Maine Bikers Support Me Via Vroom Vroom Say Hi To Addresses Below The Mobstah Lobstah Cartoon


If there are any legal issues with any of my postings please email me, laurieallen55@msn.com  and I will fix it. Please don't sue me, I'm just trying to save another life from being robbed. Plus, I ain't got no money.... Spent it all to buy this nightmare in Belfast. Now below poverty and unemployed. But finding some coin for lobstah and happy moments in Helfast I mean Belfast.


7/20/2016

Please Belfast Downtown Greg Tinder tell you husband, Seth Thayer to leave me alone. Ditto to your leader, City Council Heil Hurley and supporter Harold Richardson. See link http://boycottbelfast.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_29.html



CITY COUNCIL ERIC SANDERS PLAYS GOOD COP. THAT MAKES ME EVEN SICKER. HE SAID HELLO TO ME LAST NIGHT AS I WAS PROTESTING OUTSIDE BELFAST CITY HALL. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT. I TOLD HIM THAT HE IS NOT MY FRIEND AND TO STOP GREETING ME.

Belfast City Council Meeting 7/19/2016
http://belfastme.swagit.com/pl...
Click 10H. See City Council Mary Mortier ( FF 15:30) and Neal Harkness (ff 28:20) in full ego mode. In all these meetings, nary a word about McCrum paying $400,000. Yet they are so befuddled by the offer of $55,000 and are angry at McCrum. City Council members are public servants. Freely slandering any that do not comply with their agenda. Meanwhile they flood private properties to destroy for the next take in town for MaineHealth monopoly. Offer to us will be a happy meal. Courtesy of Hurley. Be Happy.

Illegally legal by attorneys writing the ordinances and laws. Public can boycott Belfast corruption. Put that on the agenda.

7/16/2016 Today's protest was at the Celtic Celebration in Belfast. Same old, mean, short, fat guy came after me to tell me to get out from 2 years ago. Bully. It's public property paid with my taxes. I ignored him. He kept yammering, I kept walking- sign held high. Stumpy couldn't keep up with me, sweating and panting, he yells that he's calling the police and Stumpy does.They can't stop me.  Many nice people wanted to know and I love talking to nice people. It was fun. Bet those corrupt ones were feeling sick watching me call them out. Here's my sign- same on both sides. For all to read with ease. Yes indeed.


7/15/2016 Where's Laurie protesting Belfast corruption today? https://youtu.be/2qIvEmtmF6E

This blog and previous Belfast Bullies blogs documents 6 years of Belfast City Hall/State of Maine resident corruption first hand. Exhausting and overwhelming. Their forte'.  Recently I started another blog to zoom in on current corruption and links centering on The TPP of Belfast, the still secret Comprehensive Plan voted in by Belfast City Council in 2014 and still secretly amending with real estate agents selling more undisclosed hell. Along with MaineHealth/Department of Defense collusion/monopoly and 3rd party contractors to our health records. treatment, rehabs, institutions, detention,prison...  Be Very Aware and Very Strong.

7/11/2016 VSTV Rockland vs.Belfast FOIA https://vimeo.com/174344043

Published on Jul 14, 2016

Here is VSTV also protecting Belfast corruption. Belfast Mobsth Lobstah Jay Davis has heavy media influence. BDN reporter Steve Betts knows too but Belfast isn't his beat. Abbie Curtis reports for BDN and refuses to challenge City Hall or even write articles to allow comments to tell the real story. Neighboring town, Rockland is attempting to restrict media ease to public information. Belfast City Manager Joe Slocum, City Planner Wayne Marshall, Code Enforcement Officer Tod Rosenber, DPW Bob Richards, City Council and officials are absolutely corrupt in with holding. Media protects Belfast corruption by not asking for public documents of conflict.


7/9/2016
Laurie Allen Posted on the Red Knights Maine Chapter IX too. In case they want to support Little Laurie Lee.  Vrooooom, vrooooom.
Ironic, passed one (sidecar) on the road this week. 1rst thought- how cool. 2nd thought- sad side car was empty. 3rd thought - back to cool with best buddy.

Super Bonus is Belfast City Council Heil Hurley is losing what's left of his mind with all the bikes blowing past his house @ 398 High Street, Belfast, Maine 04915! Every year he cries more. Boo Hoo. They open up at your house for a reason. 



                                        Vroom, Vroom the Belfast Mobstah Lobstah's homes.

FIRST HAND (CLAW) LIST DOCUMENTED CORRUPTION CONTACTS (with only a bit of supporting proof that I have AMASSED against all refusals and intimidation tactics over the 6 years. Surely they thought I'd break within the first 6 months. I was so beat up when we crawled here in 2010. Surely I knew to hang on and still am) I've been documenting the corruption as it hit me since 2010. Tons and overwhelming. My BelfastBullies blogs morphed into BoycottBelfast when the Chamber of Commerce purposely awarded City Manager Joe Slocum citizen of the year. A member confirmed what I already knew. Done to slap me in the face. Hence Boycott Belfast slap back since 2012.  I link some of the pages (sidebar) for support but there is more the pages, more in the overwhelming blog and blogs, corruption in every nook and cranny of Belfast City Hall and the implicated network. Site plans to ordinances to business to the good ole boys. Rob the poor to pay, cut services and basic infrastructure- roads and drainage to code and State law, for the wants and properties of the ego's.

Propose lies to the public in public hearings and City Hall and Council vote through corruption. loophole language for only "City attorney interpretation" and take the 5th. City Planner locks up the documents and plans with DEP approval. Never ending and much more than I can document. All this is corruption directly involving me, my property and my children. First hand. Covering a massive network of Mobstah Lobstah's. Easy to catch. Just look and ask how and why? Prepare for rhetoric, denial and refusal. Then become the target. Duck and weave. Keep asking, proving, documenting and posting. Forget a lawsuit against the City- it'll end up on corrupt Judge Worth's docket or one of her good ole boys. Ditto with insurance claims- City Manager Joe Slocum tries to push you down that hell hole too. Once denied or Worth dismisses, so does your voice. Ticks them off that they couldn't get me there. No sir. I ain't no dummy.

Hate me? Nah, it's them. Chin Up, Go Girl. I do until death do I part. I found addresses on the 2015 Belfast Tax commitment book online. Many own several properties. Hence somewhere, some known streets, many unknown. But corruption concentration camping on Cedar Street, Park St., Court St., Union St., High St., Main St., Lord St., Wight St., Salmond St., Kaler Rd., Robbins Way, Lead Mountain Lane, Ashely Drive, Head of Tide Rd., Tozier St., Waldo Ave., Searsport Ave. by East Side Garage, all in Belfast.
Coombs Rd.- Morrill,  Patten Drive- Lincolnville, Coles Corner Road-Winterport,  and of course, State Street, Augusta

Boatloads more locally- private residents enabling through fear, committee's and businesses. Dirty local to state. Clean up begins at home. Too dangerous, I do it alone. Always have with history of family abuse since I was born (12/31/1960) to date. Not stopping now. No one to protect me. Confirmed after receiving 2 sexually threatening anonymous letters in 2015 with City Hall markings. Chief McFadden (prior detective for internet porn) would not return my calls to investigate. I brought the letters to Sheriff Trafton. He was concerned but cannot investigate. I'm on my own.  

They target the poverty stricken, the vulnerable, the abused, private properties, children, privacy, safety and lives. Cruise their homes with vroom, vroom.  Be heard. Thank you Bikers.

and now for the North Woods National Monument.






Of course, as opposed to needing a connector path by going imminent domain in Belfast. Climb back down, Mr. Hurley






My response went into holding. In case Hurley receives BDN protection again. I posted it on my Boycott Belfast blog.
Laurie Allen






Belfast proposes false development, ordinance, zoning, etc. to the public and votes through corruption. Locks up documents and manipulates FOIA and public. Hurley King of get it done before the public can stop us. Hurley even stated that in one of his "senior classes" with the seniors chuckling. Here are a few from 6 years of intense intimidation and threats as we try to live in safety and privacy to begin again. Mom and children. No mistakes.

9/4/14 CC Mike Hurley Threatens Seaview Terrace "Has had it" Take the illegal goat path pave job or don't get any paving.https://youtu.be/mLQDpu4hY5I?l...
At that 9/4/14 meeting I am still asking when will we get paved according to code, no response. I don't know my brother had died until the next day. I had sent an email to UU Minister Perkins (City Council Roger Lee is the UU treasurer) telling him. City Hall knew. On 9/8/2014 City Hall sent in the trucks to hurry up and get the illegal paving (ignoring paving/drainage ordinance and corrupting a map to force more water to my property) to my home when they thought I'd be in Alabama for my brother's funeral on 9/8/14. I was home watching the City assault. The City forgot to pull the public announcement on 9/12/2014 that Seaview Terrace would BEGIN approx. 9/17/2014. More proof on http://boycottbelfast.blogspot...

City Road Construction
Paving and reclaiming the following roads. Crocker Road, Wight Street and Seaview Terrace.
Paving on Seaside Drive and Back Belmont Road.
This will tentatively be starting on Wednesday September 17th, and lasting a couple of weeks.
Prepare for possible delays and detours during this time.
If you have questions or concerns, please call Public Works Director Bob Richards at 338-2375.

Yeah, I made sure all the slimes knew of the corruption in Belfast. King, Mitchell, Snowe, LePage, Mayhew, Aho, Thibodeau. DEP, EMA, EPA, FEMA, Realtor Commission,FBI, media, far right, right, center, left, far left. The list is endless.

Laurie, what do you expect from carpetbagger Hurley, originally from NJ? He fits right in with Gov. Christie.

      Painful to know so many out of state thugs, taking the Maine hand shake to shake down integrity. The thug out of state attorneys making it law in loophole language for the corrupt judicial gravy train. Implicating Mainers in mass- ministers, doctors, businesses, activists, even lobster men.
      In 1969 when I was 8, we took the coastal route home from the Worlds Fair in Canada. We stopped at the Colonial Gables in Belfast and to this day, unchanged, beauty beyond my Jersey eyes. Since then, I've lost 3 homes in Bayside to the same Jersey family greed and illness as Hurley and all those he has enlisted. Quite an army of corrupt illness. State of fear. Enable or else. I have been or else, placing my son's scholarships and social standing in their fire. Burned badly, they couldn't break him, still kind and true. High AP honors with low income abuse off the charts by Belfast White Collar bullies. Especially the Superintendent, Principal and Director of Guidance. Good ole boys connect.
      In 2010, it was Belfast or bust, I moved us before the contested relocation papers were even filed in NJ. Awarded and into hell. What they have done to my son because they couldn't break me over the past 6 years is life threatening.This Mom army will fight back to the end. Death or eminent domain. MaineHealth with Belfast City Hall is assaulting my borders. Hit me with your best your shot, fire away. They can't fight fair, I already won.
      Thugs without Borders. Epic disorders in power. Independent oversight committee's in every town are urgent. Until then, legal shake downs break Maine. Grass roots Moral Monday (I have a blog on that too) Step in and stop them.

    Conservative to the Core

    Eminent domain is bad no matter who employs it

    By Tom Seymour | Jul 01, 2016
    0
    Oh, that terrible Donald Trump. Those in opposition to the flamboyant, presumptive GOP presidential nominee often cite Trump’s taking by eminent domain of a private property in New York to accommodate traffic for one of his new buildings. Democrats and liberals have made it plain that they in no way approve of the use of eminent domain. I’ve got news for those folks. Republicans and conservatives don’t like eminent domain either. We’re just not as vocal in our denunciations.
    And may I suggest that some of those same people who verbally flay Trump over eminent domain appear not to mind the practice at all when it comes to their own local wants and needs. Specifically, I’m talking about the city of Belfast, invoking eminent domain to link two sections of a new walking trail.
    Unfortunately, the land the city wants and will take (steal) by force if necessary, sits in front of the Penobscot McCrum potato processing plant. According to Jay McCrum, the land in question is very near the company’s ammonia tanks, a clear danger to walkers. But the Belfast people want this land so badly that they appear willing to exchange safety for convenience.
    On the face of it, this seems pretty cut-and-dried. But as with most controversies, there’s more to this story. Let’s look at some historical events.
    Industry evil
    It began some time ago, when visitors complained that the effluent from the city’s two poultry processing plants (McCrum’s place was once Maplewood Poultry) was making the shiny hulls of their sailboats all sticky and yucky. Those of us who used the harbor and kept fishing boats there had no complaints. But a new personality was seeping into the Belfast consciousness, a personality that wanted to see the city made “clean” again.
    Well, they got their way. The poultry industry was vilified and demonized, not to mention taxed and fined, to the point where the owners were forced to shutter their doors. Never mind the hundreds of blue-collar workers who worked for the poultry industry. This included not only workers inside the plants, but also truckers, raisers, salesmen and a host of others. It was big business and it was good for the local economy.
    So with the poultry industry now kaput, the civic-minded people of Belfast turned their sights to the remaining industries. Belfast once had two shoe factories. Both had no choice but to go out of business, leaving more of those dirty, sweaty blue-collar workers out in the cold.
    One of the last to go was Stinson Canning, or, as older Belfast residents termed it, “The Sardine.” Yes, some tiny bits of fish were vented into the harbor, a terrible situation (no, not really…it didn’t hurt a thing). On the other hand, because of this, Belfast had some of the best saltwater fishing on the Maine coast. People from miles away came here to take advantage of the sporting opportunities. But the die was cast and Stinson is no more. And, again, the people who worked in the sardine industry suddenly found themselves looking for work elsewhere. Many moved away from Belfast to find employment. That didn’t seem to bother the city fathers at all.
    The above-mentioned industries were not forced out all at once, but by means of constant nit-picking. The end results were always the same. Industry was bad, in fact evil, and Belfast no longer wanted it. I’m talking specifically about agricultural and natural resource-based industry. Belfast welcomes new industries, as long as they are chic and don’t offend the sensibilities of the new gentry.
    So who, after looking at what has happened in the past, can doubt that the writing is on the wall regarding the city’s one remaining agriculture-based industry? Once the collective liberal mind sets its sights on any such industry, that industry is ultimately doomed. So mark my words. Eventually, Penobscot McCrum will follow the long line of demonized industries and shut its doors forever.
    The city will probably gain all of the Penobscot McCrum land, not just the narrow strip needed to complete its trail. Perhaps it can be made into a nice park, or some other badly (not) needed attraction.
    And what of the people who will lose their livelihoods with the passing of the potato factory? Well, I can safely say that Belfast will shed few tears over the demise of the factory and those stinky, Republican-voting blue-collar workers.
    Finally, I know, without a doubt, that my opinion will irritate some people. But it’s not just opinion. It’s fact. Try to make facts go away and they, the pernicious little rascals, just keep on trucking. Nasty things, facts are.
