No More State Money For the San Fran on the Cumberland

Nashville’s far left mayor and city council are working overtime to be the San Francisco of the South.

“Our Revolution – Nashville & Mid TN” is intimately involved trying to spread the insurrection and overthrow of Nashville outward. They endorsed and helped get elected former American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC) and socialist, Zulfat Suara, to the Metro Nashville Council.

While Suara was leading AMAC, her former co-chair and AMAC co-founder Daoud Abudiab was leading TIRRC (TN Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition), and both groups joined with Black Lives Matter to “strategize, dream and build [their] movement for 2016.”

And there is very little in their way to stop Nashville’s full transformation.

In fact, a legitimate argument can be made that Bill Lee and his leadership SNAFUs is abetting Nashville’s agenda.

For starters, when Tennessee’s COVID lockdowns began, Bill Lee decided to give Nashville’s far left mayor free reign to do whatever he wanted. Predictably, Mayor Cooper followed other Democrat run cities and put Nashville on a seemingly perpetual lockdown.

Except of course when it was time to host a mass protest and invite all elected officials to attend – no social distancing required!

Cooper was cautioned by other leaders that similar protests in other blue cities had in short order, turned violent and destructive. Neither Cooper nor Metro police were prepared for the inevitable which wasn’t hard to predict especially since the Metro police department has been effectively neutered and is now under the thumb of the anti-police-pro-open-borders special interest groups running the Community Oversight Board (COB).

AMAC was an aggressive proponent of the charter amendment that made the anti-police COB a formal and $1 million dollar funded arm of the Metro Nashville government. AMAC board member Drost Kokoye was a lead organizer against police while she attended UT Knoxville.

Cop haters policing the police combined with low pay has put Metro’s police force at over a 100 person deficit.

Protest organizer Prophetess Venita Lewis admitted that the violence, and wanton destruction is “happening all across the county. The protests are not gonna end peacefully” and that “the rioting will not stop when associated with Floyd’s death.”

Bill Lee stood back and watched while Nashville was looted and burned waiting until Cooper asked for help.

In November 2019, the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office reviewed and rejected Nashville’s budget, threatening to take over if the city couldn’t figure out how to address the years of irresponsible over-spending. According to the Comptroller, “Metro’s expenses have outpaced the city’s revenue growth since 2013, according to Wilson. To accommodate those increasing expenses, city leaders have been depleting Metro’s available cash and reserve funds, which are down 24% and 16% respectively.”

Then came the March tornadoes and COVID followed by the BLM protest turned riot.

Between 2015 and 2020, the state has given Metro Nashville $99,581,919 in fast track economic development grants. In 2017 and 2018, the state rewarded the out-of-control and irresponsible spending and illegal-alien-protectionist government in Davidson County with over $28 million dollars to recruit Philips North America and Alliance Bernstein.

Cooper’s 32% property tax increase isn’t going to exempt people who’ve been and may still be out of work since his COVID lockdown started. Nor will it exempt people whose home or business was destroyed by the tornadoes. Nor is Cooper’s tax increase going to exempt the 30 business owners whose properties were vandalized by the protest rioters.

Is there any rational reason that any more state economic development funding should be given to Nashville? Does spending more state tax dollars to help the San Fran on the Cumberland benefit the state in any conceivable way?

No. But the decision to steer the economic development money to Nashville comes from the administration, not the legislature.

So San Fran on the Cumberland probably has nothing to worry about. Remember, the state’s chief executive officer, aka, the governor, had no problem sending money to the campaigns of leftists Megan Barry, Karl Dean and Phil Bredesen or rushing to meet with AMAC.

The Hypocrisy Of Muslims That Support Black Lives Matter

 

America’s melting pot is boiling and about to spill over. So who are those stirring it? What groups are turning up the heat? Everyday a new organization joins the “resistance” to push the country in a direction far from its original course. On October 28, 2017 in Shelbyville and Murfreesboro TN, White Lives Matter and other groups will be holding a rally, with counter protests that may all  incite violence. But what about those attending who claim to be peaceful, and only want to express their disapproval and condemnation against hate? Nonsense.

Do those same “peaceful protesters” attend Antifa or BLM rallies to condemn what they stand for?  No they do not. Why? Many of those “peaceful protesters”, including the founder of “Murfreesboro Loves”, Abdou Kattih, are from the Islamic communities of Shelbyville and Murfreesboro who actually support groups like Black Lives Matter, the same BLM individuals that caused chaos with their riots in Ferguson and Baltimore. The same BLM that marched in NYC chanting “what do we want? dead cops”.  

 

 

 

 

But the “peaceful” Muslims support black lives matter. Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on America Islamic Relations (CAIR) aka Hamas, who has visited the Murfreesboro mosque on several occasions admits “their cause is our cause”

 Abdou Kattih, a leader in the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro is urging those who are against hate to attend this potentially explosive event on Oct 28, so they can experience the hate he and his community go through everyday. Nice try Mr. Kattih, try as you might, the victim card is old. However, it is really disgraceful Kattih is urging residents of Murfreesboro to attend this just so he feels vindicated, especially since his community supports BLM.

 The same Muslims preaching love are supporting those who hate. Don’t be baited into attending an event where violence is most likely to occur just to prove a point. This isn’t the time to declare your turf, stay home and give law enforcement one less person to try to protect, and certainly don’t attend to support those who claim to be peaceful yet support those who are not.

 

 

Below is a breakdown of who’s who in the fight, so far.

Groups building a new mass civil rights movement, embracing those to be considered “marginalized” or oppressed. 

Black lives matter– believes in “creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive.” While their main goal is to preserve the black culture, donations from white billionaires, specifically George Soros, has pushed them to promote “globalism, queer affirming, diversity and restorative justice.” 

BAMN- By Any Means Necessary.   “An organization in which black, Latina/o, Native American, Asian Pacific American, Arab American, and other minority leaders play a full and prominent role. BAMN is committed to making real the ideal of “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” But democracy, too, must be a sham as long as the fundamental inequalities of poverty, racism, and sexism deform the relations of political power along with access to educational and economic opportunities. Here again, America can only become what it should be through a national policy of affirmative action.

It’s Going Down-  a “digital community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action.” Claiming they do not participate in actions, but rather provide social media support and promotion of events is not true, as they are organizing to stop a White Lives Matter rally in Shelbyville TN on Oct 28, 2017.

Group(s) Claiming to be anti-fascists, are anti-capitalism, often promoting and inciting violence

Antifa–    A subset of the anarchist movement and focus on issues involving racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism, as well as other perceived injustices. Antifa has used violence repeatedly  including property damage and physical violence. Local chapters, including Nashville and Knoxville are said to be participating in the Oct 28 counter protests. 

 

Groups believing in White Supremacy, White Nationalism

White Lives Matter-  white supremacy

The Nationalist Front – “The Nationalist Front is an umbrella organization to bring unity and solidarity to the White Nationalist movement in North America. This is an alliance between many diverse organizations which seek to better the cultural, economic, and demographic conditions of White Americans.”

National Socialist Movement- According to their website, they are the largest Nazi party operating in the U.S today,  based in Minneapolis.

We will add more as information becomes available.

University of Tennessee at Martin Hosts Black Lives Matter

America’s melting pot is about to boil over, and college campuses are turning the flame up to high, with little or no regard to the consequences that may occur. At a time when the racial division is at an all time peak, the University of Tennessee at Martin, located in rural Western Tennessee is playing host to ” Social Justice in the Age of Black Lives Matter”, a conference being held February 16th, and the 19th-24th.

Although this is an annual event, this year brings with it some guest speakers and a movie that could be labeled aggressive and agitative. Once again, an opportunity to use a platform to help heal wounds  and move communities from the anger and violence it has experienced is passed over.

One of the first events is the showing of  “13th”, an inflammatory documentary promoting anti-police rhetoric, fueled with angry opinions on the criminal justice system, oppression, and their allegations of slavery.

 The conference will also highlight speakers such as Kwame Rose, a young black man who earned his few minutes of fame  during the riots in Baltimore, and the extreme radical activist Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson. Henderson, a member and organizer with Concerned Citizens for Justice and a board member of the Highlander Education and Research Center (formerly the Highlander Folk School) brings a plethora of social justice experience including organizing Black Lives Matter marches in Ferguson, and her fight on the coal industry in Tennessee. Back up..the Highlander Education and Research Center? Formerly known as the Highlander Folk School, it is interesting to note that institutions background with Communism. 

Once again, it all comes full circle as we see young black activists being recruited by Communists, Socialists and Islamists, including George Soros and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Soros donating $500,000 to the Black Lives Matter movement, and CAIR exclaiming the Black Lives Matter is their matter.

 

It is disturbing to see a Tennessee State University use their resources to promote what could be a training session for upcoming protests  against America. Creating an environment where whiteness is evil, shaping young minds to believe they are slaves, and pushing an anti-American agenda.

As taxpayers of Tennessee, there should be two questions to ask. Who is paying for this conference?  Listed on the conference poster for more information is an email address for the university, not an organization..the university.

In today’s political climate ,universities should be a place for fair and balanced debates and conversations. As we have seen though, that has not been the case. Were invitations extended to esteemed black leaders such as Dr. Carol Swain, Dr. Ben Carson, or retired Colonel Allen West? Doubtful, as the environment across campuses nationwide leans towards political correctness and anti American sentiment.

Show your displeasure by contacting administrators at UT Martin.
