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.

It's hard to deny that if Lakeside City had never been proposed, we would not be talking about a city of Tucker, a city of Briarcliff and probably not even a city of Stonecrest.

Do we have a personal vendetta against anyone in particular?  No.

Does anyone connected to the city efforts for Tucker, Lakeside, Briarcliff, Stonecrest or elsewhere have any personal vendetta against us?

Well, on the surface, it certainally appears that way.  Several individuals have used their power or influence to say some pretty mean and hateful things and they have spread several lies for no other reason than to try to discredit or silence us.

But, do they have a reason for a vendetta, if there is one?  No.

We have never taken any action against anyone individually.  In fact, the only public statements we have made on the entire issue of a city of Lakeside or other cities have been direct admissions of the fact that we do not know who is behind the effort and we would like to find out so that we can ask them questions about their plan.  We have asked questions and many times we did receive answers that we thought were fair and valid and we did not continue to bring up those subjects again.

However, there were some questions we asked that made some of these folks very upset and angry.  We asked again and received answers that were not satisfactory in the least.  When this has happened in the past, we felt it was important information for others to know.  If we are being kept in the dark about who is involved in the creation of cities or how the money raised is actually being spent, then we are already off to a rocky start to a new form of government that is supposed to be better than the corrupt one we have right now.

But, there is one exception that we take to the term "conspiracy theory."   That is the fact that we believe there is more than sufficient evidence to show that the events taking place in our community are more than just theory.  There is a real conspiracy of locally elected officials, backing by corrupt groups of citizens in our midst, big corporate dollars  and it is all against the DeKalb County taxpayer.   There is a plan to take as much of our money as possible and spend it on their own agendas or to further the chances that their own investments will pay off sooner rather than later.

Our only way to truly protect ourselves is to simply vote "no" on whatever they put before you on a ballot.  Vote no to incumbents. Vote no on their plans.  Vote no on any new taxes.  Vote no and continue to do so until you start to see a government that is responsive to the actual community, the taxpayers, not the small special interest groups who lobby for your money and wine and dine your representatives.  Don't fall victim to their game of pitting neighbor against neighbor.  Stick up for each other and vote no until you have elected officials in office who will truly look out for everyone.

Tweak us out of LaVista Hills

This is a letter shared with the "Dekalb Strong" group.  You can join the conversation at https://www.facebook.com/groups/DeKalbStrong . We didn't realize how easy tweaking was. “Tweak” and just like that, 2000 people are moved from one city proposal to another. (“LaVista Hills, Tucker border tweaked in Senate,” News, March 20). Our home is in Toco Hills on the southern edge of the proposed LaVista Hills and we’d like to be tweaked out of it.   North and north central DeKalb County residents have become pawns in the misguided ambitions of a few. With all the changes made by the Senate and House, it’s vital the feasibility of these proposals be revisited. The LaVista Hills boundaries have bled commercial property to the Tucker proposal and Brookhaven’s annexation of Executive Park. As reconfigured, LaVista Hills is almost entirely residential. Even including Toco Hills shopping center and Northlake mall, there appears to be insufficient commercial or industrial pr

DeKalb County School Board Member's Emails Show Support for Annexation

Here are just a few highlights of this investigative piece that was reported by Jeff Chirico, CBS Atlanta. Marshall Orson, a seated board member in DeKalb County, has to answer to some angry parents about his emails with supporters for "Together in Atlanta," a group pushing for annexation into the city of Atlanta. The annexation would take a DeKalb icon, the Druid Hills High School, and at least two elementary schools into the city limits of Atlanta, while still the residents would still technically reside in DeKalb County.  The Fernbank Science Center and Museum, Callenwalde Fine Arts Center and other parts of DeKalb County would also become new residents of "Atlanta in DeKalb."   State Rep. Karla Drenner (D - Avondale Estates) says she is shocked to learn that a school board member would seemingly favor something that could 'decimate' the school system. Annexation opponent Dawn Forman said Orson, as an elected board member, should be opposed t

Do These Families Feel "Welcomed" at DeKalb County's Schools?

Georgia counties where 50 or more unaccompanied minors were released from Jan. 1 through July, according to the Office of Refugee Resettlement in the U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services Administration for Children & Families. Cherokee County 65 Cobb County 138 DeKalb County 347 Fulton County 64 Gwinnett County 266 Hall County 85 WHO knows the truth about what is happening in our schools and how quickly are they acting to protect their own neighborhoods, drawing their own borders and leaving everyone else holding the education tab for the immigrant population THEY helped bring here?    Do the new city proponents claim to know anything about a city - school connection?  Or do they do the typical  political  double speak and merely deny, deny, deny?  WHAT do they know that they are not telling the rest of us?  WHO do they know and HOW will they benefit?  If you do not know the answers then you are probably on the losing end of someone else's big stick!
