1. Introduction.
The Cambridge Machine lives in a world of its own.
It is impossible to tell if this dishonest reality is corruption with regard to any particular individual.
What is possible to say is that, as a group, this dishonest reality has to be considered corruption on a large scale.
Corruption in government is a failure to serve based on dishonesty. Money / other payments are incidental.
Failure to serve based on dishonesty is the game.
Failure to serve based on manipulation of well intentioned people by fake groups with connection to the government is the game.
Blatant corruption.
2. Honest comment, honest response.
A. Well meaning individual, quoting.
Yesterday, I wrote:
> And why does one City Councilor think just asking about potential
> conflicts of interest (both Microsoft and Google are vendors
> to Cambridge) is "destructive"?
Since I called out Leland Cheung so provocatively above, I hope the moderator will permit me an extended clarification.
Having had a conversation with Councilor Cheung, I believe that his intent was miscommunicated when he told me my questions
were "destructive".
What Leland was trying to communicate was that the tone of those questions would be destructive to my relationship with the City. That turned out to be self evidently true given Deputy City Manager Rich Rossi's statement to me.
Leland has told me, and I believe him, that he considers these questions perfectly legitimate. He's also said,
and not just on this occasion, that he's advocated on my behalf in order to get the City to listen my
opinions.
Leland isn't the problem here. The problem is a City administration that believes it can set the terms of acceptable debate and
only respond to questions it wants to answer. Leland shouldn't have to spend any time advocating on my behalf. The City should be listening on its own.
As we head into what are going to be heated discussions about development in our neighborhood, we need to be cognizant of a City administration that's ready to tune us out and seems to be more respectful of corporate voices than it is of informed, engaged citizens.
Our elected representatives will have the opportunity to change this culture when they approve a new City Manager. I believe that they should insist on a manager whose core values include openness, transparency and inclusiveness, and who has a proven track record of management skills sufficient to make this cultural change happen.
I, for one, will be judging them on how they rise to this occasion.
B. My response.
[ ]'s comment / clarification reaffirms the grave failure of the Cambridge City Council in not firing the Cambridge City Manager a long time ago.
My analysis of the situation is considerably less kind. I agree with the civil rights judge, and the jury, and the Appeals Court panel. Monteiro v. Cambridge. I think the trial judge's word, "reprehensible", says plenty, and it is the very same mentality.
As far as Councilor Cheung goes, his honeymoon with me ended with the totally inexcuseable destruction and mass animal killings at Alewife. The current outrage at the Nesting Area and the impending destruction of the parking lot at the foot of Magazine Street achieved through the usual lies of omission just adds to the long standing, very bad situation.
C. The machine’s response.
The comment was on the Cambridgeport listserve.
The response was submitted to the Cambridgeport listserve.
The response was censored.
The machine commonly censors reality, either formally, as in this censorship, or informally by simply not listening.
Blatant corruption.
3. The lies of omission on the Charles River.
The fake neighborhood association which claims to be defending Magazine Beach / Cambridgeport is not at all unusual.
The fake neighborhood association which claims to be defending Magazine Beach / Cambridgeport contains people who very clearly are associated with individuals in other such groups.
The poor dears can get very indignant over almost anything. They are constantly indignant and almost as constantly fighting against the causes they claim to stand for.
It is impossible to say which is a knave or which is a fool.
And it is really irrelevant because the knaves and the fools are indistinguishable.
The nonsense, outright lies or lies of omission, coming out of these people is very much nonstop, and they are very indignant about it.
If they know the comment, whether outright or by omission, is a lie, they are liars.
If they make a comment and do not know what they are talking about, they are liars because implicit in the indignant statement is a statement that they know what they are talking about. And, if they do not know what they are talking about, they are lying.
Blatant corruption.
4. Implementation in the fake group’s attack on Magazine Beach.
They have for a few months now, run around lying that they are concerned about Magazine Beach.
The constant proclamations of indignant and concern by a large number of controlled people gives the lie of concern.
Constant claims of wanting to improve are part of the lies.
The fake group has prohibited negative comment in response to a presentation on Magazine Beach by the destructive Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Blatant corruption.
Dishonesty in fact by lying by omission, omitting reality by shouting it down.
This fake group has put on a history of Magazine Beach which omitted the last 12 years of destruction and heartless animal abuse.
Blatant corruption.
Dishonesty in fact by lying by omission, omitting reality by shouting reality down.
Since their world does not include the last 12 years, their world does not include the heartless animal abuse inflicted on the Charles River White Geese. In response to non stop lies of no intention to harm.
Since their world does not include the last 12 years, their world does not include the walling off of Magazine Beach, starving the Charles River White Geese, and preventing the possibility of swimming. In response to a lie from the DCR that promised a lawn to the river. In response to a lie from the falsely named Charles River Conservancy that walling off Magazine Beach would improve swimming. In response to non stop lying from the DCR that they are working to improve water related activities.
Since their world does not include the last 12 years, their world does not include the dumping of poisons on the banks of the Charles to keep alive sickly grass introduced to replace healthy grass that survived the better part of a century.
Since their world does not include the last 12 years, their world does not include the downsizing of the Magazine Beach playing fields, downsizing to install fancy drain systems to drain off poisons that should not be dumped on the banks of the Charles River.
Since their world does not include the last 12 years, their world does not include the destruction of the boat dock which existed for the better part of a century. It is still there, but access is walled off. In response to promises to do nothing but put in uses that use the Charles River.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern do not include concerns for reversing these outrages. The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern are just more lies.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern do not include remediations in the Nesting Area for the destruction associated with the BU Bridge project.
But they yell so loudly that they are lying that they are concerned and they keep people away from the very severe damage.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern include false praise for the outrage / new thicket being installed in place of the key nesting area of the Charles River White Geese. The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern including shouting down honest condemnation of this outrage.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern include praise for the historical building to the west of the playing fields.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern include praise for the picnic area west of the playing fields.
The nonstop pieties and proclamations of concern do not include any more than they can help mention of their fight to destroy the parking for the historical building and picnic area. Thus they lie by omission that they are fighting to destroy the picnic area. Thus they lie by omission that they are fighting to hurt access to the historical building.
Blatant corruption.
5. Application in the retaliation by the city government against those who live in reality.
The shouting down of reality includes shunning of those who have the nerve to notice reality.
The censoring of reality is part of the lies of omission.
The shouting down of reality exactly fits the destruction of the life of Malvina Monteiro in retaliation for her filing a civil rights complaint.
The shouting down of reality exactly fits total indifference to the destruction of the life of Malvina Monteiro.
Blatant corruption.
6. Application as part of broadbased corruption.
This fake group is by no means an exception.
The fake groups have come into existence during the reign of the Sullivan / Healy administration with clear admiration of the Sullivan / Healy administration, and with very major connections to the Sullivan / Healy administration and to individual city council incumbents.
Blatant Corruption.
