Ferguson: The Town That George Soros Couldn’t Shut Down
American Spectator ^ | April 7, 2017 | Joseph P. Duggan

Posted on 04/08/2017 6:26:49 AM PDT by Twotone

In August 2014, billions of people suddenly came to know the name of this suburban town of 21,000 souls near the St. Louis international airport. The dominant media influenced much of the world to accept a description of Ferguson not as it really is, but instead as an ideological “narrative.”

Ferguson became a synonym for alleged social evils in retrograde regions of an America that the ideologues believe cannot and should not be made great again. For a community of its size and condition, Ferguson surely is the world’s best known but least understood.

nevertheless, SorozNazi did a tremendous amount of damage to Ferguson, its residents, and the American people (and republic) as a whole

which is, of course, his patent intent...to undermine USA in any and all ways he can

A Black Biz Booster, Robert Woods on, wrote in a 30th Anniversary Heritage Foundation report on the 1960s LBJ Great Society smokescreen for Black riots, the jailbird Illinois Governor, Otto “Kerner” Commission report, that there was a high level of Black Biz entrepreneurial, small biz ownership since the Depression, when you either got out and hustled or starved. But soon after the Black intellectual Civil Rights Establishment had some wins, with Brown v Topeka 1954 and Rosa Parks, the NAACP threw the Fred Sanfords under the bus, worked against Black Small Biz independence as FDR had in the 1930s. Black families had higher rate of intact families with Dad working and at home, before the people were told, shut your shop, quit your job, go down to City Hall to get free money! It was so free, it came with the matriarchalization of Black families, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago agreed to contraception in Cook County hosptials, now white illegitimacy is higher than black in the 1960s. http://www.with-friends-like-these-who-needs-enemies.org/index.html#Chicago

No, Ferguson wasn’t a hell-hole, but it wasn’t a healthy entity either. In north St Louis County you’ll find a lot “cities” whose whole point is to raise taxes from airport hotels and fines for municipal violations. As you drive along I-70 near the airport you find yourself passing city limits every 1/2 mile or so. In a way these municipalities are acting as parasites on their residents as well as outsiders who pass through.

And then you have our last Justice Department that basically blackmailed any community that raised the ire of Attorney General Lynch into “consent decrees” that basically turned over law enforcement to the Feds.

I’m glad the mayor won reelection. I’m sorry Wilson lost his job for doing his job.

This evil man did every thing in his power to bring them to Ferguson MO, and anywhere else he can foment and agitate and accuse,

Thanks for posting.

It's good to know that at least sometimes the truth can win. Congratulations to Mayor Knowles. May he have a bright political future.

It wouldn’t be racist nonsense, so Hollywood ain’t interested.

You make a good point about the “cities” near the airport and fines for municipal violations. For the record, though, Ferguson is not receiving taxes from hotels because there are no hotels in Ferguson. Nor is Ferguson receiving fines from outsiders who travel I-70. I-70 does not go through Ferguson.

No, you are right that Ferguson has neither hotels nor access to I-70 and the traffic fines it can engender. And it it is much larger population-wise than some of North County. But I believe there were problems found with its municipal court. How many of the problems were discovered by a hostile Justice Dept. and hostile press, I don’t know. It seems like a lot of little towns (not just in MO—Bell, Cal comes to mind) are basically set up as money-raising scams—with the force of law behind them.
