Election Fraud in Plain Sight: Why Neither Party Will Touch It
The book is live. The real fight is just beginning.
Well, that took way longer than expected.
Thank you all for your patience.
You can now read the first chapter of How to Protect Yourself From Fascists & Weirdos right here.
If you sign up to the Stupid Sexy Privacy newsletter—which is free to do—you will get a notification when the full text of the book goes live next week.
As I write this, I have ten pages left of copyedits to make, and then it’s done.
Posts on The Monroe Gazette will also resume next week, after I’ve handed off the manuscript to John Marshall Media. They’re recording and producing the audio edition of How to Protect Yourself From Fascists & Weirdos. The audiobook is the primary way to purchase this book, although I want you to know a free PDF and MP3 are always available. You just have to ask me for them.
From there, Stupid Sexy Privacy will have a new newsletter sent out once a month. I think committing to anything more than that right now is going to be too difficult.
I just don’t write fast enough, to be blunt.
And …
There’s this remaining question of what to do with The Monroe Gazette, since our original goal was achieved of ridding Orange County (temporarily, it would seem) of Tony Cardone.
And yes, we’ve put in a FOIL request over at Walden to see why they would hire someone accused of taking bribes and using the town’s finances to enrich themselves for over a decade as their interim village manager.
If I lived in Walden, I’d be pretty pissed off right now. It’s bad enough you’re getting killed at the grocery store and at the pump all over New York. Now imagine paying higher property taxes because this doofus found a new piggy bank to steal from.
Then again, if you live in Monroe, you’re pretty pissed off right now anyway.
The Richardson Administration, while not corrupt like Cardone and Dorey Houle’s administration, has its own problems. Mostly, that the new Supervisor does not know how to cooperate with others, and is often unreliable when giving her word. I also feel like CC’ing everyone in existence on every email and writing super long, sarcastic, emails is a poor way to communicate with other elected officials, but what do I know? I’m not on the Town Board. You have Mrs. Richardson to thank, or not thank, for that.
And then you have the situation in the Village of Monroe where it’s now like South Blooming Grove: A tiny group of real estate developers are in charge, and they’re going to use their new puppets to clear the way for more development and expansion. Not to mention, looser regulations. Meaning if I were you, I’d keep my eyes open for potential slum houses to pop up all over the place. Just like the kind Moche Halpern was running in Washingtonville. (Halpern’s pals were responsible for aiding the Melchiorrie administration’s electoral victory.)
And since we’re being blunt, here’s the issue as I see it: Not enough people in Southern Orange County, or Rockland, or Sullivan want to do what it will take to fix all this. Because the fix requires acknowledgement that the 14th Amendment only works when you apply it equally to everyone.
The second you start saying, “I want the Satmar to follow the rules, but not me.” Or the more common “But the ILLEGALS don’t deserve ANY rights!” you lose.
If you want everyone to be treated equally under the law, there can’t be exceptions.
If you don’t acknowledge this, you just look like a bigoted fool complaining about your neighbors.
I can’t fix that for you. No organization can.
What it will take is a whole lot of organizing, coalition building, going door to door with petitions, and just otherwise berating and obstructing many of our local officials (from Richardson and Melchiorrie to Skoufis, Brabanec, and Eachus, to Kathy Hochul herself) until they change their attitude. This requires time, patience, and commitment.
Something that has not been demonstrated to exist in our region for half a century. Instead you get people who are MOBILIZED, and they score a couple of wins, which results in … That’s right. Needing to get mobilized again and again and again every time there’s a problem to address. Instead of getting ORGANIZED and staying ORGANIZED to constantly apply the same kind of pressure our Haredi brothers and sisters do on our local and state government.
The attitude of both political parties around here is Move or Die. The way they see it, the Satmar are coming in, and you are either moving out or dying from old age. So, there’s really no rush or need for them to be responsive to you. You’re old and irrelevant as far as they’re concerned.
Do people around here want to do that? Do they want to get organized? It doesn’t seem like it.
Or it doesn’t seem like there’s enough of us.
How many times have I said, over the last year or so, that we just need thirty people in South Blooming Grove to go to a judge in order to get an audit done of the Village, since it’s clear Thomas DiNapoli has no interest in completing the one he’s alleged to still be working on?
A lot.
You know how many people I have? Seven. Maybe eight. Not 30.
So, I kind of feel like I’m pissing in the wind here with the local stuff. And with the release of the book, I’m much more focused on national and state level stuff elsewhere.
This is all a long way of saying that, once How to Protect Yourself From Fascists & Weirdos is out in the wild, I’m tempted to take two weeks off. From everything and everybody. And then when I come back, I’m going to just start writing on here about the federal court case I plan to file against South Blooming Grove.
Because election fraud is a major issue going into the 2026 midterm elections, and wouldn’t you know it? We happen to have an honest-to-God, factual and verifiable multi-year conspiracy to deprive 3,000 or so New Yorkers of their right to vote.
And the Democrats (Ryan, Schumer, Gilibrand. Hochul, James, Skoufis, etc.) don’t really want to do anything about it. First because it’s an election year for some, and second, see: “Move or die.”
And the Republicans (Trump, DOJ, Mike Johnson, Brabenec, Maher, Neuhaus, ect.) don’t want to do anything about it either.
I know because I’ve been in contact with people on the MAGA side of things, and the second they realize the Satmar are the ones responsible for the voter fraud, they won’t touch it either.
I can prove this to you.
You know how MAGA is going on and on about welfare fraud in Minnesota? Don’t you find it the least bit interesting that they’re not talking about Rockland County, Sullivan County, Orange County, and Lakewood, New Jersey?
If you can’t see that hypocrisy, I’m sorry. You’re brainwashed by the MAGA death cult. And only you can fix your brain and your heart in that situation.
I worry about my Satmar brothers and sisters because they have become allies of MAGA, and the white Christian nationalists see my fellow Jews on the Right as useful idiots. With them not realizing that the walls are closing in around them the more and more they align with people who would be better referred to as Nazis.
Bro, they’re going to turn on you the first chance they get.
Ask any number of Republicans in this election cycle who voted with Trump 99% of the time, and did ONE thing he didn’t like, causing them to get chased out office. You think you’re different? Well, you’re about to find out!
So, that’s what I’m thinking.
I said a while ago that I’d split off the local news coverage into a new, separate website. And I may do that, leaving this one to focus on the federal court case, and telling the story of South Blooming Grove from start to finish. Or at least 2021 from the takeover to 2025 and the phantom election. I think the ending of the book, barring an FBI raid this year, is that nobody bothered to do anything because doing something would have cost them politically and financially.
What better way to illustrate the point made in How to Protect Yourself From Fascists & Weirdos that we live in an oligarchy and not a democracy.
If there are any objections to this, you might want to tell me now. Otherwise, I feel pretty strongly that the next book is the South Blooming Grove book, which is essentially the court case I plan to file.
