UPDATED and BUMPED: Now Also Part of a Political Stunt. “So This Is What Tom Day, Rebecca Lapense, and Robin Rowe Think of a Large Gunstock Christian Customer: Soulfest”

UPDATED and BUMPED: bumped from 7/23/22. The email thread involving Rebecca LaPense, Robin Rowe, and Tom Day showing their Anti-Christian outlook is at the bottom of this post.

This proves that Doug Lambert, Jade Wood, Gary Kiedaisch, and others have been lying about Soulfest not happening over the mass resignations of Sr. Management – Tom Day, GM, been trying to get rid of Soulfest for almost a year!  It’s clear this has been a nothing but a political bargaining chip and putup. All that malarky from Tom Day and Cathy White that they didn’t want Soulfest AT ALL anymore.  It was a loser financially from what scuttlebutt has them saying before. But a contract is a contract – until these seemingly Anti-Christianists don’t like having believers, people of faith, around. Until it can be useful for their political means of getting rid of the people asking hard questions about subjects they wanted to be left in the dark.

OH WAIT!  They wanted it BOTH ways!  Listen to all the screaming in the media AND in the GAC meetings – they wanted them gone but had no problem in using them as both a political cudgeal and as political bait in their PR campaign.  OH, YOU CAN’T HAVE SOULFEST WITHOUT US AT THE HELM.  SAVE us, Obi Wan  Tom Day – make those new GAC Storm Troopers asking us hard questions that would reveal answers that will embarrass us go away!

So while doing this, what as Tom Day doing back in October and November of last year?  Trying to get rid of SoulFest – well before their man-made disaster. From the unredacted billing records run up with Devine-Millimet law firm by Tom Day and Gary Kiedaisch:

Soulfest break contract 2021-10-12

SoulFest break contract 2021-11-03

Imagine that – you’d think that Tom Day, Gary Kiedaisch, and all of the rest of them have no honor or honesty in a single one of their bones.  They KNEW they were burning the Soulfest candle from both ends – burning Soulfest itself and still using Soulfest to burn the Delegation/GAC members. 

OK, Doug Lambert, soon to be promoted from Secretary to Chair of the GAC (and of DGFIndustrial), whatcha gonna do about this political conundrum? Are you going to correctly call it out for what it is and admit malfeasance? Or are you going to cover it up, just like the good ole boy network in Gilford we went after (and Moultonborough and other towns) in shining Big Flashlights on their misdealing?

Sadly, I’m having to say that he has changed – he has become what he once hated.  But having a sense of grace and forgiveness that you haven’t shown towards either Peter Ness or Dr. Dave Strang, or those on the Delegation, I would be happy to give you a blessing – if you turn from the Dark Side and return to the Light.  Like you said you had to do those 15 years ago.

Besides, we have better cookies.

What if we Made Taiwan the 51st US State?

Each threat, or potential threat, must be evaluated uniquely. With that said, we cannot engage China in a protracted proxy war as we have with Russia through Ukraine. The Chinese Communists are masters of protracted and indirect conflict, and they are extremely patient. Historically the underlying Chinese Communist conflict strategy has been focused on protracted … Read more

Being pro-life, pro-second amendment, and a vaccine pro-informed consent the Democrats were uneasy with me being a Democrat. Now, Republicans hold the same question and unease; “What are you, and why are you with us?”. “You must be a FedPoser or a leftist agitator”! False!

Gunstock – Somebody Gave NH State Rep Harry Bean Really Bad Advice about a Delegation Emergency Meeting

UPDATE (and bumped from 8 am)!  And an important one: Summary – Emergencies (like what has been called for Gunstock below) in 91:A ONLY APPLY TO TOWNS AND CITIES; not the “County Convention” (aka, “the Delegation”.  While I have a call into the County Attorney, Andrew Livernois, I have not heard back as to which holds priority: RSA 24-9:d or RSA 91-A:2 II.  However, Dan Itse has this:

Let’s Talk Gunstock and Accountability

In light of what seems to be a disconnect about what is happening with Gunstock, let’s try for some fact-based clarity. 1. We can all agree that Gunstock is a county-owned asset. 2. We can all agree that Gunstock our beloved, county-owned asset is a benefit to all the communities of Belknap County. 3. One … Read more

Gunstock and Voting

After seeing Sununu’s letter on the Gunstock situation, it just confirmed to me and many others that Sununu has to go. I wonder if Sununu is connected to the Citizens of Belknap movement, where this group is trying hard to confuse people.
