of it, how the noisy disrupters use that tactic. Hate to enlighten you fascists, but it is Marilyn Gorodetzer in her dulcet tones who is always standing up there in the front of the theater and sticking her finger in the air and calling out, "point of order".She is all yours! So again, truth in advertising - a good slogan to remember!
Page A5 - a piece, "They Lost the Election" written "By Joy Vestal, UCO VP and Reporter Coeditor". Sniff. Sniff. Anyone smell anything rotten here? I sure as hell do! And so what if one lost an election? Does that mean one dies and goes off to the election loss graveyard? Tell that to all the candidates who have run and lost and then run and won. Tell that to Romney who is contemplating another go at it after two losing campaigns. Tell that to any politician, anyone anywhere who has tried for something, lost, but kept up the battle and won.
Page A5 - Sadie's World cartoon shows Joy Vestal with a boxing glove on punching all opponents - how did this ever get in!?
Page A6 - Editorial by the two co-editors, Myron Silverman and Joy Vestal, nicely done veiled threat to "think carefully before you cast your vote" with prior veiled references to who it is exactly that represents you.
Page A9 - an entire page article written by - tada! Joy Vestal - on the UCO Town Hall Budget Meeting - supposedly so willingly set up by Howie O'Brien who did no such thing and only when his master, the Grand Poohbah, HAD to give in to the pressure of the Village, was this set up. The whole article and its words smells to the heavens and Joy makes sure that she ends it with an unflattering "quote" from an attendee, no name, as is usual in their camp, stating that "This group that was here today wants to take over and be in charge." Well, yes, they certainly do, as they oppose waste, lies, intolerance and fascistic behavior, threats, etc., etc., etc.
Page A10 - an entire page written by Anita Buchanan, a known adherent of David Israel, who writes in this supposedly neutral piece about "Why People Run" and just has to include statements such as "I have learned that there is a hard core group here who don't know how to attend business meetings and who don't want to do for the general good of the organization but would rather rabble rouse to satisfy their own egos." Really? And where, Madame writer and Madame Editor - where oh where is your twice checked facts, your proof, your actual speaker who said that or is this once again, a made up piece to further denigrate the "thugs, the mobs"?
Page A13 - a huge diatribe written by Hugh Green re Wi Fi and how these "thugs" just ruined it for the Village and there is nothing of the truth, of the backbreaking cost that would have been incurred on top of the horrific costs facing us on the roads, all thanks to the usual suspects, Mr. Green! And where is the fact or views of the opposition? Who the hell knows "cause it sure ain't in this rag.
This is just one paper. Multiply it by all those that have been printed with this bias running rampant through it and then you will understand why we need to keep hitting that nail on the head, why we need to continue the fight. This is not a minority. Last time I checked, they won the votes on two major issues. That means a MAJORITY voted against what was proposed. Why keep stressing the 15 votes on one issue. A majority is a majority and I have sat in the DA where Poohbah won by a smaller majority and how about the huge majority vote against Wi Fi. Oh, forgot that?
A lie is a lie and people are tired of these lies. They are tired of the fascist principles being employed here. Lets see where it all leads and why it is so uncomfortably familiar. It is the fault of those thugs, that mob - get rid of them! It is the fault of the Jews - get rid of them. It is the fault of the Gypsies - get rid of them. It is the fault of the homosexuals, those gays and lesbians - get rid of them. It is the fault of anyone who differed from us so get rid of them. But guess what - one day that bell will toll for you. The pendulum of history is on the side of those who fight for the right stuff. They are the true malcontents, the true discontented people, and they, like us, are fighting to correct the errors, to right the wrongs. Need a list? Just let me know and I will send it right over to you.
