The city of Greensboro's outstanding new police chief, Brian James, issued a call this week for an end to the violence resulting in so many black lives being taken locally. We had seven killings over the last week. He ironically made this call several weeks after his officers had been handing out water bottles to those protesting against police-- whereupon riots, rampant vandalism, looting and arson spread across the city like a cancer, unopposed.
Indeed, all the lawlessness nationwide occurred in response to one black life being taken by police in Minneapolis. Since then, many black lives have been taken by other African-Americans, including children in several large cities. In Greensboro, we are located more than 1,100 miles from Minnesota; and the number of black lives taken here by violent crime far exceeds the single life taken during that incident.
WFMY reported last fall that Greensboro is one of the deadliest cities in the country because of its violent crime. Last year, we had a record year for homicides.
There are two mutually exclusive messages being disseminated by the local black community and the local media/left complex, including city government.
Back in September, family members of those killed made an emotional plea before the city council to do something about the terrible crime we have here. Some are very upset by all the crime.
Various statements were made blaming a lack of jobs and housing and the like-- back when the economy was roaring.
But the prevailing message coming from the black community and the media/left complex is that the police are the problem. They therefore must be undermined and hamstrung, according to that point of view. The radical leftist city government we have in Greensboro shares that view; and has gleefully acquiesced.
After the riots, downtown businesses were boarded up with plywood. Some locals began to cover these boarded-up businesses with graffiti and "street art"-- a testimony to a declining city. Now some enlightened locals are seeking to preserve those "murals".
Nancy Vaughan is a profoundly foolish woman who has spent several years, together with the city council, blocking legitimate efforts at law enforcement. A reporter at Triad City Beat several years ago fed a story to the New York Times that resulted in proactive policing being abandoned.
Meanwhile, the city tries to figure out what to do about crime; and stands idly by while many young black lives are taken. They go through the motions of trying to find a solution.
They even enacted a questionable program that represents a massive political conflict of interest, shoveling monies toward a non-profit headed by Mayor Pro Tem Yvonne Johnson. That is our corrupt local machine politics at work.
Meanwhile, prudent citizens are weighing the best way to leave the city as it wallows in self-destructive dysfunction. They cannot help but note that widespread lawlessness was tolerated because one black life was taken 1,100 miles away; but nothing effective is being permitted here in response to the many young black lives killed within our own city. It is a charade... a fraud. We are now reaping the consequences of the political path that has been chosen.
And that does not even begin to consider the huge number of black lives taken at the Randleman Rd. abortion clinic that the city has been so eagerly protecting. Our local government is evil.

Al Pisano, the Constitution Party gubernatorial candidate, explained recently why he believes that Governor Cooper should be impeached and removed from office.
Today, Pisano and the entire executive committee of the state Constitution Party sent proposed impeachment articles to North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore. Copies were also sent to Phil Berger, Dan Forest and the governor. The party called upon Governor Cooper to resign his position. Further information is found here.
It is now up to the Republicans in the state House as to whether impeachment will be pursued. It is the only effective action they can take to reverse all that Cooper has inflicted on the state. While impeachment and removal are eminently justified, the Republicans must demonstrate principle and conviction and determination in order to pursue it.
They cannot count on Dan Forest's litigation succeeding when the socialists control the North Carolina Supreme Court.
The proposed impeachment articles are as follows:
Whereas the Governor, Roy Asberry Cooper III, on the Seventeenth Day of January in the Year of our Lord Two Thousand and Seventeen did take the oath for the office of Governor of the State of North Carolina, as required by the North Carolina State Constitution, Article 3 section 4.
Article 3 section 4.
(Oath of office for Governor. The Governor, before entering upon the duties of his office, shall, before any Justice of the Supreme Court, take an oath or affirmation that he will support the Constitution and laws of the United States and of the State of North Carolina, and that he will faithfully perform the duties pertaining to the office of governor.)
Whereas Governor, Roy Asberry Cooper III, did violate his oath of office as defined in the North Carolina State Constitution under Article 6 section 7. by acting outside of his constitutionally described authority through the enacting and abuse of executive orders that violate the principles of said Constitution & the Bill of Rights. Principles that were enshrined to protect the rights and liberties of the people by restraining the arbitrary & capricious application of laws which violate said rights and liberties.
Article 6 section 7
Oath. Before entering upon the duties of an office, a person elected or appointed to the office shall take and subscribe the following oath: "I, _______________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and maintain the Constitution and laws of the United States, and the Constitution and laws of North Carolina not inconsistent therewith, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of my office as _______________, so help me God."
Whereas Governor, Roy Asberry Cooper III, usurped the rights of the people with his executive orders violating the Constitution of the United States of America by denying the People as a whole and specifically, certain groups of citizens their rights, as guaranteed under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
He has denied the people their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble in order to protest the implementation of his executive orders, and by executive order, prohibiting the people from exercising their freedom of religion by denying the people’s ability to attend worship services under penalty of law.
He has denied the people their civil rights, by executive orders, as guaranteed under the Fourteenth Amendment, article 1 “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”…

He has denied the people their rights to own and operate a business by declaring certain businesses as essential and others non- essential. He has done this in an arbitrary and capricious manner without due process of law. Thus, taking on the role of a dictator and not an elected governor that is bound by the rule of law.
Whereas Governor, Roy Asberry Cooper III, usurped the rights of the people with his executive orders that violates Article 1 Section 7 of the North Carolina State Constitution.
Sec. 7. Suspending laws. All power of suspending laws or the execution of laws by any authority, without the consent of the representatives of the people, is injurious to their rights and shall not be exercised.

Sec. 12. Right of assembly and petition. “The people have a right to assemble together to consult for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to the General Assembly for redress of grievances;”…

Sec. 13. Religious liberty. All persons have a natural and inalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the dictates of their own consciences, and no human authority shall, in any case whatever, control or interfere with the rights of conscience.
He has prohibited the people from exercising their freedom of religion by denying the people’s ability to attend worship services under penalty of law.
Whereas US District Court Justice James C. Dever III Referencing EO 138 in BEREAN BAPTIST Church, RETURN AMERICA, INC.,DR. RONNIE BAITY, and PEOPLE'S BAPTIST Church, INC. v. GOVERNOR ROY A. COOPER said ”The Governor cannot treat religious worship as a world apart from non-religious activities with no good, or more importantly, constitutional explanation.”

He has denied through his executive order the rights of families, friends and associates to be present at the burial sites of their loved ones. A heartless and cruel act. This action is especially egregious and cruel when it comes to the burials of military veterans. His actions denied military honor burials for numerous veterans who served their country with honor and distinction and denied the families the ability to be grave side for their deceased loved one’s internment. He has done this while permitting the memorial service of George Floyd to be held with full attendance disregarding his own executive orders that barred memorial services with large attendance of others.
He has through his executive orders denied the people their right to travel about freely in their normal day to day activities, he has required that the people, in order to function and operate in society must adhere to wearing certain types of face masks or else face a penalty, thus reducing free people to the status of chattel.

He has accomplished this by eliminating venues that would attract mass numbers of people for candidates to attend.
He continues to conduct televised and radio interviews without any restriction, thus allowing himself to be the main voice to be heard by the people. while severely limiting the ability for other candidates to campaign and for the voters to hear other candidate’s ideas, policies and solutions.

A number of articles have circulated detailing the numerous corporate entities helping to fund Black Lives Matter (BLM). We also need to understand to what extent other parties fund BLM and Antifa such as George Soros and his organizations; the Ford Foundation; the Rockefeller Foundation and other entities.
It should be noted that BLM and Antifa are not the only radical leftist organizations engaging in illegal activities during the riots and civil unrest. There are others.
Overall, more seems to be known about the funding of BLM than the funding of Antifa. Check out these two articles. I have seen reported online that the web has been used to recruit rioters, including but not limited to Craigslist; and business entities have formed that specialize in drumming up crowds and passing along payments to participants.
The extent of corporate bandwagon-jumping to support BLM and bail out rioters is yet another piece of evidence that large portions of that sphere have gone absolutely bonkers. Perhaps some are responding to extortionary demands and blackmail.
We have seen awful things take place in cities and even small towns across the country-- arson; severe vandalism; looting; violent assaults against police and others, including shootings and murders; various threats; overt intimidation; and desecration of memorials and monuments. Again, there is extortion and blackmail. If you don't do this, we will do that.
Nearly all of these activities are illegal. There is substantial reason to believe they are being orchestrated to foster Marxist revolution. They are attempting to revoke what little remains of our constitution.
Donald Trump and William Barr talk a good game. But it has taken over three years to get to the bottom of the attempted coup against Trump, which has had various manifestations. We still have not seen indictments or prosecutions on those matters.
But Trump and Barr need to go after the chief donors to these radical leftist organizations sowing insurrection and violence. George Soros is a sacred cow to the media/left complex; but he ought to be held accountable if the reports are true. He apparently maintains a dual citizenship in Hungary and the US. For all of these donors, they ought to be charged and prosecuted as criminals; but civil charges must be considered also if criminal convictions cannot be obtained.
If you want to stop these organizations, you have to make it clear that it is illegal to fund them. You need to know who the donors are, and go after them.

This is an incredibly dark time in the history of North Carolina. The rights of citizens have been taken away summarily in a dictatorial manner by our governor, with the assent of the political class in Raleigh. Criminal agitators control the streets and shut down interstate highways, steal, set fires, vandalize businesses and destroy monuments to our history. And Roy Cooper allows them to do so.
One man decided to draw up articles of impeachment against Governor Cooper this week. And when he did his research, he found that Cooper has taken away NUMEROUS constitutional rights, broken various laws, and violated his oath of office.
This gentleman is Al Pisano, the gubernatorial candidate for the Constitution Party of North Carolina. During a Facebook Live video tonight, he described his proposed articles of impeachment in detail, and communicated them in a convincing, emphatic manner. He said he plans to submit these to the North Carolina General Assembly. He is critical of Dan Forest's mostly passive approach on these matters; and his inaction over a prolonged period of time even though citizens' rights were blatantly violated.
Begin watching at approximately the 40:00 mark in order to hear his discussion regarding the proposed articles of impeachment:
