The Truth! 6 past Steering Committee members join 60 owners in signing (growing) our Homeowners Declaration!

VE OWNERS ARE WAKING UP AND TIRED OF THE LIES, DECEPTIONS AND DEFLECTIONS OF THIS SC!  The Truth is there for all to see!  Ask them yourself the questions on our new blog! They Refuse!

Just what are the REAL reasons, that again, for the second time in two years, the unelected members of the “steering committee” have declared war on the desires of the majority of VE homeowners? 

We the owners were forced to create a separate communication center so we could insure each of us owners who have an opinion, have a place to express it without the SC’s control mechanisms of attack, lie, destroy and deflect away from the truth.  Well 60 owners as of this writing are seeing the light along with 6 previous SC members who see thru the band of deceptions. We want our community back.  Period, No other Agenda!

The last time they pushed their plan for a “ hostile takeover” of the resort, the goal was to “bankrupt” the developer.  Real smart, destroy the developer, which destroys the resort and leaves so many of us without the amenities we dearly enjoy! Did anybody ask you to buy into this plan?  Not me.

  One member was quoted saying that  “my mission is to keep the Panamanians out of our Valle.”  OUTRAGEOUS!  Recorded fact!

For the recent owners, this “destroy tactic” has been tried before with a consortium of the same guys who already failed against the wishes/votes of the majority.  They hired an “advisor” and incurred professional fees that together cost the VEHOA an amount approaching $100,000!  We, the owners GOT ABOLSUTELY NOTHING for this private agenda!  Their current flock of follies just jump onboard to the new destroy tactic’s at our expense.   DESPICABLE!

One of the assets the developer owns is the majority of the shares of Boquete Consulting Company, the security company that was contracted by VEHOA to provide security.

It was the desire of the steering committee to sign a new contract with another company in an attempt to financially hurt her and again try to put her out of business.  A backlash from the majority and the fact that BCS came in at a bid that was less than the other bids prevented this from happening.

 Now, a new group of SC members (appointed not elected), are doing the same. It is my guess that the majority of these new members believe that their intentions are just, but have swallowed the same kool- aid provided over the years by their puppet masters.  It is apparent that they do not engage in any debate over the matters. Just attack and destroy anyone who might offer a different view or solution. Their method is to demonize and call names, destroy opposition.

  Just look at what they have recently done to Mark Schneider. Read the contemptible diatribe recently printed in the VEHOA blog and sent to all owners about Mark. What a horrible attack.  What is it that Mark has done to deserve this?  Could it be that he actually has engaged with the developer over the conveyance of the infrastructure?  Could it be that he actually shows the developer respect rather than the contemptible treatment she has had to endure? Oh, he wants to buy the resort, smart move attacking him if he did. I can assure you Mark’s agenda is 100% consistent with the recent 60 owners who signed the new Owners declaration many of us were involved in writing. Are you aware he has the largest investment in VE and wants to protect it just like other VE homeowners joined to protect theirs.

It’s real simple; We want the voting HOA to be 1^st in line of wishes and outcomes in VE and the SC to implement our majority wishes.  We want a SC to be limited in their ability to hurt or negatively impact our community in value and appeal.  We want a SC to be 100% responsible for any legal fees or judgments awarded due to their careless or reckless behaviors without the homeowner’s say so.  This is not a fascist community, but they have it controlled by 7 or fewer owners (that we are aware).   So I challenge each homeowner; Email the SC directly and copy their response to you to each of us.  Simply ask them to answer all the questions on the new community blog    http://veneighbors.blogspot.com/   To date they ignore answering any of us. Why? All questions are very reasonable questions that impact each homeowner in VE. 

The treatment of our neighbor and head of security, Ralf Henrich, is also beyond contempt.
Ralf is ANGRY, just as I am.  Consider how he has been treated recently. They have done everything possible to destroy him, his business and reputation with impunity.  I only hope there are not further lawsuits against us due to their lies and defamation’s against Ralf.

A contract signed by the Board of Directors, one reviewed and altered by Bill Day, has been breeched now for four months.  Remember their admitted technique, CUT OFF THE INCOME STREAM!  They have used three different reasons for cancelling the contract.  Neither of which will withstand the coming lawsuit.  It is a proven fact as I have been forced to review all the documents that this SC and advisors flat out lied.  These lies could very well cost us big legal fees and judgments due to slander and defamation.  I never made these statements, did you?  Then why should we pay for the legal fees?

Reason #1: a dispute over the rate increase.  They could have sat down with the company officers and discussed the complaint or attended a meeting where Ralf presented the truth with documents that proved that reason wrong. BUT THAT IS NOT THE REAL REASON.

Reason #2: BCS was operating illegally.  Proved to be false.  All documents were shown at the Friday, July 18 meeting and available for review if requested. BUT THE STEERING COMMITTEE REFUSED TO ATTEND USING AGAIN THE LIE OF A RESTRAINING ORDER. AS OF JULY 26, 2014 THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST RALF HENRICH!

Reason #3:  Because Lic. Hector Bonilla advised several homeowners of an attempt to coerce BSC to accept a bonus of $22,000 in addition to the payments past due, if they would drop all law suits and “walk away” from the contract.    Again beyond believe that a “steering committee” that purports to represent the homeowners is upset at and is vilifying a Panamanian attorney who represents many homeowners, in writing, for alerting us of the actions of said committee. And now Olga states “there was no offer because it was not accepted.”  

If the steering committee desires to sign with a different security company would not it benefit the homeowners to wait until 90 days before the expiration of the current valid contract to begin to evaluate and receive bids for a new one.  Not only would that be the legal method it would also allow the Homeowners to vote on it. Have we the homeowners been provided an apples to apples comparison for security services provided demonstrating the “significant savings”?

Repeating LIES over and over and over does not make them true.  The method worked for Jos Goebbels but I do not believe it will work in VE.     We are neighbors, living in an incredibly beautiful Valle, thanks specifically to Sam and Thalia.  We should work as neighbors to finish what was left undone.   It is quite obvious that Sr. Federico and Thalia will not be negotiating with the current Steering committee.  The question each of us should ask, this is unpaid position, why are they holding on and staying in these positions and creating so much hatred and disharmony in VE? If they do not like it here, why not sell their homes and move to greener pastures. I think they should stop the battle and step down.

Oh, if they deflect again and spin this against me, well, owners are now laughing at their desperate tactics! They need to stop with all the deflections and answer our questions.

Still angry,
