The truth in art…and nothing but the truth for art.

A problem with having these psycho Artists’ Row participants on my back, criminally harassing me while saying that I was harassing them, is that it wasn’t anyone’s problem to fix, or so they thought. The city created these monsters. The police said it was RCGs issue to solve. Mayor? Detective? Who?

Nancy Gilberg is one of Salem’s minion goons. She’s been embraced by the community and is an active, civically minded person who…I liked. She was kind, and I liked that she was Jewish. We actually did get along, and to this day I have no idea what happened; it haunts me. What’s going on in Salem?

It’s much more poetic to not name names and I did that with SalemWhole on Twitter. No @ or # either. Just blips, resurfacing traumas, things I felt were expressions of my complete loss of trust in everyone and everything happening in Salem. Those clownns did a number on me. Read, you’ll understand.

Salem passed what I thought was an extremely ill thought out law that made it mandatory to recycle. I was against it for many good reasons. They hired a local goon to be the enforcement dumbass, and because I was publicly against it he must have hated me. They should make flossing mandatory, idiot.

Dick Howe indicated to me that Dann and/or Sara wouldn’t speak with him when he visited their door, noting that it’s unusual for a “victim” to not want to talk. He had some similar observations with Debra Crosby but I believe he told me she just became difficult and then stopped cooperating. Weird?

It’s important for John the Propagandographer to be examined for his role in this problem. I consider the bystanders less important but he was an active threat to my privacy. I didn’t want to be photographed and used for his social media propaganda project. Social Palates gets skipped in interviews.

Best thing to do is talk about your feelings right?…but it’s a whole different experience to be arrested for doing just that. Using Twitter as SalemWhole was important but the tyrants called that harassment. It was all that I could do to protect myself and document the traumas they inflicted. Crazy.

Their pretend fear of me created a reason to be afraid of me, so I had to be careful not to be perceived as threatening while threatening with their own fear of exposure. It’s such a paradox to really need help, but be perceived as the problem, or someone that harasses people. Dann and Sara twisted.

They want to make it wrong for me to say that I was discriminated against. The sexism and veiled antisemitism were real and I felt them, and being blamed for things I made efforts to shine light on was like an ironic torment they intentionally and maliciously levied on me. Hating Mamadou was racist?

2014 I was arrested after using social media to contact the mayor and chief of police about crimes that were being committed against me in Salem. Nobody finds that odd, or strange or weird or FUCKING CORRUPT in a way? Nobody told me to stop, nobody would reply to my requests, nobody helped. Unusual?
January 30, 2026 at 6:04 PM
I’d love to hear them attempt to make the case that they did the right thing, but they didn’t and I think they know they didn’t, so now they want me, the victim, to be quiet about it. No fucking way @cityofsalemma.bsky.social! The Artists’ Row program was a disaster, I didn’t create. Please help me.

If I had been a limp, bloody, physically injured body in Salem, I’d have been picked up and brought to a hospital and helped. Salem’s idea for helping me was to arrest me? No, it wasn’t to help at all, but to add further insult to injury. Kick my injured, bruised body while I’m down. They lost this.

I didn’t become a jerk. I was civil and fought only to expose the dysfunction and abuses that I was a victim of in Salem, totally legitimate problems that anyone should see needed attention, were being ignored while I was being silenced with police force. @kimdriscollma.bsky.social knows what’s up.
January 30, 2026 at 3:54 PM
I was a victim of hate. I was being bullied and harassed. I was the one being victimized…and @jeffcdirectaction.bsky.social must have believed that I deserved it. So much for “No Place For Hate” as long as the person hated is me, right? If I became a jerk, it’s because the criminals made me a jerk.

@aclum.bsky.social Please look at the circumstances surrounding my 2014 arrest in Salem MA. There is good reason to believe that Paul Tucker and Kim Driscoll were behind an effort to stifle my free speech in order to suppress their culpability in the abuse I endured. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social?

You have to read my emails to Frank. I posted a few, but maybe not the one that asked to reconsider the paint colors chosen the previous year, for Artists’ Row. It looked ridiculous, yellow and red with green roofs; I began calling it a clownn school. Frank was overworked, underpaid. Disappointing.

Being critical of what was happening in Salem with the failures of the Artists’ Row program was essential and important. I had every right to share my information as a person who’d been victimized by those very failures. Unfortunately a few psychos who made Artists’ Row a sick shithole, silenced me.
January 30, 2026 at 6:58 AM
The Salem Police have attempted to establish a record of me, so their future attempts to silence me go more quickly. What’s my address Neil? How about my phone number? The people I emailed handed me down to Officer Numbnut who gave my number to “MH” Got a call from “MH” but that’s not who I emailed.
January 30, 2026 at 5:09 AM
See how Prosniewski and Cohen were in dereliction of duty in 2014. I was asking for help, asking for anyone to help put an end to the abuse and they denied me help from their No Place For Hate gang. Maybe the most infuriating and frustrating part of this all, was being arrested a few months later.

Mamadou and Michelle went on that GasWorks show…like a public cable clownn party. I had a problem with Mamadou but that didn’t mean I had to have a problem with Michelle and I didn’t…until she created a problem with me. It was clear she was in on the plan to harass me. She’s a fraud. Ear candling?!
January 29, 2026 at 6:08 AM
One of the scariest “gifts” that I suspect Michelle left by my studio door, were computer discs, CD-R/CD-RW, no labels. Very threatening really because I had no idea what may have been on them and wouldn’t think to put them into my computer. I had the police take them as evidence. They understood.

Violations of my 4th amendment rights were based on false accusations. Anything investigators may have learned about me searching my studio can’t be used, maybe unless it matched the accusation…? I’ve wondered if they think they know something that prevented them from wanting to protect me? Unfair.
January 29, 2026 at 5:39 AM
You can hear me telling Cheyanne, the guy from SSCW who was in the hallway when Sara and Debra pulled their stunt in Sept 2011, that it’s political. It was, and I knew at the time that the city had put me in danger and were failing to protect me from that and future abuse. I was being arrested…why?
January 29, 2026 at 1:41 AM
Mamadou and Debra had been on Artists’ Row for 7-8 years, the Lobster Shanty was enshrined as an alcoholics dive, paying rent to Salem and probably overlooking health codes. The public bathrooms were theirs to manage and they hardly could keep up with the daily heroin junkie shit spray on the wall.
January 29, 2026 at 1:23 AM
I was defending myself from Sara and Dann while my issue was with the city even allowing these two criminal psychos onto Artists’ Row. My efforts were to bring attention to this corrupt, underwhelming, mismanaged, poorly designed program, and the frauds in it retaliated against these efforts. Easy.
