10/15/07 - Did Port Chester Police Train With Blackwater?

Blackwater Training Center: Over 6000 acres of private land



Blackwater training police in American cities and towns


Source: Wayne Madsen Report


Has the Port Chester Police Department Been Training With Blackwater?


See # 7 Below


==================================


October 14-15, 2007 -- Blackwater training police in American cities and towns


The mercenary firm Blackwater USA is well known for the controversy involving its "shoot first, ask no questions" policy in Iraq. It is also known that Louisiana's Department of Homeland Security contracted with Blackwater to provide public law enforcement services in New Orleans following hurricane Katrina. Blackwater is also planning to establish regional training centers in Potrero, California and Mount Carroll, Illinois, billed as Blackwater West and Blackwater North, respectively.


These training centers, in addition to Blackwater's Lodge and Training Center in Moyock, North Carolina -- Blackwater East -- and a possible fourth rumored to be slated for the Pacific Northwest -- Blackwater Northwest -- may result in the establishment of a network of Blackwater-trained police, sheriffs, and other police units around the country. Given Blackwater's dismal record on human rights and brutality, this spells trouble for civilian control of police and paramilitary forces in the United States, from major metropolitan areas to small rural towns.

On October 14, the Washington Post ran a story, which included photographs from Blackwater's Moyock training center. However, what was most intriguing was a photograph of a police and military patch board at Blackwater's headquarters that indicated the police agencies that have sent their officers to Moyock for training.

Blackwater is secretive about its non-federal, as well as its foreign clients, which the Post pointed out includes Jordan, Azerbaijan, and Burkina Faso, but a WMR inspection of the photograph of the police agencies has yielded the following list of agencies that have used Blackwater for training:

1. Iowa Department of Natural Resources


2. Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff's Department


3. Matthews, North Carolina Police


4. Atlanta Police


5. Chillicothe, Ohio Police


6. Charleston, South Carolina Police


7. Port Chester, NY Police .....


....53. Dallas, Texas Police.


A number of the police departments that have been trained by Blackwater have abysmal civil rights and police brutality records, most notably the Chicago Police and Illinois State Police, both cited by former Illinois Governor George Ryan as being guilty of police misconduct in his decision to commute the death sentences of Illinois' death row inmates


The training and potential political indoctrination of police officers by the extreme right-wing and proto-fascist Blackwater, coupled with the politicization of the Justice Department and U.S. courts, has the potential for the streets of Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York, and Washington, DC, as well as Chillicothe, Harvey Cedars, and Elmira to turn as bloody as the streets of Baghdad and Fallujah.


The citizens of Port Chester have a right to know if Blackwater has or is currently training their police officers. Local officials should reveal the numbers and identities of any officers trained by Blackwater, the subjects covered by the training, and the revenues spent.


If the Port Chester Police Department has trained with Blackwater, they should be made to cease and desist in such training.

The Port Chester High School marching band performs yesterday during the school's Home Band Competition.

HEADLINE:

Marching bands compete in Port Chester

STORY:

Rafael Garcia was a tad nervous yesterday, but didn't have the jitters he felt the week before when the Port Chester High School marching band performed at Giants Stadium.

"This is much calmer," the 17-year-old tuba player said of yesterday's 25th annual Musical Arts Conference competition at Port Chester High School.

"The sound is so much bigger in Giants Stadium," Garcia said, looking crisp in his navy blue uniform. "With the 10-foot wall we had to play over, we had to keep our horns up."

There were no walls to muffle the sound at the high school's football field. Eleven New York and Connecticut marching bands, including the Port Chester Middle School Band, provided energetic and colorful performances to about 1,000 spectators filling the stands.

10/14/07 - Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin And His Hedge Fund Altima Partners Gets Suckerd Out Of Millions In Tajikistan Gold Scam

Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin's Hedge Fund Gives 2.8 Million British Pounds To A Tajik Mining Venture Called Saddleback Gold.



In recent days, Tajik officials, Kazakh mining sources, and sources in Moscow all confirm that Saddleback Gold does not have exploration or mining rights to any Tajik gold.



But wait it only gets worse the news report states, "According to one ministerial source who counts, this is not going to change."

Apparently, a Chinese group also wanted to invest in Tajik gold and will be successful because they have legitimate partners, but Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin ended up with a bunch of local Tajik hustlers.

It Looks Like Supervisor Wanna Be Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin And His Hedge Fund Just Flushed 2.8 Million British Pounds Of Their Investor's Money Down A Tajik Toilet. Maybe someone should step in and protect these hedge fund investors from Tajik hustlers , hopefully some one will quickly do an audit of Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin and his hedge fun.

For Your Information 2,800,000.00 British Pounds = 5,691,868.49 United States Dollars.



READ THE FULL STORY:



Tajik gold – there’s gold in them thar Pamirs



A group of Tajik men were recently taken by surprise, in the woods outside Moscow, when they spotted an animal they had never seen before. "Small bear!" "Small bear!" they shouted in excitement to a Russian nearby, summoning her to come quickly.


The Russian ran to the scene, for sightings of bears are rare near Moscow - unless the creature has escaped from a zoo or circus. A young bear on its own, apart from its parent, or human handler, is even rarer. But as soon as the Russian followed the pointed fingers of the Tajiks to the high branch of a tree, it became clear the animal they were looking at was - a squirrel.


It turns out that in the Tajik language, which is a form of Persian, there is a word for squirrel (sanjab), but few Tajiks have ever spotted one. The nearest counterpart is much bigger - a small bear.


If you are looking for gold in Tajikistan, Tajiks aren't the only ones to say they see a small bear, when in fact there's nothing more than a squirrel. For mining investors and gold bugs in London, the record of gold sighting, and proving, in Tajikistan has proved until now to be disappointing - with short bursts of excitement that have tended to peter out.


One of those occurred in July, when Altima Partners, a hedge fund working out of an office in Carlton Gardens - down the road from Anglo American's headquarters - placed GBP2.8 million in a Tajik mining venture called Saddleback Gold. In recent days, Tajik officials, Kazakh mining sources, and sources in Moscow all confirm that Saddleback Gold does not have exploration or mining rights to any Tajik gold. According to one ministerial source who counts, this is not going to change......

Please don't let Supervisor Wanna Be Joe "The Harvard Educated Fool" Carvin's Hedge Fund's incrediblly stupid investment decision scare you away from letting him collect and administer your hard earned tax dollars, because Billy "Don't Mess With Me - I Got A GED" Villanova, Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel and Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel are going to Help out the Harvard Educated Fool handle your tax dollars.

Proposed bike-helmet law for Westchester

Source: Journal News

Reading the "bike helmet" article on a cool, rainy Wednesday morning, certainly got me hot under the collar! Because of a hectic work schedule, I missed any preceding media coverage on efforts by our lawmakers to make ALL bike riders wear helmets. I also missed the public meeting to voice my opposition. Governments are placing more and more restrictions on choice. This bike issue just adds one more insult. Next they will ban high-heeled shoes for women, mandate the use of sunscreen at beaches, and who knows what else.

I often ride to and park my bike by the train station. But I'll be darned if I have to drag a helmet along with me to Manhattan, or leave it attached to my bike all day. I'll go back to fouling the air with my car. It seems that our legislators want to slip one more "s" in after the "s" in representative, and omit the remaining part of the word.

10/13/07 - What The Hell Is A Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

School Union Members Say That School Taxes Have Went Up 13 1/2 %, Because The We$tmore $nooze Ignores Their Complaints And Covers Up Wrong Doings On The School Board.

Ever Since Rye Town Took Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel To Court For Failing To Pay All Of His Tax Bill, The We$tmore $nooze Has Refused To Fully Report That Rye Town Has Lowered Taxes Two Years In A Row While The Port Chester Schools Have Increased Taxes 13 1/2%.

See Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #1

See Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #2

The neglected Port Chester Teachers who are still working without a contract say that they told Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel (AKA Notorious Newspaper Theif) all about the wrong doings listed in Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #1 and Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #2, but the Abel refused to report on the illegal abuses occurring in the school system.

The Abel's Just Wanted To Cover Up For Their Republican Friends At The School Board.

Don't The Port Chester Teachers Know That The Abel's Only Want To Help People Like Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova.

The Abel's Have Filled The We$tmore $nooze With page after boring page about how Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova is upset that he did not get a routine form letter.

The teachers told the Abel's that the School Taxes were up 13 1/2%, because of Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #1 and Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga Link #2.

The teachers even told the Abel's that ex-Port Chester School President Dominick "I Did Not Edit Thr Racist Flier" Bencivenga voted a substaintial raise to Athletic Director Joesph Durney without revealing to the public that Mr. Durney employed his wife.

Jim "Don't Mess With My Wife" Dreaves and the other school board members just looked the other way and the tax payers got the 13 1/2% increase.

The teachers also told the We$tmore $nooze that ex-Port Chester Board President Dominick "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga's sister in law is given special privaleges that no other Port Chester School employee gets.

The teachers also belive that these special privlages help increase school taxes.

Some of the Port Chester teachers say that the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze Dosen't support the children of Port Chester, because the Abel's look the other way as the teachers are forced to work with out a contract.

Well, Duh, Of Coarce The Founder Of The We$tmore $nooze Doesn't Care About The Teachers Or The Children Of Port Chester, Otherwise He Would Not Have "Forgotten" To Pay Over 100 Property And School Tax Bills.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

Don't they know that Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel is in middle of a vendetta with the Town Of Rye, because they took him to court for tax evasion.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

Don't they know that Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel dosen't want to hear a bunch of teachers whine that illegal and improper activity at the school is the reason that school taxes have went up 13 1/2%.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

Don't they know that apparently Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel thinks that a 13 1/2% School tax increase is a good thing.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

These Port Chester teaches need to wake up and understand that Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze belives that the Town Of Rye is evil for cutting property taxes two years in a row.

Don't they read the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze. Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel (AKA Notorious Newspaper Theif) don't want to fairly cover the Port Chester Teacher's Contract, because they are too busy with thier vendetta agaist the evil Town Of Rye that cut Property taxes two years in a row.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

Can't they go back and look at the last 52 weeks of the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze and look and see if you can find an article about the Port Chester Teachers working with out a contract or about the outrageous 13 1/2% school tax increase. Surely there is at least 1 article in between the hundreds of Rye Town Vendetta pages.

What The Hell Is The Matter With These Port Chester Teachers.

Can't they go back and read the last 1oo of Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel's "Town Liar" column in the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, and see that not one word was mentioned about the teachers contract or the outrageous 13 1/2% School Tax Increase.

Why aren't they calling up Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel at

And One More Thing.

I am going to politely ask the hard working and caring teachers of Port Chester not to call me and tell me how many spelling or grammer errors are in this article.

Listen, it is not my fault that I do not have a good grasp of the kings English, because I am a vitim of schools that were under funded, because of greedy jerks like Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel.

10/12/07 - Keepin Up With The Jones. Greenwich Rasises Parking Fees 10% In Order To Keep Up With Port Chester.

Train parking to get pricier

Source: Norwalk Advocate

The Board of Selectmen voted 2-1 yesterday to increase parking permit fees by 10 percent at train station and municipal lots throughout town.

The new rates would take effect next October at a total of 11 lots, and would generate approximately $147,000 in additional revenue each year for Greenwich's parking fund, according to figures provided by Alan Corry, the town parking services director. The increases will affect parking permits, not parking meters.

First Selectman Jim Lash said the increase will help replenish the parking fund for maintenance at structures, such as the Town Hall garage, which is undergoing more than $400,000 in construction now.

'My concern continues to be that we need money to spend on our parking facilities,' Lash said.
The changes will see annual fees at nine lots, including all outdoor railroad parking lots, increase from $242 to $266. Those include Arcadia Road, Carrona Drive, Horseneck Lane, Iron Horse Lane, Steamboat Road/Arch Street, Loughlin Avenue and Riverside, Old Greenwich and Cos Cob railroad stations. Rates at the covered parking garage downtown will rise from $423 to $465 per year, and at the West End lot in Old Greenwich from $165 to $181 per year.

Selectman Penny Monahan opposed the measure, saying Greenwich's parking permit rates are in line with those in towns such as Darien, Westport and Rye, N.Y. But Lash and Selectman Peter Crumbine said the rates are far lower than those in neighboring towns such as Stamford and Rye. In Stamford, annual parking permits can cost more than $1,000, outdoor parking permits cost $505 per year in Port Chester, according to Corry.

'I'm always reluctant to characterize other people's spending as moderate, but this (the new rates) wouldn't be out of line with the two adjacent towns,' Lash said.....

10/12/07 - GOLDIE SOLOMAN, MAX RAMIREZ AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG.

You won’t read this in the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, but…

GOLDIE SOLOMAN, MAX RAMIREZ AND THEIR SUPPORTERS WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG.

Six months ago Goldie Solomon, Max Ramirez and their single family homeowner supporters repeatedly argued that Port Chester had enough money and that Port Chester Village could cut taxes just like the Town Of Rye Has for the last two years in a row.

Deputy Port Chester Mayor Dominick Cicatelli even agreed with Goldie, Max and their supporters by saying, “I believe that it is entirely possible for the Village to cut taxes.”

According to Trustee Dan Brakewood, the Port Chester Village Manager and the professional staff under estimated revenues and expenses by about 8%, Apparently, Port Chester is sitting on over 1 million bucks of extra money that would wipe out this years Port Chester Village Property Tax increase.

When are the politicians and the professional staff going to start listening to Goldie Solomon when she says, “Cut the taxes, we can’t afford this anymore!” When are the politician’s and professional staff going to start listening to Max Ramirez, who has repeatedly said “Give the homeowners back their money,”

This extra one million dollars in tax money needs to be refunded to the single family homeowners of Port Chester immediately.

The taxes have been cut in the Town of Rye two years in a row. If we can give each single family homeowner a Port Chester Village Property Tax Rebate, then we can go after Abel’s school board buddies and try and reverse the outrageous 13% Port Chester School Tax increase.

When is the hopelessly biased rag known as the We$tmore $nooze going to expose the outrageous waste behind the
13 ½% school tax increase that is choking the single family homeowners of Port Chester.

When the Port Chester School Union members told the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, that ex-Port Chester School Board President Dominick “I Did Not Edit Bart’s Racist Flyer” Bencivenga had moved out of New York State for six months and not resigned from the Port Chester School Board. The hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze refused to report the story.

When school employees complained to the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze that Port Chester School Board Member Jim “Leave My Wife Alone” Dreave’s wife was illegally pressuring school employees to buy her overpriced costume jewelry while on school time and property. The hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze refused to report that Port Chester teachers were illegally being pressured to buy Ms. Dreave’s gaudy and tasteless trinkets.

Why wont the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze expose the waste that is behind this years 13 ½% School tax increase.

COMMENT:

When ex-Port Chester Port Chester School Board President Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga moved out of state for six months, the Port Chester Teacher's Union became concerned at went to see Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel at the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze.

The Abel's decided to hide this from the single family homeowners who had to pay the outrageous 13 1/2% School Tax Increace this year.

But the school board member Jim "Leave My Wife Alone" Dreaves started getting nervous that the cover up was about to come to light, so the Port Chester Chief Of Police was enlisted to help Dominic "I Did Not Edit That Racist Flier" Bencivenga get a tiny little apartment in Port Chester.

Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga is now back home with his family.

The Port Chester Teacher's union sent a letter with both of these accusations to each of the school board candidates who were running against Dominic "I Did Not Edit That Racist Flier" Bencivenga. Both candidates told the We$tmore $nooze they had received the letter and one candidate even gave the We$tmore $nooze a copy of the letter.

But, Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and his son the Rye Town Drama Queen were in on the cover up.

You are paying the Outrageous 13 1/2% School Tax the We$tmore $nooze is a hopelessly biased rag that is being used to attack the Town Of Rye which has cut property taxes two years in a row.

The fact that the State Of Florida and the Town of Rye has caught Bernie failing to pay all of his on his property taxes has nothing to do with the fact that the We$tmore $nooze winks at the School Board Republicans, while attacking Democrats that have taken him to court for once again failing to pay his property taxes.

Don't Make Our Politician's Kiss

If you let Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel is allowed to use the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze to punish government officials who have taken him to court for tax evasion, then you will see all the school and village officials lining up to kiss his old wrinkly ass out of fear that he will use the We$tmore $nooze against them.

There was a mix-up over where the meeting was being held.

No Government Cable Channel Coverage

No Agendas for the public

No press kit

Police Chief and staff were not given all the information for the parking discussion.

Worse yet the public were not allowed to participate or comment on the meeting.

Deputy Mayor Dominick Cicatelli was unable to attend the meeting even though he was out of town.

The Board discussed the

G&S Parking Proposal

Permit parking

Valet parking

Leberge Group Parking proposal

New parking laws

The Columbus Park Project – surveillance cameras

And 120,000 and 50,000 in additional funds for construction inspections and rocks.

Personally, I started to get a little bored durring the long discussion about if Port Chester would partisipate in a regional storm water utility district. I was tempted to touch Richhard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel on the sholder to see if he would act like a girly man and run up and disrupt the meeting.

However, I decided not to upset Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel, because Mayor Dennis Pilla hates it when people act crazy at his board meetings.

Port Chester Mayor Dennis Pilla Does Not Want To Hear From The Public About Items Discussed At Public Work Sessions And Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel Does Not Get A Free Sandwich

STORY:

Five or six Port Chester Residents wanted to speak about issues concerning Port Chester at last nights Port Chester Board Of Trustee's Work Session meeting.

These Port Chester residents were disappointed that they could not speak about issues discussed at the work session.

However, there was an upside to Mayor Pilla's ban on Public comments.

Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin did not get to go on like a broken record about how the Town Of Rye has done a bad job by cutting Town taxes two years in a row.

When Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin found out there were not going to be any public comments or TV cameras he left the meeting.

Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel followed Carvin out of the meeting saying “ I thought there would be comments. Apparently there not having comments tonight. There’s no television coverage anyway.”

Richard talked with Joe out in the hallway for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel seemed to be disappointed that Joe Carvin did not take him to the Port Chester Coach diner for a free sandwich.

Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin always takes Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel and Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel out for a free sandwich after they act like fools on the cable TV cameras at the Rye Town Board Meetings

I think Supervisor Wanna Be Joe Carvin was pissed off that Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel drug him out durring a thunderstorm to go to a meeting with no public coments or cable tv cameras.

10/10/07 - Why Wasn't Bob Sorensen Informed About Bruno Gioffre Bringing Another Bad Condo Project To The United Hospital Site In Port Chester

HEADLINE:

Would Someone Please Explain To Trustee Bob Sorensen That His So-Called Republican Buddies Aldo "The Patronage Boy" Vitaliano And Bruno "Spot Zone" Gioffre Want To Bring Another Massive Multi - Family Apartment Building To Port Chester

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"It was a surprise to me" - Trustee Bob Sorensen

STORY:

Even though Mayor Dennis Pilla said that there would be no public or trustee comments at the October 9th Work session, he went ahead and let the trustees make comments at the meeting.

Trustee Robert Sorensen said that he was upset that he read about the United Hospital project yesterday morning and that he already had two calls before he got to his newspaper sales job in Stamford.

Trustee Sorensen was very upset that the press had been briefed about the project before he was.

Mayor Pilla said that there had been a great deal of talk in the community about the Massive Multi - Family Condo project and that Trustee Sorensen was present during board comments about this project that will increase school taxes a few weeks ago.

Plus Mayor Pilla said that there had been a previous story in the Westmore Snooze.

COMMENT:

Doesn't Mayor Pilla realize that Trustee Bob Sorensen probably never reads the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze, since Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel encouraged ex-We$tmore $nooze columnist and chief pollster Bart "The Bigot" Didden to go after his family for all those parking tickets.

Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel sure did use a lot of space in the We$tmore $nooze to attack Trustee Sorensen and his family, because they paid a lot of money to the Village Of Port Chester for parking tickets.

Trustee Sorensen has probably heard how Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel has bragged to scores of people about how he will never be re-elected because of all the biased stories and letters that appeared in the We$tmore $nooze.

I bet Bob Sorensen dose not read the Westmore Snooze, because they allowed Bart “The Bigot” Didden to unfairly attack his family over parking tickets in the Hopelessly Biased We$tmore $nooze.
