During what was called a “remarkable press conference” by local reporters, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) slapped down any suggestion of holding a special legislative session to oust District Attorney Fani Willis, as proposed by right-wing state Senator Colton Moore.
Moore appeared on Steve Bannon‘s War Room podcast where he claimed “civil war” was inevitable unless Willis was stopped from prosecuting former President Donald Trump on fake elector scheme charges.
“I did want to take just a few minutes to speak to some history that’s trying to repeat itself over the last few days here in Georgia,” Kemp began, before reiterating how he had repeatedly refused to call a special session to overturn the 2020 election results.
Kemp concluded, “The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I’m governor, we’re going to follow the law in the Constitution regardless of who it helps or harms politically…and in Georgia, we will not be engaging in political theater that only inflames the emotions of the moment.”

Thought we’d love GA but after being here a little more than 10 years it is a jungle and it is not a conservative state. I lived there in the 80s and 90s (Atlanta). Great time to be alive in GA, THEN.
Guess what? Nothing lasts forever.
When I was there Atlanta metro was about 1.6 M. Today, it is over 6 M.
Kemp is what happens when the carpet baggers from NY & CA move in and take over!
Watch out FL & TX.

Well, I certainly hope this doesn’t come as a surprise to CTH readers. {Go Deep on GA GOPe) In fact, on August 15th, I specifically wrote how Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was supporting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis {Go Deep}.
When you know you are essentially watching a performance of paid political actors, and if you are familiar with the Sea Island – Big Club screenplay, then the only thing remaining is to watch the show and see which sequence they assign to each act. In today’s performance, Brian Kemp, holds a public press conference to proclaim his faith and trust in corrupt Fulton County DA Fani Willis. WATCH:
The reality of the situation is very obvious. Kemp is leading a stop Trump effort on behalf of the multinational benefactors behind him. This is why Kemp recently met privately with Ron DeSantis to promote the reboot 4.0 effort. The Sea Island group has organized Georgia as an important part of their effort. Kemp has a role to play, and the support of Fani Willis is as simple as fulfilling that role and responsibility.
Many casual political observers have been wondering about why the Georgia republican apparatus, including Brian Kemp, doesn’t just get involved and shut down the nonsense coming from Fulton County and political prosecutor Fani Willis. It’s an understandable reference point and curiosity, but if you understand Georgia republican politics you understand why the political leadership actually support Fani Willis.

Former House Speaker, Republican John Boehner (far left), and current Georgia
Republican Governor, Brian Kemp (far right), attend a Stop Trump political
strategy session in Sea Island, Georgia, May 2023. The strategy session was how
to align with Democrats to destroy the MAGA insurgency.
Republican and Democrat politics is a club structure. Factually, voters are irrelevant in the system the two private corporations have constructed. Whether you align with Republicans or you choose to align with Democrats, the main thing to always remember is – they don’t care. Voters are not part of the RNC/DNC party construct. Voters are irrelevant. The interests of voters are not part of any discussion that takes place inside the private corporations.
On a scaled basis of control, the Georgia republican apparatus is near the top of the GOPe structure for total operational control. Georgia voters are even less relevant than other states. Georgia voters, much like Texas voters, are the least important part of the party process.
Georgia and Texas are closed party states. Much like “districts” in the former Soviet era, Texas and Georgia are under the control of private party officers. If you live in either of these states, and if you try to effect political organizing that impacts the party apparatus, you are an annoying gnat to be removed.
We the people do not have voting processes in these states (Arizona, Nevada and more recently Alaska are examples), we have the illusion of the voting process.
Control is the key in these totalitarian illusions of democracy. If Fani Willis is targeting the group who organize against the interests of Brian Kemp and the Republican club leadership, she is doing them a favor. Brian Kemp and his Republican party crew support corrupt district attorney Fani Willis, just like former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell supported U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in the targeting of the Tea Party (2011, 2012). The alignments are exactly identical.
There are states where the professional [GOPe] republican grip is tight, and there are states where the MAGA insurgency has gained strength loosening that corporate club grip. Georgia is a state where the party apparatus is gripping the reins tight and not willing to let the populist movement impede their professional political stranglehold.
Governor Brian Kemp is to Georgia in 2024 as Govenor Haley Barbour was to Mississippi previously. Kemp controls the party machinery and Kemp has always despised the popular support for Donald Trump, an unacceptable republican in the eyes of the party apparatus. It is not coincidental that Sea Island Georgia is the epicenter of the Wall Street assembly against the populist insurgency. Georgia is a battleground state for Republican power and control.
Before going further, watch this 20 second clip of MeAgain Kelly interviewing Ron DeSantis recently. Notice the mindset, the point of reference for DeSantis, when Kelly pokes him about his distant polling to President Trump. Notice the state he references {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
I’m not going to repeat the examples of the Sea Island reference points, the Mike Pence rally to support Kemp, George W Bush rallying support for Kemp, the intentional non requests for Trump ’22 campaigning, True the Vote’s Catherine Englebrecht documenting the systemic vote system corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his entire administration, or the MSM push to use Kemp as an example of a Trump slayer.
Additionally, you guys already know the background of Georgia grassroots activists booing Kemp at the state convention, and the recent issue of Brian Kemp adviser Cody Hall joining team DeSantis while remaining a Kemp advisor.
The Sea Island group of billionaires, influence agents, GOPe politicians, multinationals, Wall Street hedge funds and corporate republicans are manipulating the events in Georgia to support the roadmap that contains their nominee, Ron DeSantis.
Again, for reference, this is not a short-term issue. This is a long-term construct on behalf of the right-wing of the UniParty and the Bush clan apparatus to remove the threat of MAGA politics from their controlled party.
DeSantis is a tool, a vessel for these interests. The absentee Florida governor is not their candidate per se’, because the benefit DeSantis provides is not contained in his winning the 2024 primary, but rather in stopping Donald Trump from winning it.
In 2010 the Tea Party caught the corporate Republican party off guard, they reassembled their machinery and then attacked and removed the Tea Party influence in 2012. In 2016 the counterinsurgent Tea Party base found a way to fight back with Donald Trump; we reassembled and added more support from the middle and working class around the America First agenda and defeated Wall Street republicans again. However, every moment thereafter has been this battle between the party control operatives and the MAGA insurgents.
That battle has continued, and Georgia is the latest visible evidence of the war raging in the background.
We told you this was going to be very ugly, and it is unfolding exactly as we would expect.
It will get worse, much worse!
The key to defeating these Machiavellian constructs is to pour sunlight upon them.

Classic GOP. He’s just sitting their watching while the deep state rapes us.
“Man, I’ll bet that stings doesn’t it? I almost stopped them from gang raping you and if you donate yet more money to the GOP, we’ll get that much closer to stopping them the next time they rape you?”

As an added ‘bonus,’ their actions significantly helped Democrats take both Senate seats. You know what else helped them take both Senate seats? Trump suggesting that there was no point in showing up to vote since elections are rigged in Georgia.
To: Gaffer
At best, he’s a spineless jellyfish of a Republican.
Stacy Abrams, a REAL election denier, spooked him into signing a consent agreement that watered every possible rule to prevent election fraud and intimidation.
Donald Trump called them out on this, and in response response he joined up with the disgraceful list of Trump deranged Republicans, e.g. Mitt Romney, Lynn Cheney and Christ Christie.
And now he’s piling on by refusing to challenge the rogue prosecutor in Fulton County.
To: RandFan
For some reasons, GA Republican will fight you to defend Kemp.
To: Gaffer
Stacey Abrams did win in 2022; Kemp turns out to be her ally. Maybe he is holding the seat for her in 2026.
To: TermLimits4All
I had always thought Georgia was conservative, but clearly I was wrong. Doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of them there, but the political system seems to be trending towards that of Massachusetts, where it is completely rigged towards the election of one party rule soon.
Republicans are there for window dressing, to play the part of controlled opposition to make Republicans think they still have a say in things.
Kemp in GA = Romney in MA

GA is #1 worldwide in film production now. We have mountains, coastlines, green valleys out the wazoo, lovely small towns, and Atlanta with its mega-airport. IOW, GA has changed greatly and the population has grown and changed too. I’m amazed we have an R gov, and I think he’s done an excellent job given the circumstances.

I’ll bet he actually lost in 2022. This phony is absolutely toxic to Conservative base voters. RINOs are just as capable of fixing elections as the Demonrats. Notice also how Sinator Warlock managed to “win” even as the GOP won everything else statewide (which makes no logical sense, all White GOP candidates winning and a Black Communist wife-beater ?). That was the deal Kemp cut with his Demonrat bed-buddies. Notice how quiet Scaty got after the elections, too (unlike 2018). They’re all in on it.
