Andy Martin exposes corrupt “journalism” in Colebrook, New

New Hampshire corruption fighter Andy Martin exposes local media
corruption in Colebrook, New Hampshire and explains how New

Re: Article concerning The Balsams

I am responding to the misrepresentations and distortions in your article about my lawsuit involving The Balsams hotel. It would be helpful if in the course of publishing lies and distortions (which I assume are part of your “independence”) you also provided your readers with the facts.

I have received a lot of confused contacts from your readers, all of whom have been misled by your article concerning my lawsuit in Concord.

First, for the past several years the Neil Tillotson Trust has been mismanaged and corrupted by “trustees” who were serving their own interests instead of the interests of the trust established by Mr. Tillotson. Mr. Tillotson left tens of millions of dollars in trust for the benefit of people in the North Country. Instead of benefiting the North Country the trustees have used their power over the Tillotson assets to injure local residents.

The “trustees” originally “sold” The Balsams in 2011 to a “buyer” who paid no down payment and who fired the staff before taking ownership. At the time, in August, 2011, The Balsams was a world class hotel with world class facilities and a world class staff that was serving a loyal clientele. In a difficult economy The Balsams was doing comparatively well financially and supporting perhaps 1,000 people in the North Country.

Instead of preserving the “going concern” value of the hotel the trustees abruptly closed the hotel and terminated the hotel’s approximately 300 full and part-time employees. Nevertheless, the physical facilities remained intact and The Balsams could have been reopened within a few days.

In November, 2011 the trustees then entered into a secret sale with a couple of Coos County real estate hucksters. The Attorney General, who is supposed to protect the public by reviewing the contract, protected the interests of crooked insiders and speculators. The request for approval of the sale by the Attorney General was filed on Thanksgiving eve, and approved, secretly, in four days.

I filed a Right To Know Law request with the Attorney General. The AG refused to produce any of the “sale” documents. I filed a lawsuit in Merrimack County Superior Court. The Superior Court Justice agreed with me and ordered the AG to turn over files and records involving the “sales.” The AG refused to turn over the complete files, in defiance of a court order. Why was there no mention of this court order in your “news” article?

In the meantime the hotel had been turned over to Daniel Hebert and Daniel Dagesse, two Colebrook people (so I suppose you have a local bias in their favor, notwithstanding their unethical conduct, and against me, despite the fact I am the only one working to preserve local North Country jobs).

As soon as Hebert/Dagesse took control of The Balsams they refused to reopen the hotel, which could have been reopened for the winter season, and they took steps to make it impossible for the hotel to ever be reopened. They stripped all of the hotel's interior assets and auctioned off the contents, so that the hotel was effectively destroyed as a going concern.

More importantly, the Attorney General had approved a fiduciary “sale” to two speculators (Hebert and Dagesse) who purchased the property without the financial resources to remodel the hotel. The claim that Hebert and Dagesse have or had plans to “remodel and reopen” is a fraud. Hebert and Dagesse were intentionally involved in a “pump and dump” real estate scam. Hebert and Dagesse promptly sold off the hotel contents, and collected real estate easement cash, so they now have no meaningful investment in The Balsams property at this time. They are trying to resell the hotel for a quick $5 million profit. Why don't you report that? Or don’t you know what is happening in Coos County? Those are the unpleasant facts.

The potential “profit” legally belongs to the people of the North Country. It was stolen from them by Lynch, Delaney, Hebert and Dagesse.

Ask yourself: who would buy a multi-million dollar property without any cash to begin the remodeling? Who would buy a property without having lined up the financing in advance? A person who planned to resell, that's who. A real estate speculator who had no intention of remodeling and reopening, that’s who. Hebert and Dagesse’s plan was always to pull their cash out by liquidating the contents of the hotel and then selling off easements, so they could turn around and market the property at a massive profit to themselves.

Who got shafted in this real estate scam? Why the beneficiaries
of the Neil Tillotson Trust, that’s who. The little people.  The working people. The people of the North Country that Neil Tillotson loved.

The only person working to protect the working people of the
North Country is me. But you would never get that impression
from your biased and unbalanced story.

The hotel will never be remodeled under Hebert and Dagesse. They
admit they don’t have the money. They are nothing frauds and speculators who abused the sweat-and-blood of local employees for their own personal gain. They could have opened the hotel last December if their intention was to reopen and remodel. Hotels such as The Breakers in Palm Beach and the Waldorf-Astoria in New York have remodeled while remaining open and not firing their employees. Those are the facts.

Maybe “The News and Sentinel” should try providing your readers
with the truth and the facts, instead of trying to distort and misrepresent my half century of unblemished efforts to successfully fight political corruption and to expose dishonest public officials such as Attorney General Michael Delaney and Governor John Lynch. Near as I can tell you don’t report the “news” and you are not much of a “sentinel.”

You should also advise your readers that your article on me was
written without any effort to contact me for comment. That is a highly unprofessional style of journalism. The people of the North Country are being short-changed in more ways than one.

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin will stage a Ralph Lauren store protest over “Made in China” Olympic duds

Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin will stage a protest Friday and hold a news conference to demand that the Ralph Lauren company assume the financial responsibility for  producing a new set of “Made in USA” clothing for the US Olympic Team. “Ralph Lauren has managed to do something no other candidate in either party has accomplished,” Andy says. “He has united Americans, liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, in opposition to Lauren’s ‘Made in China’ Olympic duds for our athletes. What was Mr. Lauren’s company thinking? The duds are a dud. I call on Lauren & Co. to replace all of the bad clothing on an expedited basis with new ‘Made in USA’ uniforms. And as for the hats/caps, can we have something else, please?” Andy says. Andy will not be wearing Ralph Lauren clothing at his news conference. Andy salutes ABC News for leading the way with “Made in USA”-focused reporting.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE



ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW YORK DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS



Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says the Ralph Lauren company should replace, at its own cost, all of the clothing for the US Olympic Team with “Made in USA” garments



Andy says the “Made in China” Olympic uniforms for American athletes are a disastrous business strategy for Lauren; the incident may prompt a boycott of the firm’s entire product line



Andy says Ralph Lauren has managed to unite Americans, liberals, conservatives, Democrats, and Republicans in opposition to Lauren’s insensitive and insulting product sourcing



Andy says Lauren should also redesign the Olympic caps/hats.



Andy says ABC News is doing “great work” is covering “Made in America” issues



Andy says the US Olympic Committee is also manifesting a “tin ear” for the “mood” of the American people by ignoring the “Made in USA” controversy



(NEW YORK) (July 13, 2012) Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today, Friday the 13th, outside the Ralph Lauren store at 867 Madison Avenue, to announce he is asking the Ralph Lauren company to replace the “Made in China” uniforms that Lauren produced for the US Olympic team.



“Congratulations to Ralph Lauren,” Andy says. “He has managed to accomplish something no one else has. Not Obama, not Romney, not no one. Liberals, conservatives, Democrats and Republicans are all up in arms over Lauren’s product sourcing. Finally we can agree on an issue: Senator Harry Reid’s ‘bonfire of the uniforms.’



“This incident is being treated lightly by some media, but the Olympic clothing controversy is a ‘sign of the times.’ The mood of the American people has shifted. In earlier years we might have ignored the China-made garments. But economic patriotism is back in style. Americans are fed up with exporting jobs and exporting our economy to China. There is no reason why we can’t make our own clothing.



“Both political parties have been guilty of profiting from and allowing outsourcing. But Americans are increasingly united in condemning the callous outsourcing that led to ‘Made in China’ uniforms for our Olympic athletes and has devastated our economic recovery.



“Ralph Lauren has united all of us in opposition to his product sourcing. Belatedly, as a nation, Americans have realized that importing everything and producing nothing is a prescription for national economic suicide. Lauren’s Olympic gaffe was the last straw, the frosting on the cake. The US Olympic Committee is also insensitive; the committee is trying to blow off the clothing controversy. Wrong.



“The Ralph Lauren company might feel the future sting of a boycott affecting its entire product line if buyers refuse to patronize a firm that poked a finger in the eyes of our Olympians. What was Lauren’s product sourcing department thinking?



“I think ABC news should also be congratulated for its reporting. David Muir began the ‘Made in America’ reporting last year for ABC World News. Outstanding. ABC News carried the Made in America meme into the last Christmas season.



“Bottom line: we are in a self-created, America-created, politician-created recession. Neither Romney (my candidate) nor Obama have adopted a ‘Made in USA’ policy as a first priority and started working with American firms to retool for domestic consumption. ABC News should be congratulated for its ‘Made in America’ series, of which the Olympic uniform kerfuffle is just the latest installment. Great work ABC.



“Now when will our politicians catch up with the American people?” Andy asks. “If Americans would start ‘Buying American,’ the recession would be over tomorrow. Let’s get started by condemning Ralph Lauren and encouraging other sectors to adopt a made in America policy.” [Note: there will be no Reid-style “bonfire” at Andy’s news conference.]

NEW YORK NEWS CONFERENCE Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin says Jesse Jackson should step down from office

Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin says U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. is an embarrassment to the City of Chicago and Illinois politics; Jackson should resign from office. Andy says the “Jesse Jackson soap opera” is making a joke of Chicago at a time when the city faces urgent problems. Andy will hold a New York news conference today to announce he will file a complaint with the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot if the missing congressman does not appear by July 16th. “If Jackson has not resigned or appeared personally in public and made coherent remarks I will take action at the Illinois State Board of Elections Monday, July 16th to ask the SBE to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and to declare the congressional seat vacant,” Andy says. “Jackson is not entitled to ‘disappear’ from his public office and continue to draw a salary and maintain control over his public trust. This soap opera must end.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Conservative blogger and Internet Powerhouse Andy Martin says he will ask Illinois state officials to remove Jesse Jackson's name from the November ballot



Andy says the missing congressman must appear and speak coherently by July 16th



Andy calls the Jackson Family “an embarrassment to the City of Chicago at a time when the city is under unprecedented stress”



Andy made a similar threat against Senator Mark Kirk and forced Kirk to make a limited video appearance; Andy is still studying the Kirk matter



Andy says he gets “moody” just thinking about Jesse Junior’s many scams

(NEW YORK) (July 12, 2012) Conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin will hold a New York news conference today to announce that if U. S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. does not appear in public and speak coherently by Monday, July 16th Andy will ask the Illinois State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and declare the congressional seat vacant.



“The Jackson Family’s soap opera has gone on long enough, with ‘Jetstream’ Jesse the father refusing to answer questions about his son and the cryptic remarks by Jackson Junior’s wife. Enough is enough. The Jackson Family is an embarrassment and disgrace to the City of Chicago at a time when the city faces urgent problems and a nationwide and international public relations disaster,” says Internet Powerhouse Andy.



“It is time for Jesse Jr. to either resign or appear in public and speak coherently. If Jackson is unable to function by July 16th I will ask the State Board of Elections to remove Jackson’s name from the ballot and to declare his congressional seat vacant,” Andy says. “Congressional politicians have been much too generous with themselves taking off from their official duties for extended periods of time. Reasonable limits should apply.



“The claim that Jackson is invoking federal medical privacy statutes is a joke. When you run for public office you lose a lot of privacy. When you hold public office you lose any privacy concerning your ability to perform the functions of your public trust. (Tribune link below) For Jackson’s mouthpieces to just say Jackson has a ‘mood disorder’ is not enough to cover up the latest Jackson Family scam.



“Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell calls Jesse Jackson Junior ‘royalty.’ (link below) I suggest the Jackson Family is more of an embarrassment than a royal blood line. Jesse Senior has been an embarrassment since the 1960’s. Jesse Junior is incapable of holding down a congressional office without engaging in adultery and chicanery. What kind of ‘royalty’ is this? The Jacksons have made a career of exploiting political public intimidation and private profiteering.

New Hampshire conservative blogger and corruption fighter Andy Martin sues to undo “corrupt” sale of The Balsams

Conservative blogger and New Hampshire corruption fighter Andy Martin announced today (Friday) he has filed suit to undo sale of New Hampshire’s landmark hotel The Balsams, which was turned over to real estate speculators as part of a plan to destroy the property. “‘The Balsams’ is rapidly becoming the ‘
Peyton Place
’ of New Hampshire political corruption and insider dealing,” Andy says. “The Balsams was illegally handed over to two real estate hucksters that had no intention of reopening The Balsams and had every intention of destroying the property. The Balsams was a going concern that was employing hundreds of local North Country people in a rough economy. Today the business is destroyed, the property is endangered and the historic contents were destroyed in an ‘auction.’ I have taken action to try to undo this travesty of ‘trust supervision’ by Governor Lynch and Attorney General Delaney.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



New Hampshire corruption fighter and conservative blogger Andy Martin files suit to undo sale of New Hampshire’s historic hotel The Balsams



Andy says the New Hampshire Attorney General unlawfully and fraudulently approved a sale of “The Balsams” to real estate speculators and hucksters that are systematically destroying the hotel and never had any plans to reopen the facility



Andy calls the Neil Tillotson Trust/Tillotson Corporation a “Peyton Place” of New Hampshire corruption



Andy has become New Hampshire’s only public interest lawyer by default



(CONCORD, NH) (July 6, 2012) New Hampshire corruption fighter and conservative blogger Andy Martin, who by default has become New Hampshire’s only public interest lawyer, announced today (Thursday) that he has filed suit to undo the sale of New Hampshire’s historic grand hotel The Balsams. Andy charges the “sale” of the Balsams was tainted by corruption and insider dealing.



The suit was filed in Merrimack County Superior Court, has been served on the defendants and process has been returned to the Clerk’s office. Among other relief the suit seeks to undo the sale of the overall property to Daniel Hebert and Dan Dagesse, Jr.



“The more I looked into the sale of The Balsams the more it smelled,” Andy says. "The media were asleep and no one in New Hampshire is organized to fight local corruption. Hebert and Dagesse never had any intention of reopening The Balsams. A priceless North Country resource is being raped and destroyed by these real estate hucksters/speculators.



“The recent ‘auction’ of The Balsams contents was an effort to ensure the hotel never reopens as a family-oriented facility.



“Governor Lynch and Attorney General Delaney eliminated 300 North Country jobs. They are two of the biggest job-destroyers in recent New Hampshire history.



A copy of the lawsuit is attached to emailed copies of this news release.



“I have consistently accused the New Hampshire Attorney General of fraud and incompetence in his regulation of the Tillotson Trust and eventually I am going to ask the Court to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate this mess.



“We know as a fact that Attorney General Delaney conducted his ‘review’ proceedings in secret, received no input from the public, and allowed a priceless North Country resource to be sold in the dark of night to a couple of hucksters and speculators. That is not the way public trust assets are supposed to be handled. The whole transaction smelled from start to finish.



“Are we to understand this is how public trusts are ‘regulated’ in New Hampshire? The rape of Neal Tillotson’s trust is a public disgrace.”



Andy will have more to say abut The Balsams and other political issues at a Concord news conference Monday July 9th.
