May 20, 2008
Today, May 20th, marks one of two May anniversaries between Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr. & I. 10 years ago, on May 20th, 1998, then-Berkshire State Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo II set up secret plans with the Pittsfield Police Department to have me arrested after falsely reporting to them that I had made veiled threats against him and that if I was to enter his Pittsfield, Massachusetts, legislative district office, the police were to be called and I was to be arrested.
Prior to "Luciforo's" false allegations, he had threatened me twice: (a) Once in the Summer of 1997 during the swearing in ceremony of Judge Francis X. Spina, and (b) Secondly while he was marching in the North Adams, Massachusetts, 1997 Fall Foliage Parade. The former "Luciforo" threat came via a cold, intimidating and long stare at me where I had to look away. The latter "Luciforo" threat came via "Luciforo" breaking his parade route and aggressively walking towards me and stopping within my personal space and staring me down until I looked down.
Then, during the month of October 1997, "Luciforo" cut out a news article published in the North Adams Transcript and made two ethics complaints against my dad, Bob Melle, to two respective state government agencies in Boston, Massachusetts. "Luciforo" filed an ethics complaint against my dad to the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission for his conflict of interest of being a then-long-term state employee at the Pittsfield court system and being a then-elected Berkshire County Commissioner. "Luciforo's" intent was to force my dad to resign his then-elected position. "Luciforo" filed another ethics complaint against my dad to the Chief Trial Court Judge in Boston, making the case that my dad was insubordinate for speaking out against the issue of courthouse rent payments while ultimately serving his state governmental agency. "Luciforo's" intent was to force my dad into having his long-term courthouse employment terminated. If "Luciforo" had won, he would have ultimately taken away my dad's state pension that my dad benefits from today. "Luciforo" would have placed my family into financial ruin! Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr. is a no good, son of a bitch!

Re: How one old & obscure news article published in "The North Adams Transcript" has changed my life
January 4, 2008
Dear News Media, Politicians, & the People:
Yesterday evening, I spent a few hours out with my dad. He expressed to me his FEAR of retaliation by Pittsfield, Massachusetts’ powerbrokers in response to my writings and political Blog. Both of my parents have senior citizen health issues and rely on their public pensions for their survival. My dad said that he believes in my right to speak out on public policy issues, but what Pittsfield’s powerbrokers put my family through a decade ago may recur again.
In October of 1997, my dad was quoted in a local news article concerning the public policy issue of Courthouse rent. The North Adams Transcript in North Adams, Massachusetts, published this news story. One of Pittsfield’s powerbrokers photocopied this news article and issued an Ethics Complaint to the State Government in Boston, Massachusetts. The complaint was also issued to my dad’s boss in Boston, Massachusetts, where it was argued that my dad was insubordinate to his “chain of command”. As an aside, I read the entire state ethic’s legal documents in the Spring of 1998, including the attached news article published by The North Adams Transcript in October of 1997.
Sometime about a decade ago, my dad underwent Kafkaesque state government hearings for allegedly both breaking state ethics laws and being insubordinate. My dad was a state government employee honorably serving Probation Officer in Pittsfield since late-1970 (& he later retired from his long-standing position in early-2002), and also, he was elected in 1996 as a Berkshire County Commissioner, serving his honorable four-year-term six months short of completion after the state abolished and took over the functions of Berkshire County Government (from January 1997 – June 30, 2000).
During this time period, I was a graduate student at The University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where I ultimately received a Master of Public Administration in May 1999. Due to recurring family conflicts with my mother and other related interpersonal conflicts in my life at that time, I moved into my grandparent’s home in North Adams, Massachusetts on July 1, 1997, where I lived through August 31, 1998, except when I attended U Mass during the Fall 1997 and Spring 1998 academic semesters. I did what I had to do to survive. I am not arguing I was right or my mother was wrong or other people were right or wrong either. Most of the time, it takes two (or more) to tango and both or multiple parties are both right and wrong at the same time. Conflict centers on power, and I was a young man weak on overpowering my opponents. So instead of fighting, I fled. Some labeled me a “Coward.” But, I believe I wanted a better life for myself without hurting others, unlike some of my adversaries.
During the Summer of 1997, while I lived with my paternal grandparents, I attended a ceremony honoring a promotion for State Justice Francis X. Spina. After we exited the Courthouse where my dad worked, I was standing in the outside reception area when I saw State Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., glaring at me with a hard, cold stare. I walked and looked away from “Luciforo”. Then, while I was a graduate student at U Mass Amherst, I came “home” to my grandparent’s home to watch the 1997 North Adams Fall Foliage Parade. I was standing with my Uncle Dick and my cousin Richard when “Luciforo” walked by and hostilely walked up to my face. Sara Hathaway was at “Luciforo’s” side. I looked down in panic and then both my Uncle and my cousin stepped in front of me. “Luciforo” then looked at the three of us, assessed the situation, and quickly walked away with his legislative aide.
While attending U Mass Amherst, I was daily harassed by “Luciforo’s” counterpart’s, State Senator Stanley C. Rosenberg’s, two legislative aides who were my also my classmates. They taunted me with what Pittsfield’s powerbrokers were doing to my dad. They shouted out “Berkshire County” when I expressed my views. They even brought up that they worked for Stan Rosenberg’s district office in Northampton, Massachusetts. They knew my dad was in trouble via political persecution by the powerbrokers. They knew of the fate I was to face back in the Berkshires. They taunted me with all of it, and gloated about my family’s demise. Stan Rosenberg, like “Luciforo”, sent messages of power, aggression, fear, hate and bullying to me while I attended my graduate level classes.
In May of 1998, “Luciforo” made false accusations against me to the Pittsfield Police Department. After “Luciforo” threatened me twice previously, he reported to the Pittsfield Police Department that I was threatening him. If I was to visit his Pittsfield District Office, I would be deemed a threat and the police were on notice to arrest me. “Luciforo” knew that I would be back in the Berkshires during my summer break from U Mass Amherst. “Luciforo” set me up with the Pittsfield Police Department without apprising any of my family members. My dad found out about “Luciforo’s” plans for me to spend time in Berkshire County Sheriff Carmen C. Massimiano’s County Jail, and I was apprised to stay away from “Luciforo” and his Pittsfield District Office.
At this point, in the Summer of 1998, I had watched an entire year go by where I fled my family home and my conflictual mother and others, was threatened twice by “Luciforo”, saw my dad almost lose his state job and elected position because he was quoted in a local news article about Courthouse rent public policy issues, endured daily harassment by Stan Rosenberg’s two legislative interns in my graduate level classes at U Mass Amherst, and then was forewarned that “Luciforo” wanted to put me behind bars at his “good old boy” friend’s, Carmen’s, County Jail for a crime “Luciforo” committed against me, not the other way around.
In July of 1998, State Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., and State Representative Daniel E. Bosley, both abolished Berkshire County Government as a secret rider to the FY1999 Massachusetts State Budget. “Luciforo” and “Bureaucrat” Bosley held no public hearings, gave no forewarnings, and secretly abolished Berkshire County Government and transferred all assets from the county to the state. “Luciforo” and “Bureaucrat” Bosley had no comprehensive plan in place on how the state would effectively administer all of the county’s assets. Pontoosuc Lake in Pittsfield and Lanesborough was placed in a state accounting agency for several consecutive years, and the lake became weed infested and almost died. A dam in Hancock became irreparable due to many years of neglect under state government control. To this day, Berkshire County has no regional political representation.
In the Fall of 1998, I went back to U Mass for my final academic year of college. I did not have to go to Carmen’s County Jail. Stan Rosenberg’s interns backed off of me after they successfully abolished Berkshire County Government during the Summer of 1998. My dad won his Ethics case and was able to keep his state job and elected position on the condition that he not talk about what had happened. Please note that my writings on these aforementioned matters does not include my dad disclosing the utter corruption and persecuting abuses of power of Pittsfield, Amherst, Boston, Massachusetts politics.
Some interesting things in Massachusetts State Government were going on during this time. During my Fall 1998 semester, I attended a U Mass Amherst gubernatorial debate between Paul Cellucci and Scott Harshbarger. Acting Governor Cellucci kept stating that the “Big Dig” was “on budget, on time.” Governor Cellucci went on to win the election and went from “Acting” Governor to “Elected” Governor. By the Spring of 2000, Paul Cellucci’s “on budget, on time” administration of the “Big Dig” saw a $2 Billion cost overrun! By the next year, Governor Cellucci resigned his office and fled to Canada with President George W. Bush’s blessing. “Acting” Governor Jane Swift then took over the reigns of power, where she oversaw the darkest period of the “Big Dig” project. I went on to graduate from U Mass Amherst in May 1999, and by the Fall of 1999, I enlisted in the U.S. Army to repay my student loans and honorably serve my country. After enduring inhumane duty shifts and having to disobey illegal orders in order to protect human life overseas, I had a mental breakdown. I was honorably discharged during the Summer of 2001—two month prior to September 11th, 2001.
During the Summer of 2004, which was the first summer I spend as a citizen of New Hampshire, U.S. President George W. Bush ordered me an appeal hearing one block from the White House so I may receive VA Benefits. The president sent me his regards for my honorable military service. My VA case is still ongoing nearly 6.5 years later. The federal government is very unfair and inefficient at granting benefits to Veterans!
When I got back from my hearing, I attended a Denis Guyer campaign event at my late-political friend’s home in Becket, Massachusetts. During the Summer of 2004, Denis E. Guyer did not acknowledge me, hardly made eye contact, and then used the word “Pussy” against me in front of women and children. The next year, on July 23, 2005, at the state Democratic Party convention held at the Bosquet Ski Area in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Denis E. Guyer went onto to slander my name by publicly stating the “I think Jonathan Melle belongs in a psychiatric institution. I don’t believe Jonathan Melle deserves Veterans Benefits. I cannot believe the President wants to give everything to him. I mean, after all, all Jonathan Melle did was stalk a Jewish woman from Otis, Massachusetts!” Then, a year later in September 2006, at a John Forbes Kerry event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in downtown Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Denis E. Guyer’s campaign worker, Pittsfield City Councilor Peter Marchetti went around the room and told everyone that “Jonathan Melle’s plan was to live with his maternal grandmother at her Pittsfield home, but that Jonathan was asked to leave by his grandmother.”
Let us go down the list of Denis E. Guyer’s slander of me.
The Jewish woman from Otis whom I allegedly stalked was in actuality a woman from Becket whom I worked together with a State Park during the Summer of 1996. She had invited me to her family’s summer cottage in Otis where I was made to feel threatened and very uncomfortable by her father, who abusively mistreated me. I was physically unable to leave this woman’s summer cottage home because another state park co-worker was insulting, threatening, and abusing me and he blocked my car in with his car and would not move his car after I repeatedly asked him to, when the woman pressured me to let it go. I believe this woman had me kidnapped for an entire evening, knowing her father and my other co-worker were to have abused me. This woman then pressured me to go out to a bar with her and my other co-worker. This woman flirted with me constantly. One day at work, this woman said to me, “You know what my mother and I did on my day off yesterday?” I replied, “What did you do?” The woman replied to me, “My mother and I drove by your old Pittsfield home.” Her father constantly threatened me. This woman apprised me that her father had plans to assault me. She then put her arm around me and pressured me to keep in touch with her. When I was at the bank, her father acted very hostilely towards me. Her father would always point his finger at me and speak in a threatening tone, usually insulting me with his body language and demeaning words. This woman then sent me love notes and a Valentine’s Card. This woman then went around telling people insulting things about me, such as that I am a nice guy who will finish last in life, I wanted her, I followed her home, I was stalking her, and the like. In the Fall of 1999, I finally got the courage to break my silence against this woman and her father, and I explained the situation to the Massachusetts State Police. The Massachusetts State Police Officers told the woman’s father that he cannot assault me, and the woman’s father sarcastically replied, “Why not?” They also told the woman that if anything ever happens to me then they are going to go after her. The female Massachusetts Police Officer told the woman that if she ever ruins it for me then she is going to do everything in her power to ruin it for her. The female Massachusetts State Police Officer told the woman that she met women like her and that she related to nice guys like me only to threaten nice guys like me. At any rate, it is grossly unfair for Denis E. Guyer to say what he has said without including the rest of the story: I was kidnapped, stalked, threatened, coerced and pressured, and verbally abused. Moreover, Denis E. Guyer doesn’t ever explain that in the face of all of this HARASSMENT, I never threatened or harmed this woman or her family. Denis Guyer does not explain that this woman was married in the Summer of 2002.
Conspiratorially, I mostly blame this woman’s father for this entirely abusive situation. This woman’s father was a professor at Berkshire Community College in PITTSFIELD! Nuciforo’s maternal side of his family ran BCC, including Anne E. Wojtkowski, who is “Luciforo’s” Aunt and a former Mayor of Pittsfield. I believe someone connected to Nuciforo in PITTSFIELD may have very well put this woman’s father up to harassing me. If this conspiracy is true, it fits into all of the other negative Pittsfield scenarios.
Denis Guyer stated that I believe in a psychiatric institution and that I should not be entitled to my VA benefits. While I was in the U.S. Army, a soldier lower than rank held a steel bar to my head to threaten me in recurring episodes of him bullying me. When I reported it through my chain of support and command, my Sergeant and Staff Sergeant chastised me and told me that only I was to be written up for telling my fellow soldier to “go to hell” as he was holding a steel bar to my head. My Staff Sergeant then made me pull several consecutive 24-hour duty shifts with no sleep, despite the Army regulation stating that in the field (non-combat zone), a soldier is to be granted a minimum of 4-hours sleep or rest. Then, with at least 10 other well rested soldiers in my platoon, my Staff Sergeant gave me the illegal order to drive a 5-ton-military-truck through icy, winter weather conditioned German civilian roads, despite two other Army regulations prohibiting me from doing so: (a) certification to operate said vehicle, and (b) a minimum of 6-hours of sleep to operate said vehicle (field training, non-combat zone). I had neither the certification nor the required sleep. I disobeyed the illegal order. I was commended for my good deeds by the sitting U.S. President and ordered a hearing for my VA benefits by the White House. In short, all that I did was not what Denis E. Guyer falsely told the people of the Pittsfield area was all that I did.
In response to Denis Guyer’s campaign worker, Peter Marchetti’s slander of me concerning my maternal grandmother. In the late winter, early-Spring of 2004, I answered my grandma’s telephone and a nurse apprised me that my grandmother’s diabetic blood sugar level as above a 600 level reading. Normal blood sugar ranges between 60 – 120. If my grandmother’s blood sugar went any higher, then she would suffer health complications, including possible death. I told my then 94-year-old grandmother I had to take her to the hospital to save her life. She ran to her room. I called my Aunts in neighboring Lanesboro and left a message explaining the situation. My estranged Aunt from Connecticut rudely came to the house, and we put aside our differences, and I helped get me grandmother into my Aunt’s car, and my Aunt took my Grandmother to the hospital. My grandmother’s diabetes was regulated, and she is now a healthy 98-year-old woman living with my Uncle in Rhode Island. Denis Guyer left out the piece of me saving my grandmother’s life, of course. After my grandmother wanted her independence back after I helped her recover from her illnesses, she asked me to leave. I had the option of living in the Berkshires, but I chose instead to live with my family in New Hampshire from April 7, 2004 through present day 2008.
Looking back on things now, I see that I was not meant to live in or around Berkshire County. I have too many political enemies there. I am happy to be able to write about these events, however, because I don’t believe people should get away with making someone out to be a bad person without filling in the picture with the rest of the story. I hope my dad is not retaliated against again by Pittsfield’s powerbrokers. That is not my intent. If I left out what they tried to do against me dad, how would I be able to tell my story about what they tried to do against me? Without the full context, people would only say, this guy seeks abuse, or the like. But, now the whole story is told, and I am happy to tell it! Please don’t hurt my dad anymore. Please stop slandering me.
In Truth,
Jonathan A. Melle

Dear Glenn Heller, the People, the News Media, & Pols:
I do see Glenn Heller's point, below, on the connection between the Democrat Party and the caliber of politicians that party attracts!
It has been made clear to me over the past decade that powerful people in Massachusetts Politics want to HURT me!
Glenn Heller is correct to state that all of the people whom I write about are in fact "Liberal" DEMOCRATS who are all very entrenched in political power in Massachusetts.
It is like me waking up this morning and seeing a big zit on my face. That was not something I wanted to look at, but it was there.
I don't know what to do, Glenn!
Carmen C. Massimiano, Jr. told me not to feel safe in NH after I left the Pittsfield area. Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr. wants to run for U.S. Congress without my interference. Denis E. Guyer wants people to believe his slander against me, such as that I belong in a psychiatric institution, and that I am some sort of a threat to women and society.
I have even been told that I will never find a job in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
I am a MISFIT! I am a politically persecuted man! I am a contradiction in terms!
Best regards,
Jonathan Alan Melle

Mr. Melle,
You continually claim that you and members of your family have suffered, or fear suffering, at the hands of a whole list of State and local elected officials. I don't doubt your version of events, but I cannot help but observe that all these people you rail against are self-professed Liberal Democrats. Every single politician about whom you complain is a loyal member of the Democrat Party power apparatus that runs Massachusetts and that for decades has been entrenched in power.
Therefore, why do you continue to support the party (and its professed 'principles') of people that hurt and harass you and your family?
Don't you see the connection between the Democrat Party and the caliber of politicians that party attracts?
Yours truly,
Glenn M. Heller, editor

Dear Denis E. Guyer:
This is the last email I will ever send you.
I understand that I am supposed to react to all of the dirty politics of Andrea Nuciforo II, and the like. I understand that the rumors you spread about me are to bait me into reacting to the layers of bullying placed upon me since I have been nearly 21-years-old in May of 1996 when I first met "Luciforo" when my dad successfully ran for Berkshire County Commissioner. I understand what I am expected to do with all of this.
I have learned whom not to be in my life of 32.5 years and counting. I am not going to take the bait you and those you have colluded with against me by telling people such terrible things about me. The things you have said have gotten to me and the dirty politics have taken its toll on me. However, my response is to live at my own level of dignity and be myself, not someone else.
I am not a pawn in a chess board. I am not the bait. You have lost!
In eternal silence to you forever more,
Jonathan A. Melle

Dear News Media, Pols, & the People:
Denis Guyer is, INDEED, part of a group of people who have persecuted me, along with my dad, for participating in local (Western Massachusetts) and state (Beacon Hill) politics. He colluded with Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., and others like him to spread TERRIBLE, slanderous rumors about me to the people of the Pittsfield area.
Denis Guyer's July 23, 2005, publicly stated slanderous rumor against me that "All Jonathan Melle ever did was stalk a Jewish Woman from Otis [Massachusetts]" may very well have been a set up from the get go. I worked with a then young-woman from Becket at a Massachusetts State Park during the Summer of 1996. This woman's father was a professor at Berkshire Community College, which Nuciforo's maternal side of the family ran: The Wojtkowski's. Former-Pittsfield Mayor Anne E. Wojtkowski is Andrea Nuciforo's Aunt. Someone close to these corrupt career Pittsfield politicians put this woman's father up to harassing me through his daughter. My relationship with this woman was a manipulation and by the design of the Nuciforo's and their political machine. This woman's father got job security in exchange for bullying me.
Finally, in late-September through early-October of 1999, the dispute between this woman with her abusive father and I went before the Massachusetts State Police at the Berkshire County District Attorney's Office, after I apprised authorities of the problematic and long-standing situation. An investigation was done, and the resolve was that if they contacted me they would be arrested and vice-versa. However, no one ever suspected foul play by dirty politics. The day after I met with the Massachusetts State Police, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and honorably served our nation, resulting in President George W. Bush ordering me a hearing before the Board of Veterans Appeals one city block from The White House on July 19, 2004. I protected human lives in the U.S. Army by disobeying illegal and immoral orders. My VA case is still pending going on nearly 7-years. In mid-July 2002, the woman I worked with 6 summers prior was married. I have not heard anything about her since, other than her mother retired from teaching in June 2004, and her younger sister was married later that summer of 2004, by which I have had moved to Southern New Hampshire to live with my family. I still live in Southern NH today.
Between my summer job with the Becket woman and the termination of our difficult relationship, Nuciforo, et al, tried to get my dad in big trouble by taking a news article published in October 1997 in The North Adams Transcript newspaper and using it to (a) complain to my dad's boss in Boston that he was insubordinate, and (b) issue a formal complaint against my dad to the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission. My dad would have (a) lost his state job -and thereby state pension- that he worked in since December 1970, and (b) been forced to resign his elected position as Berkshire County Commissioner. During this same time period -the Spring of 1998-, Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., set up secretive plans with the Pittsfield Police Department to have me arrested on the false pretenses that I was threatening him after Nuciforo had previously threatened me twice.
It was during the Spring of 1998 -nearly ten years ago- that I have been having struggles with Anxiety and its related symptoms of depression. At that time, I almost failed out of graduate school at U Mass Amherst, where Nuciforo's ally State Senator Stan Rosenberg had two of his legislative interns harass me (sounds familiar?). At any rate, as time progressed, the picture became bigger, wider and clearer: Nuciforo was trying to hurt me through a manipulated system designed on layered bullying.
When Denis E. Guyer thought he could be the next in line to harass me and bring up to a wide Pittsfield audience a woman whom I had a friendship-only past relationship with, the response was predictable. Everyone was to believe that I am a disturbed, abusive and dangerous man, and stalking someone is just something that "Jon Melle" would do. The interesting thing, sort of like when the media attacks Chelsea Clinton, is that people defended me instead of the powerful interests. People saw me as young, as I was only 20 when I met this woman in 1996. People saw me as vulnerable. People told me that Denis E. Guyer was TERRIBLE and they were troubled as to why he would do this sort of thing.
I have been through "Hell" because of Nuciforo and his fellow powerbrokers in local and state government politics. Things could have been tragic for me and my family. It has been this way for me since I first met Nuciforo in May 1996 at a Democratic Party forum where my dad spoke with Congressman Olver, Nuciforo, Ed Reilly, Pat Carlino, and other candidates. I should not be held to Denis E. Guyer's criticisms of me, especially when he is just an opportunist who centers his life around MONEY and POWER.
I am glad my dad was both able to stay in his elected office and never fired from his state job and retired with a full pension in early-2002. I am happy for my woman-friend from the summer of 1996 for getting married in the summer of 2002. I hope she is living a happy and healthy life with her partner. I am happy I pulled my grades back up at U Mass and received my Master's Degree in Public Administration after graduating cum laude from Siena College with a B.A. in Political Science. I am happy I served my nation with honor, received ribbons and other awards, and the U.S. President sent me his regards with an order for me to receive my Veterans Benefits.
I HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF IN MY LIFE. My dad is doing well. My mom is recovering well. My family is healthy and happy. I have accomplished many positive achievements. I am respected!
In Truth,
Jonathan A. Melle

Representative Guyer
Dear Jonathan,
You will be back.
You sent a similar "last email" about four years ago to me. I think it was six months before you were writing about me again. Not that you will believe this, but I actually go months and months without thinking about you. These periods are only broken when someone sends me your latest wild, paranoid bloggings about me. I sort of laugh about them( you should know-EVERYONE laughs about them) and go back to what I was doing again- not thinking about you- and working for the people who elected me.
I think you see yourself as more significant in my life (and the lives of others) than you are, or ever could be. I mean, ask yourself...why would I, or anyone else for that matter spend any free time even thinking about you? I have better things to do with my time.
I hope you are moving on with your life, but I realy doubt that you can-or you will allow yourself to. You have been (by your own admission) fighting this imaginary fight since you were twenty-one and you are now "32.5".That's a long time to be caught up in a fantasy. Good luck trying to break the 11.5 year habit, I don't think you can and 32.5 will become 42.5 and then 52.5 and on and on.Someday you will look back on your life realizing you accomplished little else than putting together a really nasty blog about some people who could've cared less about you. Now there's something to be proud of!
Your rantings about me and others is what makes you feel self important and must give you a great deal of satisfaction.
Imagine my satisfaction though in knowing that your efforts, blogging about me, have actually resulted in more traffic to my website and even a donation to my campaign fund!! What a wonderful irony.
Anyway, I would say goodbye, but I somehow think Jonathan that I will be hearing from you again......and soon.
Get A Life,
Denis

JONATHAN MELLE's STAND AGAINST NUCIFORO
Written on September 27, 2004
My story about Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., (Luciforo), which I hope to tell for years upon years, decades upon decades, and I hope someday will be told for eternity, is that during the Spring of 1998 he secretly tried to have me arrested by the Pittsfield Police without Nuciforo telling either me or my father, with whom he had communicated with at that time on an almost weekly basis. Nuciforo lied to the police by telling them that I was threatening him.
At the North Adams, Massachusetts, Fall Foliage Parade, it was Nuciforo (with his then-legislative aide Sara Hathaway at his side) who confronted me in a hostile manner in the Fall of 1997. Luckily, I had my cousin and Uncle, the latter of whom was visiting North Adams from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., at my two sides and after he sized the three (3) of us up (even though I looked down at the ground in panic), he with Hathaway quickly walked away from us in fear for himself (as my family members protected me against Nuciforo by stepping in front of me. I felt like I was the President with Secret Service protection). I could not believe what had taken place. Here, the Berkshire State Senator was marching in a parade with many potential witnesses, and he tried to get in my face without cause.
At this point in the story, I think it is important to note that my dad, Bob Melle of Becket, was elected to the then Berkshire County Commission along side with then Berkshire County Commissioners William “Smitty” Pignatelli of Lenox and Ronald Kitterman of Pittsfield. My dad and I, among others, took a stand against then Governor William F. Weld’s ultimately successful proposal to abolish Berkshire County Government and for the state to take over its functions under the premise that centralization in big government or big business makes for a bigger economy of scale, reduces waste and increases economic efficiency. Nuciforo, as state Senator, concurred with then Governor Weld’s arguments that economic efficiency under the model of corporate governance is the end all of big government initiatives and that an abolished rural county government under the administrative prowess of the state would serve the People best as a “1-800” number to the citizens instead of actual human beings and representatives. Indeed, centralized bureaucracy won the day under Bill Weld, Andrea Nuciforo and other top-down state government officials. My dad and I, together and respectively, had a more organic view of government. We believed that we are a government “Of the People, By the People and For the People.” We believed that this process needed to include a lot more input by Berkshire County residents and the thirty-two (32) cities and towns. My dad and I wanted more representation, not less, and we did not want government in any way, shape or form that represented “bureaucracy” in the form of a “1-800” number in the name of corporate styled economic efficiency model. I still believe in the position that my dad and I took. Now, back to the story at hand…
Earlier that summer in August of 1997, I attended a promotional ceremony at the Berkshire County Court-House for now Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) Justice Francis X. Spina, who is a native of Pittsfield, Massachusetts (like my dad and I and many other proud Pittsfield natives). My dad and I were socializing with the public after the ceremony, and Nuciforo looked over at me with a stare that would have intimidated the President himself, nonetheless myself.
But little did Nuciforo know during those times that I have the deepest love of my country and devotion to God, and Nuciforo also did not know that I do know and believe that I am an American Citizen with U.S. Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties and that I will always speak my good conscience as long as I live: GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!
At the time, Nuciforo thought that there were coercive ways that he could intimidate me. But because of my strong beliefs in the USA (my country), Freedom and Liberty, I would not respond in kind to his intimidation. Therefore, Nuciforo decided that he would get to me through the system. Nuciforo decided to bad mouth me to other politicians, namely U.S. Congressman John Olver, State Senator Stan Rosenberg, State Representatives Dan Bosley and Peter Larkin, among others, including North Adams Mayor John Barrett III, who told me that people said that I am “flaky” and that I did not have what it takes to make it in the real world (I still think Mayor Barrett is a good man, however). Most importantly, Nuciforo tried to get to me through the system via false reports to the police, which I understand made him look real bad to the police.
Nuciforo tries to act cocky around me when I see him at events. But what Nuciforo may not yet realize is that I do indeed love my country and I believe in God. No amount of coercion, ostracism, money or false morality will change my views, beliefs or actions. I know who I am and whom I support.
I attended Dawn Taylor Thompson’s two (2) political events in Pittsfield, Massachusetts on Thursday, September 23rd, 2004. I was impressed by her advocacy for public safety and the guest speaker’s similar comments. As a long-term vocal critic of state Senator Andrea F. Nuciforo II, I must disagree with the UNETHICAL eight (8) year Boston corporate banking lawyer/lobbyist’s – under the false pretense of a Berkshire Senator — negating criticisms of his opponent’s efficacious advocacy for public safety and likewise criticism of Nuciforo’s poor record on these life and death issues.
Dawn’s accurate criticisms of Nuciforo’s sole opposition to the all felon DNA Database in the Spring and Summer of 2003 must be put in the framework of a human perspective on the issue. A young 16-year old woman named Molly Bish was brutally raped and murdered in late June 2000. Her grieving parents went to Beacon Hill in the name of their late daughter and other victimized youth to ask lawmakers to put into law the proper public safety apparatuses to catch rapist, murders and perpetrators of violence against our youth, especially young woman.
In the midst of the Bish family’s requests for legal reforms for public safety, there was an inhumane state Senator from nowhere else than Pittsfield, Massachusetts who stood up against their every request. This person was none other than Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr. While other lawmakers rushed to the Bish family’s side, including Pittsfield State Rep. Peter Larkin and newly elected Lenox State Rep. “Smitty” Pignatelli, Nuciforo decided to make a stand for “civil liberties” without apologies or any empathy whatsoever to the Bish family.
On public safety, I do know and believe that she would have taken a human look at the issues the Bish family was fighting for last year. Dawn would have told Molly Bish’s parents, siblings and community members that she cares about their situation and is sorry that such a crime took place against a 16-year old girl with her whole life still ahead of her. Dawn may have taken alternative points of view different from the Bish’s, but I know Dawn and I know she would have done so with compassion and for the public good.
While I agree with Nuciforo that we live in the age of a FASCIST U.S. Attorney General (John Ashcroft) who has nullified the U.S. Constitution in terms of the First Amendment’s Freedoms of Speech and Religion and also the Double Jeopardy clause in the same Bill of Rights, I personally have been a victim of Nuciforo’s own authoritarian actions (and so has my father).
Given the situations that I have been through with Nuciforo and the unspoken ones only I know that my father has been through with him where I will say both our rights and civil liberties were respectively nullified via Nuciforo’s intimidation and corruption of the system against my dad and I during the same time period, I see Nuciforo as disingenuous, malicious and unfair.
Artificial and banal politicians such as Nuciforo and states such as the former-U.S.S.R. do not last forever. Alluding to John Ashcroft is a point where I am in concurrence with Nuciforo, but that is where we meet and diverge. For Nuciforo is just as fake as Ashcroft, and the more and more the People see authoritarian politicians and states that corrupt other people and systems, the weaker and weaker those bad guys and evil states become.
I believe that someday that Stan Rosenberg and I will have a beer together. That Denis Guyer and I will work for forward looking reforms together. That Mayor Barrett and I will celebrate North Adams together. But I know that that day will come when Nuciforo is a private citizen and no longer exercises his all-or-nothing corrupting influence for his own UNETHICAL personal gain.
When the time is right, I will work to solidly oppose Nuciforo and other corrupt politicians and immoral states like him. I will work in an ETHICAL way with the People, News Media and Politicians for the good goals of truth, justice and the American way! My work will not be for my own personal gain, but as a member of team that collectively works under Liberty and God for the common good of humanity.

Re: The terrible truth about "Luciforo" & Denis E "Golddigger" Guyer!
Denis E Guyer is part of a network of Pittsfield area politicians and cronies who have used me as bait to get to my father for his then-outspoken voice in state and local politics in Pittsfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. The events Denis Guyer refers to were ALL manipulated by this "local political network" from day one. The episodes of the "Jewish woman from Otis" and her (BCC professor) father's abusive threats against me were ALL manipulations by Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., et al, via his maternal side of the family who ran Berkshire Community College.
Conspiratorially, I blame "Luciforo" for coercing the "Jewish woman’s" father for this entirely abusive situation. This woman’s father was a professor at Berkshire Community College in PITTSFIELD! Nuciforo’s maternal side of his family ran BCC, including Anne E. Wojtkowski, who is “Luciforo’s” Aunt and a former Mayor of Pittsfield. I believe someone connected to Nuciforo in PITTSFIELD put this woman’s father up to harassing me. If this conspiracy is true, it fits into all of the other negative Pittsfield scenarios. To be clear, the BCC professor's job security at BCC directly related to his abusive mistreatment of me!
-Jonathan Melle
P.S. "Luciforo's" M.O. is manipulating negative events without leaving his finger-prints behind so there is no evidence of his evil political deeds.

Re: Denis E Guyer: True or FALSE!
Hi, Denis E Guyer!
You are such a nice guy! You have said such nice things about me over the past 4+ years! You took the time to respond to the letter my mother sent to you about how you have been towards me. You declined to be part of "Luciforo's" political network of mean-spiritedness, corruption and special interests. AND... You never took your two pay raises in your past two terms as Dalton's State Representative on Beacon Hill's State House! AND, of course, Pigs also have wings and fly, unicorns dance around the fields of plentiful harvests, and Santa Claus is hard at work preparing for Christmas because so many people are out of luck.

Re: Denis E Guyer: ALL LIES!
Oh, please! I am taking the low road. The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it! That is pure propaganda! DENIS E GUYER has done nothing more than SLANDER me with the most vicious, hate-filled, racists, mean-spirited rumors for the past 4+ years now. He has used terrible words that have demeaned women, ethnic minorities --especially the Jewish people, and my family. Now he is saying that I want him to take the low road. That is so dishonest of Denis E Guyer! Furthermore, Denis E Guyer knows that the Lt Governor called him today because he is married to the Billionaire Crane Family that hosts campaign parties for John Forbes Kerry and Deval Patrick with contributions that total more than the average families home value. You Denis Guyer apologists are either FOOLS or totally snowed in!

Re: Denis E Guyer: "Luciforo!"
Denis! We were FRIENDS! We attended political events together. We talked on the telephone. We signed each others nomination papers. We shared laughs and hand-shakes. You affirmed me by telling me to give "Luciforo", Larkin and Shaun Kelly hell for their terrible leadership in state and local government. THEN, YOU TURNED ON ME, Denis, NOT the other way around. You joined "Luciforo's" evil network of mean-spiritedness, corruption and special interests and you proved yourself to "Luciforo" by SLANDERING me with vicious, hate-filled, untrue rumors that have HURT PEOPLE, including my family. Should NOT you want to make a truce with me, at least for your own sake. We should apologize to each other and resolve this destructive conflict between us by calling a spade a spade and telling the World how evil and manipulative Andrea F. Nuciforo, Jr., was, is and always will be towards me, my dad, my family and friends -- past and present. Denis, please go back to the good man you once were and put "Luciforo" into his place for the sake of being a good man, which is something "Luciforo" will never be. Come back to me, Denis, if for nothing else, your own good, self-respect and peace of mind.

Re: Denis E Guyer: Persecutor!
Denis! I have been through this persecution via "Luciforo's" layered bullying of me for nearly 12.5-years now. What you don't understand is when the same small-town network does what you did, indeed, do to me, it has become completely predictable and obvious to me after so many painful years of this mean-spiritedness. Redundantly writing, "Luciforo" tried to have my dad fired from his then-job of several dedicated decades, while at the same time trying to Jail me based on false police reports (Spring 1998). "Luciforo" has used a then-BCC professor and his young woman daughter -- whom I once had feelings for (Summer 1996) -- to entrap me into an abusive situation in return for this man's job security at BCC, which "Luciforo's" maternal side of the family ran: Wojtkowski's. "Luciforo's" insidious network blacklisted me, terminated my employment opportunities, and entrapped me into a Twilight Zone world where people think I am insane or paranoid. Denis, you were just the next guy in a long, long line of "Luciforo's" persecutors.

Re: Is Jonathan Melle insane? Here is my answer...
Re: "just noticed": "Is Melle insane?" -
The questioning of my mental health is exactly what the political conspiracy is. I have been living with this conspiratorial entrapment for about the past 12.5-years of my life due to a terrible conspiracy orchestrated by Pittsfield area politicians all connected to Andrea F. Nuciforo II's (aka "Luciforo") local political network. Denis E Guyer is only the last in a long, long, long line of "Luciforo's" layered bullying of me. If I am still sane after all of the abuse I have witnessed and taken then I must be very resilient.

Re: How "Luciforo's" insidious entrapment of me is going to go down...
When "Luciforo" makes a run for U.S. Congress in Western Massachusetts (U.S. Representative John W. Olver' current reshaped sprawling legislative district), he is going to have a group of state and local politicians, whom I have written against via email, letters and blog postings, sue me for libel and other false charges in court. I have no doubt about my projection. "Luciforo", who already unsuccessfully tried to jail me while at the same time launching multiple "ethics" investigations against my dad to attempt to ruin his career (Spring 1998), will use Denis E Guyer and the like (definitely Carmen Massimiano, and possibly Daniel Bosley or Stan Rosenberg -- if Stan defers to "Luciforo", et al) to take me to court for my writings against all of them. Remember please, when it comes to politics, the courts are often predetermined in favor of the powerful and against the powerless. That means that I am in a grace period where I am able to seem "unstable" or "insane" to the average observer, while those who care about me can sharpen their focus and they will be prepared for the inevitable PERSECUTION of me so that "Luciforo" can represent his insurance company friends and lobbyists on Capitol Hill in U.S. Congress and reward all of his minions with political plums and campaign donations and the like. Boy, I cannot wait for this day to come so that the good people, such as my FAVORITE journalist EVER, Mary E Carey, can defend me and tell the World about what Pittsfield's political prince of darkness has done, is doing, and will do to me for the politics of corruption and special interests.

Re: The "Luciforo" conspiracy...Starring Denis E Guyer...
11/1/2008
Don't you get it? I was/am the bait for "Luciforo" to ruin my dad's life. When "Luciforo" began his layered bullying of me in May 1996, I was only secondary to "Luciforo's" persecution of my dad via his multiple ethics complaints against my dad two years later. This is all a CONSPIRACY! I am NOT insane. I, like you, believe my dad is a good man. I tell my dad that he is a good man, while I also tell my dad that "Luciforo" is a bad man for what he did to both of us. I just wish you would wrap your collective heads around this complex situation where I am a victim of "Luciforo's" dirty politics. All that I want from Denis E Guyer is (a) to admit to the terrible things he said about me and that he will change from his fascist ideology to believing in Human Rights for ALL, and Peoples (b) to please admit that "Luciforo" and his warped political network put him, along with the many other "Luciforo" henchmen, up to slandering me with vicious, anti-semetic, hate-filled and discriminatory rumors that could have incited violence, harm and other damages, if I was not such a good person and chose to handle this situation, among related events, differently. I am the one who is choosing peace and justice!

"BCC grads look ahead"
By Benning W. De La Mater, Berkshire Eagle Staff, Saturday, May 30, 2009
LENOX — Maybe it's not the best time to be entering the workforce, but tough times call for creative thinkers.
That was the message to the graduating class of Berkshire Community College during Friday's 49th commencement ceremony inside the Serge Koussevitzky Music Shed at Tanglewood.
State Sen. Benjamin B. Downing, D-Pittsfield, an alumnus of the two-year school, said the 255 degree and 55 certificate recipients should feel lucky to be finishing their BCC education amid the current recession and with unemployment spiking. These are the times when innovators make their mark.
"The old ways of doing business are being questioned," Downing said. "You all have the opportunity to contribute new ideas. You have the ability to shape and change your communities."
Most of the graduates, a mix of 146 associates of science and 109 associates of art, will go on to four-year schools. Jeff Doscher, dean of institutional advancement at BCC, said the three most popular schools favored by BCC students are University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Westfield State College.
The majority of the grads majored in business, nursing, criminal justice and liberal arts.
While this year's graduating class is average in size, Doscher said there is a 20 percent increase in applications for the fall, a jump that school officials believe is due to increases made to the Pell Grant system.
"With the economy the way it is and the rising cost of private colleges, students and parents are looking at the state colleges more often," Doscher said.
Mayor James M. Ruberto called on the graduates to be "engaged citizens."
"You are the heroes of the day," he said. "The best educational experience is the one you already received."
Keynote speaker Dr. Marcella Wojtkowski Bradway, a 1985 BCC grad, was recently hired by Berkshire Medical Center. She is the first woman to join the hospital's Surgery Department.
Her father, Thomas Wojtkowski, was a state politician and crafted legislation that created the state's community college system. Her mother, Anne E. Wojtkowksi, was a longtime BCC professor and became the city's first woman mayor in 1987.
Bradway told the crowd that she used to take naps in her mother's office. When she first took classes at BCC, she had no idea what she wanted to do.
"Don't let the fear of change paralyze you," she said. "Be open to the possibilities. The details? You'll figure those out along the way."
Co-valedictorian Kimberly A. Gritman, a Taconic High School graduate and a theater major, told her fellow grads that curiosity is one of human kind's greatest traits.
"You should have a whole catalogue to draw upon," she said.
Co-valedictorian Michelle M. Loubert, 51, of Great Barrington, went back to school to get an associates in liberal arts. She said working alongside her younger peers during all-night study sessions, she learned that "Red Bull really does give you wings."
"I represent the timelessness factor of education," she said. "There's always room to learn more. Personal growth is not stamped with an expiration date."

Tom is "Luciforo's" uncle and Anne is his aunt-in-law. Via "Luciforo" & the Wojtkowski's Pittsfield political family, I was victimized by many years of layered bullying and persecutions of my family.
BCC is only about these guys, NOT higher eduction!
