Albany NY; Tales from the Darkside

Many of you were wondering about my absence from Saratoga Springs this holiday weekend. Well I’m happy to report that Saratoga in Decline has opened an Albany Bureau. I now work out of the Daily Grind on Lark Street while I continue to investigate one of the strangest stories of my career.
For the first time in recent memory, my cell phone actually ran out of juice {in Abany my blog is known as SID} over this long holiday weekend. That’s because I’ve been receiving so many calls as a result of the recent stories in the New York Times (HERE) and the Times Union (HERE) concerning a prostitution bust that took place last March at the Green Garden Asian Spa IN Albany, NY..Many of those phone calls concerned the “are-you-shitting-me” claim by J. Robert Port, the TU’s Senior Editor for Investigations, that the bust was the result of a conspiracy involving Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings, the Albany Police Department, and the Albany County Sheriff’s Office - and that it was done as retaliation for some of the TU’s stories concerning the Sheriff Office’s former drug unit. But a lot of them were also about Kevin A. Luibrand (http://www.luibrandlaw.com/), NXIVM’s original lap-dog lawyer - and the guy who, along with NXIVM founder, Keith Raniere a/k/a Vanguard, begat the cult’s ongoing program of intimidation-by-litigation.
In addition to representing NXIVM and Raniere, Luibrand has also represented a whole host of unsavory characters over the past few years. I know that “criminal defense attorneys” often do that as part of their day-to-day work - but, in my experience, the best of them still have standards.
Luibrand, by contrast, has never found anyone that he wouldn’t defend, as long as they had enough money to afford his “Super Lawyer” fees. (Yep, just like my favorite criminal defense attorney, Steve Coffey, Kevin has also bought himself that “Super Lawyer” title). These include former Schenectady police chief Greg Kaczmarek - and Mosharref Hossain, a local pizza shop owner who, along with local Iman Yassin Muhiddin Aref, were charged with running an international money laundering operation that helped anti- American terrorists.
Kaczmarek and his wife were charged with being part of a highly organized drug ring based in Schenectady, NY. HERE

And, to the surprise of many, Luibrand is now representing Bob Port and his wife even though neither of them has been charged with a crime. Like Steve Coffey would say, that’s nice work if you can get it.
Luibrand also has a way with words. Here are some examples from Monkey 21: YOU CAN GO THERE AND PICK OUT SOME MORE

“I'm living proof that a monkey can try a case if the facts are good.”

But Luibrand’s involvement in the Port case is also seen by many as further confirmation that Luibrand played a central role in helping take down former Albany Police Chief Jim Tuffy - and former Albany County Sheriff Jim Campbell (HERE) and HERE). That’s because Tuffy and Campbell were on top of Port’s “hit list” of public officials that needed to be taken down.

So, in the last 8 years, Albany County has lost a veteran Albany County DA, Sol Greenberg, and his protégé, Paul Clyne, who was beat out by the Working Families Party hand-picked candidate, P. David Soares; a veteran Albany City Police Chief, Jim Tuffy; and a veteran Albany County Sheriff, Jim Campbell. And what did they get in return?

But, making all of this even worse is the word I’m hearing that, despite a little dust-up back in 2003 about the fees he charged for losing a Preliminary Injunction case that NXIVM eventually brought to the U.S. Supreme Court, Luibrand is back in bed with Keith Raniere and the President of NXIVM, Nancy Salzman. And why, you ask, would Kevin do that? Well, my friends, that apparently goes back to those wonderful Explorations of Meaning (EMs) that NXIVM uses to find out each member’s worst-ever deeds and greatest-ever fears.

At the time that NXIVM decided to replace Luibrand on the Ross case, Salzman openly bragged about the fact that he would never do anything to harm NXIVM because “…we have so much dirt on Kevin he’d lose his license to practice law and probably end up in jail if he tries to do anything to harm us.” Yep, folks, that’s what happens when you decide to spill your guts to the high priestess of NXIVM.

So, here we are with NXIVM openly running a Ponzi scheme in Colonie, NY and thumbing its nose at state and federal tax authorities while its leader goes about trying to top Wilt Chamberlain’s claim that he slept with 20,000 women (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_life_of_Wilt_Chamberlain). And meanwhile, the local Sheriff’s department and the local DA keep their eyes carefully averted from everything that is NXIVM.

And now we have the TU’s Senior Investigative Editor {Do they also have a Junior Investigative Editor?} involved up to his eyeballs in a case that I believe will eventually involve charges of human trafficking and sex slavery. And, to top things off, Senior Editor Port - along with his wife and, wonder of wonders, the accused prostitute – lives in Chatham, NY which just happens to host a variety of over-the-top sex clubs. One of the strangest stories I have ever heard was told to me by a frightened man on Albany’s South End{ he called the spot for the meeting}.I was told that Chatham, NY is home to a notorious Hell-Fire club. This club is rumored to be the meeting places of "persons of quality” who wished to take part in immoral acts such as hard core acts of Sadomasochistic humiliation and even torture. I was told members were often very involved in politics. One was said to be an ex-governor of NY.
I was told some of the women were professionals who specialized in this form of “entertainment” Which I'm told included defecating and urinating on men in great positions of power. I really don’t have a problem with that aspect to the story, but I was also told fresh Chinese girls {he called them fresh meat} were also used. Now as many of my long time readers know I have deep ties to the Russian and Ukrainian community in Brighton Beach Brooklyn {here} They explained the Chinese system of Human trafficking goes something like this. Poor naive girls are recruited from the Chinese countryside with promises of jobs in America. These girls have very limited prospects in China so many take the bait.

Then they are smuggled by boat to Vancouver Canada {a very large NXIVM training center is there HERE} and brought cross country to the Canadian ,New York border. Here they are smuggled through St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. This is a Mohawk Indian reservation in Franklin County, New York, from here they are transported to Chinatown NYC. This type of human trafficking supplies women for forced labor, domestic servitude, and sex trafficking. The women are in what is called debt bondage. They owe vast sums of money to their masters the Traids/Tongs. These Traids/Tongs are the most powerful organized crime in the world, even more than the Italian Mafia ever was.

Even my Russian friends steer clear of them. There are AT LEAST 100,000 KNOWN Asian mobsters in the world. They limit violence to very small doses now. Their gang is run like a business. They are everywhere. In Prague when I met some Russian friends to buy some WW2 artifacts, I was taken to what’s called a “Chinese Market” this in the middle of central Europe. Nice stuff by the way. In Chinatown they just tossed the Senegalese bootleg watch sellers out and now have a monopoly on the watch and bag business. Some of the Asian Traids have existed since the 1600s. They have secret traditions, rituals (even for initiation), handshakes and EVEN SIGN LANGUAGE. The largest known gang in the world is the 14K Triad. These gangs participate in all forms of criminal activity but their most lucrative form of business is trafficking of illegal immigrants (mainly women). It is estimated that the earnings of trafficking of illegal immigrants is 3.2 Billion a year yet is punishable in most of Europe and the United States of only 5 years in prison.

Some end up giving hand jobs to "clients" in Asian massage parlors like the Green Garden Asia Spa owned by J. Robert Port, the TU’s Senior Editor for Investigations . Another aspect of these operations is the girls are kept in their pimps home {sound like Port?}. This way whatever pittance they earn is deducted for room and board. Not all the girls just give hand jobs. The young ones start out like this.

This is a volume business. Many girls service twenty, thirty men a day with full service sex. Once they wear out they can expect a long career of jerking off men till carpal tunnel sets in. So much for the American dream. Now is Port behind this too? Who knows, but I can say that he ran an Asian jack shack with the women staying in his home in Chatham, NY which just happens to be home to a Hell-fire club served by what else? Chinese Girls. Did I mention that Port and Albany DA David Soares are best friends?

Wow. Although I once wondered if I would eventually run out of things to write about, I now know that I’ll go to my grave with hundreds of unfinished stories. Remember these girls are no different than you and me. They had dreams and hope and ambition. They bleed when you cut them and cry when you beat them. They deserve better than this. If, and I said if, Port and Albany DA David Soares have anything to do with horrific form of human misery and the devastating impact it has on the lives of so many people they should be imprisoned. And I hear that is exactly what’s going to happen.

Part of me is excited to be playing a very small part in exposing this business taking place in New York’s Capital but I admit it eats at my very soul. I’m just a little man who writes on a little blog. I just hope that by writing this post the victims will be helped. Fuck Port and Albany DA David Soares. I care more for the fate of one of these girls than all the Ports and Soares of this world. I sleep tonight back home knowing that for once I and God are thinking the same way.

Till next time Good night.
