Yesterday --- we had a chance to talk.....

 
...  with the Brooklyn GOP's last real County Chairman and Leader Craig Eaton  


...  as a result of our conversation with Eaton, and my observtions of what was going on simultaneously, we reached some conclusions that we will share with the followers of this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn & Staten Island 


...   first:  by default, Eaton is the only remaining Republican who speaks with real authority to Republican Party activists in Brooklyn, and GOP leaders around NYC, and around NYS  ---  most notably those associated with the Catsimatidis brand  ---  but others as well

...  second:  Ted Ghorra has not stepped-up to become a real leader of the Brooklyn GOP since the job was handed to him in 2015 by a Democrat judge in an ersatz proceeding, and a fast-fading GOP and NYSCP backed State Senator named Mary Golden [defeated in 2018, in what now seems early in the Ghorra regime]  ---  and very little has changed since Eaton's 2019 public rebuke of Ghorra  ---  and for those that don't remember, it went something like this: 

"....  Ted Ghorra, who was hand-picked to lead the party without even being a member of the county committee and having no prior political experience, had two years to prove his ability to lead the party. The result of his leadership was the devastating loss of two long-time Republican elected officials — Rep. Dan Donovan and state Sen. Marty Golden. It is clearly time for him to go. We need a seasoned political operative who has the knowledge, experience, time, and relationships to bring the Brooklyn GOP back to where it was a few years ago.” (Craig Eaton quoted by Bob Capano in 2019 article in the Brooklyn Paper)


...  third:  Eaton thinks that  "....  Ari Kagan is no kind of Republican, and Ghorra, Kassar and Fran selling-out to him shows what (expletives) they are....";  and


... fourth:  "... at least Justin Brannan is a neighborhood guy who knows Bay Ridge, from Shore Road up through Dyker Heights, and the Towers out to Fort Hamilton  ---  he even went to Xaverian like Kassar..."



Now, even though we saw Eaton having some friendly words with the Bay Ridge's home grown Member of the City Council yesterday, the conversation was short; and it probably was only plesantries  (we weren't privy to it).....  We really don't know what they said, and Joe Bova was too nearby to them for anything really conspiratorial to be happening between Brannan and Eaton.

Later on, when Eaton had some lengthy chin-wag time with us, he said important people around the city and state have asked him to get back in charge of the Brooklyn GOP,  but that he told them he would rather keep outside the current mess of a tent that is the Brooklyn Republicn Party and its politics, and instead act as the former GOP Kings County Chairman "Emeritus".....   However, he also said the he had good information that there are a couple of people in the local Republican apparatus who say they want to take on Ghorra ASAP;  and that maybe Ghorra's backing of Kagan might give them the leverage they need with others in the Brooklyn GOP completely opposed to giving Kagan any kind of GOP endorsement.

In spite of all that,  don't look for any support for "Republicans for Brannan"  (yes, you heard it here first) from Eaton anytime soon (he wouldn't risk the power and prestige of his "GOP County Leader 'Emeritus' " status).....  But the other pretenders to Ghorra's throne might be big enough swashbucklers to do something a little crazy like that to highlight how out of control the Brooklyn GOP has become under Ghorra's "leadership".....

  1. Eaton is smart and shrewd. He knows where the power is. Cats keeps Eaton close and so does Boss Brannan. These guys are all playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.

  2. Our next Republican State Senator to be elected in Brooklyn wlll be Staen Island Joe Tirone. And as between Ghorra and Eaton, Tirone knows and trusts Craig Eaton 100-to-1 over Ghorra.

    Tirone also knows the stuff that Ari Kagan pulled against him in the very close 2022 race against Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, and that even as a nominal 'Republican' candidate for City Council, Kagan is campaigning all over Brooklyn part of her stae senate district with the new Democrat State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton.

  5. 625, if you're thinking with a grifter's mind making it all about the short-end checks, that's what you will always be; and you will never know what it is to have anybody stand up beside you on a fight for something real, or get behind you to back YOUR play for something of big and lasting value. Instead, you'll always be in whatever it might be to take them dives for the short-end money as part of somebody else's big play on the other side.

    Kind of reminds me of when Cats backed Marty Golden when everone and their mother knew Eaton despised hlm

  12. 1232, fake news, Avery hasn't announced what his plans are for the future; so how could Eaton be backing him again, That is unless you a reading minds and tea leaves again.

    ... and, 1238, if you think that Eaton, the big Cat and his little Cats aren't very close, and have been that way for a very long time; then you know very little about Eaton and even less about Catsimatidis. As for Avery's non-appearance on ABC, as that ABC character "Tattoo" might say excitedly, "The plan! The plan!"

  18. UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "THINGS TO COME" EDITION

    SINCE WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF MAKING AN ALLIANCE WITH WHOMEVER THE PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND PUT FORWARD TO RUN "REPUBLICANS FOR JUSTIN BRANNAN" >>> LET'S PUT IN OUR TWO CENTS THAT ARI KAGAN HAS NEVER ADEQUATELY EXPLAINED HIS ADMITTED HISTORY OF WORKING FOR THE SECURITY FORCES OF THE SOVIET UNION AND BELATEDLY TURNING ON HIS COMMUNISTS MASTERS --- AND WHEN NEW TO AMERICA, HOW HE RATHER QUICKLY SET UP A VARIETY OF MEDIA OUTLETS AND ACCESSABILITY SITES --- AND HOW LATELY ONE OF THOSE ARI KAGAN SITES HAS TURNED UP DOING SOME VERY ODD STUFF --- INDEED IT DID !!!!!


    Just a little while back, if you were looking for Ari Kagan at AriKagan.com, you would have been in for a big surprise in the form of pix of sex acts and links to videoporn.

    You see, the URL that had been used for one of Kagan’s personal websites allegedly had been taken over by an allegedly trolling foreign language operation that linked to porn and ads for livestreams of chess matches (an ethnically and socially interesting combination**). A data base that saves webpages, suggests that the URL for AriKagan.com had been used as a porn site for the two years after Ari says that he had shut it down, from May 2021 through May 12, 2023, when the domain "expired"..... Even though it’s now a nonfunctioning internet link, from 2012 to 2019 (and why was it still functioning during the two years from 2021 through 2023), it was Kagan’s personal website linking to his "work" as both a journalist, and as a political activist --- in both capacities acting as an influencer
    mostly in the FSU emigre community.

    When publically confronted about it, Kagan immediately referred to the anonymous sources that had made the KGB charges against him. In other words, Kagan himself seemed to have "linked" the issues related to his problematic KGB-style past and the very recent dislosure of the use of his website for the somewhat arcane and odd mix of porn and chess.

    __________________

    ** The fact that the former Kagan site linked both to features involving porn images and competitive chess matches is both ethnically and socially significant --- but even more so when one considers that the KGB and other Soviet security agencies used both pornography and competitve chess as tools to entice, recruit, entrap and compromise all sorts of people in all sorts of circumstances.

  23. Ari got 70% in a GOP primary. Nuff said.

    ReplyDelete
  24. No 10:12 Councilman Kagan received 72.4% of the votes cast. The most succesful GOP Chairperson in new york history is Ghorra.

    FACT FACT FACT

    ReplyDelete
  25. 1012, you aren't within a country mile of of getting to say, "... Nuff said..." about Kagan's paltry GOP primary numbers against very weak opposition in his 2023 GOP primary against the neophyte GOP primary candidates Pereira and Belfiore-Delfaus. What the Kagan 2023 primary numbers really say is that Kagan will most likely lose quite badly in this November's general election against Justin Brannan.

    You must have missed the part where I told everybody that the numbers really don't add up that well for an Ari Kagan win this November based both upon his own past racing form results in his Democrat races for City Council, and the significance of the fall-off of GOP primary voters voting for Kagan in 2023 compared to the winning numbers for the top GOP candidate in 2017, John Quaglione. More important than that was the much larger fall-off of GOP primary voters for the whole field of candidates in the 2023 GOP primary race compared to the vote for the whole field of GOP candidates in 2017.

    In 2017 there were a total of 3967 GOP Primary voters who cast votes; and in the recent 2023 GOP primary there were only 2104 votes for Kagan, Pereira and Belfiore-Delfaus combined. That's a fall off of almost 45% of the total vote of prime Republican voters.

    In his just-past GOP Primary, Ari Kagan got fewer votes in his first GOP Primary than John Quaglione did in his first primary for City Council 2017; and Quaglione went on to loose to Justin Brannan in November of that same year. Kagan's just past Republican primary vote total of 1583 votes is far less than the minimum 13,000+ general election votes that he will need to have a shot at defeating Brannan in November 2023. Also, Kagan's 2021 general election vote total of 7,933 votes against Mark Szuszkiewicz is about half of the lowest possible number of votes that Kagan will need to win this coming November. In fact, the combined vote of Kagan & Szuszkiewicz in 2021, of under 15,000 might not guarantee a victory over Brannan in 2023, because that total vote in Kagan's only general election race is 10,000 votes fewer than the total votes in either of Brannan's races for City Council, against Quaglione in 2017, and against Fox in 2021.

    AND 1035, THAT MEANS YOUR CORRECTED NUMBER OF "72.4%" OF THE PRIMARY VOTES CAST FOR ARI KAGAN PROVES THAT YOUR [let's put this part in all lower case to show our complete disdain] "... most succesful gop chairperson in new york history..." ghorra has engineered and presided over a massive 45% drop in prime republican voters from when he took over from ARNALDO FERRARA [He does rate all caps; and now, also back to upper case for this part of 1035's quote] >>> "... FACT FACT FACT...." <<<

  28. RESPONSE: THE "NEITHER SIDE HAS IT QUITE RIGHT" EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:42 PM" & "... AT 6:22 PM"

    EATON IS NEITHER A KING --- NOR IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT EATON HE IS WITH BRANNAN.....


    None of what I heard about "Republicans for Brannan" last Monday suggests that Craig Eaton would be formally associated with that rump group in any way. Also, all I said on this blog about "Republicans for Brannan" was that some of the Brooklyn GOP leaders, and/or Republican activists, opposed to Ted Ghorra believed that Ghorra's support for Ari Kagan could be leveraged against Ghorra as the County Chairman in the near future, and that the existance of something like a "Republicans for Brannan" could be useful to show how little control Ghorra had over the most active Brooklyn GOP members and foot soldiers, and the overall apparatus and the organization of the GOP as a whole.

    I can say that Craig Eaton doesn't purport or prestend to be a king. However, he does live like one. I can say from recent experience that Craig's Porsche Cayenne SUV is a mighty fine ride to a place like Skinflints on a stormy July day in 2023. It was even a nice ride when tooling-around some of the more messed up parts of Ghorra's imagined GOP Potempkin Village of Bay Ridge more that fiver years into Ghorra's regime.

    Puhleez, take it in to be fixed before you comment about Eaton or Brannan again.

    In the meantime, stop wasting everybodies' time.

  36. 1157 Eaton cant have it both ways..wants to say he wins either way..all see it now..pick a side publicly or stop sayimg how Eaton is a player anywhere with anyone.

    ReplyDelete
  37. 1237, don't intentionally cause confusion.

    Eaton has picked a side. He is a good and real Republican; he opposes most of what Ted Ghorra does; and he is pretty much against the election of Ari Kagan as a so-called Republican-Conservative. FULL STOP!

    ReplyDelete
  38. 239
    So who is he supporting ???????

    ReplyDelete
  39. 428, why do you ask such silly and insipid questions? You seem to be exceeding the normal limits of human jejunosity

    If you really cared who Craig Eaton is supporting in 2023, and if Eaton wanted you to know about it with any certainty, I think he would have seen to it that you would know it by now.

    The people that matter pretty much all know what Craig is up-to, and why; and what he is not up-to, and why not. He's not very shy or veiled about most of it.

    A relatively large segment of Republicans and Conservatives believe that neither Brannan nor Kagan deserve their support. Another bunch of Republicans and Conservatives will be supporting Brannan, because they believe he is a better choice than Kagan. And Eaton might well be in one of those groupings, or he might not be.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Dope. Eaton is in Cats inner circle.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 1252, I never heard Eaton talk about any 30 year plan, 25 year plan, 20 year plan, ten year plan, five year plan, or any other plan for any time period whatsoever.

    Did you, or anybody that you know and trust ever tell you, that Eaton had any particular long term plan for any particular long term objective? I really doubt it.

    This whole "Eaton's long-term plan" thing seems like some very made up very fake news; and that means there is a very good chance that you are Brian Fox. That's because for well over two years now, I have seen Brian Fox's making stuff up (a/k/a "lying") to smear his critics and opponents or those of his patrons and consultees. It's all Fox can do in politics,either for himself or those tied-in with him. He's a one trick pony, that is to set up straw men caricatures and then play the hero for knocking them down.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fox is all over the district working with all local leaders..Fox is with Sliwa all the time & Sliwa is very much in the Cats inner circle very much against Brannan & with Kagan...unlike Eaton.

    ReplyDelete
  47. 440, you were out very late it seems... Just WHAT possibly can keep you going like that, and then up on Monday for your consulting gig for Ari?

    But, let's get to the meat of it! Your early AM comment above is quintessentially "Brian Fox"; so much so that we'll have to start referring to each new one of these whopper BIG LIES as a "foxjob."

    To be precise, a "foxjob" is a Brian Fox-type "Big Lie," which is so transparently false that it is about as effective as a failed blowjob, but since the "blow" part would be less about the the humming puffery involved than it might be about the obvious blow that fuels the particuler exercise as well as the overall enterprise, it nonetheless could rate being called a kind of "blowjob." And that kind of blowjob is applicable to your "foxjob" comment above, especially since it was posted during "the wee small hours of the morning" when your paranoid heebie-jeebies set in, let's say like around 4:40 AM this morning.

  50. RESPONSE: THE "THERE SHALL BE 'BIG LIES' AND RUMORS OF 'BIG LIES'..." EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:40 AM"; "... AT 5:35 PM"; "... AT 6:22 PM" & "... AT 9:22 PM"

    IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT IS LESS CREDIBLE THAN SOME "FOXJOB" BIG LIE ABOUT ALL THAT FOX IS DOING FOR KAGAN --- IT'S THAT FOX AND SLIWA ARE "CATS INSIDERS" WORKING TOGETHER FOR KAGAN AGAINST JUSTIN BRANNAN

    "... at 4:40 AM" --- you commented that >>> "Fox is all over the district working with all local leaders..Fox is with Sliwa all the time & Sliwa is very much in the Cats inner circle very much against Brannan & with Kagan...unlike Eaton...."

    Whether you are a flake-fueled failed fellator or are not, virtully none of what you said at 4:40 AM can be confirmed and/or corroborated in any way whatsoever. Therefore, we here at this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn & Staten Island are inclined to agree with most of what "... at 5:35 PM" had to say.

    First, we have actually spoken to a couple of GOP STATE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, who are district leaders within the new 47th Council District where Kagan is running >>> and they told me that they have neither seen or heard from Brian Fox, and that they are absolutely not working with Fox in any way, whether it's for Ari Kagan or anybody else.

    Second, we doubt very much that Fox has been "... with Sliwa all the time..."; or that "... Sliwa is very much in the Cats inner circle..."; or that Sliwa is really "... very much against Brannan & with Kagan..." >>> that's all because Sliwa needs to maintan at least some cred to be a Catsimatidis-favored candidate for congress against AOC in 2024 --- and any close personal backing by Sliwa of Kagan's run against Brannan would cost Sliwa lots of cred with Cats if-and-when Brannan wins big later this year.

    All kidding aside, besides that Melinda turkey-basting b-d job, the only cats inner circle that includes Curtis Sliwa is at his home, where there are more than a dozen cats.....

  51. Sliwa endorsed Kagan in the primary..and kagan waa on wabc which cats pwns..eaton guy avery was not...enough said.

  52. Hey, 435... So what? Who cares?

    Sliwa and Catismatidis have run in and lost a few elections themslves, and they haven't won any. They have endorsed quite a few people too, and most of those have lost in spite of those endorsements. So why should anybody care about them at all.

  55. In a perfect world, if I were really smart, I'd forget about this whole mess, and I'd leave this thread with what I said at 504 this morning..... You know, be completely above it and all intellectually superior like I was Galewyn Massey or Raymond Chandler's rumpled sage of 1930's LA >>> Philip Marlowe or somebody else like that.

    Then I could devote the rest of my really empty Tuesday to some significant anti-social afternoon drinkin' alone listening to some Sinatra, Vic Damone and Jerry Vale; and maybe to show some respect because he just died, a little of Tony Bennet too -- followed by some very sociable evening drinkin' with my anti-social friends hoping not to miss anything that they might be up to, or telling lies about doing like they were Brian Fox impersonators.

    That being the obviously smart thing to do in a perfect world, I just won't do it, 'cause this world ain't perfect. Instead I'll skip a drink or two, forget about "Old Blue Eyes" and call out 616 and 119 for the pigeon turd comments they made anout that giant among men, Craig Eaton.

    First, none of what 616 says "... shows Eaton has no clout with anyone anymore...." 616's comment is a complete non sequitor to any of the referant commentary that preceded it.

    Second, no "Brian" that we know ever fought a "good fight" in his life. Even as a hockey enforcer, his kind of "tough guy" only throws punches that have no zing or lights-out pop in them.

    All of that being said, I guess it shows the rest of yuhs how smart I am in this imperfect world.

  56. UPDATE & FRONTFILL: THE "MAYBE, IT'S TIME TO RELEASE THE KRAKEN" EDITION

    WHEN ONE HEARS STUFF LIKE THIS FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES --- ONE A LONG-TIME LEADER AND STILL A KEY PLAYER IN THE BROOKLYN GOP --- AND THE OTHER, A LONG-TIME TOP KINGS COUNTY DEMOCRAT ACTIVIST AND STILL A RECOGNIZED OPERATOR OF MANY LEVERS >>> IT'S TIME TO REPORT AND CONJECTURE AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON.....

    THIS IS CRAZIER THAN MAKING OLSEN & JOHNSON'S 1930'S SHOW "HELLZAPOPPIN" INTO A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE IN 1941


    What if somebody decided that they were about to do a "phase two" of their big plan very soon, because there suddenly appeared to be powerful allies ready to sign-on for the effort, and help make it happen?

    What if somebody said that the best way to do it would be to go to all the Republicans who are finally fed up with Ted whose name always rhymed with "dead whore" and Jerry Kassar's antics --- and quietly, but not too quietly --- run a couple of three or four write-in campaigns that will confuse everybody in the 43rd Council District, in the 47th Council District, and in the 48th Council District, resulting in three big wins for the Democrats, all in Brooklyn; and omelettes with all the fixins on the faces of Ghorra, Kassar, and most of all Staten Island Joe Borelli, the Black Prince of the GOP in the City Council, who broke a very big deal with certain key Democrats by backing Kagan against Brannan.

    Here's the real beauty of the plan --- the Republican write-in candidates are already running full-fledged campaigns for City Council, and everybody knows that they are really GOP candidates in 2023.

    So here are some of the details: do a write-in for Ari Kagan for City Council in the 48th District (it's where he wanted to run all along); and also do a write-in for both Inna Vernikov and Vito LaBella in the 47th District (so the Republicans there can vote for real Republicans of their own choosing instead of former KGB, former Democrat Ari Kagan); and in the 43rd District do a bifurcated write-in push, some for Michael Ragusa and others for Anna Belfiore-Delfaus (the irony of two additional out-of-district Italians running in the Asian-cut Council District along with who's on the GOP and Conservative lines is a thing of beauty --- that is just too perfect a fit to close off any possible racist back door redemption for Kassar and Fran in the first Brooklyn Asian Council District).

  65. Brian Fox is more of a current player in brooklyn gop politics than Eaton. All see and know it. Gale covers for eaton and its laughable.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Get real, Fox isn't any kind of current player in the Brooklyn GOP politics at all. As for comparisons between Fox and Eaton, there aren't any; more apt would be comparisons to the next tier down, like: Quaglione, McCabe, and Capano; or even to the two Vitos, LaBella and Bruno. Even among those at that level of comparison. Foxy would have a lot less to show in his very small and recent body of work.

    More than anything, Brian Fox needs a real day job. He would be a perfect fit intellectually for "The View"; and any of the regulars on "The View" would be as good a fit for the Brooklyn GOP as Fox, and a lot more useful. Maybe, somebody like Fox's great buddy Catsimatidis can arrange a trade among the ABC talkshow higher-ups.

  68. Brian Fox ? That fat useless two time loser that hangs out at the Pizzeria on 3rd and 85th and just get fatter and fatter?

    And that Goatee he wears? What is that?

  69. 10:16am. It is impossible for Cats to be having dinner with Kassar and Ghorra and Sliwa last night, because he was throwing a Birthday party for Craig with a dozen people from WABC including Sliwa, Pataki, etc etc etc at a NYC Restaurant. The thing is, Gov Pataki actually posted a picture of the party on Twitter. Bam! Actual Proof!

  71. I hear Brian Fox has a criminal record in Mercer County NJ.

    I also hear that an Investigator has been hired by the GOP to pull his criminal records to expose the man he really is.

    But who is he actually? A Grifter who stumbled into Bay Ridge and now is the best Politicial Mind of the Century.

    I say he is a 2 time loser

  78. RESPONSE: THE "NONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MENTIONED IN THE TWO COMMENTS IMMEDIATELY ABOVE (WITH OR WITHOUT TYPOS) COUNT FOR SHIT IN CONTEMPRARY BROOKLYN POLITICS --- UNLESS....." EDITION

    TO THE ONE OR TWO CEMENT-FOR-BRAINS COMMENT MAKERS: "... AT 10:31 AM" & "... AT 11:16 AM"


    ... With the obvious exception of Craig Eaton himself, unless the virtually unknown or grossly out of date political pretenders mentioned in these comments above talk to us and tell us good & true scoop material, we couldn't care less about them --- and nor should you. They are as useless as tits on a bull, or balls on a Barbie Doll.

  79. Wow, Gail! Going forward, will anybody care at all about Fox, McCabe, and Ghorra now that you and Eaton have exposed them as such petty fraudsters and incompetent hoaxers.

    It's now obvious that Eaton's honorific position as Kings County Chairman Emeritus gives him so much power and freedom of action that Ghorra and his underlings are coming across as the gang that can't shoot straight, because of their animus and insecurities vis a vis Chairman Eaton.

  80. Thank you Governor Pataki for posting clear and convincing video evidence of the truth about John Catsimatidis and his wife's hosting a birthday celebration for Brooklyn's de facto Republican leader Craig Eaton.

    Stop with your fake news lies about you know who, and you know what, why, and wherefore..... We just won't credit them in any way; we don't consider them as fair and valid commentary, or humorous and good natured banter either; and finally, we will not print them or anything related or referring to them herein below, or in the future on later comments threads.....

  82. Gale admits the truth. He allows & publishes himself lies about Eaton purported importance but sensors anyone that challenges it and actually provides proof to the contrary. I am done with this blog. The facts show eaton has no clouy or any woth cats.. Sliwa and by extension Cats endorsed Kagan and Labella while eaton went with someone else..just like the Marty Golden race

    ReplyDelete
  83. Sliwa "and by extension" Cats? Are you an idiot?

    So you want the people who read this blog to believe that whoever Sliwa endorses that Cats is also endorsing him or her blindly, just because Sliwa endorsed them?

    A bit of a stretch dont you think? You are such a fool.

    Gale this comment should be deleted since it is so out there....

  84. RESPONSE: THE "WTF !!!" EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 10:42 AM"

    STOP WHINING AND POSTING WHILE WEARING OJ SIMPSON'S LEATHER GLOVES --- OR RUNNING YOUR TEXT THROUGH A WARING BLENDER BEDORE YOU POST IT.....


    It all makes you look and/or sound like you are suffering from apoplexy.

    Your comment has relatively fewer lies; and it has a little more entertainment value than your earlier attempted postings

  85. RESPONSE: THE "BRIAN FOX --- THE UNRELIABLE INCREDIBLE REVERSABLE DUPE & DOPE FOR ALL SEASONS" EDITION

    TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 3:37 PM" --- THE MAKER OF THE MOST RECENT COMMENT THAT WE WOULDN'T PUBLISH (EXCEPT A FEW FRAGMENTS THAT FOLLOW IN THE ULTIMATE PARAGRAPH OF THIS "RESPONSE" COMMENT)

    In our prior "RESPONSE... AT 11:31 AM", we quoted this interesting statement by our banned comment maker "...at 10:42 AM": ".... I am done with this blog...." --- Would that it were true and honest. --- However, needless to say that comment maker is unreliable, incredible and reversible, and very likely is Brian Fox himself.....

    The later comment made "... at 3:37 PM" showed that the comment maker "...at 10:42 AM" is an unreliable liar. Again, that comment maker is very likely to be Brian Fox himself

    Nonetheless, these parts of comment "... at 3:37 PM" seemed true and made some sense as edited: "Mr. Fox ... You back *** Ari Kagan on the same team as *** Ghorra. *** {L]eaders like Eaton *** have no place in the Kagan camp...."
