Strange Bedfellows

Council House directors and administrators use religion and ideology as parallel means to achieve common goals to the detriment of other political, economic, or religious, individuals or groups. They dominate senior citizens to gain power, money, and social status. Directors and managers establish separate methods but parallel, unlawful paths. Directors use religion and managers use ideology to achieve their suspect goals.

The directors rely upon a set of religious beliefs (Judaism). They misuse values and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. They purse a cause or principle with zeal or conscientious devotion established through heredity.

The managers rely upon ideology (neo-fascism). They unlawfully use the social needs and aspirations of an individual, a group, a class, or a culture based upon a political, economic, or other system. They have no heredity.

Both groups embrace methods that treat people as either gods or vermin. Those categories provide a valid assessment when used to describe individuals. They reek of control and condescension when applied to groups of people.

At Council House, a consortium of Jews and neo-fascists commonly advocates extremism to achieve similar goals. They disregard the rights and aspirations of other people who do not subscribe to their beliefs - the quintessence of tyranny. They acquiesce to the same behavior that they criticize in others.

The consortium employs domination and supremacist strategies to achieve mastery over tenants in an apartment block for elderly people beyond lawful landlord-tenant relationships. Both landlords and managers tyrannize tenants. Each group uses absolute power and zero-tolerance policies exercised in an unjust and cruel way. They deny due process of law and pervert justice to their own ends. History has shown that absolute power always corrupts absolutely - it certainly has corrupted both directors and managers at Council House.

At Council House, neo-fascism has two parallel facets. The wealthy directors rely upon religious extremism and the less wealthy administrators indulge in ideological fanaticism. Mutually, they have adopted mind-sets focused upon self-aggrandizing and financially rewarding outcomes. This makes them strange but dangerous bedfellows.

Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. [01]

The two groups have allied themselves in similarly abusive and bigoted pursuits based upon financial reward but with different religious or ideological bents. They have adopted separate policies applied equally to the detriment of the multiethnic and impoverished people whom the taxpayer has made it possible for them to serve. Amorally, both groups perceive themselves as God while they perceive their charges as vermin. They have formed an unholy alliance. [Institutional Madness]

Anti-Semitism has ravaged society for centuries as a horrible disease from which nobody is immune. Enlightened people flirt with infection. It provides an evil fascination and gives personal satisfaction to those who would control others. Anti-Semitic Semitism probably presents an even greater evil than anti-Semitism itself.

That condition exists among directors at Council House, a government financially-assisted, independent-living, apartment block for senior citizens in Seattle, Washington. They employ amoral, unaccredited people to do their bidding. These proxies or straw men work diligently to cover up the crimes committed by their mentors.

Inevitably, proxies end up as scapegoats and provide insurance for their mentors. Meanwhile, the directors practice a kind of assimilative mobility by deliberately creating a confusing dichotomy. That dichotomy distances them from the corruption that will eventually give them large financial rewards. It may also lead to their downfall and (if any justice exists) to their prosecution.

They do not mix socially. In fact, from a social perspective they despise each other but have a common need - money. The directors have created a cultist milieu that gives the impression of solidarity and an illusion of divine inspiration proscribed by established theology.

When this author commenced his doctoral work at Rensselaer, a professor explained to PhD candidates that they must "behave like Blacks trying to gain admittance to a Jewish country club to obtain an advanced degree at Rensselaer”. At first, that statement sounded perverse and bigoted. Later, after experiencing the political machination that existed at Rensselaer (1985) and experienced similar abusive treatment at Council House (1999) it seems that the professor made quite a profound statement. He had, perhaps unknowingly, defined anti-Semitic Semitism.

Later, the professor described the corrupt provost and the trustees as a "Jewish mafia" intent on totalitarian rule. That rule precluded both Jews and Blacks with normal expectations and moral backgrounds from achieving their goals unless they submitted to humiliation, degradation, and blackmail - a sort of inverse bigotry.

Anti-Semitic Semites pretend that they have become “just some of the goys". They loathe Gentiles but assimilate with them six days a week. Anti-Semitic Semites hate their Jewishness but fear assimilation - a finality that makes them pariahs among Jews. They have the moral values of neither Jew nor Gentile and hate themselves. They have learned the "goy" ploy by simultaneously working both sides of the street.

As with Germany during the 1930s, Council House directors and administrators use proxies to silence dissent. The directors use managers and the managers use Kapos (thugs). They jail reporters and dissenters for exposing corruption or complaining about abuse then use claims of anti-Semitism as a defense. Their Kapos act as vigilantes to support those claims [Noblesse Oblige].

In their mind, anyone who comments adversely about Jewish (racial), Zionist (nationalist), or Judaic (religious), behavior they brand as anti-Semitic. They find that a convenient way to defend their own self-hate and to cover up their violent policies. [Court-Facilitated Terror]

The directors have centralized socioeconomic authority under Stephen M., an administrator who imposes a neo-fascist ideology upon residents. This violates federal law at this US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) financially-assisted residence for senior citizens. Taxpayers have financially supported Council House for more than twenty-five years.

Residents have demanded proof of unsubstantiated rumors and demanded written evidence supporting defamatory statements that Council House employees make but to no avail. HUD regulations forbid intimidation or coercion of residents but Stephen M. continues to defame and blackmail them publicly and privately among relatives, colleagues, and friends.

Noticeably, a directorial and administrative support group among residents comes from a Jewish elite that receives special privileges. That group does not include European Jews. European Jewish residents (some of them European holocaust survivors) have attempted to expose the racist and discriminatory behavior that exists between directors and managers at Council House. However, their pleas for equal treatment and fairness for both themselves and black residents have fallen upon deaf ears. Stephen M. has constructively evicted several of them for complaining about unfair treatment. The situation has now reached proportions where residents have started to employ attorneys to protect their rights.

Ironically, Stephen M. (a goy) publicly announced that he had filed a complaint with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Seattle. He claimed to have filed charges with ADL about a resident. This continued a retaliatory campaign to establish false claims of anti-Semitism. A reporter had written about M.’s failure to comply with federal regulations and his neo-fascism so he wanted to kill the messenger.

Stephen M. apparently used a Jewish resident (Knate S. who has a bipolar condition) and an atheist (Felippe Jacques) as straw men. They apparently conspired to write articles and letters to Jewish publications, filed false reports with ADL, and created hate among a few susceptible Jewish residents. This follows a pattern or practice by M. who has repeatedly set up fantastic strategies then used straw men to implement them. [Trials of Leon Harris]

ADL director Brian David Goldberg failed properly to respond to questions about Council House allegations. That led several people to believe that ADL runs kangaroo courts to support harassment. Kangaroo courts have no legal standing in a democracy.

M. made the following tape-recorded public statement (11 Aug 00). Note that in consecutive sentences he appears to contradict himself:

A certain resident [clearly targeting the journalist who taped the meeting] we have reported to the Anti-Defamation League because of comments about Jewish people and about using Nazi tactics and they are investigating that. We take it very, very seriously and I want you to know that I have heard this racism issue a lot but no one ever, ever comes to me with a specific example that we can address.

A request to Goldberg about M.’s complaint met with an unsatisfactory response. Goldberg begged the question. He refused to answer questions directly about the Council House complaint. He gave the impression that he colludes with attorneys to run kangaroo courts when ADL receives complaints of anti-Semitism. [Hornet Nests]

Stephen M. claimed publicly that “we” reported a resident for comments about Jewish people. According to Goldberg, that report alleged anti-Semitism and harassment. However, Goldberg used weasel words to evade addressing the issue. Effectively, he denied an accused person the constitutional right to face his accuser. He wrote:

No formal discrimination complaint has been filed with our office as of the date of this e-mail. However we are investigating allegations of anti-Semitism and harassment by a resident. Any formal discrimination complaint that we do receive will immediately be forwarded to our legal council and will thus become privileged communication. I am sure that if a formal complaint is made against you that we will be contacting you during the course of our investigation. [Emphasis added]

Later, Goldberg ignored a request for clarification that questioned his statement:

Does this mean anti-Semitism and harassment practiced by a resident or allegations made by a resident?
Do you mean by privileged communication that you do not inform respondents immediately that you accept any kind of complaint against them?
Has Council House or any other person filed a complaint of any kind against [a journalist] with ADL?
Please send a copy of the promulgated procedures relative to complaints of this nature.

Goldberg’s failure properly to respond clearly indicates that ADL must have considered the complaint frivolous. Yet Goldberg did not have the courtesy or respect to address the issue or provide a conclusion. He thereby tabled the matter which allowed Stephen M. to continue using claims of anti-Semitism to intimidate even more residents.

Could that relate to the fact that a Jew filed the defamatory and false accusation in collusion with the neo-fascist Stephen M.?
Did the all-Jewish board of directors support ADL in a cover up of this obvious abuse of power?

In an analogous straw-man situation, Nazis singled out Jews and some other nationals to head work gangs in concentration camps. They often chose them from a criminal element. In return for their services and informing on other prisoners those “Kapos” received preferential treatment. They frequently brutalized other prisoners. This significantly describes the peculiar relationship among Stephen M. (a neo-fascist), Knate S. (bipolar Jew), and Felippe Jacques (anti-Semitic atheist), an evil triumvirate that projects its sickness onto others through intimidation at Council House. [Mindful Madness]

Felippe Jacques sprinkles his writing with patently anti-Semitic remarks. Despite those remarks, what J. has written about Knate S.’s mental condition contains an element of truth. Other people verified his contentions and inspection of his medical records validated it. Felippe Jacques wrote:

[Knate S.] is a mentally disturbed person, dysfunctional to the point that he cannot hold a job and sustain himself. He needs daily doses of medication in order to keep in check his mental disfunction [sic]. A by-polar [sic] he is subject to drastic mood changes, going from euphoria to depression within minutes.

Knate S. behaves like an anti-Semitic Semite (a Jew who hates his Jewishness) in his treatment of other Jewish residents. Like Stephen M., his hate and abuse predominantly extend to Jews of other than American birth. J, probably carried away by his neo-fascist ideology, wrongly describes and ascribes a jihad against the all-Jewish board of directors. His statement in itself could not distort the truth any more:

Actions Have Consequences. . . . the principal responsibility lies with the Board of Directors, a bunch of self-congratulating idiots and condescending morons with the distorted view proper to those who have a monistic perspective of life [world view that reality exists as a whole ascribed or described by a single concept]. In this case their Jewishness. I admire and congratulate you for your courage and fortitude in conducting this Jihad against those simplifiers [sic] and self-deluded cretins who sit in [sic] the Board of Council House.

The majority of Council House victims belong to the Jewish faith so the abuse does not define as a jihad - unless a revised definition of that term means theological differences among orthodox, conservative, and reform Jews.

Council House supported their ADL complaint with disinformation. Disinformation consists of a mixture of truth and lies used to make people insecure. This technique, cleverly used by Joseph Goebbels, helped the Nazis to gain control over the German people by coercing them to submit to an ideology. Then a lethargic populace destroyed itself through appeasement. Council House has effectively destroyed itself by a similar process.

Documents allegedly written and statements made under an oath by Stephen M., Audrey D., and Katrina M., use the same techniques. They have apparently organized a campaign to make residents fearful about losing their apartments through sale of the building and for other reasons. As landlord’s representatives, they used search and seizure techniques and other unlawful practices to intimidate tenants.

When J. quotes Judge Doerty, he picks up the perjury that he wrote himself. In other words, Doerty refused refutation then insanely seized upon the inane, unsupported rambling of this confessed neo-fascist, anti-Semite, misogynist, atheist, and misanthrope. He then wrote them into his findings. Jacques disingenuously seized on the neo-fascist situation obtaining at Council House to cover his anti-Semitism. He propagandized then projected his own feelings and beliefs onto others. He then manipulated Doerty’s stupidity and bias as a vehicle to mislead media representatives. [Noblesse Oblige]

The all-Jewish Council House board appears too stupid to understand what has transpired under their auspices and remain indifferent to it. Their attorneys have been apprised of the situation in a series of letters over several years. However, they prefer to jail the messenger instead of addressing the issues.

They run a neo-fascist farce using sociopathic managers hiding behind a hypocritical mask of sanity. They know full well that their indifference causes pain and suffering but they do not care - their personalities do not allow them to care. Unlike normal people, they never have doubts about their abilities because they do not care what happens as long as it does not adversely affect their income.

The allegations made against the directors relate to their secular abuse and religious intolerance toward residents of Council House. The pleas relate to a return to human decency and civil rights for senior citizens under their auspices. A growing number of residents demand an independent investigation by US General Accounting Office of both Council House and HUD-Seattle officials in this continuing scandal. The misuse and non-accountability to funding sources also the receipt and payment of extraordinary amounts of money needs both state and federal audit. [Agency Accountability]

Nmesis.


Judge James A. Doerty, Superior Court, State of Washington, issued two anti-harassment orders and contempt citations to censor this forum by prior restraint at the behest of Council House directors and their administrator. Mary Kay Becker, Washington Court of Appeals affirmed them. Washington Supreme Court reversed most of those decisions (30 Mar 06).
[Washington Supreme Court - Decision] [Background Information]

Using their financial power, the directors obtained SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) court orders and contempt citations using perjured testimony against the author of valid exposé. They then had him jailed in solitary confinement.

In this case, SLAPP consists of frivolous charges designed to bankrupt an opponent and create a prior restraint. The landlords have used this tactic on several occasions to try to cover up issues that affect all their tenants.

Doerty thwarted an appeal of his findings for more than five years by withholding court documents and other manipulation. The author/publisher claims judicial bias and arbitrary censorship that deny him his rights under the First Amendment to the US Constitution and Washington State Constitution. Doerty has challenged a principle journalism ethic - seek truth and report it - by denying a reporter’s First Amendment rights. Doerty then wrote biased decisions all without due process of law.

His findings enabled Council House directors to cover up crimes that they and their administrators allegedly committed. A Washington Supreme Court review has allowed the public to know the names of people involved in elder abuse. It will also give an ethical prosecutor an opportunity to consider felony charges of homicide by abuse against Council House directors and their staff. [Homicide by Abuse]

Homicide ranks as a class A felony punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in a state correctional institution or by a fine of fifty thousand dollars or both. Both the victim’s family and a Council House administrator benefitted financially by allegedly defrauding federal and state agencies prior to death of a resident. [Who Killed Jackie Nations?]

Doerty’s order precluded naming the people involved which forced redaction of copy pending review. Washington Supreme Court reversed the trial court decision which relieves restrictions on publishing details regarding resident deaths and other abuse.
