Hope they push that.
Mayor Guy also has a seat on the Alcohol Beverage Control commission, the Cape Fear Community College Foundation Board and is a member of the N.C Banking Commission. He received the Kiwanian of the Year award in 2004 and was named Chamber of Commerce Man of the Year in 2000. He owns Zander Guy Real Estate and has been a Realtor and developer for over 25 years.
In addition, he has been mayor of Surf City since December 1999.
I doubt we’ll have such a moment (since the right had, besides the army & police, conservative militias in the Carlists and Falange). Until we form those, nobody on the government payroll (read: military & police) will do a thing.
The media is a government agency at this point (as it was for the Bolsheviks); during Mussolini’s rise to power he repeatedly burned the offices of the left-wing rags because they operated in the same manner...
When the IRS scandal was uncovered (in which conservative groups were effectively muzzled by having their non-profit status denied/delayed during the 2012 election cycle), it was reminiscent of one of the leftists’ first moves when they came to power in 1936 - they openly outlawed the opposition (the Falange) and when the war started they executed its jailed leader.
The European dictators of the 1920s and 1930s rightly understood one of the most basic flaws of democracy, one that cost Romney his election bid: When you simply promise enough people the property of the rest, you will win every election (individual rights be damned). Franco never allowed elections during his tenure because the government against which the army revolted in 1936 was lawfully elected; he never forgot that.
If you haven’t read “The Last Crusade” I’d strongly recommend it; it tells the other side of the story (while our media, including the Humphrey Bogart movie “Sahara” and “The Guns of Navarrone”, continued to push the myth that Franco was synonymous with Hitler...). Also, if you have a chance to find a speech given by Franco when he agreed to let the US open bases in Spain during the Cold War (after he was isolated into the 1950s); it is very touching. He laments the fact that only so late did the Americans understand what he and his allies were fighting against 20 years before in Spain.
Valerie Jarrett Meets With Black Lives Matter Leaders At The White House

President Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett met with Black Lives Matter activists yesterday at the White House, the latest sign that the Obama administration is involved with the controversial protest group.
Jarrett met with three organizers for Campaign Zero. DeRay Mckesson, Brittany Packnett, and Johnetta Elzie as well as Phil Agnew of the Dream Defenders and Jamye Wooten, an organizer for Baltimore United for Change were there, according to a senior White House official who confirmed the visit to Buzzfeed.
After the meeting, Packnett tweeted a selfie with Jarrett thanking her for engaging the movement.
“Great meeting, Brittany. Truly appreciate your leadership!!” Jarrett replied on Twitter. Packnett has six recorded entries of visiting the complex long before the protests in Ferguson. She also was among the select group of Ferguson activists that met with Obama in December 2014. “I could tell he is taking this very personally,” Packnett explained after the 45 minute meeting with the president in the Oval Office. “He wants to see some clear, thoughtful action come from this.”
She also revealed that Obama sympathized with the movement, thanks to his background as a community organizer in Chicago.
“He offered us a lot of encouragement with his background as a community organizer, and told us that even incremental changes were progress,” she told reporters after the meeting. “He didn’t want us to get discouraged. He said, ‘Keep speaking truth to power.’”
Packnett was also selected as a member of Obama’s presidential task force on 21st century policing – and has a long record of activism in St. Louis including some time spent in Washington D.C.
In past interviews, she described herself as the “bridge” between Ferguson protestors and Washington D.C.
She also help turn the Ferguson protests into a nationwide movement, after launching a newsletter of information relevant to the protests, spreading the #blacklivesmatter hashtag and helping the movement draft op-eds and documents.
As the Ferguson protests grew, she wrote her own story about her father, a Baptist pastor and a college professor who was “thrown against the hood of his imported car and beaten as my brother watched, screaming and crying.”
“I believe in non-violent civil action. I know that riots solve nothing. But I understand what Dr. King meant when he told Mike Wallace ‘a riot is the language of the unheard,’ nearly 50 years ago,” she wrote. “And in a community long overlooked, underserved, and continually harassed by law enforcement, the pressure finally burst the proverbial pipe.”
The group of activists also met with Roy Austin, the director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs.

The Obama Administration is pure evil.
Can we endure and survive 16 more months?
