More BS. "Condition of Anonimity" That just means you are making stuff up again. Patch will never be taken seriously if it keeps letting clowns like this guy keep posting crap like this.

Don't hold your breath expecially when your talking about Mikulski and Ruppersberger.

Rob there are some people who fail to comprehend that developing sources require you protect that source, otherwise people would not trust or talk to you.

For those people I would suggest a course that was or still is a requirement in exactly this situation, a required watching of "All the Presidents Men." Watergate would have died after the first edition had the sources been revealed. What matters is the truth and conformation of all related material. That is why I posted the PDF's and always use at least two confirmations on material.

As I recall the person making the lame comments once said the Baltimore VA was one of the best in the country. So much for his knowledge.

You are correct on Ruppersberger and Mikulksi. Rather thank focus on developments that exclude our veterans for the most part (if they qualified) their concern should have been the VA in Baltimore which is falling apart.

I find it interesting that this person is always the first to comment on my blogs.

Sounds like the guys from District Six are still doing an outstanding job as usual.......problem us.......they continue to get re-elected......and people wonder why things don't change......

I will say this again !!!!!!!!
I'm not concerned with the content of what is written...
In concerned about the following...
Buzz Beeler is Buzz Beeler, the patch shows his face, name & comment
On the the other hand the anonymous people allowed on Patch is wrong, these people hide behind being anonymous & talk out their butts. They are hurtful, mean, misinformed, and sometimes slanderous.
It is the Patches duty to have all commenters actual name appear on the comment screen.
I enjoy obtaining local news & info from this venue but the arena that the Patch is setting up is becoming tabloid & not worth reading comments, which is more than 50% of the Patch.
Gene Bertoni

Don't pretend you care about Veterans Beeker. What branch of the military did you serve in?

Gene, read this interview with Carl Bernstein, it will help explain. If I am wrong and I have been doing this since 1984, then I could be sued for libel. I am not wrong and that is why I use links in my blogs and verify my information.

Carl Bernstein

I know of very little important reporting of the last 30 to 40 years that has been done without use of confidential sources, particularly in the national security area. ... What we know about the last five, six, seven presidencies, we know through the use of confidential sources. If we had relied on the information from this president, from this secretary of state, from this secretary of defense, from this vice president, we would know almost nothing of the truth of [the Iraq war]. ...

But with the use of confidential sources, certain things are incumbent on the reporter: to represent a kind of responsibility and refuse to be whipped around by a source, to be led astray by a source. There's a responsibility, if possible, to identify the particular orientation of a source. For instance, if it's a story involving fund raising in the Republican National Committee, and the source is a Republican fund-raiser, it would be very significant to identify that person as a Republican fund-raiser. If it were a Democrat off on the sidelines, it would seem to me you would have to say that the source is a Democrat and then explain how he's come into information and why it's credible. So it's a tricky question how you present it.

There's that man crush you have on Fred Homan coming out again. You know, if you dressed a little better, he might even go out with you.

MC, going back through your comments it appears you are a company man.

Now I was responding to Gene's comment concerning my use of sources. Fred Homan is the classic example of why. Why don't you read the Blake case to refresh your memory. There are many more such as this one.

http://perryhall.patch.com/blog_posts/cluster-fred-homan-needs-to-go

I could go on about some of his exploits and how he handled them by firing the person but I won't go into the explicit details.

The crux of the matter would be how long do you think the jobs of those in the county would last if Homan new I was talking to certain people.

I know first hand what it is like to stand up and be heard. I think they call it retaliation and retribution. I will never expose people to what I went through.

I was once threatened with (I won't mention his name) a civil suit over libel and my response was - bring it on - and we can all learn about the real truth behind the actions of our government officials. If these officials don't like the truth then don't create situations where their actions question the bounds of it.

Actually I thank Homan for his generous pension and giving me a chance to practice my second love, writing the truth.

Trust me MC there is a lot more out there, much more.

You're just a bitter old man with a Fred Homan man crush. It is quite pathetic.

MC, I may be old but I write the truth, as much as it may disturb some. The only pathetic thing about the issue is the number of lives he has impacted and keeps on getting away with it.

That goes right back to leadership at the top.

Just tell the truth Beeker. You made it up.

....and the Feds aren't investigating the project. You made that up too.

Normally I would not respond to you but since you asked and to make sure I show the folks just how you lack any knowledge of anything, read it and weep.

This investigation includes the whole process including Fort Howard. Don't bother me again with your ill-informed questions but rather learn how to read. I wrote about this before.

This audit does not include the GAO coming to Baltimore to conduct their own investigation regarding Fort Howard.

That's an audit of the whole system which is routinely required. It's a far cry from an "investigation" Pinocchio.

Kongo, I'm trying to encourage him to read. He read that entire audit in record time. Isn't he amazing!

It seems that our friend Steve can't take the truth when he is pointed out as one who knows absolutely nothing but yet continues to run his mouth.

Where did you go Steve?

Frank, if you are going to quote me do it right and not as you have because you GOT IT WRONG!

My remark read, "I was once threatened with (I won't mention his name) a civil suit over libel and my response was - bring it on - ..."

Frank's quote concerning my comment; '"I was once threatened with a civil suit over my libel and my response was - bring it on..."'

I did not use the words MY LIBEL, they are your misquoted words. Get it right!

"On the the other hand the anonymous people allowed on Patch is wrong, these people hide behind being anonymous & talk out their butts. "

Gino, Maybe you missed that the crux of the article was based on a "Condition of Anonimity"

It seems to me that Beeler comes on this "blog", makes a bunch of shit up and then spends the next two days defending what he made up. This site is crap, his reporting is crap and the half ass information that comes out of it is crap! Stop making up sources Beeler...Shall we go back to all of your articles and show the trail of misinformation? I feel like this reporter has your number Beeler...
http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/81826654/

Billy, your very first comment I see. You are real avid reader of Patch I presume. Read all the articles and have documentation to back up your amateurish claims?

I love this claim: "I feel like this reporter has your number Beeler..." Reporter? Who do you write for? There is no record of you on Face Book or Google. You must have a very deserve audience.

Billy Madison is a character out of a Adam Sandler movie. Brilliant choice of names.

Where is the crap? Name it? Point it out? I have more much more and this goes to the top. By the way this is video evidence. I don't think when our founding fathers wrote "We the people", meant we were stupid.

I am waiting to hear about the misinformation on this and other articles. I have been doing this for a long time and learned get it right the first time.

http://www.buzzbeeler.com/articles

Now I will await your reply and don't forget the name of the publication you write for.

By the way I don't defend anything, I simply explain to the folks questions they have.

Can't wait to hear from you and don't forget your documentation.

Well, maybe instead of all this guessing resulting in the usual conspiracy theories you should have called the Developer directly.

I knew this was going to come to be with Fort Howard LLC, as I did early on with the previous developer Federal Development LLC. Neither one is run by anyone with any known success in completing such a project as they each proposed for the Ft. Howard VAMC property (both plans being nearly the same in proposed scope and size), and neither show financial ability to do so. I've done research on the principals of each, and will post on Patch about them when my work is ready.

I, as does nearly every writer who does stories like Buzz Beeler's blog here, sometimes receive anonymous information - which is then checked on to be verified by a different source. In most of these situations, revealing an anonymous source puts that person at risk of having bad things happen to them. If revealed, some know they will be fired from their job, others could be threatened with harm and/or be harmed. That harm could be to them, their family, friends and/or property. This is common knowledge - worldwide.

We - including the 6,000 petition signers & maybe you - are for a veterans use project of reasonable size. We are against a huge development that will turn Ft. Howard into a crowded town full of frustrated residents, employees, park visitors, multiple companies' and government supply delivery drivers, etc.. We are protecting everyone involved - including veterans and non-vets who would move to Ft. Howard not realizing the troubles they'll face in such a potentially overpopulated place.

Thanks David. People seem to forget that money rules all and finding the trail of that money or lack thereof is not as easy as they think. There is so much that goes on that I don't write about.

They don't understand like the one above who said just call the developer. Sure! You think for one second he is going to be honest or even acknowledge me.

I saw how honest they were at the community meeting. We'll get right back to you on this. Or we will have all the answers in 30 days. The community never heard from them again.

They forgot to tell you about the infrastructure issues like water, electricity and traffic and who was going to pay for this.

And for our ill-informed friend I did try and contact them with no reply.

I wouldnt answer an email or phone call from Beeler. His ill attempt at writing usually involves misquoting people or false information.

"I, as does nearly every writer who does stories like Buzz Beeler's blog here, sometimes receive anonymous information - which is then checked on to be verified by a different source.

....and some people use the cloak of anonymity to just make stuff up and create these patently absurd conspiracy theories.

More people publicly espouse stuff they made up than ever has been or will be espoused as anonymous info to investigating writers. You can see it everyday on TV. But it is common knowledge - all around the world - that "some people use the cloak of anonymity to just make stuff up." Which is why anonymous info needs to be verified someway. And the fact that nothing has been accomplished towards beginning construction on the development project on Ft. Howard VAMC property shows me that Buzz's anonymous Baltimore County source told the truth.

I - along with many others - don't need to read a blog to know that Ft. Howard Development LLC has failed to do what they said they would. We've witnessed the lack of action. Buzz's blog informs others who don't know about it.

In November 2010, the VA announced their choice of Ft. Howard Development LLC as the new contractor for the project http://www.maryland.va.gov/publications/newsreleases/2010/11-22-10_FtHowardDeveloperSelected.asp . Here it is 2 1/4 years later and all that has been done towards meeting requirements of the Major Milestone Steps is that grandiose plans were made and published on the Ft. Howard Development LLC website. A website that has been taken down from the Internet; and nothing by Ft. Howard Development LLC comes up in searches - which indicates they ain't gonna do anything more to complete the project.

There are no "conspiracy theories" in Buzz's blog, just published proof of what many of us know.

Again, thanks David. We are dealing with people who have no clue as to what constitutes factual information. That is why the use fake names and make wild claims. What they fail to realize is that if I libel someone I can be sued. That is why I always tell these people to study Watergate. If Woodstein [sic] (nickname) would have published the names of their sources Watergate would have lasted one day. I even quoted one of them in an interview on the subject.

They make claims (run their mouths) and never back them up. Actually they have no clue as to what is going on.

I attended the meeting with my editor at the time and we heard directly from the developers and what they promised the community and what they were going to do. I obtained a government three-ringed binder on the entire project. I posted as a PDF file showing the bench marks they had to meet.

Everything they told the community was not true. The promised to have other meetings and a report on the traffic concerns in 30 days which never came. They promised to reveal how the infrastructure upgrades would be done and that never happened. After the meeting they disappeared.

Then I got word of the GAO audit and investigation into the VA's operation of these EUL's and posted that.

I would describe them as ill-informed.

We are wasting our breath with these no nothing types who are shown to be wrong time after time. Like I said look at who we are dealing with.

As opposed to disgruntled, grumpy, old Farts that spend the rest of their waning days believing in conspiracy theories.

Was "Your Editor" the same person who accompanied you to your tilting at windmills expedition to the SAO's Office?

What a Maroon!

His name is Ron Cassie who is now I believe is at Baltimore Magazine.

http://dundalk.patch.com/articles/fort-howard-deal-could-be-signed-in-3-weeks

Explain you theory on the conspiracy after reading Ron's article Mr. Armstrong. I am working on a blog on he subject which will include you and your comments. It deals with the law and how it's applied.

"I am working on a blog on he subject which will include you and your comments. It deals with the law and how it's applied."

I really don't know how you can humanly possible make yourself look like a bigger fool than you already have. I am looking forward to it. It should be interesting. Make sure you run it by Ronnie first!

I would like to say thank for sharing this great article. We can’t get this kind of information from http://www.afashion-styles.com
