Mayor Burke and City Solicitor Put Roadblocks to Free Speech on Station Manager Pat Gordon
In
New Hampshire, a man was arrested by the police for calling out alleged
corruption. Sounds like an arraignment notice that this reporter
received in the mail on or about
January
8, 2016, resulting in my defeating (prevailing over) obnoxious Richard
F. Caraviello, the thin-skinned buffoon who is as incompetent as he is
tongue-tied. Caraviello lied to the police about a violent assault on
my person by disgraceful ex-city clerk Edward P. Finn, the poorly
dressed slob who violated the First Amendment repeatedly editing
petitions to the city council by yours truly and allegedly by another
respected senior citizen who lives in Medford.
Extreme
enough for you mumbling, bumbling Caraviello? Did you not get the
votes this year to be Council President? We'll find out tonight at the
city council on Elvis Presley and David Bowie's birthday. This article
is about VOTER SUPPRESSION by the Muccini-Burke Administration by
DENYING the public the Access TV that they pay for, while her Highness
Stephanie has access TV to promote herself, candidates for elected
office be damned. We have a few breadcrumbs for you, but no real
access.
OK, let us follow those bread crumbs, Hansel and Gretel, and see how dark it gets down the rabbit hole of access TV in Medford and surrounding communities.
Yes, fasten your safety belts, the writing is going to be hot and extreme in this e mail to prove a free speech point.
See this article:
New Hampshire Police Arrested a Man for Being Mean to Them on the Internet
Should it be a crime to call public officials corrupt? Yes, according
to the police in Exeter, New Hampshire. Earlier this year, they arrested a local man for writing a comment on a news website accusing Police Chief William Shupe of covering for a corrupt officer.
Robert
Frese was accused of violating New Hampshire’s criminal defamation law,
which makes it a misdemeanor to intentionally and falsely disparage
another person. New Hampshire’s law — and others like it in 23 other states around the country — literally make it a crime to say mean things about people.
In its decision upholding the newspaper’s First Amendment rights, the
Supreme Court recognized the “profound national commitment to the
principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust,
and wide-open, and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and
sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public
officials.”
NOW THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
Visual
Radio, my TV show, has performed more outreach over the years than many
access TV stations. That's right, guests on my program have learned
about access, joined stations in their cities and towns, some of these
guests being elected to boards at various stations, some rising to the
level of president at two stations in the Commonwealth.
Thanks
to my hard work and honest efforts. That and 2 bucks gets me a Dunkin
Donuts coffee and probably more lawsuits but c'est la vie!
Mark Rumley and Muccini-Burke have STOMPED on my ability to teach access television. Oh this is the most fun e mail you are going to get today and will get lots of hits on my blog, MedfordInformationCentral.com which is now at 1 million three hundred thousand plus reads...oh, did some city lawyer tell a judge "no one reads" the blog? Really?
Rumley,
Muccini-Burke and the gang hire hacks like Ben "Now you see me now you
don't" Brown who got the hell out of dodge quicker than you can say "Was
Rumley in Somerville Court allegedly doing his own law practice on
Medford company time? allegedly allegedly allegedly) and now we have my
old pal Pat Gordon, Muccini-Burke's current dish rag going through the
motions to NOT do proper "outreach" and NOT fight for citizens' rights
to speak freely on the air in a city that Malden TV President George
(another coward) Manfra said would never have true public access:
Medford.
That's right, my old back-stabbing long-time pal George Manfra (repeat, spin, wash - Malden TV President) wouldn't know free speech if it bit him, and his Malden station protege, Patrick Gordon, is now in the quicksand that Manfra said could never be fixed. HA HA....you have to love the irony of it. Manfra says Medford will NEVER have access TV (and he has said this to me repeatedly over the past decade or more) and now Pat Gordon, from Malden TV, is at the helm of the sinking ship, with Mark Rumley shooting holes in the censorship boat with his little water pistol day after day after day. It's a damn disgrace as the vultures, Comcast, RCN, Verizon, all lick their chops in the hopes of denying the funding. Which, at this point, they should! When the infection bleeds to Winchester, Somerville, Malden and Medford, one wonders why class action suits galore aren't popping up.
Muccini-Burke
and Mark E. Rumley intentionally and with great malice stand in the way
of your right to free speech using the three idiots, Jay Campbell,
Yvette Wilks and Gabby Follette-Sumney on a phony "cable advisory board"
to perpetuate their ugly dog and pony show. Mr. Rumley thinks CORI
checking public access producers to create a roadblock to freedom of the
press is not a violation of the First Amendment when ex Mayor McGlynn
worked behind the backs of his Cable TV tribunal and his
intentionally-defunct Cable TV Commission to put the perpetually damned
TV station at the high school, where sexual predators - as documented in
the press - have been the rule, not the exception.
So
your grandma needs a CORI check to bake cookies (unless her name is
Lena, do as we say, not as we do) but Jenna Tarabelsi, Mark Smith and
the allegations against a varsity coach have to do with the safety of
your children at the high school How sick is that?
"Former Medford High School teacher Mark Smith lost his
teaching license last year after allegations surfaced he sexually abused
a former female student."
According
to this writer's sources the word "former" allegedly is not appropriate
in that article, but we'll have to check with my consultant Roy Belson
up in Cummings Park Woburn - and his hairdresser - to be sure. Oh,
that's right, ol' baldy doesn't have a hairdresser, does he?
OK, we're being extreme here to prove a point.
And
don't you believe for a second that McGlynn is really the "ex-Mayor,"
McGlynn pulls faux Mayor Muccini-Burke's puppet strings (is she shopping
at Wegman's on company time today? Enquiring minds want to know!!!)
from the shadows and most in the city are hip to this, something they
certainly don't want on access TV, Malden Mayor Christenson!
Poor Mayor Christenson, now there's a coward if you ever encountered
one. Gary C runs and hides from access problems, maybe it should be Gary
Charlatan - of course when you have Thomas Finneran and the disgraced
sheriff, the late Jimmy DiPaola, on your resume you're like Tom Cruise
in THE FIRM putting the creepy lawyers at Bendini, Lambert and Locke front and center as your mentors and benefactors. Ugghh
With a Wikipedia like this, Gary, who needs enemies?
Political career
Gary's political career began with working for the Massachusetts House Ways and Means committee from 1994-1997. Reporting to Tom Finneran
(who later in his career was found guilty of using his influence
unjustly) he was a budget analyst, revenue director, and special
assistant.
School Committee
Gary was encouraged to join the school committee by his mentor, James DiPaola,
a Malden resident, former head of the Middlesex County's Sheriff
Department, where Gary had worked for him. DiPaola would later commit
suicide as he was being investigated for ethics violations
Access
TV in Malden under Christenson! HA! Not when the loony executive
director who hogs up the airtime for himself and not the public does the
indefensible at a party, but I digress...you can read my MCAD filing
and court case on those individuals coming sooner than later this
winter...He's more like actor Ronny Cox in Total Recall than an access
TV E.D.
.____________________________________________________________________________________________________
You have voter suppression when the access TV funding is abused by censoring individuals who want their voice heard.
Mark Rumley's job is to go BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY to open up the access TV airwaves for the public.
Rumley's hands are SO UNCLEAN in this matter that it is abhorrent.
The
city solicitor of Medford has long outworn his welcome. Just as
ex-Police Chief Sacco's departure is a very, very, very good thing. As
Roy Belson not being in the chair of School Superintendent, is a very,
very, very good thing. McGlynn is not in the corner office, but he is,
actually, and that's a very, very, very bad thing for Medford.
Your
right to vote is inhibited by the actions of a Neil Osborne (How high
do you want me to jump today, Stephanie?) by a George Scarpelli, by a
John Falco, a city council that has no brains and fewer ethics.
Oh,
by the way, this is the pitch for me to be appointed Executive Director
of Medford Community Media. That is, if you want a courageous,
hard-working fellow opening the floodgates to access TV before
Comcast/Verizon and their ilk finally shut the door for good.
Rumor
has it my good friend State Rep Paul Donato secretly tells people that
I'm the best guy for the job. If Paul wasn't too busy grabbing the
private parts of the then city council vice president, ultra-coward
Michael Marks, in front of two little kids and a high school student at
the opening of Medford Community Media (what a christening, Mr.
Christenson!) 10:30 am on the dot October 15, 2017, the anniversary of
when Court Clerk Brian S. Burke, husband of the absentee mayor called me
a "mother-blanker" at the Chevalier taping a back-up of the "Great
Debate" - you can't make this stuff up - Paul Donato on opening day uses
sign language to say Play Ball, at Michael "deer-in-the-headlight look"
Marks expense.
I heard in April Michael Marks said "Joe Vig was right" - yeah, Mark, I am, but you're too busy getting a zipper massage to do anything about it.
Hey Gary Christenson, got any photos of your State Rep playing handy-shandy with a Medford politician? No? Want to buy some?
Joe Vig for Executive Director of Medford Community Media. If you want some real fun!, Martha Coakley!
