Globalists’ tentacles taking hold of Henry County GA

In True nature of the State on September 13, 2016 at 10:04 pm

Matt McCord a well respected man has withdrawn from the District Attorney Race in Henry County Georgia. He is quitting the race because George Soros has given $100,000 t0 his opponent and he didn’t want to put his family through a “Soros Election”. If he continued in the race he fears that his family will be exposed to the defamation and mud slinging that is typical of an election that Soros is involved with.

This campaign to prevent a native Henry County Judge from running for DA would never have happened or at least it would have been hotly contested if the local power base of Henry County had not been destroyed by the banking crisis of 2008. The 2008 bailout money was passed out to those banks that were politically connected to people in Washington DC and those on Wall Street. Unfortunatley The First State Bank was not. The First State Bank was owned by individuals in Henry County and served the community for over 65 years. I used to work for The First State Bank and lived through the absolute horror of them being shut down by the Georgia Banking Authority, listening to the heartbreaking story of the elderly losing hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars worth of The First State Bank stock and then watching Hamilton State Bank systematically destroy what made it a wonderful community bank and a pillar of the community.

During the financial criss The First State Bank was denied TARP money while Hamilton State Bank received it. If The First State Bank had received the TARP funds or was left alone it would have made it through those troubled times. It was paying its bills. But Hamilton State Bank received over two hundred million dollars from venture capital firms. These investors wanted to steal the assets of The First State Bank for almost nothing and they were able to because of TARP and because of the corrupt way the FDIC determined which bank failed and which bank continued to exist. The Financial Crisis and the TARP bailouts were used to destroy community banking in Henry County GA and increase the power that people on Wall Street and Washington DC could exert right down into the cities of Stockbridge, McDonough and Locust Grove.

On Hamilton State Bank’s website  they boast in 2011 how they raised 213 million dollars from Tailwind Capital and from Angelo, Gordon and Company. These two firms were started and are populated by people who were part of the system that helped create the financial crisis to begin with. One of the Partners of Tailwind Capital is Frank V. Sica who worked for George Soros for twenty years and up until 2006 was the President of Soros Private Funds Management. Other founders worked for Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Lehman Brothers. Not organizations typically concerned about the impact their actions have on the citizens of Henry County Georgia.  Hamilton State Bank has also completed similar transactions in Douglas County and Bartow county by taking over financial institutions that have been cornerstones of those communities for decades.

Hamilton State Bank also lists who they installed on their board as of 2011. Instead of local veterinarians, builders, and other local business men who sat on the board of The First State Bank they installed on their board of directors a former head of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, a former senior advisor to the United States Treasury, a former Executive Vice President and a former Managing Director of JP Morgan, and a former Goldman Sachs executive. These elitists, wall street fat cats, venture capitalists, and former treasury officials used the power of government to destroy millions of shareholder wealth when the Georgia Department of banking shut down The First State Bank and pocketed millions in profits when the FDIC ate the majority of the bad debt.

I owned shares in The First State Bank and my investment was destroyed over night along with the millions and millions that the local community had invested into this county stalwart. I hate the TARP program. I think it was unconstitutional. But giving to one bank and not another is also criminal. And then having the politically connected benefit even further by acquiring all of the assets and only 20% of the bad loans is a further tragedy and its how you destroy the local power base of a community with a thinest veneer of legality. In reality it was nothing more than theft.

George Soros and his ilk look at us as mere pawns. They see only how they can rearrange us, to separate us, to set us against each other, and to cage us in order to benefit themselves and they use money and politic power to do so. They are connected to the highest levels of government and aren’t afraid to use it. His son recently went to dinner with Tim Kaine, Clinton’s VP running mate. On his son’s Instagram feed he wrote “I love this man”. How many of us could have dinner with the prospective VP? Do you think they were talking about how to ensure individuals are more free? I guarantee they weren’t. And George Soros is also on the Council on Foreign Relations which is a shadowy invite only group that advises the U.S. government on foreign policy.

George Soros is targeting “transitioning communities” where minorities are in his words not being fairly represented in government. Anyone who believes his rhetoric is ridiculous. I do believe that there is a problem with policing but it has to do with the drug war, the militarization of police, the horrible inner city schools and the progressive ideology that has created these “hoods” in every major city in the country. None of these issues are being brought up. And those who think that George Soros cares about anyone or that they’ll be better off when his puppet is in power is fooling themselves. Progressives use race rhetoric to build their power base in order to fill their pockets. Eugenics, the minimum wage, drug prohibition, and planned parenthood were all designed to increase the political power of the elites at the expense of the black communities.

The Progressives have been in charge of the major cities across the country for decades. Chicago in 2016 has had more homicides than NY and LA combined. That city is run by a progressive mayor.  Detroit is a wasteland. And I don’t know of too many people who feel comfortable walking at night in Atlanta.  The war on drugs and other progressive policies have helped to land 4.7% of the black male population in prison. The welfare state hasn’t helped either and has been instrumental in the destruction of the black nuclear family. In 1965 25% of black children were born to single moms. Now the number is up over 72%. The public schools systems are a disaster as well. Look at Clayton County. They lost their accreditation a few years ago and no one on the school board was a Libertarian or Conservative.

I want everyone to be free. I want everyone to pursue their definition of happiness as long as it doesn’t violate someone else’s rights. I own myself as does everyone else. George Soros doesn’t believe that. He believes that his billions give him the right to reshape society, tell people what to do  and create a a larger dependent class that looks to politicians who dole out taxpayer money  and in turn give sweetheart deals to their Wall Street friends.  They promise to “reach out to the community” and “improve access” and “share equity” and all this does is create conflict and tension between black, hispanic and white communities. We are all individuals and its those who seek to control us who want to separate us into race, into blue collar or white collar, into city or country, into hunters and non-hunters, in the haves and the have nots. They use this conflict to impoverish us all while enriching themselves , and at the same time limiting everyone’s freedom except their own. This modern form of Progressivism is just a form of socialism mixed with crony-capitalism. And like Winston Churchill said:

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

The Globalist Cabal has reached its tentacles into the backyard of Henry County in a big way. They’ve done this in the past through Taxation, Zoning, and environmental laws but these have been done quietly and done over time. We’ve slowly come to accept that government at all levels wants to control our lives. But those in power are now blatant in their attempt to use intimidation and money to buy the District Attorney’s office in Henry County. I truly couldn’t believe this when my brother first told me. Soros is doing this so he can install someone who doesn’t know the county, doesn’t live in the county and is beholden to him progressive Billionaire and his agenda.  This couldn’t have happened or at least there would have been a chance to oppose it if the wealth that was invested in The First State Bank hadn’t been erased.

The bigger issues are of course fractional reserve banking, the Federal Reserve System, the size and scope of government, wars overseas, the welfare state, and the war on drugs which all creates enormous harm for individuals and communities, regardless of color.  Those are the issues that need to be spoken about because they increase the power of the state and people like George Soros spends billions in order to control that power. The closing and the theft of The First State bank and the intimidation and robbery of the District Attorney’s office in Henry County show why ideas truly matter. Progressivism, statism, and crony capitalism creates an atmosphere where these things can happen in Henry County Georgia. Its time to wake up to what is really going on.  My dad always said that  if you want to know what’s going on then you need to “follow the money“. And if we follow the money for these two huge events that will impact Henry County residents for decades to come, it leads directly  to George Soros and his Wall Street Fat Cat Cronies who spout empty promises of Progressiveness while reaping huge profits as crony capitalist.

This needs to be documented and talked about. I am thankful for the AJC article who first broke the story on Friday of last week of Soros’ involvement.

Are you FED up? If so Vote for Ron Paul

In Advocates of Liberty on December 8, 2011 at 1:43 am

Are you Fed up? Are you Fed up with the taxes, the government spending, and the liberty destroying regulations coming out of Washington? Are you fed up with the Endless wars around the world and the failed drug war at home? Are you fed up with The Federal Reserve’s destruction of the dollars by their printing trillions of new dollars? If you are then the one man who has the best chance to reverse this course if elected to become our 45th president is, Dr. Ron Paul.

Most folks have heard of Ron but do not clearly understand what the implications would be if he became our president. These same folks buy into the chatter on the news and talk radio that paint Ron Paul’s ideology as Isolationist and anarchistic. This is far from the truth. Ron Paul believes simply in chaining down the Federal Government to its enumerated powers clearly specified by the U.S. Constitution; which consequently is still the law of the land.

Ron Paul’s faith in the Constitution is firmly grounded in the Natural Rights tradition that inspired the founding fathers. Paul believes that every human being on Earth by his mere existence as a human being, has a God-given right to his life, his liberty, and to his justly acquired property. He knows first hand fighting in Congress all these years against the descrtucition of our libierties, that the Leviathan,  the Federal Government is the greatest threat to your liberty and to mine. While in Congress Ron voted against hundreds of bills that would have raised taxes or given authority to the Federal Government that exceed its Lawful Constitutional Mandate. Ron Paul correctly believes that as Government Grows individual liberty recedes.

How many here today are Fed up with the Internal Revenue Service? That’s a stupid question.  Everyone here would like to see that engine of theft finally ended. How many here today are Fed up with the Federal Reserve’s inflationary schemes that cause increased prices and punish savers by artificially lowering interest rates? Which consequently, they only do in order to enable the Federal Government to continue its borrowing binge. I don’t even to That is why Ron Paul states without hesitation that his mission is to End the Fed and End the IRS. Let those words sink in a minute and think about that will mean to you. That means more money in your pocket, which more importantly would be sound money.

But in order to do that the out of control spending must be addressed and Ron Paul pledges to veto any unbalanced budget that is sent to him.

Most Americans are fed up with the ever-increasing intrusions by the Feds in the name of safety into their privacy whether it’s in their homes, on their computers or at their place of business. Most Americans are fed up with being groped and their naked bodies revealed to strangers when they want to fly. Most Americans are fed up being treated like a terrorist every time they want to travel. Most Americans are fed up with the failed drug war and the violence that prohibition inevitably creates. Most Americans are fed up with the militarization of the police force. Most Americans are fed up with the no knock warrants and the subsequent killing of innocent individuals by the police who are simply defending their property, when the police serve the warrants at the wrong address. Most Americans are fed up with having to constantly fight for their God-given right to defend themselves against politicians who are always scheming to ban certain firearms, make them harder and more expensive to acquire and eventually eliminate private ownership all together. That is why Ron Paul wants to privatize the TSA, end the Drug War, end all unconstitutional spying by the Federal government on citizens and ensure that your God-given right, stated in the  second amendment  will not be violated.

Most Americans are fed up with the crony capitalism that has grown because of the massive increase in the size and power of the Federal Government.  Most Americans are fed up with the politicians granting private companies the privilege to privatize their gains while socializing their losses on the backs of the taxpayers. Most Americans are fed up with the entrepreneurial crushing regulations coming out of the EPA, FDA, Dept of Energy and the HHS. Most Americans are fed up with the pompous politicians and the baneful bureaucrats who want to institute a Planned Economy in America. Where where are regulated to mere automotons acting not upon our own Free WIll but by the  pernicious prescriptions from politicians that claim to know best. Ron Paul understands that the bureaucracy in Washington and their endless regulations are strangling the ability of individuals to voluntarily exchange goods and services, which is what the economy really boils down to.

Most Americans are fed up with the massive U.S. presence overseas and the trillions of dollars wasted abroad. Most Americans are Fed up with the endless wars that the Feds are prosecuting in at least five countries. Most Americans are fed up with seeing young men killed on battlefields thousands of miles away in a war with no clear enemy and a less clear definition of victory. Most Americans are fed up with seeing young folks who volunteered to serve their country return home from war with missing arms and legs, massive terrible burns and debilitating head injuries. Most Americans are fed up their tax dollars being used to buy bombs, that when dropped on foreign battlefields, inevitably kill innocent men women and children. How would any of us like it if China started dropping bombs on American citizens or placing bases in Montana? That is  exactly what the Federal government does everyday around the world. In addition most Americans are fed up with U.S. citizens being targeted for assassination around the world after being placed on a kill/capture list by secretive opaque intelligence committees. Ron Paul understands this and believes in a strong defense but not the bloated Dept. of Defense budget which prosecutes the endless foreign interventions. That is why Ron Paul pledges to end the wars overseas immediately and bring home all of our soldiers as quickly as possible, while maintaining a strong defense at home.

If you are like most Americans and are fed up with the way the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve destroy your individual liberty on a daily basis then there is a man who would put an immediate stop to the unchecked power of the politicians and bureaucrats in Washington. That man is Ron Paul. I urge everyone to do your research on the other candidates. Then compare their record  to the record of Ron Paul. Compare their actions and the ideas that inform those actions to Ron Paul’s  unflagging committment to fighting for your Natural Right to your life, your liberty and your property. If you vote for  Ron Paul, you are voting for the elimination of the IRS, the Federal Reserve and the reduction of the Federal Government back down to its lawful Constitutional Mandate.
