Another FAKE!
Another day, another fake Facebook account.
This is a little different than yesterday's fake FB account, because this fake account allegedly impersonated a Hoboken mayoral candidate.
So, what's the point? A "fake" Bhalla can like, post, and comment to create all kinds of conflict, embarrassment and trouble for the candidate. In fact...
GA heard that "Ravinder Singh Bhalla" had "liked"an anti-Brian Stack Facebook page, that behooved a look on Facebook...
And there it was!
Which campaign is responsible?
It is unknown unless any wish to take credit.
The nasty, sleazy, DeFusco campaign has already advertised that "Tim Daly, Vijay Chadhuari and Gray Holtzman like Mike DeFusco for Mayor"- FALSE- and is believed to be creating Facebook accounts ("Stephan Borr") to hurt opponents and boost their own flagging poll numbers.
Be on the lookout for Facebook FRAUD.
Hoboken has NOT seen such a slimy, negative election since... well, Beth Mason's in 2011!
Hoboken has not seen this much loot swishing around a mayoral race since Beth Mason's 2009 mayoral double-header!
DeFusco's full-color 4-page mailer in the dead of August, instant attack press-releases, opposition research, fake facebook accounts... Vision Media on board (hear that Frank 'Pupie' Raia?)... and it's just August.
It appears the only thing the campaign has not done (again) is poll.
That's because the campaign's first poll was a disaster; Mike DeFusco's poll results were so bad, it was rumored that his big donors were pulling out. Then, Mayor Zimmer dropped out and all bets were off!
Count on this: DeFusco's expensive, 4-color mailer sent city-wide is just the beginning. Wait until the fake special interest groups storm your mailbox!
GA Note: It hasn't gone unnoticed that Giattino's 'Resistance' blog has published only DeFusco's quote attacking Ravi Bhalla. Giattino's "Resistance" blog declined to publish Ravi's quote defending himself (yeah, right read it at the link). Strange bedfellows.
Wow. So many lies in this blog . Your blog itself is much worse than the accusations you are making , you give the #TeamBhalla and its supporters a horrible reputation
ReplyDeleteI skimmed the article and came down to the comments... seeing "Wow so many lies in this blog" led me to believe it was actually authored by Pinocchio DeFusco himself!!
DeleteAnd you are putting words on children of people that are politically involved in Hoboken . How dare you ? Didn't a judge tell you once that family and specifically children were off limits ? I wish you would do a more thorough research before posting lies here .. but that's just too much to ask for unhappy uneducated people.
ReplyDeleteUm, no a "judge" did not say those words- you did. Mike DeFusco shouldn't drag children into his filthy campaign. I digitized the child's face because I do not believe in using children in political advertising. Apparently your guy does.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sir Spam-a-Lot. Your link doesn't support your libelous claim. Your Guest Pass here has been rescinded.
DeleteAnd you define who and what is filthy ? .. yeah ..no .. this doesn't sound right .. you have no standards ..
ReplyDeleteHO there's a serious accusation of wrongdoing here. A fake Ravi Facebook account was apparently fraudulently created and fraudulently used to try to damage ravi's relationship with Brian Stack. It may also have been used for other fraudulent purposes.
ReplyDeleteAt minimum there is significant potential civil exposure and potentially criminal exposure as well for whoever the perpetrator is.
And all you've done is try to deflect and change the subject. You haven't even tried to deny responsibility.
If true and if it turns out the DeFusco campaign is responsible this is not a small matter. If Councilman DeFusco we're smart he'd be lawyering up and preemptively firing everyone involved to mitigate damages.
Hopefully he wouldn't have to fire himself.
"If Councilman DeFusco were smart"
Deletelol you answered your own question. I wouldn't expect him to do anything smart any time soon, obviously. This guy makes Jason Ellis with his extreme right wing Trump-ian views look like a sweetheart by comparison, and he has all those weak views on minorities in town. Terrible stuff across the board.
Hoboken Out what precisely do you define as GA's lie? Here's a list of statements that you can define as true or false:
ReplyDeleteU
1. There is no person named Stephan Borr who attends Stevens Institute.
True or False?
2. A Facebook account under the above name and affiliation used to exist?
True or False?
3. That account posted on Michael's FB page and Ravi's FB page and the posts favored Michael and did not favor Ravi.
True or False?
4. Facebook determined the account was fake and deleted it.
True or False?
5. While it has not been established (perhaps a criminal investigation will it's not tough to trace IP addresses) that this fake account was created by the DeFusco campaign, the account benefitted it.
True or False?
I feel sorry for Michael. Beth engaged in this nonsense. Peter who you supported enthusiastically engaged in this nonsense. Look at them now. I would like to see all candidates condemn this nonsense and pledge to run issues-based campaigns.
HO's just a trolling MDF shill, i can't even be bothered to respond to the weak "points" he's trying to make. he never answers legit questions, so at this point NO ONE cares what he says. this is what happens when a desperate candidate has a ton of money to waste, carelessly throws cash at anything with a pulse.
ReplyDeleteI think MDF was clear in front of a camera and everyone else , and to Ravi's face that there is a conflict of interest between him and Suez .. I don't think he would need to impersonate him on Facebook or create fake accounts , however , you all assume that it's all MDF and that is ok ..
ReplyDeleteGA fake posts all over this blog and Facebook do the same thing .. it seems the Reform Has used the same tactics for longer . what a joke of a blog and hypocrite followers the Reform has you bitter .. old .. hoboken
if this blog is such a joke, why are you here arguing 10 times a day? again, not answering any questions above, too busy shilling. pay attention: no. one. cares.
DeleteI enjoy pissing you off and wasting your time
DeleteYou don't piss anyone off, Hobokened Out. It is you who are under surveillance.
DeleteHO is providing a lesson in why running for office is best left to grown-ups.
ReplyDeleteRavi recused himself pending legal review meaning he acted completely appropriately whether or not there ultimately turns out to be a legal conflict requiring recusal (defusco isn't the arbiter of that).
Identity theft is a crime.
When Mike speaks to a lawyer I'm sure he will have the difference between the two situations explained to him. If he's involved with this Facebook scam he should have that conversation sooner rather than later.
HO - Suggest you guys review this statute: N.J.S.A. 2C:21-17
DeleteThis is no joke.
It's hard to believe anybody could be this stupid.

DeleteI had no idea this was so serious. What about making up a fake identity, like Stephan Borr, for example?
Don't think creating a fake identity is a crime unless it's used to defraud someone. Using ravi's name to damage him politically by doing stuff like liking an anti stack website seems to fall directly under the impersonation provision of the law. If Ravi chooses to file a complaint the perp here could be in big trouble.
DeleteRavi is such a nice guy that I'll bet an apology is all he'd need to move on without filing a complaint. If I were the perp I'd do that and head this off before it's too late.
His teeth look great! The green really brings out the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI guess none of us should have expected anything different from Pinocchio DeFusco. Many people have been calling him Pinocchio for the obvious lying and having the developers pull his strings to make him dance like the puppet he is, and I like the Pinocchio/Devil mixture we have going on with these pictures. Fits him well!
ReplyDelete2 Corinthians 11:14
Delete…For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their actions.…
HO sounds a lot like some who come to town, hate everything about it as his name suggests, then they move out anyway, but not before making themselves and everyone they come in contact with miserable. He can't even say anything positive about his candidate of choice, MediumDensityFiberboard, but can only go on the attack for the other candidates.
ReplyDeleteMostly Developer Funding?
DeleteI found this cute tweety bird puppet made out of MDF online

Mostly Developer Funding FTW, LOL! perfect, kudos RR.
DeleteThere is something I have to add to all this. Okay, we all know FB is FaceBook. But FBB? One explanation I offer is Face Book Bluffing – something that takes place all over the world all the time. Someone has to talk about this.
