BLACK REPARATION? BOSTON IS MULLING; CAN BITCHFIELD BE FAR BEHIND? … plus … GUEST COLUMN DETAILS BLM SCAM
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, WEDNESDAY FEB. 21, 2024) — In Tuesday’s Boston Herald, THE PLANET read a chilling story about the latest racial scam to gain traction, reparations.
Something called the New Democracy Coalition, a scary name if ever there was one, and the Boston People’s Black Reparation Commission (BPBRC) just announced they had concluded a series of meetings to decide how much to pressure public officials in this latest raid on the public treasury. A BPBRC spokesman said the starting figure would be $15 billion. You read it right: $15 billion with a “b” as a compensation for slavery, which Lincoln and Congress abolished on Jan. 31, 1865.
Reparation is based on the fictive fantasy that one can superimpose today’s standards on those that applied hundreds of years ago. If that is the case, then we need to pay reparation to every person on earth. The people paying reparations would do so by force, even though they had nothing to do with centuries-old injustice. The people receiving the money have not suffered as did their ancestors of centuries ago.
Reparation is what happens when scoundrels take control of public affairs, creating a new form of institutionalized racist injustice.
About a dozen cities are talking reparation. Will Bitchfield be next?

On a related note, we share this guest column by Sean Kerrvin, first published in The Patriot and reprinted here as a Special to THE PLANET.
Watchdogs questioned how Black Lives Matter (BLM) spent its money last year. The organization has raised millions of dollars since its inception all in the name of fighting racism.
BLM has its hands in various cookie jars as it works to further its causes while constantly raising money. What watchdogs uncovered is that it appears one hand is feeding the other when it comes to BLM finances
Questions surround the political action committee (PAC) associated with the primary BLM organization. Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showed that BLM spent the majority of its 2023 expenses paying the consulting firm owned by the treasurer of the PAC.
From the Daily Caller:
Black Lives Matter PAC paid $90,000 to Bowers Consulting Firm in 2023 for “strategic consulting services,” according to FEC disbursement filings. Shalomyah Bowers is both the treasurer of Black Lives Matter PAC and the founding president of Bowers Consulting Firm.
The twist is that, according to the FEC, treasurers like Bowers who handle the disbursement of funds for these super PAC organizations have legal authority to spend as they see fit. Bowers has her hands in both cookie jars when it comes to the BLM PAC and her own consulting firm.

——————————————————
FEC filings showed that Bowers Consulting Firm received about 61% of the $146,679 Black Lives Matter PAC spent in 2023. Much of the rest of the PAC’s expenses went to items such as legal fees, compliance services, payment processing fees, bank expenses, and about $10,000 on advertisements.
A donation page for the Black Lives Matter PAC claims donations received will “help us elect progressive community leaders, activists and working-class candidates fighting for Black liberation.” The claims of supporting leftist candidates doesn’t align with the story revealed in 2023 filings by the PAC.
FEC records showed that the PAC spent zero dollars to support or oppose candidates and zero dollars on transfers to candidates or other committees in 2023. After most of its expenses went to the treasurer’s consulting firm, the PAC had just $3,575 cash on hand at the end of the year.
“The fact that BLM PAC funneled almost $100,000 back to their leader, all while spending nothing to support or oppose candidates, shows they are nothing more than a scam PAC,” Americans for Public Trust Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland said.
Sutherland said this is an example of “self-enrichment” from an organization facing many complaints about their “murky finances.” These patterns with expenses, while legal, “raise serious ethical concerns,” according to Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist at the nonpartisan consumer advocacy organization Public Citizen.
“[The] self-enrichment of having campaigns pay for services from businesses owned by the candidate or even campaign staff is an unnecessary loophole in the campaign finance law,” Holman said.
This isn’t the only jar Bowers has his hands in with BLM. Bowers Consulting Firm received more than $2 million from Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), the 501(c)(3) nonprofit associated with Black Lives Matter PAC, according to tax documents. This was the same time frame where Bowers was listed as the principal officer of the nonprofit.

The Founding Fathers knew full well that Slavery was, is and always will be immoral. They wrote about Slavery in their letters. When they went to France and other European non-Slavery countries to win their support and financial backing against the British Empire in the Revolutionary War, they blamed the British Crown for Slavery in the American Colonies.
It is a lie to say that Slavery was an institution because it was always controversial for centuries. When our new nation: The United States of America was born, the Founding Fathers failed to abolish Slavery because they were selfish hypocrites on more levels that today’s state lotteries are wrong, which is more levels than the many floors in the Empire State Building.
I am not a supporter of Affirmative Action, Reparations, Socialism and/or Communism because it is also wrong to use the government to correct all of our socioeconomic injustices. Moreover, it uses cultural conflicts and violence to achieve its political ends.
The government is all about money – the Almighty Dollar – and power. To be clear, the government only serves the financial, corporate and ruling elites, while the rest of us common citizens get to vote for career politicians in elections bankrolled by wealthy financial backers.
Given all of these facts, how on Earth would the government be able to change society into a utopia?
What do I – Jon Melle – support? The answer is for the government to invest in people and communities. Housing, Public Education, especially financial literacy, healthcare, public safety, full-time living wage jobs, and so on. Abolish the state lotteries, which are really (voluntary) predatory regressive taxation schemes (SCAMS), and inequitable policies and programs similar to it. Publicly report in the news media about all of the greedy lobbyists such as Dan Bosley and the multi-million-dollar K Street corporate lobbyist firms, explain that Members of U.S. Congress spend most of their time raising money for their campaign coffers instead of governing, etc.
Jon Melle
If black lives matter then why didn’t Harris announce the billions of dollars for water infrastructure improvement including drinking water including replacing lead pipes, why didn’t she announce this in Flint Michigan?
Is she afraid to go toe to toe with a city that has questions about the Wiin Act of 2016?
Same could be said here in “Bitchfield”, why didn’t the ARPA money go to the sewer/water project which helps the whole community instead of paying for some nice nights out for the chosen black people in “Bitchfield”?
Nice nights out are one thing; there are plenty of grants available that offer a portion of the grant to incentivize people to attend; three quarters of a million dollars and trips to Ghana at our expense so that is unacceptable.
And I still have my own questions about the Wiin act of 2016 and why that wasn’t an option for Pittsfield.
There is alot of race baiting on this board.Trolling white men to fear minorities and women.Trumps MAGA movements goal is take rights away from women and minorities and to squash any gains over the last 50 years.MAGA is the KKK movement to deny equality to American people .And the crooked leader of this unchristion movement is Trump and FOX.American race NAZIS have come out of their holes after 40 years of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity pushing hatred for wealth.
I see you are lost in the sauce once again.What gains are you talking about anyway? The promised land has never been delivered to those you mentioned by the democrats after sixty years of being told to just vote democrat.Minorities are revolting all over the country because once again democrats are putting another group of potential future voters (illegal non citizens) ahead of them.
Even a Joe Biden super secret jibberish decoder ring won’t work on TSC’s rantings
In time advanced technology will be able to figure out Biden’s gibberish pressers or TSC’s blog posts, we just aren’t quite there yet.
He is not. The majority of the posters on this blog are older, white, bitter men engaged in a nauseatingly tiresome Trump-loving circle-jerk peppered with idiotic and pathetically conspiratorial rhetoric barfed up from sites like The Daily Caller, Brietbart, and The Gateway Pundit.
You sure about that, are you?!
Yes.
Aren’t you an older white bitter man? You were the last time I ran into you.
Good one!
You should check out our argument about octopuses. He called me octophobic. I think he may have a loose screw.
Fortunately, I’ve never met you. I would have had to delouse.
The TDS is strong in this one!!!
I’m sorry You, got picked on riding the school bus, laughed at and ridiculed, and were always selected last in pickup baseball and basketball games.
So You grew up to be……A LIBERAL!!!!

Trump light your tampon fuse again?
How about we light your path to gender equity instead? You clearly need to be led out of the dark ages.
Mr Worldwide. You left an argument on the table from yesterday.
Is Dirty Barry, aka-Mr Worldwide, now channeling his inner Wonder-Woman, to help get him through his next parking lot security shift?
He’s not Barry. He’s much more common. Probably a Pittsfied resident, but no one can verify a physical address. Claims to be ward 2. Pathetic in fact. Spends free time threatening councilors with salacious and very unhinged emails. You’ll be disappointed to know his name, really. Used to call himself, maybe still does, Mr. Douchbag.
HINT: he look like a dollar store version of Satan.
That’s Ms to you.
Nope. Not arguing identity with a hoosh. Won’t ever happen.
Sir Chaz, the way your mind works you are lucky to be able to find your shoes in the morning.
See? You’re bitter.
No, I’m just stating a fact.
That I’m lucky – yes that is a fact.
TDS combined with PMS (or moved on to Mentalpause now?)!
How about you go make a sandwich.
He may be what is known as a gay tourist.
How about you stop being a misogynistic pig?
I love real women H.L.
I have no use for: feminists, “woke” women, dykes, and men pretending to be women, sluts, and those who murder their babies.
Real women don’t love homophobes and misogynists like “Mad Trapper.”
Make it yourself.
Don’t be forgetting Democrat and grand pooba of the KKK Mr. Byrd who Hillary called a mentor….so who are the racist? And let’s not forget crooks and prid quo pro Joe who fought integration of schools….oh there is more but I will leave that up for you to investigate even though so far you seem to still be in remedial classes and taking the short bus
Reparations have already started with progressive DA’s, cannabis license policy, decriminalization of shoplifting, ARPA etc.
The anti-reperation complainers were lazy and just didn’t work hard enough to overcome affirmative action and so now are resentful that they didn’t make it in society. In 50 years or so we’ll be giving THEM reperations because of their low-class status.
Do you reside in the room next to TSC? Time for your medication,,,When was the last time you saw a slave?
Probably, TSC buys most of his playthings from slaves in other countries like China.
The Blowup dolls too?
Ask him. He won’t answer honestly.
Are the reparations designed to help cure racism in America? Or will it just make white folk resent the black race for taking their hard earned money, even though they had nothing whatsoever to do with slavery?
Pretty sure my feelings toward black people, which is pretty good right now, might sour. It looks a lot more like a cash, free money grab than anything else. Is the black person going to hate whitey any less if he is able to take his money? I doubt it very much. My prediction is that it actually exacerbates the racism problem as people who were never racist before may become pissed off.
“Are the reparations designed to help cure racism in America? “
No, reparations are not designed to cure racism, they are designed to offset the anti-black racism that exists in the US.
“Will it…make white folk resent the black race…?”
Yes, the white folk who were not sufficiently talented or were lazy and unable to compete will resent black race reparations.
“…my feelings toward black people, which is pretty good right now, might sour.”
This has already happened, because many unmotivated and untalented white folk are jealous because they feel others have been given an unfair advantage.
“Is the black person going to hate whitey any less if he is able to take his money?”
The black person does not hate whitey, he just wants a level playing field.
“My prediction is that it actually exacerbates the racism problem as people who were never racist before may become pissed off.”
PV also believes this. What it fails to take into account is the systemic disadvantage that minorities experience in this society, and that it is the unmotivated and untalented white folk who get pissed off.
“Black person….wants a level playing field,” states Natter.
With this comment alone, I can without a doubt say, you are either really young (20’s), a brainwashed D sheep, or both.
Do a few searches on Bill Clinton’s 1990’s Affirmative Action policies and the subsequent lawsuits that followed because it gave blacks willing to work, a 25 mile head start in a 26 mile race.
The key phrase in that, WILLING TO WORK.
Tell me again about “level playing fields” again, but with facts. Not democRAT talking points.
You’ve been to a specialist! Who is your brain washer? Took a filthy mind and wiped it free of free thought!
Do you feel there should be a realignment in Pro baseball, football and basketball so that there is an equal ratio of white, black and
Spanish people and if so do you want to be the one who tells some black players making millions of dollars that they need to step aside and make room for other ethnicities?
Reparations — PeopIe who NEVER owned sIaves giving money to peopIe who NEVER were slaves.
“Reparations — PeopIe who NEVER owned sIaves giving money to peopIe who NEVER were slaves.”
Reparations — PeopIe who NEVER were subject to racism giving money to peopIe who NEVER were able to compete on a level playing field.
I’m still flummoxed by how following the laws is racist? And arresting people who break the laws as systemic racism!
following the laws is not racist. arresting people who break the laws is not systemic racism.
Why are POC allowed to leave with/steal thousands of dollars of merchandise, and face no consequences?
It’s Systemic and Racist!
Great word – flummoxed
Reparations have already been paid, in some sense, by 60 + years worth of subsidized rent, government housing, WIC, welfare, tax credits for low income and for children, food stamps, EBT cards, Obamaphones, Obamacare, and, over the last three years, gang “takings” on a scale which has closed many long established department stores, said to be in the billions.
Not to mention preferences for college admissions, honors, and job opportunities.
Trying to argue with satanic people is not bad for your soul, but it will dissolve your brain and bowels. I recommend against it.
In some sense, but not really. The reason is that this country still has racism in its bones. A day doesn’t go by where I don’t hear the ‘N’ word or other kinds of racist talk. You think that doesn’t effect hiring or getting a mortgage? When that underlying racism goes away, so can affirmative action and talk of reperations.

It’s ironic, wouldn’t you say, that the word “nigger” is used most by hip hoppers and today’s early offended young people. It’s a digesting word, but when you say “the N word,” you give it more attention and more loathsome power than it should ever have.
It is ironic, but for you to quote the word is unacceptable and highly offensive. But you don’t care, as it is literally your job to offend.
NAT
My job is too offend. You are correct. It is a job to offend the offenders, to sting the stingers, to point out to truth of what the falsifiers are doing. If you are offended, then I have done my job. We do agree, though, of the irony with respect to that word’s frequent flyers. I appreciate your feedback!
“A day doesn’t go by where I don’t hear the ‘N’ word or other kinds of racist talk”
You hang out with particularly filthy people then – the sort whom I avoid. Find better company.
In other words, ignore the problem and it won’t exist.
Great – let’s argue that.
You said that you experience a lot of hate speech, and I said that you have poor company. I assume that is your choice.
Instead of challenging my assumption, you make four fresh ones with “ignore the problem and it won’t exist”
Start with the first assumption pending in ‘ignore’.That means to deliberately pay no attention. It implies secondarily that I would be ignorant. You assume that both are true. That assumption does not hold water. I specifically state that you should avoid patronizing offensive people. That is not ignoring but responding. Second, as to ignorance, eschewing danger is to be aware of it.
It’s appropriate for me to stop here and let you respond.
Charles, I’d love for the people I hang around with to not think and say some of the things they do. My friends are my friends, and I’d rather they changed their points of view than cut them off. My point was that if you don’t hang around with them its avoiding the problem rather than confronting it, like you are pretending those people don’t exist – which is what many of the right-leaning folk on this board do – pretend those people don’t exist.
Well, that is a fine point, NJ. It defines you better.
I’m not understanding what a friend is whose behavior is offensive. Either their opinions and speech drives you away or you dismiss it and don’t care. This takes me to the word “and.”
“ignore the problem and it won’t exist”
With ‘and‘, you make an equation: ‘ignorance‘ yields ‘[preserving] the problem‘
Does it? You could beat them silly and I think they will still act the same. You could brainwash them, I suspect they would find a different way to be obnoxious. You fill a hole and a new one opens. I believe you have not established a strong connection between ignoring and the problem’s existing.
There are often times obnoxious language crops up here, sometimes I challenge it, sometimes I disregard it. The outcome is the same.
People who want freebies will never be satisfied. The politicians have Americans trained to salivate whenever they hear the word “free”. Medicare wants to provide housing, food, and other expenses so people have a basic income and don’t have to work. It makes them totally dependent on government which is why government wants to do it because it will kill ambition, give government lots of power over everyone, and eventually crash the economy, but the Biden government wants everything to reach a breaking point so that people are begging big government to make all the crime and chaos go away which they will be only too happy to do by creating a very oppressive new form of government to solve the problems they have created.
Sounds similar to Shirley gettin’ d ARPA cash!
They’s be her reparations,
Stupid Don told FOX propagandist that he is being treated terrible by our court system…..Americas national crybaby is making every effort to keep his KKK feeling so sorry for stupid Don that they will send money for his attorney fees by buying his pretend new sneaker or bozo shoes.How many are you MAGAs buying for his fascist new government as you asked yourself in history class how the German people gave the keys to their soul to Hitler. TRUMP has sucked the energy out of democracy for his Department of political enemies….you guys will think that’s a great idea….Trump uses mail in voting
The alternative, “Biden and Harris: Embarrassing Candidates for Mindless Voters!”
Harris could outthink Optimus with half her brain tied behind her back.
If you have Kamala a penny for her thoughts, you’d get change back.
$6 Bill’s, maybe a $4 dollar bill for your $10.
You must write the “speeches”/jibberish for Biden!!!

Let’s go level the pyramids, the Egyptians had slaves 4000 years ago.
Native Americans had slaves, well they already gave reparations…..
I want reparations FIRST! The first slaves Europeans brought to the Americas were WHITE Europeans.
It is clear trapper don’t understand the concept. Pyramids? And you want reparations FIRST! Would you take them, Mad Trapper?
It’s clear you don’t understand satire!
Satire is the coward’s way out, because it always gives you plausible deniability. Like, ‘I was just kidding’.
The best solution, one that will make everyone happy and good: pay the reparations in Berkshares.
optimus, shirleyknutz and trapper didn’t work hard enough to excel over the affirmative action competition and they don’t get any reparations so now they blame minorities for their loss of status in American society.
Dan has met me and knows who my family is. Money isn’t an issue. The whole family has done well from hard work and investing locally and else where. All from blue collar families who had humble beginnings.
You resent them because you perceive your status as having fallen.
Free parking day…
https://www.iberkshires.com/story/74518/Berkshire-Communities-Impacted-By-National-Cellular-Outages.html
Now we know that when the nukes go off, we can count on free parking.
Truly vibrant and dynamic
What did the parking enforcement people do all day?
PTO most likely
The parking meter clowns probably left tickets anyway. They are crazy about giving tickets.
Are you able to link to the actual article by Sean Kerrvin or talk at all about who Sean Kerrvin is? There’s literally nothing about him except that he posts on “The Patriot Journal” (not The Patriot) and then gets linked to by far right conservative blogs like RedStateConservative. So who is this guy’s credentials? Why should we believe or listen to him other than he said things we agree with? Where’s the critical thought?
It’s frankly pathetic that you’re trying your best to emulate and copycat the random bloggers on The Patriot Journal and RedStateConservative. A quick comparison of what this blog looked like 10 years ago and what it looks like today reveals a sad descent. Trump ruined your brain Dan, and it looks like both of you are on the same downward spiral.
Dan, you didn’t approve my last comment, which was respectful but critical. Snowflakes hate criticism and love censorship, which is again representative of this blog’s decline. Sad!
