PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY

(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, MONDAY MAY 12, 2025) –The notable aspect about the executive whitewashes … er, summaries released by the City of Bitchfield conspirators (mayor, slohoc kummiteeem, superintendent, Mercer, PHS administrators, council prez, councilor, city solicitor, Mercer denizens, the usual gang of idiots, and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver) is how they essentially say NOTHING substantial about the school employees accused of drug dealing, sexual harassment, endangering, not paying parking tickets, and ax murder.

The summaries simply say that the (ahem) “independent” investigation conducted by an ex-judge who has deep ties to the local political and legal establishment found insufficient evidence to warrant charges. Not finding sufficient evidence does not mean the accused committed no wrongdoing. The careful worded summaries, however, were composed to suggest just that. Nothing to see here, folks. You can all return to your homes now. We looked into it and found nothing amiss.

Right.

To THE PLANET, especially when we place such verbose legerdemain in the context of the PSD’s previous lies and obfuscation, the summaries should be interpreted as saying “guilty as charged.” Why, there hasn’t been such parsing of words since Bubba Clinton waxed about the meaning of “is.” Perhaps the accused are innocent. If so, they would have every reason to be upset over the wording of the report.

———- ooo ———-

We The People, Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, DO NOT BELIEVE NOR DO THEY ACCEPT THE ‘CLEAN SLATE’ THAT THE SUITS JUST SHOWED DOWN THEIR THROATS.

———- ooo ———-

How can anyone trust the summaries? Consider:

  • Summaries by nature exclude the majority of the material
  • Who wrote the summaries? We don’t know. “Judge” Rupp? Her paralegal?
  • As for the investigation upon which the summaries were based:
    • How could the probe find the truth with so many of the key players too gripped by fear to share what they know (a reasonable fear of being fired or “cancelled” for spilling)?
    • Who was interviewed? The judge provided no list nor did the summaries.
      • Were the interviews conducted under oath?
      • What questions were asked?
      • Were official transcripts made?
      • Who was NOT interviewed?
      • What questions were NOT asked?
      • Who among those interviewed was not asked the right questions?
  • Without this information, the summaries, let alone the report itself, are both pointless and useless.
  • In light of all this, the fact remains that We The People, Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski, citizens and taxpayers, parents of school children DO NOT BELIEVE NOR DO THEY ACCEPT THE ‘CLEAN SLATE’ THAT THE SUITS JUST SHOWED DOWN THEIR THROATS.

That’s THE PLANET‘s interpretation of the scandalous mess as it now stands. Ex-judge Mary Lou “On the Up-and-Up” Rupp of the Springfield law firm of Blakely, Richardson, and Gelinas had to tread with extreme care. Her law firm had a mandate from the skunks in Bitchfield who are sitting upon a volcano about to explode. Judge Up-and-Up delivered what the SC wanted, and within Mercer’s halls could be heard: “Hello Mary Lou, goodbye charge. Sweet Mary Lou we’re so in love with you.”

As for the sad sacks on the slxoohc kummmiiitee, what can THE PLANET say? We’re not saying these crackers are dumb, but young Master Garrity tried to drown himself on a pool table … “Miss Jane” Hathaway’s brain-eating amoeba died of starvation and anorexia … At breakfast, Diana Belair stared at her carton of orange juice for seven hours because it said “concentrate.” Yup Up-and-Up, you shilled for a sharp bunch.

———- ooo ———-

CIARA’S RUNNING FOR SC!

The beneficial lining to come out of this rancid cloud has to be Ciara Batory’s intent to run for a position on the school committee.

She posted on Facebook:

Would anyone sign this for me?  I’m running for school committee in Pittsfield Massachusetts. You have to be a resident, over the age of 18 and a registered voter! Please let me know if you’re able to help me out. Thanks so much.

Sign her petition, folks. And Ciara, please see it through to Election Day.

Did they cook the books? Answer: The fix is always in with the 2-Pete’s Pittsfield politics whose other name is RETRIBUTION.

Where is the mayor’s budget proposal? How much is Peter Marchetti going to increase city spending starting in less than 2 months on July 01st, 2025?

The fictional Mary Jane and Joe Kapanski have to pay for Pittsfield politics.

Hello again, blogger Dan Valenti,

Predictable Pittsfield politics always increases city spending by 5-percent per fiscal year going back over 40 years (possibly longer).

https://www.iberkshires.com/story/78945/Nearly-5-Budget-Increase-Proposed-For-Pittsfield.html

It will be 2 fiscal years in a row of the two Pete’s Pittsfield politics increasing city spending by 5-percent, which proves that they have NOT changed anything for the better in this corrupt small city that collects as much state administered, federal aid funds as possible, which I call “Perverse Incentives” because of the Level 5 (failed), Group 11 (underclass) school district, the distressed local economy with its over reliance on social services agencies, the violent crime rate doubling the statewide average, the deferred maintenance, and so on.

I would guess that the common residents in Pittsfield (Massachusetts) pays the city close to $7,000 in local taxes and fees per fiscal year, which is a real financial burden given the high rate of inflation and cost of raising a family.

Best wishes,

Jon Melle

Spot on Dan!

You forgot to ask how much did the “transparent”/public can’t see it cost, and what city coffer paid for the $365/hour paint job/white wash?

Is there a process in the Shitty Charter for recall votes? Mayor McCheese, Clowncil, and Sochol Committee, they all need to go, or it’s years of more days of darkness for the THE PITT

When Bitchfield’s leadership says, trust us for a full accountability with you’re taxpayers dollars on where, what and how much was spent on just about anything, taxpayers better put their hands on their wallets…and be surprised if it’s still there.

Do You mean white privileged Persip . That’s his stance on everything . You don’t hear anyone , least of all someone getting paid tax payer dollars to grandstand his racist views . Was Dean who peddled heavy drug dealing in school zone a privileged person ? Was his hiring process white privilege ? Black privilege? Speak up big Earl , racism is not acceptable anymore . Especially when you are paid by tax payer . A disgusting display of behavior by someone who is an open , public racist .

Bitchfield’s bureaucracy
was more concerned with protecting all the scoundrels involved in 
the PHS scandals than they were with protecting the student’s. They had
to take care of those involved in the scandalous act’s to protect their own a$$’s from any consequences. I hope the voters finally dismantle the current leadership when the time comes to do so.

The with of the chosen, is not the wish of the many. we all have witnessed how things work, doesn’t make it right. i fact it makes it wrong. i thought the city council would come to the aid of the ppl…other than earl, they did not….i was struck by Counilor Seere, she has more problems in her ward than any other ward councilor, yet she has the balls, to ask for help. Nope, you deal with it, like you told your supporters, the rest of the city will not spend the money for just you…Ward 7 is an important ward, its been run by a councilor that has no idea about government, she learned under the chris hodgkins school of win an election at any cause. She wants to do what ever, and will say anything to get elected. what has she done in office. she will lose, my opinion, she will lose big in her ward..

FAFO happening in Worcester Ma.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/worcester-police-union-demands-investigation-city-councilwoman-assaulting/

“The Worcester Police Patrol Officers’ Union is calling for an ethics investigation into City Councilor Etel Haxhiaj following a chaotic incident during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation last Thursday.

The union alleges that Haxhiaj incited a crowd and assaulted both local and federal law enforcement officers attempting to detain Ferreira de Oliveira, an illegal immigrant accused of violent crimes, including assault with a dangerous weapon and assault on a pregnant woman, Boston 25 News reported.

According to reports, approximately 25 individuals gathered in a Worcester neighborhood to protest the arrest and attempted to block the unmarked ICE vehicle. Haxhiaj is accused of participating in the protest and physically confronting officers on the scene.”

Marchetti was supposedly elected to work for and protect the citizens of Pittsfield. Is he doing his job, absolutely not. It amazes me and everyone I talk to that he can just hide in his office and ignore the growing issues in the School department.

Also noticed that PPD Resource Officer Jessica Godfroy now works at Herberg. Strange she no longer is stationed at PHS where she worked during the Wiggins. Shepard, West days. Is this just another part of the cover-up? Chief Dawley stated there was no PPD involvement, then why was she relocated Chief? Taxpayers can’t believe a word out of anyone’s mouth in this crooked Administration. Is the City going to survive the rest of Marchetti’s term? Not looking very good.

DCF is not offering help—they’re demanding obedience. Comply with unchecked authority or lose your rights. But forced compliance is not justice; it’s coercion masked as protection. Been to the mf mountain top, seen the power of the state abused, and prosecuted those who broke the law, now I speak for those crushed by it. Truth does not fear scrutiny. And no agency is above the Constitution. When DCF weaponizes support services, they violate the very laws they claim to enforce.

So it looks like there never was a scandal after all but nevertheless a bunch of peeps got their reputations besmirched which is so unfortunate. But now that they have all been cleared of any wrong doing they need to lawyer up and go after huge settlements for having their reputations damaged.

And maybe the same firm that found them guilty of nothing at all can represent them and fatten their collective wallets so that they can begin to restore their dignity and prosperity.

And happily the Pittsfield’s school systems impeccable reputation as a bastion of scholastic advancement and integrity can be touted as an example for all others to follow.

Kudos to the school committee for standing up for righteousness and for protecting the children which obviously was their most important concern here. They can stand proudly before their grandchildren and smile sheepishly.

Yeah. And as a proud parent let’s hope these individuals can resume teaching my kids. Our great City Council should do this as well as the school committee. Thank the heavens we have smart Council Members,they are so for us.

I would emplore them to raise taxes as much as they can because King Trump is cutting a lot of local programs,millions. Snap…Housing…

And did you hear the Councilor in Ward 2 say she has nothing more eloquent to say? So unselfish. And Dizzy Dina,liaison to he Charter Commission,adding many thoughtful responses at ordinance and rules session concerning the charter.

Help me Rhonda nodding her head before any points by other Councilors we’re making their points?

They had to wake up one Council Member for input.

Please please vote Alex Blumin.

Dan I miss Fritz posts. Is he ok?

Aside. Why is Farley Bouvier not leading protests against I C E like other politicians? And should she be doing this on pctv?… And where is she on the Schools Budgets? And turmoil.

All she does is promote cyber space which is great ,but not what Mary and Joe need at this time?

I believe someone asked recently what the status of Victoria May’s lawsuit against Pittsfield Cooperative Bank and Mayor Lumpy Marchetti.

It looks like it will head to a jury trial on 4/20/2026, if it doesn’t settle prior to that.

https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/50437030/May_v_Pittsfield_Cooperative_Bank_et_al

A legal question I thought of is, could any of the issues found in the Bitchfield Pubic Scohol Department scandal be used against Mayor Lumpy, in this case to further impeach his character? I’m not sure as the CC Prez if he really had any say in PSD employment matters, so maybe not. Just a thought.

First off, I want to wish Ciara the best of luck. You know the GOBSIG’s will pull out every trick in the book to keep you off the TSC.

They might even dust off Picklefield’s most feared vigilante, Dirty Barry Clairmont, to make a city hall trip to get his much-needed Zagnut bar. Oh yeah, and a running tally of the current vote.

While citizens like Ciara Batory fight the good fight to try and keep pedophiles out of the schools, the MA State Illegal Aliens Representative, also known as, “The children’s education champion” Tricia Farley-Country Buffet (d-illegal aliens) is fighting to make sure BOYS CAN COMPETE IN GIRLS SPORTS.

TFCB has remained mum on the PHS scandal. Why?

*Is she involved also?
*Did she help “guide” the DCS investigation away from key people?
*Why does she believe stealing a female’s athletic dream to be the best, only to be shattered by a boy PRETENDING TO BE A GIRL, is acceptable?

Just google Burlington Vermont for their needle problem and all the related problems, because Pittsfield is not far behind. Once upon a time, Pittsfield was a nice place to live. By any objective measure, downtown, up street whatever you want to call it, is a complete shithole. And what’s up with the city letting the bums take over the library, the parks, and the intersections. Do any elected officials give a shit?
