I. Introduction.
The situation at Magazine Beach on the Charles River after the “public meeting” on Thursday is that proposed tree destruction has gone from 42 overall with 23 on the hill above the playing field to, and, this is a minimal number: 51 overall, 30 on the hill.
This number allows for the outright fraud and for increases in the latest plans. I have not fully evaluated the latest plans to see if there are more secret omissions of added destruction.
Here is a photo of the threatened grove at an appreciative distance. It needs to be viewed from a distance to be appreciated.
Here are photos of the grove of ten trees from the ground.
Here is the lie submitted by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to the Cambridge Conservation Commission. The TEN TREES are shown on the right side, a third of the way from the bottom, as THREE trees.
I am doing the best a private party can do in these counts, dealing with bureaucrats who routinely lie through omission and other forms of very real lies. It is almost certain I will get something wrong. That is forced when you are doing your best to wade through a corrupt package.
The key manager should be placed in the firing process and his application to the Cambridge Conservation Commission withdrawn with an apology by the Department of Conservation and Recreation because the plans KNOWINGLY LIE. They reflect 10 trees on the hill as 3.
For this deliberate falsification of plans alone, the key manager should be suspended and placed in the firing review process, and the DCR should apologize to the Cambridge Conservation Commission and withdraw the application.
Thursday night varied between this outright fraud and the sort of gentlemen’s fraud which is so normal with the City of Cambridge and its accomplices.
A “public meeting” with a time limit saw the key speaker speak VERY SLOWLY and drag things to yell lack of time at the end. And thus conduct a fraudulent “public meeting” which prevented public comment.
I will go into the knowing fraud below. The gentlemen’s fraud was dominated by lying through word games.
Basically, a lot of excellent trees are being destroyed and the DCR claims to have a right to destroy them because they might die in the next 10, or 20, or 30 or 40, or 50 years. They are beyond their prime. How dare you expect the DCR not to destroy them.
Excellence of the trees being destroyed is no excuse according to this fraudulent sales pitch.
A tiny number of nearly problematic trees were given as example and there are trees in bad shape.
The trees that I am aware of that are in worst shape are trees which the DCR and Cambridge planted in the outrage of the 2000s. There are three (out of 50 plus proposed for destruction) which are in terrible shape. These are DCR trees from the 2000s. There are a small number of others which are far along.
Most of the trees this destructive entity wants to destroy are truly excellent trees, using a lie of word games. “Declining” includes trees beyond the mid point of their life even though they are massive, excellent and very much worthy of admiration.
Here is an excellent example of the vileness of this lie.
Here is the grove of ten excellent trees which dominates the view of the Magazine Beach hill from the Magazine Beach playing fields. The DCR wants to destroy them all. It also lies that the ten trees are only three trees, and calls all of them “in decline,” and thus worthy of destruction by them.
I gave closer shots of this excellent grove above.
I am going to proceed with my email communication of the early morning of October 21, 2016, to DCR headquarters by pulling out portions for the purpose of communicating with you. I will follow up with the communication unedited and a link to my last report on this blog, which was reproduced in full in the DCR headquarters communication following what is reproduced here.
II. Key provisions.
A. DCR 0. Supplement / Executive Summary.
It is my strong opinion, as it has been since my initial exposure to him in 2000, that Mr. Corsi should be fired for incompetence.
Please see point 5.c in this main document, below, and section 1.e. in the copy following the main document which copy transmits my comments on the view on Wednesday, October 19, during which the fraud in the filing was admitted with a bizarre claims of reality.
The fraud in the filing with the Cambridge Conservation Commission adds to grounds for firing.
That fraud in the filing with the Cambridge Conservation Commission should cause the Department of Conservation and Recreation to withdraw the currently pending Magazine Beach application to the Cambridge Conservation Commission with apologies to the CCC.
The next meeting of the CCC is next Monday evening. Responsible action should be taken by then. That will give you time for a site visit, preferably today (Cambridge work hours end at 12 noon), and a comparison of the fraudulent plans to reality, followed by suspension of Corsi, followed by termination after proper due process.
This email is being copied to the Cambridge Conservation Commission because of the fraud in the filing and because one or more Commission members and / or staff were present during the admission, with bizarre explanation, of the fraud.
B. DCR 5. Documentation of MDC / DCR unfitness, including unfitness of supposed “protectors” of the neighborhood.
A review of my video on the hundreds of trees already destroyed, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o will show you the lack of fitness of your MDC bequeathed employees.
A review of my posts with photographs, at the following URLs will show you the horror which your unfit employees are implementing:
C. DCR 5.C. c. 10/17/16, Charles River: Another magnificent grove threatened by DCR and its Accomplices. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-first-magazine-beach.html.
Note: this was written before the view. At that time, I did not realize that the MDC / DCR plans submitted to the Conservation Commission were FALSIFIED, at minimum lying that TEN TREES were THREE. So I referred to three where there really are ten.
I am still in the process of evaluation. Clearly the situation is, not surprisingly, very terrible.

D. Blog Report, 1.e. Bizarre SECRET definition of “trees”
On October 17, working from the plans I had on hand and the 200 or so photos I have taken, I reported an excellent trio of trees being destroyed in a location which is a the edge of the top of the hill / bath house area. That trio of trees form an excellent backdrop for the playing fields.
That was reported at: http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-another-magnificent-grove.html.
When I got the tour guide to that point, I pointed out that there are a lot more than three trees in that location. There clearly are ten free standing trees there not three.
Another secret, dirty definition.
What happens is that the trees, to my view, have been planted close together so that they can be grown together, but they have not been grown together yet and the DCR intends to destroy them before they get a chance to grow together.
There are a number of excellent examples of this type of single large tree creation from multiple trees in the Newport mansion area.
These ten independent trees are shown on the DCR’s maps as three trees. The latest map shows the three “trees” in decline. So they call them three trees because they could be grown into and merged into three trees. But they also call them in “decline”.
But it is ten trees the DCR is calling in “decline.” And they want to destroy about two thirds of them before they can merge.
So the ten separate trees will not be allowed to merge but nevertheless, the ten separate trees are called “three?”
And it would be silly to consider the merged tree as mature until the ten trees are merged into the merged tree. So the three merged trees cannot possibly be in decline before merger occurs. But the DCR lies that ten trees are three trees there and that the three trees are in decline.
Flat out lying.

It is my strong opinion, as it has been since my initial exposure to him in 2000, that Mr. Corsi should be fired for incompetence.

This email is being copied to the Cambridge Conservation Commission because of the fraud in the filing and because one or more Commission members and / or staff were present during the admission, with bizarre explanation, of the fraud.
1. Fake Public Hearing
Your hearing of October 20, 2016 was a fraud conducted on short and nearly nonexistent notice, in the manner regularly conducted by your graduates from the Metropolitan District Commission.
The speaker stretched out his presentation SLOWLY so as to fill all the time allotted and prevent meaningful input, a follow up on maneuvering the legislature to go forward on the destruction of hundreds of trees earlier this year by making “valid” approvals which expired years ago.
Your fraudulent performances have been so bad that NOW EXPIRED hearings on destruction of those hundreds of trees which you accomplished in January and February were conducted in the bowels of MIT to prevent public comment. This was one more of the same fraud.
Enclosed is my public fact sheet which I submitted to the chair and incorporated by reference recognizing that public comment had been carefully prevented by stretching out and stretching out VERY SLOWLY the presentation.
To summarize the below, the DCR through its destructive MDC incompetents is unfit for management of the Charles River and should be replaced by MassDOT which has been the adult in the room on key matters with the DCR/MDC and the City of Cambridge. Replacement should specifically prohibit transfer of DCR/MDC planners and managers.
The City of Cambridge MAY be cleaning up their problems by the City Council’s selection of a new City Manager who is not a direct part of the outrage of the last 42 years. Hopefully the DCR or the legislature will end the outrages for which the DCR/MDC is responsible without further outrages.
2. This outrage is part of the Reason the Legislature destroyed the MDC.
One reason why the legislature destroyed the Metropolitan District Commission was that it was so destructive.
And what has been done to Memorial Drive and is being done to Memorial Drive WITH MDC PLANS is exactly why the legislature destroyed the Metropolitan District Commission.
So a bunch of bureaucrats who were unfit for their jobs with the MDC were transferred to the DCR with irresponsible plans and fake definition of terms and lying through omission.
You are destroying a bunch of excellent trees using code words with secret meanings and they do not even fit the secret meanings.
The unfair definitions are so bad that, in one key location, YOUR UNFIT EMPLOYEES DEFINED ten trees as three.
3. Quality of vegetation being destroyed.
Most trees being destroyed are excellent. Excellent trees are being destroyed because they, while excellent, have passed the 50% point on their lifespan but, much more importantly, because the contractors need money, and a brief look at the 50 trees and climbing being destroyed, not just the tiny minority they brag of destroying, with show you that you have unfit employees.
4. Contempt for the Charles / Deliberate Starvation of Resident Animals / Tourist Attractions. DELIBERATE, HEARTLESS ANIMAL ABUSE.
Your unfit employees claim to love the Charles River, and one of the almost total unnegotiable points is blocking off the Charles River. With a wall of bushes preventing access to the animals who have lived and fed on these grasses for most of the last 35 years because the MDC, now DCR has a policy of killing off or driving away all resident animals.
That wall of bushes installed through the usual lies of omission has cause human beings to avoid the Charles area which should be the big attraction.
And the beautiful, TOURIST ATTRACTION Charles River White Geese are deliberately starved by a long, bizarre wall preventing access TO WHERE THEY LIVED AND FED FOR MOST OF THE LAST 35 YEARS. The MDC, now DCR’s policy is heartless animal abuse. So that is what you are doing.
This bizarre wall is being partially “lowered” while keeping it high enough to implement the deliberate starvation and to destroy Magazine Beach as a water related resource.
This bizarre wall was created through flat out lying in the supposedly sacred Charles River Master Plan. Plans for the playing fields described as a “Lawn to the River,” words which were changed after the lies paved the way.
The bizarre wall is another ADMITTED failure.
The treatment of the Charles River White Geese at their Destroyed Nesting Area to which they have been confined without food has included actions so bad that the Cambridge Conservation Commission stepped in. And your incompetent manager ordered the destroying parties to cease their outrage WITHIN THE TINY JURISDICTION OF THE CCC, WHILE SPECIFICALLY ALLOWING CONTINUED OUTRAGES outside that small area.
5. Documentation of MDC / DCR unfitness, including unfitness of supposed “protectors” of the neighborhood.
A review of my video on the hundreds of trees already destroyed, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o will show you the lack of fitness of your MDC bequeathed employees.
A review of my posts with photographs, at the following URLs will show you the horror which your unfit employees are implementing:
a. 10/18/16, Swimming Pool Destruction, at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-destruction-threatened.html, goes into the outrage around the Swimming Pool.
b. 10/16/16, Charles River: Another magnificent grove threatened by DCR and its Accomplices. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-another-magnificent-grove.html. Excellent grove being destroyed which is on the hill, but towers over the playing fields.
c. 10/17/16, Charles River: Another magnificent grove threatened by DCR and its Accomplices. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-first-magazine-beach.html.
Note: this was written before the view. At that time, I did not realize that the MDC / DCR plans submitted to the Conservation Commission were FALSIFIED, at minimum lying that TEN TREES were THREE. So I referred to three where there really are ten.
I am still in the process of evaluation. Clearly the situation is, not surprisingly, very terrible.
d 10/12/16, Charles River, First Magazine Beach Photos, Hill / Swimming Pool DESTRUCTION. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-first-magazine-beach.html. Provides photos of doomed trees on the hill west of the playing fields.
e. 10/6/16, Charles River, Magazine Beach Destruction Plans, Plea to Cambridge. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-magazine-beach.html. Includes extensive analysis of a corrupt governmental situation.
The Cambridge City Council is taking action hopefully, to end the City Manager Machine outrage which has been in place since 1974. The City Manager select to which this letter is addressed is the first new manager since 1974 who is not the top management assistant to his predecessor. As of this writing, he is still being worked into his new office.
And that City Manager machine is the one around which has been created the fake “protective” groups such as that Ms. Suzi represents. Her group brags that it has A DUTY TO CENSOR ALL comments on its Listserv negative to the City Manager / his friends.
The fake group fits into a Machine starting with the first of the, hopefully outgoing, City Manager Machine city managers. James Leo Sullivan had been fired in the 60s. When he was rehired in 1974, he promised to create a system of “neighborhood associations” which in turn, have people who go to the city government to find out what they think. I am aware key group member bragging of “expertise,” but in the fine print bragging of going to the City Manager Machine to find out what they think.
The basis for Ms. Suzi’s supposed representation of the neighborhood is a fraudulent machination on April 23, 2013. They tried to get support for the current outrage in their January 2013 MONTHLY meeting, and could not because of very real displeasure in the meeting, so they told a displeased public meeting to come back at their next monthly meeting. They then conducted their next monthly meeting more three months later to drive away responsible people.
A horribly complicated motion was discussed in the last ten minutes of the meeting and kept secret until them. They had driven away responsible people, but they took no chances on any semblance of responsibility.
Since then, they have functioned as an efficient company union, conducting their monthly meetings on a suddenly bimonthly basis. They openly prevent discussion of environmental outrages until the last ten minutes, timing which is EXACTLY WHAT YOUR INCOMPETENT MANAGERS DID on October 20.
f. 10/3/16, Charles River: Cambridge Cheerleaders fight to Destroy 42 MORE Trees, at Magazine Beach. http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/10/charles-river-cambridge-cheerleaders.html.
This series of reports is not complete. To continue watching YOUR outrages, simply subscribe to the reports at charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com.
The lies of omission are getting more clear, as shown here and in the attached factsheet. The lies of fake definitions, like the TEN TREES which show up as THREE TREES on the plan are also becoming more clear.
6. Example of the lack of fitness of the MDC/DCR’s designated “protector.”
You have an unfit bunch of employees feeding into a terrible situation in the City of Cambridge with a destructive city government in power as a directly related series of City Managers since 1974. Around this destructive City Manager Machine has been created a destructive collection of “protective groups” which simply obey orders.
An excellent example of lack of fitness of the City of Cambridge machine into which your unfit employees are feeding occurred when Dr. Robin Pope, a visiting professor and international expert and scholar attempted to communicate to Kathy Suzi after the fake public meeting. Kathy Suzi is your MDC incompetents designated “defender” of the world. Pope’s impassioned and well spoken EXPERT plea was replied to by Suzi with directions to talk to your unfit manager on the grounds that he is the guy who does the thinking.
Dr. Pope is doing extended research here as part of her duties with the University of Graz in Austria. She lives in the Hyatt Regency Cambridge.
Suzi, in turn, is the third head the fake “protective” organization has had in a year. The “leaders” are running away from the terrible things you AND THEY are doing, washing their hands of responsibility which they really share.
7. Contractors love you.
But the contractors love it. Among so many other blatant wastes of money, they are paid to destroy excellent trees and they are paid to install saplings to replace trees which should not be destroyed.
8. Environmental destruction which would be major except for the very much more major outrages from your MDC graduates.
We have an annual algae blight on the Charles River which stems from your MDC people’s love for the use of poisons on the banks of the Charles River. One year, their beloved poisons did not work as well as they would like at Ebersol Field near Massachusetts General Hospital, so they dumped poisons on the riverbank marked “DO NOT USE NEAR WATER.” THE NEXT DAY the Charles River was dead from Boston Harbor to the Mass. Ave. Bridge.
And, as predicted then, the infestation created by your incompetent MDC graduates comes back every year.
Responsible grass management during the 20th Century was replaced, with lies of omission, at the Magazine Beach Playing Fields with poison maintenance. The poisons, like the bizarre wall were kept secret during planning and simply done.
The poisons have been a failure. So USE OF POISONS IS BEING EXPANDED to the balance of the area, the top of the hill and the swimming pool area.
To allow for the addition of poisons at the playing fields, the MDC spent money creating a drainage system to drain off poisons which should not be used in the first place.
Your latest destruction includes another expensive drainage system to drain off the added use of poisons.
But the contractors love it. They are paid to create drainage for poisons which were not needed in the 20th Century and which should not be used now, but they are very happy, and the contractor lobby loves to show up for meetings praising an incompetent management team.
