The below was sent to me by a reader. Note Able’s 2021 post was on Mike Matejka’s group: Not In Our Town.
If you stop by the NIOT Facebook page, it claims they exist to: stop hate, address bullying and build a safe, inclusive community.
That isn’t true since nothing is posted about Derek Lopez’s arrest. The ISU Young Republicans don’t deserve to be safe? They don’t deserve to not have a bully overturn their tables? Be free from hate?
Are you frauds Mike? Need some help Mike? https://blnnews.com/2025/10/18/isu-ta-attacks-turning-point-table-twice/
“Inclusive” must mean every leftist is welcome, nobody else.
Anyone who signs their “pledge” card in the future is as guilty as Mike. NIOT Board member Mollie Ward: Are you a fraud too?
.
The reader who sent this to me compiled a list of available free books, you have to click around on that Google Drive to find them. Antifa has a handbook? Hasn’t the left been saying ANTIFA isn’t organized? 🤣
.
On one of the pages is a whole listing on Early American Marxists. Probably Krystle’s favorite, but Marx didn’t have the luxury of getting paid for not showing up for a job like she does. He just sponged off anyone he could.
.
Pick a side.
You know what else the NIOT frauds don’t care about? The broken Menorah on Linden across from the police station.
What a bunch of hypocrites, why would any public official sign their pledge card, NIOT? oh yes! those officials have the same leftist headset!
The NIOT group was a joke. I was there in 2024 at the Bloomington downtown when they announced their commitment to stopping ALL hate and bullying on against both sides.
I fully committed to stopping bullies, hate, harassment, and oppression of any type whether through the NIOT or on my own.
I even sent multiple screenshots soon after the event that I received from the Krystle Able/WGLT looney fan club that even included sexual and physical violence against my wife.
Any response? Any action? Any press release? None. In fact at the following WGLT “sponsored” candidates event, open to the public. Where I was a Township Supervisor Candidate was asked to leave while helping setup the tables for the other township Trustees, prior To the opening. Since I had chosen to openly not support the WGLT’s propaganda news coverage and editing including their horrible reporting of the Trump Campaign and local officials caught up in scandals.
The WGLT staff BULLIED me out of a PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE location, I wasn’t speaking or talking. Just setting up the tables and two WGLT staff members stood, (shaking) next to me and aggressively forced me to leave until the “public” were allowed. The entire University is Publicly accessible. They can’t stop meet through a criminal trespass which was what they threatened next. But no warning was given so I casually walked out and back in to finish. Again the bullies. Trying to body block me and tell me to leave.
I ended up leaving for about 5 minutes to get a soda and the event started. Like did they accomplish anything?
Actually, the purpose of NIOT has always been to intimidate and promote reverse discrimination in BN. Look at people in the leadership and who are presumed members. Same tired personalities of the local “make good trouble” class. They all get off seeing their pictures or names in the local media. Laughing at them is a proper response when coming into contact with them. If any of these clowns touch your family members in the future, spending a night or two in jail after you knock some sense into them would be entirely worth it. Just another group of BN phonies.
Meanwhile local officials who refused to sign their propaganda pledge were threatened

Yes they are all frauds. Everyone knows it. Mike and Mollie should sign a pledge not to be cowards and stand up for everyone. Or better yet they should both resign from NIOT. They have failed.
Local officials were threatened? Full on Gestopo tactics embraced by the local deceivers screaming Nazi at anyone who disagrees with them. Lowest of life scum bags.
Here she goes. Full commie.
Just like the movie, “Never go full Commie!”
