Blacks Law / Moorish Law Dealing With the Courts pt1

CNN, AJC, MSNBC, ABC, WSBTV, Alanta World, ETC., "Did they Cover the 10 Blacks Arrested." If NOT why not?

December 27, 2010  Is these arrests "NOT" Important News?  

Or is there a hidden hand to keep this SECRET in the STATE of GEORGIA?

Hello America!  The Quitman Ten was arrested on December 21, 2010.  Please Google "Quitman Ten Arrested for Voter Fraud by GBI at the request of Attorney David Miller, and others"  Did you see any investigative reporting by CNN, AJC, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, WSBTV, Atlanta World etc., and Now if you cannot find anything about it in these Major News Media Outlets?  Don't Feel bad....you see there are those who completely understand that "When truth comes into the minds of those that seek truth all falsehood must vanish and falsehood is forever a vanishing thing."
 http://kvci.blogspot.com


Therefore some would keep you forever ignorant.  Why?  Because they know when truth comes; falsehood must vanish, and that falsehood is forever a vanishing thing.  Moreover Jesus said and ye shall know the truth; and that the truth; would set and make us free.  Therefore WE must understand that soon we will have no FREE PRESSES and no FREEDOM of THE PRESS.  All because we buried our heads in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich bird.  Just keeping it real!

Quitman Ten Protest Rally and Follow=Up, Jan 1, March Planned In Quitman,,,,more to follow ....

December  23, 2010, SUBJECT:  UPDATE FOLLOWING PROTEST MARCH IN QUITMAN

TO:  All Members of the Press, Editors, Local Elected Officials and Beyond 
By Minister Floyd Rose, (229-444-1938) 

Not since the 1960's have I seen a community rise up to say, "enough is enough," so quickly, so loudly, and so forcefully. It took place last night, December 22, 2010 at the Bethel AME Church in Quitman, Georgia. Ten of the city's finest citizens had been arrested and charged with voter fraud, including the sitting black school board member, and the two newly elected black members, which gives the blacks the majority for the first time in the history of Brooks County. It was an election in which white candidates spent an estimated $100,000 to hold on to two seats on the school board, which makes you wonder. The charges are bogus and everybody knows it. 

The people who were arrested are among the most respected in both the city and county. For them, it was a Rosa Parks moment.

Preachers crowded the pulpit, every seat was filled, and people were standing around the walls. It was the largest crowd to ever assemble for a protest rally in the history of Brooks County and South Georgia.

We will return to Bethel on January 1, 2011 (New Years Day) at 10:00 A.M., and we'll take our protest March to the streets, marching from the church to the Court House. We expect an even larger crowd, as interest and enthusiasm mount surrounding this sad but Historical Event. 

Except for channel 10, WALB, the press was conspicuously absent. As George Boston Rhynes has often published that this pattern and practice of keeping  citizens deaf; dumb,; and blind to the times in South Georgia must come to an end.  Moreover the failure of news media outlets to provide adequate coverage of important events are the same as it was in Montgomery Alabama in 1955.  The local press first tried to ignore the boycott and then won!

Quitman Ten News Release, Rally At Local Church, SCLC, and Concerned Citizens....

December 23, 2010


 Is Georgia News Media Giving Adequate Coverage of this Story?

TO:  All Members of the Press, Elected Officials, And Concerned Citizens and Beyond

Contact Person:  SCLC President Floyd Rose at 229-444-1938, Program Person

First there was the "Little Rock Nine" in 1957, then the "Jena 6" in 2006, then the “Valdosta 15” in 2005, and now we have the "Quitman Ten" in 2010. 

Initial Television Coverage of the Arrest and GBI’s Action, along with Attorney David Miller’s Request for the investigation,

So TONIGHT because of the seriousness of what happened in Quitman yesterday, thousands should meet us tonight at Bethel A.M.E. Church, 1203 South Court Street in Quitman, Georgia, 31643 at 7:00 P.M. tonight, be there.

All concerned FREEDOM FIGHTERS will converge on December 23, 2010 to protest the arrest of ten of Quitman's most highly respected African American citizens, including Diane Thomas, and Linda Troutman, who were recently elected to the Brooks County School Board of Education, unseating WHITES who had held the seats in this predominately Black school district for years without QUESTION or CONTROVERSY. http://kvci.blogspot.com/

The charges stem from allegations of voter irregularities in the primary election in July.  However, they were not arrested until the Board of Elections had certified the election and declared them winners in the general election in November, and just prior to the time when they would take office in early January.

What is at stake is the quality of education for the African American students in this South Georgia County, whose school population is overwhelmingly Black.

The Valdosta-Lowndes County chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference believes that the charges and arrests were all designed to cover up allegations of, not only RACIAL DISCRIMINATION in the HIRING PRACTICES of Brooks County's largest employer, but the misuse of funds; along with a need for certain Whites to remain in power over the majority.

Join us TONIGHT to hear and learn more about the "Quitman Ten" and their quest for justice in this small southern town.  We are not who we claim to be in this STRUGGLE for equal JUSTICE, but WHO we prove ourselves to be; over a given period of time. For more concerning “The Quitman 10” contact Minister Floyd Rose 229-44-1938, and visit  http://kvci.blogspot.com/2010/12/round-up-of-blacks-in-quitman-news.html

Quitman Ten, (Arrest) Brooks County 12, (Week of Terror) Valdosta 15, Valdosta-Lowndes County 30, (Jail Deaths)


December 21, 2010

The arrest of ten Black African Americans in Quitman, Georgia just four days before Christmas by the GBI and David Millers Request for an investigation seems somewhat strange to outsiders.  

-----  However, regardless of what today’s Patriots and Christians claim in the media; the truth about t the Southern Judicial Circuit wherein Americans come expecting to receive justice under the law are often disappointed.

-----Moreover “HISTORY” is the best teacher and truth maintainer. Therefore we cannot depend on the words from the lips of today's "Patriots and Christians." Many of whom were converted following the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.  And though some wish to removed this “Historical Fact” but it cannot be removed NOT even by Americans self-proclaimed followers of the Christ or the by the Wicked World Historians.

-----So where is “GEORGIA’S Bar of Justice" when it comes to the following Historical Facts and equal treatment under the law for all human beings?  Are they aware of the many UNRESOLVED and have they considered Luke 4:18, and Galatians 5:6? 

I.  INTRODUCTION:  Let the Brooks Record of Brooks County Speak for itself: 

(1)  The Brooks County 10 of 2010,

(2)  The Brooks County 12 (Murders) known as “The Week of Terror” in 1918 by White MOBSTERS,

(3) The Valdosta 15, (Arrested at City Council Meeting) May 5, 2005

(4)  The Valdosta-Lowndes County 30 (Jail Deaths, 1989-2009)

* Concerned Citizens must understand that “TRUTH” cannot be buried or hidden beneath the rubbish pile of time and destiny for ever.  The God of our FOREFATHERS has a way of making Luke 4:18 and Galatians 6:7 become a reality in our times.

II.  The Brooks County Ten of 2010:

1.  Angela Bryant.
2.  April Proctor,
3.  Elizabeth Thomas,

10.  Sandra Cody,

III.  The Brooks/Lowndes County 12, (1918) UNSOLVED MURDERS!
1: WILL HEAD, MOB VICTIM

9: [The eight month old Fetus] VICTIM
10: Chine Riley, VICTIM
11: Simon Schuman VICTIM
12: Sidney Johnson

Valdosta City Charter of 1860 that was relunctantly removed in 2004 from Valdosta City Hall that read in Para 100: Section XI,

“The Mayor and Council, they shall pass all proper and necessary laws and ordinances for the control of slaves and free persons of color in said town and suppress and abate all nuisances arriving from hogs, dogs, horses, or other stock straying at large in said town, or from other causes.”

Mistreatment of Blacks is not new for Blacks in “Brooks County Georgia”  The following Blacks were murdered in May 1918 and nothing has been done in the Southern Jurisdiction to find the murderers.  These arrests just may reveal the truth and resurrect what happened to the following Blacks in this home of The (NOW) Brooks County ten.”

Round-UP of Blacks In Quitman News Media Is Reporting on Television, GBI, Brooks County Voters!

PEOPLE ARE NOW GATHERED AT THE JAIL AND DETENTION CENTER RIGHT NOW!

TO:  Georgia, and  National News Papers, TV, DOJ, and Other Editors Including Radio Talk, Civil Rights Organizations, Local Churches

SUBJECT:  South Georgia GBI; “Roundup of Blacks In Quitman”
http://www.wctv.tv/news/headlines/Brooks_County_Roundup_Targets_Voter_Fraud_112254164.html
http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?S=13719790

At 8:30 AM, I began receiving phone calls from Quitman, Georgia (229-251-2645, 229-563-2396) in the County of Brooks where the County Sheriffs Office was arresting citizens at random concerning the recent Absentee Ballot Problems.   This included alleged actions by the GBI Investigators that local citizens complained about intimidation before, during and after the election.  However little or no Public Media Attention was given to alleged Black Voter intimidation by local media.  http://maryturnergbr.blogspot.com/2009/05/mary-turner-lynching-and-names-of.html

These arrests reminded me of the alleged problems Black Voters/Citizens have had with the GBI harassing them during their investigation before and during the last run off election.  Moreover, little to nothing was published in the FREE PRESS surrounding citizen’s fear from GBI Investigators.  This was a major point of discussion when I along with a local Pastor from Valdosta, Georgia walked the streets to get a better understanding of what Brooks County Voters had to go through during the last election.  http://kvci.blogspot.com/2010/11/brooks-county-election-gbi.html

Today’s arrest will surely end up in the courts.  However I do not believe JUSTICE will or can be served in the Southern Jurisdiction of Georgia.  This historical and unfair South Georgia Justice System has never been fair to Blacks and no change is in sight.  In fact since the election of President Barack Obama things have gotten extremely worst at all levels of government.  See the Video concerning South Georgia Justice System and who is in power:  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3930808120854021155

This communication is to inform all Georgia Citizens, American Citizens, Television, News Papers, Radio stations, Radio Talk Shows, Civil Rights Organizations, and others so this will NOT be buried beneath the rubbish pile of a WHITEOUT MEDIA.  The people of South Georgia need a real FREE PRESS that will report the factual truth and not keep it away from the eyes and ears of the general public. http://kvci.blogspot.com/2010/09/valdosta-city-council-omission-citizen.html

I have often addressed the WHITEOUT media in our area and that something needed to be done along the lines of equal access to the “ECONOMICALLY OPRESSED” people here in South Georgia that includes Valdosta-Lowndes County as well. http://kvci.blogspot.com/2010/12/economic-oppression-in-valdosta-georgia.html

Please understand that South Georgia is in severe need of adequate news coverage of what goes on in our beloved community along the great social, economic, and racial divide.  These Brooks County arrests did not come as a surprise to any of us that know the unfair history of this area.

Most noteworthy is that these problems have been presented to the United States Justice Department but the same people that were arrested have lost faith in even them providing any help in their case.  Therefore these sad conditions in South Georgia have existed for well over 40 years without help from any one.  http://kvci.blogspot.com/2010/11/valdosta-daily-times-cartton-of-spotted.html

So now you know that the United States Justice Department was just here in South Georgia a few months ago and we thank them for coming.  However local citizens as well as the outside community have been kept ignorant concerning these (BAD) conditions http://kvci.blogspot.com/, God bless everybody, and it is a shame that we fight in foreign nations for the FREEDOM of others while our own are quickly diminishing!

Now with just four days before Christmas the GBI have arrested several citizens after a long investigation centered along racial lines.  Moreover it is NOT strange that after two decades of citizens dying while custody of the Valdosta-Lowndes County Jail; local citizens still does not know how many deaths of jailed inmates have occurred due to a lack of help from news media, politicians, and others. 

So why have NOT the GBI done a timely investigation into local jail deaths with the same speed; and in the Christmas spirit.  God Bless those arrested and their families.  But unless they carry their court cases OUTSIDE of the South Georgia Judicial Circuit---they are destined to be found guilty under a local unjust justice system.  Therefore regardless of the outcome of this case; the history of Brooks County has been well documented by historians and major changes are needed.    http://maryturnergbr.blogspot.com/2009/05/mary-turner-lynching-and-names-of.html

Quitman 10 By Name, GBI, Attorney David Miller, and History of Brooks County In Race Relations....(Truth is the Truth)

 
December 21, 2010

TO:  The Real Patriots, Christians and Beyond…  http://kvci.blogspot.com/

Today citizens of South Georgia were awakened by what we will call the “HERE” The Brooks County 10 Great Arrest. 

We must remember that Brooks and Lowndes County Georgia is the home of the “Historical Week of Terror” that took place May 1918 wherein thirteen or more Black African Americas were killed with no one being brought before the Bar of Justice in the State of Georgia. 

The Black African Americas that were arrested on December 21, 2010 just four days from Christmas concerning the July election Absentee Ballot Problems wherein ten Black African Americans were arrested are named below: 

Angela Bryant.
April Proctor,
Elizabeth Thomas,
Kechia Harrison,
Latashia Head,
Linda Troutman,
Lula Smart,
Nancy Dennard,
Robert Dennard,
Sandra Cody,

Their arrest reminds me of May 5, 2005 when Valdosta City Mayor John Fretti, and Council arrested “The Valdosta 15 for addressing their public officials at a public meeting.  However NOT a single person arrested were interviewed or mentioned in the press outside of the crime report.  Therefore We must stand strong for right and NOT for unfair ruling handed down too often by South Georgia Judges in racial court cases.  Even they may be the controlling patriots and Christians of this dispensation. 

Today Georgia News Media Outlets headlines read; “Arrests Made in Books County Voter Fraud Investigation.”  (December 21, 2010, for more information contact:  SAC Steve Turner, GBI 229-225-4090)

The Brooks County 10 are like the Valdosta 15.  Arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, Georgia State Patrol, Brooks County Sheriff’s Office and Quitman Police Department while local citizens watched in shock and Awe.  They were arrested on December 21, 2010, on warrants obtained by the GBI as follows:


1.  NANCY DENNARD, 50 years of age -Quitman – Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


2.  LATASHIA HEAD, 36 years of age -Quitman – Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and two(2) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


3.  LULA SMART, 49 years of age - Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


4.  APRIL PROCTOR, 31 years of age – Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


5.  KECHIA HARRISON, 38 years of age – Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


6.  LINDA TROUTMAN, 57 years of age – Morven - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


7.  ELIZABETH THOMAS, 52 years of age – Barwick Road, Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and three(3) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.


8.  SANDRA CODY, 47 years of age –Dixie - Two(2) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and one(31) count of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.

9.  ROBERT DENNARD, 37 years of age –Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots.


10.  ANGELA BRYANT, 44 years of age – Quitman - Three(3) counts of Unlawful Possession of Ballots and two(2) counts of Violation of Procedure for Voting by Absentee Ballot.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Southern Judicial Circuit District Attorney David Miller of Valdosta.

Now review the video “A Chorus of Fear” and ask why NO investigation? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3930808120854021155

Brooks County Election, GBI Investigation, Local News Media and Citizens Right to know!
November 5, 2010


READERS: NOT Published In the Valdosta Daily Times, "Letter To The Editor"

What happened to the GBI Investigation in Brooks County concerning absentee ballots, write-ins, and the process?  What has local television, newspapers, and radio stations reported to the general public now that the election is over? 

Does Georgia citizens have a right to know?  It seems that voter’s complaints of alleged harassment by investigators have been ignored by the local press here in South Georgia.  Apparently citizens have been visited at their homes and asked questions like:  Can you read?  Can you write?  Can you do math computations?  Where are your children and where can we contact them?  Can they meet us at a location between Brooks and Lowndes County?  Why did you vote absentee ballot instead of other means? Who paid you to vote for a particular candidate in the Brooks County Elections? 

These are some of the many questions and complaints received from citizens in Brooks County.  However the general public knows little to nothing about these alleged allegations and reveals a great need for some type of investigative reporting in our area for the good of all Georgians.

This continuous pattern and practice of keeping citizens deaf; dumb and blind; hopefully will be addressed by the Department of Justice at Serenity Church on Sunday, November 7, 2010, at 7:00 PM in Valdosta along with other issues in our beloved community.

Professor Mark George and local Civil Rights Organizations were successful in getting the Department to take a look at problems here in our area.  Moreover it is time for resolutions to issues that has plagued our beloved community for too long.  God bless!

Quitman, Brooks County Voting, GBI Investigation, Local Media Coverage of the NEWS!

TO:  Quitman Free Press, 112 N. Lee Street, Post Office Box 72, Quitman, Georgia 31643, Editors, Concerned Citizens, Civil & Human Rights Organizations, Internet http://kvci.blogspot.com,  READERS: NOT Published as "Letter To The Editor"  VDT!  SUBJECT:  Alleged Brooks County Voter Intimidation, GBI Investigation, and Citizens Right to Know

Local citizens have been informed that the GBI was investigating the Absentee Ballot process in Brooks County recently, and write-in candidates of Brooks County School Board Gary Rentz, and Myra Exum, (Jo Ann Collins, Probate Judge/election superintendent and three registrar board members, Beth Hurst, Melba Lovett and Myrtice B. Ives).  However little to NOTHING has been reported about Brooks County Voters complaining about being intimated by the on going investigation.  I received a call from concerned citizens on Saturday and on Sunday I traveled to Quitman.  While there I heard citizens complaining about alleged intimidation by investigators concerning voting by absentee ballot.  But voters were reluctant to provide more details because of fear.  They even showed me a letter that was sent out by a write-in candidate to many Brooks County Voters and I believe the letter should be examined by the State Elections Office concerning write-in candidates.

Moreover I believe everyone should be concerned about alleged voter fraud.  However NO Georgia Voter should be frightened or intimated to the point wherein they refuse to participate in the upcoming November’s Mid Term Election.  While in Brooks County several voters insisted that; “the citizens in Brooks County needed immediate relief and resolution from the U.S Justice Department because they had lost trust and faith in the local courts due to a lack of diversity even on the bench.

Local citizens spoke fervently about No Blacks being employed in and around the Brooks County Court House; except in janitorial positions.  I was also informed that a petition will be filed on Friday 9:30 AM, October 22, 2010 in Brooks County to contest the application of write-in candidates who seek to be included on the November ballot for the following reasons.

Count I.  Failure of either candidate to comply with the statutory dictates of OCGA21-2-135(a) (I) constitutes a direct violation of Election Code therefore, the candidacies must be rendered null and void.

Count II.  The changes is the means and manner in which candidates are qualified for writ-in candidates for Brooks County School Board Constitutes a violation of the pre-clearance requirement pursuant to Section V of the Voting Rights Acts of 1965.

Count III.  The petitioners seek a writ of Mandamus compelling that Jo Ann, K. Collins, Superintendent of Elections, to invoke her authority to disqualify candidates Exum and Rentz from seeking office.

We can only ask if Brooks County alleged pattern and practice of integrated segregation has contributed the lack of trust and faith in the Southern Judicial System when it comes to equal justice under the law in South Georgia.  God bless our beloved Republic and the real patriots in 2010!
