BITCHFIELD MAKES THE EPSTEIN FILES … AND IT TOOK THE PLANET TO FIND OUT
BY DAN VALENTI
PLANET VALENTI NEWS AND COMMENTARY
(FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE MONDAY FEB. 23, 2026) — A search at the Justice of Department website’s Epstein Files reveals that the city of Bitchfield turns up five times. It made the Big Time … but only for the proverbial cup of coffee.
And what nefarious deeds resulted in this quintuplet of quaint?
Search for yourself, as THE PLANET presents the links. What, you think the Boring Broadsheet would think of it or, if they did, would even bother? It’s funny how one guy with a blog and a couple tin cans can consistently beat out the entirely of a daily newspaper with its corporate resources making sure the judge can keep in bear skins.
THE PLANET is first to admit that these five entries have all the newsworthiness of the plastic cap on a pouch of baby food. Now in our second year of being a grandfather, we possess great familiarity with these caps. Not much there, but in when it comes to the Epstein Files, you never know unless you look, and that’s the point. We looked. No one else did. For all we knew, there could have been a file describing how Peter Marchetti, Peter White, and Earl Persip used city credit cards to buy black doilies latex and Astroglide at the gift shop on Epstein’s private island.
———- ooo ———-
You’ll notice that two of the five entries involve a charter jet leaving Pittsfield Municipal Airport. Both times, it went from here to there, “there” being East Hampton, Long Island. Hmmmm. Didn’t Jeffrey Epstein have a place in the Hamptons? Dates of the two flights: June 29, 2012, leaving at 9:36 a.m. That was a Friday morning, 13 years, 7 months, and 24 days ago (but who’s counting?). What in the name of Jimmy Ruberto was happening that day?
Was Epstein in Pittsfield? If so, why?
Does it matter? Who knows. Again, the point is that the local media, time and again, simply does the minimum. For the Eagle, it’s not a lack of talent. You can attribute the monotonous, freeze dried content to an understaffed newsroom that is also overworked and underpaid. In such workplaces, morale must be summoned from within, and the fact is that after a certain amount of time, that becomes difficult, moving from self-respect to self-preservation to out-and-out survival. The paper can’t keep any of the younger staffers who show talent, and the veterans who remain (or return) realize they’re stuck.
It’s hard to run a newspaper that matters under such conditions. According to our newsroom sources, Rug Row seems to be doing fine, extracting every nickel it can out of the moribund rag. As long as they’re comfy, who cares? It doesn’t mean the paper is in good financial shape. It just means that the bosses will squeeze coin for comfy as long as they can.
Incidentally, there’s one entry in the E-Files for the Berkshire Eagle. It has to do with a Bob Dylan review. The Zimmerman Files.
Just because …

Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli American SPY, allegedly.
He also had contacts in Russia, along with other countries.
The allegations are disturbing. Some are similar to horror stories.
Some people have said to me that the only way to make sense of people like Jeffrey Epstein is that he worships the Devil.
I think it was a SPY using his MONEY and sex trafficking to entrap wealthy and powerful men.
You realize that Tucker was lying, don’t you?
Of course Pittsfield taxpayers would be helping to pay for Epstein’s transportation. There was some talk about the airport being self-sustaining through fees some years ago, but it was quietly dropped. Maybe now people will shut up if they are struggling to pay their bills due to taxes: that money was needed for billionaires to have parties with underage girls!
They basically don’t charge users fees for use. They have this 1,000 year contract frozen in 1940’s currency, as it were.
Should be a flight log of the flights.
Local media has the tracking capabilities if it cared to sue them. don’t hold thy breath though.
Concerning the Water Projects, the people involved should be Fired. Including administration, the contractor-engineering firm. A resident came to all of those Council Meetings and one thing I remember him saying was they’ll kill you on contingency fees. It’s happening. Bitchfield never had anyone representing the taxpayer. Zero knowledge of Water.
In 22 or ’23, the Council voted to eliminate the Civic board of engineering and the civic Finance board that was developed to provide professional input on the water sewer enterprise.
So the egineering company says this is what Needs to be done at the water plant so then your administrator and finance guy says they put it out to bedcompany
One day, Pittsfield’s Financial Guru says that the City has over $17 million in FREE Cash. Then, Kufflinks has to borrow well over $17 million for the Water Projects.
It simple math Kwik. You bid over. Administrator comes back and says we need competition because the bid is to high ? No. The original bid and the cost is to high.
The councilor insiders make it look like they’re concerned and want to scale the project down to save Kapanski’s money? Hilarious.
So they’ll complain about everything to costly under the sun like Bay Windows and chimneys. When all the while the Prohibitive cost was way to much to begin with. It’s what Dan always calls a shell game. With all this being said the plan was obstinate from the beginning,didn’t work and they’ve been fined or about to be fined or maybe they weren’t fined,but it’s a shit hole over the sewer plant the last couple years. Ricardo has cost Bitchfield millions.

Thanks for the expert update. Yes, the water situation, as the Wahconah Park project, is part of the legal shell game, which you outline beautifully.
A couple weeks ago DPW Commisioner called ppd to complain about a car illegally parked in front of his house. Commonwealth Ave. ?.. Guess who lives next to the house?
Epstein?
Epstein was just popping in to pick-up Carmen and Angelo.
