PROOF THAT CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND THE DEMOCRAT PARTY COUNTY LEADER RODNYSE BICHOTTE HERMELYN OF BROOKLYN ARE IN COLLUSION TELLING A SERIES OF >>> OUTRIGHT LIES <<< ALL TO ELECT ARI KAGAN --- WHO HAD ANNOUNCED THAT HE HAD DEFECTED FROM THE DEMOCRAT PARTY TO THE REPUBLICANS AND CONSERVATIVES --- BUT INCREASINGLY LOOKS LIKE HE HASN'T.....
Here's what Kassar's Conservatives have posted on their Meta-Facebook page just a little while ago:
"Brooklyn ConservativeParty... Tuesday, Oactober 31,2923 at 3:43 PM... Brannan's bullying has gone too far. Even the Brooklyn Democrats have denounced him for bullying a staffer, Michael Bistriech, who has autism. Brannan's history of intimidation goes further than that proving that we need a change more than ever... Vote for Ari Kagan on Line C during early voting or on Election Day, November 7th...."
Along with that text Kasser's Conservatives posted this release from the Brooklyn Democrat Party:
And this personal statement from Democrat County Leader Rodnyse Bichotte Hermelyn:
The problem is that it is all complete and absolute lies.....
Kassar knows they are lies;
Kagan knows they are lies;
Bichotte Hermelyn knows they are lies; and even
Michael Bistreich probably knows they are lies (most certainly his mother does, and his lawyers do too)
It is up to Justin Brannan to police this matter in any way that he might be able, and seems fit to him, and his allies, and advisers. We could tell the real Brannan-Bistreich story that has been kept under raps for about five or six years; but Brannan or his formal representatives are in a better position to do so.
Our purpose here is just to sound an alarm that something very strange is happening involving the leadership* of the Democrat Party in Brooklyn, the Conservative Party in Brooklyn, and the Republican Party in Brooklyn**..... And it is not good for any of the people in Brooklyn --- be they Republians, Democrats, Conservatives, Independents or "Others"..... Let us close by saying this ---
What the hell is happening in Brooklyn ??? This is insane !!!!!
_______________
*The "leadership" of the Republican, Democrat and Conservative Parties each functions differently..... Bichotte is not as informed or hard-working as she needs to be --- according to many Brooklyn Democrats and observers; Conservative State Chairman Jerry Kassar is the only person allowed to run either the Brooklyn Conservative Party or the Brooklyn Republican Party.....
_______________
**At this moment, there is no formal Kings County Republican Organization --- it appears that a rump group of hooligans led by Marty Golden and Rich Barsamian so screwed up the proceeding before, during and after the 2023 Brooklyn GOP Convention, that they might not even have any standing in court to appear as the "Kings County Republican Organization" --- or to stop any competing rump group from claiming that they are the "Kings County Republican Organization".....
BACKFILL: THE "DIRTIEST RACE IN THE CITY --- THE ONE BETWEEM BRANNAN AND KAGAN --- JUST GOT DIRTIER" EDITION
ReplyDeleteAccording to an article in "City & State" yesterday >>> on Tuesday, Brooklyn Democrat "Leader" Rodneyse Bichotte released a blistering statement in response to a New York Post story rehashing years-old harassment allegations against Brannan. The on-line "City & State" report then quoted Bichotte as follows: “We have received a barrage of concerns and disturbing allegations against Councilman Justin Brannan for harassing and tormenting an ex-staff member with autism, who was under Brannan's supervision at the time. The chilling accusations, which include locking this staffer in a basement and leaving decapitated teddy bears on his desk, were settled out of court for $850,000. Some have asked for Justin Brannan's resignation, which I have not taken a position on, as we wait for all the facts to come to light about these disturbing incidents...”. "City and State" went on to say that a Brannan campaign spokesperson, Ian Brown, responded by accusing the Kings Democrat Chairperson Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn of slander. Brown had written that in an E-mail to "City & State" that contained this statement: “Justin's desperate political opponents – that now include Rodneyse – have been lodging these false accusations in every campaign for the past 6 years. Justin was not named in this lawsuit and was never subpoenaed. Rodneyse should be careful she doesn't end up getting sued for libel and slander....” ( See "Ahead of close election, Brooklyn Dems chair turns on Democratic City Council member -- The cold war between Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn and Justin Brannan has turned hot, and Brannan is now threatening to sue the party chair for defamation." by Peter Sterne, 10-31-2023, City & State/ NY City Council Races to Watch [https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2023/10/ahead-close-election-brooklyn-dems-chair-turns-democratic-city-council-member/391669/]).
City & State went on to state that Brannan and the ex-staff member in question, Michael Bistreich, worked together as staffers for former City Council Member Vincent Gentile. In 2016, Bistreich sued Gentile and the city for $10 million, alleging that some of his co-workers had harassed and mocked him due to his autism. However, the lawsuit did not name Brannan and Brannan was not cited for any of the activities. In 2021, a judge even dismissed Councilman Gentile from the suit, but the case went on against NYC and the city settled that case for $850,000.
It was only when Brannan ran to replace the term-limited Gentile that Bistreich went to the Daily News and said --- for the first time --- that Brannan was one of several unnamed coworkers who had mocked him; and at the same time in 2017 Bistreich endorsed the Republican candidate, Brannan immediately denied and rebutted Bistreich's claims against him with several relevant facts proving that Brannan could not have been involved. In the election for 2017 Brannan was elected to the City Council in spite of anything that Bistreich had said about Brannan. Bistreich popped up again in Brannan's 2021 re-election campaign, supporting and working for Brian Fox, with active role in the Republican-Conservative campaign against Brannan. In 2021 Bistreich again made the same old claims against Brannan, and the Fox campaign again made a last second splash about Bistreich and his claims. However, in 2021, the public again rejected the Bistreich claims as not credible, and Brannan was re-elected.
Last week, Bistreich released a new last minute video endorsing Kagan, Brannan's 2023 Republican-Conservative opponent; and Bistreich renewed the same exact claims that he had raised against Brannan in 2017 and again in 2021.
Whats going on here? Bistreich is not new but Dem boss trashing Dem on eve of election is new.
ReplyDeleteSo what is going on here?

ReplyDeleteIn October 2021 this was reported-on, published and broadcast, and put into the public record by >>> "Spectrum News-NY1" <<< about the Michael Bistreich claims then being made and broadly published against Justin Brannan:
".... [The Republican and Conservative Party candidate against Brannan in 2021 Brian] Fox’s closing argument involves an autistic man who, like Brannan, was a council aide to Vincent Gentile.... Michael Bistreich sued the city and Gentile saying he was tormented at his workplace.... 'It was just really, really disgusting,' Fox said. 'It was mental attacks. It was physical attacks. They locked him in a basement at one point.'... Brannan wasn’t named in the initial 2016 complaint [by Bistreich], but he was mentioned in a subsequent affidavit [in the court record of Bistreich's] case.... Gentile was dismissed as a defendant before Bistreich and the city settled.... Brannan was not working for Gentile when Bistreich was harassed...."

ReplyDeletePEOPLE LIKE CARL CAMPANILE, NOLAN HICKS & JORGE FITZ-GIBBON NEED TO BE BETTER JOURNALISTS AND ACTUALY DO SOME ACCURATE REPORTING --- AND NOT JUST PRINT THE FALSEHOODS THAT THEY ARE FED BY RODNEYSE BICHOTTE HERMELYN, ARI KAGAN, AND/OR ARI KAGAN'S BROOKLYN GOP AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY CAMPAIGN OPERATIVES
CONTRARY TO WHAT THE NY POST BROUHAHA IN YESTERDAY'S PRINT & ON-LINE EDITIONS ABOUT THE BICHOTTE-BRANNAN-BISTREICH STORY CLEARLY REPORTED IN ONE INSTANCE AND/OR STRONGLY SUGGESTED IN ANOTHER >>> BISTREICH HAS NEVER-EVER BEEN ON JUSTIN BRANNAN'S STAFF --- AND --- BRANNAN WAS NOT EVEN ON COUNCILMAN VINCENT GENTILE'S STAFF WHEN BISTREICH CLAIMS THAT HE WAS HARASSED BY OTHER MEMBERS OF GENTILE'S STAFF.....
These are basic but important facts in any true and accurate telling of the Bistreich-Brannan story; and the NY Post and it's writers have no excuse for getting it wrong --- unless they want to hear the words "Cease and Desist"; "Malice"; and "Reckless Disregard for the Truth" very soon.
11-1 at 1101, what's also "not new" is that Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn has been trying to weave some crazy Haitian JuJu spells on Justin Brannan and some other Bay Ridge Dems to benefit her own political fortunes and those of some of her downtown leftist friends in the Heights, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and even Kennsington. That fued has been going on in Bay Ridge for years against folks named Perfetto and Seminara, even before anybody heard any of the Creole sounding incantations over chicken bones from Bichotte.

ReplyDeleteAT THE VERY BEGINNING MICHAEL BISTREICH NEVER MENTIONED JUSTIN BRANNAN AS BEING INVOLVED IN ANY WAY WITH THE HARASSMENT THAT HAPPENED IN VINCENT GENTILE'S OFFICE --- EVEN WHILE THERE WERE CONTEMPORARY REPORTS THAT BRANNAN WAS TALKING ABOUT RUNNING FOR GENTILE'S CITY COUNCIL SEAT
In December of 2016. it was widely reported that Michael Bistrwich had commenced a lawsuit, as follows >>> "A former aide to a New York City Council member says the lawmaker and a senior member of his staff subjected him to cruel bullying that included decapitating the stuffed animals on his desk.... Michael Bistreich, who has Asperger syndrome, filed a $10 million lawsuit against Brooklyn City Councilman Vincent Gentile on Tuesday.... Bistreich says in the lawsuit that on one occasion, he was locked in a basement. On another, someone beheaded the stuffed animals on his desk. One bear’s head was mounted on a small flagpole...." (See e.g. "Disability bias suit: Worker ridiculed, teddy bears beheaded
by Ula Ilnytzky, 12-7-2016, Associated Press [https://apnews.com/article/a1bdb94ccf79493aa280d87e8d485219]).
It must be noted that Justin Brannan was not mentioned in that AP article --- and the "senior member of ]Gentile's] staff," who was not Justin Brannan was named in the Bistreich lawsuit as "John Mancuso".....
Similar coverage of the Bistreich lawsuit appeared on PIX 11. Again, Justin Brannan was not mention in the lengthy and detailed PIX 11 text article; and John Mancuso was mentioned in the PIX 11 piece and Bistreich quoted as follows: ".... He said the harassment began in small ways.... 'They would throw pencils at me,' Bistreich said.... Bistreich said the tormenting began to escalate when Gentile brought in a new chief of staff, John Mancuso.... 'He is the one who would throw things at me, and lock me in the basement at one point,' Bistreich said.... Bistreich resigned this past June [2016]. He said he quit because he could no longer take the cruelty and torment. Since he has come public with his story, more than 2,000 people have offered to give him a new teddy bear. He said he plans on donating them to needy children this holiday season...." (See "Former aide with Asperger’s says he was bullied by Brooklyn councilman, co-workers" by Shirley Chan, 12-8-2016, PIX 11/ NEWS
[https://pix11.com/news/former-aide-with-aspergers-says-he-was-bullied-by-brooklyn-councilman-co-workers/].
We here on this independent GOP blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island have reviewd several other articles about the Bistreich claims and lawsuit in December of 2016; in none of those articles did Michael Bistreich mention Justin Brannan as being any part of the discrimination and/or harassment directed at Bistreich for his mental condidtion and behaviors.
Gale, you have been a gale-force wind about this poor fellow Bistreich going after your obvious friend Justin Brannan, but have you ever found out why Michael Bistreich waited more than nine months to bring up Brannan's name as a significant player in what had been done to Bistreich in Gentile's office. Was it because John Quaglione or somebody backing John Quaglione suggest that it would be better for Bistreich to bring Justin into his $10 million suit against NYC?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: THE "REAL ORIGINAL REASON THAT BISTREICH TURNED ON BRANNAN WAS PURELY FINANCIAL" EDITION
ReplyDeleteTO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 7:06 PM"
BISTREICH AND BISTREICH'S MOM WERE UPSET THAT BRANNAN NOT ONLY REFUSED TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF MICHAEL AND HIS $10 MILLION LAWSUIT --- BRANNAN LET THEM KNOW THAT IF HE WAS CALLED TO TESTIFY, HE INTENDED TO TESTIFY AGAINST MICHAEL --- IT WAS THEN THAT THE BISTREICHES TURNED ON BRANNAN --- EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWED HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER
THE BICHOTTE HERMELYN PIECE IS REALLY A STRANGE WILD CARD --- SHE DOESN'T EVEN SEEM TO KNOW THE BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CASE --- AND HER SAYING THAT BISTREICH HAS A RIGHT TO TELL HIS STORY SEEMS TO IGNORE THAT SINCE LATE AUGUST 2017 (MORE THAN SIX YEARS AGO) BISTREICH HAS BEEN REPEATING HIS STORIES ABOUT JUSTIN BRANNAN >>> OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN..... AND IN ONE OF THE RACES WHERE BISTREICH'S CHARGES WERE USED AGAINST BRANNAN, BICHOTTE HERMELYN SUPPORTED BRANNAN'S RE-ELECTION
As we on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island said earlier in this discussion yesterday or earlier today >>> this Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn attack is something that looks and feels very personal.
but justin did live in brooklyn when it happened
ReplyDeletebut Kathie Addeo Bistreich did live in Brooklyn too when it happened
ReplyDeleteWhy did Bistreich so strongly prefer Republicans like Brian Fox and Ari Kagan compared to other Republicans Like Vito Bruno? The answer to that question might give us all an insight as to how well Bistreich makes decisions; and why he does what he does, and says what he says.
ReplyDeleteCatsimatedes just slapped Eaton around again- he took full page ad in NY Post endorsing Kagan..I thought Eaton & Cats were friends..I guess Kassar is closer to him

All kidding aside, Kathie Addeo Bistreich had been the heavy-lifting helecopter mom
>>> motivating, facilitating, enabling and justifying Michael's confabulations about himself and Justin Brannan --- when Justin and Michael's real history, and the timeline and facts of Michael's outrageous claims about Brannan would have led any reponsible parent to warn her son that he was making a horrible mistake --- regardless of his immediate and shifting motivation(s).
As for Catsimatidis, how can anything that he says and does nowadays show that he has any relevance whatsoever or that any of his products are any good --- whether they come off his grocery shelves or out of his political bag of tricks.
Rodynese statement states Bistreich deserved a safe space. Space is a problem with a rather large fellow like Mike.
ReplyDeleteGale if you hate acats so much how can you be so close to Eaton as Eaton claims Cats is his best friend????? Which obviously is not reciprocated by Cats as Cats embarrasses Eaton almost non stop whether it is Eaton supporting Gounardes and Cats backing golden or Eaton backing Avery Periers in the primary & Cats & his inner circle backing Kagan..or Eaton backing Dmitry & Cats & his inner circle with Richie or Cats backing Kagan in the general while Eaton is against him
