Well, we last saw our Kings County GOP Chairman gesturing at a pair of guys using a baby for a stage prop at a very poorly attended meeting at the back of a bar

 
That was about a week ago  ---  but it's still more than a month later than Ted Ghorra's latest visual on the Brooklyn GOP's Meta-FB page

About Chairman Ghorra & HIS version and vision of the Brooklyn GOP,  we say along with Winston Churchill  >>>  "Take this pudding away  ---  it has no theme!"

 

Ted Ghorra always reminds us of the old Amex commercial with a fussy and annoyed Martin Scorsese [Talking to a drug store clerk  ---  while looking at his shapshots] “This one, it’s far too nostalgic....  [Dismissive] It’s pretty... How could I have done this?...  I’ve lost the narrative thread.... I’ll have to re-shoot....  [Shot: calling on his cell phone] It’s your Uncle Marty. How’d you like to turn five again?”.....

That last bit encapsulates it all when it comes to Ghorra  ---  he thinks that he is some kind of genius perfectionist, when everybody around can see that he is just a buffoon playing the role of a fool pretending that he can make us all his five-year old nephews again.

Such narcissism and petty aspirations as Ted Ghorra repeatedly exhibits is not the vision or the "narrative thread" that we need for the Brooklyn GOP in 2022 and going forward.

Brian Fox steps on his own dick yet another time rushing to put out a video about another alleged "hate crime" in Bay Ridge

 

Earth to Brian  !   Earth to Brian !!!  EARTH TO BRIAN !!!!!

TRY TO DO SOME BASIC RESEARCH INTO & ABOUT YOUR ALLEGED CRIME STORIES  >>> BEFORE PUTTING OUT YOUR ALTOGETHER TOO ROUTINE FAKE NEWS VIDEOS ABOUT THEM.....

The Brian Fox video about some alleged "hate crime" at the Schnitzel Haus on 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge is just a hodge-podge of nonsense and slanders  ---  and yet another example of Fox trying to peddle his narrative that he is doing sonething about crime, when all that he is doing is shooting off his big fat mouth with key facts about the incidents all screwed up  ---  or left out completely

Fox repeatedly made charges against a local Democrat Member of the New York State Assembly, Mathylde Frontus, for her failure to act on this so-called "hate crime"  ---  when in reality, it is Fox's own fellow Republican, Michael Tannousis, who is the Assembly Member that actually represents the area where the incident took place

Also, please note  >>>  None of this happened at or to the Schnitzel Haus premises at all, but in a temporary shed built out in the roadway of Fifth Avenue near 74th Street......

This picture is worth a thousand words --- but what does it really say about the Brooklyn GOP ???

 

...and what is it saying to the rest of the Brooklyn GOP 
that had so many better things to do than be there
to watch these three chuckleheads doing their
version of a scene from that classic movie
"Three Men and a Baby" ???

 

BTW, this was almost half the "crowd" that showed up at the Leif Bar on Monday evening.....  On this particular night, the little group called itself the Verrazzano Republican Club   ---   you know, that's the so-called political organization for a vaguely described area that somebody calls "South Brooklyn"  

Who is really in charge here ?    Show of hands  !!!  

Is it Ted Ghorra ???   Is it Brian Fox ?????   Is it Liam McCabe ???????   >>>  Or is it the baby ??????????

---  Given the blocking in the shot, the vote of everybody here at this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island is on the baby's being the one who's in charge.....

It's the day after --- and the VERRAZZANO REPUBLICAN CLUB is as much a non-existant organization now as it was when Liam McCabe made it up in 2018

 
For weeks we were told that Brian Fox was the new head of "something" that only existed in somebody else's head  >>>  but that there was going to be a meeting of that "something" at the Lief Bar on January 24th  >>>  and that "something" is THE VERRAZZANO REPUBLICAN CLUB

So, where is the press release about this "Phoenix from the Ashes" get together of that great and long-hallowed Brooklyn GOP organization for what they call "South Brooklyn" ?

So, where are the social media postings about this "Phoenix from the Ashes" get together of that great and long-hallowed Brooklyn GOP organization for what they call "South Brooklyn" ???

So, where are all the photos showing this "Phoenix from the Ashes" get together of that great and long-hallowed Brooklyn GOP organization for what they call "South Brooklyn" ?????

So, was Brian Fox at the Lief Bar last night holding any kind of meeting at all of his filthy friends and followers ???????

We're pretty sure that this isn't going to be the last about this  ---  this is just too good,,,,,    because that's what this is  ---  just too good  ---  and not the last.....

Don't wait for two generations --- start the counter revolution --- NOW

 

With the end of World War Two, Great Britain lurched hard left in economic matters with the disposal of Churchill and the post-war Labor Party revolution.  After a decade of ups & downs, and ins & outs,  the ascent of "Bevanism" inside the Labor Party was complete by the late fifties, and at the top of British government with the selection of Harold Wilson as Prime Minister in 1964

Irrespective of the political three-ring circus of Brit politics during the late-'40s, '50s, '60s, '70's, and early-'80s, Great Britain was an economic basket case for most of the two post war generations prior to the manifest effectivenenss of Margaret Thatcher's counter-revolutionary reforms during the 1980s

History is repeating itself, but this time on steroids  >>> right here in the good old USA <<<  and it is happening across the whole country  ---  simultaneously on the national, state, and local level 

FOR US THAT MEANS  >>>  HERE  ---  IN BROOKLYN  & STATEN ISLAND  ---  HERE  ---  IN NEW YORK CITY & STATE  ---  AND  ---   HERE  ---  ACROSS-AND-IN EVERY PART OF THIS GREAT LAND OF OURS  

The symptoms are everywhere  ---  the revolution started long before the coup of 2020  ---  the just-for-show innauguration of the illicit, more-robber-dad-than-president Joe Biden  --- after the unsuccessful pushback by the people in Washington on January 6th  ---  and the universal reactive moves at all levels of government, and other social and/or economic control, to make any and all opposition to the revolution unlawful, socially and economically unacceptable, and meaningless.

Economically, stag-flation is getting back to its mid-1970s and early-80s levels.....  And full-scale Venezuela-style "Maduro-ism" is crossing over into our political mainstream   >>>   as fast as our latest horde of unregulated, unvetted, unlawfully admitted "new citizens" are crossing over our wide-open and very inviting southern border.....

If you continue to sit back a wait, two generations will fly by.  Legacy and lawfully naturalized Americans will be a powerless and rudderless minority;  and there will be no Margaret Thatcher here to lead any counter-revolution.

Let's get real --- the Brooklyn GOP is up against the following villainous crew: Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes, and a pandemonium of thousands of lost souls --- AND --- Jerry Kassar, Fran the Kassar fan, Ted the Kassar fan, Liam the Kassar fan, Brian the Kassar fan, and behind that Kassar crowd, a little brood of other large filthy fannies

 

Before any era of political rebirth and revival  >>>  there must be a purge


The Brooklyn GOP is no exception to that rule  ---  and that purge is long overdue

Half the job has been done for the Republicans by the Democrats everywhere around Brooklyn  ---  but the rest of the job needs to be done by the few remaining real Republicans and real conservatives, who need to get active inside, take over, and remake the Brooklyn GOP into a functioning and genuine Republican County organization.....

Brian xyZ. Fox does another TV video --- And guess what he is demanding --- Believe it or not, Fox says that he wants "TRANSPARENCY" from Brannan, Gounardes and Frontus --- but then, Fox got lost in his errant thoughts about "Nathan's"

 

OMG !!!

>>>  IN A MAJOR BLUNDER <<< 

Under his breath, Fox slipped in his own
 promise that he would provide 
his own "transparency".....  

Question:  Show of hands  ---  who thinks that "Marmaduke the Mamaluke" Fox is serious about any of this ???

Universal answer:  Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hahahaha-oh-ho-ho-ho-hee-hee-hee-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha !!!!!!!!

Fox mentioned "Nathan's"  & "$12 million"  ---  and then it morphed into "Nathan's" & "$25 million"  ---  And then the video camera did a close up, and you could see it in Fox's over-stimulated doggy-brown glassy eyes.....

 

>>>  Fox was thinkin' about lots of hot dogs, and wolfing them down fast as he could in a July 4th, 2022 showdown with Joey Chestnut  <<<

This is the essential Brian xyZ. Fox.....   

This is the essential Brian xyZ. Fox at his worst.....   

This is the essential Brian xyZ. Fox at his best.....   

The "live" TV interview of Brian xyZ. Fox wasn't an interview, it wasn't live, and it wasn't TV

 
There is nothing about "Marmaduke the Mamaluke" Brian Fox or what he says that is genuine or real

Although doubling down on his anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and anti-Bay Ridge position on the whole Blake Zavadsky-Ilan Kaganovich story, which he did during his so-called "live" TV interview, was genuinely stupid and, typically for Fox, misinformed

The man charged, variously called "Othman Suleiman" or "Suleiman Othman" in the pro-Zionist, anti-Palestinian press was grossly overcharged for the incident that occurred on December 26th in front of the Bay Ridge Foot Locker store  >>> and the alleged suspect was made to post $1000, because of an "arrest record" that included alleged violent matters, and at least one outstanding warrant

Brian xyZ. Fox expressed outrage at the judge for not taking a more Drakonian position, and only requiring the $1000 bail  >>>  which showed that "Marmaduke the Mamaluke" Fox is both very misinformed about the normal handling of a case like the one against Suleiman Othman or Othman Suleiman  ---  AND  ---  FOX IS A COMPLETE HYPOCRITE, BECAUSE HIS OWN ARREST RECORD INCLUDED VIOLENT MATTERS AND OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AT A TIME IN THE PAST AROUND THE TIME OF SOME OF THE STUFF IN THE OTHMAN-SULEIMAN RECORD

Before criticizing the judge in this case for apparently performing his job properly,  Brian Fox should recall his own experiences similar to the accused   >>>  Mr. Othman or Mr. Suleiman.  

Brian xyZ. Fox should also be more skeptical of the stories coming from the alleged "victims" of an attack by two guys  ---  who police and prosecutors are now describing as a one-on-one crime, with no other suspects.

The laughable Brian xyZ. Fox goes live

 

Somebody thought that a live stream of Brian xyZ. Fox across social media platforms would be a good idea   ---   What a dunce !!!

All that it all showed was Brian xyZ. Fox cannot speak in anything which resembles English; and he cannot discuss anything in other than gross generalities, often based on factually false premises  ---  does he even know that "syntax" is not an excise levied on immoral behavior, or material occasions of sin 

The way this buffoon  ---  or as we are now calling him  >>>   "Marmaduke the Mamaluke Brian Fox"   ---  is talking, it looks like he thinks that he is the guy to run against "Andy Boy" Gounardes for the state senate in an area that "Marmaduke the Mamaluke Brian Fox" keeps wanting to call "South Brooklyn"

EH !!!  WUDDAYUH  'SPECT FROM SOME MAMALUKE FROM LONG ISLAND  ---  AND JERSEY  ---  AND FLORIDA  ---  AND WHOSE MIDDLE INITIAL IS EITHER "X"  ---  "Y"  ---  OR  "Z"

It's time to cue up Dionne Warwick to sing "Alfie":

"What's it  all  about...   ???" 

Brian Fox just made a hash out of the dispute and lawsuit over a City Charter Amendment that allowed non-citizen voting in New York City

 

Apart form his characteristic fractured syntax, two points that are not made clear by Mr. Fox are:

1)  Why does Fox think that the New York State Constitution prohibits NYC government from altering its City Charter to allow non-citizens to particpate in the selection of members of the NYC government ?  and

2)  How does Brian Fox think that any lawsuit, like the one he says he is supporting, will  "... hold Mayor Eric Adams, Justin Brannan, members of the New York City Council and the New York City Board of Elections accountable when it comes to New York City law extending voting rights to noncitizens in local elections...." in any way ???

Here's Brian Fox's contribution to the "debate" on this very critical issue for the existance of the GOP in NYC:

"Brian Fox for City Council...  [@ 4:00 PM, January 12, 2022]...   Once again Councilman Justin Brannan sold out his constituents by co-sponsoring this unconstitutional law allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. The Constitution of the State of New York is very straightforward, citizenship is a prerequisite to voting, not just in statewide elections but in city elections as well.... I stand with State Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis , the five Republican members of the New York City Council along with other state elected official in their efforts to hold Mayor Eric Adams, Justin Brannan, members of the New York City Council and the New York City Board of Elections accountable when it comes to New York City law extending voting rights to noncitizens in local elections.... Joe Borelli Vickie Paladino for NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov Assemblyman Michael Tannousis.... [ with a screen shot of 'NYC COUNCIL PAGE' wrt '... A local law to amend the New York City Charter...']...."

These few, these very few, pictures are each worth a thousand words --- and the first several words for each picture are --- "We are the Brooklyn GOP, and we are gathered here because..... "

 

The pictures above are all recent postings on the Brooklyn GOP's "Homepage"  ---  and, regardless of the event, not one of them shows fifty people in attendance, in fact, two of the pix show that there are fewer than twenty folks there

[[[  https://www.facebook.com/BklynGOP/ ]]]

Who are these people ?  Why do THEY think that THEY are the Brooklyn GOP ???   >>>   And if THEY are the Brooklyn GOP, is there any hope for any other Brooklyn Republicans, who for a variety of reasons aren't a part of this so-called Brooklyn GOP  ?????

You can tell when "THEY" don't know what THEY are doing, because: 
A) THEY are doing it;  and
B) THEY are proud of it.....

What specific Brooklyn GOP events are depicted in these photographs, and when did they actually occur ?

Look closely at who you  can see in these pix.....   Particularly notice who is in all of the shots, who's in some of them, and who is in none of them.....  Now, that does tell a story that is probably very relevant and interesting for 2022 and going forward.....  (at least inside and immediately around outside this so-called Brooklyn GOP)

N.B.  We've saved the best & most telling picture for last 

The picture above is the very ill-chosen profile/cover photo for the Brooklyn GOP's Meta-Facebook page

[[[  https://www.facebook.com/BklynGOP/ ]]]

Is this pix of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to Staten Island really intended to be a subtle hint that Brooklyn Republicans do need to move there ASAP  ---  or is that another mere accident  ?????

Thanks to the likes of Ted Ghorra & Jerry Kassar, and Liam McCabe & Brian Fox --- conservative minded Republicans and others who are opposed to their continued representation in the NY City Council by Justin Brannan still have to put up with him --- and all his PR puffery and tomfoolery

 

By now, everybody should know that any legitimate Brooklyn GOP candidate like John Quaglione or Bob Capano would have beaten Justin Brannan in 2021  ---  and either of them would be our City Council representative now that it's 2022

Instead, thanks to Ghorra, Kassar and McCabe, and their hand-picked candidate Brian Fox  ---  their campaign of a drumbeat of simplistic lies and deceptions, constantly repeated by and on behalf of Republican-Conservative Candidate Brian Fox allowed Brannan to squeak through & get re-elected, even though there was a "Red Wave" pushing the three GOP candidates in all of Southwest Brooklyn, and it led to the election of only one of them

As a result of all that, we have to keep putting-up-with this kind of stuff from Brannan:

"Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan...  I don't care if you voted for me or not. I don't care if you've lived here since birth or since breakfast. My team and I work for you & your family and we never quit. Need help with something? Just reach out and we'll do the rest. #Bensonhurst #BathBeach #BayRidge #Dyker

Once again >>> Thanks to the likes of Ted Ghorra & Jerry Kassar, and Liam McCabe & Brian Fox <<<

Michael Demartino, a/k/a "Robin The Boy Wonder," re-posted something that somebody else called an "agenda"; so, young Mr. Demartino chose to parrot that "agenda" --- OR --- New horizons in damage to the language

 

An agenda is defined as  ---  a list, a plan, an outline, a program, or the like, of multiple things to be done, matters to be acted upon, or in the setting of a formal meeting, items to be voted upon;  grammatically, it is a noun in it's plural form, meaning that its referant should also be plural  ---  ie., many things, or at very least, more than one thing 

Well, if what Mikey Baby, the Vice Chairman of Brian Fox's latest front group, re- posted contains anything that has even the hint of "agenda" or "an agenda" to it  >>>  then the vapidness with which Brian Fox has filled his life can easily be referred to as "work" and/or "accomplishment" in the Fox-Demartino lexicon

Here's Demartino's latest Meta-Facebook re-post:

"Michael Demartino Jr.  [@4:00 AM, January 9,2022]...  

  

Senator George Borrello...  January 5 at 11:49 AM...  There’s an alternative to the failing one-party rule in Albany that’s destroying New York. Follow the link below to see how I and my Republican colleagues plan to #TakeBackNY. https://www.facebook.com/nysenaterepubs ..."

As Republicans, we are all part of a shinking local and statewide minority  ---  we are rapidly becoming mere faint voices in the wilderness and flickering candles in the wind.  When we do speak, the words, phrases and sentences need to have real and true meanings.  We also need our speech to contain truth, genuine insight, and well-informed understanding.  

Brooklyn Reporter article shows hornets' nest frenzy that Brian Fox and his "staff" set off by getting on one side in something that they know nothing about

 
Setting off the powder keg  >>>   A little over a week ago  ---  Brian Fox led a poorly attended demonstration in the heart of Bay Ridge  ---  in support of two pro-Israel & pro-IDF young men, who had claimed that they were attacked by Bay Ridge folks, in front of a Bay Ridge store, located in one of the larger Arab communities in NYC, Bay Ridge  ---  one activist group described such a demonstration as a "...  'provocation or even terrorism' against the neighborhood’s sizable Palestinian and broader Muslim community...." 

This past weekend, there was a confrontation between competing groups of demonstrators that needed to be heavily policed by a large contingent of the NYPD to keep the groups separated and avoid violence  ---  That demonstration was held in Besonhurst, because it needed to be moved from the original site planned in Bay Ridge  >>>  so as "... not to inflame tensions..."

Even though the past weekend's demonstration in support of the two young men previously supported by Brian Fox was largely organized and sponsored by Fox's ostensible Republican colleague, Inna Vernikov  >>>  Fox was apparently not invited to that event which featured elected officials  ---  and Fox did not attend the pro-Israel, pro-IDF, pro-Zavadsky & Kaganovich demonstration in Bensonhurst

Recent reports in both the Brooklyn Reporter and the Brooklyn Paper clearly show that the issues involved are far more complicated than what Brian Fox had to say about them shortly after >>> and based only on <<<  the first reports  ---  however, Fox and his "staff" decided that their throwing their own "Molotov Cocktail" into this very inflammatory situation was just something that Fox had to do politically  ---  so they did it, whether they were properly informed or not.....

A January 5th article in the Brooklyn Reporter by Jaime Dejesus is the first to substantially cover the other side of the issues raised by Blake Zavadsky and Ilan Kaganovich  ---  the side presented by counter-demonstrators in Bensonhurst to the positions taken by the likes of Brian Fox and his "staff" during their earlier demonstration in front of the Foot Locker store in Bay Ridge.

 

This is what that group of counter-demostrators looked like last Sunday at the clashing demonstrations at and near Bay Parkway and 86th Street in Bensonhurst:

According to this very recent report in the Brooklyn Reporter by Jaime Dejesus:

"....  Rabbi Dovid Feldman of Neturei Karta International, a spokesman for the counter-protest, said his group was outraged by the march and by the usage of the IDF sweatshirt....  'Instead of criticizing this act of provocation against a Palestinian neighborhood, which is deeply pained by the endless oppression of their family members by the Israel Defense Forces, they plan to escalate this provocation and include the wider Jewish community,' Feldman said on Facebook. 'This demonstration will in no way reduce anti-Semitism; it will worsen it.'...  Feldman also said that Palestinians who find the IDF logo offensive are not being anti-Semitic....  'People who denounce this incident and parade the IDF logo would do well to look themselves in the mirror and consider the violence committed by the Israelis during over 70 years of occupation of Palestinian land,' he said...."

 

 

A couple of days ago, another publication, the Brooklyn Paper, in a report by Ben Brachfeld,  had reported that  >>> 

"....  The rally was initially set to take place at the Bay Ridge Foot Locker, but was soon after switched to Bensonhurst. Protesters ended up marching from Bay Parkway along 86th Street to the Bensonhurst Foot Locker, at the intersection with Bay 26th Street....  Vernikov spokesperson Tova Chatzinoff-Rosenfeld said that the protest was moved from Bay Ridge out of respect for the neighborhood’s large Palestinian and Muslim population....  'We didn’t want to inflame tensions,' she said, also noting violent threats Vernikov and the protesters had received on social media, owing largely to the image of people in IDF hoodies, which attendees were encouraged to wear, marching into a Palestinian neighborhood. The IDF is notorious internationally for brutally enforcing Israel’s occupation of Palestine....  Bay Ridge activist group Fight Back Bay Ridge posted on social media that the planned rally amounted to 'provocation or even terrorism' against the neighborhood’s sizable Palestinian and broader Muslim community...."

 

Apparently Brian Fox wasn't properly informed about any of these considerations when he and his "staff" decided that it was better to turn the frying pan of heated debate into a stovetop fire of fanatical frenzy.  Fox is the kind of guy that really doesn't care if the house burns down as long as his portion of food is well cooked in the process (FYI, see Charles Lamb's "A Dissertation Upon Roast Pig")

The Republican and conservative minded people in Southwest Brooklyn owe their deep and heartfelt thanks to the Brooklyn GOP, The Kings County Conservative Party, Liam McCabe. and Brian Fox for this.....

 

.....  Thanks to you guys  >>>  John Quaglione was blocked from having any shot at running a successful campaign for the New York City Council in 2021  ---  and thanks to you guys  >>>  Bob Capano was locked out in what would have been a stronger run than the one by Brian Fox 

We know what the Brooklyn GOP, the Conservatives, Liam McCabe and Brian Fox had in mind from the start  ---  imagine all the problems there would be  >>>  having to deal with two (2) elected GOP Members of the City Council in Brooklyn in 2022 and going foward  ---  let's avoid that at all costs  ---  great, we have McCabe and Fox on it.....

Instead, let's all get to see Tweets like this from Justin Brannan:

"Justin Brannan @JustinBrannan  ...   Today, the new @NYCCouncil  class will officially convene for the first time. As New York City’s legislative body, 51 membeong, we’ll make some history at our Charter Meeting!... This sesh, we welcome 35 new members! The rest of us are old news so don't worry about us ;)... 11:05 AM · Jan 5, 2022"

And this: 

"...  We’ll be the most representative class ever! We are a mirror reflecting our diverse & resilient city. We’ll have immigrants, sons and daughters of immigrants, educators, union workers, and more parents than ever before. Young and old – just like NYC – we’ll have it all.

"...  For the first time ever, we’ll have a majority of members who are women! We’ll also have the first Muslim woman, the first openly LGBTQ Black women, the first South Asian American members, the first Korean women, and the first openly LGBTQ Jewish woman.

"...  And today we’ll come together in this historic moment to elect  [-]CMAdrienneAdams  to lead this august body....  Indeed, Double A will become the first Black woman to be Speaker of the New York City Council.  

"...I am excited to join with all of my colleagues to address the challenges we face. There is so much to do to bring our city back stronger, safer, and cleaner. We are ready to get to work but we need everyone on board. You in? Join us live at 12 noon: https://council.nyc.gov/live...."

So once again  ---  Brooklyn GOP, Kings County Conservative Party, Liam McCabe, and Brian Fox  >>>  Thanks, a lot !!!!!

FOR ALL THAT GOOD STUFF, WHICH YOU DID FOR US IN 2021..... AND FOR MORE OF JUSTIN BRANNAN IN 2022 & THE FUTURE

So, show of hands --- How many of you think that Andrew Cuomo is "DONE" politically ???

 

What about another run for governor in 2022 ?????

What's happening [has happened] to all those "charges" that the AG Tish James had found so credible in her report about the former governor's conduct not so very long ago ???????

We hear that Mr. Cuomo, the one who's not the TV guy, is aching to jump into the main ring and take on all challengers  ---  and settle a few scores while he is at it.....

Albany DA David Soares released a statement earlier today saying that he will not prosecute the misdemeanor criminal complaint against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The forcible touching complaint was originally filed by the Albany County Sheriff’s Office in October 2021.  

According to Soares,  “....  While many have an opinion regarding the allegations against the former Governor, the Albany County DA’s Office is the only one who has a burden to prove the elements of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. While we found the complainant in this case cooperative and credible, after review of all the available evidence we have concluded that we cannot meet our burden at trial....”  However, there is a lot that the Albany DA is not saying that is very important.

First, as it stands, the complaint "mistakenly" filed by the Albany County Sheriff's Office (jurisdictionally strange to begin with) is fatally defective as an accusatory instrument, and would have had to have been dismissed by the courts in due course.

Second, how "cooperative and credible" can the "complainant" be if she doesn't seem to be willing to sign the complainant's affidavit against former Governor Cuomo, which is necessary for the prosecution to continue.

All of this has been known for quite some time by the NYS AG, the Albany County District Attorney's Office, the Albany County Sheriff's Office, and many in the media  ---  especially, those parts of the media that specialize in what's happening in and around the NYS capital.....    And it all has the stink to it of   >>>  a conspiracy and vendetta against former Governor Andrew Cuomo for his political sins over the years.....

Needless to say, Andrew Cuomo is quite pissed-off  ---  and ---  "vendetta" is a word  that he only spells using ALL CAPS - ALL THE TIME.

More accurate description of Inna Vernikov's Sunday show on 86th Street near & at Bay Parkway

 

A Small group led by local politicians rallied at 86th Street and Bay Parkway in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn yesterday after two young men had been allegedly assaulted and called ‘dirty Jews’ for one of them wearing an IDF sweatshirt in front of the Foot Locker store in Bay Ridge last week

At the same time and place as the rally in suport of the alleged victims of the attack  >>>  anti-Israel/ anti-Zionist activists held a counterprotest closeby  ---   with the NYPD on hand to separate the groups and keep the peace

Also playing a role in the street theater were Ilan Kaganovich and Blake Zavadzky, the alleged victims of last week's attack  >>>  shown together in the photo below, one week after they allegedly had been harrassed, and one of them attacked at the Foot Locker in Bay Ridge, at 86th Street near 5th Avenue

____________________

Dozens attended the main protest which included local Jewish figures like NY City Council Members Inna Vernikov and Ari Kagan, former New York State assemblyman Dov Hikind, former world champion boxer Yuri Forman.  

Just like the Chicago PD had originally done in the somewhat similar Jussie Smollet incident, NY City Police detectives are investigating the attack in the Bay Ridge neighborhood that happened last week as a "hate crime";  and. to date, the NYPD has not made any arrests or publically identified any suspect (other than possibly somebody shown in photos and a video released by the NYPD).

Last Sunday, Kaganovich and Zavadsky reached out after the incident to New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, who helped organize this Sunday’s protest at a location that is neither in her district nor near where the alleged anti-semitic attack had occurred.  

At the same time as the protest involving the local politicins, and Zavadsky and Kaganovich  >>>  Pro-Palestinian activists and members of the anti-Zionist ultra-Orthodox Naturei Karta group held a counterprotest across 86th Street. The two sides were divided by a heavy police presence; and NYPD officers had to physically separate individuals from each side in at least two instances. However, there was no instance of violence between the two sides, although several cars drove past waving Palestinian flags and the two sides hurled insults at each other across the street.  The dual protests ended with the two sides walking in parallel down the street, with a convoy of police marching along between them.

Appendix to original piece above, posted here on 1/4/2022:

>>>  Another look at the Sunday demonstration with a later-published photo of the event, showing Ari Kagan speaking, and later additional reporting about the event from the Brooklyn Paper:

That later coverage in the Brooklyn Paper gave the following detailed explantion as to why the demonstration was moved from Bay Ridge to Bensonhurst:

"....  The rally was initially set to take place at the Bay Ridge Foot Locker, but was soon after switched to Bensonhurst. Protesters ended up marching from Bay Parkway along 86th Street to the Bensonhurst Foot Locker, at the intersection with Bay 26th Street....  Vernikov spokesperson Tova Chatzinoff-Rosenfeld said that the protest was moved from Bay Ridge out of respect for the neighborhood’s large Palestinian and Muslim population....  'We didn’t want to inflame tensions,' she said, also noting violent threats Vernikov and the protesters had received on social media, owing largely to the image of people in IDF hoodies, which attendees were encouraged to wear, marching into a Palestinian neighborhood. The IDF is notorious internationally for brutally enforcing Israel’s occupation of Palestine....  Bay Ridge activist group Fight Back Bay Ridge posted on social media that the planned rally amounted to “provocation or even terrorism” against the neighborhood’s sizable Palestinian and broader Muslim community....   'Storming into Bay Ridge, with our large and vibrant Palestinian and Muslim community, wearing IDF hoodies is an act of provocation or even terrorism,' the group said. 'GTFOH.'...  A significant contingent of counter-protesters, many aligned with Neturei Karta, showed up in Bensonhurst: Bay Ridge resident Jay Brown, who watched the rally from the street, estimated that the crowds of protesters and counter-protesters were about the same size, with the counter-protesters possibly numbering slightly higher. The Neturei Karta contingency followed the pro-IDF protesters on the other side of the street, waving Palestinian flags and bellowing chants like 'IDF, shame on you,' 'IDF, terrorists,' and 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.'...”
