The thing is that the "good ole boy" network in Mississippi is so powerful that they have the entire state by the throat and even key parts of Washington. The Delaughter situation is not even a big enough issue in our state. It makes the news, but only in a, "Here's a report for a few seconds/paragraphs," kind of way. If the story were completely ignored, it would be too obvious that the good ole boy network owns the state. I know they have WLBT, WJTV, WAPT, and the Clarion Ledger at least a little bit in their pockets. If this thread continues much longer, I will probably start sounding a whole lot like Mystic and others. The media here is in the midst of a city and state owned by the Baptist mafia. I mean that very literally. The Baptist Church is so powerful here it is outrageous, and the reaches of their conspiracies and pawnings of people with power and influence is jaw dropping. Have you ever noticed how the state capitol building is literally right next door to the biggest Baptist church in Mississippi? First Baptist is the lead church in the Mississippi Baptist Convention, which owns a lot of downtown and the only law school in Jackson, which is one of the only two law schools in Mississippi. The Mississippi Baptist Convention is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, which has some major leashes on the far right wing of the Republican party. Ed Peters, Dickie Scruggs, Bobby Delaughter, the other corrupt judges who are about to get their asses burned by the feds, the attorney general Jim Hood, Trent Lott, and a zillion other Mississippians with power are part of this sick thing. I don't know if all of them are Baptists, but I have seen the signs that they are part of the Baptist mafia, which is a lot like the Sicilian mafia except not as personal and family like. The ones who are not Baptist are probably Methodist, which is just an alter ego of the Baptist Church that people in power here use to make it look like the Mississippi power structure is not all in the hands of the Baptist church. The Baptist mafia, or good ole boy network, is just a big network of corrupt, "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. We now have an understanding we can use later, and we can introduce each other to others who will work with us in secrecy." I think most of them are probably atheists or agnostics and just use the Baptist/Methodist church in Mississippi as a power tool. There is a lot of power to be gained by way of a religious denomination.
That is exactly why I am so excited about this Delaugher issue. I HAAAAATE the Baptist mafia and really want to see it fall. I want those #$%@ &*(%$* to all sink together like a big fleet of battle ships. My hatred for them almost defies description. Maybe I am getting my hopes up too much that their day of doom has finally come, but it looks like maybe it really has. The federal government has finally penetrated them and taken out a few of their soldiers and is giving a hard look at one of their top generals. I think that is profoundly beautiful.
One of the reasons I argue so much about 9/11 conspiracies and "war all about oil" type stuff is that there is completely real stuff like that going on in the world and I don't like to see people doing what amounts to crying wolf. It is just like when Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson cry out about racism in situations where it does not actually exist. When they do that, they knock big chunks out of people's credibility when they try to expose racism in situations where it really is. I am now talking about a true conspiracy involving very powerful people who I know have really important people in their pockets, and I can't talk about it without sounding like people who have talked about that stuff in places where it has not been proven to exist. I have said all along that maybe it does exist in those places. It does not defy the laws of reality for Bush to have used actual foreign matters that are true problems as an excuse to start wars and get cuts of money from Halliburton. I defninitely see where it is possible. However, I have not seen it proven, and I do know that there are legitimate reasons for our present wars. I hate that people are crying wolf in mass numbers because it hurts our country's ability to make something of circumstances where such things really can be proven.
