A day in the Life of a "Soldier" for Beth Mason

Bang!  Bang!  Bang!

The day is Monday, January 10, 2011.

12:24 AM:  Beth Mason attorney, Steve Kleinmen, emails Mason "business partner" James Barracato .  Kleinman anticipates that Mason will be criticized about voting down budget appropriations at the City Council meeting that evening. Kleinman tells Barracato "don't let them claim this is an unprecedented action," recounting that in 2008 the Council unanimously voted to "cut almost all spending off."  Kleinman attaches "relevant meeting minutes" from 2008.
1:11 AM: James Barracato forwards Kleinman's email and attachments to Lane Bajardi, telling him:  "411 should do a story on this before the Council meeting tonight." 

1:20 AM: Lane Bajardi sends Perry Klaussen  his "Emergency Council Meeting Preview."   Klaussen publishes the ghost-written preview that morning.

12:39 PM: Barracato sends Lane Bajardi the leaked memo "Mayoral Memo.pdf."  The document was leaked by (at least) one member of the City Council (his/her identiyy lies ahead... keep reading!)

EMAIL ATTACHMENT
 "Mayoral Memo"
  4:56 PM :  Jamie Cryan forwards an email to James Barracato  with the message: "Interesting update for the 411 article." The subject of Cryan's email is "Memo from Mayor Zimmer." The email includes a chain of communications between various parties starting on January 9, 2011 with the leak of the Mayor's memo by [City Councilperson].  This Councilperson leaks the memo directly to Jaime Cryan, attorney Michael Goldberg, Alex Habib and Paul Lichstein.
5:04 PM: Barracato forwards Cryan's email to Lane Bajardi.  Go find the City Council leaker!  GA highlighted the leaky Councilperson's name just for you.





 8:12 PM: Lane Bajardi is at the City Council meeting.  He and Perry Klaussen exchange polite banter by email.


8:25 PM:  Lane Bajardi at the mic and on the attack! He infers he learned about the Mayor's memo by "rumors on the street..."

Bajardi:  "My point, and I'd be happy to republish on, on some blog somewhere the incredibly hostile commentary of Ms. Paparone to members of the public including myself, and members of this council. So it is truly laughable and at a later date I will take it up at an appropriate time to show Ms. Paparone for what she is. Moving on... work with the administration, this is what the minority wants the majority to do... work with the administration. The administration is not only refusing to give budget information to the minor... majority of this council, refusing outright to give budget information on an ongoing basis but is also putting out memos directing members of this council to avoid contact with individuals who work for this city and to direct all questions to Mr. Liston, if the rumors on the street are to be believed… no Mr. Liston… I’m not asking for you to..."
8:38 PM:  Lane Bajardi emails Beth Mason.


11:40 PM:  Beth Mason replies to Lane Bajardi.
11:41 PM: Beth Mason calls Lane Bajardi on his Verizon Wireless line.  The call lasts 93 minutes.
 

Beth Mason's army

Comments

  1. All the rest of the vile comments from Lane Bajardi in these emails put aside for a moment, for him to be making derogatory comments about a woman "She is really packing on the pounds on." when he is married to Kimberly Cardinal-Bajardi is very funny.

    Although maybe not for Kim if she reading this now.

  2. What a vile little man. Also the whole "I'm not a political operative" thing really becomes tough to believe if an independent person read a single email he wrote, let alone for those who have seen the public antics for some time.

    Nice job releasing those confidential communications there Occhipinti. Can he be punished or admonished in any way for that?

    Really rooting for the SLAPP back lawsuit from the true victims to recover expenses and to win some damages for this frivolous thing being filed in the first place

  3. Beth Mason must be so proud of her whole team: Jamie, Timmy, Michael Goldberg, Steve Kleinman, Perry & Perry, of course Laney!

    Love how Mason's wee minion talks about "hate." Projection much there little man!
    Perry's bile is no surprise either with "dick head scum fuck."

    Yeah, these people are completely reality based. The Hoboken Police Department should make note of all this. These people are absolutely deranged.

    All the harm Beth Mason attempted to dump on Hoboken and her equally depraved minions.

    All of them are absolutely disgusting!

  4. What's striking to me is his definition of the word "lie." To him, "truth" isn't a concept, its a technicality. Lenz is "lying" when he speculates that Red Haven is Kim because Red Haven is in fact Lane. Lane is telling the truth when he says Kim isn't Red Haven even though for the purpose of any discussion its a lie since he and Kim are interchangeable parts.

    Lane is telling the truth when he says he didn't get the memo from Beth because he got it from Jamie Cryan who got it from TimO who I guess are nicknamed "the street" since Lane claimed that's where he heard it from.

    The guy spends his life trying to mislead while being "technically" accurate. Ezcept of course when he flat out lies which he does whenever "technically accurate" doesn't work out.

    1. Dealing in half truths and whole lies to attack others and defend themselves seem to be the standard of ethics for Beth Mason and those who she surrounds herself.

      A truly dispicable low standard for an elected official, a news reader or any human being.

  5. How Dare Lane Bacardi to mock a woman's weight? Does he not realize Kim is morbidly obese?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Lane mocks a "Mel's" Weight while having an obese wife and mocked Tony Soares for years on his height when he himself is short.
    I'd take "Mel" or Soares any day over those vicious monsters Kim and Lane any day

  7. Here is what Lenz said at the January 10, 2011 City Council meeting which apparently prompted Kim to want to "file charges:"

    Lenz: Um, and lastly... and lastly, the idea of Lane Bajardi who has done more than any other human being in this city to lower the standard of public debate standing at the microphone, talking about other people when I firmly believe, I have no proof- I firmly believe that he writes everything that's on Hoboken411 and spins it in his own way, lying, making stuff up, assassinating character. If you Google my name, you see a list of things written by Mr. Bajardi, when he, under the name- I firmly believe and have no proof- Profesor Pinetop writes on Hoboken411 and has for years some of the most vicious and horrible things. When he, his wife, under the name Red Haven writes some of the most horrible and vicious things, on the name- my belief, I have no proof... for him to be talking about people assassinating people on the internet, I personally believe and have said for years, that anonymous blogging is a cancer. I said anonymous letters are a cancer. Whatever Melissa Paperone has ever said and I disagree with some of it, I disagree with an awful lot of it as it pertains to me...

    Councilwoman Castellano: President, please...

    Lenz: ...the fact is this: she says it and stands behind it. Unlike Mr. Bajardi. Thank you very much.

  8. One thing I find hilarious and weird is their apparent belief that 411 was such critical media outlet that they had to work until 3am to produce expertly crafted pro-Beth fluff/anti-administration attacks. HEEELLLLOOO!? Not one gave a shit about what was in 411, and all their efforts in posting BS did NOTHING to advance Beth Mason, her causes or her political career. Nothing, zero, zilch. OK, she managed to serve as council president for a month or two but besides that...what?

    Truly a delusional crew, like a bunch of little kids playing "government" in the back yard.

  9. Hi, Mel here:

    My first thought reading this is I was MUCH fatter in 2008 than 2011 when this email was written, so bawahahahahahaha they missed their real moment to make fun.

    Second: I was harassed more than once because some twit gave my name as the person posting as Katie Scarlett to unhinged individuals. It is the height of hypocrisy for Lane to take umbrage with being called out for being this or that screen name while he's denouncing me as Katie Scarlett.

    Third: If I were as universally despised as the Bajardis, I'd never leave my house again or I'd enter the witness protection program.

    As for Lenz's comments - I thanked him that night. He's right, I will stand behind what I say. I will never admit to posting under ANY anonymous screen name for a variety of reasons, but I will stand behind things I believe/say. And I always stand behind what I post as Mel.

    -Mel

    ps- I moved out of Hoboken in 2013 & although I miss some of the great stuff in town, I don't miss these people/issues. God-willing they go off into obscurity within the next 10 months.

    pps- If anyone is keeping score, I am on my home computer posting this AFTER logging off for the day.

  11. How that guy ever got hired in broadcast after this....is one of the greatest wonders....

    1. Because before this trail it was hearsay and rumor, now there is documentation and proof as to Mr. Bajardi's true nature.

      The better question, what are his chances of keeping his current job or ever advancing after this lawsuit.

    2. Insane Drama QueenMarch 10, 2015 at 7:41 PM

      Mr. Bajardi AND Mrs Bajardi. She wants to "charge" Lenz for stating his opinion? Both of them make their living off the first Amendment, and both have been neck deep in Hoboken politics for years. Both are public figures in the context of Hoboken politics and fair game for spoken and written comment. Don't like it? Tough $hit. You've been dishing it out for years, and like cowards under screen names. You wanna dish it out but sue when you get it back? No more waterworks, weepy drama queen. We're onto your act.

    3. at the time they were out of work for two years ... wow, must have won the lottery....

  12. If the shoe was on the other foot and people from reform were exposed for nastiness like this, the Mason minions would be proactively pitching this story to the NY Post and elsewhere. Unfortunately, we live in a journalism wasteland and can't expect our local media to have the interest (or balls) to pay attention, investigate and cover it on their own. Sad.

  13. Lane to Beth: " I was also concerned you might be annoyed with me..."

    That is just creepy... sounds like a guy speaking to his lover apologizing for leaving the seat up. Lane and Kim are such a freak show.

  15. This crew passes confidential City documents around like Halloween candy.

    Bajardi has emails stolen from Mayor Zimmer, Barracato smuggles 60,000 stolen hospital emails to a reporter, Tim-O leaks the mayor's memo to...everyone. i imagine that's the tip of the ice berg. More please! Should law enforcement send Plaintiffs a Thank You card?

    1. That's a lie! I did not know that I had those stolen emails in my possession per se. I never read them and if I did I don't remember reading them because I wasn't interested in them. I was much more interested in sabotaging Dawn on the municipal garage.

      Everyone knows that.

  17. I thought Lane dug fat chicks?

    1. But Beth's not fat. It's obvious that Lane Bacardi was emotionally in love with Beth Mason. The way he looks at her, his mannerisms in photos and videos , his willingness to throw his career and family into chaos and poverty all in the name of Beth Mason's crusade to become Mayor. Between late night emails, phone calls, community meeting tirades and council speeches Lane seemed to spend more time WITH Beth Mason and FOR Beth Mason than his own wife and kid

    2. And didn't Lane once tell a certain Hobokenite that he and Beth were going to "own your condo"?

  18. Reminds me of the Sesame Street song..."Three of these things belong long together but one these does not"
    Lane the only soldier that wasn't being paid... In the might words of Arch Liston "yeah I believe that" http://youtu.be/2VFG5fQHMro

  19. "Kim is beside herself?"

    Based on their cruelty towards others a fat joke about Kim would be appropriate at this time:

    When you're Kim's size, the only person that can fit beside her is "herself"

  20. Much like Carmelo Garcia's recording calling Frank "Pupie" Raia a "buffoon" these insider e-mail insults are reverberating at all levels of the old guard because they are from people who they thought would would tow the line.
    One prominent high profile old guard family is said to be is furious at the " La Famiglia" Italian slur from people they feel owe them big time.
    As the old saying goes "If mama isn't happy, nobody is happy."

    2. Yes, notice he hasn't surfaced. Cake job while pillow puppet got zilch.

      They are the only "yuppies" who didn't get that they were being used. The familia crew was being used also, but they don't do anything unless their palms are greased or in Mr. Carmelo's case, butt.

      Delete
    3. Lane and Kim aren't real Yuppies. The "U"and "P" in "Yuppie" stands for "U"upwardly Mobile "P"professional.

      He's certainly not moving up if he went from Bloomberg's Cable and "Airport Lounge TV" Financial news feeds and now on the graveyard shift of a waning AM news radio station , "Living in a 5th floor walk- up"

      Looks like Lane and Kim ate the food chain they thought they were higher up on....

  22. Jamie is the Parking Authority Director of West NY. Too bad his skeletons will never permit him to run for a major office outside of "Democratic Committee"
