Stop Killing The Messenger Bill Villa

Although taking it very slowly, and playing it very safely, WFMZ-TV 69 News in Allentown has courageously started to reveal the details of concerted efforts to stop me from telling my fellow citizens what I've learned about corruption in Lehigh County-- specifically its crooked and incompetent criminal justice system, and a crony-colluding "newspaper" and allied local blogosphere that purposefully conceals the truth, and proactively co-perpetrates social injustices against innocent and civic-minded people, like Angie and me, who dare to speak truth to power.

69 News's 9/2 online coverage is just the tip of a large and complex iceberg of a story. But it's a good place to start reading if you're interested in organized social injustices that could easily be perpetrated against you too. Click on this link to read: Allentown Council Struggles With Freedom Of Speech Issue.

The family of Sheena Villa is extremely grateful to 69 News for the many hours they've spent researching our findings of collusion-- even if 69 News ultimately decides against reporting any deeper [Update: 69 "News" did abandon its Villas-favorable reporting pretty quickly]. We have no doubt 69 "News" will be pressured to cease and desist their coverage of our injustice issues. This pressure will come from the same local abuse of power monopolies we've been endeavoring to expose, dismantle, and upgrade-- namely, The Morning Call, and unopposed Lehigh County District Attorney James B. Martin.

If you'd like to learn more and learn it more quickly than 69 News may report it, please research our blog's right sidebar "Exposé Wall Of Shame" content ... as 69 News has been doing for several months now.

We guarantee you our colluding corruption findings will curl your hair, and turn your stomach. Hopefully they will also piss you off enough to motivate you to join us-- we could use your help, especially on election days.

Thanks for reading with an open mind.

And as you're reading, try to imagine all this happening to you and your family.

Readers, we've been receiving, and rejecting, "anonymous" comments like this one, "Gee little Pussy willow Villa, that's one paranoia complex you got going for you. I can't wait to see what fiction you come up with next. If someone is making threats by phone, call the police."

Obviously we've hit a nerve w/ this post and that was our intention.

Allentown taxpayer said...

Joe Konrath, the East Allentown resident who was attacked by Donovan on his vanity blog, is in the Morning Call today "demanding" a public apology from the Dipsy Don.
Don't hold your breath Joe.

Bill Villa said...

Good for Joe, but yeah, Mike Donovan apology line forms to the rear, and like in the E.R., let's triage the ones bleeding the most, first. This of course doesn't apply to The Morning Call ... unlike 69 News, they have yet to breathe a word of my bi-weekly visits to City Council, even though Morning Call "reporter" Jarrett Renshaw sees (and hears) me there each meeting.

Bill Villa said...

BTW, it was The Morning Call's transparently biased coverage of the Allentown Ethics Board's transparently biased dismissal of my ethics complaint against Mike Donovan that really focused 69 News's attention on our collusion findings.

Bill Villa said...

“If I had done something wrong, I would be the first to apologize." -9/1, Mike Donovan to 69 News

Councilor Donovan, consider trying one or more (or all) of these on for size ...

[x] WRONG to let out-of-town hate bloggers take over your blog for the entire month of March 2010

[x] WRONG to not check your blog more frequently for un-moderated, sadistically cruel, and libelous comments building up there

[x] WRONG to encourage offensive commenters by commenting yourself that their offensive comments are "fun to read"

[x] WRONG to keep hundreds of offensive comments up at your blog for 4 months before deleting them

[x] WRONG to use your blog to cyber-terrorize Allentown constituents at the same blog you use to promote "civility" and "mutual respect" in discussing matters before Allentown City Council w/ other Allentown constituents and out-of-town hate bloggers

[x] WRONG (as an A-Town Arts Commissioner) to allow a blog forum for boycotting The Villas musical performance at Mayfair, including suggestions of removing The Villas from the performer roster and bringing "noisemakers" to disrupt the performance

[x] WRONG (as an A-Town Arts Commissioner) to allow and encourage sadistically cruel blog comments against Angie Villa, acceptor of an Allentown Arts Ovation Award in May 2010 from the Allentown Arts Commission for her tireless volunteer work in starting the Allentown Chen Arts Group to help further the revitalization of Downtown Allentown

[x] WRONG to refuse to admit wrongdoing

[x] WRONG to refuse to apologize

Take a walk in the park, give it some thought, and if you smell feces again it's probably you.

Bill Villa said...

“Privilege [Courtesy] of the floor will not be extended for personal insults or personal attacks on any individual, name calling or other behavior that is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of conducting city business.”

That was City Councilor Mike "Giggles" Schlossberg, 15, stinking up City Council on 9/1 w/ a red herring motion designed to silence me, as reported by 69 News

Readers, read my 2+ minute "Courtesy of the Floor" speech and you'll see that it contains no personal insults, no personal attacks, and no name calling. It contains only inconvenient truth and FACTS.

Sorry, Giggles.

"At Wednesday’s council meeting, after ... Villa left, D’Amore raised the question whether there should be limits placed on Villa’s comments." 69 News

Well there's some high irony for you ...

but I'm not concerned because D'Amore never follows through on anything he commits to.

Bill Villa said...

"Villa criticized Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin for not pursuing 3rd degree murder charges. Martin said there was insufficient cause for the stiffer charge." 69 News

To anyone who's been paying attention to this blog, it's painfully obvious that DA Jim Martin and Judge Robert Steinberg were both dead wrong in not charging 3rd degree murder.

Readers, I can't bring myself to publish the vile and filthy personal insults, personal attacks, and name calling I just received via email from "W" Mike Donovan's son, Ned.

As they say, the acorn doesn't fall too far from the tree.

One thing Ned said is that my family should not be considered as being anything "above spit."

I hope Donovan, his son Ned, and his Morning Call freelancer wife Diana (who also projectile vomited her frustration at you recently in an email) all get the "help" they need.

"Donovan questions why no one is talking about the “hundreds of pages” of attacks he says Villa has posted against him." | 69 News

My Take...

I'll talk about them, because I've read them all (LVS is my guiltiest pleasure) and first of all, they were not "attacks." The Villas have noted here, and yes repeatedly, that Councilman Donovan displays astoundingly bad judgement in choosing-- continuously, steadfastly, and curiously to ally with the likes of Chris Casey and other out of town "hate bloggers." I couldn't agree more with Bill and Angie on this. And considering the deep doo-doo even Donovan smells himself in lately BECAUSE of his blogger alliance choices, you'd have to agree that the Villas were 100% correct all along.

Over & Out...

Bill Villa said...

Well said, both of youse.

While I do not necessarily agree with some of your tactics or style, I do agree the "connectedness" in The Valley needs to be addressed.

I wish you ongoing success in this endeavor. It appears Channel 69 is making an effort.

Keep it up.

Bill Villa said...

Thanks. And FYI, I always start out civil and polite, trying to "get more bees w/ honey."

This approach does not work in the crony-connected Lehigh Valley.

It only makes it easier for the crony crooks (e.g., Glenn Kranzley, Jim Martin, Dave Erdman, Mike's Donovan & D'Amore, etc.) to ignore you.

Notice how they're not ignoring me lately?

Ditto 69 News.

Obviously my "tactics and style" are reaching people.

And I'm a people person.

Bill Villa said...

To a point, for example, lil Neddy Donovan has sent me (so far) 2 more vile, foaming at the mouth emails. One more and I'll be filing a private criminal complaint against Neddy for summary harassment, stalking, and harassment by communication, although I got plenty w/ his 3 current emails so I might change my mind and just file on Tuesday.

Anonymous said...

Li'l Ned attended Waynflete (Class of 2008), a private school in Maine that costs $23,560.00 a year in tuition.
At that price, they should've taught the kid some manners.

Anonymous said...

Why does Ned attend Ithaca College (Class of 2012)? Isn't Cedar Crest, where his Father teaches, good enough for him?

Allentown taxpayer said...

I guess the Dipsy Don isn't man enough to fight his own battles.
I wonder what the Don's constituents think about a guy who pays more for his son's high school than they earn in a year, then wants to douse their free fireworks show because he stands up for the little guy?

Bill Villa said...

I am just going to let all comments run, they are fun to read.

Bill Villa said...

UpDate: we've received two (2) more harassing emails from Neddy, who, from the androgynous look of him would probably pass unnoticed at all women's college Cedar Crest, just sayin'.

Again, the cronyism in this region is breath taking. The Powers that be have lost sight that Government Official in more progressive regions, get Prosecuted and convicted of collusion for what passes as normal here. Despite the almost comical commentary of Dick Dean and his cohort, Donald Barnhouse, I find Channel 69, the most objective news reporting in the region. They even report Gay Community events without bias. They tend to report news and don't appear to be Part of the Spin Machine for Law Enforcement and it's web of illusion.

Bill Villa said...

Well said 12:10, we couldn't agree w/ you more.

Re: the Dick ("I own the place") Dean & Donald Barnhouse unchallenged NeoCon commentaries, we believe it would greatly enhance WFMZ's already growing credibility and the great job being done (for many years) by 69 News Director Brad Rinehart if Mr. Dean would allow a counter-point of view from the center/left. What's he afraid of? Me coming on :)

8:49, we believe Donovan does know but that his immaturity and neediness for "Inclusion" in the crony-connected insiders club has him so aquiver, and "honored," that he'll do anything to stay in the good graces of the Morning Call/Valley Blogosphere collusion cabal.

If D’Amore “knew what he was doing” (that is, he “calculated” the whole thing), how come D’Amore’s & Barron’s You Tube videos got poofed from You Tube within about an hour of LVCI “breaking” the story locally? I’d say that Insta-Poof meant D’Amore wasn’t so sure about what he was doing … or even “Oh my God, what was I thinking?”

Here it is again, paraphrased from memory ...

Considering all the high-profile mis-steps Casey has made recently, e.g., totally alienating himself w/ the local Democratic party, and landing Mike Donovan in front of the Allentown Ethics Board (and all over 69 News) for his "guest libel blogging" at Donovan's blog in March, I question the appropriateness of using the word "smart" in the same sentence w/ "Chris Casey."
