IS MYRON LOUSY TRYING TO BRIBE DEMOCRATS?







I noticed that the local media played up the fact that attorney Ricky Wilkins had been fired by temp mayor Myron Lousy for excessive spending but never reported that the law firm of Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz was about to hired for a higher fee until I reported that while Lousy had screamed about Wilkins firm making nearly $2million dollars in five years, which included a large percentage of expenses okayed by the city council while the large White firm had been paid nearly $5million dollars doing the same period. It was after this revelation that Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz decided that they wanted no part of the Beale Street issue of which Wilkins had lead an 18 month investigation into preparing to take John Elkington to trial in March of next year.


Sources out of city hall now report that Lousy and his deputy city attorney Veronica Coleman-Davis have now selected the law firm of Butler Snow to replace the Baker Donelson group with young attorney Van Turner taking the lead. The selection of Butler Snow with young Van Turner at lead appears to be a conflict for the firm seeing that Turner is the current chairman of the Shelby County Democratic Party and Myron Lousy is seeking an endorsement by the local party and democrats.


At least 95% of all Black registered voters in Memphis are democrats and a push by the local party would surely help "The Lousy One" who is not doing well with Black support. Is the selection of Butler Snow a bribe by Myron? Has Van Turner been made type of promise by Myron for the local democratic party support. But more than that will Butler Snow allow themselves to be played in this game of politics knowing that they have a conflict? Is Butler Snow aware that two former Executive members of the Shelby County Democratic Party who still have ties to the party are very close to this case and The Beale Street Development Corporation?


Butler Snow taking the Beale Street case being lead by Van Turner is a complete conflict and payment of a bribe by Lousy to get black votes.

That's not surprising.

Van has always been a "snake".

Look at his smile. First of all, he smiles to much. Talk with him for a minute and the first thing come out of his mouth, sisiter or brother, bullshit.

These black guys in these white law firms; Van Turner, James Ball, Christopher Campbell have to play ball and golf with the "Master" if not they will send their nuttless black-ass home crying.

I have worked with Van and his balls are very small. Just like Veronica "Ronnie" whatever her part-time dike name is. Remember she ran aganist Ernestine Dorse and cost her to lose the Juvenile Judge race.

These type of attorneys can always be bought!!!!!!!

You know, it sure is a damn shame.

But you best get used to ut, Thaddy-Pup.

Myron's here to stay in one form or another in a leadership ppoisition, while your stull sitting there with your little old radio show where you PAY the WHITE MAN for the privelage of yakkin' on the air.

Its really kinda funny. You keep claiming to be your own person and not working at a radio station where you've got to follow the WHITE MANS rules, and yet your PAYING the WHITE MAN.

Now THATS pretty funny !

Checking The facts said...

Mr. Matthews,

It's critical that the facts are presented -

Fact: The Executive committee of the Shelby County Democratic Party has not and will not endorse any candidate for the Mayor of Memphis - The mayor's race is a non partisan race.

Fact: Any endorsement by the Shelby County Democratic Party must be voted on by a quorum of the executive committee - not Chairman Van Turner, not the Steering Committee, not a sub-committee. "The Executive Committee of the Shelby County Democratic Party"

Fact: Myron Lowery has not presented himself at any 2009 Executive Committee meeting as a Citizen, Council Chair, Charter Commission Chair, Mayor Pro Tem or as a candidate for the Mayor of Memphis.

Fact: Your post is filled with false information

Just a couple of things to think about.

First of all, IF Lousy is a joke in the black community like you say all the time, an endorsement from the joke Democratic organization will have no effect.

Secondly, a black attorney has been chosen and now there's a problem with that.

I got to thinking about what you've said over and over about AC and Myron being supported and controlled by the white man.
What evidence is there of this?

It seems that anytime there are decisions or statements made that you disagree with, it turns in to a situation that is controlled by the white man.

You could easily say this about Herenton. Look at all the development that occured on his watch and look who benefited. Turley, Belz, Hyde, Hyneman.
Look how Elkington got away with his stuff on Herenton's watch for years.

I think that the Justice Department is going to look at Myron and this Beale Street situation. Since it has become public knowledge that a audit showed that John Elkington had co-mingled the funds of Beale Street with his other businesses, it seems that Myron Lowery and Jack Sammons has done everything they can to protect John Elkington. By hiring the Law Firm where the lead Attorney is President of the Shelby County Democratic Party, gives the appearance that he is using his office for personal gain. This is the same type of mess that the Governor of Illinois was indicted for. Also Bill Gibbons suit to remove Attorney Jefferson shows that you were right that Myron and the Power Brokers would do anything to get him out of the way. I think this move is going to backfire because when you look at the history of Bill Gibbons and the Black Community. Bill Gibbons is quick to go after Blacks while giving his Political cronies a pass. Not once has he mention any investigation of possible embezzlement of funds on Beale Street. When the Code Enforcement Officer was killed, Bill Gibbons cut a deal without the involvement of the victims family. Also when that White man left his baby in a hot car and the baby died, Bill Gibbons chose not to prosecute. The Powerbrokers wanted Atty. Jefferson gone and Dr Herenton humiliated. But what Myron and other's fail to realize that Dr. Herenton is still loved by this community. And the more they and the media bash Dr. Herenton, the more the Black Community is going to support Charles Carpenter. Voters began to take a serious look at Mr. Carpenter after Myron began his foolishness at Memphis City Hall. At the next debate somebody needs to ask Myron about Jack Sammons and that Klu Klux Klan robe that was sent to Edmund Ford Sr. Also someone needs to ask Myron about hiring someone who has been accused of racial comments to Blacks. Somebody needs to ask A.C. Wharton why they are waiting until the election is over to make it publically known that the MED will be closing.

Thad

I don't trust M Lousy because he runs to fat bloated white boy shows
to corner the "meth" cracker vote.

A.C by the way, if the news that more babies die before their first birthday in shelby county than any where else in the world came out in 2005 then why didnt you do radio spots, tv spots and marches then? Here is how many you did in 2005 -zero!
2006-zero!
2007-zero!
2008-zero!
2009 - Election time for mayor
NOW you pretend to care!

In the debate you admitted "regret" that you did not show more "backbone" when Thad called M Lousy a good nigger but on tape you are heard "laughing which means you are a liar.

You don't give damn about black babies dying if you did you would not have a Health Director Yvonne Madlock (a unqualiifed school teacher) that can never be equal to a lawyer like Ruby or a Doctor like Partee so you give her the title of "Director" the way some preachers call themselves Bishop or some third world dictator wears six stars on their uniform.

I don't feel comfortable with A.C.'s son (still at large) on the prowl with all the resources of his father being the city mayor - How long before "JR" becomes "Director" of Chilin Services" after all he only raped one little 13 year old white girl.

A.C has shown poor judgment raising his chilin, appointing directors with a history of failure, and allowing white collar fraud perps like (Bob Lanier) to lead his election campaign.

Thaddeus Augustus Matthews said...

914 If that is the case why was it that on this past Saturday did "the Lousy One" take a bus od supporters to an event given by the Shelby County Democratic party where on those involved in the group were present?

Where the election of mayor in non-partisan we all understand that actually it is not because at this same event Lousy asked democrats to support him seeing that he is a democrat.

We also know that while the group must vote there is wheeling and dealing and positioning going on. The mere fact that the chair of a political group has been chosen to lead a case that involves many poli-trick-ans is a conflict especially when former members of the group are very much involved with beale Street.

I hope the City Council will keep thier self respect and not take a part in the lynching of this good man.
It is self evident that Myron does not know what self respect is.
Jefferson was very close to taking Elkington to trial and that made the people connected to him nervous.

THE FAMER said...

Myron and his Masters are going after Mr Jefferson for several reasons.
One is to allow John Elkington to settle out of Court.
Another is to make Doc HERENTION LOOK BAD. DOC IS THE REAL TARGET IN ALL OF THIS.
This stupid retarded "HOUSE NIGGER"IS BEING USE TO CARRY OUT THE WISHES OF OTHERS.
IF THAT FOOL COMES IN MY COMUNITY, I WILL LEAD THE BOOS
WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD BAN TOGATHER AND SUPPORT MR JEFFERSON,BECAUS IF HE MADE A MISTAKE IT CAN BE CORRECTED. There is no reason to go after this mans job.

"IF they take mr Jefferson this morning,they will be back for someone else this afternoon".

Vote Charles Carpenter,"the peoples canidate".

Learned this on this blog. Myron Lowery is trying to cleanout the mess made of this city over the past eighteen years or sense Willie stuffed city hall with trash such as Tyrone Richardson, or whatever they call the bogus thief that is hiding out, that the bogus city council would not let Myron exterminate.

Looks like Myron is the man to white wash city hall.

Anonymous said...

Charles Carpernter, A C Wharton, Jerry Lawler & Dedric Stigall were also in attendance and spoke at this Saturday event.

As were 2 County Mayor hopefuls, 3 gubernatiorial hopefuls and many, many others.

The event was open to all Democrats and all candidates were invited. It was hyped throughout Memphis including a half hour segment on your radio station.


The fact that Myron showed up in a bus is irrelevant. It is no more relevant than the fact that I think I saw you there.

You are back to runnng Van down because he won the election last spring. Maybe Van was chosen because he is a damn fine attorney?

Quit making up conflicts of interest.

I willbe so glad when this one election is OVER. Is there anyway that Lousy can be removed once this is over..He has brought the wrong attention to Memphis. Why is lousy so set on getting a new law firm for this case...It make you wonder what is Myron trying to cover up.

Thaddeus I know when he lay down for bed at night...He only see you and pray that you would go AWAY>>>Stay on his him.

Thad, if Myron would be misleading about the City Legal fees, what else is he being deceitful about.

Checkng The facts said...

Mr. Matthews,

The event that you're referring to was the SCDP - Stump Party also labeled as BAD (Bring A Democrat). It was an event that allowed Democrats to come out and present their stump speeches and provide information about democratic efforts. This event included candidates for the governors race, city & county offices, judges, former judges, political activist, and community leaders. This was not an event to endorse any candidates, furthermore this was not an official meeting of the SCDP Executive Committee. If this was an "endorsement event" then clearly the party would have to endorse several Mayoral candidates, because there were several in attendance; including your choice - Mr. Charles Carpenter. In fact, this event was really more about rallying the troops "The Democrats" in preparation for the 2010 statewide elections!

The Facts still remains:

Fact: The Executive committee of the Shelby County Democratic Party has not and will not endorse any candidate for the Mayor of Memphis - The mayor's race is a non partisan race.

Fact: Any endorsement by the Shelby County Democratic Party must be voted on by a quorum of the executive committee - not Chairman Van Turner, not the Steering Committee, not a sub-committee. "The Executive Committee of the Shelby County Democratic Party"

Fact: Myron Lowery has not presented himself at any 2009 Executive Committee meeting as a Citizen, Council Chair, Charter Commission Chair, Mayor Pro Tem or as a candidate for the Mayor of Memphis.

For 18 years Memphis was fortunate enough to have as its mayor a strong black man named Willie W. Herenton who opened up the doors of opportunity for black people, even allowing qualified blacks like Ricky Wilkins, Elbert Jefferson, Joseph Lee, and Robert Spence the chance to make some big bucks that heretofore had been going exclusively to white folks. But now the worm has turned. Myron Lowery, in cahoots with Jack Sammons and Bill Gibbons, haa declared war on his own people. October 15 can not get here soon enough.

Anonymous said...

I am angry. Bass Pro, Beale Street and Elbert Jefferson ... none of these three will be resolved before the election. This is just Myron trying to get free airtime. If you do not know during political season all media prices are increased and Myron, a former newsman, understands this. He is trying to get free prime-time advertising. Carpenter is the best choice. Lowery is over his head and Sammons and his crew need to be stopped.

Note as well that Elkington is getting a free ride with the press. His wife, Valarie Calhoun, calls other accused individuals.. creaps, crooks, shady operators and the like. I have not seen her station cover this matter...hmm.

The decent folks of this community should start and contribute to a fund for the purpose of buying and knotting hangman's rope. Put one with it's noose around every light pole that is near city hall. Let them be warned. Not to suggest a lynching, but to instill some fear in these crooks left from the horrific era in which Willie Herenton was the mayor of Memphis.

Richardson, do your family a favor and go for a plea bargain by helping Willie into a cell. You do not need to be behind bars with your failing health. You don't want to find yourself in the hands of Edmund, Joe and/or Ophelia Ford at any price.

Go for it Mr. Gibbons as you can't count on the city council, not the ones that would not allow Mayor Lowry his right to get rid of Richardson who flauntingly used city funds for the purpose of enriching Willie and his gang.

Voters, stay clear of the evil Charles Carpenter, the snake Willie left behind.

If Myron Lowery and A.C. Wharton are to be derailed, Herenton must urge his political base to vote solidly for Charles Carpenter on Oct. 15. Otherwise the balance of power on Oct. 16 is going to shift back to the white power structure with Wharton being firmly in the pockets of Jack Sammons and Larry Godwin. Lowery, of course, has no chance to win anything since he has already alienated most of the black voters with his frenzied attacks on other black leaders and since the white community does not respect him. But even if Lowery could win, you would get the same anti-black result that we are facing with the election of Wharton.

Myron, go for it! Clean up the mess

Thug, there is a man running for mayor that is trying to clean the dirty plow of Willie Herenton. Only a crook like you would try to prevent this man from cleaning the home your idol, Willie Herenton, ripped off. To think that arrogant piss ass is running for congress only tells me that there are some sorry voters in Memphis.

The Fat Man of Memphis, Pro Tom Scrooge Myron Lowery, is at it again. This time the prime time porker is going after the city's poor temporary workers because Crump Jack Sammons claims too many of them are making too much money. Of course these are poor black people that the administration of Willie Herenton was willing to help and Buffalo Butt is willing to hurt. If this Hippo really wants to cut city expenses, why doesn't he donate his salary and the salary of Boss Crump Sammons to the city instead of picking on the city's poor black people? This orca simply does not want any of his people to make a decent living, and he is a disgrace. So come on, Robert Spence, the Fat Man of Memphis on a higher scale is trying to do the same thing to you. It is time for you to march into city hall and put your foot up Myron's big ass.

I can see the progress and growth in respectability to your show and articles. Why would all these people come to your show, and purchase advertising time, if you were not making an impact.

Hang in there Thad. No one else has the balls to "buck the system". The mainstream media has been punked and sold their souls to be embedded in various bull shit exercises. They have become lazy and sold their souls on fairy tale media stories, just to get a sound bite. Rather than dig for the truth and expose wrong doing. One would think that they are subsidized by government monies.

The mainstream media ignores the hard, true stories of what's really happening in this county.
There's no wonder thugs are running wild in local government. The media which we usually rely on to keep us informed is TOOTHLESS.

Hang in there Thad... and buy you a damned dictionary/thesaraus and use it.

Better yet, use some of that chicken selling money and hire yourself an english major to edit your shit.

I can see you going national in a couple of years and that mis-spelling of five-lettered words will kill you.

This man, Mr. Turner has tried to push himself off as a secretary during a meeting with the school board, knowing that he had no business there. He stated that any information he gathered during that meeting would not go any further?????? He got upset and stepped out of the meeting room, to call his boss because we would not continue with him there. I wouldn't trust him as far as 2 inches in front of me. That's all we need in Memphis, another one of the cronies, who the public can't count on to be trustworthy and honest and a person of their word. He is an example of what is wrong with Memphis.

Matthews,
Why is it that you always criticize and never support? You are an opportunist who is full of bullshit. You are jealous of Myron because he is a lot more tactful than you. What in your childhood caused you to be so angry with black men? Was it the fact that you grew up fatherless in North Memphis? Or did a man rape you when you were a child? Deep deep down inside, you are a hurting man who has no peace and that is why you have to brag about carrying a piece. You act like a faggot! You call women bitches and yet you allow a low life woman to come to your show and talk about how to sell her body for money. Then you have the nerve to criticize blacks about issues of integrity. From what I have heard about you form the days of Willie Herenton, you are truly a social misfit....a fat Hattie's Hot Tamale eating social misfit. When you people stop critcizing those who work for you, like the superinendent, like A.C. Wharton, like Myron Lowery and like Mrs. Sharon Webb, then you can get some things done. Until then, you need to just find that damn body shaper you bought and squeeze it around your fat belly again so that some of that hot stank gas can come out. Goodness gracious! My word!

If the firm he is working for has been presented with this case and they accepted it with him as the lead then I think its a great opportunity for a young black man to shed light on the corrpution and make a name for himself. The City has prob dug a ditch they cant get out of with this one because Van will do what is right and expose the corruption and Myron didnt know that Turner was a part of this firm. Come on Thad lets do it right and speak the truth on this thing investigate a little deeper and double check your sources...Keep up the good work we apperciate you keeping us informed.

I will not vote for Carpenter because of his association with Matthews. However, I feel that Matthews has aided Carpenter's campaign more than hurt it. He has been a very good promoter of Carpenter.

I do agree with you that Matthews is not anyone's friend, like you said he will turn on Carpenter in a split second if Carpenter does not remain beholden to him if were to become mayor.

Carpenter talks a good talk about recruiting industry to Memphis, viewing Memphis as an international player not just a national one. He speaks of expanding the bio-medical infrastructure of Memphis. None of this really plays into Matthews "what you gonna do for black folks?" mantra of which I have yet to hear Matthews give clear definition of what that means. So if Carpenter is successful in recruiting international industries Memphis will then have to add European, Asian, South American, and Middle Easter power brokers to the mix with the white power brokers. Matthew would have a fit...lol.

Thad in Sunday's CA, Myron Lowery is quoted as saying "He is all but certain - "99 and 40/100ths percent" - not to run in the 2011 election. Is the reason that he is not going to run in 2011 if elected is that he will have accomplished the hidden agenda of Fred Smith and others and he knows that he would not be re-elected. Also in that article the CA claims that Mr. Carpenter seems to be targeting the black vote. I went to Mr. Carpenter's website and it shows that he has participated in all types of forums. The reporters at the CA are very ignorant. Not once have they stated that a white candidate is going after the white vote. When I watched Mr. Carpenter in the debate, when the subject of race came up. Mr. Carpenter stated that if all segments of society are busy earning a decent living they would be to busy to hate.
