>>> HAS EVERYBODY GONE STARK RAVING MAD <<<
Since when do we give anybody “credit” for opening drug treatment facilities on residential streets in Bay Ridge --- like that sort of thing is a good thing ! ! !
According to the Kings County Politics article by Kadia Goba, somehow a troika of Marty Golden, Khader El-Yateem and Larry Morrish facilitated or enabled a “drug treatment expert” named Donna Mae Dipola to open “a substance abuse counseling and treatment center” in the heart of Bay Ridge (See “Substance Abuse Center Head To El-Yateem: Where’s the money?” by Kadia Goba, 6/14/17, Kings County Politics/ 43rd District City Council Race [http://www.kingscountypolitics.com/substance-abuse-center-head-el-yateem-wheres-money/]).
This article really caught my eye, because that drug center is located at 408 77th Street on a block that is near to my heart. That is a block with which I am very
familiar, because my mother owned a house and lived there on and off for many
years before she finally sold the house moved to Florida for good.
Also, I had a family doctor that conducted his practice on the very same block.
THE "KINGS COUNTY POLITICS" ARTICLE SAYS: >>> GIVE THE CREDIT TO MARTY GOLDEN <<<
Kadia Goba’s article on
the subject of the drug center at 408 77th
Street focused on the issue of funding
or the lack of it for Donna Mae Dipola’s drug treatment facility. According to this article and Donna Mae
DiPola, who is quote on the point, all credit for the key funding for this drug
treatment facility should go to State Senator Martin Golden….. Oucha-magoucha ! ! ! MARTY GOLDEN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ? ? ?
WHAT THE HECK HAS HAPPENED TO MY
BAY RIDGE ? ? ?
CREDIT ! A DRUG TREATMENT CENTER IN BAY RIDGE ? ? ? MARTY GOLDEN ? HAS EVERYBODY GONE NUTS ?
Then I thought about it
some more. There seems to be something
wrong with this Kings County Politics article. I think that I
am right identifying the initial political troika as Golden, Morrish and
El-Yateem….. However, according to the Kadia
Goba-Kings County Politic piece,
Reverend Khader El-Yateem is painted as the villain of the piece; and with equal measure, Marty Golden is put on a pedestal as a hero. I’m sorry folks ---
THAT DOG WON’T HUNT ! ! !
WHO BENEFITS ? ? ?
This story stinks to high heaven as a planted piece. Now, who has the juice and the motivation to do that kind of planting job ?
As far as I’m
concerned, Marty Golden and Khader
El-Yateem both come off as villains in this thing…..
Now, who would unequivocally benefit from this
article ?
YOU TELL ME ! ! !
Did John Quaglione know about this dangerous drug treatment facility so close to schools and senior centers? How could he stay silent?
ReplyDeleteWhy, yes I mean you Gale, why, tell me why Sunset Park always get the junkies?
ReplyDeleteTheres a lot of money in that methadone. Marty is fighting to keep them from crossing 65th street.
Gale, Golden will win this with Q..you will be on the outside looking in, as usual

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:05 AM"
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED, YES, BLESSED TO HAVE MOSTLY BEEN ON THE "OUTSIDE LOOKING IN," BECAUSE I DO MORE THAN LOOK.....
This was one of the great bits of political wisdom that I heard over the years. It is from an odd source for me, Lyndon Baines Johnson --- justifying turning his political adversaries into allies and/or getting oppositional journalists onto his side --- "... It's better to have them inside the tent pissing out, than outside the tent pissing in...." The shortcoming of that bit of wisdom, however, is that it never took into account the psychology of the pisser.....
BTW, what is the "this" that "...Golden will win with Q..." ? You don't mean this drug treatment center scandal, do you ? ? ?
UPDATE: THE "BOB CAPANO DISH --- SO MANY RELEASES --- SO LITTLE TIME" EDITION
ReplyDeleteIT LOOKS LIKE BOB IS GOING TO "LIVE OR DIE" WITH HIS TACTIC OF BLITZING HIS CORNER OF THE WORLD WITH MYRIAD PRESS RELEASES
To be fair, BC does seem to be getting a pretty good bang for the buck using this tool and tactic.
Today, Bob is going after Democrat candidate El-Yateem [boy, there does seem to be a lot of that going around lately], because the Reverend El-Yateem, a "radical Palestinian cleric," is also the endorsee of the "leftist organization," the Democratic Socialists of America.
On this point, here's what Bob has to say: ".... In addition to receiving the endorsement of the group, El-Yateem has admitted to being a member of the far left group. On their website, the New York City Democratic Socialists of America go so far as to state, 'We are socialists because we are opposed to an economy organized for private profit.' Can you believe that’s being said right here, in a city that was built on capitalism!"
Donna Mae DePola's very passively named "Resource Training and Counseling Center" is a hydraheaded devouring creature with big tentacles. It is the kind of big government funded intrusions into our communities that Republicans and Conservative must oppose and starve out of existence.
ReplyDeleteMr. Massey keep exposing menaces like this. And keep showing how RINOs like Marty Golden, John Quaglione and Liam McCabe are all tangled up in this particular mess.
Head of the Resource Training and Counseling Center Donna Mae DePola favors the opening of heroin injection centers in Bay Ridge that Bob Capano strongly opposes.
ReplyDeleteBob Capano also strongly opposes living in Brooklyn
ReplyDeleteThis was a Kevin Carroll hatchet job. Donna gave big bucks to Kevin's coffers. I say where there is smoke there is fire.
ReplyDeleteI say the comment above was posted by a heavy set fellow running in democratic primary for city council who cant seem to go for a week without a city paycheck
ReplyDelete12:09 PM i thought Quaglione was running in the Republican primary?
ReplyDeleteIf Justin is going to attack El-Yateem than be up front about it. It's a small town.

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 6:17 PM"
IS IT FOOLISH TO DISCOVER A METASTATIC MASS THAT HAS SPREAD FROM ANOTHER LOCATION AND QUIETLY BEEN GROWING FOR A LONG TIME AT ITS NEW SITE --- MAYBE, CALLING IT A CANCER ON BAY RIDGE IS TOO MUCH --- BUT EVEN A SERIOUS INFECTION OFTEN NEEDS TO BE PROBED AND THEN LANCED TO GET OUT ALL THE PUSS
THIS DRUG CENTER IS A FESTERING BOIL --- IT IS NOW A PART OF THE DRUG PROBLEM IN BAY RIDGE --- IT IS NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION TO THE DRUG PROBLEM IN BAY RIDGE
Kathy Katari is reputed to have "... brought in Donna Mae DePola the founder of the Resource Training & Counseling Center, a drug-treatment program in Sunset Park, to open a satellite office in Bay Ridge...."; maybe Kathy Khatari should get all the "credit" for the drug center, mental health facility now located at 408 77th Street. Whoever described this thing as a hydra-headed and long-tentacled monster sure had it right.
As I have believed for a long, long time, a network of community activists, often praised in the local press and by local politicians, have been setting up a mini-"deep state" right here in Bay Ridge under our noses. The Bay Ridge branch of the Resource Training & Counseling Center is part of their web.
Gailyoufool, after this, the goody goody folks will be out to get yuh.
ReplyDeleteThis local 'deep state' stuff with the volunteers, community leader types & all is BRILLIANT!
I know why you used the term 'part of their web' to describe DePola's scam money machine, I like Sherlock Holmes, and I know that you do too. The center of the web, where Moriarty lives and does his dirty work, is Community Board 10.
Jess Jaekin
So why does Marty get money to keep junkies in Bay Ridge? can his communications director explain this?
ReplyDeleteIf Donovan intervened I'd expect an explanation from mcabe
Donovan does not support neighborhood drug profiteers. Folks do the math. The amount of money Golden gets Depalo is just enough for a few salaries. its busy work.
ReplyDeleteMcCabe folks outside of supermarkets asking anyone to sign his petition.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone say challenge?
Does he have the $$ for a lawyer for an expensive court challenge, Quaglione sure does...McCabe will not even be on ballot
How many times do Q & C have to lose before they go away?
ReplyDeleteQ will out McCabe out of his misery once and for all
ReplyDeleteThis Donna Mae is a real piece of work. She likes calling herself a WORLD CITIZEN and her upbringing seems like something out of a seedy book, which is something she has done about herself.
ReplyDeleteDonna Mae's operation is growing like mushrooms in a damp dark basement, it's already so big it needs many different names and logos.
Not only has Dipola's TRTCC, TRCC and Christopher's Hope Lighthouse spread from Sunset Park, where she is getting community resistance, to Bay Ridge - she is recently moved to Staten Island.
Dipola's scam is on steroids, and it now includes a residential recovery center, a lock down detox facility, multiple training and counselling centers and a full blown PR and products marketing operation.
And poof it looks like Donna Mae Dipola is now putting her hand in as a political kingmaker and breaker with this slam at one of her strong supporters Yader El Yateem.
And Donna Mae is a buddy of McCabe..remember their joint op ed..
ReplyDeleteI guess McCabe supports these drug facilities in Bay Ridge also..
Anything you say Bob
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE & BACKFILL: THE "THIS IS BIGGER THAN THE BOTH OF US" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:12 AM" AND OTHERS
THIS WHOLE DONNA MAE DE POLA, TRTCC OR TRCC [AND/OR OTHER NAMES AND STYLES] THING IS A MUCH BIGGER DEAL THAN EITHER I OR ANY OTHER COMMENTERS ON THIS THREAD HAVE MADE PUBLIC SO FAR.....
>>> As was said in the original "Jaws": "We're gonna need a bigger boat...." <<<
Donna Mae DePola is not just a substance abuse professional, she's a real big fish in the world of 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profits --- her integrated enterprise(s) is/are not just located Sunset Park, Bay Ridge and Staten Island --- they are also in Manhattan, Queens and Buffalo, NY.....
Her varied operations have received multiple grants through multiple politicians [mostly Democrat] with "support" from all around Brooklyn, NYC and elsewhere in NY State. I'm sure when Donna Mae DePola gives Marty Golden all the credit --- it's coming from the NYS taxpayers, in one way or another.
Her program's "training" courses also deal with variety of sexual orientation and transgender issues.....
Did Liam get thrown out of the COnservative Party? He sure don't look like a 'conservative' to me.
ReplyDeleteLiam is toast when Q throws out his petitions and Alexandras witness signatures whose w9 will show her residence is not whats on the petitions
ReplyDeleteSo Gail, who is the expert on election petitions' challenges that is exercising his pie hole on your blog?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it GALE? Gale, tell everybody if Liam thinks that 501(c)(3) Not for Profit companies can't make a profit, but they can pay lots of good people lots of good money for the good work that they do for the good of their communities, and all the good that they can do for their good friends here and there, and all the good that they can spread out to their good neighbors.
ReplyDeleteBecause none of this is about any of the profits that could be made, but all of the good money that some people can spread around to all the good people that need and deserve it.
Not just Donna Mae's group, ANY 501(c)(3) company.
Can someone explain the reason why Quaglione and Capano are running when they both lost by double digits in the past?
ReplyDeleteBay Ridge has not become more Republican.
how can justin and kevin carroll claim to be progressives when they have a deal with golden not to let a democrat run against him?

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:59 AM"
NOW, THIS IS THE RAW AND UNVARNISHED TRUTH IN ANSWER TO ALL YOUR POINTS
"[W]hy Quaglione and Capano are running when they both lost by double digits in the past... [and] Bay Ridge has not become more Republican" is that >>> THEY CAN.....
btw, you must NOT BE A REPUBLICAN, because, for some reason, Republicans can't see that their numbers are dwindling in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, just like the rest of the city; or if they CAN SEE IT, they are not able to put it into words that communicate the observation(s) or any thoughtful insights about it/them.
To 11:29 I'll tell you what Gale won't.
ReplyDeleteJustin and Carroll and Gentile and Seddio and Vito Lopez and all the insiders can be bought with a 27k a year job as a scheduler for a hack city councilman. You give these lowlifes way to much credit. Of course they could all be making ten times the salary if they became Port Authority cops but this way they feel important.
El Yateem is the only true progressive who will wipe the floor with these hacks.
ReplyDeleteGail is this a GOP blog?
ReplyDeleteThe reason I ask is you seem to neglect the left wing infiltration from El Yateem along with other questionable people.
Gailarama, Who do you think is more caught in the flypaper of the Donna Mae Depola's drug treatment programs, Quaglione, McCabe or Capano?
ReplyDeleteTell the truth and shame the devil.
to 4:56 it was Golden who rushed in with money to keep Depolo. Get it?
ReplyDeleteQuaglione works for Golden. Get it?
Depolo and her junkies would be gone if it wasnt for Golden. Get it?
It must be great to know it all. Got it?
ReplyDeleteGaily Stormy Baby, let's start by looking at this drug center thing as a Donna Mae-Kathy Khatiri deal with Golden. Hasn't KK also make a lot of Republican-Conservative sounding noises over the years, plus with the 5th Avenue Merchants and Larry Morrish in the wings how far away could Marty be? Doesn't that pretty much lock in "Q"- I think it does, right?
ReplyDeleteThen you have the dual December OP ED in the HR with Donna Mae and Liam. Using that OP ED as a starting point sets up a very interesting time line for Liam's Campaign. Liam Ambrose definitely says that Donna Mae and her Resource Training Center was the key to Liam's personal turn around, and that happened right before he announced his run for City Counsel. If you read Liam's half of the OP ED, he clearly said his new path in life '... started with a phone call to Donna Mae DePola." Do you think that maybe Liam is Donna Mae's 'Manchurian Candidate' in the Bay Ridge council race - programmed in and by her Resource Training Center.
Capano looks like 'The Cheese stands alone' not involved in any of this drug treatment center stuff, but don't buy into that. With two local races under his belt in 2012 and 2013, together with his contacts through the 68th Pct., Community Board 10, and the BID & Avenue merchants' groups, how did he miss Donna Mae's and Kathy Khatiri's big plan for a drug program in the middle of rsidential Bay Ridge?
10:40 need a program
ReplyDeletebringing this drug center into Bay Ridge with all the junkies and skells it means somebody can bring down all the Republicans including Marty once and for all if there is any Democrat that can be found who can use it
ReplyDeleteWhat's it all about, Marty?
ReplyDeleteTo 7:57 I wouldnt worry about anyone bringing down the republican party in brooklyn. Trump already did that.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump is hailed by people all across America - MAGA!
ReplyDeleteTrump is not hailed by anyone in Brooklyn. That includes Bay Ridge.

YOU ARE ONE VERY MIXED COMMENTER --- FIRST, BOB CAPANO'S NEIGHBORS LIVE IN BAY RIDGE --- NEXT, LOTS OF BROOKYNITES, ESPECIALLY IN BAY RIDGE, VOTED FOR TRUMP, LOVE HAVING TRUMP AS PRESIDENT AND SUPPORT HIS PRESIDENCY DOWN THE LINE
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY COMES IN SEPTEMBER, WAY AHEAD OF THE GENERAL ELECTION --- AND AMONG GOP TYPES TRUMP IS KING
IF BOB CAPANO WINS AMONG THE TRUMP VOTERS VOTING IN THE GOP PRIMARY IN 2017 --- BOB BECOMES THE GOP NOMINEE IN 2017 --- AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE GENERAL ELECTION IN 2017, YOU GOTTA BE IN IT TO WIN IT
If John QUALUDES and Liam MACCABBEE have a different plan vis a vis Trump and Trump voters, they'll lose the Republucan primary, plain and simple.....
Gaily you faily! It's methqualone or quaaludes NOT qualudes. But if your describing Q and giving him a new name then it should be QWAAAAAYYYYLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDZZZZZZ...
ReplyDeleteLiam delvering his trash to Gracey Mansion and then being told to take the trash back with him where it came from may be the point where the Mc Cabe campaign jumped the shark
ReplyDeleteIf McCabe wamted to make news he should have left it there..when the Mayors office does NOT meet with the residents McCabe will have some explaining to do on his failed PR stunt
ReplyDeleteMcCabe was crazy going on network news to show he was fighting for the people of Bar Ridgeville.
ReplyDeleteCapano is playing it safe in totenville
Since when is getting earned media a bad thing. To my knowledge, no other 43rd CD candidate has appeared on cable news once yet.
ReplyDeleteVery Soon John Q will show McCabe how to do a real press event.
ReplyDeleteThe McCabe event was not cable news. It was network news.
ReplyDeleteIt was local news
ReplyDeleteI want to know what Mc Cabe did with the garbage because he wasn't allowed to leave it outside the mayor's house. I hope he left it on Capano's doorstep in Staten Island. Very Soon John Q will show Mc Cabe, Capano and the Green Party candidate how to do a real press event.
