Dirty Tricks Campaign

It looks like the dirty tricks to discredit the group opposing Vision 20/20 has begun, with the appearance of at least 2 flyers around the HHA.

First I got this (Flyer #1):

Subject: signs all over the projects
An HHA resident said that there are signs posted and distributed alluding to the 'savetheprojects' to call the police if you see anyone trespassing. So, c******'s intimidating the residents.  

Then later this (Flyer #2):

The first flyer appears designed to let HHA residents know that tenant activists opposing the demolition of the projects are being watched and, if they are seen in the 'wrong' place ("trespassing"), the cops will be called.

The second one is fascinating.  It was actually lifted verbatim from a GA blog post- without my permission.  The logo was lifted from the NAACP- without their authorization. The use of the NAACP logo atop the flyer appears to give the content below it's imprimatur. And the flyer's creation and distribution is supposed to appear to be from  'SaveTheProjects.'

Wherever NAACP local Chapter President Gene Drayton is, if he knows about this must be mighty pissed off.  Was that the idea?

Well, GA hears that Flyer #2 came from the Carmelo camp and (get this) they are spreading the rumor that I am 'SaveTheProjects'.  Get it?  They turn GA blog commentary into a flyer designed to look like an official release from the NAACP, then pimp the spin that I am STP.

In other words, they want you to believe there is NO tenant opposition to Vision 20/20.   It's a bunch of 'Zimmer Zealots'.

Yeah, right.

Should any media folk need 'evidence' that I am neither 'STP' nor involved in this flyer, before you go and write something stupid, let me know.

Here's the message in these 2 flyers: the campaign to stop tenants from organizing to oppose to demolition of the projects is ON.
