So far everybody should know what Kagan has said about himself >>> that he was a committed Communist until the last gasps of the Soviet Union under Gorbachev --- and that he had been a Soviet information officer and "journalist" while in the Army during those tumultuous times back in the USSR, during the brief run of the Commonwealth of Independent States (formally republics of the USSR) --- and then that he secured "civilian" positions as a "journalist" in the Russian puppet state of Belarus
Most people also have a general idea about Ari Kagan's very problematic history of Russo- and FSU-centric ethnic journalism and TV reporting since being in the USA --- as well as his checkered political past running the gamut from routine Democrat hackery through to his strong alliance with revolutionary woke Democrats on the CIty Council that seems to have survived his trans-party change of political veneers to that of conservative Republicanism
Somewhat lesser known is the long history of questions by American politicians and political reporters about Ari (Arkady) Kagan's secret past service as a Soviet agent in the security aparatus of the USSR >>> that were repeatedly raised during the Democrat primary campaign for NY City Council in 2013 --- and aired in the local, ethnic, and religious press only a few times thereafter
Yes !!! There have been serious questions about all that and more. --- However, there has been very little in the way of details or even responsive answers by Ari Kagan himself, and/or his political flaks and flunkies, whether on his tax paid NY City Council staff, local and ethnic media, or Kagan's very well-paid conservative Republican consultants and handlers.....
As an old Eaton-oriented former blogger often uttered as a prelude to a question, "The Question Begs" >>> Why has the more conservative leaning of the NYC-wide media NOT LOOKED MORE CLOSELY into this mine-filled, but as yet journalistically un-mined part of Kagan's personal history, biography, legend, back-story and or deep cover coverup.
After all, isn't that the reason that we look to the NY Post, Fox News NY, and ABC NY talk radio for political news and information ???
Because you & Eaton are the only ones peddling this non sense. Its why whatever little credibility Eaton had is gone with his non support of the official GOP council candidiate Kagan..

AS A MATTER OF HISTORICAL FACT >>> WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES TO HAVE "PEDDLED" THE INFORMATION ABOUT >>> ARI KAGAN'S LIKELY ACTIVITIES IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION, AND/OR DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION, ON BEHALF OF THE SECRET SECURITY SERVICES INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE SOVIET ARMY <<<
AND --- WITH STRONG EMPHASIS --- WE HERE AT THIS INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND ARE >>> CERTAINLY AND COMPLETLY UNAWARE <<< >>> OF ANY TIME. PLACE, OR CIRCUMSTANCE, IRRESPECTIVE OF MEDIUM, METHOD OR MANNER OF DELIVERY OF ANY STATEMENT, QUESTION OR CONJECTURE BY CRAIG EATON CONCERNING >>> ARI KAGAN'S LIKELY ACTIVITIES IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION, AND/OR DURING OR SHORTLY AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE SOVIET UNION, ON BEHALF OF THE SECRET SECURITY SERVICES INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE SOVIET ARMY <<<
To be perfectly clear >>> nobody at this blog has spoken on behalf of Craig Eaton, reported on any fact, or made any statement whatsoever that expressed or implied that Craig Eaton held any belief or uttered any opinion that >>> ".... the Republican & Conservative Party candidate for the City Council Ari (Arkady) Kagan [had any surreptitious, or concealed after the fact] backstory about his time and service --- in and for the Soviet Union...."
Furthermore, it is our belief that at no time prior to the composition and publishing of the featured post above this thread of comments, that Craig Eaton had any knowledge corncerning >>> ".... the Republican & Conservative Party candidate for the City Council Ari (Arkady) Kagan [had any surreptitious, or concealed after the fact] backstory about his time and service --- in and for the Soviet Union...." And to the best of our recollection, Craig Eaton has never mentioned anything about it or anything like it to anybody involved with publishing the material contained on this blog about Kagan's activities and duties while he was in any Soviet service.
So, the question begs, why are the Fox-Kagan team trying shield thenselves from Eaton's "peddling this nonsense" when Eaton hasn't peddled anything like it at all. (However, if >>> ANYBODY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOX-KAGAN TEAM DO KNOW THAT EATON IS >>> "peddling this nonsense" >>> Please, let us know, because that would be news, and we would report on it, after that lead is fully vetted.....)
Mr. Murdoch, Mr. Catsimatidis and all the reporters and hosts, and researchers and producers at the NY Post, Fox News, and ABC Talk Radio need to look into Ari Kagan's dodgy past in the USSR, Belarus and even here in the USA.

UH OH, FOX-KAGAN TEAM COMMENT MAKER (803)
TRALLY, IT MUST BE SAID THAT EATON DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY ANYTHING ABOUT ASSOCIATING WITH OR NOT ASSOCIATING HIM WITH ANY ANTI-KAGAN EFFORT(S).... THEREFORE, IT WOULD JUST BE A WILD AND CRAZY BIT OF SPECULATIVE FAKE NEWS AND FOX-TYPE LYING TO CONCLUDE THAT ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY ANY GOP LEADERS, TOLD CRAIG ANYTHING ABOUT NOT BACKING KAGAN
However, to whomever it was that tried to post the fake news comment "... at 8:03 PM" --- we here do reiterate something like what we said here earlier >>> " (However, if >>> ANYBODY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOX-KAGAN TEAM DO KNOW >>> "THAT ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY ANY GOP LEADERS, TOLD CRAIG ANYTHING ABOUT NOT BACKING KAGAN" >>> Please, let us know, because that would be news, and we would report on it, after that particular lead is fully vetted..... And BTW, there's still nothing from the FOX-KAGAN TEAM about any of the alleged "Nonsense" that Eaton supposedly was "peddling" about Kagan..... Jes sayin' !!!)
Eaton is alone again..shunned now conpletely by GOP power brokers now that Gale confirmed Eaton is not with Kagan

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 4:46 AM"
THE SAME STUFF WAS BROUGHT UP AGAIN BY PROBABLE BROOK-KRASNY SUPPORTERS DURING THE 2013 PRIMARY FOR CITY COUNCIL --- AND IT WAS AGAIN REPORTED IN THE MEDIA --- AND AGAIN ARI (ARKADY) KAGAN COUNTERED WITH SIMILAR PARTIAL ADMISSIONS, DECEPTIVE EVASIONS, AND VERY LIKELY OUTRIGHT FALSEHOODS
To put it all into context, here's some relevant stuff from Kagan's bio in Wikipedia, as it stands today:
"Kagan was born in Minsk in 1967.... After graduating Secondary School No. 20 in Minsk, he joined the Soviet Army and attended Leningrad Suvorov School. In February 1984, he was admitted to the Journalism Department at Lvov Military Political College, from which he graduated in 1988.... In 1991, Kagan left the Soviet Army and the Soviet Communist Party. He said he "gradually became disillusioned with the Soviet-Communist ideology...."
Any claims by Ari Kagan that he was only a member of the Communist Party for just a couple of years don't seem to hold up at all. Simple math based upon the legend he has given to the public here in the USA shows that Kagan was very likely a Communist Party member from as early as 1984, when he was about 17 yoa, and entering Lvov Military Political College to learn 'journalism"..... (It was possibly a little earlier than that, if you count his very likely earlier involvement in the Komsomol [Komsomol membership reached a maximum of about 40 million in the 1970s and early ’80s, the time when Kagan was at the Leningrad Suvorov School. In Soviet society during Kagan's school days and through his time formally serving in the Soviet Army, Komsomol members were frequently favored over nonmembers in matters of employment and scholarships. Active participation in the Komsomol was considered an important factor in gaining membership and eventual leadership positions in the Communist Party. All Komsomol cells were federated at levels paralleling those of the supervening Communist Party. Reflecting the overall collapse of Communism throughout the Soviet Union, the Komsomol disbanded in 1991.]
And it is only then in 1991 that Kagan now tells everybody that he left the Communist Party ---
--- and Ari Kagan has been getting away with telling that story with minimal media investigation and/or pushback since at least 2006, and continues trying to do so.
In 1991, Kagan was about 24 years old --- in 1991, when Ari Kagan was a Communist Party member for at least seven years, and probably more than that --- in 1991, which was Kagan's whole adult life at that time, and about one-third of his life over all --- in 1991, when Ari Kagan says that he formally "left" the Soviet Army, as well --- in 1991, when after a failed coup by Soviet hardliners, and under pressure from the liberalizers, Gorbachev resigned, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus became independent and formed the Commonwealth of Independent States --- and in 1991, when the Communist Party lost primacy status and the Soviet Union collapsed. Only then did Ari Kagan say he "lost faith" in Communism, left the Communist Party, and left Soviet service as an "information officer" in the Soviet Army.
OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THE VERY WELL-TRAINED AND AND UNIQUELY-GROOMED VETERAN SOVIET OPERATIVE ARI (ARKADY) KAGAN WANTS EVERYBODY TO BELIEVE.....
Nobody is voting for defunder justin

ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID ... AT 4:34 AM"
THE FOX-KAGAN TEAM HAS SO LITTLE TIME LEFT --- SO, WHY ARE THEY WASTING SO MUCH OF IT ON SUCH INANE ATTEMPTS AT F-F-F-FAKE NEWS ABOUT CRAIG EATON --- AND WHETHER EATON IS WITH ARI KAGAN OR NOT ?
IN A FEW WORDS THAT MIGHT MAKE SOME SENSE TO BRIAN FOX, THE MAN THAT NEVER LEAVES ANY FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW, BECAUSE HE NEVER LEAVES ANY SNOW EXCEPT BY ACCIDENT OR STUPOR >>> "WHAT UP WI' DAT" ???
ARI KAGAN REALLY SHOULD KEEP A CLOSER EYE ON HOW FOX AND FRIEMDS LIKE LIAM ARE SPENDING >>> OUR <<< MATCHING FUNDS.....
So little time, so little time, where to begin, where to begin !!!
First the syntax of syntax error (((never forget or always remember, the syntax of syntax is logic)))) --- Craig Eaton cannot be "alone again" --- because he has never been alone as the GOP mover and shaker in the first place, even when Marty Golden had his first bad bout with dementia and demanded the ouster of Eaton;
Second, far from being "shunned [ ] conpletely [sic] by GOP power brokers now that Gale confirmed Eaton is not with Kagan...." several of them are getting very uncomfortable that they backed Kagan too soon without clearing it with Eaton;
Third, even though everybody knows that "Gale" is a credible and authoritative fact-checker, his independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island can only report on what it thinks Eaton might be doing vis a vis Ari Kagan On a day-to-day basis --- GOP power brokers also know by now, that "Gale" has only opined to a degree of almost metaphysical certainty that Eaton is clearly and unambiguously not "WITH" Kagan (although we do admit that for the slipshod and unclear thinkers >>> that's as good as "confirmation" in their minds); and
Fourth, those very same GOP power brokers have read "Gale's" very well-researched reports about Ari Kagan once having been Arkady Kagan the Soviet Army information agent tasked with trying to maintain Communist Party primacy and Soviet military power against the anti-Communist liberalizers and independence advocates in various republics of the Soviet Union; and also how Ari Kagan as a contemprary political player in Brooklyn hasn't changed very much from his very woke "defund the police" days as a Democrat, and,even as a fecently-converted Republican-Conservative he has remained a close ally and voting partner of the most leftist socialist Democrats in the NY City Council.
