Darrel Aubertine

Only his Tailor Knows for Sure

People have been asking me how much influence has Darrel Aubertine had in the most recent political debacle in Cape Vincent (The Democrat Caucus.)

That is an excellent question. Darrel Aubertine is no stranger to political controversy,

The answer is ~

Only his Tailor knows for sure. ...

Darrel Aubertine began his political Career in Cape Vincent as Town Councilman.
Aubertine was elected to the Jefferson County Legislature began serving his term January of 1996.
However, Mr. Aubertine remained a member of the Cape Vincent Town Council for eleven weeks, before he resigned his Cape Vincent Town Council position effective April 1, 1996. Even though it was unclear in many minds, including Mr. Aubertine's, whether holding both elected offices was legal or ethical.
While holding both positions Aubertine did some cross promoting, he was instrumental in passing a legislative resolution March 27, 1996, supporting the efforts of certain Towns in Jefferson County (Cape Vincent & Clayton ) interested in the possible siting of a State Prison within Jefferson County. A copy of this resolution of support was forwarded to the Governor and the State of New York Department of Correctional Services.
Questions remain as to whether or not Aubertine had property listed as a potential site for a new prison.

Darrel Aubertine went on to make political history in Jefferson County New York
January 6, 1998, in an unprecedented move Darrel Aubertine became the first Democrat ever to lead Jefferson County government.
At a time when Republicans outnumbered Democrats on the board 12-3 Aubertine was elected by an 8-7 vote.
This Historical event was later characterized by some as the fumbling of Republican members of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators.
The six DISSIDENT REPUBLICANS who helped elect Aubertine to lead Jefferson County government later apologized in a letter to other members of the county GOP.
“We are not proud of the outcome and certainly had nothing to gain and much to lose by our actions”.
Prior to Mr. Aubertine’s being elected to the chairmanship he had supported Paul J. Warneck, R- Sackets Harbor for a second term as chairman.
Aubertine said that when it got right down to voting in January for a new Chairman, there was only one person he could trust: himself.

“There are no apologies for supporting myself,” Mr. Aubertine said.

Since the beginning Darrel Aubertine has had what may seem to some as a meteoric political rise to his position as a New York State Senator.
But this is far from the case.
After the strategic political maneuvering that gained Darrel Aubertine the chairmanship of the Jefferson County Board of Legislators , things began to accelerate to another level for Darrel Aubertine. August of 1999, Michael W. Schell, former head of the county Democrats, invited Aubertine to a ROCHESTER DINNER WITH HUD SECRETARY CUOMO and AG CHIEF GLICKMAN.
Mr. Schell, at this time is the head of New York's Democratic Executive Committee. They all drove to Rochester with Aubertine and met with two members of President Bill Clinton's cabinet in Rochester.
This meeting in Rochester was a crucial point in Darrel’s political career. People in high places were taking an interest in Darrel Aubertine.
Darrel Must have made a good impression , perhaps they decided that Down On the Farm Darrel could deliver the North Country to the Down State Democrats, Darrel made the grade and was moved on to the next stage of the game. Handpicked to become the new chosen one for the Albany insiders club . He had that aw shucks persona they needed to appeal to the North Country population as they knew they couldn’t. He is the perfect political decoy.

In the spring of 2000 Aubertine made an announcement~ "I have been asked to run for state Senate, but I've also been asked to run for Assembly,"Mr. Aubertine said. "I'm very flattered." By April of 2000 Aubertine announced that he had made a decision he will run for State Assembly. ( I am suprised he didn't try and do both at the same time)
Winning did not become a reality for Darrel until early spring of April 2002 when Assembly's Democrats give Aubertine a gift that money can't buy : Assembly district 118 was redrawn this was a major move that helped Aubertine tie up the election. He was elected three times beginning in 2002 to serve in the NY State Assembly representing the 118th or "River" District.Eventually moving on to become a NY State Senator fulfilling the obligations and ambitions of the voracious political machine that launched his political career.

Now one thing that the slick suits that were grooming Darrel for puppet hood did not count on was that Darrel is an ethical illusionist and along with that aw shucks persona comes his Cape Vincent code of ethical standards , an unwritten code of unethical standards so convoluted and twisted that they are intertwined in an incestuous tanglement of lies and contradictions that are mind numbing.
Just to name a few---

Darrel Aubertine signed two lease agreements on May 1, 2004 with NY Wind power LLC purchased by (Acciona) He has lied about this, not making the required financial disclosures.

Aubertine signed a bill that eliminated a tax penalty for converting land zoned for agricultural use to non-agricultural use.
Now, when a farmer hosts wind turbines on his land this bill eliminates a tax penalty for changing the use of the land from agricultural to non agricultural.

Additionally There is the infamous letter that (then Assemblyman) Aubertine wrote to the Cape Vincent town board informing them that it was their duty to vote even though they have conflicts of interest. Additionally Aubertine wrote that governing by referendum is unwise.
This upcoming vote had the potential of eliminating turbines from Aubertine’s neighborhood. And may have had the potential to benefit him financially.

Did Aubertine do these things to fulfill a clause in a wind lease that he has signed with Acciona Spain?

The clause~~~

Things have now come full circle for Darrel, back to his "grassroots".

Well, since George Bush was weened by the Rothchild family to enslave America, weening scumbags such as this is nothing new. The graphic reference to Napoleon brought that thought to mind. Though I wonder how many get the connections. Everything is related, and the game never changes. When Napoleon met his Waterloo, Rothchild was the first to know it. Debt rules the world, not conquerors. Columbus was not Spanish, either. We think we live in the 21st century, but those who rule the world live in the time of Jerusalem.

Ever notice how Darrel the bottom feeder always turns up in the middle of the slimy, scummy, crap in Cape

You can always tell a scumbag, you just can't tell them very much. A scumbag will tell you that cream rises to the top. But a farmer will tell you that's where all the flies and other crap sit. This is where Cape Vincent just needs to do a little skimming and filter out the scum. In my entire life , especially growing up on a farm, have I ever seen a politician put food on anyone's table but their own.

During the ICE STORM 1998 Aubertine was able to put hot food on his plate. He generously generated to himself one from the shelf. I am entitled said he this is what his Drum beat would be from here to eternity Daryl did oink it's all about me, me, me...

Darrel feels no shame for any of this. It looks like baby girl is trying to follow in his footsteps, complete with lies about signed contracts. Frank Giaquintas famous quote, " me and Darrel are the ones what brung wind to the Cape" It would only be funny if it were not true.

Looks like a doll someone would throw on top of a pile of garbage at the town dump and no one cares to pick it up. As long as scumbags have a place to gather, they will. Why they prefer town hall and eating at the public trough is obvious. They get to be at the front of the line when the Federal Government serves up the slop called "subsidies". Meanwhile, coming up with more ways to siphon off revenue. That's all they do. That's all scumbags know how to do.

"Open space and farmland". They actually called it a "trust". I guess they don't trust civilians with corruption and greed. The "war on crime" is like any one of their "wars". It's simply the war on competition. What was the first war most people ever heard about? The war on poverty. It appears they use the same perverted approach to all the other "wars". They always get worse. What comes after the "war on terror". We'll see about that after they get complete control of your water resources.

The word meaning "bundle of sticks" is ultimately derived, via Old French, Italian and Vulgar Latin, from Latin fascis (also the origin of the word fascism).[4] The origins of the word as an offensive epithet for homosexuals are, however, rather obscure, although the word has been used in English since the late 16th century as an abusive term for women, particularly old women,[5] and reference to homosexuality may derive from this,[6] female terms being often used with reference to homosexual or effeminate men (cf. nancy, sissy, queen). The application of the term to old women is possibly a shortening of the term "faggot-gatherer", applied in the 19th century to people, especially older widows, who made a meagre living by gathering and selling firewood.[7] It may also derive from the sense of "something awkward to be carried" (compare the use of the word "baggage" as a pejorative term for old people in general).[4] Use of the word as a general insult, not necessarily implying homosexuality, is either a continuation or extension of this older usage[5] or of the homosexual usage. (The bundle of sticks was also a pack of cigarettes the "faggot" would carry for rich boys in school forbidding cigarettes.) I hope this clarifies Mr. Aubetine's position.
