Cambridge Lawlessness Pervasive

Altering and destroying public records is a crime, typical in lawless Cambridge and the lawless state of Massachusetts. Records are regularly altered and destroyed by police, in the White House (see Leak by Max Holland) and at the Cambridge Cable TV office. George Bernard Shaw said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Greek philosopher Cleobulous said, "The chief source of evil is excessive good." Both aphorisms apply to this action. It is more like ten years that Craig Kelley has spoken out about late orders. I used to speak at Council meetings about that too. But in Cambridge laws are optional. Keeping the herd bewildered is what Noam Chomsky calls this. This unlawful censoring of an error is what major media does with Obama's gaffes. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Public officials in MA promise it won't happen again when caught violating the law. What a great excuse for all citizens charged with crime.

For the rebroadcast of the meeting, the city’s cable station lopped off the end of the meeting when the gaffe happened [. . .] The edited version of the meeting was inadvertently uploaded onto the city’s website where recordings of meetings are kept as public records.

“I just made a quickie call, kind of out of respect for the family,” said [Office of Cable Television Calvin] Lindsay, who said he only realized the implications after receiving an email from the Cambridge Chronicle. “My motive was clearly on trying to be sensitive to the family.” Lindsay said that diverged from the city’s practice of sending out unedited meeting footage and indicated it would probably not happen again.
