Is Nicole Malliotakis trying to pick her own Democrat opponent for the 2024 election to the U.S. Congress from Staten Island and Brooklyn --- she has much bigger problems to deal with before trying to get away with something like that.....

[[[ Updated with photos and edits at 11:30 AM, November 28, 2023 ]]]

Do you know what this is called ???

It's called "Evidence"   ---  a word that should scare Nicole down to her ditties'n'galls.....

Why else would Nicole address an e-mail to herself about an article that her own people got  placed in the NY Post  ?????

Everybody knows that even a popular Brooklyn Democrat like Justin Brannan would be facing a very difficult uphill battle going against an incumbent Republican in Congress like Malliotakis,  a Staten Islander whose district is mostly in Staten Island. 

Just ask the likes of Sal Albanese and Vincent Gentile  ---  two popularly re-elected Democrat Councilmembers from many of the same areas in Brooklyn now represented by Justin Brannan.  

Brannan seems to be very aware of all that;  and he has said to the NY Post that he is not a candidate for the Congessional seat now held by Malliotakis  ---  even though he also hammered Nicole as a do-nothing member of congress, who could "... do [no] more than go on TV and wage culture wars...”.

In any case, Nicole has several things that she needs to worry about much more than any possible run by Justin Brannan.  The first is what investigators might turn up in the sudden and unexplained death of one of Malliotakis' key Republican allies and supporters in Brooklyn, Brian Fox.  Another of Malliotakis' key Brooklyn allies and supporters, Liam McCabe seems to be involved in the tangled-up last hours Mr. Fox; and possibly even the rapid decline of the man in the days and/or weeks leading up to his death. Many of the Brooklyn GOP types not as close to Fox as McCabe was were quick to mention drugs and very irregular income and financial dealings as likely contributing factors in Fox's death on the day after the 2023 election. The police have not yet mentioned any cause of death, and there has been little word about the tox screen and autopsy for the 34 year old who just up and died about three weeks ago. 

No doubt, Nicole thought that she was buying her peace vis a vis Brian Fox when she wrote,  “...  Like so many others, I was both saddened and shocked to learn of the untimely passing of Brian Fox....  Brian was a great supporter of our NYPD and passionate about improving the quality of life for the families in southern Brooklyn. His advocacy and presence will be missed....”  Nicole had to know virtually none of that was true.  Worse than that, she had to know that her testimonial would be used by those trying to spike the Brian Fox story and head off any meaningful investigation of his death.

Nicole and Fox were together a lot between late 2020 and November of 2023  ---  here are just a few shots of them together.....

                                      

                                                                     

     

                                       

Even if she can keep her part in the Brian Fox scandals buried, her second big problem will be in the person of Republican John Matland;  and/or other Republicans ready to support him in both Staten Island and Brooklyn, or somebody taking the baton of his 2022 MAGA Republican opposition to Nicole directly from him and ready for another Brooklyn-Staten Island GOP primary race in 2024.

Is this serious or somebody's idea of a joke to lighten up the mood after the Brian Fox fiasco and tragedy --- and the fiasco after the tragedy

 

Bob Capano  (Surely you remember him !!! Ah, time flies and so did Bay Ridge Bob  ---  not even in the city anymore.....):

"With the results of the elections earlier this month, combined with the burgeoning federal corruption investigation moving closer to Eric Adams, the New York GOP should unite now behind Curtis Sliwa for Mayor...."

Seriously ???  We mean  >>>  SERIOUSLY !!!

--- some guy from the past with a silly hat and looking like a cat that just swallowed the canary.....

Is this really Capano's own brain-fart  ---  OR  ---  is it that fat Greek grocer boss of his with the bad skin and marbles in his mouth ---  who pushed so hard for the KGB- commie guy for NYC Council in the 2023 election  ---  just like Sliwa did ???

Barsamian and McCabe strut their stuff at Clavin's after Brian Fox had been converted into pelletized "spam in a can" or "Fox in a Box" at an undisclosed location

 

Here are a pair of mamalukes doin' their best imitations  of Uriah Heeps of selfless devotion to the memory of Brian Fox played-out to "Brian Fox's family"  ---  brought in from some far away tinsel town central casting agency  ---  and suddenly referred to as his "adopted family"

Dikran "Lurch" Barsamian to Liam McCabe: 
"Are you sure that none of the covered-up Fox record,
vices and lifestyle stuff will get back to us ???"

Liam McCabe to Dikran "Lurch" Barsamian:
"Not now, you lunk-head !!! This is neither the time
 nor the place for that sort of 'political' discussion,
just say something nice about Fox, if you can; 
if not, don't worry, I have a lot of Brian Fox
flim-flam that has worked before, and I'm 
 sure that it will work great for this too...."

"I just wanted to say a couple of words 

to show everyone how well I could 

wring my hands like this, and that butter 

wouldn't melt in my mouth; also that I 

have nothing at all to hide, or even to be 

a bit nervous about when it comes to 

talking about Brian Fox's life or death, 

especially with respect to any of those 

lingering questions concerning the 

cause of his death."

                  ---  Liam McCabe

Well, wasn't that all very special !!! 

Just don't let them get away with this exploitation and mockery of a real person that might have been called "Brian Fox" or not, and what the real life and death of this person might have been all about.....

What was the real point of last Sunday's so-called "Memorial Visitation" at 12 Noon and the so-called "Prayer Service" with a rabbi at 2 PM at Clavin's ???  

Everything about it was synthetic and contrived to again recreate a suitable persona to be exploited just one more time by the usual suspects, with a special guest appearance by the adopteds.....

But instead of something useful to bury Fox once and for all for the Brooklyn GOP officials and their main political consultant, there were suddenly more questions about who the real "Brian Fox" might have been  ---  how he chose to live and how he actually died  ---  and/or even if there there ever was a real "Brian Fox" that was active in Bay Ridge GOP politics from 2020 through 2023, and was a Brooklyn GOP candidate in 2021 and 2022.....

Well, it's now sort of a semi-official, ersatz, jerry-rigged, and court-ordered fait-accompli --- Dikran "Lurch" Barsamian and his crew of retired cops and assorted other kinds of conmen and grifters have been intalled by a Democrat Judge to be the bunch of clowns selected by Jerry Kassar to run the Brooklyn GOP --- even though they all broke the NYS Election Law to get it done

Here is Dikran Barsamian recently performing one of his many ultra vires functions for the NYS Conservative Party  >>>  this time by giving the 2024 GOP endorsement to a continuing-not-properly-vetted Lester Chang  ---  who still has not fully established his residence in the Brooklyn Assembly District that he nominally represents in Albany:

Court-appointed, Kassar-chosen Brooklyn GOP Chairman "Lurch" Barsamian,
with 49th Assembly District Elected Republican member Lester Chang,
and Ross Brady - Conservative Party Treasurer - standing-in for
 NYS Conservative Party Chairman Jerry Kassar and
 Kings County Conservative Chair - "Fran"

Based upon a recent ruling coming out of the NYS Supreme Court, Kings County, it would appear that the NYS Election Law, and the rules of the NYS and Kings County Republican Party are just a bunch of blah, blah , blah.....  and the Barsamian Team emerged as the winner of the vote at a recent Republican County organizational meeting, unlawfully called, insufficient notice-given, and improper proxies-sent-out by the former Chairman Ted Ghorra, but where it couldn't be fairly concluded that Ghorra did any of it "intentionally."  (Please note, however, "... Call me maybe...", the NYS Supreme Court, Appellate Division for the Second Departement soon will be looking at this a little closer)

FYI  ---   here is the official Kings County Conservative Party release that went with the pic above.....

"Brooklyn ConservativeParty...   Saturday, November 18, 2023 at 11:19 AM...    Brooklyn Conservative Party proud to support the re-election of Lester Chang. Chang is the Conservative and Republican endorsed 49 AD Assemblymember. Ross Brady, Brooklyn Conservative Party Chair represented our Chairwoman Fran Vella-Marrone and our Executie Committee at a packed event at Pacificana restaurant. Richie Barsamian, Kings County Republican Chairman, enthusiastically endorsed Chang on the Republican line forming a united effort to re-elect Lester Chang...."     [https://www.facebook.com/brooklynconservativeparty]

It'll take more than a little paint to cover up what was there to see about Brian Fox --- both in life and in death.....

 

Some people hope that a small piece of representational art like this:

will cover the body that has been swept under the rug and momentarily looked like this:

Doesn't what really happend to Brian Fox still very much need to be told ???

Brian Fox died very much how and like he lived.  And, right now, all aspects of the man appear only as a succession of disjointed images, all of which  appear to be incomplete, quite out-of-focus, corrupted, smudged, sullied  >>>  and very intentionally concealed and/or misdescribed by those that claimed to have known him, and been his nearest and dearest "friend(s)".....

More than eight days have passed.....

 

Thanks to folks like Liam McCabe and John Seravalli here's what we at this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island pretty surely can say is NOT TRUE about the "Brian Fox" who was found dead in his appartment near 79th Street and Third Avenue on November 8th...  

---  Brian "...passed away quietly in his sleep...."  >>>  Nah !!!  That is very unlikely (in spite of it being touted, posted and re-posted over and over again by YKW ( who BTW,  has never explained in the slightest how he came to know and/or conclude that very special and particular detail of information about the circumstances of Brian Fox's death)

---  Brian "...  [w]as an ordinary person from the neighborhood, [who] entered politics...."   >>>  Nah !!!!!  That was never established in two successive campaigns during 2021 and 2022, because nobody could ever give a good and truthful account of where Brian Fox came from or what he really did for a living before running for office in 2021 and 2022

---   Even the nickname  "Fox Man"  that was used a lot in the Liam McCabe generated obits was probably lifted from a real "Brian Fox"  ---  who really is a legitimate business man  and entrpreneur, and a mover and shaker in the IT industry and related businesses   >>>  but who is not the same person as the "Brian Fox" that passed away a week ago Wednesday in Brooklyn

---  If Brian had indeed "... ended up acquiring a great quantity of friends... along the way..." and  "It was a blessing for both [Christine Sasto McCabe and Liam McCabe] to be able to call [Brian] a close friend, and... as near to a part of our extended family as anyone could..."  >>>  then why did Brian Fox end up like this: 

 

Where was the caring as Brian's condition got worse and worse ?  Where was the intervention ???  Where was the common decency ?????

Remember that Liam McCabe is the only person, who has been identified and has admitted to  >>>  talking to Brian on the day that he died. Why has everything that Liam McCabe has said about this particular "Brian Fox" and about his death at home alone last week raised more questions than providing and closure or peace for anybody involved with the man; and anybody looking into this terrible episode of Fox's troubled existence ???????

 

 

These people didn't make themselves victims --- but they did participate and cooperate in their own victimhood

 

Yes and No !!!  
One was described as a "Teddy Bear" in the Drive-by Obituarues following his untimely and, as yet unexplained, death.....

The other was quoted as saying that he identified-with and was comforted-by things like Teddy Bears

Maybe so !!!!!   But the arrangement between these two guys was the result of outside juxtaposition, manipulation, and exploitation for an amalgam of political ends and personal pecuniary gain  ---  against all odds, their arrangement lasted for years.....  But was it good for either one of them ???

                                                

Say what ?????      

Well, here is a "before" photo of Bistreich 

and a "before" photo of Brian Fox

Fox with the Rundells in happier days 
before the ravages of Brooklyn
GOP  & Conservative Party
politics and other stuff
left Brian broken
and alone

for comparison.....

Forget about the sturm und drang of Brian Fox's last day or days  ---  and even the spinning-spinning-spinning by Liam McCabe on that last day and the days following.  Leave that to the ME and police investigators.....

Also forget about the grift by Michael Bistreich and his mom ( $850,000 gross --  but probably well below $500,000 net)....

The real human tragedy and scandals here are the way that Fox and Bistreich both had been used and abused by the people they trusted the most  ---  the likes of Kassar, McCabe, Seravalli, and their women's auxiliary Vella-Marrone and  Moore (since Bistreich's mom, Kathie Addeo Bistreich. is an intrinsic part of the Bistreich component, there is nothing auxiliary about her at all).

Who had been doing it for the money, who for the politics, and who for some of both is becoming clearer every day.

That's why Kassar and McCabe want a lid on YKW's casket ASAP, along with the on-the-sidelines buddies and somebodies, like Golden and Ghorra  ---  because the Fox death  >>>  the Fox scandal  >>>  everybody else's scandal in the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party  >>>  and their favored and so-often-recommended paid consultants, probably the biggest scandal of all, wrt Fox and everything else.....

Remember, when in doubt  >>>  "It's all about the money."

It looks like some of those that say they were close to him and cared about him >>> just want to give Brian Fox the "Deep Six" --- and then move-on in one quick hurry with no questions asked.....

 

Why is Liam McCabe trying so hard to keep a lid on all things  "BRIAN FOX"   ---   basically, this is all that McCabe wants you to know:  

"Brian Fox, a Republican who twice sought elected office in southern Brooklyn, died November 9, 2023 at age 34....  The Bay Ridge resident died at home in his sleep, according to Liam McCabe...."                          [[[ SIC >>> Clavin Funeral Home inaccurately qouting the Brooklyn Reporter  ---  Brooklyn Reporter gives the date of death as November 8, 2023,  ]]] 

   

Along with some "Hearts and Flowers" and "Kind Hearts and Coronets"

So many questions.....
Still no answers
from McCabe
   [[[ pictures from one of the many swag obits]]] 

What is inescapable is that Lian McCabe spoke to Brian Fox on Novemeber 8th  ---  possibly a short time before he died.....   Also that Liam does know many more facts about the death of Brian Fox  >>>  AND THE SURROUNDING CIRCUMSTANCES OF FOX'S DEATH THAN HE IS TELLING THE PUBLIC

If you see him at Clavin's today or tomorrow  ---  be sure to ask Liam what he knows but ain't sayin' about Brian and Wednesday, the day after election day.....

If he's a little dodgy, just come out and ask it plain:  "Liam, it was about the money  ---  wasn't it  ???"

And make no mistake,  there's no way that Liam is any kind of a victim here;  Liam creates victims, but he never is one himself.

VERY SAD --- VERY TRAGIC --- VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED..... It's too bad, but Brian Fox cannot Rest in Peace >>> YET

 

There has been a lot of clap-trap and crocodile tears for Brian Fox  ---  BUT   ---  nobody is calling this what it so obviously is  >>>  A VERY SUSPICIOUS DEATH UNDER VERY SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES

This bit is from Liam McCabe's Meta-FB page  ---  and it  contains a lot of sand  >>>  and McCabe intends to throw some of that sand into our eyes because he has the most to hide:

"Liam McCabe...  Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 6:28 PM...  

         ...."                                       

                                                  [[[ https://www.facebook.com/BkLiam/ ]]]

However, this Twitter (X) item is purportedly by the very same Liam Ambrose McCabe, and it is somewhat more interesting both for what it reveals, as well as for what it says and doesn't say; it appeared on Thursday, November 9, 2023 at 2:51 PM.....  

[[[https://twitter.com/ThomasHBROOLYN/status/1722703397755687077/photo/1 ]]] :

For some comparison, this is a little of the early reporting on Brian Fox's death with all of the clap-trap and crocodile tears removed:

Brian Fox... Some thoughts on his passing  ---  and a problematic cause of death   

>>>  Some in the Bay Ridge community are grappling with a sense of some surprise and for some loss as the news spreads of the "untimely passing" of Brian Fox, a former New York City Council candidate, and larger-than-life dharacter. Fox’s unexpected departure occurred under enexplained circumstances at his Bay Ridge apartment.....

Brian Fox wasn’t a typical politician;  and what some called  Brian’s near-victory in the city council race of 2021 had many thinkking that he might have had a future in Brooklyn Republican politics; however a crushing defeat in 2022 ended all of that.

The news of Brian’s passing has reverberated through the Bay Ridge community, prompting many more questions than answers about who might have been around him at the end to intervene, if possible; and what might have actually led to his death and/or been the immediate cause of it. Brian Fox’s unexpected departure serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the impact of the rather unexpected loss one individual can have on a small inner circle of collaborators each with a different detailed point of view..

Needless to say, not long before Brian Fox's death, Brian Fox was closely involved with several other well-know Bay Ridge pols, consultants and others gathering and distributing large amounts of cash; and there has not been a complete accounting for and of those funds. The fact that Brian's untimely death occurred at the very end of all that gathering and distributing is only one of the suspicious aspects of this case.  Let's see if an autopsy makes things seem even more suspicious.

BROOKLYN REPUBLICANS ... this is a wakeup call >>> part of your insanity is doing the same things over and over --- getting worse and worse results --- and then not changing things

 

THIS SAYS EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

"Justin Brannan...  Wednesday, November 8, 2023 at 6:30 PM...  From Bay Ridge to the Boardwalk, from Shore Road to Surf Avenue, last night, your voice was heard. This was a big win, not just by the numbers, but for the values we hold dear: love over hate, hope over fear, and truth over lies. Onward. THANK YOU!!! [heart imogi]....

                                                        (Brannan's Meta-Facebook, 11-8-2023) 

You can forget anything and everything else.....  Brannan and his Bay Ridge Dems just cleaned your clock and ate your lunch  >>>  right where you live  [Just like Vinny Gentile and Sal Albanese have been doing since 1982  

[[[  YES  ---  That long !!!!! ]]]

It's time for a big change  ---  dump the snakes and scoundrels dragging you down for only a little less than half a century  >>>  the Kings County Conservative Party.....

If not now, when  ?????

Vito LaBella provides the "Rosetta Stone" to unravel the anti-Republican 2023 campaign conspiracy in Brooklyn by Jerry Kassar's and Fran Vella-Marrrone's Conservative Party

 

Here's the complete and very recent Vito LaBella November 8th posting on Meta-Facebook:

"Vito LaBella is with Gerard Kassar and 11 others ...  Wednesdaym November 8, 2023  at 2:23 PM...  

The list of people I need to thank is way too long for one email, but I have to try. Of course, at the top of the list is my exceptional wife Kim, who used all of her professional experience to help shepherd this effort—followed by our three kids, Evan, Dylan, and Morgan, who had to share mom for these last seven months.

I want to thank Fran Vella-Marrone, the Conservative Party Chair, along with her Executive Board, Ross Brady, Chung Dick, David Ryan, Nanci Roden, and Hedy Aldina, as well as State Chair Gerard Kassar, for their help and support. Shout out and thanks as well to previous Brooklyn GOP Chair Ted Ghorra and the Current Chair, Retired Police Officer and friend of 30 years Richard Barsamian, for their efforts.

There are dozens of individual supporters whose efforts were invaluable, and I am genuinely sorry that I can't list everybody. I need to recognize Pastor Peter Gu and his wife, Lilly Gu, for everything they did to help with this campaign.

While the outcome may not have been a win, it was NOT a defeat.

There is still work to be done, and as I said many times throughout this campaign, "I'm not going anywhere."

Please follow me on Facebook, X (Twitter), and subscribe to my new audio and video YouTube Channel, Vito LaBella, Fighting for New York (https://www.youtube.com/playlist...) to stay involved and join our movement to keep our families safe and fight for our city. I will be sharing some exciting updates there in the very near future.

I congratulate City Councilmember Elect Susan Zhuang on her victory and wish her good luck as she represents the 43rd district on the City Council as a member of the Common Sense Caucus. I once again share my belief that through hard work and building bridges, we can fight for safer streets that protect families and retirees, sane zoning that protects the character of our neighborhoods, and an educational system that provides an appropriate education for every child growing up in our city.

Thank you.

Warmest Regards,

Vito LaBella [[[ https://www.facebook.com/vito.labella.37/posts/pfbid02m47Rpsaq5qfeHpnoDEGfiKkbUrww6CBJvM6hGK4LYTftgJkgxqjQS9XzDBcmDs5rl ]]]... "

(W/ link to >>> https://www.youtube.com/playlist...)

We will be making full use of Mr. LaBella's admissions to hunt down, "out"  ---  and punish everybody involved in the massive Brooklyn anti-Republican conspiracy of 2023  ---  but especially the Republican sell-outs to the Conservative Party raiders.

It's even better the next morning --- in the warmth of bright sunshine --- with the added radiance of a redeemed soul and a pure heart.....

 

We here on this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island feel vindicated and and gratified that we were on the side of the Saint Michael and the good angels, that did battle against the Legion of the Lost following the Prince of Darkness Kom-Kom-Kon Kassar and his filthy minions who held up the Rus-spy Ari Kagan as the False-Savior for Brookyn Republicans and Conservatives

To bad these cheats, liars, and cretins aren't lined-up
>>> for a proper and richly deserved political execution <<<
but there will be time for all of that, soon enogh

Yes, it's great even the next day  ---  seeing them repost all the same pictures of the same tragic moment for them  ---  and same glorious moment for the rest of us  ---  It was not yet 10:00 PM when this murder of crows, bad guys all, had to throw in the towel in abject defeat and humiliation

Meanwhile, the man with a plan sat back and smiled, with his cocktail of expensive liquors, in his espensive easychair, in his espensive home by the water  ---  then he got to work on the next phase of the plan, even without having to leave his expensive home by the water

Ah, good times  ---  good times.....

Ari Kagan stink bomb knocks out the last bit of stuffing from the good old turkeys >>> Jerry Kassar, Fran Vella-Marrone, Marty Golden --- and the not so good new turkey >>> "Lurch"

 

Scary results for the very scary man.....

Will he get blamed for this mess ???

The only winners were the grifters getting their beaks-full of matching funds

With 2024 just around the corner, can the next shit show be an even bigger disaster  ---  with these clowns and losers running the Brooklyn GOP and Conservative Party  ---  who knows  ?!?!?!?!

With Republicans in NYC picking up City Council seats in other outer boroughs, the question of the evening is whether "Lurch" will get left in the lurch, and holding the bag for a very bad showing indeed in Brooklyn  ---  in the most watched race in the City of New York ?????

It is Election Day in America --- and that has special meaning this year in one particular district where far too many people are working way too hard to convince others that Ari Kagan is a good American and worthy of a vote by Republicans and Conservatives when he manifestly is not

 

There is suddenly another brouhaha and kerfuffle over the source and real significance of the particular political material immediately below

   

We here at this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island have been watching the back-and-forth about this and related matters for months.....  And we long ago concluded that all of this represents a real grass-roots campaign to write in Kathy Khatari's name on ballots for CIty Council throughout the 47th Council District on Election Day  ---  and that there was a time when Rosie Rizzo did personally back that effort  ---  and broadcast it as strong as she could to the whole world.....

However  ---  whatever the above item might be or whom it might be from  ---  what it does say is useful advice to any real Republicans and Conservative Party members, and all other traditional Amercan voters that vote for the candidates running on those lines  

So, be sure to heed this message very recently quoted by the NY Post  >>>

"Remember to write in Katherine Khatari for City Council on Tuesday, November 7th. We need a pro-Trump Republican to fight back against the radical left, not a Democrat [and Commie] in disguise like Ari Kagan...."

You see, Ari Kagan is a deep-down-died-in-the-wool Soviet-style KGB-groomed and military-educated Communist, who was formally trained to become a Soviet State Security operative and Soviet Army Information Officer/Journalist, in which he admitted having served. And when he did so serve, it was under the chain of command of  the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Soviet Army.  With the formal collapse of the Soviet Union, Kagan was then very likely given post-Soviet deep cover sleeper assignments for the KGB or GRU, or other successor FSU state security agencies  >>>  like the SVR, FSB, and FSO  ---  either for the Russian Federation directly, or through the equivelent agencies operated by Belorus.....  Given all that, and Kagan's inadequate and evasive answers to questions raised about all of it for almost two decades now, nothing else about him has any relevance or significance.....

It has been well-said that there are many reasons not to vote for Justin Brannan  ---  we think that Tom Hilton's list is now up to about eighty-four (84) such reasons.....  However, there is absolutley no moral or practical reason whatsover to cast a vote for Ari (Arcady) Kagan the  ---  KOMMIE & KGB KID in the 2023 election for NY City Council.....

So, one last time  >>>

"Remember to write in Katherine Khatari for City Council on Tuesday, November 7th. We need a pro-Trump Republican to fight back against the radical left, not a Democrat [and Commie] in disguise like Ari Kagan...."

Real Dirty Trick is the New York Post spin on a story obviously fed by dirty tricksters associated with Kassar and Kagan --- in an attempt to stymie a real grassroots campaign to write in Republican Kathy Khatari's name for City Council in the 47th Council District

 

Interestingly, both Kassar and Kagan are both quoted prominently in the NY Post article  ---  "De Blasio aide emerges as dirty trickster in south Brooklyn city council race"  >>>  an indicator that they are the likely source of the article  ---  and possibly the real dirty tricksters behind it all

NOTE: IN SPITE OF INNUENDO AND SLEIGHT-OF-THE-HAND TRICKS TO MAKE IT SEEM SO  >>>  NOTHING IN THE NY POST ARTICLE CONNECTS THIS "DIRTY TRICK" TO BRANNAN OR HIS CAMPAIGN IN ANY WAY

Make no mistake, weeks ago, it was this independent Republican blog for Brooklyn and Staten Island that had predicted that there would be a revival of the Kathy Khatari write-in campaign much closer to the election  ---  and we had no knowledge then that anybody named "Jon Paul Lupo" had been or would be involved in it  >>>  in fact, our sources about that tactic and plan were all anti-Kagan, anti-Golden, and anti- Ghorra and Kassar Republicans.....

According to the NY Post coverage  >>> "A former top aide to ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio has emerged as a key figure pulling political tricks in the final days of the heated race pitting Brooklyn Council member Justin Brannan against  Ari Kagan....  A group called Verrazano Victory Alliance has sent a text to registered Republican voters urging them to vote for a write-in candidate, Republican Katherine Khatari, instead of GOP nominee Kagan, in a bid to split the GOP vote and aid Democrat Brannan in Tuesday’s election....  Verrazano Victory Alliance, an independently run pro-Brannan political action committee, was created by Jon Paul Lupo, a pal of Brannan and top aide to former Mayor Bill de Blasio who helped the former mayor’s ill-fated campaign for president...."  (See "De Blasio aide emerges as dirty trickster in south Brooklyn city council race" by 

Carl Campanile, 11-5-2023, NY Post/ Metro       

[ https://nypost.com/2023/11/05/metro/de-blasio-aide-emerges-as-dirty-trickster-in-brannan-kagan-brooklyn-race ]).

Nothing could be more inaccurate, incomplete, and deceptive.....

This is lazy NY Post-style journalism at its worst  ---  ie.,  of printing a canned story without really digging into the real soure of the real facts driving that story.

Here are the real facts  >>>  Kathy Khatari has been especially active in the final days of the campaign and there is a write-in campaign afoot to write her name in as the only real Republican running in the 47th Council District.

And because of all that, we here at this INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN BLOG FOR BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND do urge all real Republicans and conservatives in the 47th Council District to heed this message recently quoted by the NY Post:

"Remember to write in Katherine Khatari for City Council on Tuesday, November 7th. We need a pro-Trump Republican to fight back against the radical left, not a Democrat in disguise like Ari Kagan...."
