Marty Golden's mental and political slippage is showing with his big lies and endorsement of the staunch POLICE DEFUNDER Ari Kagan

 
Everybody knows Marty Golden  ---  or thinks that they know him.....


What they don't know is that he is slipping fast in to that twi-light where we keep seeing President Biden  going.  ---  With Golden it showed up recently (not like Biden on a trip to Ireland talking to a kid about "success" and "not getting COVID"  --- but) at an Irish event in Bay Ridge and a photo-op with Ari Kagan.....


As we have reported here on this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island, Marty was tricked into doing the picture with Ari Kagan  ---  after several Brooklyn GOP executive members had warned him not to do it  ---  but by hook and/or crook, John Seravelli and John Quaglione convinced Marty to do it.....   


That's understandable, the two John's had been tricking Marty into doing stuff for years while they were on his staff  ---  and now it's easier, because Marty isn't as sharp now as he was then (Wink, wink, nod !!!).....
















But Marty Golden's real political slippage was shown a little while later when John Seravalli leveraged the photo-op into an endorsement by Golden  ---  and an outright lie by Golden  >>>  about Kagan and his support or non-support of the NYPD <<<


Here is Marty Golden's actual BIG LIE for Kagan:



The facts are that Ari Kagan is anything and everything but that  ---  so what the picture above fairly depicts is two big fat liars, Marty Golden and Ari Kagan



The facts about Ari Kagan being an NYPD defunder are neither new nor secret, we at this independent GOP blog for Brooklynand Staten Island wrote about it in February  ---  when we said this:

....  One has to wonder how Republicans like Mark Szuskiewicz and Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny and other key 46th AD and 47th Council District Republicans will be able to back Ari Kagan's run for the City Council in 2023 when they pounded Kagan so hard on issues like >>> defunding the police <<<  just two short years ago during Kagan's first run for the 47th AD Council seat as the Democrat nominee....  But we suppose that is no stranger than the complete volte-face of the biggest grifters at the top of the Brooklyn GOP right now, Liam McCabe and Brian Fox.  In 2021, they were saying that Justin Brannan's support of the 2021 NYC budget, with some decreased funding for the NYPD,  was disqualifying for Brannan's continuing on the NYC Council, but now in 2023 it isn't disqualifying for their man Ari Kagan, who probably had a bigger hand in crafting those portions of the 2021 budget that actually "defunded" big parts of the NYPD 2021 budget  ---  and who, both as a candidate in 2021 and a top Treyger staffer during the 2021 budget process  ---  openly supported Mark Treyger's work on that budget, the diversion of NYPD funds to the Board of Ed.,  and his Council vote for the 2021 budget in 2020....  As a reminder to some Republicans who might not have been watching Kagan during his  2021 campaign for the City Council in the 47th Council District  ---  a "REPUBLICAN" made this statement at the time  >>>  "...  thoughts on 'Brook-Krasny Asks Ari Kagan To Stop Lying'...   Anyone who is endorsed by Mark Treyger is not worth saying good morning to. Mr. Treyger voted to defund the New York City Police of one billion dollars then had the gall to post his smiling face on Facebook showing how delighted he was in his stupidity....  I am a registered Republican... my vote goes to Alex Brook-Krasny...." 



So the next time you see Marty, be sure to tell him to shove his lies and endorsement of Ari Kagan up his ass, which is now probably as spastic and elastic as his fast-faltering brain

  1. HEARD IN OUR CHAT ROOM: THE "WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO MISS IT" EDITION

    SEE --- EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT ARI'S "DEFUND-THE-POLICE" PAST


    These items were posted on a prior comments thread:

    "Ari was the 'defund the Police' GURU....how could Ghorra give him the Line? A total disgrace....";

    "Ari was the 'defund the Police' GURU....how could Brian Fox be backing him? A total disgrace...."; and

    "Ari was the 'defund the Police' GURU....how could John Quaglione be backing him? A total disgrace...."

    The only problem is the list (could it possibly have been compiled by Craig Eaton ???) of self-serving, hypocritical scum bags is not complete unless you add in the likes of Marty Golden, Jerry Kassar, Liam McCabe and John Seravalli.

    We here at this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island are pretty sure that Craig Eaton would agree that this crew will lie and stab real Brooklyn Republicans in the back at the drop of a hat to keep their little fingers on some phony power over what's left of Republicans and Conservatives in Brooklyn, and to keep their piece of the short end money still coming from from the Democrats really running the show and calling their tunes for these guys to play.

    RESPONSE: THE "I DON'T KNOW, BUT I BEEN TOLD....." EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 8:51 PM"

    HERE IS WHAT HAS BEEN REPORTED ABOUT WHY MIKE RAGUSA WITHDREW --- IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT INVOLVED FRAUDULENTLY SUBMITTED FORGED SIGNATURES --- IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE THE RAGUSA CAMPAIGN GOT SCAMMED BY AN INTENTIONAL DROP OF THE FORGED SIGNATURES ON RAGUSA AND HIS CAMPAIGN OPERATORS --- RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS SCAM INCLUDES BRAIN FOX, THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH TOO SOON --- AND THE "MYSTERY MAN" FROM ANOTHER CAMPAIGN NAMED "MAGUIRE"

    Mike Ragusa said, "Recent serious allegations have been made against me, which were quite shocking to our team as well, and have created an insurmountable barrier to continuing my campaign....Unfortunately I put my trust in a volunteer who took advantage and tried to sabotage my campaign....” According to a report in the Brooklyn Paper, "....According to Ragusa, he found out about the accusations on April 14 and believes the incident was a set up designed to damage his campaign. He said one of his volunteers turned in a page of forged signatures that were later turned into the Board of Elections...." And the Brooklyn Paper reporter quotd Ragusa as follows: "... Upon looking into it, we’ve narrowed down who got these signatures and it was a person sent from another Republican campaign.... When I picked it up from him, the signatures were there. They forged everything but I wasn’t responsible for checking the signatures. That’s what I pay people for....”

    And Brian Fox has said, "Based on the allegations of felonious fraud committed by the campaign of Mike Ragusa, he has accepted an offer to end his campaign. Reliable sources have confirmed he has agreed to withdraw and signed documents that will officially remove his name from the ballot..."

    Other reporting also indicated that there were forged signatures witnessed by a member of the Mike Ragusa team named Dino Diakoumakos that might have been gathered by somebody named "Maguire" --- and that somebody named "Maguire" is also likely to have been the "mystery man" that came over to the Ragusa campaign from another campaign.

    So now you are up to speed.....

  5. Vito "I hate fucking Brooklyn" Labella is back in daily news today and so is that 18 minute video. But Ted did make all the right moves last year defeating two lifers and making Nicole Congresswoman for life so I guess results matter.

    ReplyDelete
  6. 931, Ted Ghorra didn't do any of that good stuff. But now is now, and thank's to Ghorra the Daily News is saying, “The decision by the Brooklyn GOP to select Vito LaBella, a MAGA Republican, in a backroom deal to run a campaign based on fear and demagoguery is egregious.... This decision appears selfish and wholly opportunistic, and it should be seen as an insult to the Asian-Americans who form the majority in this district, for whom this district was created.” The News even let Councilman Brannan pile on with this quote: "Imagine they draw a new Council district in Brooklyn to empower the Asian community to elect one of their own. Then imagine being a guy who proudly hates Brooklyn, lives in Cape Cod, and thinks HE is the person the Asian community needs right now!”

    What should be clear to Brooklyn Republicans now is that Ghorra's Brooklyn GOP is absolutely only a bunch of guys with painted faces, big red noses and floppy shoes packed into a tiny clown car that keeps running into stuff so everybody has to get out and squirt each other with seltzer bottles.

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:57 AM"

    NICE TRY, YOU FLACCID FLACK FOR ARI KAGAN --- BUT --- "RAGU" IS NOT "YESTERDAYS [SIC] FAKE NEWS" AT ALL.....

    The Ragusa CAMPAIGN might be yesterday's news, but we here at this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island intend to keep digging to find out all of the details of the fraudulent scheme that was run against Ragusa.

    Ther was a conspiracy and scheme, with several provable overt acts in clear violation of the NYS Election Law and the NYS Criminal Law, to subvert the election process in the 43rd Council District in 2023.

    We on this blog believe that conspiracy and scheme involved Brian Fox, Liam McCabe, Paul Maguire, Dino Diak0umakos, John Seravalli and others >>> solely to benefit Ari Kagan and the Kagan campaign for City Council in the 47th District.

    Stay tuned, we are working on a new lead, and new sources.....

    "... AT 1:36 PM" --- OTHER THAN YOU, WHOEVER YOU MIGHT BE, NOBODY WITH KNOWLEDGE HAS SAID THAT "... DINO FORGED THOSE SIGS" --- AND WE HERE AT THIS INDEPENDENFENT GOP BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND DOUBT THAT YOU ARE A PERSON WITH ANY REAL KNOWLEDGE AT ALL AND/OR THE INTEGRITY TO ACCURATELY REPORT WHAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY KNOW BY ACCIDENT FROM JUST STANDING AROUND WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT TURN AT THE FEEDING TROUGH --- IN OTHER WORDS, YOU ARE VERY LIKELY TO BE BRIAN FOX

    "... AT 2:35 PM" --- WE HERE AT THIS INDEPENDENT BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND LOVE COMMENTS LIKE YOURS >>> THEY GIVE US A CHANCE TO AFFIRMATIVELY RESPOND WITH NEW STUFF RIGHT AWAY..... THIS TIME, IT'S MORE DETAIL CONCERNING WHAT YOU QUOTED AS FOLLOWS: "... A NEW LEAD, AND NEW SOURCES..."

    Our new lead is this >>> it seems that somebody named "Maguire" probably is Paul Maguire. And that very same Paul Maguire talked to somebody not involved in the anti-Ragusa phony signatures conspiracy about details of his getting involved with Ragusa's petitioning after being bumped from the Avery Periere campaign. As a result of speaking to our first source of information about somebody called "Maguire" --- we will be sitting down with a very connected and well-informed GOP source who seems to have many more details about how it all went down. As we have said before, stay tuned.....

    As for the person that we said was most likely Brian Fox; if you aren't Brian Fox, count yourself lucky. Just because Fox might not have had lots of actual knowledge doesn't mean that he wasn't instrumental in the furtherance of the conspiracy with his own independent overt acts before, during and/or after the fact.

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 5:56 PM"; "... AT 8:34 PM" & "... AT 10:07 PM"

    AS WE SAY IN BROOKLYN --- "IRREGARDLESS" OF WHETHER ANNA BELFIORE-DELFAUS IS CURRENTLY FROM STATEN ISLAND OR BROOKLYN --- ACCORDING TO THE GREAT BROOKLYN GOP VICE CHAIRMAN AND SAGE RONALD D'ANGELO IN "OUR END" OF BROOKLYN THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS DEMOGRAPHICS

    IN THE NEWLY DRAWN 47TH COUNCIL DISTRICT --- AS BETWEEN ARI KAGAN AND ANNA BELFIORE-DELFAUS --- ANNA BELFIORE-DELFAUS HAS A SIGNIFICANT DEMOGRAPHIC ADVANTAGE --- ESPECIALLY IN A GOP PRIMARY

    Avery Pereire's impact, if he remains in the race, will probably be minimal, and possibly be a little advantage for Kagan. However, taking Ragusa off the GOP primary ballot, and leaving Anna on the ballot and in the race, might turn out to have been a massive strategic blunder WRT ethnic Italian voting in the 2023 late June GOP primary in the 47th Council District.....

  20. UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "CURRENT STATE OF VITO LA BELLA" EDITION

    WHETHER VITO IS PHYSICALLY AT HIS HOME ON CAPE COD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSSETTS OR SOMEPLACE ELSE DOESN'T MATTER THAT MUCH TO TED GHORRA AND THE LEADERSHIP RUNNING THE BROOKLYN GOP

    POLITICALLY --- VITO LA BELLA TRIED DOING HIS BEST AT THE "CLEAN UP ON AISLE THREE" CAUSED BY HIS SELECTION BY THE BROOKLYN GOP TO RUN AS THE CANDIDATE FOR CITY COUNCIL IN THE 43RD COUNCIL DISTRICT --- WHICH IS THE SECOND ELECTION WITHIN A YEAR THAT LA BELLA HAS RUN IN A DISTRICT WHERE HE DOES NOT LIVE OR HAVE ANY LEGAL CONNECTION WHATSOEVER AGAINST ASIAN CANDIDATES RIGHTFULLY SEEKING TO REPRESENT THEIR ASIAN COMMUNITY WITH WHICH THEY DO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL CONNECTIONS

    NEEDLESS TO SAY, WHEN GHORRA'S SELECTION OF LA BELLA AS THE GOP ENDORXED CANDIDATE FOR THE NYC IN THE 43RD DISTRICT COUNCIL WAS PROPERLY HAMMERED BY THE NY DAILY NEWS >>> NEITHER GHORRA NOR LA BELLA LIKED THE LASHING THAT THEY GOT --- AS FAR A WE KNOW, LA BELLA WAS THE ONLY PERSON STUPID ENOUGH TO TRY TO RESPOND, WHICH HE DID IN THE MATERIAL QUOTED BELOW.....

    FOR THOSE EXPECTING VITO TO THROW GASOLINE ON THE FIRE --- HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT.....


    Vito's statemnt posted on Facebook:
    "Vito LaBella... Wednesday, April, 19, 2023 at 6:36 PM... The hyper partison NY Daily News strikes again. I am proud to announce that I was asked by AM Lester Chang to step up and run for City Council in the 43rd District. This is the community that I have been fighting for since I retired from the NYPD in 2017..... Fun fact: the picture the NY Daily News used was pulled from the video when it all started. It was taken in 2018, when I first stood up for Asian kids at IS187 when the DOE wanted discriminate against them in the Specialized High School Admission's Process. I promise to keep up the fight for everybody in District 43...."

    Although this would not seem inflammatory, here is why it is incendiary --- rather than address any of the rightful criticisms of his latest campaign that appeared in the Daily News article >>> Vito La Bella chose to highlight that he was asked to run in a sell-out move by somebody widely known to have no bonafide connections to the Asian Community in the 43rd Council District, the illegally nominated and elected Assemblyman Lester Chang.

    What Vito LaBella did not do was speak to the Daily News when they tried to reach him in advance of the article; nor did he address the Daily News reported facts: that he is running against a field of candidtates, Republican and Democrat, who are all Asian; that he was selected by Republican leaders and electeda most of whom were neither part of the 43rd Counsil District nor Asian; and that several Asian 43rd Council District community leaders, including prominent Asian Republicans, had specifically asked LaBella and Ghorra to withdraw LaBella's name as the substitute candidate.

    Clearly, the Vito LaBella reunning in 2023 is the same racially divisive guy as ran in 2022

  21. If lester chang was illegally nominated and elected than how is he in the state assembly?

    ReplyDelete
  22. 1254, shit happens!

    When it comes to Lester Chang, he's in Albany illegally because the Democrats' leaders chose to let him stay put (who knows what terms and conditions are for him to stay at their sufferance).

    If the Democrat Leader of the Assembly had any integrity and followed the law, he would have put it to a vote to throw Chang's unqualified ass out of that body based on the official report that said Chang was elected illegally under the NYS Constitution.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Meanwhile Democrats like State Senator Andrew Gounardes are doing cartwheels over the Brooklyn GOP's efforts to stop Re[ublican Ying Ying Tan from being the Asian Republican Candidate in the 43rd Council District.

    Gounardes has pretty much said that for all the cheap and phony talk from the Brooklyn GOP about supporting and empowering the Asian-American community in Brooklyn; the selection of Vito LaBella by Ghorra and other Brooklyn GOP leaders is nothing more than an opportunistic attempt to silence Asian Republican voters and prevent them from electing a candidate of their own.

  24. shit does happen to peter abbate. thats why chang is in the legislature and abbate is eating cold spaghetti

    ReplyDelete
  25. 458, why are you talking about Peter Abbate? He didn't make Lester Chang break the law three or four different ways; and then somehow get away with it.

    Pete Abbate's nine lives just finally ran out. After all, how much did Abbate think the oldtime "New Era Democrats" magic from the days of George Allwon and Art Paione and the youngsters like Matt D'Emic, Joe Bova, some unrelated guys named Harrison. and somebody named Ray Mollica; and the guitar-playing leftist-Catholic Cursillo connections all over Brooklyn would go. It stopped being the late-60s even in Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach and Bensonhurst by the time George H.W. Bush gave way to Clinton, or certainly by the time George W. Bush gave way to Obama.

    In the end, too many people of a different sort altogether noticed that Peter Abbate had too much power for an old white guy, and he made too many deals with other old white guys, even if they all could pretend to sing Kumbaya together like it was the 60s.

  28. Stop wasting time... Why isn't anybody looking into Ari Kagan (the same person as Arkady Kagan the professionally trained military-security operative in Belarus and other places in the FSU, like "The Ukraine" and Latvia) and his possible work as a wolf in sheep's clothing FSU emigre operative for the FSU Security.Intelligence services (successors to the KGB-GRU-NKVD, etc) in and among the emigre community in Brooklyn and the rest of NYC. Kagan's educational background at the Soviet state run Leningrad Suvorov School and later at the Lvov Military Political College fit a profile of under cover Soviet operatives coming into the USA late in the 20th Century under the guise of political refugees that surged into America at that time. A "journalist" cover for such operatives is also another tell that applies to and has been used by Ari Kagan, both during his former government service in Latvia for Soviet military intelligence; and again since his emigrating to Brooklyn.

    Very telling is Ari Kagan's own admission during an interview that he was a longtime member of the Communist Party as it then existed in the Soviet Union and "I was not a dissident..." until "... I gradually became disillusioned with the Soviet-Communist ideology....". However, none of Ari Kagan's disillusionment happened until after the fall of the old hardline regime in the Communist Soviet Union; and there is no evidence that he was ever a dissident at any time during the Soviet regime, as a Soviet government paid journalist or otherwise.

    Back to the lead about Anna >>> here's the title: "NYC Council candidate’s claims of working as a teacher and living in Brooklyn in doubt: Daily News investigation"; and here's the author: Chris Sommerfeldt; and it was posted about an hour ago..... According to the report in the NY News posted online a little while ago --- "A City Council candidate in southern Brooklyn has made her teaching career a cornerstone of her political identity.... On the campaign trail this year, the Republican Council hopeful, Anna Belfiore-Delfaus, has repeatedly described herself as a city public school teacher and spoken to the plight of working in classrooms during the pandemic. In a Feb. 6 tweet, she even claimed she for a time “couldn’t go back to work” because of her refusal to comply with the Education Department’s since-rescinded coronavirus vaccine mandate...."

    It really doesn't get any better for her in the rest of the News article that will appear in tomorrow's print editions.

    Ari Kagan can always be counted upon to say something snarky; and he certainly didn't disappoint this time about Anna --- "“Anyone who runs for political office should expect the public to know the truth about their work. ... I don’t understand why anybody, including Anna, would hide their place of work.... I don’t understand why anyone would do this; the truth always comes out.”

    Talk about KARMA !!! Talk about hypocricy !!!!! It's all coming for Ari in spades >>> we checked on this comment posted above on this thread from 11:30 this morning --- and it looks like it has some real substance to it: "Anonymous said...
