No verdict is the result. The lack of a verdict on the elitist PILOT Extension Fund (PEF) sham is the product of a “Shelter in Place” discourse that has been in place for a long time in Memphis. Its a discourse that keeps the Memphis public ignorant, as sheltered Memphians believe, Memphis would be nothing without FedEx. This belief is complete bullshit and product of a blaring FedEx public relations machine, that is accommodated by the local “Shelter in Place” media.
The fact is that Blackjack is a civic idiot and FedEx would be nothing without Memphis. Meanwhile, real estate partnerships of Puke Hyde and others, are the beneficiary of potentially illegal taxpayer funded loans for private parking garages. The lacking public verdict is how the Shelter in Place discourse protects the elitists, while keeping Memphians ignorant.
Commission Chairman Eddie Jones, who has expressed concern over PILOTs and such, recently forwarded the Shelter in Place existence by disallowing read aloud public comment in Shelby County Commission proceedings. This comes after Mayor Harris, stunningly has no position on the $62M public PEF measure, as due diligence on the matter, was overtly cockblocked by the County Commission.
The reason that due diligence was cockblocked is that the social justice elitists would have been publicly revealed ripping off a majority Black community in need. After all, they rip off small business, rip off educational opportunity and rip off the taxpayer as a matter of elitist process, all the time, in a majority Black community in need, under the guise of public relations tools like the National Civil Rights Museum.
The Capitol Insurgency vs Social Justice Elitism
The only advantage to the Nation’s Capitol event, involving a band of insane rednecks, is that everyone saw it. At the same time, the undermining of the local democracy by the social justice elitists, is much harder to see, as it has been systemically occurring for 20 years, while using such elitist public relations tools as the National Civil Rights Museum (NCRM). Puke Hyde is the Chair of the NCRM Executive Committee.
The Memphis Business Journal recently publicized the elitist public relations work of the NCRM featuring Dick Shadyac, Chairman of Memphis Tomorrow, on corporate social responsibility. Dick focused on the need of measurement in corporate social responsibility, just as his very own Memphis Tomorrow cockblocks and rips off my family, small business and community repeatedly, as I have, for years now, professionally proposed public measurement solutions of the Memphis Tomorrow public private complex. Memphis Tomorrow hates innovation coming from local small business, which is historically culturally evident in the decimation of the Memphis music business and small business sector.
For that matter, Dick is also a civic idiot for even being associated with and Board Chairman of Memphis Tomorrow. His remarks come, just as the sham $62M DMC PEF for public parking was being considered. Its a fund that currently shows an estimated $28M public debt.
If Memphis Tomorrow were serious about corporate social responsibility, they would have opposed the sham. But Memphis Tomorrow is an elitism sham into itself, while failing to measure the last 2014 FOCUS Economic Development plan, that came as a product of the Memphis Tomorrow Fast Forward initiative.
The only justice comes with Blackjack and Puke, on their hands and knees, puking up $1.5B in public chambers, and then leaving the stage. Both are civic idiots. Dick might want to join them. That’s not rhetoric. Their idiocy is a data supported fact…..
