WHAT HAS CHANGED

Lunatics attempt to retake the asylum

Zeitgeist

.
n. The spirit of the time; the taste and outlook characteristic of a period or generation!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Were you at the Special Nominating Convention of the Delegate Assembly on 25 July, 2008?

Were you at the Delegate Assembly meeting on July 11, 2008?

What happened in but a scant 14 days?

On July 11, the Delegate Assembly was treated to a shameful meltdown of VP Howie Silver; with President Loewenstein, in background” pulling his strings.

Do you remember; “If you don’t like it, there is the door.”
Do you remember the effort to sabotage the meeting by “introducing everybody and their brother” in a crude effort to run out the clock and prevent a motion from coming to the floor which was designed to restore Democracy to the Village.

Finally when the Board of Directors reversed President Loewenstein; he did the only right thing he has done in months, he resigned, as did VP Howie Silver, in a just expiation of their vile behavior.

The entire flaming Gotterdammerung was typical of the ongoing overt disrespect of the Unit Owners of Century Village.

If you have any doubt as to the shameful nature of the performance, please watch the “George and Howie show” Video recording of the entire event on our Village Service and information channel CVTV Channel 63 at 9:00am and 6:00pm.

Now, what happened at the Nominating Convention on 25 July??

In an incredible exercise of self flagellation, the body politic mortified itself by Nominating Mr. Loewenstein and Mr. Silver for President and Vice President respectively.

Should they be elected it would be a classical case of “The Lunatics Taking over the Asylum”
A theater of the absurd Marx Brothers farce!!
This reflects a zeitgeist of apathy, toadyism, naked patronage and religious coercion; it must not stand; those who believe in Balanced Democratic Government in the Sunshine must rise to crush this attempt to plunge us back into the quagmire of repression and secrecy.

DELEGATES, on July 11, 2008 you correctly asserted yourselves as THE Principle legal power in our Corporation; do not let the old regime snatch it back from you. On August 1, 2008 when you vote; REMEMBER July 11th. It was nothing less than our Declaration of Independence, our Bastille day!

What has changed that would justify some 50 persons rising as a body to second and thus reinstate the demonstrated reprobates to the corridors of UCO power; these supporters were part of the same body that but 14 days ago voted these two down.

So, what strange Machiavellian powers did they exercise; what coercion was employed? Was it the religion card that was typically played? Was it a threat to loose a job in UCO, or a spot on a Committee? What happened, Delegates, to cause you to lose your integrity and bow down at the alter of BAL!!!

Think about it; in any reputable Corporation in the Nation, if three key Directors, IE, the President, and two Vice Presidents had suddenly resigned, there would have been a lockdown of the Corporation records (was there any shredding of documents?) and a complete Forensic Audit of the books. What does Mr. Loewenstein have to hide that caused him to rush back from Israel to burst upon the Delegate Assembly with this bombshell?

I say again; what has changed?? Is Mr. Loewenstein now in full favor of completely Open Meetings, absent by permission of the Committee Chair? Is he now in favor of reaffirmation of Term Limits for Officers of UCO, is he now in favor of legal noticing of meetings?

Two Presidential Candidates, Phyllis Richland and David Israel have called for a full forensic audit of the Corporation Finances by an Independent Auditor or Accounting firm, not the cozy firm we use now; Will Mr. Loewenstein publicly call for such an audit??

If Mr. Loewenstein is reelected, is he prepared to inform the Unit Ownership exactly how much was paid to Attorney Denise Bleau in pursuit of a case less law suit; Is he prepared to present a line by line justification of the Budget; is he prepared to properly fund key projects like Shoreline restoration and hurricane deductible liability; Is he prepared to identify which Budget line items he raided to pay Ms. Bleau, is he prepared to restore amicable and business like relations with W.P.R.F., Inc. which he destroyed with baseless accusations…

What has changed to justify this shameless power grab??
