Go ahead King, sue them! Yeah, you didn't get a check from BP, but Trieste Associates is paid by BP and without Trieste you'd have no green t-shirts, bumper stickers or road signs. Quit denying the connection, we all know what money laundering means. BP is funding all of VFW's nonsense! They said so, read Curtin's letter where he quotes BP's public information plan.

Nice try, Voters for Wind.

Actually it isn't a nice try. It's pretty stupid.

Someone help me.

I can't recall the name for some of this logic stuff, but..

If BP = Trieste

and

If Trieste = VFW

therefore,

BP = VFW

This is just plain logical.

The term in logic that you were trying to recall is a "syllogism" -- a process of deduction with a major and minor premise leading to a conclusion.

And you have just articulated a very proper and accurate syllogism leading to your valid logical conclusion: BP = VFW.

"Julia E. Gosier, another member of Voters for Wind, said she has not read Mr. Curtin’s letter but echoed Mr. King’s sentiments."

What Marion Trieste has done here in Lyme and the Cape is the formation of a cult. A cult so dangerous that people like Julia have loss their ability to think on their own. A cult so dangerous that Voters for Wind have totally loss their sense of family, friends and community.

What I want to know is when does Bp send them a spaceship and whisk them off into a corporate heaven filled with Marion Trieste look alike angels and wind turbines that work without wind?

How many hundred of thousands of dollars have been sent into Lyme and CV into the pockets of wind supporters who have have never reported one nickel to the IRS.
Free gifts and services are taxable, too. Promises aren't though. Suckers like promises.

Mr. Kings assertion that VFW deserve intervenor funds is misguided whether, they have received money from BP or not.

The intervenor process is intended to provide an opportunity for potentially impacted persons or parties, to make a case that a proposed development may have consequences not addressed ,or minimized by its proponents.

Voters for Wind is obviously an advocate for BP, with most of its members being leaseholders or family, with direct interests to their project.

This claim for status as bonafide intervenor is about as legitmate ,and sensible as his claim that there was voter fraud in the last two elections, or that having an illegal conflict of interest is the equivalent of having an opinion.

Simply no logical basis.

VFW uses the BP office for training and meetings. Do you suppose anyone else would be allowed to do that? Wind proponents were schooled by someone within or close to the BP organization to lobby local organizations to take money. Get real Mr. King. I sure would like to be present to see your plea to the intervenor funding judge.

Hey everybody, reserve May 21 at 7:00 PM at the Cape Elementary school for an intervenor fund concert. We will hear and see legal harmony from Gary King and the SLAPP Tones singing their blockbuster hits, "You've[BP] Really Got a Hold on Me," "Gypsies, Tramps and Theives[VFW], and "I Just Want My Money, Dammit." Get your tickets at BP's office at the corner of Esselstyne and Broadway.

Aw shuks...I was hoping they would do an a cappella of "Bring in the Clowns"

Isn't it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air..
Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?
Don't you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can't move...
Where are the clowns?
Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.
Making my entrance again with my usual flair
Sure of my lines...
No one is there.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
And where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?
Isn't it queer?
Losing my timing this late in my career.
And where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns...
Well, maybe next year.

King and the SLAPP Tones will do an encore from Pink Flyod's 'Money:'

Money get back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off my stack

Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that
Do goody good bullshit

Oh, man I can't wait to hear the SLAPP Tones and 'der goody good bullshit.'

Will the Little Appalachia jug band do a warm up?

Will Maz lead the wind voters in her best presentation of "If yer happy and you know it, clap your hands"?

Marion said,

“So we can do a lot more good out there if we are seen as independent and are and acting as independent individual grassroots organizations.”

So Gary whatever you do make sure you keep believing and tell people that you have no connection to Bp. But please don't expect your former friends to think the same. Good grief man listen to yourself!

SLAPP is not funny. Only scum of the earth lawyers would even do a SLAPP.

This is another one of those times when voters for wind should have just kept their mouths shut.

If Julia Gosier had actually read the letter she would have known that Bp already confessed to a connection with Marion's favorite group in the whole world. And most people believe that in the case of big business connection means either sex or money or both.

Frankly, I think maybe, possibly or perhaps, Mr. King spent 2 many years in a profession dealing with people who couldn't talk back. Now, mind you, that is just my opinion, not a statement of fact.

Incidentally, Pandora, has'nt the two week interval for a judgement on your lawsuit elapsed? By my calculations its been at least 24 days.

No word?
