STRONG MEN
One requests forbearance for the following copy and paste. One was unaware of a follow-up incident reported on local news that again shines light in dark Southern Tier corners. The newest story follows the copy and paste that sets the stage for the concern from some people about a growing ‘ole boy insinuation that may be founded upon the current “strong man” ideas of governance expressed by some mediocre political hacks. Some people view these self-defined “strong men” as the typical historical patriarchy that uses brutality, greed, and self-interest in place of statespersonship.Copy and paste—–
An ongoing concern for some people is the collaboration between lawmakers and law enforcement.
https://www.wbng.com/2024/01/25/mike-sigler-launches-campaign-state-senate/ – Sigler is running in the 52nd district, which encompasses most of Broome County and all of Cortland and Tompkins counties. The seat is currently held by Democrat Lea Webb, who narrowly won with a 51-49 margin in one of the state’s closest races in 2022. Sigler was endorsed tonight by Broome County Sheriff Fred Akshar.

One remembers in the treasure trove of memories, retired Broome County, NY Sheriff Harder saying that if someone wanted to be a lawmaker, she/he should run for the office. The implication seemed to be that the different functions of these 2 positions should be separate.
Sheriff Harder then went on to endorse his Deputy Sheriff Akshar for the position of NYS Senator, which was a successful run. So Current Sheriff Akshar, now no longer a lawmaker, had the opportunity to put into place the laws under which NYS citizens must labor. NYS-then-Senator Akshar jumped back to run for Broome County, NY Sheriff upon the retirement of Sheriff Harder. He now enforces the laws he helped enact.
Curiously Sheriff Harder then endorsed the opponent of current-Sheriff Akshar. Chaos may be the name of the game. Anywhoo……
Broome County, NY and environs now have the services of NYS Senator Lea Webb, who seems active and involved in her responsibilities.
But Sheriff Akshar, apparently unsatisfied with his position in law enforcement, is active in endorsements. After endorsing into a successful Broome County, NY DA Batisti, Sheriff Akshar is endorsing for NYS Senator Sigler. Reports suggest not only a crony-ship between Batisti and Akshar, but actual bureaucratic actions against a member of the public, in times past.
The Southern Tier of NYS is rife with domestic violence. An ‘ole-boy network isn’t helpful to those with less power.
Akshar, who was at the time involved in Broome County Sheriff David Harder’s re-election campaign, “was willing to join this plot” so Battisti, who was chairman of the Broome County Independence Party, would arrange for the party’s endorsement of Harder, according to the lawsuit filed by Binghamton attorney Ronald Benjamin.
Millus, in court papers arguing to have the lawsuit dismissed, said it “attempts to convert a common domestic relations dispute into a civil rights action,” but there is no evidence of any abuse of law enforcement or political influence in this case.
“Conspiracy theorists can find conspiracies under any set of circumstances,” Millus said in court papers. “But there is no proof of a conspiracy here, any more than there is proof that the first moon landing was a hoax.”

None of this seems illegal, only questionable. Citizens have the right to consider what surely can be called bureaucratic overreach. One suggests this includes a crony-ready bureaucracy running government.
During the special meeting Friday, Council Member Robert Cavanaugh said the city charter allows the council to fill all vacancies, whether due to retirement, resignation or a failure to elect.
“This law has been in place since at least 1970, 53 years,” Cavanaugh said. “The mayor’s interpretation is that we ignore the plain reading of our city charter, and decades of precedent, to rely on a carve-out provision in the older second-class cities law.”

The ‘ole-boy network; no definition but you know it when you see it. Patriarchy hasn’t proven to be a reliable system for leadership, only for power, arrogance, and hubris. Before this system is legally and legislatively installed even more than it is now, We The People should at least talk about it.

Unexpectedly new local news reports follow—-
With the new Broome County, NY Sheriff Akshar fresh out of the NYS Senate where he was enabled to make laws according to his wishes, and then endorsing into position DA Batisti, all functioning in the privileged position within patriarchy, and keeping in mind the illegitimate but now legal Supreme Court decision called Citizens United, and understanding that money has replaced Free Speech, some people notice the emphasis on big-money interests in local politics, in order to exploit human resources (people) and natural resources (the environment) for profiteering.
Another story recently informs of the ongoing fracking topic in NYS.

The Southern Tier of NYS is a hotbed of involved, responsible, and concerned citizens. Many carved out over a decade of their lives to challenge the devastation of our environment by profit for fracking. Some indeed used their voices to do so. One notices law enforcement and land-owning politicians and lawyers who now understand the need for censorship to permit said profiteering.
Patriarchy understands their waning ability to manipulate and control. So We The People need to be equally aware of our viability and integrity, and act according,
Some people recognize the patriarchal practices that self-serve at the expense of everyone else, and Mother Earth. Having suggested more than a few such books, the latest and perhaps most eye-popping is
Overview
In this highly controversial and explosive book, archaeologist, historian, mythologist and linguist Acharya S. marshals an enormous amount of startling evidence to demonstrate that Christianity and the story of Jesus Christ were created by members of various secret societies, mystery schools and religions in order to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion. In developing such a fabrication, this multinational cabal drew upon a multitude of myths and rituals that existed long before the Christian era, and reworked them for centuries into the religion passed down to us today. Contrary to popular belief, there was no single man who was at the genesis of Christianity; Jesus was many characters rolled into one. These characters personified the ubiquitous solar myth, and their exploits were well known, as reflected by such popular deities as Mithras, Heracles/Hercules, Dionysos and many others throughout the Roman Empire and beyond. The story of Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels is revealed to be nearly identical in detail to that of the earlier savior-gods Krishna and Horus, who for millennia preceding Christianity held great favor with the people. The Christ Conspiracy shows the Jesus character as not unique or original, not divine revelation. Christianity reinterprets the same extremely ancient body of knowledge that revolved around the celestial bodies and natural forces. The result of this myth making has been The Greatest Conspiracy ever sold.
If we are willing to tolerate genocide toward “the other” in the name of “spreading Western Values”, we needs to take the time to learn more.
Self-purported “strong men” may not be: They only be the psterchildren of brutality.
