Open Thread Wednesday

that’s actually funny, but the fast mounting amount of non ionizing radiation, RF, magnetic fields, (current carrying) electrostatics etc. with their wide range of seriously bionegative and psychoactive effects make no mistake IS a major health concern in this country. Hey, guys, were near or at a 50% cancer rate…I suggest everyone pay attention to what energetic products are being pumped into your family’s homes,,,,

Wow! Looks like I’m spot on.

Well, two little incidents, one of the Bilderberg meetings at Port Chester, Arrow wood, when I was asked to leave, one security guy had an M-16 aimed at my head, At the first Bilderberg held at Chantilly, the cops grabbed a woman reporter in front of all the media slammed her to the ground and hog-tied her. This is fully on Youtube.

So your snide remarks aside, there ARE news outlets which are not advocacy journals who DO print truth and that is not without serious dangers.

But this forum should be limited to BH related subjects…

Do you know that there once was TWO Daniel Reeves markets in the Heights. One on Montague St and a smaller, pocket size DR on Clinton St near St Charles. You could select from like 10 brands of world class’s marmalades, 8 or 9 brands of teas, local baked brands of pastry and the people on both sides of the counter were actually civilized humans.

If the goal is only to make the open space live up to its name, the cost of that could be covered by participatory budgeting, which I think is just beginning to ramp up again. (I recently got an email from Councilman Levin that I admit to not reading.)

Your sanity has been discussed many times before, and…

According to a September 24, 1973 story in the New York Times (p. 37, New York Edition), the Pierrepont Hotel, where Man’s Country was located, was owned by a partnership in which Robert and Bernard Sillens were the principals. The NYT article and other sources (“Built to Last: 100+ Year-Old Hotels in New York,” self-published by Stanley Turkel) indicate that the Sillens owned several hotels in Manhattan and had minority interests in others. In the case of the Pierrepont, the Sillens leased the hotel to “Abraham Butnick, who, with a brother, also owns and operates the Towers, another Brooklyn Heights hotel.” According to the Times, “The Sillenses said they had remonstrated with Mr. Butnick on several occasions about conditions at the Pierrepont, with little success.” I could not find any reference to ownership of 55 Pierrepont Street by the Catholic Church at the time when Man’s Country was in operation.

The post is clearly horror fiction, so the author has created a fictional street. I also thought the Harry Potter reference was obvious.

The Key Food on Montague no longer participates in most of the sales that the other Key Food stores have. Montague St. Key Food now produces their very own sales brochure, which has far less on sale that than other Key Foods in the area, such as the one on Atlantic and Clinton and the Henry Street Key Food in Cobble Hill. In addition, many of the cheaper generic “Key Food” brand products have disappeared from the Montague Street store only to be replaced by higher priced items. Guess they are catering to the changing demographics moving into the neighborhood. Just take a walk to the Atlantic Key Food and look at how many items are on sale compared to the Montague Street store. I guess it costs a lot to maintain the creepy “Gregory” dummy!

Because sex clubs–and particularly those devoted to gay men–are inherently disgusting, right Jeffrey?

It’s amazing how down-the-line, check-every-box your authoritarian bigotry is. It’s like reading a DSM entry.

I would suggest you do a background on the above individuals. But even if you don’t feel you have to make yourself familiar with even the most basic backgrounds and ONLY want to consider the totally visible effects of these “gentleman’s” “management” of this and other properties which WE had to live with on a daily basis, this was a horror. The crime, prostitutes, the ugly and indeed dangerous types we had to live with on a day-in and day out basis.

I never said that the arch dioces owned the building. But it IS true that in many Catholic circles, there was a very serious debate as to whether the church should be in contact with, let alone in negotiations with any of these individuals. What was good about all this indeed disgusting and alarming conditions was that what happened during this era led to federal confiscation of crime controlled or involved properties laws and policies. This has resulted in many properties taken out of the hands of criminal and/or irresponsible owners and used for public good, like drug enforcement.

Yes, I know, from the distance of years certain people blithely say in their vapid and dishonest level of thinking that anyone who considered these outrageous conditions is some kind of bigot or terrible person.
In circles like assembled here I’m sure that’s readily accepted thinking…..

You know folks, you really have to take a LOT of what appears here (with the exception of what I write) as being, well,”non-serious” in nature. Unless YOU want to end up a DSM classification.

So, please, take what a lot of what these posters say to me with a huge grain of salt……

And panda’s graphic comment, is much better. (is Judge Judy is a relative? Hmmm…)
