Who are the people we honor?

2008-10-10T13:35:46-06:00

Symbolism isn’t meaningless. Ross Barnett Reservoir? Whom are we honoring? I’m sure there are many more examples. Shouldn’t we talk about this?

White House considers ownership stakes in banks

2008-10-09T12:46:19-06:00

I don’t know about this? I mean you have people that have been fighting against this for a minute. YOu have a few people that believe there will be a world bank and they will take over everything? I am trying not to sound like a anarchist - but England just pumped a trillion dollars into their banking system, to get ownership shares - now we are considering it!?

Iceland is about to go bankrupt and they have one of the highest GDP and GNP in the world!?

I hope a lot more people start paying attention to this.

A financial 9/11! That little documentary called “Loose Change” already has me a little paranoid!

King Edward - What’s going on?

2006-12-07T03:20:30-06:00

The City, along with Clayco/HRI/Watkins Partners bid out the initial clean-out of the King Edward on November 1. It was awarded to a company that bid ~$1M for the work. As I understand the bid, the work is required to be complete no longer than 130 days from the awarding of the bid (10 days to sign contract, 120 days to complete).

130 Days from 11/1/2006 is 3/11/2007. We’re already +36 days from the bid date, and no visible work or preparations for work have begun.

Is the project going to happen?

Conservatism vs. Liberal-ism

2008-10-06T16:20:10-06:00

There was an interview on CNN with a guy named Thomas Frank. He wrote a book called “The Wrecking Crew: How Conservatives Govern”

http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/10/06/thomas.frank/index.html

after reading the interview, it had me thinking?

Americans live in a free trade society where wealth usually determines your worth in this free trade society. But you also have social class as well. Social class before the mid 60’s was basically, long as you are not black, or a black person of fair complexion, you were some what of worth? Supposedly.

It didn’t boil down to being Jewish, Russian, Italian, Polish, German or what have you of European decent - because in the early part of the 1900’s - they were literally all the same color, white people. From inter-marriage, based on color lines. So you had the two class system (whites vs. blacks)).

But now you get post mid 60’s, sexual barriers are breaking down, ethnic barriers are breaking down. So some of the people that were so used to privalage, were losing that umbrella!

What was left to do - come up with the Conservative movement! Its blind to sex, color and financial status. So you can’t call it a racist movement because it was not based on the obvious!

But the catch is, who has caught on to the wave of conservatism? The Republican Party and a fair percentage of white americans. I was listening to Paul Gallo this morning and a young “brotha” as Paul Gallo said it, told Paul that Barack Obama has lived the american dream - deemed by the conservative front, went to an Ivy Leage school, married to his wife for 16 years, two beautiful kids with the white picket fence, minus the dog! The young man told Paul - what more could you want from the man!

Paul Gallo’s basically said - “That is an issue for “YOU” to figure out - I can’t understand why black americans are upset and don’t feel like Americans!” It was like he was the holder of the key and it’s just dangling in front of you, but no matter how you play by the rules, or adjust your game preperations - the rules are always getting changed by a blind force that wants to keep it for a select few.

The conservative movement has created hell spawns by the likes of Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reiley, Bay Buchannon, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, even Dennis Miller. So it makes you think, look at the color of their skin, and look @ the finanical back ground of these people. They are paid to spew information - regardless of how offensive or misinformed it may be, but it has been bought up by plenty.

It has becom the white man’s hip-hop or rap! I mean you have a few blacks in the movement but they are poster children for the movement! It makes you think - look at Mississippi with it’s conservative movement - it is so bad that you have democrats trying to pump out “conservative” democratic values!

The very same president that the conservative movement has elected, is now cast away in banishment. That goes to show you how it is so much about the movement! It is about maintaining a social caste system, creating paranoia and confusion. It should have never been bought into simply because it has created a deeper strain in america’s social setting since the civil rights movement.

Thomas Frank made me aware of something today after reading that interview and it will definately give me some conversation tonight at the dinner table and lodge meeting tomorrow!

Very Interesting.

My 2 Cents

Whats going on JFP Fam?. I was checking out the news this morning ,and the Chief or whatever you want to call him says he wants Clubs to close early because of previous shootings.I know he has a good heart,and he’s trying to control what goes on in the night life. Me Personally i think he should go after the Clubs that don’t have the Proper Permits to be Clubs. The only reason why i say that we have Farish street which is gonna be resort status that will have to be open later than 2 also dont forget about all the money that they about to spend on the Capitol Green Project which has Clubs in the area Hal & Mals, Martins,FIRE,SIN etc.. all of the Properties are in the Vicinity of the all new MULTIMILLION dollar Projects Convention Center and the Telecom.If you do the math all the guys who were shot were Teens why Prosecute the Clubs which have their stuff in order & been open for many of years paying taxes in the city ,and also help keep’s Tourism going in the downtown area with Special Events ,and Big National Concerts.

My Solution Mr. Mcmillin

(1)Make all BYOB Locations Shut their doors Early
Why? revenue cant be made via taxes which you know bootlegging will Surface & that Causes the extra Violence late Night.
(2) Press Teen Curfew
Under age Teens need to be Ticketed which will bring more money in taxes ,2nd offence Community Service should teach them a lesson ,3rd offence Jail Time in Juvey.
(3)Pay Officers a lil more money so they won’t have to work @ NightClubs
,and me talking to some officers it will help with their Moral to Do the Job alot Better.

Mr. Mcmillin
Your Officers have to get more into the community & find out what is really going on in the neiborhoods sometimes talking to the Community
you can get a gang of information good & bad.

In The Coming Weeks
By Fred Marshall Jr.
9-25-8

What I’m about to suggest will be a little too heavy for some readers, especially for those who mistakenly believe that the official story the world was told about the events of September 11, 2001, is anywhere near true. Anyone who hasn’t realized by now that the whole fiasco was an inside government job, well, simply hasn’t been paying attention.
Some factual “givens” must be understood before I lay my predictions on you. The purpose is that when some or all of them come to pass, then readers will (1) not be surprised and (2) they’ll have a fundamental understanding of what will be some of the motives. Some will no doubt wrongly call me “racist,” but I hasten to remind readers that telling the truth cannot justifiably be regarded as racist (though it is “politically correct” to keep one’s mouth shut).
Neither Obama nor McCain is qualified to lead sheep to pasture without the help of a well-trained shepherd dog. McCain flew airplanes, he didn’t command battalions, brigades, squadrons, or anything. He destroyed four or five aircraft through negligence and arrogance. Getting shot down is evidence of failure, not success. His only experience in government has been in the Congress, where he has run nothing. He no doubt has always had the equivalent of an office manager to supervise his staff, so he hasn’t even run an office staff.
Obama is as much a joke as McCain. The Senate has been in session for 143 work days since he has been a Senator. He hasn’t introduced any legislation worth mentioning, and he hasn’t voted on any measures that were opposed by the other party. Bills that rename post offices, and similar actions, usually pass by unanimous consent and voice votes that can’t be traced back to any group of Senators. Oh, he was a “community organizer,” whatever that is.
There’s lots of evidence Obama is a devout Muslim, and states in his own book that he will stand with the Muslims if the winds of change ever force his hand. Newt Gingrich just about sums up the leadership experience in Obama’s background, in 43 seconds, in the attached video. You’ll note the media guy was speechless when he finished. The comparison is of Obama and Palin, and Newt points out that he hasn’t seen anything Obama has done other than talk and write. We need a bit more than that in a president. And, since that’s about all we’ve seen from McCain, flipping a coin might be a good idea.
Obama Admits Muslim Faith - 2 min
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQqIpdBOg6I&NR=1
Sarah Palin is more qualified than both of them combined. Her history is admittedly rather brief, but her accomplishments have been noteworthy, and easily subjugate everything the other two have done.
It’s a sad fact that the people who have resolved to vote for either McCain or Obama don’t know much of anything about either one of them. Their emotions have been systematically molded by the lamestream media over the past few months. I say “emotions” because none of them has sufficient knowledge of either candidate upon which to base a defendable “opinion.” Opinions can’t be formed without knowledge. People who don’t know much about a subject cannot form an opinion about it. “Choices” made on the basis of scant knowledge is guesswork at best, emotional at worst.
The bottom line is that we’ll be in a heap of do-do with either one of them in the Oval Office (or have they stuck with the name Clinton gave it, the “Oral Orifice?"). Now for some predictions, admittedly speculative.
If Obama loses, you can rest assured there will be demonstrations in cities all across the country. You’ll see window-breaking, looting, attacks on small groups and individual white folks, and the race-whores (Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Kwiasi Imfume, Louis Farakkan, John Conyers, etc.) will be hogging every television camera they can find to publicly claim “foul,” “rigged voting,” “disenfranchised” voters, and the like. The police, and maybe the National Guard, will be out in force beforehand because these results are both quietly expected and presumed inevitable.
The media will fan the flames. They’ll run specials (they’re getting them ready now) to remind viewers of the exploits of MLK, Rosa Parks, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and other lesser-known black leaders of the past. Programs will harken back to the days of slavery (which existed in most countries two centuries ago) and will shame and throw guilt trips on the greedy white folk. We’ll be reminded once again that our ancestors “stole” the land from the native Indians.
If Obama wins, then essentially the same thing will occur, with a few twists here and there. The riots, the destruction, and the attacks will be similar, though the motivation will be slightly different. Lower class and uneducated blacks will feel empowered by having a black president and will want to publicly demonstrate to showcase their newly-acquired status and influence. They’ll feel “in charge” after hundreds of years of oppression. They’ll “take back” what they sense “well-to-do” people - - especially elderly people - - have “stolen” from them in the past, the things to which they feel “entitled.” So, I expect all manner or law enforcement agencies, National Guard, and active duty armed forces are drilling and rehearsing as I write.
The stage for justifying the president - - any president - - to declare martial law is being set. Should Bush elect to make that declaration, he can set aside the election results for up to two years (which can be extended) as I understand it.

Who’s gonna pay?

2008-09-23T08:59:42-06:00

The government is bailing out banks, big insurance companies and everybody else in sight. How are we gonna pay for all this? You know how...more taxes and more government regulations - keep your hands off my paycheck! Now I hear Musgrove is doing the dirty work of the big labor unions and promising to back some bill that will force unions down our throats. There isn’t enough money left in my check now after deductions—I can’t afford to pay union dues too. Stop all this madness.
