Former Freeholder candidate in murder plot

Yep, as we never stop trying to tell you, voters have to be very skeptical about what they are being sold by county "insiders".  It's the game of whisper that you have to worry about.  The things that they won't put down on paper and the people they promote (or bad mouth) that way.

Whisper, whisper, whisper... and that county goodfella they were promoting ends up being a pedophile.  Whisper, whisper, whisper... and that candidate for a job in law enforcement they all told you was so great ends up getting convicted as part of an attempt to kidnap and eat (yes, "eat" -- these are self-identified cannibals) a woman and her daughter.  Whisper, whisper, whisper... and that solar program -- yes, the "no brainer" that "couldn't fail" -- ends up costing taxpayers millions and the end is still nowhere in sight.

Gary Chiusano has been on the receiving end of these noxious whisper campaigns more than once.  When he was nominated by Governor Chris Christie to become Surrogate in 2013, a whisper campaign was mounted against him with the lie that he was doing so to "boost his pension".  In fact, Gary had voluntarily given up his pension when he was elected to the Legislature in 2007.  But that didn't stop the whisperers and it didn't stop them finding a candidate to run against him. 

Gary had tough primaries every step of his career.  He faced tough opposition in his 2007 run for Assembly and in his 2002 run for Freeholder.  Now that former opponent is in the news again.  Chris Thieme was once an up and coming player in Sussex County Republican politics.  He picked-up 3,000 votes against Chiusano in the 2002 Republican primary.  Once upon a time this critter had whisper going for him.  He was the "next big thing".  But a funny thing happened on the way to fulfilling the promise of all that insider whisper.  We'll let the Herald take over from here:

A Newton man and former Sussex County freeholder candidate has been arrested by federal authorities and charged with attempting to pay a hitman $25,000 to kidnap and kill a Paterson woman, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Christopher Thieme, 35, was arrested on Monday and charged with one count of murder-for-hire and one count of attempted kidnapping.

The murder-for-hire charge carries a maximum of 10 years in prison and the attempted kidnapping carries a maximum of 20 years. Each charge also carries a $250,000 fine.

"During multiple telephone conversations and text messages exchanged during this time period, Thieme explained to the individual that Thieme wanted the victim kidnapped and held for a week or two, during which time Thieme would empty the victim's bank accounts and sell the victim's real property for his own profit," a criminal complaint against Thieme said.

The complaint alleges that after two dates, the victim attempted to cut off contact from Thieme.

Thieme allegedly told the undercover agent that he would make the victim's death look like a heroin overdose, the complaint alleges.

On Jan. 4, Thieme took the undercover agent to the victim's home and other frequented locations before being dropped off in Caldwell and being arrested shortly after by the FBI.

You can't trust the whisper of county insiders.  They are corrupt scam artists who work by spreading rumors.  Beware, who knows, the next person whispering in your ear just might be a cannibal. 

Save the bears... eat the people.

The Crabb-Bilik whisper campaign

In 2004, a newcomer named Steve Oroho ran for Freeholder against the county insiders and upended the sitting establishment.  They ran the usual gossip campaign against him.  Gossip is big in Sussex County where campaigns for public office are often conducted along the lines of an election for king and queen of a high school prom.

In 2004, the whisper campaign of malignant gossip spread around dirt on Steve Oroho.  They tried to say that he was "stupid" -- ignoring the fact that Oroho had been the Senior Financial Officer at a Fortune 500 company.  Then they tried class warfare and made him out to be a wealthy elitist in a top hat (like the man off the Monopoly board) when, in fact, he was the hard working son of middle class Irish-American parents. 

Gossip and lies, lies and gossip.  That's the way of the Sussex County whisper campaign.

Franklin Borough and Hardyston Township are the latest victims of the Sussex County whisper campaign.  In 2004, they heard all the lies about Steve Oroho. This year, they are being subjected to a different set of lies.

Freeholder Phil Crabb has been working the fire houses on behalf of Marie Bilik and the solar bailout.  Now that the County's top bureaucrats have all called it quits, Crabb wants to make sure that the solar bailout stays in place.  Crabb wants to make sure that consultants like Stephen Pearlman and Gabel Associates keep stuffing their pockets with the property tax dollars of Sussex County taxpayers.

Crabb wants to make sure that the Wall Streeters who made millions screwing up the project don't have to worry about being held accountable, because Crabb signed a statement saying that they wouldn't.  Crabb wants to make sure that the gag order (what he calls a "non-disparagement clause") is enforced, so that these Wall Street predators can go on and pitch their business to the next suckers and nobody will be the wiser.

Crabb needs Bilik because he needs to protect his friends.
