COGers Have Crossed The Line Into CRIME

Just days before the Open Meeting of the Voters, scheduled by the Council, irregardless to the illegal and invalid COG petition asking for one, the COGers have thrown themselves into the moral debate once again.

This time, the COGers' philosophy of attacking any/all public officials not named Greg Milne in any way possible has backfired on them. In the process of trying to attack the character of Town Council President Janet Joakim, the COGers posted a photo of an unedited personal check attributed to Councilor Joakim on a number of blog sites (including the one STILL written by Gary Lopez). This photo contained the full account and routing numbers for Joakim's personal bank account, a copy of her signature, and her address and phone number.

Any identity thief (or ANYONE really) trolling the internet may have found their "payday" with the wealth of info provided by the COGers. The COGers who have posted the check are either identity thieves or accessories to the crime. This is a serious matter.

If they had blocked out the extremely sensitive personal info (bank account & routing numbers) contained on this check, it would not be a huge deal, but providing this type of information is a REAL CRIME! They routinely complain about the "crimes" and "injustice" in this time, but now EVERYONE in town should know that the COGers are the REAL criminals in Barnstable.

It is one thing for the COGers to participate in the despicable practice of providing the personal HOME and CELL numbers for various public officials, and then calling them at all hours of the day. Public officials have official PROVIDED means of contact - work phone numbers, work email addresses, offices, etc... that we can reach them at, if we want to. Providing to the masses personal numbers that they have not given out for public consumption is bad enough, but actually providing PERSONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION for Town officials in not just despicable - IT IS A CRIME.

I hope that these disturbing people get punished for this deed. Town residents pay attention - Do you REALLY want to support this kind of people - Criminals who will do ANYTHING to attack the people that they do not like?

Get real. Janet Joakim is the criminal here, and if she has to go to the trouble of closing her bank account because she is a deadbeat, then Karma rules.

Checks get passed all over the place. Joakim does not have a private address or phone number, they are on her website, along with her cell number and pictures of her kids. Her signature can be found all over public documents, and routing and account numbers alone do not provide enough information to truly compromise a bank account. It seems you would find a way to find her innocent of just about anything. You have lost all credibility with this crap.

Checks are the responsiblity of the recipient. Posting this kind of information violates fed laws.
The guy who gave her the check has responsibilty too but thoman and lopez should be held accountable.

This kind of abuse, the personal attacks are outrageous.

Lets hope the authorities are paying attention to this latest attack.

Joakim set the standard for local blogging with her personal attacks from the first day of her seven villages blog. She is getting a taste of her own medicine and does not like it. Joakim is the only criminal in this story.

I looked at that blog and only see someone who was defending herself when she was dealing with a recall attempt. I don't see anything about a kid or whatever.
What the heck is that all about?

Who are these people and why do we let them batter our public officials like this?

They are a small minority with equally small minds. The "Kid" as you asked has been offered up many times as a way of setting people up. Has not worked but has been used to the point that it is no longer looked upon with any validity.

Reports from the MSPCC show plenty of validity to the injuries to the child, who is still being treated, thanks to the interference of a settled neighbor dispute by Janet Joakim, village idiot.
