Conspiracy Theories

Many times we have been called "conspiracy theorists" whenever someone wants to try to discredit us.  But, what exactly do they mean by this term? con·spir·a·cy the·o·ry:    noun; plural noun: conspiracy theories:   a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event. Is this what they mean?  If so, then, yes, we are exactly that.  We believe that a group calling themselves "Lakeside City Alliance" is responsible for many of the circumstances we are presently witnessing in our community of Tucker.

History in the Making

There can be more than one side to every story.  In the case of new cities and how they were started in Central DeKalb County, there are multiple stories designed to confuse or overwhelm voters so that they don't show up to vote at all, allowing the small, politically motivated few to control the outcome at the polls.  If residents do turn out to vote, then the small groups claiming to represent them are hoping to convince them to vote for something based on incorrect assumptions, invalid arguments or simply out of fear.  This blog site has a simple mission:  to give you the truth. We need to set the record straight.
