Indeed. I’ve now had several confirmations from a number of people that the Belknap County Republican Committee is now directly aligned with the results desired for the 2024 Primary/General elections by the Democrat founded, funded, and led Political Action Committee now known as “Citizens for Belknap”.
Sidenote: I wonder if those Republicans laying out a bunch of coin for the BCRC Mt. Washington cruise are aware of this?
Many of you regular readers know of the “Gunstock Incident” that wracked the political waters here in Belknap County. Let me try to quickly summarize it this way (as its history took place over a lot of posts and videos):
- Stories started circulating that some of the GAC Commissioners set up a new Master Plan that would have, as one part, build a “private-public partnership” hotel for the Gunstock Area Mountain Resort.
- Gunstock didn’t want to admit they were subject to Right To Know demands like any other NH governmental department or agency.
- Problem: it would have been on land that Gunstock didn’t own. It created a lot of controversy.
- A GAC Commissioner using monies belonging to taxpayers as his own personal legal fund in opposing the actions of the Delegation didn’t help.
- The Delegation started both asking tough questions and putting on Conservative Commissioners onto the GAC as liberal ones were forced off (overstayed their term of office, overstayed as they were no longer eligible to be on the GAC for moving out of the County, term of office expired, and just quit).
- Then the Borg decided to strike back – after all, those that wanted WHAT THEY WANTED had the money (Lots of it!) and hired a Democrat operative (Brian Beihl) to start a Saul Alinsky style PR campaign which, I must admit (and have in the past), worked to perfection with carefully crafted multiple pressure points from multiple directions to which the Conservatives first failed to see and then unable to react to.
Results:
- Conservatives lost their newly Conservative GAC majority by putting turncoat Doug Lambert onto the GAC (IMHO, a sleeper plant by the Borg and it spiraled downward from there)
- The RINOs (and some Conservatives that couldn’t see the hack being done to them) on the Delegation, seeing an opportunity, “virtually threw in” with that Democrat PAC during this time and put Democrat (and leaning) Commissioners.
- Poisoned the entire County against Republicans, in general, such that the County went from Conservative to RINOs and Democrats back on the Delegation.
New CfB aims:
- Newly emboldened by the success of their newly proven “political machine/organization, remove the last of the Conservatives from the Delegation either by intimidation, primary, or general election:
- Barbara Comtois
- Paul Terry
- Tom Ploszaj
- Lisa Smart
- Peter Varney
- Nikki McCarter
- Begin the exportation of that successful model, as already reported back in November, to other Counties (just like the “Colorado Project” has been exported to other States).
Now, NH GOP Chris Ager is aware of this situation. A couple of the former BCRC Executive Committee members went to see Chris Ager concerning this. They were summarily shuffled off to meet with Bill O’Brien (former Speaker of the NH House) and Elliot Gault (who has turned out to be NH Governor Chris Sununu’s “Fixer” in moving between Sununu’s office, his campaign staff, and being the Exec. Dir of the NH GOP – twice). They told O’Brien & Gault what was transpiring in the county and what might happen later.
They were, to be blunt (my words here) – you ousted the former BCRC leaders and now you’re upset it is being done in return. Sissies – that’s politics.
But now, WHAT are they going to do with an impending Colorado Project that has been launched right under their noses? Aren’t they aware that this is been going on for years?
Sidenote: Like Zandra Rice-Hawkins, funded by those same Colorado billionaires, who founded and have used Granite State Progress as an umbrella for multiple pop-up groups to execute Saul Alinsky’s Rule #9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself” in creating the illusion that there are many instead of just a few.
So Chris, the Democrats now have a proven design. It worked. The GAC Borg got what they wanted – they can proceed with their original plans (even if scaled down just a bit).
However, while it didn’t electorally work to perfection (YET!) in that only a couple of Democrats were elected to the Delegation but in conjunction with remaining RINOs did give the County a HUGE money gift in a higher budget – just like the Democrats wanted. And denied the NH GOP their Parental Rights bills (HB10 and SB272) for the second year in a row. I could go on but you have the picture in front of you. There’s now a model that worked. While the GAC may be off shussing on the slopes, the Democrats ARE going to expand this model and “finish them off” in due course in the 2024 election.
Or is it a disaster-in-waiting for the NH GOP? Funding, organization, and most important – the motivation. One County down – nine to go. Again, a model that works. And the NH GOP just did a faceplant when told of the [perhaps] of the avalanche that’s heading your way – and you ignored the warning.
It’s sorta like what we are seeing what’s happening here in the nation – traditional mores and norms being hollowed out from the inside out. And now you have a Trojan Horse staring you in the face. Or it is multiples from all directions? And trust me, they will enjoy it (Rule #6).
So what are you going to do, Chris? What will the NH GOP do to negate this new model that is using time-tested principles which work WONDERFULLY when the victims don’t even know what is going on?
Or will the attitude be, similar to O’Brien’s and Gault’s, merely dismissive? Until that “Oh crap” moment hits?
Remember, this type of sign was found in another Republican bastion: Merrimack.
Will that region, or others, remain that way under your watch? The Democrats are on the move because they smell chum and blood in the water.
