Soares Spot

Webmaster Dave & Dinosaurous Rex Kick Ass And Take Names

It's now been 4 days or so since the New York Times printed their article containing this explosive charge by an "investigative" editor of the Albany Times-Union:

“Obviously I have pissed some people off enough to the point where they would send in jackbooted thug police officers to do an anal search on someone I believe they thought was my wife,” Mr. Port said, adding, “I am enraged, I am angry.”

Sounds like a big-time criminal conspiracy, right? And if true would no doubt constitute the most important crime perpetrated in Albany County in a generation or two--or even three. So where is the District Attorney? Where is the grand jury?  Again, it is his job to investigate these kinds of things--the sooner the better.  And if there's some kind of conflict of interest, he should say so and recuse himself.

But he is nowhere to be found, that's where he is. His utter abdication of his responsibility here is nothing less than astonishing.

Now, what does Dave's silence tell you? It could tell you that Dave is up to his ears in dirt with Port, as evidenced by their mutual silence on the other. But that's for another post entirely.

At least the city of Albany Police Chief and the Albany County Sheriff have said something.

[I'm scaring myself.  My syntax beginning to resemble a New York Post editorial.]

So maybe some would say: "Let's go check out his website, maybe the district attorney has said something there, and SoaresSpot is a big fat liar!"

But you can't. And that's because the Albany County District Attorney's website has been down for several months. Think about that one for a moment.

This guy can't even manage to maintain a website. But he can manage to understand he's spitting distance from the frying pan.

David Soares is a multi-dimensional disaster, set loose upon us--and regularly nourished--by craven liars like Rex Smith, and sex-worker paranoids like Bob Port.

Check out Rex's latest howler, a frolickingly moralizing classic he calls, "Go with what you've got":

[Prostitution] Charges at that level are filed against dozens of people in the Capital Region daily, so routinely that we don't consider them newsworthy. The only factor that might have led her name to appear in the newspaper, then, was that her employer's spouse works for the paper.

He really thinks we still believe this pathetic dissimulation, then,  just because his newspaper prints it.

At any rate, then, let's go with what we've got on Dinosaurous Rex. He is trying to tell us that if it had been Joe Bruno's wife's employee that had been arrested on prostitution charges with connotations of human-trafficking, it wouldn't have been "newsworthy" since "The only factor that might have led her name to appear in the newspaper, then, was that her employer's spouse" runs the New York State Senate. 

Nor can you leave a comment for Rex, although Rex says you can. This is because here's what you get if you try to "share your thoughts" with Rex.  The message actually reads,  "Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here." No shit, Rex.

This man's dishonesty is dangerously nauseating.

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: Fruit Loops at the Gate

I admit to a huge oversight. I completely failed to attribute David Soares and Stacey Quackenbush's busting through the backdoor of President Obama's event to exactly why that dangerous and idiotic stunt took place: Dave and Stacey do this because they cannot get the security clearance to get into the front door.

John Tigue at SID makes this point graphically. Really graphically. Seems he's posted some pictures demonstrating--if that's the right word here--that Stacey seems to hail from a family that's riddled with crime, big crime and small crime. And evidently some of whom are posing with assault weapons sticking out of windows. So undoubtedly this collage spooks the hell out of the Secret Service. It's got too. And for his part, Dave, as we know, has used a variety of names around a couple of crimes--at least crimes and names that we of minimal investigative firepower know about. God only knows what else is out there on him or what the Secret Service found.

So at the end of the day, we've got a district attorney and his girlfriend crashing the Secret Service gate at a presidential event because they probably can't get in otherwise.

District attorneys--with or without crime-tainted paramour--aren't supposed to do things like this, folks. It's acutely embarrassing and insulting to Albany County. At least, it should be. Especially given the fact that Soares, again, is supposed to be our chief law enforcement officer.

So why does this embarrassment and a long string of official incompetence and mendacity continue? You can start by looking right here. And that's where we started looking and ultimately ended up with their editor's manipulative malfeasance, self-righteousness and delusions of sanity. There are other shady characters involved, but this is the only primal explanation of David Soares. This "newspaper" is, what Ayn Rand would say, The Fountainhead--well at least The Fountainhead in the creation and sustenance of David Soares. (So I guess that makes Bob Port Ellsworth Toohey. Right? Except that Toohey wasn't insane.)

And as far as that scorched, post-NY Times-piece, landscape is concerned , just ask yourself what has the Albany County District Attorney done or said about these astounding accusations of constitutionally-stomping police-state "thugs?" These are big charges that no one should take lightly. But what does Dave do? He does nothing. Nada. Niente. A district attorney is supposed to lead the investigation into these things--and not clam-up like some Gambino capo. This is his job and nobody else's. So the only template that makes any long and short-range sense here is the Times-Union-in-the-tank template. The Times-Union's fluidly-flowing journalistic corruption in this regard is the only thing that makes head-and-tails of why and how Dave's incomprehensible dereliction of duty and highly-combustible liaisons are hidden from public view. Just look at these two pieces of disingenuous trash.

And please take my word for it, there so much more going on here above and beyond what launched the initial NY Times story. I'm also hearing that the Wall Street Journal is sniffing around this thing as well. I mean anybody that puts all these pieces together here is gonna have a interesting-as-hell, Pulitzer-caliber story.

But hey, if you've got a better explanation as to why this man continues to be district attorney, by all means send it our way. Albany Citizen One has an interesting take on all this.

And politically speaking, how does a guy who literally doesn't have the sense to get out of the rain get elected twice? We predicted/warned--numerous times--that this kind of thing was going to happen to Stacey if Dave persisted in behaving as if the reality of she and her family didn't exist. But here's the dumbest part, all these pictures come off Facebook or took about 15 seconds to round up on Google. These aren't some shots somebody paid a grand a piece for nor were they smuggled out of the bowels of some local police precinct or the US Department of Justice. They were up on Facebook, folks.

And just like Dave's arrests, God only knows what else is out there waiting for somebody to go beyond Facebook-grade research.

So you say, 'Oh, wow, that sure's particularly stupid to overlook these things." But not as grandly stupid as not-knowing this: These pictures were/are being shopped for quite some time over the blogsphere. I have had them for a while. So in other words, everybody's got 'em and/or knows about 'em. SID just happened to post them first. And he didn't post all of them either. There's a whole lot more of what can be considered even more "revealing." Expect these to be popping up someplace and soon.

Bear in mind that the guy who isn't capable of figuring any of this out wants to be your district attorney for four more years.

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: Strawberry Bob's Facebook Update

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: "Oh Baby, Just You Shut Your Mouth"

A SoaresSpot reader emails in this video of what he/she believes is used by Stawberry Bob as a pedagogical, existential and corporate training device.  Thematic highlights include:

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world

I have no way of knowing whether any of this is true or not.  But you can send an email to Rex Smith of the Albany Times-Union because if anyone would know, he would.  Just say something like: "Is it true that Strawberry Bob has swastikas in his head?" Perhaps: "Is it safe to say that Strawberry Bob wants to rule the world?"  Or even: "Has Strawberry Bob recently stated to you--or any Times-Union staff--'Oh baby, just you shut your mouth.'?"

[Doesn't Bowie still rock, even 30 years later?!]

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: SoaresSpot's Promised Update

Ah, yes that update I promised, sorry for the delay, SoaresSpot aficionados, but read on and you'll see why. And also why we were only half kidding when we said a few days ago to send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan.

Because it is getting downright nasty and even dangerous out there. Kind of like the Castellammarese War which, the more I think about it, the more salient it becomes. People with guns and bullets, shakedowns, backstabbing, treachery, strip searches, FBI, thugs, cops, lawyers, judges, hookers, corrupt newspapers, weirdo cults.

I could not on my absolute best day make stuff up like this.

As for the principal pinada in this, the bird's eye view is that the Times-Union is suing, panicking and thinking long and hard about Bob Port.

Not for nothing, we're consistently told Bob is not well-liked and kind of functions like an inveterate loud-mouthed, bullying, power-obsessed stunad. Bouncing around his female-Asian-themed office and projects like a cue ball on Saturday night. We like Bob though, at least here at SoaresSpot. We're really into fossils--especially talking ones. And generally into all paranoid, analog bullies in positions they shouldn't be.

The New York Times, from what I understand, is going nuclear, but not in any rush to flip the switch. And why should they be? They've got enough dirt already to sink a dozen politically-corrupt, pathologically-managed newspapers. I can say no more. (At least right now).

Again, everybody should expect this to be a war, not a battle--at least for the next week or so. Here's how it shakes out. In one corner, you've got the Hearst Corp. with the aforementioned Strawberry Bob at the helm. In the other, you've got the NY Times Corp. with a market cap someplace about $1B and all the resources--legal, editorial, influence, research, etc--that that market cap gets you. (It always comes down to money, doesn't it?)

Now Dave, from what I understand was in a really foul mood at his--and his favorite newspaper's--"Hey, look over here, everybody!" press-conference. He was pissy and defensive because of proliferating MSM attention to this entire thing; and the resulting cameras, microphones, the whole nine. Did he really think nobody'd ask? Yeah, probably. Dumb question, I suppose. But if this level of inquiry makes Paulo crabby, just what until Nightline (Sorry folks, we were wrong, it's not 60 Minutes) has its whack at him and his buddy MegaMind.

As for the trio of Dave Soares, Steve Krokoff and Craig Apple collectively and/or personally doing the right thing here, we hear that Soares will never do it, he can't, he's too invested in Port for obvious reasons. Apple will most likely do the right thing because he's a stand-up guy. As for Krokoff, he is just twisting, completely reactive--and also dealing with "massive dissention" in the Albany Police Department resulting from his politicized administration and recalcitrant partnership with Dave, especially around the Occupy Albany and the take-no-prisoner finger thrust straight into Andrew Cuomo's eye. All of which, of course, comes at the expense of his putative boss Mayor Jerry Jennings. So at the end of the day, none of this is good for Steve Krokoff.

If you want, you can watch Krokoff twist in the wind here. He does not inspire confidence. And as for who's sincere and forthcoming on this thing, just check out the differences in the statements of Krokoff and Apple.

Here's Krokoff (to the TU and NY Times):

TU: The Albany police chief on Thursday described the raid as unusual....

NYT: And the Albany police chief, Steven Krokoff, defended the arrest.

TU: "Neither the editor nor his wife have been implicated in any criminality whatsoever," said Albany Police Chief Steven Krokoff. "We have nothing that indicates that he had any idea or any knowledge of anything criminal going on."

NYT: “The Albany Police Department doesn’t get involved in conspiracies,” he said, adding, “The last thing I have is any ax to grind with The Times Union.”

Now here's Apple:

TU: Sheriff Craig Apple on Thursday said he is "very bothered" about the origin of the prostitution sting and will initiate an internal investigation. Apple disbanded the drug unit the day after the prostitution arrest, but he said it was not a factor in his decision. "I didn't like the direction the unit was going," he said.

NYT: The county sheriff, Craig Apple, disputed Mr. Port’s contention of a plot but said he had asked his internal affairs division to review his agency’s role in the case.

OK, so we got Krokoff and Apple on record, but where's Dave? Seems he didn't even bother to phone this one in. And that's because he cannot say a single word about any of this because of his bondage with Strawberry Bob by way of their heavy and mutual baggage.

Kinda makes your head spin, don't it? And I've got this feeling we haven't even scratched the surface yet. Again, I'm not imaginative or creative enough to make this kind of stuff up.

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: FUD Says Soares Should Investigate

If you want to listen to David Soares, Bob Port and the Albany Times-Union being ethically and professionally eviscerated listen to this podcast from the New York Post's Albany editor, Fred Dicker on his Friday show.

Dicker is merciless on these guys, including Rex Smith.

He also proposes an elegantly simple proposal to address the Times-Union's conflated assertion of Gestapo retribution tactics by the local police: Have Rex Smith propose that David Soares convene a grand jury investigation.

So Rex, stop suing everybody and just go for it, and let the chips fall where they will. Hey, you do this, maybe Bob Port quits, grabs wife, Dave and Mia, heads for Bangkok and they all open up shop there. Just tell Bob that in Thailand there aren't any wired, naked, masturbating, jackbooted thugs who'll be probing his employees' anuses.

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: Captain Bob Now At Helm of USS Times-Union

Captain "Strawberry Bob" Port, now at the helm and fully in control of the USS Times-Union's fate wants to know what pissed-off, jackbooted, anal-searching thugs stole his strawberries and ran over the tow-line and how his Executive Officer, Commander "Disloyal Dave" Soares, could have allowed all this to happen.

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: I'm Sue Happy This Weekend

Word on the street is that the Albany Times-Union is suing anybody and anything that disagrees with Bob Port. Somewhere out there seated and standing in a cool and quiet conference room is a platoon of lawyers with very, very big smiles. They're probably gonna get $850 an hour if they have to work the holiday weekend. So say 10 hours spent mulling Bob Port's impending and inexorable doom brings the firm $8,500. Then multiply that by say, 5 associates gets you to $42,500; multiply that by 3 and you're at $127,500 for the weekend. I mean just to get a live partner to return your call this weekend is gotta cost a grand.

But sure sounds like Bob's in a suing kind of mood:

“Obviously I have pissed some people off enough to the point where they would send in jackbooted thug police officers to do an anal search on someone I believe they thought was my wife,” Mr. Port said, adding, “I am enraged, I am angry.”

Bob says, "jackbooted thug police officers..." And this guy's an editor of investigations for a newspaper.

Do you think the Times-Union will run out of Bob Port's enemies or cash first?

Bob Port Memorial Day Project: The Cult--Prostitution Connection

As I indicated here, I find SID's discovery of Bob Port's spouse's attorney tremendously intriguing.

Here's the short version why:

DA Dave and family are members of transgressive cult NXIVM;

DA Dave's transgressive cult opens enemy-punishment-by-lawsuit offensive;

DA Dave allows his transgressive cult--in intensification of this offensive--to physically set up shop in his Albany County office and influence DA Dave and staff in this regard;

Editor Bob buries this widely-known fact for years, until two months ago;

Editor Bob's wife's business suffers prostitution arrest;

Editor Bob's wife's lawyer was/is spearhead of transgressive cult's enemy-punishment-by-lawsuit offensive that physically occupied and compromised DA Dave's office.

Keep in mind, none of the above is speculation, David Soares and the Albany-Times Union have publicly disclosed these things. Just click through the links and see for yourself.

It's gonna be a busy day, folks.

Bob Port Memorial Day

Sorry about the delay in posting today, folks, but it was a very long night.

I've got so much new stuff that's sitting in front of me, that it'll probably take me all day to get through. But I will. But you can start out your Bob Port Memorial Day Project by checking out two of SoaresSpot's favorite bloggers. Albany Citizen One says:

Then, the TU uses this excuse of “conspiracy” and “retaliation” for not printing this story when it happened!! The article is hilarious as every single entity named as part of the conspiracy theory has no idea what the TU is talking about…Jeff Jamison, Bob VanAmBurgh (for the Mayor), the Sheriff, Chief Krokoff…I wish I could see their faces when the Times asked about this conspiracy theory!! Ah! Hah! If they only knew!

Over the last six months, people kept whispering in my ear that I needed to look at Bob Port…I kept hearing that Port, who I’ve never heard of, was behind the burying of Soares exposure to scrutiny. Hey, get this, maybe the ever clever Soares whispered the “conspiracy theory” in the gullible “Professor of Journalism’s” ear and promised to protect him in his Ivory Tower if he didn’t expose Soares’ own demons…might this be a quid pro quo based on a fictiotious conspiracy theory?

Oh, my, thank you New York Times for this morning’s laugh…and VanDenBurgh (1300) sums up the story with “here we are…pointing the finger at no one.”

It's a very good post. But don't take my word for it, read the whole thing.

SoaresSpot other favorite blogger, the man that goes by SaratogaInDecline also has a searing and profane post this morning; of course, we'd expect no less of John, so shouldn't you. John writes, "Holy Shit; Spa rubs cops wrong way." He's got pictures too. He also unearths this hypnotically interesting (so much so that I'm writing a separate post addressing) cult monkey connection:

Now this story even has a NXIVM angle as Kevin Luibrand, a lawyer who represents both Mr. Port and Ms. Lin,is a card carrying NXIVM member #3839who actually sued cult hunter Rick Ross on behalf of Keith Raniere HERE

The balance of SID's post is as usual highly informing and entertaining. You should read all of this one too.
