Mayor “Transparency” Talbert Is a Bald-Faced Liar. City REFUSES Transparency on LEDC Economic Impact Study Paid For With City Funds

Remember when Misti sat there in a council meeting and blathered about how the City should be ALL about transparency for the citizens and taxpayers? HERE IS THE LINK and below is the quote:

“I feel like (City) staff and Council oughta be tasked with being accountable to answer on the spot…and..uh…I would be comfortable doing that….that’s transparency at its finest…is…you know…we don’t put off a question, we answer it on the spot”

You can listen for yourself at the 1:27:10 mark.

Well, Misti Talbert is a bald-faced liar. This is the SECOND time this year the City has refused me transparency on expenditure of City funds and instead hidden behind their overpriced lawyer, Jo-Christy Brown. [The first one is LINKED HERE].

So what is it this time? Why is the City AGAIN paying Jo-Christy Brown gobs of tax dollars to tell me to pound sand?

Well, it has to do with the ill-fated ‘business park’ and their attempts to get someone – anyone! – into that ‘park’ to show it isn’t a complete disaster and financial train wreck.

Enter Mike Cour of Eco-Strong. I have already gone into GREAT detail in a four-part series about why I think Mike Cour is a charlatan and slime ball offering nothing of value to the City. The first part of the series can be found below:

Somebody Has Some ‘Splaining To Do Regarding Eco-Strong, Mike Cour and the ‘Business’ Park Money Pit

So….Mandy Walsh and the LEDC are pinning their hopes on this Mike Cour idiot, but they need to somehow prove he’s the real deal – and they need to do this fast because they have the Langford Community Management Services people waiting on that information so they can file their grant application. The same application where Mandy and the LEDC tell a whopper of a lie that the City was “economically injured”, nay, devastated by the Wuhan Flu and deserve this million bucks from Uncle Sugar to paper over 15 years of fiscal mismanagement.

How to do this? How to prove that Eco-Strong is ‘legit’? Especially in light of my damning, deep-dive expose on Mike Cour and Eco-Strong?

Why, you pay up AGAIN and hire a supposedly independent “third party” to “analyze” Mike Cour and his pile of feces to see if you can polish it up. This third party is Impact DataSource…and their main business seems to be (in my opinion!) taking big checks from government to give an official-sounding ‘seal of approval’ to garbage businesses like Mike Cour and Eco-Strong. To polish the Eco-Turd, as it were.

Impact DataSource charged the City a $950 fee to “analyze” Eco-Turd and thus expunge its stench – giving it a false patina of reputability, in my opinion. Impact DataSource is supposed to polish Eco-Turd up nice and clean so it can be inserted into Langford Community Management Services CARES ACT grant – for which they are charging the City $7,500 and which was SUPPOSED to be submitted back on July 31st!!!

I have been requesting this impact report every single week for the last 3.5 months, hoping to catch it as soon as it was finished. Every single week, they tell me “there are no responsive documents to your request”. In other words, the study STILL wasn’t completed.

That all changed this week. Instead of telling me “no responsive documents”, they made me wait a full week and then have JC Brown send me this utter tripe about “proprietary information” as she kicked it up to the Texas State Attorney General to see if he agrees. This will take 30 days, of course.

Seems to me that if the City was as transparent as Misti pretends it to be, a simple photocopy of the “impact study” could be produced in a about 5 minutes and handed to me for the usual 10 cents a page.

But no. The City is ONCE AGAIN spending piles of money and refusing to disclose details. Luckily, one of the larger idiots on City council is now gone (Chuck Williamson) and another new member – Bob Goodart – has already made it very clear to me he thinks the ‘business’ park is a colossal waste of money.

Guess it’s time to call my lawyers AND Mr Goodart to get some answers from a very unwilling LEDC.

Stay tuned….

It Is Your Patriotic Duty To Refuse The ‘Holy Rag’

The Gesundheitsfuhrer of Virginia has just decreed – no law having been passed – that the Holy Rag must be worn in all indoor spaces beginning Sunday and also that the cattle may not gather in groups of 25 or more.

He intends to sic the Gesundheitspolizei on the “noncompliant.” Not wearing the Holy Rag, in other words, will become of more interest to the polizei than crime.

Because the cases! the cases!

Which brings up the case of Elon Musk – who claims to have tested positive . . . and negative . . . two times each on the same day.

“Same machine, same test, same nurse . . .”
“Something extremely bogus is going on,” he said.

Now Musk is many things but he’s not poor and so these tests – Rapid Antigen – were the top-shelf items administered by top-shelf medical people.

And they came back incoherent.

Which is one of the many problems with this manufactured pandemic of fear. It is premised on “cases” without symptoms, context or even accurate testing. This being the basis for imposing a breathtaking regime of dictatorial control.

Musk later Tweeted his suspicions that the “spike” in the cases! the cases! is likely due to the “cases” being based on what politeness might style bullshit:

“If it is happening to me, it’s happening to others” and – touching the third rail – “revenues from (these) tests are likely not bogus and very consistent.”

Indeed.

There is a great deal of money in the cases! the cases! – especially for the big corporations that are using them – or rather, using their tools in government, such as The Coonman in Virginia – to usher in a new round of lockdowns, which will mostly lockdown corporations’ competitors, the smaller independent retailers and so on that cannot afford to limit their customers to 25 at a time.

And we all know how hospitals are paid to report the cases! the cases! – each “case” amounting to a ka-ching of the cash register, giving them thousands of dollars’ of incentive to find as many “cases” as they can.

The cases! the cases! also enables the perpetuation of the appearance of sickness by making everyone appear sick or in dread of it via the wearing of the Holy Rag, which is a religious vestment by definition since a woolen neck scarf or old bandana or dust mask that has the same power to screen out viral particles that a chain link fence has to screen out mosquitos meets our oppressors’ criteria for a “face covering.”

Which reveals that the purpose is to cover our faces. To muzzle us. To make us look the same and make it appear we think the same.

We are being made to wear the coverings for the same reason a horse is made to wear the bit only it’s much more sinister because the bit isn’t meant to degrade the horse while the Holy Rag is intended to do precisely that, by forcing us to pretend we agree with the tenets of a deranged cult.

It’s not just money that’s in play this time.

It is everything.

The creatures behind the cases! the cases! are making their move – what may be their checkmate move. The cases! the cases! is the groundwork being laid for the suspension of everything and the imposition of everything.

It must be fought.

There must be mass refusal to wear the Holy Rag.

Refuse to accept being emotionally blackmailed by the emotionally unhinged. If you aren’t sick, do not accept that you are obliged to pretend you are sick to assuage the feelings of the mentally sick.

There must be mass defiance of lockdowns, personal as well as public. Prisons are “locked down.”

Businesses that refuse to close or enforce “mandates” must be supported by people willing to risk arrest, should it come to that.

Are you sick of this yet? Then do something about it!

Covid Cult God Spits In My Eye – But Point Remains True

No sooner had I pointed out we haven’t really had a Covid fatality in two months than we supposedly had a Covid fatality.

I say “supposedly” because we have absolutely no clue about how this poor 70-year-old guy actually passed away. Did he die WITH Covid or FROM Covid? Don’t forget hospitals have MASSIVE financial incentives to label everything they can as “Covid”. That is a fact.

Maybe he had a heart attack, stroke or kidney problems and happened to test positive for long-dead RNA fragments upon admission. Remember, a “case” is defined as a “positive PCR test” (amplified 42 times here in Texas) and is a meaningless metric. Covid exists in contagious form for about FIVE days but it can exist in DETECTABLE FORM for about SEVENTY-SEVEN DAYS!

We are NEVER filled in on any details at all by our Mayor – which allows scared rabbits to envision the absolute worst scenario and assume all of these deaths were healthy and robust souls struck down in their prime. Which is, of course, utter nonsense.

Supposedly this is our 12th fatality…but I very much question that number. Between all the “we don’t know the timeline” stuff and “he was in another county” stuff and the fact that the Covid Worldometer STILL has Lampasas County at NINE fatalities (where it has been stuck for THREE MONTHS), there is no reason to have much confidence in that “12 fatalities” number.

Throw in the incentive to label everything “Covid” and it’s quite possible that Lampasas County has only seen two or three deaths FROM Covid during this entire “deadly epidemic”.

But let’s say for argument’s sake that we HAVE had three whole deaths in the last three months – going back to August 18th. OK fine. Care to guess how many OTHER people have died in Lampasas County since August 18th?

I went through the Dispatch obituaries for the last three months to find out. Of course, some people may have also died and not had an obituary (meaning there are even MORE deaths than I’m counting), but we’ll go with the assumption that everyone did.

How many deaths did I find?

FORTY-SEVEN PEOPLE have passed away in Lampasas County in the last 3 months. Many of those were heartbreaking and tragic – including a newborn infant, a young woman in her 30s killed in a construction accident, a poor guy in his 50s who died of brain cancer and several other cancer deaths at a relatively young age.

The average age of death for those 47 people in the obit pages was 75.6 years old FAR younger than the average “Covid death” we have seen listed by our Mayor.

Did Misti get on Facebook and report those deaths and ask everyone to pray for their loved ones? No…she did not. Why not? Are those deaths less tragic? I would argue quite the opposite. So the only conclusion is that somehow a Covid death is “more important” than any other death for some odd reason.

This fits with the typical liberal practice of only looking at one side of any ledger. They tout all the supposed benefits of – for instance – eliminating student debt, but don’t mention who pays that cost.

Likewise, they wail and clutch their pearls over the death of an 83-year-old man (who just happened to weigh 300 pounds, have diabetes and a history of strokes) but they say nothing about the huge spike in suicides and overdoses in the tragically healthy and young population.

They post and urge prayers for one random person who died but not the 16 others who died in the same month in a far more tragic manner. Which begs the question: why the hell are you posting any of this at all? If it’s to reassure scared rabbits, it is having the opposite effect – drawing attention to a single death that may well have happened anyways.

If anything, they should be giving MORE information to soothe the scared rabbits...much like Burnet County did with their first Covid death. Remember this one??

Burnet County Judge James Oakley said the county’s first death was a 57-year-old woman who was a resident of Bertram Nursing Home. Judge Oakley said the death happened on the afternoon of May 26.

The woman had been bedridden with cardiovascular disease for an extended time and was paralyzed from a stroke, according to the judge. She was also a cigarette smoker. The woman died from rapid onset pneumonia and posthumously tested positive for COVID-19.

THAT is how you report. THAT is how you give an ACCURATE picture of the situation. This “a gentleman in his 70s” bullshit is worse than no information at all, because it lets the imaginations of scared rabbits and dummies fill in the many blanks.

Any bets on how long the weekly Covid reports will continue? Dec 31? The end of Misti’s mayoral term? Never??

NOBODY Has Died With Covid in Lampasas County (Population 22,000) In TWO MONTHS!

I started thinking how ridiculous the last few “fatalities” in our county were. Lots of “we don’t know the timeline” and “this gentleman died quite some time back”. So I decided to do a reality check. You know…to keep nitwits like Jane Lopez and Melissa Johnson and Chris McDaniel from becoming hysterical with panic. Here is an interesting way to look at the supposed fatalities. These are ALL taken DIRECTLY from Misti’s Facebook reporting:

August 18th: Total of 5 fatalities as of today. This was nearly three months ago.

August 24th: “There has a been a change to our fatality count from 5 to 7. Dr Hay explains that there are two fatalities quite some time back“. What a pile of shit. So it could have been back on July 1st or even in June. We have no idea. The ‘true’ fatality count since Aug 18th is thus unchanged.

August 26th: One more fatality. Zero details. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they died on Aug 24th. One death since Aug 18th.

September 7th: Another fatality (#9), which “occurred THREE weeks back” – which would be August 17th. No more details. Still ONE death since Aug 18th.

September 15th: Another fatality (#10) – but “timeline and information NOT available” according to Misti….which means this could have happened months ago!

October 9th: We lost a precious resident (#11) and he was a male in his 70s – BUT THE LOSS OCCURRED “ABOUT A MONTH AGO” – that would be September 9th. So we are now looking at 2 fatalities since August 18th.

November 14th: This is today. Looking back at the blue text colors, we can see only 2 deaths since August 17th. TWO deaths in THREE months in a county of 22,000 citizens and ZERO deaths in the last TWO MONTHS (since SEPTEMBER NINTH!) – and most of us have NOT been wearing masks.

I never wear a mask ANYWHERE. I have been in EIGHT different airports and on TEN different airplanes since February 28th….and never wore a mask except to walk past the gate agent. I never even washed my hands after taking a piss in the airport. I’ve been TRYING to catch this! My close friends are acting the same way. Result: nothing. We are all still alive and feeling fine.

You mask Nazis feeling stupid yet? Potato Head Steph? Dummy Melissa? Shitbird Lee Morey?

Just to repeat: using data from Misti’s very own Facebook feed, we have not had a fatality in a county of 22,000 citizens SINCE SEPTEMBER 9th!!! That is with most of us ignoring the mask bullshit AND school being in full session for the last THREE MONTHS!

Boy, you maskholes and scared rabbits are STUPID!

Scared Rabbits Start Shaking In Their Cages Over Seasonal Flu

Having waited…shaking in their cages since April, the scared Covid rabbits are all in a tizzy thinking the long-awaited “winter surge” is supposedly starting! That’s according to several Chicken Little/Scared Rabbits in town – like head rabbit and mask Nazi Melissa Johnson. Apparently some young kids have – gasp – TESTED POSITIVE!!

Of course it’s not going away! It’s WAY too good of a boogeyman to keep the morons and rabbits in fear and easy to control. These libtard worms NEVER let a crisis go to waste. Talk about a perfect boogeyman: an invisible “killer” that could be anywhere! You probably have it and don’t even know! The horror!!! Better listen to all of our mandates…or else! You could not dream up a better boogeyman if you tried.

These kids ‘tested positive’ on a ridiculously over-sensitive test that amplifies dead RNA fragments FORTY-TWO TIMES! These kids aren’t gasping for their last breath in the hospital. They aren’t dragging themselves to the ER. Most of them probably feel perfectly fine, because a “positive test” means NOTHING. Ask Nick Saban about that:

Nick Saban: I Feel Fine. Not Concerned About Covid

Nick Saban is 69 years old…and clearly NOT a pussy or a scared rabbit. Neither is Jack Nicklaus – who ALSO had Covid and is EIGHTY YEARS OLD. Luckily, he didn’t listen to morons like Stephanie Fitzharris and instead took HCQ to help him recover perfectly.

Oh no! A seasonal respiratory infection that tends to increase in the winter? And can be deadly to the elderly and infirm? You mean kind of like influenza?? Actually, Covid is FAR less dangerous than the flu to the under-70 crowd.

School kids are FAR more likely to die of influenza virus than Wuhan Flu. FACT.

So – the scared rabbits are quaking because some kids in school tested positive! You know – those exact same schools where they force everyone into masks, spend gobs of money of Plexiglas, gloves and Lysol, and don’t let little kids hold hands or share food. THOSE schools.

First of all, what does that tell you about all your precious precautions? It tells me they are useless against a tiny virus that is less than a micron in diameter.

The virus is gonna virus. You cannot stop it. These kids should be allowed to go about their day as they have for the last 250 years – mask-free. Let them build herd immunity. The virus IS NOT A THREAT to the under 20 crowd. NOT AT ALL.

For people like Melissa “Mask Nazi” Johnson and Jane Lopez who are incapable of reading graphs or comprehending basic math and stats, the above chart means this: for every 100 deaths that occur in the under-20 cohort (that means “group”, Melissa) there are NINETY-NINE that are NOT from Covid. That includes auto accidents, suicides, overdoses, falls, choking, cancer, etc.

Of course, all these stats assume we have had 225,000 Covid deaths – which anyone with a brain knows is a total bullshit number itself.

Some kids testing “positive” in the local schools means absolutely nothing. Get over it. If you are ELDERLY and/or morbidly obese, then you have some decisions to make and risks to weigh. Luckily, the ELDERLY aren’t in high school or even in the work place. They are mostly retired and can sit at home in their space suits all alone watching Wheel of Fortune until they die of heart disease if they are THAT scared.

Other, more rational elderly humans might decide that they are willing to take the small risk of dying a bit earlier while still enjoying a normal life. They might actually want to hug and be around their grand kids and feel that a slight increase in the risk of death is MORE than worth it. I know I would.

But those risks are up to THOSE AT-RISK PEOPLE to weigh. NOT for idiots like Melissa Johnson, Julie Landrum, Lee Morey, Hubert Humperdick or Christopher McDaniel to impose on you against your will.

Do NOT listen to the scared rabbits and the Chicken Littles. They have been wrong about this from the start. If they had their way, we’d all be in cages and in space suits since those are “totally safe”.

Fuck you, Melissa Johnson. I will NEVER trade freedom for a temporary false sense of security.

These People Are Sick, Sick Psychopaths

A document co-written by CIA InQTel Luciana Borio, recently appointed to Biden’s Covid-19 taskforce, recommends linking Covid-19 vaccination with food security and rent assistance.

Want to not be homeless or feed your family? Guess you’ll have to get an experimental vaccine.

You can read it here for those interested: https://centerforhealthsecurity.org/our-work/pubs_archive/pubs-pdfs/2020/200709-The-Publics-Role-in-COVID-19-Vaccination.pdf

Last March it was “two weeks to flatten the curve”. A year from now, it’ll be this bullshit. And useful idiots like Haywood, Johnson and Fitzharris will STILL be fellating Big Brother and asking “what’s the big deal? Don’t you care about others?”

Morons, all.

Motorola Taking Big Bite Of Taxpayer Ass. Again.

This week, City council unanimously approved the expenditure of $409,422 for a new radio system for the police department. Seems like an insane amount of money to me. It’s ACTUALLY a lot more. The REAL total cost is $663,371. The difference in price is covered by a grant from Central Texas Council of Governments.

It seemed like I had seen this movie before, so I searched the Dispatch archives.

Sure enough, Motorola was in the news back in October and November of 2018 but this time with the Sheriff’s department. At issue there was a $500,000 Motorola radio system and the county was waiting to hear if they would get a grant for part of that.

Seems weird that we need TWO separate half-million-dollar systems to cover essentially the same area. If the sheriff system covers the entire county, shouldn’t that system also, by definition, cover the City as well? We can’t do a piggy-back thing?

Motorola really cleans up around here! I wonder if ANY of this stuff is ever put out for bid.

Turns out, Motorola has a near-monopoly on on fire, police and EMS radio! You know what monopolies mean: ridiculously high prices and shitty service.

But there ARE competitors – like Harris Corp. In fact, when Sedgwick County (Kansas) went with a competitor, it SAVED MILLIONS. Perhaps Lampasas should look into competitors now and then? Instead of the usual 7-0 unanimous votes to pay whatever the Motorola piper demands?

Did City council even LOOK INTO Harris Corp? Or is this a replay of the no-bid Azbell A/V system ripoff and the RKJ Construction elevator ripoff and the $180,000 no-bid bathroom ripoff?

[Read about Motorola’s scumbaggery and shenanigans HERE]

It might even behoove City council to wait a year or two and see if the current move towards two-way radio cell phones destroys Motorola’s near-monopoly on police radios. It’s conceivable that a similar system could be had for $200k in a few years. Perhaps even less!

Here are some other City expenditures with Motorola:

July 2012: City council approves the $54,479 purchase of a Motorola MIP 5000 console and 13 portable radios with chargers, to be used by police patrol officers.

November 2015: Approved the purchase of a replacement MIP 5000 radio console for police department dispatching. The cost through Motorola Solutions is $26,606.

Gee – they spend $54,479 on a brand new console in 2012 and then need another one in 2015? They spilling coffee on these things?

April 2019: The council voted 7-0 for an agreement that will allow the city to use radio communication equipment installed on a tower used by several nearby entities. In March 2017, Lampasas gave Burnet County about
an acre for a radio communication tower at the former city landfill on Old
Georgetown Road. Because of the land donation, the Western Regional Radio System — comprised of Burnet, Blanco and Llano counties, as well as the city of Marble Falls — is allowing Lampasas to use the tower at no cost. That provides significant savings, the assistant city manager said, as the usual charge is $15-$18 per month per radio.

Use of the Western Regional Radio System equipment, Cox said, will give Lampasas’ public safety departments better radio coverage inside buildings and will improve communications with nearby agencies.

Ooohhh…better radio coverage! This was all of 18 months ago. What happened to THAT deal that Gary Cox (RIP!) negotiated for the City?

Weird how the price of a 70″ TV has dropped from like $10,000 to $500 over the last decade and every other electronic gizmo/computer/camera plummets in price over time. But when it comes to GOVERNMENT prices for radio (which has been around OVER A CENTURY!), the price is outrageous.

Probably just a coincidence that all these electronics places (*cough* Azbell Electronics*cough*) seem to jam it up the government’s butt with higher and higher prices while prices plummet for the rest of us.

Yeah, that’s it. A coincidence.

This Is Nauseating

These are kids in the prime of their life. Cheerleaders for an awesome football team in a small town. These are the days you look back on fondly – and ignorant morons are forcing them into masks like some ass-backwards, third-world shit hole run by the Ayatolla Khomeini. What’s next? Full burkas?

One of two things is going to happen in 20 years:

1. These kids are going to look at these photos and say “holy shit! I can’t believe how stupid everyone was back then, overreacting like that” – and laugh at it the way our parents laughed at photos of them in bell bottoms.

2. They are STILL going to be wearing masks as brainwashed zombies while THEIR kids are in full spacesuits….STILL awaiting that “huge surge in deaths” that we’ve been “waiting two weeks for” since April 2020.

I’ll be 70 years old and considered that “crazy old guy who thinks he doesn’t need a spacesuit to survive” out on the edges of town. Or I’ll be dead by the hand of Big Gov for daring not to go along.

I hope the morons making these kids hide their unclean mouths are also taking away the car keys of every single kid – because they are 17 TIMES MORE LIKELY to die of other causes.

P.S. I’m shocked that high school kids today are such obedient drones. When I was in high school, it was all about rebellion. Kids ditched school, smoked cigarettes and got their ears pierced or their hair dyed. No way we would have put up with this absolute nonsense. My acne was bad enough WITHOUT a filthy diaper rubbing my face all day.

I guess that’s what you get with a generation of kids who grew up brainwashed by social media, Facebook and other propaganda outlets.

Another Covid Rat Crawls Out And Squeaks

Julie Cain Landrum has a fellow Covid Rat to nibble cheese with now. I give you Christopher McDaniel. Instead of having a pair of balls between his legs and saying something to this poor bastard about ‘jeopardizing the health of his customers’ (LOL!), he chooses to blast it all over LCBN like a pussy instead:

Hey Chris? Why don’t you and Landrum and all the other scared rabbits just go on Amazon and purchase a full Tyvek suit so you never have to worry about any of this bullshit and leave the rest of us alone? I’m beeing 100% serious here. Go buy a spacesuit, asswipe. What is stopping you? Are you afraid you’ll look stupid? Well, you’ve done that to yourself already with this post.

Clearly you are too moronic to read the facts and learn that this “deadly plague” is no worse than the flu for those under 70. If you are OVER that age and obese, then you are at higher risk: so be a big boy and take measures for yourself by putting a spacesuit on. Don’t cry like a bitch that everyone else needs to wear a face diaper.

That advice also goes for scared rabbits who ride motorcycles, like Lee Morey – who is cut from the Melissa Johnson mold and wants to signal his virtue to us all and let us know how much he cares about everyone else:

Lee is super, duper worried about his health…that’s why he rides motorcycles! The most dangerous form of transportation. You DO wear a helmet, right Lee?

So Lee – who rides motorcycles and appears 50 pounds overweight – is NOW worried about his health! But he doesn’t want to inconvenience HIMSELF by driving a car or losing 50 pounds of blubber! No, no, no – that would be taking responsibility and doing some real work. He’d rather bitch at YOU for not wearing a mask. A mask that is completely ineffective against aerosolized viruses. Not to mention the virus is no more dangerous than the flu.

Pardon my French, but you are a hypocritical piece of shit, Lee. You remind me of the annoying Karens who spit 4 kids out of their loins, drive an SUV and then bitch at me about plastic straws because “she cares about the environment”. You are the EXACT same type of “bitch with a capital C.”

Much like Bruce Haywood, Lee is almost GIDDY at the prospect of a national mask mandate. It gives him an erection:

LOL! National mask mandates are funny! Having a bunch of power-hungry lunatics in charge and forcing you to wear a useless face diaper to control you is a big fat belly laugh, eh Lee?

You know what makes ME laugh? The thought of you splattered all over the road after hitting an oil slick on wet pavement. Really makes me giggle.
