Hey, Columbus, GA Council... and citizens!
We received a campaign "flyer" for the City's $400,000,000.00 SPLOST we are voting on now through November 2nd. There were elements of the "flyer that elevated my curiosity.. ......and suspicion.. First.. was the "postage" statement.. it was mailed from Savannah, GA (Permit #1473).. so I "DuckDuckGO-ed" it and finally found a reference for "Forward Columbus" that wasn't about Columbus, Ohio...Finding out our "Forward Columbus" was "dissolved" as a GA company in 2018, so I further looked up the address given in the Columbus Property Tax database...and found it.. with 2 entries.. one for "Forward Columbus" and another for the principals OF "Forward Columbus" with a H1 Exemption in a neat East Wynnton neighborhood. Something is not "kosher" here...
Oh.. the "flyer" itself certainly "skirted" some worthy information.. It doesn't mention replacing the Government Center nor the $400,000,000.00 (close to half-a-BILLION) minimum goal. Nor does it mention that Council recently added $50-MILLION worth of bond debt on the property tax payers' backs buying out the Synovus building covering most of the 1100 block of Broadway and 1st Avenue. The "flyer" also.. "tiptoes" through some sketchy information about past and future spendings.. It mentions future spendings on "Recreation facility improvements" (but conveniently does not mention the Indoor Aquatic Center that's a financial DRAIN on property taxes) , and throws in "Public safety ENHANCEMENTS for first responders (though does not mention what "enhancements" are nor that how they've fooled us once with the ongoing "Public Safety SPLOST", nor does it mention the Government Service Center next door to the Aquatic Center.
The "FLYER" also tries to minimize the $400,000,000.00 as only a 70% portion of a penny on Columbus taxpayers yet we know better as every Columbus taxpayer will pay the full
"penny" increase which is actually a 12.5% increase in our already high sales tax line-up.
Below is the "copy" of the information at the
website, you can verify Forward Columbus' questionable validity as a current state corporation. Maybe one of the Councilors can furnish us with information as to whether "Forward Columbus, LLC" is a currently licensed Columbus business concern.

Oh! Think about this.. Every building in the Synovus property the City just bought is way older that the Government Center that needs replacing because of the poor maintenance record of the City.. Based on the Government Center issue in just 50 years of existence, how long will the newest City acquisition remain viable since the newest structure of the property is already over 70 years old?

From the "there's more to this than meets the eye" department - Online headline: "Obama to campaign with McAuliffe, ahead of Virginia gubernatorial election with national implications" -- Hmmm.. "President Obama"? I guess he means "former President Obama"... is coming .. but McAuliffe isn't allowing PRESIDENT JoKKKe Biden to do the same (like he did for california Governor Newsom), nor has McAuliffe asked VP Chuckles Harris to come campaign for him either. Oh! And Stacey Abrams IS invited ...
---
Online headline: "Republicans keep pushing election conspiracies at Trump-backed rally" -- and judging by Terry McAuliffe's campaign for governor of VA, all Democrat politicians will probably start jumping on the bandwagon WITH Republicans claiming that JoKKKe Joe is not who they elected...
---
JoKKKe Biden uses a fake "Oval Office set" across the street from the White House for press conferences because a large print Teleprompter can be put directly in front of him that can't be used in the real Oval Office. Chuckles Harris uses fake students (actors) in a NASA science video so the "students" comments can scripted, and both use predetermined press questions if they stay after reading their prefab statements. Trump was right.. the 2020 Election was fake as well.

Have you noticed....noticed how MSM has ignored the National School Board Association's request to the DOJ to classify concerned parents as "DOMESTIC TERRORISTS".. and acceptance by Atty General Garland Merrick to investigate? And MSM is even more blind to Merrick's daughter being married to the co-founder of Panorama Education which sells curriculum sources in question to the schools that the parents are so upset about!

Online headline: "Dean Cain slams DC Comics over new Superman coming out * The actor who played Superman on TV in the '90s said on "Fox & Friends" that there's nothing "bold or brave" about the current Superman coming out as bisexual." -- Thank you Dean Cain! Hollywood feels it can rewrite history to alter the truth to fit its agenda.. This is Hollywood's latest attempt to destroy American icons of "truth, justice, and the American way"! They've already destroyed "Robin" as Batman's "Boy Wonder".. and I'm guessing Batman will be next as Hollywood's goal of legitimizing "man/boy relationships" moves forward.. Hey... MSM... you CAN expose... and halt... Hollywood's goal... and TODAY would be a great time to start doing so!

58! Now Columbus's "countable" homicides have reached 58 for 2021.. and we have over 2-and-a-half more months of the "busy season" still coming. God help us!

From the "you're about to see the birth of a new industry" department - Online headline: "U.S. to lift border restrictions for vaccinated travelers * Starting next month, foreign travelers who provide proof of vaccination will be able to enter the U.S. from Canada and Mexico." -- Yep.. a new industry is born.. fake Vaccine IDs....I'm gonna bet the Mexican drug cartels will be right in the middle of it too.. providing Vaccine ID's for its drug mules, coyotes, and paying illegal aliens crossing into America so they can avoid any Covid-19 quarantines ...
---
Online headline: "Stores likely to be understocked this Christmas, White House warns" -- Well.. the White House SHOULD KNOW this... it's the reason why we should expect shortages....
---
Online headline: "Expert makes grim prediction about bus driver shortage * A lack of school bus drivers has complicated an already stressful back-to-school season, and some in the field say the problem might be long-term." -- And Columbus knows FIRST HAND! The MCSD advertised a $1,000.00 "signing bonus" for new drivers prior to Fall opening looking for 50 new ones..... my reliable source said 5 were hired...
---
Online headline: "Why Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Rome went horribly wrong" -- Hmmm.. wonder if she mentioned she might want to impeach the Pope?
---
Online headline: "Risky move: Biden undercuts WH executive privilege shield * It’s a risky move by President Joe Biden that could come back to haunt him — and future presidents — in the hyperpartisan world of Washington politics." -- Wow!... on the other hand.. if... no.. WHEN... Trump.. or a TRUMP supported candidate ... wins in 2024, Biden's "handlers" will lose the protection of "Executive Privilege" and be revealed..
---
WRBL-TV3 headline: "Chris Breault representing suspended District Attorney Mark Jones in criminal case" -- Excuse.. but wasn't Chris Breault the "special prosecutor" against Mark Jones in the first round of this escapade? Surely there's some conflict of interest here...at least the appearance of some possibility of conflict in evidence handling.. Has the GA Ethics Committee sounded off on this?
---
Online headline: "UNC Chapel Hill cancels classes amid suicide fears, mental health crisis" -- Could the influx in campus suicides be simply students becoming "woke" to the liberal garbage they are being taught that destroys their perspective of a productive life? How about "waking up" to the fact they will have a student loan to pay off for this bogus education?
---
You know.. It's not just Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and california being overwhelmed by illegal aliens.. JoKKKe Biden's policies are creating major problems in most of our 48 original states... well except for a few favorites.. like his own Delaware and some of the "battleground states" that gave him the Electoral College win...
-----------------------------------
Online headline: "Maryland couple suspected of selling nuclear secrets could spend rest of life in jail" -- Hmmm... this ranks up there with Bill Clinton selling China our classified plans and technology to build intercontinental ballistic missiles giving China the capability to deliver nuclear warheads to our country.
