Here Comes the Cover-Up

Jim Backstabbitch sent out an email to all the Unit reps (click for larger view):

 

You mean these charges? (summarized for clarity - we have multiple copies from multiple sources)

  1. Misappropriation of funds: On or about 08/13/2021, the president mishandled the expenditure of funds earmarked for a 2021 National FOP Presidential campaign and did not deposit funds into a campaign fund;
  2. Misappropriation of funds: Between 08/2024 and 03/2025, the president refused to reimburse the Lodge for funds used for the 2024 Christmas in July Party;
  3. Misappropriation of funds: On or about 2/12/2025, the president admitted to putting the 2023 Vision and Voice campaign funds into an interest-bearing CD;
  4. Abuse of Authority: On 08/06/2025, the president unilaterally purchased a painting for a total of $10,809.85, contrary to established Lodge procedures;
  5. Misappropriation of funds: Between 08/05/2025 and today, the president used cash owed to the Lodge for the 2025 National Dinner Cruise for other purposes, which includes cash tips and dinners.

There's also a list of receipts submitted into evidence backing the charges - we'll guess it's only a matter of time before someone forwards those to us, too.

We read over the By-Laws, and guess what doesn't appear? 

  • anything forbidding the membership from being informed of the charges
  • anything forbidding the posting of said charges on bulletin boards in non-public areas

We're also told that the Courts have often recognized that union leadership will claim "confidentiality" as a pretext to conceal wrong doing and malfeasance, which it seems might be happening at this very moment. 

In any case, if the Board is attempting to keep the membership in the dark, rest assured we'll do what we can to drag them back into the spotlight.

So Jimmy Jackoff thinks he can claim a lodge attorney instructed him to fire off this email? I’d hope a lodge attorney would be smart enough to realize that they’d be at the center of an unfair labor practice charge if they actually tried this.

You see, we did some checking with the State Lodge regarding this. Guess what? The criminals at 1412 W. Washington can NOT try to keep DUES PAYING MEMBERS from accessing/knowing the specifics of these charges. Post them on the Lodges site TODAY Backstabbich or I drop charges on YOU with the State Lodge.

You’ve arrived at a crossroads Jimmy, are you gonna continue carrying John’s water and go down with the ship? Or are you gonna quit being a punk coward and do the right thing? Something tells me I’ll be seeing you back in the area in the near future. That’s if you’re not indicted as a co-conspirator.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!! In my defense, I was nodding off in my chair, almost in REM stage, after my second lunch when I was abruptly awakened by King John. He said I had to “get in front of this shit before that fuckin’ SCC gets ahold of it”.

Whoopsies. Too late.

Guess I’m not as good as I once was… what, with beef gravy coursing through my veins and my gray matter soaked by breakfast mimosas. All on the FOP credit card, of course.

And here I thought the next thread - “This Tub of Shit” - was a continuation of this one where Jim Jackstavich was to be discussed in greater detail.

Anywho… this email serves to reinforce what all of us who’ve been paying attention already know: Jackstavich is a tub of shit.

A flock of pesky, buzzing assfly's hover about the butthills of nitpickeries.

Seeking their traditional safe havens, pompous nitpicking bubbles with a frosting of mickeymouse integrity, soothing their frustrated impotencies at thwarting the huge clusterfuckings by the politicians, their legions of parasites, minions, et all, this daylight shining so brightly, revealing a meager few pimples on the nitpickers' mounds of karenized, gretanized, bumpy warts of discontentions, screaming their slogans of, anyone can do better than this one, the much ado about practically not a fucking thing returns with a passion only the ego bloated will find of significance, if that.

Be the change is not a guide to penny sized jealousies.

The big rascals pilfer billions. Billions inching towards trillions.

And this is what the starving for some petty sized 'victory' hanker for?

Sheesh.

If the order to remove the charges from bulletin boards is coming from the lodge attorney, perhaps the lodge attorney should have written and ordered said removal citing exact lodge reasons for such.

So it's ok for John to put out his propaganda video the same day he's charged about it, but members can't post the charges in their District's and Units? It's all about controlling the narrative with Johnny.

Just cuz some allegations took place in 2021 doesn’t mean they couldn’t have been discovered (or enough evidence compiled to substantiate them) until later. You know, like maybe finally getting access to the financial books hidden by Cuntanzara to find expenditures and receipts that prove your suspicions. I’m guessing you’re not much of a copper or detective with the way you (don’t) think.

I’m beginning to think that those “crazy & bitter” broads were onto something all along. And I’d wager all this is just the tip of the iceberg with Cantanzara. It’s public information and common knowledge that he has HUGE financial problems. I wonder how many of his inner circle have already given statements and how many more are going to when the noose tightens. His F/1 field rep already has loose lips when talking to the range instructor the other day. “He can just put dat money back” doesn’t change the fact he took money he wasn’t supposed to. It just means he got caught and wants to pretend it never happened. That ain’t how it works, gurlfriend.

I have to agree with you. Mette will be transferred to some easy unit after his FOP bid. Just as Kevin Graham was. But if charges are legit then Cotanzara needs to do time for theft and fraud.

And is possible that the singer and Jimmy -who brings doggie bags to every banquet- are useless AND the two broads who ran and lost in the fop election are BOTH nuts?

I don't know about " fraternal organizations " but a real union has ALL their Financials posted by the feds. LM2 or something like that. I can go online and find all expenses and salaries and perks. The site is huge and has everything. Since Hoffa the dept of labor watches real unions closely. Our president Flys coach on union business and has a union pickup truck, average truck not some beast. And we are the largest local in our international. The idea that they would forbid the members from seeing the books is outrageous behavior and criminal too. Just got the results of our yearly independent audit published in the monthly paper. Your guy sounds like he has committed fraud and needs to answer for it. Gamblers are worse than drug addicts when it comes to stealing from family. Trumps in charge,get the feds on this guy's ass. And fuck fantasy and the retard on the 5th floor.

It’s not just a handful of sharp eyed, altruistic coppers who caught on to the financial irregularities during John’s time at the helm. The State and National Lodges both have been closely monitoring the going’s on and we have it on very good authority that those entities are the ones responsible for notifying the federal agencies currently involved. They did it the right way, not involving anyone at Lodge 7 (except whistleblower Mette) as they knew John and his cult would’ve attempted a cover up. I wonder - hypothetically, of course 😉 - how it’s gonna go over when “The Books” are seized are they don’t at all match the ones already tendered. Is there a second Judas occupying the Treasurer’s office at 1412 W. Washington?…

Jimmy Fatsavitch - what can you say ? Here’s a guy who was at one time concerned about the members but sold his soul to the powers at that time . Last summer Fatsavitch walked into Cork & Kerry and walked out on his tab . The bartender who would have had to pay his bill chased him down the block and stopped him and his response was “Hey I’m the Fop guy !”
Here’s a guy who voted twice to not contest the consent decree , no on hand sanitizer for the members and called JRat in when they had a unanimous grievance and killed it at the Biard meeting .
Time for Fred to go back to Wilma and have dinner with Barney ! Time to pay the tab Jimmy !

Yes. I qualified in the group right before the female field rep mentioned here. She was on her phone in the hallway afterwards. She was extremely loud and animated. She told whoever she was talking to something to the effect of “I got my own problem with that Covid loan, I don’t need anymore drama, I didn’t sign up for all this”. Hint: don’t use your outside voice talking on your phone while inside.

So the broads seem to be correct in every single charge they filed. In fact one of new charges is the same as their first charge. Now think of the thousands, maybe 100,000 or two that would have been saved if that charge was taken seriously by the board, and properly investigated by the state. The feds have been watching since 2023. How you feeling right now Big Papi? Hope you are feeling the squeeze. You cannot beat this. I hope we clean house of everyone but Gorman and Ortiz and the pension girl Lara? They seem to be the only ones who know their jobs.
