THE UOJ ARCHIVES - ORIGINALLY POSTED MARCH 2006
CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE:
All my efforts were for naught. Margulies and Kolko were digging
in...and nothing they were being told - meant anything! I had used every
ounce of energy attempting to persuade his go-betweens, and there were
many, that none of his tactics were going to work. He was either going
to bais din immediately, or I was going to take him down! The "Torah"
world was warned through an intermediary, nay, many intermediaries.
Torah Umesorah knew! The Agudath Israel knew! The entire Torah Temimah
hanhala and the board of directors knew. Sruli Belsky knew! It was no
secret, I made certain that they had every opportunity to do right for
the many victims, the Torah prescribed dictates of treasuring human
life, and for Klal Yisroel! It was time to stand up and admit to a
fatally flawed policy by the "gedolim" - that destroyed generations. The
whole world knew...but nobody cared!
It was time to beg forgiveness...way past the time - where elaborate
yeshiva buildings took precedence to preserving the treasured neshamot
entrusted to their care!
But....as I learned over my life...there's nobody home!
They don't give a darn! They laugh at the thought that the children
really matter. Of course not, they're just inventory in their
warehouses. A number in a bakery line...a meal ticket to riches and real
estate holdings.
I agonized...I knew exactly where this was going to wind up. I was
already in contact with the media. Jeff Herman was lined up! One last
shot...issue the hazmana from a successful attorney that specializes in
clergy sex-abuse cases. All - Kleinman, Applegrad and Weinberger, yes
George, had to do - was google Jeff Herman. See what he's done and
undone!
Please be afraid - please!
They did not care...at that point neither did I. I retained
TWO
respected toenim to represent the victims in bais din on March 16...one
week before the hazmana was sent and faxed, just in case I was wrong! I
hoped I was wrong! The victims deserved the best representation money
could buy. They deserved no less, finally! The Heavens finally broke
down and cried with the victims! But
not the gedolim...they
were at dinners! They were busy....who cared what some crazy was doing
on the Internet. We'll hold asifas and ban him!
I shot the first bullet....they went scrambling to various people but
not to bais din. Belsky said NO! I sent more messages....nothing! I
fired off the second hazmana from an attorney that specializes in clergy
sex-abuse cases...not a dumb putz rabbi that they could get Belsky or
Epstein to threaten! A real lawyer with experience in this area!
Collected millions for victims!
Please be afraid - please!
I fired the third hazmana....nothing, they gave Jeff Herman the finger.
I was ready...Jeff was ready...Robert Kolker (New York Magazine) was
ready....Margulies had one more chance. Fire Kolko pending a full
competent investigation and real din Torah! No dice...he was putting
Kolko on
temporary leave,.... maybe!
As they say, the rest is in the history books!
So the Agudath Israel and their pathetic group of bozos...all of them
knew; but did they? Did they know that they would be dragged through the
filth they created - forever and forever? Did they really know the
damage that would last forever...and did they care? Of course not, the
bloggers are nasty people! Horrors! Lashon hara! Mesirah! Let's change
the subject - ban the Internet! We'll get "Tzvi Frankel" to bash the
bloggers...all of them!
I will
never let you change the subject -
NEVER! Do you hear me now? Do you?
To all of you "gedolim" I say...I'm far from done with you criminals. I'm just getting warmed up!
