Hate: Sussex Dem leader calls Italians “guineas” and threatens violence

By Sussex Watchdog

Known to some as "Jabba the Hutt" – or simply, “Jabba” – Michael Schnackenberg is the wingman of Democrat politicians like Kristy Lavin, Zoe Heath, and Katie Rotondi. Acting as the Sussex Democrats’ “Minister of Propaganda”, he is a major player in the campaign of the BLM organizer and anti-2nd Amendment advocate who are the Democrat candidates for County Commissioner. Now a concerned citizen has filed a complaint, raising some serious questions concerning both Schnackenberg’s emotional state and his capacity for violence.

In a complaint filed with the county, the Sussex resident details Schnackenberg’s “threats to overthrow the government by violence, racial and ethnic slurs, anti-Semitism, anti-LGBTQ slurs, and threats of violence against women.” Among the choice comments by Schnackenberg cited in the complaint are:

“There are no limits to the lies this Guinea douchebag will tell. Just like his lover, Donald Douchebag.” (December 24, 2019)

“It is now time. THIS CRIMINAL EXCUSE FOR A LEADER MUST BE IMPEACHED AND REMOVED BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT IF NECESSARY. NOW!!!” (May 8, 2019)

During the BLM protests, Schnackenberg wrote: “If Donald Scumbag tries to utilize the military against citizens, I hope the military leaders have the balls to refuse to obey, and if necessary, stage a coup d'etat to remove this asshole from the White House.” (June 2, 2020)

“It’s time to remove him (Trump) from office… by any means necessary.” (March 16, 2020)

“Burn this cancerous slob out of our society. By any means necessary.” (June 1, 2020)

“Ice is a domestic terrorist organization, and Donald Douchebag is the Osama bin Laden of ICE. Hopefully, local officials will take the lead of NYC and other cities and NOT COOPERATE with them. And if Donny meats (sic) the same fate as Osama, well, que sera, sera.” (July 11, 2019)

“Why is it that the Jewish population, whether it be Brooklyn, Lakewood, or anywhere else, believe the laws about crowds and social distancing don’t apply to them?” (April 29, 2020)

Regarding former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani: “Too bad this guinea douchebag wasn’t still in the towers when they fell.” (December 23, 2019)

Regarding the (African-American) Kentucky Attorney General: “Uncle Tom tanked the case.” (September 29, 2020)

Regarding the wheelchair-bound Governor of Texas: “Someone should WD-40 his wheelchair brake.” (April 27, 2020)

“Truth. McConnell is a dirtbag. He must be removed by any means necessary.” (July 9, 2019)

"This bitch's phone number is (xxx)xxx-xxxx. (Schnackenberg actually published it in full) Let her know what a piece of shit she is.” (August 5, 2019)

“The latest bimbo skank ho Donald Douchebag sycophant.” (August 10, 2019)

“She’s a skank ho racist also.” (July 25, 2019)

“What a stupid bitch.” (August 5, 2019)

Is this the Democrats’ campaign communications guru? Is it any wonder how the Sussex Democrats have taken the meetings of the elected representatives of the people, the Board of County Commissioners, and turned them into Orwellian sessions that rival the Two Minutes Hate?

“OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT IF NECESSARY”?
 
“Stage a coup d’etat”?
 
“Ice is a domestic terrorist organization”?
 
Are these the official policy positions of the Sussex County Democrat Committee?
 
“Bitch… Let her know what a piece of shit she is… bimbo skank ho… skank ho racist… stupid bitch.”
 
Is this the Sussex County Democrat Committee's official policy position on women?
 
We would like to know directly from those Democrats who will be trying their holier-than-thou, butter wouldn’t melt routines at tonight’s Commissioners’ meeting.  A pack of hypocrites and the biggest haters in town.  If they want to see what hate looks like, they should take a look in the mirror.
 

“The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in.”

George Orwell

Does the NJ Herald want you to believe Sussex County is bad?

By Rubashov

Here’s a friendly tip for Democrat politicians like Kristy Lavin, Zoe Heath, and Katie Rotondi. If you are looking to condemn “hate”. Look in the mirror… and then simply condemn it.

What started out as an attempt by a failed candidate to legislate from the bleachers, has turned into an all-out jihad against Sussex County and what its detractors believe it stands for. Along the way, the people behind this jihad have used it as an attempt to distract media attention away from such community issues as…

(1) The economic insecurity that is the result of government reaction to the pandemic – including unemployment and underemployment, foreclosure and homelessness, and food insecurity.

(2) The increased property taxes that will result from Governor Murphy’s cuts to education funding for Sussex County’s children.

(3) The more than 8,000 people who died because of the Murphy administration’s decision to send COVID infected patients into the state’s nursing and veterans’ homes. Sussex County was one of the hardest hit communities.

The January 6th Capitol Riot is still under investigation. Nobody has been brought to trial yet. And media coverage – no matter how extensive – is not a judicial proceeding. You can have lynching by media – or you can have justice. You cannot have both.

So far, prosecutors have charged over 300 people with various federal crimes. The operative word here is “charged”. Statistically, about 10% of those charged will have the cases against them dismissed. Over 80% will have their charges reduced. Of those who opt for a bench trial – statistically, the best option – nearly 40% will be acquitted.

In America – for the moment, anyway – we still believe in the truth that anyone accused of a crime is INNOCENT until proven guilty in a COURT OF LAW. We not only believe this in America, this truth is one of the basics of INTERNATIONAL LAW.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.”

It is important to note that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and that it enshrines the rights and freedoms of all human beings. It was signed in 1948 by those who had been in a life and death struggle against REAL, actual Nazis. It wasn’t a word they threw around in the casual way that it is today. They knew the enemy and he wasn’t Dr. Seuss.

Kristy Lavin, a Democrat candidate for Sussex County Freeholder in 2019, has been firmly rejected by the voters. She received less than 6 percent of the General Election vote.

From all appearances, Lavin is using the Capitol Riot in an attempt to “undo” the democratic election she lost. In the aftermath of the riot, Lavin proposed an “anti-Hate” resolution in which she linked “white supremacists”, “white nationalists”, and “neo-Nazis” to the Capitol Riot. But Lavin and her supporters didn’t stop there. They made the claim that their neighbors in Sussex County – large numbers of them – were conspiratorially involved in the riot.

Lavin did so despite statements by federal prosecutors that “the number of people arrested is large enough to defy generalization”. And while there have been arrests in 42 states and allegations by prosecutors and speculation in the media, none of this has been tested in a COURT of LAW. Ann Pompelio is a divorce lawyer and member of the New Jersey Bar. She understands that an attorney should not make public speculations on the guilt of someone in advance of trial. It is unethical.

Kristy Lavin has used the bi-monthly public meetings of the Sussex County Commissioners to expand her “anti-Hate” resolution into a broader condemnation of America, of Sussex County as a typically “American” place, of the people who live in Sussex County as typical “Americans”, and of their typical “American” children. And by “Americans” she means racists, white supremacists, white nationalists, and neo-Nazis.

Katie Rotondi is the one-time Chairwoman of the Sussex County Democrat Committee. Rotondi is notorious for making wild accusations against others, including sexual misconduct allegations against other Democrats. The objects of her accusations have not been charged with a crime, so we will not mention names here. Rotondi runs a political group with fellow Democrat activist Zoe Heath. Lavin, Rotondi, and Heath have used the Commissioners’ meetings to pursue highly vitriolic, personal agendas against county residents and people they dislike.

Their campaign is a highly organized attempt to hijack the people’s business and turn it into a forum to slander Sussex County, its people, and their children. There are now hours of taped public comments by the Democrats’ posse and the picture they try to paint of Sussex County and its residents is chilling. Their comments on children are particularly disturbing.

The New Jersey Herald has strongly favored the Democrats with their coverage, while studiously ignoring such local issues as:

• Fire code violations at the County building that endanger the lives of 500 CWA union workers;

• the PBA’s negotiations for a fair deal with the County;

• COVID safety violations that endanger CWA workers.

 
Why?  Is this a reaction to recent efforts by employees of The (Bergen) Record, Daily Record and New Jersey Herald seeking recognition for their union after almost 90% of eligible employees (a total of 66) signed on with the NewsGuild union of New York?

The New Jersey Herald is owned by a Virginia-based corporation that itself has been accused in federal court of having racist hiring practices. Will the media corporation’s efforts to go along with the Democrats’ BLM-themed assault on Sussex County residents and their children be entered into evidence at some future legal proceeding as a counter to evidence presented against them?

Or is it something personal?

Bruce Scruton is a Pennsylvania-based reporter for the New Jersey Herald. He has a problem with reporting facts. Like quotes. He consistently gets quotes wrong. These are quotes that it should be easy to get right because they are recorded on paper, audio, and video. They are facts. But still Scruton gets them wrong. We could do a whole column just on this.

Scruton also appears to have a problem with women. We sense a certain hostility towards women who possess a certain authority. We don’t know about his personal relationships with women, but from his writing, he appears to us trapped in those 1960s-era certainties of his youth. We will say no more about it and invite Bruce to use our pages here to dispute this or to simply tell us that we are full of crap.

In any case, the New Jersey Herald has devolved into the mouthpiece of a group of people who would like us to believe that America is racist. And that Sussex County is an especially racist place – even violently so. They want to do so despite the facts as compiled by successive administrations of both Democrats (Clinton, Obama, Biden) and Republicans (Bush, Bush, Trump) clearly showing that Sussex County is one of the safest, least violent communities in America – with a low rate of bias crimes of any kind. Those are the facts.

The Sussex County Board of Commissioners has attempted to address the concerns raised by this crowd and, just as they were attacked by the Democrats when the Board passed LGBTQ Pride and Black History Month proclamations, the Democrats are not going to be satisfied. What, you say? Yes, after passing the first LGBTQ Pride proclamation last June, the Board was attacked by the Democrats for not mandating the flying of rainbow flags over every county building. Along the same lines, the Board was attacked last month after passing the first Black History Month proclamation for not involving enough “Black” people in writing it. Hey, if it is always going to be something, why bother?

After taking testimony from residents (and readers of the New Jersey Herald) who suggested a more “positive” approach than that contained in Kristy Lavin’s ever-broadening “anti-Hate” resolution, the Commissioners have come up with a love-thy-neighbor, “Pro-Respect” resolution. Predictably, the “Hate” lobby has gone nuts and lost it, especially Zoe Heath…

Will historians one day look back at the January 6th Capitol Riot as America’s Reichstag Fire? Will American Democrats ban political opinions and then organizations, the way the REAL Nazis did? Will American Democrats formally condemn the children of “white” people as being tainted by an original sin, in the same way as was done to Jewish “white” people?

What will the Democrats call their Law for the Protection of People and State? An expanded PATRIOT Act? Pay close attention to what the REAL Nazis alleged in the aftermath of their Capitol Riot:

“The burning of the Reichstag was intended to be the signal for a bloody uprising and civil war. Large-scale pillaging in Berlin was planned for as early as four o'clock in the morning on Tuesday. It has been determined that starting today throughout Germany acts of terrorism were to begin against prominent individuals, against private property, against the lives and safety of the peaceful population, and general civil war was to be unleashed…”

And remember how they put it to use:

“Articles 114, 115, 117, 118, 123, 124 and 153 of the Constitution of the German Reich are suspended until further notice. It is therefore permissible to restrict the rights of personal freedom [habeas corpus], freedom of (opinion) expression, including the freedom of the press, the freedom to organize and assemble, the privacy of postal, telegraphic and telephonic communications. Warrants for House searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property, are also permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”

"Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense."

Article 11
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Sussex Democrats use Commissioners’ meeting to bash “white” people

The top brass of the Sussex County Democrats were drafted in to divert attention from the tragic COVID deaths that occurred under Governor Murphy’s watch in Sussex nursing homes. The Democrat State Committeewoman, former county Chairwoman, and county candidates like Kristy Lavin all did their best to take the focus off Murphy’s dead and place it on… wait for it… white racism!

Yes, politics at its worst. Politics tarted up to look like activism. Except the face paint wasn’t right, the garb soiled, inside and out.

The message of the Democrats and their followers was clear at last evening’s meeting of Sussex County’s Board of Commissioners: If you are white, you are the problem. They pushed hard to change the subject. Even brought in a speech by an impassioned member of Black Lives Matter.

Again and again, using highly charged and emotional arguments, the Democrats explained why whiteness was the number one problem in America – and especially in Sussex County. It was described as a bigger problem than COVID.

White children appeared to be a special problem for the Democrats. It seems the Democrats believe white kids to be rather blood-thirsty, relentlessly stalking children “of color”. What these children need, it was suggested, was a form of detention and re-education. The Democrats already have a camp in Andover – mothballed, of course – but one that could be reopened for their purposes in short order.

This assault on children is of particular concern because of the effect it could have on their emotional and mental wellbeing. Telling innocent children that they are the carriers of “systemic racism” and guilty of all manner of horrible things based merely on the color of their skin is quite a wicked thing to do. We wonder how this jives with Democrat Lavin’s day job as a state licensed social worker? Sounds like child abuse to us. She should do a better job of setting boundaries for her party’s acolytes.

But it doesn’t stop with children. The Democrats hate the police as well. One Democrat activist flat out told Commissioners that “Blue Lives don’t Matter.” That’s right. The Sussex Democrats believe that if you are a police officer, or the family member of a police officer, your life doesn’t matter. And the woman who said that was a real sweetheart.

We intend to make a transcription of the meeting with all its high notes and turn it into a kind of spoken word poem about the madness of a kind of certainty that comes from feeling so good about yourself, so righteous, that you think you get to destroy other people who don’t fit into your ideological framework… like Pol Pot did in Cambodia. Apparently, the madness is all around us, as this video makes clear…

Demanding polite behavior is something necessary for a democratic society. But demanding that people think a certain way – and that you have the right of access into their brains to train them how to think – that is the very embodiment of a totalitarian dystopia. If you love liberal democracy – you must resist these people.

The Sussex County Commissioners placed a draft resolution up for discussion that took clear aim at Governor Phil Murphy’s nearly year long rule by edict. While giving praise to Murphy, the resolution was promptly attacked by someone who looked like Democrat State Committeewoman Michelle Van Allen. Although it could have been Michael Schnackenberg made up to look like Van Allen. She does get her identities confused. The resolution reads:

Whereas, Governor Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 222 on February 17, 2021; and

Whereas, Executive Order No. 222 extends the Public Health Emergency that was declared on March 9, 2020 through Executive Order No. 103, which was previously extended in 2020 on April 7, May 6, June 4, July 2, August 1, August 27, September 25, October 24, November 22, and December 21, and again in 2021 on January 19; and

Whereas, under the Emergency Health Powers Act, a declared public health emergency expires after 30 days unless renewed; and

Whereas, Executive Order No. 222 extends all Executive Orders issued under the Governor's authority under the Emergency Health Powers Act. It also extends all actions taken by any Executive Branch departments and agencies in response to the Public Health Emergency presented by the COVID-19 outbreak; and

Whereas, the Executive is designed to be just one of three co-equal branches of government in the State of New Jersey; and

Whereas, this continued rule by Executive Order has undermined the representative Legislature and denigrated the democratic process; and

Whereas, the results of this rule by Executive Order are clear have been injurious to the wellbeing of our State and its people; including:

- Over 7,000 deaths in nursing and veterans' homes attributable to Executive Order 103;

- The economic fallout from the closure of main street businesses;

- The loss of jobs and income without the creation of a temporary safety net to address the basic needs of the people, like food, housing, and health care;

- The effects of these Executive Orders on our God-given freedoms contained within the Bill of Rights.

Be It Resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Sussex County, New Jersey:

1. This Board asks that the Governor sign no further extension of the Emergency Health Powers Act and immediately takes steps to return the State to constitutional government and democratic ideals.

2. Copies of this resolution, shall be transmitted by the Clerk of the Board to the Governor, the Lt. Governor, the Attorney General, and to the Leadership of both Chambers of the New Jersey Legislature.

The madness that comes with the certainty that you are both right and good. The banishment of scruples, so that whatever you do to another human being – however you injure them – is covered by that certainty. This is what we heard in the earnest, choked voices of last evening.

We have been warned about this before, in another context, by that good liberal, Mrs. Lillian Smith. A Southern writer, she was a pioneer in the battle to end segregation. We recommend her book, The Winner Names the Age. In it, you will find this passage she wrote when she accepted the Charles S. Johnson Award for her work:

“It is his millions of relationships that will give man his humanity… It is not our ideological rights that are important but the quality of our relationships with each other, with all men, with knowledge and art and God that count.

The civil rights movement has done a magnificent job but it is now faced with the ancient choice between good and evil, between love for all men and lust for a group’s power.”

“Every group on earth that has put ideology before human relations has failed; always disaster and bitterness and bloodshed have come. This movement, too, may fail. If it does, it will be because it aroused in men more hate than love, more concern for their own group than for all people, more lust for power than compassion for human need.”

“We must avoid the trap of totalism which lures a man into thinking there is only one way, one answer, one option, and that others must be forced into this One Way, and forced into it Now.”
