The title above was lifted from one of Fred’s blogs where he
was per usual, bad mouthing and back stabbing the other candidates. As he always
does… same old Fred.

Here is a link to a post I wrote about him on his second
attempt at office, nothing has changed: http://thebiscayneparker.blogspot.com/2016/11/for-best-we-can-be-whatever-cost.html
So, the book we have on Fred is that he sits under his bridge
(actually a metaphor, he’s behind his keyboard) spewing toxic waste at all different
points of view from those who have rejected him. If you want to know more about
him… just go to his blog and read for yourself his never ending barrage of baseless
accusations, hateful name calling and nasty commentary towards, well… just
about everybody outside of his insignificant and petty echo chamber. (BTW, this
represents the vast majority of residents here) Link: http://biscayneparkfla.blogspot.com/
And yes, for this post he will be getting a dose of his own
medicine. We’ll see how it goes down. Speaking for myself, Fred is utterly irrelevant.
However, it’s past time to call him out on his repellent behavior…
Observe for yourself his twisted pretzel logic screeds and his
obvious comfort in lying and misrepresentations in order to prop up his ambiguous
narratives. A deeper dive down his rabbit hole will uncover unsubstantiated conspiracy
theories and well, just more sludge.

This is Fred’s third attempt at public office, so we have a
track record to discuss. To review, on his first attempt he secured a last
place finish edging out Harvey Bilt by a mere 6 votes. His second attempt
resulted in a loss- and by a wide margin if I remember correctly. Yet, nowhere
to be found in that loss was any admission of his own faults, or the fact that
voters just did not find him relatable, trustworthy or likeable. Nope, when he
lost he blamed others (including myself) and played the “victim.”
As a commissioner here is what we witnessed from Fred being
Fred:
- ·
Disrespect
to our Flag and Country by refusing to join in the Pledge of Allegiance
(atheist)
- ·
His
smug condescending attitude- often broiled in disputes with others
- ·
He
was an unprepared commissioner that didn’t study the agenda and thought he
could just show up monthly and “wing-it “
- ·
He’s
proud to boast of him not taking a salary, and we got what we paid for….nothing
But, why would he need to spend his time studying the agenda backup when his sole mission for being
there was to blindly support his friend and ally Roxy Ross? The only time I
remember him disagreeing with her (or voting to the contrary) is when she wanted
to push our taxes to 9.8 and he wanted 10, or 10+ … Oof.
But wait there’s more…
Not only was he pushing for higher taxes, on top of that he
wanted to add an ongoing special tax assessment. And for what you ask? A $13 million dollar boondoggle storm water program
that was at its core dishonest, misguided and unethical. And he failed. (More
on this below if you’re interested)

Fred refused to see or admit the problems we had with a Village
manager during his time in office until her misconduct slapped him in the face
and he was forced into action. Albeit, too little and too late.
He constantly fought with Dan Keys (when Dan headed Park and
Parkways) demanding plans for the
medians while not even understanding the half-baked nature or limitations of
his idea, costs involved, or in the acknowledgment of the utility purpose
the medians serve that would reduce (or eliminate) their usefulness for
resident overflow guest parking. Or for your landscapers to use, etc. So, where are they supposed to park Fred?
In the middle of the street blocking
traffic?? For anyone who would be adversely affected by “his plan,” did Fred
ever drop by to discuss this with you and suggest solutions? Nope. All we got
was…
Here’s another point, did he consider for one minute our ability to properly maintain, weed and water them? Nope again, he just wants what he wants. Sound familiar??
Here is a real world example Fred didn’t consider: after the debris
dumping on the 114 St. median, multiple new oak trees were purchased and planted
to replace the trees lost to the hurricane and dumping. I then watched them over
time slowly die off until they were ultimately removed. So, it resulted in a waste
of both time and money. Why? Because
there is only so much our PW staff can handle and in my opinion, they are
already stretched thin. I’m sorry, but we need to deal in reality and within
our capabilities. So with this said, how on earth are we going to maintain
planting all the mediums? You see, Fred just doesn’t think things through.

Fred was unable to build a consensus on any of his ideas (few
as they were) during his time in office. This was due to his inability to compromise,
find middle ground or work with others that don’t share his agenda. All Fred is
interesting in representing is his small circle of friends.
Do you want a community
leader that can’t work well with others?
Now he’s back on his blog demeaning the other candidates and telling you Who to vote for.
“I cannot suggest you
vote for Judi Hamelburg, because she has not shown the kind of
even-temperedness and devotion to the Village (that part of it that is outside
herself) that is necessary for proper Commission functioning. We don’t see
much of Judi, and when we do, she either talks superfluously, or she quickly
works any discussion about anything around to her own personal experience, as
if everything was somehow always all about her. ”
“I cannot suggest you
vote for William Abreu, because I know nothing about him, and he has given no
one any reason to assume he is interested in or knowledgeable about the Village.
I’m told he’s Brazilian, very young (possibly under 30) and that the idea that
totally uninitiated people can govern an area and constituency seem to be
infectious. Political novices can do a great deal of damage, and they’ve done
it big time right here.”
“I strongly suggest you
not vote for Will Tudor, because he has enabled every bad thing that has
happened to the Village since the end of 2016, and he is plainly not interested.”
So, he’s acting as Judge and Jury here actually having the
gall to attempt to steer you how to vote… and moreover, how to think. And that’s really insulting. For you see, only Fred
can decide who is a “marginal resident”
or not and who is worthy of your consideration. Fred is telling you that, in
his opinion, you are either too stupid or ill-informed to think for yourself
and draw your own conclusions based on what you experience, see and hear. No,
“He” needs to do that for you. Yikes!
Fred seems to think the only people that can contribute to
our community are those who either attend meetings or are members of boards.
And as there is a sliver of common sense there, he himself is living proof that
those requirements do not automatically produce a good public servant. And after all, that’s what all of this is supposed to be about.
In his own words, “I am steady, goal-oriented, and I have
always been good for my motto: “For the Best We Can Be.” (Pfft…lol) I provide
stability, no nonsense, and I act as a kind of ballast. I prevent the ship from
getting out of control or tipping over. I
suggest you vote for me.”
He then goes on to suggest
you vote for MacDonald Kennedy (a BFF and ally, they’re thick as thieves)
and for Art Gonzales, (who has already gone on record stating he wants no part
of being in any group, with Fred or otherwise) suggesting “they” will form
their own self-serving majority and conquer the World! OK, I’m kidding on the
last part but let’s go back for a minute and break down his previous statement.
- ·
“I am steady.” I
will agree he is consistent, and that’s not meant as a compliment. He is
“steady” in his constant demeaning of all of those who don’t conform to his ideals
- ·
“Goal-oriented.” He
accomplished none of his goals set forth as a commissioner
- ·
“Good for my motto.” A meaningless narcissistic musing
- ·
“I provide stability” Another meaningless narcissistic musing
- ·
“No nonsense.” I
suppose he’s referring to his condescending nature here
- · “And I act as a kind of ballast.” OMG no, he doesn’t. This is pure hubris. What he does is
to create divide, ill will and unwanted drama
- ·
“I prevent the ship from getting out of
control,” blah, blah, blah…
I think you get the point by now. The truth is that when Fred
was in office, he rode the coattails of the sound and level headed leadership
provided by Mayor David Coviello and was mostly just along for the ride. But, let’s
wrap this thing up.
In preparing for this article I went over to his blog to
harvest some material. And to my shock, I witnessed just how much free real estate
I’m taking up in his head. And it’s unhinged
and unnatural. You see I’m mentioned multiple times on multiple posts and
clearly have taken on the role of the Boogie Man hiding under his bed. And, of
course, I’m the main reason for all of
his failures. (I suppose Fred blames me for the Corona virus as well… silly
me, I thought everyone knew it was China, but I digress) Who knew I was such a master mind and brainwasher of all people and
things? Of course and as mentioned previously, ALL of his accusations are
without any shred of proof and his claims vary wildly. Scary wildly if you ask
me. And as such, Fred is not creditable. Based on what I read, he’s more
deserving of a padded room than a commission seat. It’s now to the point I may
need to consider filing a virtual restraining order against him.
Do you want a delusional victim that can’t face his failures making decisions that affect you?
Not me… but then again, I’m not here to tell you how to vote,
or how to think. That’s up to you.
