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 …

In any case, for laughs, here are the Epstein-Bitchfield links:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Joe
Who’s Uncle Carmen related to?
A former soon disgraced District court judge, who shares the family tradition of sexual exploitation.

The Oligarchy of the Berkshires, is crumbling, faster and faster day by day.

Why the shake up in Trial court?
Feds closing in? the rats fleeing the sinking ship?

Far too far from shore, only thing to eat now is their fellow rats,

Seeing the pattern yet?

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Monday that he was anxious over the U.S. economy, citing elevated asset prices and a competitive environment in banking that reminded him of the pre-2008 crisis years.

Stocks closed markedly lower in the first trading session since President Donald Trump announced a new 15% tariff on most imported goods, intensifying his effort to impose levies that were struck down by the Supreme Court.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 820 points, or 1.6%, while the S&P 500 dropped 1%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq declined 1.1%.

New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte announced earlier this morning that “the Department of Homeland Security will not move forward with the proposed ICE facility in Merrimack, NH”.

No ICE NH cautioned that the statement does not entire preclude the possibility of an ICE facility elsewhere in the state.

The local people in the area where I live in Southern New Hampshire won. We do NOT want the brutality of ICE in our backyard. We want to feel safe, and hope that we will all treat each other with compassion instead of an ICE Agent putting around 10 bullets into one man in Minnesota.

I believe in Human Rights for everyone. I believe in the rule of law over the rule of men. I believe that political violence is extremism. I am thankful that ICE Agents won’t be in the area where I live.

Johnny, you do realize ICE will be in Southern New Hampshire rounding up illegals. They just won’t be building their facility there. Let the people do their job and no one gets hurt. They are enforcing the law.

Dan. I will try to make it to the buffoon meeting tonight. I have many many questions concerning our City.

And to Joe the Taxpayer…..Yes yes Yes. And Jon please don’t interfere like driving your car.Criminal illegals are first Jon.. Then Homan is coming back for just illegals as soon as the bad ones are rounded up.

Aside…Trump stated certain things that maybe are true or not. He did say it would take awhile. I think pretty soon we will reap the dividends. I know tax refund recipients are happy.

So I did get at the council meeting but an insider said Lumpy wouldn’t be there?Turned around and went home. I wanted to say in my 3 minutes in my speech to look directly at Lumpy,as you call him Dan. Next meeting I will try again. Let’s hope Victororia exposes this clown in May. I will be there also.

Pardon the prior quip, but it is many a man’s fantasy to be deported to Florence.

Why are you afraid of ICE dention center? The chance a deranged violent convict may escape? That’s a reasonable fear.
