1. Photos from a normal, decent human being.

Claribel Santiago went to feed the Charles River White Geese yesterday, December 28, 2014.

She provided the following photos.








2. How we got to this place, abridged.

The Charles River White Geese were able to care for themselves until Cambridge and its friends started to deliberately starve them.  And the Cambridge City Council has the nerve to yell at the circus occasionally running through Cambridge.  At least the Circus does not starve its animals.

And the Cambridge City Council has the nerve to call itself holier than thou.

The Charles River Urban Wild Initiative has been doing a heroic job in defending these beautiful valuable, 33 year residents from this heartless abuse.  And others come in as well to stand up for beauty in our world themselves by feeding these magnificent beings.

3. Responsible alternative.

a. Introduction.

The vileness of the Cambridge City Council is made that much worse with the fake groups they have running around working to continuate the inexcusable starvation and make the outrage on the Charles River worse.

The starvation policy is made even worse by the fact that all that is necessary to correct the starvation is to implement the promises made when the starvation was commenced.  It is very easy to undo these lies and the associated outrages.

b. What to do.

(1) Behave at Magazine Beach like Cambridge’s friends in the destructive state bureaucracy behave everywhere else on the Charles River Basin.

Remove the starvation wall.  Cambridge’s friends at the state of Massachusetts chop down all bordering vegetation on the Charles River Basin twice a year, except for the starvation wall at Magazine Beach.  Chop down the starvation wall twice a year like everything else.

Cambridge’s vile friends implement a policy they keep as secret as possible except to brag about it to explain their and Cambridge’s heartless destruction.

Their policy is to kill off or drive away all resident animals.

The starvation wall was constructed in violation of a formal policy to create a lawn to the river.

The starvation wall was constructed in spite of non stop lies to do “no harm” to the Charles River White Geese.

(2) Practice what these heartless frauds preach.  Reverse introduced vegetation.

First of all, the starvation wall is very clearly very destructive introduced vegetation which has no business on the Charles River.

Secondly, there is much more introduced vegetation attacking the environment.

The second repair that is needed is to reverse a lie of omission.

The grass the Charles River White Geese fed off for most of the last 33 years has been destroyed and replaced with sickly grass that needs to be fed poisons to keep it alive.

Feeding that sickly stuff poisons to keep it alive makes it very clearly introduced and dangerous to all.  All that is necessary to undo this outrage is to spend the money on seeds for the grass which was destroyed, and seed responsible grass instead of seeding poison.

Instead, Cambridge and their state bureaucrats destroyed playing fields to build an elaborate system of poison drainage to drain off poisons that should not in any level of responsible behavior be there at all.

c. Summary.

The manager of the project which created this outrage is the current Cambridge City Manager.

Part of the deal in which the City of Cambridge spent millions doing this outrage, along with state money, was that Cambridge was given the right to manage Magazine Beach.

But Cambridge wants to lie that Cambridge is a responsible community.

Cambridge is hiding behind that lie by refusing to take control of the area they paid to take control.

And the Cambridge City Council constantly lies of its saintliness.

4. Reprehensible Government, reprehensible fake group.

a. Summary.

But Cambridge’s friends have their own idea.  They want to destroy more grass.

They want to replace the undestroyed excellent grass west of the Magazine Beach playing fields with more of the sick stuff requiring poisons.  And they want to destroy the little guys' parking lot at the foot of Magazine Street.  And they want to install part of a bike highway which is the latest excuse for massive tree destruction funded by the state with the blessing of a silent City Council, and a very active Cambridge Development Department.

This would be in addition to destroying those hundreds of trees and more animal habitat between the BU Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge using $20 million in that state vote the Cambridge City Council blessed with its silence.

b. Fake group corruption.

Cambridge’s fake group put their expansion of Cambridge’s outrage to a public meeting where it looked like responsible people would vote them down.  So the fake group used corrupt tactics to steal the vote, and have proceed was if they and their fake vote were worthy of even the slightly level of respect.

The fake group is implementing their corrupt vote and putting their outrages out in public as if they were responsible people.  They even stoop so low as to commend heartless animal abuse through lies about the entire thing, and a pitch to do more.

Here is a copy of their bragging of their vileness in a show in the City of Cambridge’s building containing its Development Department, a show created in coordination with City of Cambridge appointees and sitting blatantly in public.



And, of course, the fake group has been conducting fake discussions in their meetings lying of concern for the Charles River through controlling the agenda, and preventing responsible discussion.

They have drastically reduced the frequency of their meetings to prevent discussion of the terrible things they are doing.

At least their leader is running away from the rottenness he has been a part of creating.  He is not seeking reelection.  He is getting away before the destruction his group has been fighting for becomes obvious to the well intended people who think his company union is worthy of respect.

5. Final Summary.

This is part of how a truly reprehensible government does the terrible things it does.

Good Charles River White Geese show on WMBR archives, will be gone Monday.

Good Charles River White Geese show on WMBR archives, will be gone Monday.

I am sorry about the delay in reporting this, but I do tend to try to do everything and that can result in defering very important things.

Bird Listening on WMBR Radio did a show on the Charles River White Geese and the Charles River almost two weeks ago.

The show is extremely good.

It features one segment with me talking and another segment which is email reading / analysis of comments from the coleader of the Charles River Urban Wilds Initiative who feed the Charles River White Geese since they are being deliberately starved by Cambridge and its friends.

The CRUWI leader, in particular, did an extremely good job.

The show is on the internet in its current form for only a day and a half more although I would love to figure out how to save it formally and post it on this blog.  Suggestions are strongly and promptly encouraged.

I hope you will get a chance to review the show.

The URL is http://wmbr.org/cgi-bin/arch, and the particular show is stored in chronological order, last in first out, at Mon Dec 15 05:00 pm.

Charles River: Future Home of Cambridge / Grand Junction’s Commuter Trains?

Charles River: Future Home of Cambridge / Grand Junction’s Commuter Trains?

1. Introduction.
2. On Ground Photos, November 20, 2014.




1. Introduction.

I have previously reported in detail on the corrupt maneuvers by Cambridge / its friends to get Commuter Rail on the Grand Junction railroad in spite of no public notice and strong voter opposition.

The details were presented in my analyses to the state’s environmental people in two MEPA filings, posted as follows:

a. Rebuilding of I90 (Mass.Pike).

Original: http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/charles-river-mass-pike-project-runs.html
Mod http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/expansion-of-i90-change-thoughts-to.html

b. Expansion of South Station.

http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/south-station-expansion-project.html

The game is that South Station is being expanded to accommodate commuter rail to Fall River and New Bedford, but the proposed expansion does not leave any room for anything else.  Thus ALL new commuter rail which would go to South Station will result in commuter rail traffic on the Grand Junction.

I presented a responsible alternative which expands on a proposal being propounded by folks who want a north-south rail connection between South Station and North Station (home of the Bruins and Celtics) in Boston.

Here is my mark up of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s map of the Grand Junction.  The thick arrows indicate the conflict with existing traffic.




On the Charles River, this will result in untold numbers of killings of the Charles River White Geese and other resident animals since these trains will be going as fast as they can get away with straight through their habitat.  Current trains are very limited, go slowly through the area and are operated by commendable train engineers.

Animal killings fit the goals of the Department of Conservation and Recreation which previously have been assisted by the Cambridge City Council.  They follow on mass killings as part of the destruction of 3.4 Alewife reservation by the two.

Cambridge's public position on heartless animal abuse is posted in a propaganda piece presented as some sort of show in the City Hall Annex:



There was added to the Mass. Pike project money to create a commuter rail station as part of the project after MassDOT declared the commuter rail station would not be part of the Mass. Pike project.

Here are maps of the Mass. Pike project area, first the current situation with my addition of a possible Green Line A spur connecting the area to the existing Green Line B in one direction and Harvard Station in the other, with two neighborhood stops and an added Boston University stop.



Second are the current plans being considered with NO MENTION that ALL trains from the proposed West Station would go through Cambridge (or alternate trains which fit the schedule better).  This plan is taken from the South Station filing.



The stunt was forced on MassDOT, it would appear.  West Station funding as part of the package was added after MassDOT announced the project without West Station.

2. On Ground Photos, November 20, 2014.

This area is the future home of Harvard’s Medical School and other facilities.

Repeating the photo I started with.


The solid walled building at the far right is a Boston University building which would abut West Station.    It shows on the plan from the South Station filing immediately below and at the middle of the plan.  It shows on the original Mass. Pike filing immediately abutting and to the right of the triangle.  The right side of the original plan is the bottom of the South Station plan.

Here are photos from the Cambridge Street end of the area.  The first photo looks under the soon to be demolished Mass. Pike through the access tunnel from Cambridge Street.  The opposite side is that portion of Cambridge Street where the bridge over the Mass. Pike starts, coming from Cambridge.




The following photos are panning to the right from pretty much the same spot.




And photos from the middle of the area, aimed toward Cambridge Street.  The second shows the current bridge where Cambridge Street is approaching the Charles River and Soldiers Field Road.

Charles River, Cambridge, MA, USA, City Parkland Loggers yell at plastic bag users.

Charles River, Cambridge, MA, USA,  City Parkland Loggers yell at plastic bag users.

1. Introduction.
2. Councilor Simmons amendment.
3. Analysis.
4. Subsidiary Introduction.
5. Charles River, Chapter 286 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2014.
6 Pending destruction on the Cambridge Common.
7. Outrages at Alewife.
8. Other outrages on the Charles River.
9. Summary.


1. Introduction.

Order number 11 on the December 15, 2014 Cambridge City Council agenda, as passed, reads as follows:

That the City Manager is requested to instruct the City Solicitor to prepare a list of the amendments for the proposed amendment to the revised ordinance entitled "Checkout Bag Ordinance" for the Ordinance Committee hearing scheduled to discuss this matter; said amendment to include the attached amendment submitted by Councillor Simmons.
Councillor Carlone. POR 2014 #398

2. Councilor Simmons amendment.

Councilor Simmons Amendment reads:

 ********

"Retail Establishment" means any commercial enterprise, defined as the following, whether for or not-for profit, including, but not limited to restaurants, pharmacies, convenience and grocery stores, liquor stores, seasonal and temporary businesses, jewelry stored, and household goods stores, however this does not include bazaars operated by non-profit organizations or religious institutions, and farmers markets."

********

3. Analysis.

Such action from a environmentally responsible city government would be commendable, but the City of Cambridge City Council is environmentally reprehensible.

Under the circumstance, this action is yet another hypocritical smokescreen in which vile City Council lies about itself.

Yelling at the other guy is their substitute for being a responsible city government.

Then their cheerleaders will run around seeking reelection for “environmentalists” who are in reality unrepentant loggers and heartless animal abusers.  The following paragraphs, parallel my analysis with regard to the same outrageous hypocrites yelling at smokers in public parks.

4. Subsidiary Introduction.

Given the truly reprehensible record of planned and accomplished destruction by Cambridge and its friends in Cambridge’s parklands, the latest yelling at the other guy is nothing less than outrageous.

But they will run for reelection based on nonstop lies of environmental sainthood.

And the lies are the true meaning of yelling at the other guy.

5. Charles River, Chapter 286 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2014.

Hundreds of trees are being destroyed between the BU and Longfellow Bridges along with animal habitat, as a result of state house action in Chapter 286 of the Massachusetts Acts of 2014.

The Cambridge City Council is yelling at people using plastic bags.

[ ]


6. Pending destruction on the Cambridge Common.

The Cambridge City Council is destroying the entrance to the Cambridge Common from Harvard Square plus other excellent trees.  The count is their ENF is 22.  But lies of omission are common dealing with Cambridge.

The Cambridge City Council lies of its concern for the Cambridge Common by yelling at people using plastic bags.



7. Outrages at Alewife.

The Cambridge City Manager is bragging of the Cambridge City Council’s destruction of 3.4 acres plus of the Alewife Reservation.  The photo of his bragging is front and center on the Cambridge website.  Paralleling his language, he has improved on those unseemly trees behind 165 CambridgePark Drive by destroying them.



The Cambridge City Council has repeatedly yelled at private developers obeying municipally controlled zoning at Alewife.  They have nonstop declared their love of the values of Alewife which they have destroyed on their property.  They look like, through their cheerleaders, they are stalling things so that meaningful flood protection can only be achieved by total destruction.

But the Cambridge City Council is protecting Parklands by yelling at people using plastic bags and keeping the Cambridge City Council’s own environmental vileness as secret as possible.

8. Other outrages on the Charles River.

I really cannot keep on repeating the same multiple vile stunts of this reprehensible City Government.  Repeating the multiple lies and other corruption involved in the destruction on the Charles, yet again, would simply be too much.

But the Cambridge City Council is expanding on their destructiveness and heartless animal abuse.

And the Cambridge City Council is working to reverse responsible behavior by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation which would minimize or prevent the destructiveness of the Cambridge City Council along the Grand Junction.  The vileness includes plans to further attack the Charles River White Geese whom they have been starving and starving with other outrages, all combined with non stop lies of their agents that no harm will be done to the Charles River White Geese.

And the Cambridge City Council will keep on yelling at the other guy as much as they can get away with.  One of the outrageous cons is yelling  at people using plastic bags.  People using plastic bags are not starving the Charles River White Geese and are not building in their environment.

The con game going on in the background of the South Station and Mass. Pike projects which would put destructive passenger traffic on the Grand Junction, as usual in total secret, is just part of the normal vileness.

And the Cambridge City Council is yelling at people using plastic bags.

Before and after pictures of the starvation wall put in through the usual multiple lies:




And photos of the heartlessly abused and deliberately starved 33 year residents of the Charles River:




9. Summary.

Cambridge and its friends have created a massive system of cheerleading groups which simply lie that reality is exactly the opposite of normal.

A major part of the corrupt situation is the hypocrisy of a reprehensible City Council yelling at the other guy for infractions far less than the normal corrupt destruction of the Cambridge City Council.

Cambridge summarizes its vileness in the propaganda piece they have posted as art in the City Hall Annex.



Outrageous.

Charles River, MA — Meeting on Mass. Pike (I90) Work in Allston, MA, one con exposes itself

Charles River, MA — Meeting on Mass. Pike (I90) Work in Allston, MA, one con exposes itself

Last night, December 10, 2014, I attended a presentation on the Mass. Pike (I90) work in the Honan Library in Allston.  The location is very common for neighborhood presentations.  I was surprised to see the meeting scheduled since MassDOT and the environmental people had a much larger, formal meeting in Brighton High School not that long ago.

It turned out to be a presentation to the Allston Civic Association.

I was determined to keep my mouth shut, until . . .

The MassDOT folks did their usual professional, competent explanation of their plans.

What surprised me was a person who followed the formal presentation.  He had his own slides, including among other things, the position of the Boston Architects group.

His presentation on West Station stood out.

I have posted my environmental analyses to the state environmental people on the pending Mass. Pike and South Station work.

West Station is a commuter rail station which was added to the project with money that suddenly showed up.  It is proposed to be abutting Boston University property on the end of the project away from Cambridge Street.  Here is the original project area map with my suggesting Green Line A spur superimposed.

West Station would go on the upper part of the right side of the orange triangle in the photo, close to the larger rectangular structure.  The green line is the possible Green Line A Spur.



The presenter’s comments stood out because, since last hearing such a pitch, I realized that the rearrangement of South Station in Downtown Boston is severely deficient.

The planners have apparently planned the project so that it will hold expansion of service to South Station by adding tracks to handle projected trains to Fall River and New Bedford.  The planners have, as I understand it from their comments, expanded South Station so that added tracks for the new service will fill South Station to the max, leaving no room for further expansion.

My comments on both of the environmental reviews, South Station and Mass. Pike (I90) called them deficient because the expansion of South Station will prevent receiving added traffic associated with West Station, thus forcing all West Station traffic on the Grand Junction railroad, through the forced residence of the Charles River White Geese and repeatedly blocking traffic on major Cambridge arteries.

Here is the MassDOT map of the Grand Junction in Cambridge showing the conflicts, my thick arrows added.  The Destroyed Nesting Area is next to the river at the bottom left.



Here is Cambridge’s map show their intended attack on the Destroyed Nesting Area of the Charles River White Geese.  The major commuter rail service would be in addition to one to three trips a day servicing yards on either end of the route.

Traffic would go from slow moves with very kind train personnel to multiple trips on as rapid a schedule as can be achieved.  Minor danger would go to very major danger with a lot of killings likely.



Cambridge's J shaped highway toward the bottom would destroy the quiet of the Destroyed Nesting Area in addition to the multiple destruction of vegetation by agents of the DCR.    The highway would devastate the forced home of the Charles River White Geese.

This outrage follows upon a mass pogrom of long time resident animals at the previously untouched Alewife reservation in West Cambridge.  Cambridge explanation is to yell at private developers destroying other parts of the same reservation while Cambridge’s vileness as secret as possible.  Cambridge is also imminent destroy at least 22 excellent trees on the Cambridge Common.

Cambridge would add to their shared outrage on the Charles River by  putting up fencing blocking walks between the Destroyed Nesting Area and the wild area east of it where the Charles River White Geese are forced to do much or their nesting because of all the ground vegetation destruction in their nesting area by agents and friends of the Department of Conservation and Recreation / City of Cambridge.

Another thing which stood out in the after presentation presentation on West Station was the emphasis by the speaker that West Station would give residents meaningful access to Back Bay Station and South Station.

There were two major lies of omission (favorite type of lie) in the package: the blocking of added traffic at South Station, plus the true infrequency of commuter rail compared with what the neighborhood would consider adequate service.

I pointed out the likelihood that the neighborhood would not get South Station / Back Bay service based on the limits of the South Station work.  He was aware of it, and sloughed off the limitations.

MassDOT did not make this wild promise.  The person speaking after them did.

I have heard such nonsense repeatedly during discussions.  I had to drag out of the South Station planners that they are setting up South Station so that it cannot expand.  Thus all traffic from the pushed West Station would go through the eastern part of Cambridge with major environmental nightmares.

One key is that MassDOT has studied the desirability of the Cambridge route.  They found it next to useless except for Kendall Square.  The Allston folks would be interested in South Station and Back Bay Station, and the Green Line A spur would be excellent for Back Bay Station.  Allston, like most folks would not be attracted by the Cambridge route which the Cambridge government and its friends want and have used the usual corrupt tactics in the past trying to get.

My environmental letters are posted at:

Expansion of I90 (Mass. Pike) change thoughts to elaborate on Grand Junction Passenger Traffic, including heartless animal abuse

Following is my third submittal concerning the environmental reviews on the South Station Expansion Project and the I90 Allston Interchange project.

The two projects overlap because of their undisclosed environmental destruction in East Cambridge, using the Grand Junction in eastern Cambridge for passenger service without spelling it out in the documents.

First I wrote the I90 Allston (Mass. Pike) analysis.  Then I wrote the South Station analysis.

My I90 comments on the Grand Junction passenger traffic were brief.  The relevant South Station analysis was detailed.  This amendment to the I90 comments adds the relevant South Station Analysis without substantive change.

Prior posts are as follows:

Following is the amendment bringing the I90 comments up to date with my thinking in the South Station analysis.  It is a direct copy and the copy links the changes.

RE: EEA #15278
I90 Allston Interchange Project
Modification of submittal of November 22, 2014

Madame Secretary / Ms. Johnson:

Introduction.

I submitted comments on November 22, 2014 with regard to EEA #15278.

On December 2, 2014, I submitted comments with regard to the South Station Expansion Project, EEA No. 15028, Draft Environmental Impact Report.

There was considerable overlap between the two submittals.  The latter submittal constituted my greater analysis of the overlap area.  In particular, section 3.c, West Station should be amended by inserting almost all of sections 1, 4 and 5 of my December 2, 2014 concerning my comments on the South Station Expansion Project, EEA #15278.  The only portion of these sections NOT hereby added to my submission on the I90 Allston Interchange Project is the second paragraph of section 1 of the South Station Analysis.

I am submitting this modification to the I90 Allston Interchange Project, EEA #15278, to provide the benefits of my further thinking in this file as well.

Therefor, I hereby modify my November 22, 2014 submission on the I90 Allston Interchange Project by adding the following as a new section 5.

Section 5.  Expansion of analysis of section 3.c, West Station.

a. General [section 1 of South Station analysis, Synopsis, minus the second paragraph].

The plans for South Station Expansion are deficient because they do not allow any room for any expansion beyond South Coast rail.  There seems to be exactly zero room after that.  Alternatives are proposed by me which should be considered.

With the current plans, new commuter train service which should go to South Station will have NO CHOICE but to go over the Grand Junction with major environmental destruction in Cambridge, starting with commuter rail traffic generated by West Station.

Failure to include analysis this totally new passenger route which is forced by the inadequate planning at South Station constitutes segmentation, both for interference with traffic on major Cambridge arteries and for environmental harm and increase of existing heartless animal abuse on the banks of the Charles River.  Cambridge and the Department of Conservation are already practicing heartless animal abuse on the banks of the Charles River targeted at long term, valuable and popular resident animals.

Analysis should include the DCR’s policy in its “Charles River Master Plan” of killing off or driving away all resident animals on the Charles River Basin.

b. It is segmentation if the analysis does not include passenger traffic in East Cambridge.  Highway Conflict. [section 4 of the South Station analysis].

Below is MassDOT’s map of the Grand Junction railroad in Cambridge taken from an MIT submittal.  I have added thick markings of intersection conflict with existing road traffic.

As stated in my I90 Allston analysis, where will West Station trains go?  Why guarantee an environmental nightmare in the eastern part of Cambridge for trains which sensibly should go to South Station?

And the reality is that, given the obvious forcing of use of East Cambridge for future expansion, it looks like failure to include impact of future expansion on East Cambridge would not only be segmentation, but would be dishonest.



There was great hostility to expanding commuter rail to East Cambridge the last time it was proposed.  MassDOT’s analysis indicated that Grand Junction commuter rail use would have no value except for Kendall Square.  There has been no communication of what looks like a certain proposal to put West Station commuter trains on the Grand Junction.  Such lack of communication is dishonest.

Especially since creating underground facilities at South Station are obvious alternatives now, and there is no mention that the South Station expansion project as proposed will prevent future expansion and mandate use of the Grand Junction for West Station and other future expansion.

c. It is segmentation if the analysis does not include passenger traffic in East Cambridge.  Increase of existing heartless animal abuse. [section 5 of the South Station] analysis.

In addition to the highway conflicts, there would be very real environmental conflicts and the ramping up of existing deliberate heartless animal abuse on the Charles River:

The portion of the banks of the Charles River abutting the Grand Junction on both sides of the Grand Junction  is animal habitat.  It includes animals of long term residence on the Charles River.  In spite of a decade of outrageous misbehavior by Cambridge, the DCR and their friends, many resident animals continue to exist.

Of particular importance is the valuable popular gaggle of the Charles River White Geese who have resided on the Charles River for 34 years and have established a strong community readily admired by all familiar with them.  The vibrancy of this free community is an ideal subject for scholastic study.

Their biggest problem of the Charles River White Geese is vile treatment and abuse by Cambridge and the DCR.  The Charles River White Geese are, once again without mentioning it, being heartlessly and deliberately starved by Cambridge and the DCR taking their long term food at the Magazine Beach playing fields from them.

Cambridge’s map of the area is attached.  This is yet another environmental attack on the animal habitat.  Cambridge is considering building in the Destroyed Nesting Area of the Charles River White Geese and placing a fence following the railroad tracks blocking access between the two animal habitat areas.

The area which is animal habitat is bounded by the BU Boathouse on the north and the BU Bridge on the south, and by the hashed line to the left and the Charles River to the right.



This outrage has been achieved through flat out lying.

a. The DCR manager has repeatedly promised “no harm” to the Charles River White Geese while deliberately starving them.

b. Their food at the Magazine Beach playing fields has been taken from them with bizarre introduced bushes walling off the Magazine Beach playing fields from the Charles River.  This outrage has been achieved through multiple lies and lies of omission.:

(1) Never mentioned is the goal in the sanctified Charles River Master Plan to kill of or drive away all resident animals on the Charles River Basin.  This vile goal in itself should be addressed in any environmental analysis.

(2) The key DCR manager has spent ten years or more lying of no intent to harm them.  This flat out lie was included in the Boston Globe article on the start of deliberate starvation by a quotation next to a photo of a massive earth mover next to a tiny confused resident.

(3) The promise at the Magazine beach playing fields was a lawn to the river.  So the DCR and Cambridge simply ignored the promise, and rewrote the supposedly sacrosanct Master Plan to comport to their lies of omission.

(4) The DCR has contempt for bordering vegetation.  They, twice a year, destroyed all bordering vegetation on the Charles River basin, and claim incompetence for the bizarre wall.

(5) As many other projects as is conceivable includes heartless attacks on the residential animals supposedly incidental to the other projects.

(6) The DCR repeatedly and loudly has proclaimed an intent to restrict the banks of the Charles River to river related activities.  The starvation wall makes the Magazine Beach playing fields totally separated from the Charles River.  They might as well be five miles inland.

(7) Multiple other projects are in the works attacking resident animals while keeping the attacks secret.

(8) Fake groups associated with the City of Cambridge function as company unions to achieve Cambridge and the DCR’s destruction by keeping concerned folk busy chasing their tails.  And, in reality, too many supposedly transportation groups / protective groups are similarly influenced.

(9) Cambridge commonly lies about supposed sainthood through loud initiatives which have no relation or minimal relation to their community which, in reality, serve no purpose other than to convince the voters that heartless animal abusers are the opposite.  Excellent examples of this hypocrisy is

(a) The repeated yelling at Circus owners for their abuse of animals while

(b) Keeping Cambridge deliberate starving of the Charles River White Geese and other heartless abuse (Alewife in particular) as secret as they can get away with, and

( c ) Flat out lies that a government which is heavily involved in Charles River destruction and international relations has no business concerning itself with Charles River destruction.

The situation on the Charles River is an outrage.  Sneaking through more destruction through secret aspects to the South Station Expansion and the I90 Allston Interchange project fits a reprehensible pattern.

MassDOT has rejected more obvious attacks on the Charles River by rejecting proposals for highway construction over the Grand Junction bridge.

MassDOT is a responsible agency.  The same cannot be said for Cambridge, the DCR and their friends.  These dishonest entities should not be rewarded with destruction unavoidable after their maneuvering, but very real if you realize what is really involved in the South Station Expansion and I90 Allston Interchange project.

Cambridge, MA, USA — heartless animal abuse, s. 10, leader of fake group not seeking reelection.

1. Introduction.
2. Leader of fake group not seeking reelection to his office.
3. Prior segments of this analysis.

1. Introduction.

This is the latest in a series of reports responding to lies put out in an art exhibit posted by the City of Cambridge in the art gallery in its City Hall Annex.  I did not dignify the main show with my presence.

A brief glance indicates it looks like the latest propaganda lying to the voters that Cambridge and its friends are behaving responsibly on the Charles River, and don’t look at all the destruction they and their friends have accomplished and are working to accomplish.

This series responds to the segment on the Charles River White Geese, a sweetly worded blatant massive passel of lies.

And in it, the fake protective group goes public with the following plaque.



How dare you call these people decent human beings.

2.      Leader of fake group not seeking reelection to his office.

The leader of the fake group which claims to be a neighborhood association is not seeking reelection.

It is always impossible to say with any accuracy why any person in the Cambridge Machine does anything.  It is only possible to guess, educated guess, but guess.

Cambridge / The Cambridge Machine apparently controls all the supposedly protective organizations in Cambridge.  There may be some who are meaningful to some extent or other.  I cannot speak with certainty for all of them.

The entity which claims to be a neighborhood association in Cambridgeport has a terrible record.

This fake group has aggressively fought for all destruction on the Charles River sought by Cambridge and its friends through the standard Company Union con of claiming to be THE CONCERNED organization and then telling folks to do nothing.  Translation: it is anti Charles River to defend the Charles River.

By this fraud, and among other things, the fake group has helped Cambridge and the DCR get $20 million from the State House for destruction of hundreds of trees between the BU and Longfellow Bridges.

Even the most determinedly stupid member / victim will be unable to deny the destruction, and will be very disturbed at “somebody” doing this to them.  The obvious target for contempt will be the head of the fake group.  Looks like an excellent time to get out.

Notwithstanding this, the fake group’s outrage in the City Hall Annex art room clearly goes public in its contempt for the environment and for resident animals.  Please see prior posts in this series listed below for details.

Looks like time for rats to desert the ship.

3. Prior segments of this analysis.

Segment 1. “Lies of Omission,” concentrated on background lies, hiding the basic stench of this vile municipality sweet talked into a false sainthood.  This is posted at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/city-of-cambridge-lies-about-its.html.

Segment 2. “The bad guys told them to do it.”  Translation into English of one of the many outrages in such a short posting.

Not, of course mentioning the vile nature of the entity that the Department of Conservation and Recreation asked for a negative report.

That report then became the only negative report on file delivered in response to a freedom of information demand.  The only paper delivered in addition to this bizarre complaint from this reprehensible entity was the communication of the DCR asking for the outrageous canard.  Details posted at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/city-of-cambridge-lies-about-its_11.html

Segment 3. “The DCR did it.”  This was Cambridge denying responsibility for Cambridge’s rotten behavior,  Standard con game, pass the buck.  The trouble with vile Cambridge blaming outrages solely on the Department of Conservation and Recreation has many major problems.  One very big one is reality.  Cambridge is very vile, and there is a big record.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/city-of-cambridge-lies-about-its_12.html

Segment 4. “DCR did not do it either’.  This segment analyzes Cambridge’s claim that the DCR has some sort of right to claim no duty to protect the animals in the care of the DCR.  It includes the graduation of copycats of the DCR / Cambridge outrages to rape and murder in the same location.  And analyzes the bizarre claim.  It defers until later the reality that Cambridge and the DCR really are responsible for the outrages they claim to be neutral on.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-lies-on-its-heartless.html

Segment 5. “World Animal Organization on its sick rationalization” presented the above photo, the normal position of decent human beings, in striking contrast to the outrages posted in the propaganda being passed of as an art show.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-lies-on-its-heartless_15.html.

Segment 6. Photos: place of rape, murder, environment, and mass tree destruction.  This segment went into the Cambridge City Council hiding their vileness after a copy cat graduated to rape and murder after mass killing of nesting geese, and the Cambridge City Council blessing his vileness with silence, a wink and a nod.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-lies-on-its-heartless_17.html

Segment 7. Cambridge / fake group brag of their vileness.  The following plaque has been added to the propaganda package right next to the lies about the heartless abuse of the Charles River White Geese.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-lies-on-its-heartless_24.html.



Segment 8. s. 8, summary at Magazine Beach..  This is a short form analysis of the outrage at the Magazine Beach playing fields in the face of the increase in the depravity of the fake group / Cambridge. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-on-its-animal-abuse-s.html

Segment 9. s. 9.  The unthinkable has happened.  Our cofounder is part of this outrage.  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2014/11/cambridge-ma-usa-lies-on-its-heartless_28.html

Thanks for the lovely information. 

As I recall, you are very happy with the destruction of hundreds of trees on Memorial Drive. Approved in Ch. 286, of the Massachusetts Acts of 2014, "Historic Parkways" 

How do you associate these two so noble positions? 

Have you decided to be concerned about man's killing of our world when it comes to destruction by Cambridge, the DCR, and you and the other cheerleaders? 

Or are you still fighting for destruction by Cambridge through yelling at everybody else?

No answer was received.  Reality is so inconvenient for these folks.  I passed on the self praise, the question, and my analysis to many Cambridgeport residents.]

3. Analysis.

No answer. 

Looks like this leader of a supposed environmental group which just cannot notice Cambridge and the DCR creating climate change with massive environmental destruction has real problems with environmentalism, as it is defined in the real world.

4. Caveat.

One of the more brilliant examples of the achievements of his fake group was a lecture by the leader of the fake environmental group fighting for destruction of the Alewife reservation.

This was after her friends in the City of Cambridge destroyed 3.4 acres of the irreplaceable Alewife reservation, behind 165 CambridgePark Drive.

This fake environmentalist bragged to this fake group about the destruction.

Here are some photos of mine of the Cambridge owned area after the destruction that this fake protector achieved lying of her love of Alewife.  The trees in the background are identical to the trees which used to occupy this entire area.

I have previously distributed photos distributed by Cambridge bragging of the destruction.  The only “media” outlet I am aware of which printed the puff piece is managed by yet another of the guilty.

These photos were published by me before the puff pieces.

And, as I said, this self proclaimed environmental leader presented the woman who destroyed this area as an environmental leader.
