Two Updates: Harvard "VERITAS" University Officials Lie as Often as Obama, Deval Patrick and Holder, Combined

Last updated Thursday August 22, 2014 7:55 AM ET

At 5:55 AM, Friday August 22, 2014, one hour and five minutes before legal, a large white truck sounded its back up warning beeper and backed into the loading dock on Broadway at the new Harvard University renovated museum. At about 6:20 AM the same day the below van arrived to deliver equipment for the ongoing construction. The former Fogg Museum is still under construction, contrary to official reports to city officials and interested citizens. These are the latest violations of city ordinance by this $500 million project. Repeated complaints to city officials are ignored. Is it because Harvard University, its employees and contractors enjoy the same constitutional exemption from laws as the Obama-Holder doctrine grants to federal officials?

The below images show two men working on the scaffolding outside the renovated Fogg Museum on Saturday August 16, 2104. It shows again that outside construction is not finished as the mitigation office assured me. That was three months after Harvard University administration declared to city officials at an official meeting that construction was completed. The mitigation office explained they "meant to say outside construction was completed." Harvard University officials and their mitigation  office sound more and more like Obama and Holder explaining the meaning of what they say.

On Wednesday August 13, 2014 at about 7:30 AM the dumpster truck was unloading an empty one to pick up a full one. It was legal except for the parking in a No Stopping zone. After several requests that these trucks park on the museum side of the street, also a No Stopping zone, the Harvard University contractors and employees ignored my requests. There are 15 residential units on the side where this dumpster contractor parks.

On Thursday August 14, 2014 at about 6:30 AM 30 minutes before the legal period for construction in  Cambridge, MA, the crane parked in the driveway of the loading dock for the renovated Harvard University museum began sounding its warning beeper. The crane was lowered and then moved. It was a violation of City ordinance. But again Harvard University subscribes to the Obama-Holder doctrine of ignoring inconvenient laws.

In the days after this report was posted Harvard University campus police and their criminal associates (psychologists, police informants, man-hating feminists, lesbians and assorted control freaks) conducted a criminal project of intimidation using young women as bait to try to have me arrested for whatever fantasy they might create in their psychotic minds. It is and was only the latest instance of many years of intimidation of a citizen (moi) by Harvard University campus police, in the free exercise of a constitutionally protected right. That is a felony in Massachusetts. However, also in Massachusetts there is a secret constitutional exemption for Harvard University employees from any inconvenient laws. Plus within the city limits of Cambridge MA, laws are optional. Local officials and university officials adopted the Obama-Holder doctrine which is the White House exemption from U.S. laws and the Constitution. It makes for an exciting nation. Do what you want to do. If it feels good try it, you'll like it. Don't worry. Be happy.

Three months after Harvard University officials boasted to Cambridge City officials that "construction was finished" on the $500 million renovation of the former Fogg Museum, construction continues annoying neighbors and violating city ordinances.


Crane in loading dock driveway of renovated Harvard University Museum

At about 6:30 AM on Monday August 4, 2104, 30 minutes before it is legal to conduct construction in the City of Cambridge, a large crane on a truck at the loading dock of the renovated museum began sounding the loud back up warning signal beeper, which continued for about 30 seconds.

The next day at about 6:30 AM on Tuesday August 5, 2014, 30 minutes before it is legal to conduct construction in the City of Cambridge, the driver of a large truck carrying a dumpster set the air breaks about ten feet from my windows. Fifteen residential units face that street. Within a few minutes he dropped the dumpster on the street in a No Stopping Zone, on Broadway between Quincy Street and Prescott Street.

In June 2014, there were a series of construction vehicles parked outside of my window and a dumpster used to remove construction materials was dropped outside of my windows in a No Parking Zone. Harvard University, like their prominent alumni occupant of the White House and his cronies, Eric "White people are cowards" Holder and Jeh "Illegal immigrants are needy" Johnson, enjoys a constitutional exemption from inconvenient laws.

In June 2014, I complained to the construction mitigation office that it was a continuing annoyance which I'd complained about many times during the three years of construction. The mitigation office said that outside construction was finished. In August 2014 scaffolding remains on an entire wall and part of another which suggests that outside construction continues as well as inside construction. But the movement and parking of trucks makes noise no matter where the construction is done. It is one more example of intentional deception of the public and an abuse of the privileges which Harvard University enjoys as their prestige and $35 billion endowment allows them.

New Exterior Lighting At Harvard University

These are images of the new exterior lights on the front of the building at 85 Prescott Street. The lights at 95 Prescott Street may have the same problem. Each light has a shade inside of the cover. But the position of it directs light toward the windows of the apartment nearby, and shades light directed toward the front steps. It is the opposite of what one would expect the shade to do.  



Daytime image of the light on the left of the front door. Notice the shade (dark area) on the right side of this light, which blocks light toward the front steps. It is not known why this light is on during daytime especially in view of the Harvard University major effort to save energy.

Harvard's Dancing Cranes

These cranes which appear to be dancing are in Brighton Massachusetts. They are part of a major construction project of Harvard University developing previously empty land, which Harvard University acquired and is now building up and filling in. The dark image is the building under construction. These images were captured on July 22, 2014, near dusk.

Harvard University Construction Is Done. It Must Be A Dream

A regular meeting of the Cambridge Planning Board. Town gown meetings are held in the Senior Center.

And one before that
http://enoughroomvideo.blogspot.com/2014/02/harvard-university-continues-deceiving.html

7:30 AM Wednesday July 16, 2014. Loud banging noise outside my window, which faces the new Harvard Art Museum, formerly the Fogg Museum. A few months ago at a town gown meeting with the City of Cambridge Planning Board, Harvard University's PR flacks announced, boasted that construction is done on the Museum project bringing relief to neighbors who endured three years of construction noise. Problem is that construction was not finished. The mitigation team told me they meant to say "outside" construction. But that was not, and is not done either. I used to attend those meetings and video tape them for city residents. I've seen how Harvard University's PR flacks stretch the truth just as well as the President's PR flacks mislead the nation.

Previous discussions with the mitigation team requested (three times) that if it was necessary to park large noisy trucks on Broadway which is a "No Stopping" zone on both sides of Broadway, why can't they park on the museum side? Their usual first response is "Why are you the only one [who complains]?" I've seen trucks back into the driveway next to the former Sackler Museum and park on the museum side of Broadway. It can be done. Yes, they can. Cambridge police allow these repeated traffic violations, because they are Harvard University, which has a special constitutional exemption from complying with inconvenient laws. It is the same exemption enjoyed by Obama-Holder-Johnson in Washington DC.

Nonetheless it is annoying and shows how arrogant Harvard University and their mitigation teams are. The last time they told me (as the PR flacks told city officials) that the construction is done, and that the museum is no longer the responsibility of the mitigation team.  Harvard University operations, which is the Harvard University campus police, is who I should call. They are even more abusive, if that is possible, than Harvard University Housing which ignores laws and tenants' rights every day. When I did call the operations officials, they told me to call the mitigation office. At many meetings with city officials Harvard University representatives make promises that they will perform one or another act in the future. But no one ever follows up to see if they do. It is why Harvard University is able to say anything at these meetings and no one ever checks to see if what they say is accurate. Just as the main stream media fails to ensure what the Obama-Holder-Johnson triumvirate says has any connection to reality. Oh wait. Did Obama attend Harvard Law School or something like that? 

So instead of wasting my time calling to any of the Harvard University employees wasting my energy, and not needing to be insulted any more by their omniscient employees, I decided to post these images for all to see how deceptive, misleading and abusive Harvard University is, with all of its money and all of its prestige. With all of its progressive credentials, generating politicians who led the nation into its current despair, cynicism and disgust, the most prominent university in America is no different than most corporations in the world. But Harvard University has a better image.

Harvard Celebrates Summer Solstice

Harvard University Museums of Science & Culture celebrated the summer solstice on Saturday June 21, 2014 with acrobats, telescopes, and other science demonstrations. These images were captured on the overpass which Harvard calls the Science Center Plaza.

Harvard University Fund Raising Trumps Public Safety

Each June Harvard University sponsors a fund raising dinner for alumni on the overpass (Harvard University refers to it as the Science Center Plaza). It remains land owned by the City of Cambridge, but is administered by Harvard University. This year the south side of the tent walls are about 15 feet from the fence of Harvard Yard. That allows for emergency vehicles to drive up to the tent and go out to the street. The north side is only about 6 feet from the edge of the sidewalk and less to the branches of the trees. Only the Segways and their motorcycles could fit through that space. It is curious that Harvard does not allow for emergencies, in view of their priorities of security on their property. The university gave up freedom for security many years ago. But when it comes to fund raising security loses its priority. Harvard University uniformed campus police are often seen patrolling this area. But campus police jurisdiction only extends to Harvard's property line. The city acquiesces in this extension of Harvard's police power beyond state law. It saves city police labor costs and makes their job easier. But it also prevents city police from working details at such events. Then again Cambridge and Harvard University operate under the Obama-Holder doctrine, which declares inconvenient laws may be  ignored.      

Here is a link to images of the tent that was used in 2013
