1. Introduction.

Recently, I attended a Cambridge Conservation Commission hearing on a child’s spray deck which is proposed to be conducted within the swimming pool complex at Magazine Beach with drainage over the land between the swimming pool complex and the Charles River.


2. General Magazine Beach Aerial Photos, Plans

First of all, here are three plans / areal photos showing Magazine Beach.

The first photo is taken from the MassDOT plans for the I90 (Mass. Pike) work across the Charles.

The second, a plan, is taken from current destruction plans.

The third (the upper of two photos), very telling, is a 2001 aerial photo.

Look at all those trees, 15 years ago and more recently.  And 30 are slated to be destroyed in the thickest accumulation as part of 54 tree total destruction and growing.


3. Formal Destruction Plans, general analysis.

Here are the demolition plans for the spray deck.  The long structure is the pool support building.  The spray deck is proposed east of the swimming pool between it and the fence fencing off the park where the DCR, Cambridge and the Cheerleaders are fighting to destroy 30 of the 54 trees they want to destroy on Magazine Beach.

Most plans show Memorial Drive at the top and the Charles River at the bottom.  This plan has them right / left, respectively.  The support building to the pool is to the right.  The swimming pool and the new construction is at the left.  Intentional confusion?

Here are the tree destruction plans from the Magazine Beach destruction project.  First is the destruction of 30 trees in that CURRENTLY heavily wooded park east of the swimming pool, below it in the above plan.

There is blatant fraud in that 10 trees in the eastern (right) end are called three.  Looking at the destruction plans, these are the group of “three” trees on the right, about a third of the way above the bottom of the photo.  DETAILED PHOTOS OF REALITY ARE BELOW.

The swimming pool is to the left (west) of the dense and soon to be destroyed park shown in the above plan

The swimming pool and support building are the area surrounded by broken lines.  The support building is the narrower upper part.  The spray deck is going into the right side of the wider lower area.  All trees immediately to the right of this area are slated to be destroyed even though the state agency admits they are healthy.

Compare the plans.  Notice the four trees slated to be destroyed which are simply shown as there AND DARKENED in the spray deck plans, except for the doomed little guys parking area which, according to the spray deck plans, has no trees.

In particular,

• ALL FOUR trees lining the spray deck in the doomed thick park are doomed.  Those trees are DARKENED in the swimming pool plans to emphasize them.  Those doomed, HEALTHY trees show very clearly on the spray deck plans, plus 

• the 30 in the park, and plus 

• another four in front of the swimming pool building and 

• another SEVEN trees west of the building.  A subsequent plan added the "undestroyed" ADMITTEDLY HEALTHY tree just west of the group of four ADMITTEDLY HEALTHY trees slated to be destroyed.

• additionally, subsequent plans would destroy two more trees across Memorial Drive and not even in the Magazine Beach recreation area.

A propaganda map which spells out (continuing the 10/3 fraud) trees being destroyed and severely understates destruction impact calls all the directly abutting trees HEALTHY, but being destroyed.

Interesting that a separate project IN THE SAME OVERALL CONTROL “neglects” to mention so much destruction.  But that kind of interesting coincidence is normal when you are dealing with this state agency and the City of Cambridge under its three manager City Manager Machine..

Here are tree photos in the area.  I am picking out trees to the best of my ability.  I apologize in advance for any errors.  You have the plans above.


4. 10 tree section of eastern end of dense park being destroyed fraudulently called 3.

I will start with the ten trees called three trees being destroyed.  They are toward the right bottom of the park destruction map.

5. Next to swimming pool, east and facing Memorial Drive.

Now here are the four trees so prominently shown as alive in the spray deck destruction plans.

The fence of the pool is to the left.

These trees except for the gold tree are also slated to be destroyed.  The swimming pool support building is to the left and the fence can be seen between the building and the camera.

Here is a different view of the last two areas.

Not a very good picture.  Three of the four trees between the two gold trees are slated to be destroyed.  The support building is behind the trees.

6. Trees west of swimming pool.

Proceeding westward.  I think this is the grouping of five trees including the street tree slated to be destroyed west of the support building.  The tall tree to the right in the group of tall trees does not appear on the destruction plan above, but has been added in later plans.  To the very farthest right, above the horizontal lines (probably boats) are trees outside the destruction area.  

Here is a photo of the group of five from the river side, looking through the pool area.  One, maybe two, of these massive trees, as near as I can gather from the plans and change, is NOT being destroyed.  I am not so certain about the lower trees.  Please feel free to compare to the plans, remembering the addition of the tree to the west of the marked four.

And here is a view from the west.  I would say that the large tree to the very left is being destroyed and the tree to its right and behind it are being destroyed as part of this grouping.  The tree to the right is also being destroyed, but is not part of that grouping.

  

7. The bulk of the dense park, planned tree destruction.

Returning to the densely populated park to the east of the swimming pool, it is very difficult to pick out individually doomed trees.  The plantings are so thick and the destruction so massive.

To simplify things, here is another copy of the destruction plans for the dense park area.

To the left, you can see the swimming pool support building.  To the right is the little guys parking lot which is being destroyed.  The plans call for the destruction of four trees between the camera and the parking lot.  The plans call for the destruction of EVERY TREE, INCLUDING THE STREET TREE, BUT EXCEPT TWO within the curve of the parking lot.  You have the destruction plan, you pick them out, please.

Here is the view from across Memorial Drive.  The street tree to the left is doomed.  Among the near trees, the big tree to the right, probably, and one other tree are not doomed.  Once again, the plans are above.

And here is a view from within the little guys' doomed parking lot.  Note that there are three major trees in this direction outside the parking lot, including one more magnificent street tree, doomed.

This is probably the other doomed street tree.  The two other major trees are probably in this picture behind it, but cannot be picked out because of the magnificence of this excellent tree.

9. Summary.

30 trees are being destroyed in this excellent park.  54 trees are being destroyed in total in the Magazine Beach recreation area.

My video of the hundreds of trees already destroyed to the east of this site may be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o.

It is my very strong opinion that the government agency "responsible" for this area is unfit to manage the environment, the Department of Conservation and Recreation.  It is my very strong opinion that it should be replaced with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

The destruction was coordinated with Cambridge's ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFIT Development Department under the tutelage of the three member and very destructive Cambridge City Manager Machine.  There is a new City Manager in town.  His hands may be clean.  It is too early to say, but very clearly, this destruction fits in the terrible record of his three predecessors.  Heads deserve to roll in the Cambridge Development Department.

The Cambridge City Council has the capability BY AGREEMENT WITH THE DCR to take over management of Magazine Beach, or at least the playing fields.  The Cambridge City Council has the capability, through its State House delegation, to get rid of the DCR, implementing the destruction of the Metropolitan District Commission which put MDC "planners" in the DCR.  Those "planners" brought these terrible plans from the MDC and are implementing them.

These terrible things need not come about.

Charles River Outrage - Photos of Some of Cambridge, MA, USA’s Abused Wild Turkeys

Charles River Outrage - Photos of Some of Cambridge, MA, USA’s Abused Wild Turkeys

1. Introduction.
2. Phil Barber Reports.
3. Analysis.


1. Introduction.

A few weeks ago, I reported on wild turkeys running around Cambridge, MA, USA, one of the most densely populated cities in the USA.  Their home has been destroyed by Cambridge and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

2. Phil Barber Reports.

Hi Bob, hope this finds you well. I encountered the Cport turkey flock the other day at last. Six of them, relaxing on Franklin st. Here's some pix. They're low resolution so they won't clog your mail, have higher res versions if you can use them for anything.

3. Analysis.

The photos look excellent to me.  Not the meaning behind the content, but the photos.  Thanks, Phil.

Franklin Street, where the photos were taken, is the second street south of Massachusetts Avenue.  Massachusetts Avenue, in turn, is the main street in Cambridge, MA, USA.

One of the goals of the Charles River Master Plan (which plan was ignored when it could be treated as a convenient lie) is to drive away or kill as many resident animals as they can get away with.

Then again Cambridge’s machine does do a non stop job of lying about the environmental sainthood of Cambridge, MA, USA, and its friends.

For my video on the latest real “achievement by Cambridge and its friends,” please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o.

This area is where these heartlessly abused animals used to live.  Phil’s photos are just more pieces of evidence of the non stop lying about environmental sainthood coming out of the Cambridge Machine.

The Cambridge Machine tactics are a sample of the “Big Lie” Technique.  As I recall, the technique was popular in some very destructive countries about two thirds of a century or so ago.

Charles River, and Charles River White Geese, Brief Update.

Charles River, and Charles River White Geese, Brief Update.

I have pretty much been forced to look at the situation on the Blog, and I do not like my extended absence.

I have been suffering from, hospitalized for and am recovering from pneumonia.  That has put me in a position where I have not been able to do any reporting.  To make it worse, I really should not be making this post.

I have produced a number of posts in recent months going into the rot which is politics in Cambridge, MA.  Over the years, I have preferred to concentrate on the really terrible governments in the City of Cambridge and in the regional government which attacks the Charles River, but the situation degenerated to such an extent that I just could not ignore the corrupt political situation in Cambridge by which these terrible things are accomplished.

Most recently, I have gone into the attacks on commuting access to Cambridge over the Charles River as they have evolved in the State planning for the rearrangement of I90 (Mass. Pike) on the Boston side of the Charles River.

It is my understanding, insofar as my physical condition has allowed my understanding of what is going on, that the machine which dominates Cambridge politics is ramping its attacks up with apparent intent to do real harm, as usual, claiming the opposite.

The Machine has suddenly gotten interested in and “opposed to” the closing of access to Cambridge by that off ramp from Soldiers Field Road to the River Street Bridge, the next bridge west of the BU Bridge.

When the Machine suddenly makes responsible noises, look out.  It has a dramatic record of achieving the opposite of what it claims to stand for.  It sounds great and ropes well meaning people into stabbing themselves in the back.

So, suddenly, I see people, responsible and otherwise, opposing the killing of that off ramp.

The fine print is the same destructiveness by which these terrible people who destroyed hundreds of trees on Memorial Drive and are fighting to expand the outrage to the area which extends from the unspoiled wood between the BU Boathouse and the Grand Junction railroad, on the east (core goose habitat) and on the west the (no surprise) the River Street Bridge.

The spiel appears to sound oh so saintly, as usual.  The reality is fine print which fights to destroy the Boston bank of the Charles River in the area, combined with making things even worse on the Cambridge side.

This is Standard pitch.  This is how a fraud has done so much environmental harm to the City of Cambridge over the past 42 years.  They always mean so well, and they have been distressingly consistent at achieving the opposite of what they claim to stand for.

Charles River:   35 year resident Charles River White Geese under attack, doing their best.


1. Introduction.
2. Photos of the Charles River White Geese.
3. Photos of heartless animal abuse.


1. Introduction.

I have a number of photos from a few days ago.

The photos provide excellent documentation of the total lack of fitness of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to manage the environment.

I realize that Cambridge, MA, USA has a new City Manager for whom I have high hopes, but I can only refer to Cambridge by its record, and not by my high hopes for the new City Manager.  Cambridge is very clearly part of the rot on the Charles River.

Cambridge and the DCR are excellent demonstrations of man destroying our world.

This presentation will be in two parts.

Today’s report is on heartless animal abuse.  The next report will be on outrageous destruction of trees.  Both are excellent examples of the lack of fitness of Cambridge and the DCR for management of the environment, and clearly place them on the wrong side of man’s destruction of our world.

The last Cambridge City Manager publicly bragged about all the “improvements” Cambridge was bringing to the Charles River.  His Development Department is clearly hand in glove with the DCR.  Their use of a fake “protective’ group” to smooth the way to destruction just makes the entire situation that much more vile.  Their ongoing work to expand the destruction just makes the entire thing that much worse.

In spite of Cambridge’s non stop pious prattle to the contrary, directly and through their influenced fake groups, it is silly to interpret the prattle as anything other than fraud on the voters.

Their environmental prattle is comparable to Cambridge’s loud proclamations about support for women’s rights a demonstrated by

● Three levels of court condemned City Manager Robert Healy (the longest serving of the 3 member Cambridge City Manager Machine) for destroying the life of department head Malvina Monteiro because she worked for Women’s Rights in the Cambridge City Government.

         Those very strong judicial condemnations  give the Cambridge City Council full power to fire Robert Healy for Malfeasance In Office with NO MEANINGFUL LEGAL CASE BY ROBERT HEALY.  The condemnations in Monteiro legally decided that he was unfit for office.

Key words, from the Trial Judge are “reprehensible” with regard to Healy’s behavior.  Key words from the Appeals Court panel are “ample evidence of . . . outrageous misbehavior.”  The Appeals Court panel’s words came in an opinion which the panel REFUSED TO CALL AN OPINION as part of their very clear contempt for the City of Cambridge’s even bringing this matter before them on appeal.  Opinions are presented in full at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/judge-issues-decision-denying.html, and at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/appeals-court-decision-in-monteiro.html, respectively.

The jury put their contempt in money: more than 1 million in real damages PLUS $3.5 million in PENAL damages to communicate the sick situation in Cambridge as clearly as possible.

● The Cambridge City Council clearly showed their opinion by naming their police station after Robert Healy, in spite of the Monteiro outrage, and allowing him to retire with honor and praise.  This shows exactly which side the Cambridge City Council is REALLY on with regard to nonstop pious words.

Five of the nine current Cambridge City Councilors served during Monteiro decisions.

2. Photos of the Charles River White Geese.

Here is a photo of a flotilla of the Charles River White Geese off hunting for food, with the Grand Junction Railroad Bridge over their heads

Here is a photo of a separate flotilla of the Charles River White Geese in the bay off the Wild Area, separated from the Destroyed Nesting Area by the Grand Junction Railroad.  The photo is taken through the Wild Area, off the Grand Unction.

The Charles River White Geese spend the worst days of the winter in this bay.  So far it is well protected from the elements.  But the plans show ONE tree left in the thick woods which make up the Wild Area.  Devastating the adjacent land of more than a hundred trees will clearly make the bay much less hospital.

Here are photos of remaining Charles River White Geese eeking out survival in their Destroyed Nesting Area which has been ravaged of ground vegetation by DCR orders with clear connivance by Cambridge and with plans by Cambridge to make it worse.

3. Photos of heartless animal abuse.

Above is have photographed two separate groups of the Charles River White Geese.  One is a flotilla looking for food which the DCR and Cambridge deny to them and thus are deliberately starving them.  That is the photo with the Grand Junction Railroad Bridge overhead.

I will start off an old photo, the starvation wall of introduced bushes which keep the Charles River White Geese from their food of most of the last 35 years, the grasses at the Magazine Beach playing fields, with poisons introduced by Cambridge and the DCR.

Current plans are to make the wall worse with puffery.

The wall was installed based on the DCR’s promise of a “Lawn to the River.”  It is now non negotiable and exactly the opposite of a “lawn to the river”, although the DCR and its friends, including CAMBRIDGE are working to make things worse.  Flat out lying is irrelevant to the lack of ethics so obvious in these outrageous government entities.

Poisons were introduced and will, by rather clear plan, be expanded, probably nearly two miles to the east of the Destroyed Nesting Area to the Longfellow Bridge, and next to the area west of the Playing Fields, where 52 mostly excellent trees are slated to be destroyed, poisoning expansion extending toward the River Street Bridge.

Here is a video of the Charles River White Geese feeding across from the Hyatt Regency Hotel, maybe a quarter of a mile east of the Charles River White Geese’ ghetto to which they are confined without food and with constant ramping up on the attacks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-xSIYrB5o.

I reported at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/12/charles-river-herds-of-wild-turkeys.html, of herds of wild turkeys roaming the streets of Cambridge, MA, USA looking for food.  One of the most densely populated cities in the United States of America and WILD TURKEYS are roaming its streets looking for food.

The wild turkeys are among the many LESS VISIBLE wild animals being heartlessly abused by Cambridge, the DCR and their cheerleaders.

Here is a placard included in a puff piece in the Cambridge City Hall Annex in which Cambridge also bragged about its outrages on the Charles River.  The nominal entity "responsible" was one of the too common fake "protective" groups.  This particular fake group brags that it censors any and all negative comment about the City of Cambridge on its Listserv.

It should be noted that Cambridge’s bragging normally has been notable for lies of omission.  They brag about what the voters will consider acceptable in their plans.  They keep secret the vile parts of their plans.  And this particular part of their plans being bragged about in that puffery WITH ONLY THE “GOOD STUFF” PUBLICIZED would have been defeated in a public meeting without corrupt tactics by the Cheerleaders putting on the puffery show.

This placard went very far in their bragging about their heartless animal abuse on the Charles River being part of humanity’s attacks on our world in this placard.

Here is the waterfront across from the Hyatt Regency Hotel now.  The animal habitat was so strong in this area that the DCR had up a sign warning drivers on Memorial Drive of “Goose Crossing.”

The stones at the river line have been added.  Those stones make it impossible for the Charles River White Geese to access the riverfront.  As for the turkeys and other less visible victims?  What do you think?  Especially in line with the starvation wall which was created by fraud and kept as “non negotiable.”

Once again, the video taken in 2009 of the Charles River White Geese feeding in this location is posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2-xSIYrB5o.

Like a very large number of works of art and posts on the Internet cherishing the Charles River White Geese, the creator of this video is personally unknown to Friends of the White Geese.

The destroyers of our world who are doing their part of the world's destruction by destroying the Charles River are very clearly known:  The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, the City of Cambridge, and a very sick political situation used by the City of Cambridge to fool its legions of concerned voters into thinking that they have a responsible city government.

4.  Summary.

This report is only part of a very large accumulation of proof of the unfitness of these entities to manage the environment.

Our video on the destruction before and after may be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o.

Brief synopses of these reports may be seen on facebook, the page dedicated to the Charles River White Geese.  Clearly a lot of pols need to be contacted.  Links to the much greater detail on this blog are included with each synopsis.

Like all those beautiful reports on the Charles River White Geese throughout the Internet, this page was created by a person whom has never been personally met by activists in the Friends of the White Geese organization.  He made it and gave it to us.  We cherish it.

One posting summarizing possible contacts is at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-can-we-do-to-help-on-charles-river.html.

At the same time, please feel free to friend the Charles River White Geese on Facebook.

Your support, and the rather striking number of hits we are receiving is helpful and encouraging.

Charles River: Herds of Wild Turkeys Walk the Streets of Cambridge, MA, USA

Charles River:   Herds of Wild Turkeys Walk the Streets of Cambridge, MA, USA


1. Turkey Sightings.
2. The problem.
A. BU Bridge to Longfellow Bridge.
B. BU Bridge to the River Street Bridge.
3. How to correct.


1. Turkey Sightings.

The Listserv censored by the fake group which has helped achieve so much destruction on the Charles River and is fighting for more destruction has reported an obvious result of their outrages, and, naturally, censored all comments concerning the reason for the result.

People on the Listserv in this, one of the most densely populated cities in the United States of America, have reported being faced with never before seen herds of wild turkeys on streets and sidewalks.  The folks reporting wondered how to respond to them.

The first and most important response is to end the plans to make things worse for resident animals.

The vile Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation which is the major actor in the destruction has a policy of killing off or driving away ALL RESIDENT ANIMALS on the Charles River, insofar as it is politically possible.

Secondly, replacement of a terrible governmental situation MIGHT bring responsible people into control.

The problem is totally governmental, with terrible governmental behavior having its way smoothed by Totalitarian tactics from the government of the City of Cambridge.

2. The problem.

A. BU Bridge to Longfellow Bridge.

The state DCR, the City of Cambridge and fake groups influenced by Cambridge, which claim to be “defending” the neighborhood, have destroyed hundreds of trees between the BU Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge  both crossing the Charles River, and destroyed massive amounts of ground in which those trees stood.  These same people are now fighting to destroy another 52 trees.  Most trees involved are / were excellent.

My video on destruction achieved this year is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o.  The video contains something like 130 component parts, including destruction plans and before and after pictures of excellent trees being ruthlessly destroyed.

The video shows a thick woods which has not yet been destroyed but which is on the plans for destruction, with the usual easily debunked lies.  The video shows other trees which have yet to be destroyed and are endangered.

Here is the area destroyed THIS YEAR.  The BU Bridge is barely visible on the left.  Two bridges to its right is the Longfellow Bridge.  Above the river is Memorial Drive.  The former location of hundreds of mostly excellent trees which were destroyed is on the median of Memorial Drive and between Memorial Drive and the Charles River.

Here is my analysis of Cambridge’s 42 year existing fake group system:  http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/12/charles-river-why-is-destruction-of.html.

Habitat being destroyed includes the majority of land between the BU and Longfellow Bridges.  Habitat threatened includes that thick woods and the Destroyed Nesting Area of the Charles River White Geese where these terrible people have inflicted repeated heartless abuse on the Charles River White Geese, in addition to their deliberate starvation with increasing attacks in that field.

The video goes into the massive destruction proposed between the BU and River Street Bridges insofar as it relates to the accomplished destruction:   the continued dumping of poisons on the banks of the Charles River with obvious intent to expand everywhere, and the deliberate starving of the 35 year resident Charles River White Geese with a bizarre introduced wall of bushes at the Magazine Beach playing fields WHERE THE BUREAUCRATS PROMISED A “LAWN TO THE RIVER.”

B. BU Bridge to the River Street Bridge.

Understated plans, including fraudulent omissions, for tree destruction between the BU Bridge and the River Street Bridge are posted at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/09/charles-river-latest-magazine-beach.html.  Later publication admits to even more tree destruction, ON BOTH SIDES OF MEMORIAL DRIVE, the boulevard which follows the Charles River to the north.

Unfortunately, lying through fake definition dominates the latter, more complete plans, so it is a waste of time passing this particular piece of fraud on to you.

Here is the area targeted next.  The first map is the state's plan of the area.  Targeted for destruction is the green area above the Charles River:

Here is the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s satellite photo of the future home of Harvard Medical School and related, currently a former rail yard and I90 (Mass. Pike) with off ramps to Cambridge, the Allston - Brighton neighborhoods of Boston, and environs.

At the top of the photo, above the Charles River, is the area being attacked.  At the left is the River Street Bridge where local access to Cambridge is proposed to be made severely worse.

Allowing for obvious fraud and the increases subsequently admitted to, the added destruction runs to 52 mostly excellent trees, including 30 surrounding a historical building, abandoned for 80 years which is the focal point of the fake group.

The Cambridge influenced fake group, in established Company Union fashion, tells people not to look at the destruction they are fighting for.  They tell people only to look at that one abandoned building.

The impression communicated by the fake group for years has been that it is anti-Charles River to defend the Charles River.  Their pitch has been: you have a duty to only look at that abandoned building.

This mantra is being continued IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOW FIGHTING TO DESTROY THE GROUNDS OF THE ABANDONED BUILDING, those 30 trees, and censor any and all comments to the contrary of their propaganda.

I have, to my distress, reported on the fake group system in place in Cambridge, MA, which is at the core of the problems of the beautiful Charles River.  The link is above.

It is a shame to have to mention the Totalitarian system in Cambridge which is inflicting regional and world destruction like so many other irresponsible governments, but thought control through this established system was dominant in the achieved destruction and is dominant in their plans to make things worse.

3. How to correct.

The legislature tried to protect the Charles River from destructive bureaucrats by destroying the Metropolitan District Commission which controlled the Charles River and dividing the MDC’s responsibilities between the DCR and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.  The MDC “planners” moved to the DCR and are destroying unabated in the name of the DCR using their MDC plans.

The other problem has been a reprehensible city government in the City of Cambridge focused on a three City Manager regency which, for 42 years, has practiced as close to a Totalitarian dictatorship in Cambridge as they can get away with.  That City Manager Machine has been very strongly condemned by three levels of Court when it destroyed a female manager’s life because she had the nerve to fight for Women’s Rights in the management of the City of Cambridge.

The City Council has hired a new City Manager who is not directly in the line of Machine / Regency succession and who has sounded normal, i.e. responsible.

Hopefully, Cambridge and its state delegation will get rid of the terrible DCR in favor of MassDOT.  MassDOT is not perfect and, as I recently reported, can get bullied by Cambridge and the DCR, but they have stood up to Cambridge and the DCR on key outrages.

MassDOT is not perfect but the DCR and Cambridge approach being perfect in the wrong direction.

At the same time, outrages must be ended and reversed.

1. Introduction.

On December 13, 2016, I just posted a report, at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2016/12/further-attacks-on-north-side-of.html.

In the fine print, I tried to tie this report into the mass destruction which has been going on on the Charles River.  However, the connection really deserves more detail.

When I first started these reports, I hinted that the outrage on the Charles River is a spinoff of the sick political situation in Cambridge, MA, I did not go into detail.

Destruction of this ramp goes into that vile distinction.

Here is the key, and tiny detail on the destruction of that off ramp.

In the middle is the Charles River.  Cambridge is to the right.  Boston is to the left.

The dot with the connected line to the right center is where the ramp is proposed to be destroyed.

I emphasized what the Massachusetts Department of Transportation emphasized in my report:   The Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation along with the usual robots controlled by the City of Cambridge supported the destruction.

The reality, however, is that the numbers of folks fighting for that destruction communicates the sickness in the City of Cambridge compared to a relatively normal situation in Boston.

In Boston, normal people defend Boston.

2. Fraud in Cambridge creates destruction on the Charles River.

In Cambridge, normal people ARE KEPT FROM DEFENDING CAMBRIDGE by a massive, fraudulent organization of “protective groups” which subtly but very really look to the Development Department of the City of Cambridge for orders.

And everything that the Development Department wants destroyed, or the friends of the Development Department want destroyed gets destroyed.

How?  There you are getting into the very real fraud which is so many of the supposed “protective groups” in the City of Cambridge.

The fraud goes back to 1974 when James Leo Sullivant was returned to the position of City Manager.  Sullivan was fired in the 60s.  My guess is that he was fired as the result of activities by truly independent organizations.

Sullivan proclaimed that he would create a system of “neighborhood associations” in the City of Cambridge, and the 42 years since his return has seen a massive system of interlocked “protective groups” which bear the very clear mark of Company Unions.

Key, nowadays, in the fight for destruction of the Charles River is a fake neighborhood association which, among other things, censors ALL COMMENTS NEGATIVE TO THE CITY OF CAMBRIDGE and Cambridge’s friends on its Listserv.

This fake group fought for the destruction of those hundreds of trees in true Company Union fashion.  It lied that it loved the Charles River and told folks that it was anti Charles River to look at anything else but one historical building.  As the DCR was preparing for mass destruction, the fake group went public with its fight for destruction of those hundreds of trees.

A key action came in January 2013 to April 23, 2013.  In January 2013, the fake group put on a public meeting concerning its plans for destruction at Magazine Beach.  There was a very real probability that its destruction plans would be defeated by a fair vote.  So the people who pulled the strings conducted corrupt tactics.

The vote was postponed to the February 2013 meeting which was held on April 23, 2013.  They, by that time, had driven away the concerned folks who would have voted them down in January, but that was not enough.  They had a stacked house.  They deferred action to the last ten minutes, then they dropped a horribly complicated motion which they kept secret before then, and put it to a vote.

The monthly meetings suddenly became every other month, and discussion of the Charles River was postponed EVERY MEETING to the last ten minutes, combined with the predictable prohibition against meaningful discussion of the destruction the core group was fighting for, THOSE HUNDREDS OF TREES WHICH THEY DESTROYED IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY.

Standard company union fraud.

Now the core group has announced, and cosigned a destruction plan which would destroy 52, MOSTLY EXCELLENT, trees, never mentioned in the years before.

They spent three to six years fighting for the destruction that occurred in January - February yelling that people should look at that one building, and that it was anti Charles River to look at the hundreds of trees they were fighting to destroy.

Now the plans which WOULD HAVE BEEN DEFEATED IN 2013 except for corrupt tactics are clearer.  The core group is back to yelling, look at our historical building.  Do not look at what we are destroying.

But what they are destroying include 30 trees surrounding that historical building, and a total of 52 trees to be destroyed.

And once again, they are telling people not to look at what they are destroying.

3. The contrast between normal politics and fraud as usual in Cambridge is personified in the destruction of that off ramp.

A significant portion of the people yelling to “maximize open space” in Boston FOUGHT TO DESTROY THOSE HUNDRED OF TREES in Cambridge.

They were very visible in all the public sessions crying for the benefit they saw to themselves in destroying those trees.  They kept DEAFENINGLY silent about the fact that they lived in Boston.

Now, after achieving this outrage on the Cambridge side, they are seeking to line their pockets at the disadvantage to Cambridge interests.

These are people behaving in a normal manner.

BUT THE POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT in Cambridge fights to prevent defending the City of Cambridge against such attacks.

The Charles River got caught in the crossfire between normal, and irresponsible, behavior by Boston residents by the outrage of the fake group situation in Cambridge.

Cambridge could not defend the Cambridge side of the Charles River because the fake group system which dominates politics in Cambridge turns so many “protective” groups into FRAUDULENT grounds fighting against the causes for which they claim to stand.

4. Summary.

The off ramp being destroyed would normally be protected by concerned citizens in Cambridge, activism which apparently got James Leo Sullivan fired in the 60s.  But the fake group system which has evolved about Sullivan and his three successors prevents the sort of activism which got Sullivan fired.

And pretty much all of the visible people in Cambridge politics are tainted by this outrage.

Activists in Cambridge politics very quickly learn that they must accept the lie that fighting to destroy Cambridge is defending Cambridge, and it gets a lot worse.

5. But there is hope.

A. White Knight?

The hope visibly lies in one person, newly hired City Manager Louis A. DePasquale, although all the new City Manager needs to do is look at the vast majority of folks in the City of Cambridge, as opposed to the fraudulent entity which lies that it is the world in the City of Cambridge.

DePasquale, in contrast to his two preceding City Managers was not the number one assistant to his predecessor.  DePasquale is a lifetime Cambridge resident who has expressed interest in doing what “the people” want.  He has professed a goal to talk to the “the people” to set his priorities.

B. The Good Guys can Win.

(1) Toomey.

A recent victory organized by City Councilor and nearly former State Representative Toomey over the Development Department domination of Cambridge politics shows there is hope.

This was the City of Cambridge’s fight for passenger traffic on the Grand Junction, a fight which was defeated by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation in response to very real activism in Cambridge.

The Development Department related folks were trying to create a “protective organization” under the usual mantra, “You can’t win, you can’t win, but have we got a deal for you.”

Toomey ignored them.  He just won at the forefront of normal human beings outside the control of the fake group system.

(2) Your Editor.

Similarly, for environmental purposes, I have had a hand in writing  more of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Cambridge than anybody else not employed by the City of Cambridge.

My victory pattern was very clear: keep the robots influenced by the Development Department as far away as possible.  The further away I kept the robots, the greater my successes.

And
(a) I have won more than I lost, plus
(b) my proposals do what I said they do.

Both are in sharp contrast to the zoning activities of the fake groups.

(3) YES.

It is possible for decency to win in Cambridge.  But it does take the nerve to stand up to the fraud influenced by a very rotten situation.
