Now that I have taken care of the garbage, it is time to address the real stuff that we need to discuss. When I wrote about the physical appearance of the Village, I was not accusing anyone, merely stating a fact or two about our appearance and why it cannot be remedied? Why can it not be moved forward in priority over less necessary projects or be of equal status with other projects?
But this seems to be the problem here in the Village. As soon as one voices discontent or concern about something that is or is not happening here in CV it is taken as a personal attack on the current administration. This is truly pathetic, for there is something called constructive criticism that is obviously foreign to these people and this is a shame and one great reason why nothing ever gets done here in CV. It is the reason why questions never get answered, why contracts and bids are never fully explained or presented properly with adequate time to review not with full detail.
For example, did anyone hear or know what the final cost of this security contract is? Did anyone get an explanation as to why easements from associations would be needed if the cameras will be posted as posited in the wording of the contract? Will these same cameras be part of Operation Big Brother? Will these cameras, that we are paying for to the tune of $38,800 then be kept by the next security company in the next contract or will we have to pay again for something "better"? and by the way, who is responsible for the maintenance of these cameras during the length of the contract?
This is an example of what goes on here in the Village. We get bits and pieces, too little too late, are miscounted in voting by partisan counters in a very vague and imprecise manner, our "chair" at the DA speaks in a partisan manner from the dais when he should be coming down to speak as a resident of the Village, Robert's Rules are ignored except when it benefits the "chair" and the list can go on and on.
We will never get answers unless we are allowed to openly ask questions and demand answers, without being shut down, dismissed, yelled at, insulted, etc. One man cannot be allowed to run rampant over all of us here in the Village. All one has to do is read the papers, listen to the news and the realization that all dictators, all liars are found out, be it the NSA, CIA, Big Banks, GM, or whatever and whomever has been outed in lies over recent days and months. The truth will out - and it will do the same here.
The truth always comes to the fore. Keep that in mind and remember - choose your options and sides carefully.

OY, POOR GRACIE II POOR PETEY BOY TOO!
So sorry that you obviously had such a miserable life that you do not realize that adding an "ie, or y" at the end of a name is a sign of affection or concern. I really am concerned about you, as it is obvious that you suffer badly from delusions and feel the same paranoia that your lord and master, David Israel, feels, since you both imagine that you are insulting us when you call the two opposition blogs, "malcontents". Obviously it takes your thick skull much time to absorb the fact that we are proud to carry that name, proud to carry on the traditions that make America what it is today, proud to fight for our rights here in the Village, proud to be malcontent with the tinpot dictator we now have along with his pathetic little minions.
I am also proud that you and David Israel felt that it was so important to attack me on his blog, yes HIS blog, for that is what it is and no matter how many times you state and restate your lies about the contract, it does not make it so, does not make it the truth. As stated ad infinitum, only the second part of the contract was voted on with the first part being a unilateral act of David Israel and buddy, Ed Black, and the second part was given with lies, omissions, and misstatements to the delegates with no words of warning, etc. Sorry you suffer so badly from these delusions. You must be hanging around the wrong crowd too much!
You really must have felt overwhelmed with the truth since you felt it necessary to get Petey Boy in on the deal as well. It is truly funny when you say there is no truth and then you repeat the statement. Why be so upset if there is no truth. THE TRUTH IS, ALMOST EVERY WORD THAT YOU GUYS WRITE OR SAY IS A LIE. You cannot even see what is there to be seen - more and more people are waking up, refusing to be threatened or intimidated, refuse to be overwhelmed with lies and as soon as we can get rid of the deadwood, we will get this place back, or rather forward, to where it should be, where it deserves to be. Oh, by the way, thank you for calling me Estie as it brings warm memories of my parents who called me that as a name of love . So hey, do you love me, Gracie? We can go for that hot chocolate and talk over childhoods. I had a great one and a great life. Oh, and if you need help in gender identification, just ring and I will be there to help. Do you know the difference between a man and a troll?
Signing off for now, Gracie, m'dear. Have a good night and good day tomorrow and who knows, perhaps you will wake up and smell the coffee or hot chocolate or whatever floats your boat and come into the light, leave the dark side. Miracles can happen. I truly believe that.

OY, POOR GRACIE
You gotta' feel sorry for this woman. Every time she opens her mouth she follows the directions that state, "Open mouth, insert foot." I don't really know or understand why she persists in this self harmful manner, but she really bought it this time on Gary's blog.
The technique of repeating a lie so often that people begin to believe it is the truth, has backfired. No one can stomach her claim that David Israel told the delegates that they if they approve the paving the way it was presented, there would be cracks, but what the hey! what is five million amongst friends???? She claims that there was this special meeting for the delegates where they were presented with "facts", then voted for cracked paving and a waste of money and therefore it is all their fault.
This is like the clip on an early Sesame Street episode dealing with telling the truth where a little boy spilled his milk and then tells his mother in a vividly portrayed lie that an elephant had come in thru the window and knocked it over. That was funny. You, Gracie, your little old biddies that you hang with, and all others that persist in following David Israel down this road to perdition - you are not funny, not in the least. Sad - yes; pathetic - yes; dangerous to CV - yes, emphatically so.
First, David Israel, aided and abetted by Ed Black, signed for the first phase, approximately $2 million dollars worth of contract. Ed Black was Treasurer when the first contract was signed so he was FULLY aware and involved in that whole mess. Then there were shenanigans with the money, Ed Black signed for and moved $80,000 without delegate permission, without approval or knowledge of the Treasurer, then a ridiculous waste of time and money negotiation was held during which these same two liars cost the village thousands to finance a line of credit which we did not need at all and then conned the delegates into approving the second phase of this horrific paving job, this travesty of a contract, signed on a blank page, one page at that, no liability clause, no lawyer, no protection for the Village, worse than crappy job with which we are living, and a reserve shortfall for the money that was illegally moved and then spent on this idiocy - oh, but I forgot the $700,000 that was suddenly "found" now (Uh huh!) and no appreciable money saved up now for the redo of this travesty much sooner than later.
THIS, Gracie, is why there is a growing opposition to the administration of David Israel, to his henchmen Ed Black and Marilyn Gorodetzer, to the wasteful and profligate spending that goes on, to the wrong priorities, to the lies, to the nastiness. In Fiddler, the rabbi is asked if there is a blessing for the Tsar and the rabbi replies, "May the Lord bless and keep the Tsar - far away from us!" How true in this case as well. May this administration be kept - FAR AWAY FROM US, FROM THE VILLAGE and let us get on with what we have to fix, with installing process and procedure, with proper management of funds, with responsibility towards our residents and not to oneself, with proper priorities, with no more Big Brother, and on and on and on.
Get the picture, Gracie. People have lost patience with you and your crowd, or rather, mob. I generally tend to ignore your stupidities and nasty comments that you send. I laugh and move on, but enough is enough for a lot of people. "mene, mene tekel oopharsin." So says the Bible and so say we who live in and love the Village. Your days, the days of this administration are numbered. An accounting is at hand.

CV PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Here are just a few questions about the appearance of the Village as one takes a walk around.
First, I would like to commend some of the associations who have some wonderfully different landscaping, a mix of colors and a well kempt look. I would like to remind other associations that while everyone keeps chatting about resale value, part of it is curb appeal and some associations have dead and/or skimpy bushes, dry dusty and bare areas and it just is not appetizing to the eye.
Second, we come to the responsibility of UCO and WPRF as we talk about the swales, the grassy areas that abut the perimeter roads and the winter appearance of the lakes and waterways. Take a walk along the Dover area and look at the grassy areas beside the road and on the road side of the Dover wall. It looks scruffy, weedy, matted in places and there is a niche where some pathetic little tree is struggling to survive with bare branches along with a very few flowers. This tree needs help. These conditions of scruffy swale areas persist throughout the entire Village. Take a walk around and check on it for yourselves. It seems that most of the concern for landscaping appears to be at the two entry gates and four corner areas and they are doing quite well, but people also ride and walk around within the Village and attention needs to be paid there.
As far as the waterways go - what will happen to the edges, the shorelines as the water recedes in both size and depth and more of the drowned greenery and flora will be exposed. Already there are very ugly areas of floating mats of whatever was there before. In one area the mat was so thick that it supported a ball! There are tall dead and brown reeds that should go. We are not the Everglades and while we must be careful of the geo tubes, etc. we can look better and must look to do better and to remind the maintenance companies that as the lakes get smaller, the areas that need to be trimmed better will be growing.
It is a pleasure these days to be able to walk around with a welcoming sun and clear and refreshing air, but let us keep the physical plant as attractive as possible as well. And along those lines are the perimeter walkways, particularly along the Dover area where they are as bad as they were before the so called paving job and I have seen too many people walking along and then suddenly tripping and holding on to companions to avoid falling. I have done it myself as the walkway is so unevenly raised and broken in some areas. We do not lift our legs as high as we used to and our eyes are not as good as they used to be so why leave these pitfalls in place for so long? Is it not time that we fix this before someone actually does irreparable harm to himself/herself? I know we hear all sorts of woes about contractors backing out but enough is enough. I cannot believe that in all of our area and the larger area composed of more of south Florida that there are no reliable and trustworthy contractors for this. Threatening a company to do their job is not a solution either as they will not exactly be in a great and giving mood when they do their work so we must find a contractor who is honest, capable and willing to do the work and has references that we check out carefully as well. Enough time has gone by on this issue.

ART IN LIFE - TRUTHS IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
Yesterday was another day which explains why we love it here. Thoughts about our veterans and wonder when war will cease, several errands here and there, a walk in the beautiful day, a good movie, which for some reason was not really released to the big screens here, and then a thoroughly enjoyable performance of Cinderella at the Kravis.
Snowpiercer was one of the genre of apocalyptic movies that are a bit more frightening these days, what with the louder and louder clarion calls and warnings about global warming. This movie is ironic because mankind is surviving on a train in bitter inhumane cold. It is a warning to all of us to watch, be careful, do what we can to avoid all this, and be careful of the motivations of others and of the hidden truths all around you, especially the truths about people. Worth taking out of the library.
Then we come to Cinderella. First there was a lovely staircase performance by their afterschool young singers program and the kids performed beautifully. Kudos to their music teachers and vocal coaches for the groups. The play itself was not great Broadway theater but it was wonderful as the packed house, some kids but a surprisingly mainly adult audience, suspended belief in the real world and threw themselves into their childhood and cheered and clapped with the appearance of the Fairy Godmother, the magical transformations of pumpkin to coach, of rags to stunning white ball gown and laughed at the very funny punchlines that were well delivered and gave us laughs as well as food for thought.
Cinderella was wondering how the Prince could be a leader when, as she exclaimed, "...but he has a heart, a mind and a soul!" Think about our politicians today, within and without the Village, locally, statewide and nationally, and I think we have to agree with Cinderella! Out of the mouths of innocents, yes?
Cinderella was urged by her Fairy Godmother to dream of the impossible and make it part of her life, make it come true as it became possible, but without Cinderella truly buying into this, nothing would happen. Lesson learned. We get nothing in this world without putting in an effort and while at times it appears to be impossible, while at times we are tempted to give in to despair, we must not. We must keep on dreaming - and working - towards making the seemingly impossible dream into a possible reality, no matter how hard the road. As I have said recently - the words speak for themselves.
The play included questions of social justice, of allowing all to vote, of opening up government to all in a fairer and more just society. Hmmmm, words again speak loudly and echo in our minds.
We thoroughly enjoyed this performance and laughed and clapped along with the rest of the truly wonderfully receptive audience and if you can manage to find the time and the tickets - go and enjoy. And think.

ESSENCE OF A BAD LEADER
If there are traits common to good leaders, then it follows that there are traits common to bad leaders. Read this posting and my good leader posting along with Dorothy's post about the threat to the Four Freedoms here in the Village, tack on Gary's hard hitting posts and then tell me how one could escape the logical conclusion: we have a bad leader, we have a faulty administration, and we have allowed it to happen and continue and to strengthen as well. If one allows a bully to get away with bullying, then something must be done, steps must be taken. But for now, read the essence of a bad leader.
A bad leader is one who does not take the concerns of the constituents to heart.
A bad leader is one who rules by threats, intimidation and goon squad techniques.
A bad leader is one who maintains a separation from the constituents, allowing appointed and/or otherwise designated people to do so.
A bad leader is one who has no sense of process and procedure.
A bad leader is one who has no idea on prioritizing needs and balancing financial reality with those needs.
A bad leader is one who puts his/her preferred pet projects at the head of the line to the detriment of others.
A bad leader is one who is careless, sometimes even criminally or negligently so, with the funds of the constituents.
A bad leader is one who does not use consensus in administering.
A bad leader is one who attempts to shut down any opposition by any and all means.
A bad leader is one who condones, even encourages, statements of hate and prejudice and NEVER condemns it.
A bad leader is one who does not run official gatherings by Robert's Rules, picking and choosing for an advantage.
A bad leader is one who shuts any opposing voices out of the administration.
A bad leader is one, who as all dictators and fascists do, controls all media and arena outlets for others.
A bad leader is one who threatens to use armed force to "maintain" order.
A bad leader is one who lies, is caught in lies, and yet continues to do so.
A bad leader is one who governs in secret, appointing henchmen to do the leader's bidding and even allowing these people to gain the power that rightfully belongs to others.
A bad leader is one who is in position mainly to keep "power" rather than to SERVE.
A bad leader allows others with bad ideas to influence actions and priorities.
A bad leader is one who refuses to open the administration to transparency, honesty, better ideas, honest accounting.
A bad leader will not allow reform of voting and election procedures, especially so in order to remain in office.
Folks, once again, the words speak for themselves. No names need be mentioned for these are universal traits and apply wherever they fit.
When a bad leader tries to maintain that he/she is a good leader, that leader is like the ugly stepsisters of Cinderella, trying to cram their feet into a shoe which does not fit. The leader must be shod in the shoe that fits the leader's foot and the adage, "if the shoe fits, wear it" goes right along, right here.
And now just a PS for the idiots who keep posting drivel and filth. Trying to change your words and your sign in names does not change anything. I know you are not a foreign immigrant and your IP and Hosting services are right there. So, please, for all concerned, including yourselves, go take a bath, rinse your mouths out and get a life, a good life, an honest life - TRY IT, YOU MIGHT LIKE THE CONTRAST AND ACTUALLY STAY IN IT.

THE FOUR FREEDOMS
READ THIS FOLKS. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST BLOGS THAT HAS BEEN POSTED. READ IT AND THINK ABOUT ITS TRUTHS.
THE FOUR FREEDOMS
On January 6, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his State of the Union address assured ALL citizens that there were four freedoms guaranteed to all. Two of them are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution in the first amendment. The four freedoms are:
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Worship
Freedom from Want
Freedom from Fear
Those of us who are old enough to remember the Saturday Evening Post may remember the four Norman Rockwell paintings that adorned its’ magazine covers in February and March of 1943.
SO - - -
Why is it that here in the 21st century in Century Village, West Palm Beach, Florida we are not able to enjoy what has been guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States?
Freedom of Speech – was denied to more than one individual at the Delegate Assembly meeting this past Friday. Examples are – one person who was not even given the opportunity to speak at all; another who was interrupted mid-sentence and threatened with expulsion. Is this the atmosphere in which you wish to live? Are you not at all uncomfortable knowing that your words, your thoughts, your ideas cannot be heard at either an open meeting of the community or in its’ newspaper? I know for sure that I am more than uncomfortable.
Freedom from Fear – why should any individual who lives in this community tell another, I wanted to get up but I was afraid. I didn’t want to be ridiculed or disrespected or booed or told to sit down. I didn’t want to be threatened with expulsion. Is this the atmosphere in which you wish to live?
And then here in the United States of America there is another freedom that is part of our society. It’s called Freedom of Assembly. And that my friends and neighbors is another Freedom that has been denied to some individuals in Century Village. And why is that so? Why should a resident of this community not be permitted to hold a meeting at the Clubhouse? Why should a resident of this community have to hold meetings at the Library or at a house of worship when we have facilities available to us in our very own Clubhouse? A Clubhouse for which we pay every single cent of the expenses including salaries and benefits for all of the employees and let us not forget the fact that we pay RENT in addition to the expenses.
If you feel as I do it is important that you make yourself heard. Write letters to the UCO Reporter, make telephone calls to the UCO office 683-9189, attend Committee meetings at the UCO office just outside the Okeechobee Blvd. gate, and perhaps most important of all, ATTEND THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY MEETINGS and speak to and vote on the issues that are presented.

Examples are – one person who was not even given the opportunity to speak at all; another who was interrupted mid-sentence and threatened with expulsion. Is this the atmosphere in which you wish to live? Are you not at all uncomfortable knowing that your words, your thoughts, your ideas cannot be heard at either an open meeting of the community or in its’ newspaper? I know for sure that I am more than uncomfortable.
Freedom from Fear – why should any individual who lives in this community tell another, I wanted to get up but I was afraid. I didn’t want to be ridiculed or disrespected or booed or told to sit down. I didn’t want to be threatened with expulsion. Is this the atmosphere in which you wish to live?
And then here in the United States of America there is another freedom that is part of our society. It’s called Freedom of Assembly. And that my friends and neighbors is another Freedom that has been denied to some individuals in Century Village. And why is that so? Why should a resident of this community not be permitted to hold a meeting at the Clubhouse? Why should a resident of this community have to hold meetings at the Library or at a house of worship when we have facilities available to us in our very own Clubhouse? A Clubhouse for which we pay every single cent of the expenses including salaries and benefits for all of the employees and let us not forget the fact that we pay RENT in addition to the expenses.
If you feel as I do it is important that you make yourself heard. Write letters to the UCO Reporter, make telephone calls to the UCO office 683-9189, attend Committee meetings at the UCO office just outside the Okeechobee Blvd. gate, and perhaps most important of all, ATTEND THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY MEETINGS and speak to and vote on the issues that are presented.

THE ESSENCE OF A LEADER
A leader is a role model, one who takes his/her followers to a good place, one who emulates all that is right and makes mistakes, but always tries to do better and is not afraid of working with all others.
Words speak for themselves. We all know the adage, "the pen is mightier than the sword" so I will let the words speak for themselves, for the most part. Read and think.
Here are some of the traits of a good leader:
1. The leader is a person of truth, never afraid to meet it head on.
2. The leader is a person of honor, knowing no other way to behave.
3. The leader is a person who welcomes input and insight into the administration.
4. The leader is a person of transparency, with the administration and actions open to the public all the time.
5. The leader is a person who welcomes variety of viewpoints and thoughts, inviting all into the administration.
6. The leader is a person who mingles with the constituents, partaking of their daily life and regimen.
7. the leader is a person of versatility, able to conduct discourse in many areas, rather than just one.
8. A leader is one who administers properly, with skill, with tact, with humanity.
9. A leader is a person who follows the rules in gatherings rather than one who uses presumed power to intimidate, to threaten, and to shut others down.
10. A leader is a person who cares for the constituents, who knows their problems and who works to solve them, giving these issues priority.
11. A leader is a person who does not develop manias, mad focuses on meaningless or faulty projects with little chance of success.
12. A leader is a person who truly understands the needs of the constituents and works towards meeting these needs rather than meeting his/her own needs and desires.
13. A leader is a person of great financial stability, thrift, care, and honesty in working with the funds of the constituents.
14. A leader is a person who believes in fair play, who does not try to shut down the opposition by force, but rather by doing the right thing, acting the right way, being a proper leader.
15. A leader is a person who governs by consensus.
16. A leader is a person who leads by example.
17. A leader is a person who admits errors and works to fix them.
18. A leader is a person who is involved, who has an open door policy and who fully partakes of the amenities and in the lives of the constituents.
The words speak for themselves. If you read these words and cannot see the truth in front of you, I recommend you to Psalms and read carefully where it talks about those who willfully do not use their eyes, ears, and other gifts that G-d has given us, who will not see the truth in front of them, all around them. If you are one of those, I feel sorry for you and for the unhappy state of your life.

WHERE TO START? WHAT TO DO? WHAT'S GOING ON?
It is an impossible task, to delineate just what is going on in CV. It is almost unbelievable as a matter of fact. But first let me state something important that must be understood. When I write or speak, I do so for myself and my thoughts about what would be best for the Village. I do not speak for anyone nor does anyone speak for me. We might agree or disagree at times and that is okay and as it should be.
It is when an opposition force to the ideas and thoughts that are being verbalized tries to shut all those independent thinkers down that the trouble is clear and make no bones about it, my friends, that is exactly what is going on here and is now the most important issue at hand.
David Israel is incompetent at administration. He has no clue as to what to do or how to go about it. That is clear in the errors he has made and the structure he has set up, a crony oligarchy, a government of loyal suckups. It is obvious when one watches him at a delegate assembly where he frantically tries to control speakers.
He calls the delegates a Board of Directors. Fine. There is no point in arguing terminology but if that is the case, then ALL of us, all the owner residents, ARE THE STOCKHOLDERS AND IN THAT CASE ARE ENTITLED TO ATTEND, TO SPEAK, TO VOICE ANY OPINIONS WE WISH, TO BRING UP WHATEVER ISSUES WE WISH THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE VILLAGE AND FREE TO DO SO WITHOUT BEING SHUT DOWN.
In their very own words and deeds, the David Israel party has made it clear that they wish to follow the trend in the world outside and set up a crony oligarchy, where the only ones allowed into the administration are those who swear allegiance to the lord and master, in this case, David Israel. It is quite telling that the two speakers for his oligarchy at the assembly were TWO NON ELECTED PEOPLE WHO NOW SEEM TO BE HIS TWO MAIN DEPUTIES IF NOT ACTUALLY THE PUPPET MASTERS PULLING HIS INCOMPETENT STRINGS.
Gorodetzer stood up numerous times to speak, sometimes from the mic and sometimes simply standing up at her seat, sticking her finger in the air, as if that gave her permission to speak, and then would shout in her dulcet tones whatever she wanted, mainly words to the effect of shutting debate down. The questions were getting too close, too difficult to answer, too pressing. While she was allowed to speak freely at whatever length she wished, voice whatever she wanted to, as many times as she wished to - all others were ILLEGALLY shut down, contrary to Roberts's Rules and any sense of decency and decorum. I do not care what the reasons were - whether they were afraid or David Israel had to pee! They were wrong, monstrously so!
While I do not condone violence nearing fisticuffs, it was not Ed who started it. He is a passionate man who wishes well for the Village, is a great president of his association and wishes to share his knowledge and opinions as he is entitled to. He was shouted at quite rudely from a man who sat across the aisle from me and then Ed lost his temper, which has been known to happen. When that brouhaha was settled, David Israel then disallowed any other speakers, shutting down Jerry Karpf, denying Jean Dowling in as rude a manner as I have ever seen and did not listen to a word that others got up to say to protest against this treatment. When Jerry raised his hand in a particularly hateful salute, I understand the anger and feeling behind it, what with David Israel and his group actually behaving like stormtroopers, but the gesture is and always will be repugnant and has no place in our Village.
Yet the main issue is the denial of the rights of the stockholders, us, a growing movement here. David says shut up, Gorodetzer says she has no time to read the 7000 emails from residents here when she is rewriting our Constitution, the Articles of Incorporation, designating David Israel's personal residence as the official address of the Village, creating by laws that will totally shut down all but David Israel and crooked company for who knows how long, David Israel, violating Robert's Rules by engaging in shouted conversation and speeches from his position as chair, shuts it down, Gorodetzer shouts her nasty business and two people are expelled and the situation remains unchanged - we are being denied our rights.
Now, in what David Israel states is a great idea, he posts that idiot commentary by Elaine Brown who has a "great" idea or so he states. Basically, it states that no one should talk unless what you are gong to say has been vetted by UCO. Really? Is that where we are? We now have to clear our very thoughts and words with UCO?!!! Big Brother indeed. What will be next? Mics and cameras in our homes? Thought reform? Reeducation training at some forsaken and abandoned association? That idiot states that we should use the huge database on line at UCO. Really? It is all in the cloud, with all hard copies gone, all our history and GUESS WHO CONTROLS THE CLOUD, EVEN GOING SO FAR AS TO DENY ACCESS TO OTHER OFFICERS WHO HAVE DISPLEASED HIM. What and who does he think he is - another Stalin in disguise? Don't bring your ideas to the assembly. In other words, just shut up and take it. Well, while I was not feeling well and quite frankly was in despair on Friday at what happened and where we appear to be headed, if not already there, I am not throwing in the towel. There is hope for our future if we all work together and vote this man and his crew out of office, if we stand up to him and quite frankly, we all should have walked out on the assembly and denied him a quorum. Perhaps we need to do that next time he pulls another tantrum and violation of our rights.
I believe that this closing piece will say it all. It was sent to me by a friend in the Village. Read it and think about it. And do not forget the Messenger Club meeting where information pertinent to us here at the Village will be addressed. Clubhouse, today, party room, 3 PM
Listen up! Speak up! Stand up!
Read, enjoy, laugh, and think.
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the bull. They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bull shit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

YESTERDAY WAS A GOOD DAY
Yesterday was a good day. At the end of the day there was a wonderful feeling that only comes from knowing that the day's work was fine and dandy and well worth the time.
It began with a great session of the Century Village Book Club - Read It. Chat About It. A wonderful and stimulating discussion took place which began with The German Suitcase and then ranged into more universal and global interpretations. The book for December is The Far Side of the Sky by Daniel Kalla and we are all looking forward to another far ranging and energetic discussion. Everyone left with a great feeling and you are invited to come join us - read, think, talk. And then go for a swim or whatever you wish with a feeling of accomplishment.
The rest of the day was filled with friends and phone calls, books, etc. all just sweet things to do on a lovely day. The piece de resistance was the evening activity - a fund raising concert by FIDF - Friends of the Israel Defense Force which last year raised $90 million dollars and 100% of that went to the soldiers, buying them extra food, treats, vests, underwear, clothing, college education, visits home, help to the families of economically deprived soldiers, special vacation sites to relax and be kids again - which is what they are - special aid to families of fallen soldiers, trips for the siblings of these soldiers, and the list goes on.
The auditorium was packed and went wild as four lovely young ladies from the IDF came out and sang up a storm. They sang of hope for peace, of loss and love, of their homeland, of their trust in G-d, of the knowledge that this is the home of the Jewish people and for always it will remain so. By the end of the program people were jamming the stage and when the girls came down to the floor to dance with the audience there was joy and singing resounding throughout the auditorium. Throughout the program the audience sang along, cried, and clapped along with these lovely young ladies.
It was the perfect answer to the anti Semitic ass who has lately been ramping up his hate filled emails. We are here and here we will remain, be it the USA or Israel or England or France or wherever we choose to make our home. Your hate filed rhetoric will follow all those that came before you and all I wish for you is to follow them and share the same fate they have all had - defeat, loss, powerlessness and death and a reputation of shame that will last forever.
Yesterday was a good day. Wish all of them were this way.

AND THE DRIVEL KEEPS ROLLING ALONG....
Folks, you cannot make this up. They do it all on their own simply because they cannot help themselves. So let's examine what was said and done and the implications of it. Enjoy!
If you recall, it was David Israel who, for the third time a year or so ago, finally, through manipulation and delegate attendance and count, overthrew the term limits clause that had been operative in CV from the beginning. This then allowed him to run again, for a third time and for him to enjoy his plans for he now thought it would all be his for the taking. President, or rather, Dictator, for life. Yet suddenly - on Tuesday - at his planned to be limited meeting which discussed by laws, DAVID ISRAEL STATED THAT HE BELIEVED THAT ALL OFFICERS OF UCO SHOULD HAVE TERM LIMITS!!!!!! YES, YOUR EYES SAW CORRECTLY.
There is something seriously wrong with this man's mental faculties. Either that, or he is such a liar that he cannot help himself and says whatever he thinks befits the moment. First he fights to overturn term limits and now he states the opposite? The man is a liar, plain and simple and his words and statements cannot be counted on for anything.
Another example of this trend to lie by him is the statement made that we need to transfer the Wi Fi funds over to the general reserve funds and then only a short time ago, fought against this and was scared that the motion made at the last DA to initiate the transfer almost made it thru - and perhaps even did if the counting had been done in a more professional and impartial manner. Now he refuses to go along with his own statements. It just keeps on coming.
Then, of course, we have Ed Black and his secret negotiations for the security contract wherein he openly states that all information was privileged - yes, even from the officers- and this from a man who is not even an elected official of UCO. and why, you might ask, was this information kept from them? And I quote - "so that an Olga Wolkenstein person (or lady" - audio was low at that point) would not say things. Really? That is the excuse? That is why all the officers did not get the info? That is why David Israel took it upon himself to censor the emails with the lawyers about this contract? And who is the lawyer? Who is Shelly? Why do we not know all these details and never mind privilege. IT IS OUR MONEY THAT IS PAYING FOR THIS. OUR MONEY THAT IS PAYING $38,800 FOR THE CAMERAS THAT THIS CONTRACT WILL HAVE INSTALLED ALL AROUND THE VILLAGE. Yes, we are paying for our own Big Brother eyes all around us. Makes me shudder at the intrusion into our lives.
Now this contract is going to be presented at the DA on Friday, tomorrow and a vote on it will be put forth. It might even be a relatively good contract, but why the rush and why the lack of information and why can we not get the information on a fact sheet and be given a month to study it, to ask questions, to propose ideas. Who knows what the RFP for this looked like and that whole area of RFPs is a troubled area with UCO finally admitting that it needs a new template for them as the present RFPs that go out are awful. Well, Hallelujah! We have been saying that for years already.
Now for more drivel. Just a little factoid here. Ron Rosoff is going to be the one to stand up there and propose something about the Wi Fi. Be careful. This is a man with a filthy mouth, the same man, who at a Wi Fi meeting last year told me in open and loud volume that I "am a piece of shit!" Yup, again, your eyes saw correctly. This, is what is going to ask the DA for something. This deserves actually to be given a soaping for potty mouth!
Oh, and while we are on the topic of Wi Fi, be aware that these cameras in some areas will require associations to allow an easement for antennae to be installed so that Wi Fi is there for these cameras as this is what David Israel wants as the fiber laying would prove costly. The association will pay for the electric usage.Uh huh, another backdoor way for Wi Fi installation. Watch carefully and refuse to allow an easement. Keep Big Brother away from us. Before you know it, we will have people in the Village AS WELL AS PEOPLE IN MIAMI WATCHING US ALL DAY, EVERY DAY - NO PRIVACY, BIG BROTHER, ENGLAND WITH THEIR HUGE CCTV SYSTEM.
The point here is not whether the contract is good or bad. It might be a very good one, but the point is that I have no way of knowing that as I have no information about it and will not have any because that is the way things go here. The point is that there is still no process or procedure other than faulty and defective ones and that is what must change here along with other things if we are to have the UCO we need and deserve.
Finally, we have that anti Semitic ass responding to my question as to why we are allowing all these underage people to move into the Village? Why have we allowed one man to accumulate dozens of apartments, so many that he actually uses one as a motel to house the people he brings in from other countries for shopping trips! Why has UCO not done anything to help the last remaining resident there who is fighting this travesty and who now has cameras aimed at her, her unit, violating her privacy, her security, her attempts to live here in peace in CV? So his answer to my question as to why UCO does not try to do more - and yup, you guessed right - IT IS THE FAULT OF THE JEWS. THEY ARE LETTING ALL THESE PEOPLE IN. And he then specified certain people and organizations to flesh out his accusations. Why not go further - Jews control the media, the banks, the traffic signals, are capitalists and communists, have big noses, want your children and on and on - how much filth are you going to drag up, you ass. Why not come out and say who you are, but let me give you all a hint.
This person belongs to a specialized cloud hosting service and who do we know who would cherish such service and belong? I have my suspicions and the IP address and will ask my detective to do a little research, so keep on, my filthy friend, just keep on.
Why must this be the case here? Why can we not behave as adults and look how to improve our Village, how to install proper process and procedure, proper pathways of information, eliminate the control of one or two people. Why - because we are not allowed to. At the next election(s) vote carefully and demand of those who run that they state their views on this, on the wrong things that have been happening and on the right way to go about running our Village. Press them hard. Press them for the truth.
If you recall, it was David Israel who, for the third time a year or so ago, finally, through manipulation and delegate attendance and count, overthrew the term limits clause that had been operative in CV from the beginning. This then allowed him to run again, for a third time and for him to enjoy his plans for he now thought it would all be his for the taking. President, or rather, Dictator, for life. Yet suddenly - on Tuesday - at his planned to be limited meeting which discussed by laws, DAVID ISRAEL STATED THAT HE BELIEVED THAT ALL OFFICERS OF UCO SHOULD HAVE TERM LIMITS!!!!!!

Now for more drivel. Just a little factoid here. Ron Rosoff is going to be the one to stand up there and propose something about the Wi Fi. Be careful. This is a man with a filthy mouth, the same man, who at a Wi Fi meeting last year told me in open and loud volume that I "am a piece of shit!" Yup, again, your eyes saw correctly. This, is what is going to ask the DA for something. This deserves actually to be given a soaping for potty mouth!
Oh, and while we are on the topic of Wi Fi, be aware that these cameras in some areas will require associations to allow an easement for antennae to be installed so that Wi Fi is there for these cameras as this is what David Israel wants as the fiber laying would prove costly. The association will pay for the electric usage.Uh huh, another backdoor way for Wi Fi installation. Watch carefully and refuse to allow an easement. Keep Big Brother away from us. Before you know it, we will have people in the Village AS WELL AS PEOPLE IN MIAMI WATCHING US ALL DAY, EVERY DAY - NO PRIVACY, BIG BROTHER, ENGLAND WITH THEIR HUGE CCTV SYSTEM.
The point here is not whether the contract is good or bad. It might be a very good one, but the point is that I have no way of knowing that as I have no information about it and will not have any because that is the way things go here. The point is that there is still no process or procedure other than faulty and defective ones and that is what must change here along with other things if we are to have the UCO we need and deserve.
Finally, we have that anti Semitic ass responding to my question as to why we are allowing all these underage people to move into the Village? Why have we allowed one man to accumulate dozens of apartments, so many that he actually uses one as a motel to house the people he brings in from other countries for shopping trips! Why has UCO not done anything to help the last remaining resident there who is fighting this travesty and who now has cameras aimed at her, her unit, violating her privacy, her security, her attempts to live here in peace in CV? So his answer to my question as to why UCO does not try to do more - and yup, you guessed right - IT IS THE FAULT OF THE JEWS. THEY ARE LETTING ALL THESE PEOPLE IN. And he then specified certain people and organizations to flesh out his accusations. Why not go further - Jews control the media, the banks, the traffic signals, are capitalists and communists, have big noses, want your children and on and on - how much filth are you going to drag up, you ass. Why not come out and say who you are, but let me give you all a hint.
This person belongs to a specialized cloud hosting service and who do we know who would cherish such service and belong? I have my suspicions and the IP address and will ask my detective to do a little research, so keep on, my filthy friend, just keep on.
Why must this be the case here? Why can we not behave as adults and look how to improve our Village, how to install proper process and procedure, proper pathways of information, eliminate the control of one or two people. Why - because we are not allowed to. At the next election(s) vote carefully and demand of those who run that they state their views on this, on the wrong things that have been happening and on the right way to go about running our Village. Press them hard. Press them for the truth.

ELECTIONS AND THEIR MEANING
As I have stated often before, there are many comparisons to be made between the Village and the outside world. Yesterday was a day that teemed with these comparisons and lent itself to a great deal of thinking.
To work in the elections is a privilege. It awes me sometimes to think that a nobody like me is entitled to and granted the right to supervise elections, from local to nationwide, in my own little sphere. It amazes me that I am trusted to do this work right and to ensure to the best of my ability that all is done properly with no intimidation or secret processes other than the right to privacy for the voter.
And therein lies the immediate comparison to the Village, much to the detriment of the Village. In our elections there is a great deal of secrecy, of not letting people know what is going on, a lack of assurance of both privacy and transparency. If I tried to skew elections in the Clubhouse yesterday it would have been very difficult and nigh on to impossible. Everything is out in the open; there are double checks and triple checks, poll watchers, people moving about going about their business and yet think of our own Village elections.
In CV there is both no privacy and no transparency. Certain people are constantly looking over people's shoulders, seeing what they are doing, how they are voting. People are carrying ballots around without a partner of the opposing party or candidate and tallyers are not via machine, but by hand and then told not to tally final figures as "someone else will do that". Rules and regulations are not enforced or even purposefully broken, all in the name of insuring victory to the chosen few.
As opposed to that, the elections yesterday were bound by rules to ensure fairness and impartiality. NOTHING was done alone. No one was intimidated or checked to see how one was voting. Seats were provided for those who needed them and all was done to make sure the voters felt comfortable, private, yet near to any help that they needed with no threats or tit for tat demanded. Too bad we cannot say the same for our own elections here when pre time voters were allowed in, incorrect voters were allowed, sole people with biased viewpoints had control of ballots, and the balloting itself was COMPLETELY UNOBSERVED by neutral or opposing parties.
Another thought that came to mind was the population that showed up to vote. First of all, there was an amazing turnout. Each precinct had great working crews and all worked very hard in the onslaught of the voters and dealt with any issues with calm and good humor. But even more important was the population that showed up. I have been working elections for quite some time here in the Village and this election was the most varied in terms of ethnicities and especially ages. The ethnicities is simply a sign of changing and diversifying populations and that was fine, but what was most concerning was the large and growing number of underage CV people who came to vote - HERE WHERE THEY LIVE. Why were 30 year old people voting here? Why are they living here? We saw couples, married and not, single people, and so many under the age of 55 and not even close to it. Obviously, they had either bought or rented and were allowed to do so despite the fact that this is a 55+ community, a SENIOR community. If we are not careful, we will lose that designation and be required to pay regular taxes to which we are exempt and face other issues. Pembroke Pines CV already has had loss of that in many buildings and for sure we do not want that to happen here.
What should be happening is that UCO should be coming up with plans, with possibilities to stop this, with ideas, with pathways to insuring that we remain what we all came here for - a senior 55+ community, for if we had wanted a full service or mixed community we would have bought there in the first place!!! UCO should not be fooling around with foolish and expensive Wi Fi plans that will further insure our financial debacle. They should not be fiddling with plans that might even encourage MORE underage residents to come here and that would be a disaster in more ways than one. UCO has its sights set on the wrong targets and why? Because it all comes from the heads of David Israel, Ed Black and related henchmen.
It is that twisted viewpoint and dangerously wrong thinking that stems from the head, that allows people to spew filth and hatred, calling people "low class Jews", to encourage prejudice in the Village, to favor small loyal and truly bought followers, like the parasites that leech onto big predators of the animal world.
So, people, where are we going from here? Some of my candidates and wishes were successful and some not and I can live with it because I know to the best of my ability it was done properly, impartially and fairly. I know that the issues were discussed, well publicized and nothing held back. But I cannot say the same for here. Here, we have secrecy and lies. Here we have blockages of rights. Here we have nefarious plans to maintain power in the hands of a new oligarchy, a new aristocracy that subscribes to the political theories of fascists and dictators. Here we have Constitutions and Amendments being rewritten in secret and in haste and without public explanation, especially with sufficient explanation, presentation and time to think. Here, it is all WRONG!!! Here, all is a lie.
So we must ring out the warning bells and hope that enough people hear, listen and act. So many people approached me yesterday and asked me if I were planning another go at the seat of the President of UCO and my answer - it is a long time away. Truthfully, I am tired of the garbage going on here, tired of the filth and the curses, tired of the sneakiness and nastiness, tired of the stupidity. Truthfully, there would have to be some great times of thinking, of advising, of shows of support in order to get me to do this once again. But that does not mean that there is any decision and nor does it mean that there are not other positions to be had.
Time will tell but we are running out of time on other issues such as the rewriting of the Articles, of the horrendous Wi Fi issue, of the crappy roads and walkways, or the wastage of so much of our money and of the secrecy of this administration, of the power seized and been given in cases to non elected officials and of the same people on every committee, every media organ of the Village to the exclusion of all else. People, this is what we can act on now. This is what we need to do NOW.

WHAT A QUAINT IDEA!
Today is Election Day. Here in the Clubhouse and at Anshe Shalom the Village votes on politics of the world outside. We have all gotten the telephone calls, the repeated political mail, have read articles, seen the ads on TV, even perhaps have met some of the candidates and wow! might even have seen and listened to a debate. What a quaint idea!
In fact, all of these things listed above are deemed quaint, useless, out of date, not important, or perhaps too dangerous to allow the average voter to have access to the information dispensed - and where does this viewpoint exist? Why right here in our Village, our home, right here in the good old USA!! And who has deemed this the rule of the day here in CV? Why, good old David Israel, good old Ed Black, good old Marilyn Gorodetzer. Just ask David Israel to debate an opponent and watch him turn even paler, with the sweat beading on his forehead at the mere thought of such a thing.
All of their work is done in secret, like the Star Chambers of old, when people were convicted and executed in secret. All here in the Village is done in secret. Nothing happens and then suddenly there is a posting on the other blog by Barbara Cornish just overflowing with "gratitude" to Ed Black for the most wonderful security contract. Really? I know we were looking at contracts but were any details published? Were comparisons of the contract made public? Did the information, rules, obligations, costs specifications - ANYTHING - get publicized and laid open for public viewing and comments? The answer is a resounding NO, for never is anything made public here. Never is anything done in the open. Never is the apparent great "unwashed" masses of the Village allowed any insight into the innards of UCO and just what the hell makes one contract better than the other and this is done with nigh onto everything. When something finally gets aired, we are told how wonderful it is and how hard "our" UCO has worked on achieving this wonder of modern times - all for us! Uh huh!
Right! And who wants to buy the Tunnel? Who wants to buy the Bridge? But we are tired of buying the garbage that has been the standard output of this UCO. Today we are going to vote, a privilege and responsibility. We are going to vote after having had the opportunity and privilege of being informed to the degree we chose. We do not have that opportunity, that right, here in the Village and what do we get? We get contracts such as the paving with M&M - wow, that was a great deal for us - NOT! We get a supposed wonderful Wi Fi contract proposal and with whom - the same company that messed up major in Boca CV and we are so lucky that David Israel et al have decided to bestow their substandard work and capabilities on us. How sweet! How kind! How thoughtless! And we continue along that line with the sudden sneaky plans of rewriting OUR constitution, the Articles of Incorporation, and its Amendments - the bylaws.
More of this garbage is waiting for us unless we stand up and vote no on items flipped at us as if we are dogs waiting for a bone, a treat from the leftovers. Speak up and demand publicity. Demand time to get to know facts and time to think. Demand Town Halls here in the Village and demand answers and reasons and explanations and cost analyses and anything else you want.
Yes, we are "malcontents". We are malcontents for the Village, for the situation we are in, for the rights we are deprived of, as if we lived in a dictatorial country - oh, right - we do, right here in CV in Palm Beach County, Florida, USA. And whose fault - all of ours if we do not put a stop to it and right now.
READ THE ALTERNATIVE BLOG POSTINGS RIGHT HERE AND ON GARY'S BLOG. HEAR THE VOICES OF PEOPLE OTHER THAN THE USUAL SHILLS FOR DAVID ISRAEL. DEMAND YOUR RIGHTS. COME TO THE MESSENGER CLUB MEETING ON SUNDAY AT 3 IN THE PARTY ROOM. SEE THE MOVIE IN THE THEATER, ENJOY, AND THEN GAIN KNOWLEDGE. THERE ARE NO SIDES HERE EXCEPT FOR THE SIDE THAT IS ON THE VILLAGE'S SIDE.
VOTE TODAY AND THEN DEMAND THE SAME RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES HERE.

DO NOT LET THEM SHUT YOU OUT. I WOULD BE THERE EXCEPT THAT I AM WORKING IN THE ELECTIONS. PLEASE, TAKE THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY FOR AN HOUR OR SO AND GO!!!
THE CONSTITUTION OF CENTURY VILLAGE
Every political entity must have a constitution, be it a synagogue, a social organization, a city or even a Century Village. As such, our constitution is the Articles of Incorporation. That is how our Village is structured, how it is meant to function. The by laws are almost like the Amendments to the Constitution. It changes and updates, but NOTE that all changes are done IN THE OPEN. They are debated and discussed for quite some time and the individual states must then have its own referendums and votes and decide to approve or not. It is a long process and must be upheld or else the changes will not happen nor be legal.
That is not what is happening here. Imagine if overnight we woke up to find that the President of the USA made himself into the dictator of the country. Imagine if the President of the USA behaved as Putin of Russia is doing and setting up an oligarchy, a ruling class of buddies, pals, sycophants and crooks, amoral people with only their wallets and egos deemed to be important. There would be an uproar, civil violence and ultimately it simply would not fly.
Well, now look at our situation. We have a President of UCO who has singlehandedly decided to change the Constitution of Century Village. To do this, he has used henchmen, in particular, Marilyn Gorodetzer, to rewrite the constitution without any input from others - okay, probably Ed Black was in the mix too - and then sprang it upon the so called committee who themselves were shocked at the negation of the process we are supposed to have. The reading of these changes were done in such a way so that no word would get out, especially with details. No copies were allowed - EYES ONLY - and the reading was esoteric - NSA style.
Within these changes, David Israel, who had already overturned our democracy with a negation of our term limits, contrary to the growing rule in politics all over the world, now decided that he had to be acknowledged as the dictator, the ruler, of CV, with his personal address as the official address for official mail for CV. What happened to UCO, you know, that building at the Okeechobee gate??!!!!
What happened to designating the president - whomever that might be - as the agent, not David Israel. Are we never to have another president until he dies or is carried off? Is he going to appoint a successor, another person who has not been elected to UCO, and thus continue this dictatorial reign, this new constitution of the Village, this overthrow and destruction of all that CV was and is supposed to be?
This will happen. This is happening right now. Why - because people are too frightened of the man. People are kept in the dark. People are ignorant - willingly or not - of the nefarious true goals and aims of this man and his crew.
How is it that one nasty person, non elected, Marilyn Gorodetzer, is allowed to draw up the blueprints of our future? How is it that a non elected official is allowed to be the chairman of about 5 or 6 committees, including some very important ones? How is it that only the hand chosen, the members of a new oligarchy here in the Village are allowed to participate in UCO? How is it that volunteers are either known to be loyal to David Israel or are bought into the program and anyone else is locked out? How is it that we have gotten into this situation and how do we get out?
How do we know that this is the plan? Because it is happening right now in his secret meetings. It is happening in the onslaught of lies about the Wi Fi program. It is happening in the crazy and confusing reports of the budget wherein no one seems to know how much more we will truly be paying over the next year. It is happening in the oh so sweet meetings set up with David Israel wherein he evinces such concern, expresses this to the presidents called in, and replete with lies - and when they are over, he reverts back to the tap tapper he is. Just what is he doing there all day on Sunday?
And why does this man not condemn the hateful spewings of prejudice and hatred that pour forth from the mouths and computers of his followers? Why? Because it all flows from the top. Either condemn or be known to condone and he has not condemned. So I and some others are called "low class Jews", are called bags of shit, are told that we are guilty of horrendous crimes, and are threatened with bodily harm and expulsion from the Village.
People of the Village. I got into this a year go when I could not tolerate the shenanigans any longer, when I knew I had to step up, when I realized that I had to do more. Personally, I could care less who is elected, who has what position if I knew that they had the betterment of the Village and its residents at heart. So, sorry, Gracie, your constant litany of telling me I won't get elected ever to anything or that I am a sore loser - G-d, will you ever grow up? - they are drivel to my ears. What we need are honest, caring and earnest people who know how to work with a consensus, who know process and procedure, who know prioritizing, whose egos are not rampant and foremost, who have no desire to take over anyplace and become dictators, who have no interest in establishing a crooked aristocracy.
So, people of the Village - step up to the plate. Insure that you OPT OUT of Wi Fi, that you vote NO NO NO on any changes to the Articles, our Constitution, and any changes in the bylaws, before you know exactly what the ramifications are. Demand many Town Halls and freedom to question, to ask, to understand and to say NO. We, the residents of the Village are the ones who run the Village. The public servants who work in UCO are just that and if they do not understand that fact then let them get out, quit, be thrown out of office, resign, be recalled, move away, anything - but leave us alone to run things the way they should be and let us have the future we deserve.
That is not what is happening here. Imagine if overnight we woke up to find that the President of the USA made himself into the dictator of the country. Imagine if the President of the USA behaved as Putin of Russia is doing and setting up an oligarchy, a ruling class of buddies, pals, sycophants and crooks, amoral people with only their wallets and egos deemed to be important.

The public servants who work in UCO are just that and if they do not understand that fact then let them get out, quit, be thrown out of office, resign, be recalled, move away, anything - but leave us alone to run things the way they should be and let us have the future we deserve.

MORE FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THOSE WHO CALLED ME A "LOW CLASS JEW"
Jewish actress Maureen Lipman scorns Miliband over Palestine vote
AND I ASK YOU ALL - CHOOSE CAREFULLY WHEN ONE CHOOSES LEADERS OF UCO
One of Britain’s most popular actresses and comediennes, Maureen Lipman, has told opposition leader Ed Miliband that after five decades of being a socialist and voting for the Labor Party, she will no longer support his party “until it is once more led by mensches.”
In an article for Standpoint magazine, Lipman launched a strongly worded and typically humorous attack on the increasingly hapless Labor leader, citing a number of what she suggested were inexcusable ‘faux pas’ for withholding her vote in next May’s general election.
Miliband, Lipman said, “comes from a family of secular Jews, but his need for union approval is much greater than his need for Jewish support.” Noting that Jews make less than 1% of the UK population, she pondered, “Why should we care if we vote for him or not?” Answering her rhetorical question, she disclosed that at a recent gathering Miliband asked her whether she was a “practising Jew.” Lipman said she replied that she was “constantly practising, but seldom achieving,” before adding that she did “her best.”
The Labor leader then enquired whether she “did Shabbat dinners.” Lipman told him she did when she could and followed it up with an invitation to join her. Having expressed “enthusiasm to learn more about their religion” both sides agreed to let their assistants arrange a mutually convenient date.
But, Lipman noted, “Two days later, he was all over the papers knocking back a bacon sandwich” and while she accepted there was “nothing intrinsically wrong with a secular Jew chomping a thinly sliced pan-fried pig rump,” that was “his choice.”
That issue aside, she revealed she had delayed sending an invitation to Miliband, because since then he had got “something else between his teeth” – Israel.
“Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse,” Lipman noted, anti-Semitism was “mounting savagely” across several countries in Europe. “Just when cemeteries, synagogues, and shops were once again under threat” and when “virulence against a country defending itself against 4,000 rockets and 32 tunnels inside its borders, in steps Mr. Miliband to demand that the government recognize the “State of Palestine” alongside the State of Israel.”
She catalogued the inevitable reaction to the vote as “applause from the unions, smiles of approbation from the far Left, and shock and horror from the Jewish Board of Deputies” and asked, why did he do this and why now? She attacked Miliband, reminding him that as an actress she is often commended for her timing, and asserting, “Frankly, my dear, yours sucks!” She reminded him that the world is “exploding around us,” Islamic State is beheading civilians while raping and pillaging across Syria and Iraq, Hong Kong might see a replay of Tiananmen Square, and there is Islamist terrorism “in every spot of the globe.”
“If one Jew had been responsible for any of these bombings, there would, I am afraid to say, have been another Kristallnacht and at this point in our history, you choose to back these footling backbenchers in this ludicrous piece of propaganda.”
Lipman asked Miliband to explain where were the photographs of the civilian dead from the allied bombing of Iraq, or the daily count of dead and maimed babies and the howling mothers and screaming old women from Gaza” a reference to the Labor Party’s support for UK air strikes on ISIS in Iraq while registering strong opposition to Israeli air strikes on Gaza in response to rocket fire into Israel.
“May I remind you that no one is tunneling into Dover or sending rockets into Coventry, yet we seem to have every right to bomb the living daylights out of Iraq… Conclusion: one law for the Israelis, another law for the rest of the world. Plus ca change,” she said.
In conclusion, Lipman said she would vote for “almost any other party” until Labor is once again led by “mensches,” which one UK newspaper explained to its non-Jewish readership as meaning people with integrity and honor.

MUSINGS OF CV - SURFACE AND UNDERBELLY
So, woke up this morning curled up under the blanket and it was freezing! We had left all the windows open and while it was delicious for sleeping, it was less so for walking around. Think my toes froze when they hit the floor barefoot! But these are the nights that I love, with no AC, cool enough to enjoy a blanket and some solid hours of sleep.
It was a bonus after attending a truly enjoyable show last nite at the clubhouse, with Neil Zirconia doing a great job. He has great audience charisma, sounds just like the real thing and too bad every seat was not filled. If you did not attend - your loss and make sure to buy seats if he returns next year. His show was different than last year's but still included some standards that are a must.
But while sitting there, singing and clapping, I looked around and saw many people I knew and many I did not, but what I did not see were people from UCO. Perhaps I missed one or two but I NEVER see David Israel or Ed Black or any of these so called big shots at a Clubhouse show. Why is that? Why do these people NEVER ever mix with the residents of the Village unless there as an advantage to it for them? Sure, they will be at the newbies meeting, for there they can present their one sided intros to the Village and they will set up oh so friendly meetings with the various presidents as David Israel puts on his sheep in a wolf's clothing smile and talks ever so sweet to the people, as if he cared, when his only motive is to push his agenda. Otherwise, there would be more contact during the rest of the year. But there is not, for he sits like Ursula, crouched in his chair and tap tap tapping away all day long, Sundays included, no life, and thus no understanding what it is that is truly needed here. Hey, David, if you want a project, go look into the new solar e trees that Israeli innovation has created. That is far more advantageous to the Village then this proposed Wi Fi which will be security dangerous, user unfriendly as it will be overwhelmed with usage at peak times and completely unnecessary as there are so much less costly options. But why bother with other ideas, right? Keep your blinder blocked viewpoint as usual. Learn to be open to new and positive ideas and even if not good for now, or we need time to investigate - we MUST NOT RUSH INTO ANYTHING. The technology and ideas are flowing, changing and we need not commit ourselves to a minimum of one to two million dollars and ugly infrastructure and noise and dust and who knows how many years till completion when the alternatives and better ways are there. Sometimes waiting is the prudent thing to do.
Jangor, a resident who commented on other blogs, asked is there not anything positive about the Village? The answer is resoundingly yes!!!! There is much that is positive about living here. I love it here and only want to insure that it remains a wonderful and viable place where one can live and enjoy life without worrying about crazy hikes in fees, crazy and narcissistic people at the helm, and anything else that will ruin our way of life here. I believe that we need to remind people that we are living in the USA and have not ceded our rights simply because we are in this gated community. If one does not care about a place, then one does not invest hours of time, money, energy, etc. in an effort to keep it so and to save it from the likes of what we now have in office, who achieved that office by using stealth, the deficits of some people, and sheer nastiness.
But then again, what do I know, for according to the David Israel camp I am just a "low class Jew" out to steal and rob, salivating after your money. That, Mr. Jangor, whoever you are, is what we now have at the helm - a group of hate mongers, hate purveyors, sneaks and liars. They condone such viewpoints and language and have never condemned it.
We have managed to survive despite these people and will continue to endeavor that we keep on, but how much easier, more pleasant would it be if thinking people such as you, would delve beneath the surface and see the truth. It is not a pleasant position to be in, to present the truth, to present the ugly underbelly of things, but such is the task we "malcontents" have taken on. For our benefit? Yes, for we will benefit along with the residents of which we are too. We will not benefit in any other way and truthfully, would love to sink back into anonymity and enjoy life at the pool, reading books, going to clubs, etc and for others to run UCO - as long as they are honest and caring of and for the residents.
But at present we cannot sink into anonymity for now there is a truly nasty plan to totally overthrow the structure of the Village with a sneak attack on our Articles of Incorporation and our by-laws. These changes that are proposed, and proposed in the dark, in secret, with three people making them up - all three nasty, nasty dudes - will kill our way of life here and that is their motive. Mr. Jangor, we ask that you and all thinking people understand what is truly going on here. Contact us, as Olga suggested and sit over a cup of coffee, a cup of cocoa! or soda or whatever, and listen to the truth.
