🚨🚨 Manipulation Alert 🚨🚨

I asked ChatGPT what it thought about the more recent post by Village President Frank DeSimone to get an objective and unbiased opinion.

Then I asked about the relevancy of bringing up the situation he mentioned about his daughter and bankruptcy.

Pictures in the post is the response from ChatGPT

Most important things first, Tonight at 7pm is the Fenton Board Meeting.

They are appointing Bentsen as the New Superintendent, anyone concerned about the situation with Berago should be concerned about this choice.

Please show up if you are able.

Next up, Here is the recording of the Village Board meeting from yesterday:

Some concerning matters are found in the public comments in the beginning, and the statements by Village President DeSimone towards the end.

Please view and form your own opinions.

I am likely the person he claims is attacking his family, and it is because I shared these screenshots of:

1) His wife looking at my LinkedIn

and

2) His daughter accidentally liking my satire page's posts, right before a nasty Joe Howard post about me.

Let's talk about attacks,

Unrelated information on my family was shared, photos taken off my dead relatives page, and various claims and threats were thrown my way.

Somehow all of that was okay, but pointing out the related actions of his aren't?

🚩🚩Today, two news articles were posted about contributions to Village President Frank DeSimone's campaign fund,

And

Two days ago He THREATENED a resident with legal action.

Some of the names in the 1st article are the same ones I brought attention to last year.

This is the same issue that had me and my family harassed, threatened, and doxxed
by fake accounts and DeSimone's supporters.

I'll be interested to follow this subject that seems to be very touchy. 🚩🚩

Here are the articles:

Village President DeSimone threatened legal action against a critic who he said accused him of wrongdoing.

Today Village President Frank DeSimone made a threatening post toward Chris McCullough, and I have a few things to say about this.

I have also called out Mr DeSimone on the donations he receives from companies right before they receive contracts from the Village, and that is when I started being slandered/harassed/doxxed on Facebook.

It is public information available on his campaign site and the Village website.

Chris McCullough HAS provided a ton of useful information and a lot of that evidence has been obtained by FOIAs (Freedom of Information Act).

Mr DeSimone,

It is telling of your character that you ignore your residents when they ask you questions, and then label them as complainers.

And now this,

A public post in a community page, THREATENING him with legal action.

The threats, personal attacks, and harassment by your supporters and/or fake accounts that I see, and have personally experience(d), all over Facebook in attempt to defend you and discredit/silence others are disturbing and disgusting.

It is interesting that in the same post you attack Dr McCullough for not running against you, and then you also seem very upset that he chose to run for an empty school board seat?

He has a Doctorate of Education and is exactly what a school, especially one that has been TRAUMATIZED by SECRECY and COVER-UPS, NEEDS.

If you feel attacked by people reading the publicly available information Chris provides, that sounds like you are aware your actions have been inappropriate and not in the best interests of the residents you are supposed to serve.

*To anyone reading, please share this post within Bensenville Community pages, thank you.

Still getting lots of fake accounts sending phishing links 😂

So basically, these fake accounts want me to click the link which would likely give them access to my account and information/data stored on my device.

This is a link containing more info on phishing scams and how to keep yourself safe:

https://www.ezcomputersolutions.com/blog/why-phishing-is-dangerous/

It's called Whale Phishing when an individual is targeted, and that's what's happening here. I get these messages and links on both this page and the Messy Jessie page.

I'll leave it to you to figure out who would like to shut down these pages.

I've posted before about Addison Township.

There are some really nasty people on that Board,

and yes,

They are supportive of Bensenville's "leadership" as well.

Here's the link to the article:

I shared a serious post on Messy Jessie about the effects of false accusations about predators/pe*****les.

Village and DeSimone defending Fake account, Joe Howard, finds this funny.

I'm not amused that a pe*****le still has his teaching license, and I'm not amused at the harm caused by someone knowingly falsely accusing others.

How does illness shut down a Village Hall?

This seems like a poor management situation.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience," the village said.

Interesting interaction between Chris McCullough, one of the Bensenville Park District Commissioners Chris Hernandez, and Fake Account Joe Howard.

Photo #1 shows a thread of comments.

- In the first comment, McCullough asks:

"Why is Joe allowed to attack me but my thoughts and concerns are not allowed to be part of the narrative?"

The photo attached to the comment shows McCullough has 3 pending posts on Hernandez's community group.

His posts are NOT being approved, yet Joe Howard's posts with the intent to discredit and attack ARE approved.

Photo #2 shows the post where these comments were made.

Photo #3 shows a comment where Chris Hernandez claims to support holding the government accountable, yet his actions do NOT support this claim.

🚩 Note how Mr Hernandez does NOT answer the question that Dr McCullough asks, instead deflects then ignores 🚩

There have been repeated ATTACKS on individuals (including myself) on his Bensenville Community Connection group which Hernandez is the only moderator on.

I am BANNED from the group due to calling out Mr Hernandez for making a public post on his page,
Where he LIED about when he and 2 other individuals berated me at Village Hall for pointing out some "uncomfortable" donations that President DeSimone was accepting.

(One of the other individuals even confirmed my description of the events 🧐)

People who I have never met commented on his post claiming I had mental health issues, that I was unfit to care for my children, and said they should call DCFS on me.

🚩🚩🚩It's DISGUSTING that an elected official would knowingly make a false PUBLIC post against a resident he was supposed to be serving and host a platform for people to THREATEN my CHILDREN 🚩🚩🚩

Again, Mr Hernandez is in control of the narrative in Bensenville Community Connection and alone decides which posts are approved.

He allows personal attacks on people who share relevant information that puts Village President DeSimone in a bad light, but then blocks their ability to share their thoughts and concerns?

Bensenville Community Connection is NOT a free speech page.

Joe Howard's comment brings relevant information to light as well, which I will address in a separate post.

🚩🚩🚩 DeSimone is giving himself a raise and trying to get more power/control over Bensenville🚩🚩🚩

This would be five times more than his current pay and roughly equivalent to the Rockford mayor's.
