When trying to pin down Jack Ellis, you have to be continent-specific
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Deep in August, the political news is scarce. So please send a thank-you note to the city of Macon for keeping the rest of Georgia entertained.
Mayor Jack Ellis’ flirtation with international diplomacy continues to stir the pot. The Telegraph reports that two Macon city council intend to block the mayor from taking any advantage of his recent declaration of solidarity with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.
They plan to introduce a resolution to forbid “city funding of travel to any country certified by the U.S. Secretary of State as not fully cooperating with counter-terrorism efforts or designated as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
Ellis couldn’t be reached for comment. He’s in Africa.

Speaking of Macon - Macon City Council run-off elections are today - with two seats still to be decided.
If you live in Macon please make sure and get out to vote.
Me? I’ll be voting for Tom Ellington for Macon City Council Ward 3 Post 3. He was endorsed by The Macon Telegraph, almost all of the community leaders in the ward - and he’s a well-respected professor at Wesleyan. He’s a great neighbor and a great friend and has worked hard to make Macon a better place.
A Better Macon needs Tom Ellington on City Council.

PROTEST! PROTEST! PROTEST! In person, in numbers at city council meetings, anywhere Ellis is, anywhere Ellis has connections or appearances - to let them know Ellis’ actions are unacceptable and does not represent the citizens of Macon. Definitely protest if any of Chavez’s “poster boys” visit Macon.
Incoming Mayor, Mr. Richert has his job cut out for him. Ellis’ has damaged Macon’s reputation beyond comprehension.

Too bad none of those outraged by Ellis’ efforts at “peaceful communication” were brave enough or moral enough to be outraged by Pat Robertson’s efforts at “encouraging assassination”. Stand up, go to your bathroom, look in the mirror, and ask yourself why you didn’t protest THAT. Then smack yourself, hypocrite.

Ellis is trying to aggravate everyone in Macon. What I want to know is why didn’t City Council cut off his travel allowance before. Does he fly first class to Africa? While he is abroad for weeks at a time who pays for his living expenses? He should have been reigned in a long time ago.

ELLIS for GOVERNOR!!!
Macon was, I believe, like Virginia, founded by Huguenots.
Eliis is following the Spirit - Annuit Coeptis - we came here to know, in covenant. Mark those who still have “W” stickers on their cars. Whig America must end King/Pope Tory rule once more. Bush did 9-11. The question remaining: Who ordered the “hit” on Pat Tillman?
Rome’s Vatican-banker/CFR Rockefeller/Bush/Nixon Fifth Column in America tried to overthrow Chavez because he is following Bolivar and Jefferson in the historic fight to be free of caesaropapism. Whig America was founded for this reason. Had you not wondered why only Roman Catholics and their fronts, like the Knight of Malta-led CIA, assassinate U.S. Presidents and Meriwether Lewis?
BIG OIL is Roman Catholic, too, and Chavez, like Jefferson and America’s Whig Founders is leading Venezuela’s People against the Anti-Christ Church, its pedophile priesthood, and the false aristocracy, fascist plutocracy (latifundistas) they maintain.
Those against Our Mottoes and the Whig Principles and Constitution upon which Our Nation was Founded are Traitors. Those promoting illegal immigration are the same who hate Chavez. Their goal is Urbis et Orbis, “City and World.” Rome was the Wall Street of slavery for 2,000 years and still believe is owns the world.
If America’s Fifth Column is able to destroy the 80% Working/Middle Class with 9-11 and false war Rome will succeed in repealing the American Revolution.
Test your representatives. If they approve Bush’s treason and known hypocritical perversion take the appropriate measures to ensure safety and prosperity in your community.
G_d is not mocked.

Don’t blame Mayor Ellis. When someone in public office performs in an irresponsible or incompetent manner, it is a reflection of poor judgement within the voter base. Mayor Ellis will soon fade into history, having acheived little of real significance. But the voters remain. And if the voters make the same mistake that was made the last time around, don’t be surprised if your mayor again becomes an embarrassment to the community. DD

Dear Lifelong Resident,
If you think Ellis is damaging Macon’s reputation; just wait til you see what the Bibb County Commission is doing to the character of our Neighborhoods with the $300 million SPLOST we stupidly voted for them use to turn traditional Neighborhood roads like Forest Hill Road into Pavement Hill Road. And all the while our Macon Electorate and Bibb County Planning and Zoning lets Title Pawns, Bikini bars, Poker clubs and Massage parlors erect giant billboards in Elementary School Neighborhoods. One family that moved here from DC said they originally thought Bibb had to be the healthiest, cleanest area in the USA because of all the Spa billboards around. Our problems are deeper and whiter than Ellis.
But Downtown is starting to turn around and we’d still like y’all to come down and party with us on “First Fridays” and for the Gigantic Native American Celebration at the Ocmulgee National Monument - Indian Mounds on Sept 14, 15, 16.

I’m just here to check Will’s posts. I hope he will let me know if the moon landings were real, but on the other hand, he should know, because it does appear that he is from another planet…

Whether Nixon got us to the Moon has little bearing on his making three different false statements as to his whereabouts upon hearing of John Kennedy’s assassination, neither does his mentor’s having been a member of the Vatican-running Knights of Malta, Hitler’s banker, and father of the CIA asset, later POTUS, “unable to recall” his whereabouts, either, despite two FBI memos that put him in the org that did the deed, by a Federal Jury’s determination, within range of the hit. Now we have a known homosexual, cheated into the White House by the Roman Catholic bloc of the Supreme Court, having provably committed 9-11 sending us to die to restart the Afghan heroin trade for his pals in Dubai, and to steal Iraqi oil for his family’s bosses in the Rockefeller empire and Roman Catholic “aristocracy.” And you wonder about the moon landing?

Will, have you had a recent psycological evaluation? Perhaps, its time.
Ellis sounds like a complete kook. Is he your daddy?

First of all, Will Jones is nuttier than a fruitcake. Take your bellicose verbosity elsewhere. Just because you buy into the conspiracy theories blindly perpetrated by people interested in controlling you and creating revolution out of fake controversy doesn’t mean anyone else should be forced to listen to or read a damn word you have to say, ya fruity nutbag. Try to stay on topic - I don’t recall this article having anything to do with Bush, 9/11, the Catholic Church, Rome or the Illuminati. Crack baby. Mayor Ellis is a disgrace to Americans and should be censured by the city council. His act is not only treasonous, but allows Chavez and his propaganda cronies to use yet another example of moronic Americans in ‘solidarity’ with his insanity of crushing oppression. He doesn’t allow for free speech and has shut down the largest television station because they were anti-chavez. He declared it a law to expel any foreign national from his country if they are critical of Chavez. I guess it’s okay to come to the US and call Bush the devil, but don’t you DARE go to Venezuela and say anything negative. That might actually shift the power base…. Ellis needs to be recalled before he does more damage. Residents of Macon WAKE UP! This is YOUR representative to the world. For all other people know, he speaks for you. Recall him. Elect a sane mayor.

Perhaps Mayor Ellis has bothered to read “The New Pearl Harbor?” 9-11 is Bush/Cheney RC Fifth Column treason.
The Oath: “Protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.”
Rally America!
Chavez is against the same slave aristocracy Bush serves…and that America’s Founder recognized as “the real Anti-Christ.” …on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Those who see “evil,” whether in Saddam, Chavez, or “gay marriage,” and promote illegal immigration with a blind eye to Bush’s homosexual conduct and treason of 9-11 are Tory scum and must be addressed again.
1776 happened because the Whig Party made it. Are you ready to return to chains as well as continued submission to the unconstitutional Fed and their Fifth Column fascist plutocracy?
No.
9.2 million of us took the Oath and served honorably during Vietnam. Bush, Rove, Romney, Giuliani, Clinton, Gingrich and all their ilk cannot count themselves as one of us. How “odd” that Rockefeller and Rome choose only draft-dodgers, liars, plagiarists and perverts and “act” as leaders for Our Nation…and their crimes go unpunished.
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Death for Treason..

Will - I feel so badly for you. You deride a sitting President while applauding a dictator named Chavez, who stands against free speech, against free religion, and against liberty. Bush is not a homosexual, as you claim, and there is no evidence to support such an outrageous and bizarre accusation. While I think we need to affect real change in our immigration system, what does any of what you have to say have to do with anything? It’s rather funny to read what you write. Let me guess at a typical conversation with old Will here…. Hi Will. How’s it going? “the imperialist whig party was created by homosexuals in a cabal with Satan to destroy all liberty and stand against god.” Jeez Will. I just wanted to say hi. “Bush is a nazi and Chavez is a throwback to the old days of proper religious worship and anti-homosexual behaviors as evidenced by” Christ, Will. I no longer want to talk to you because you are a long winded, single minded freak who is incapable of observing his own insanity. Hence, we have Will. No doubt a lonely, sad, confused man who found solace in his kinsmanship with other conspiracy theorists with no root in reality.

Recalling Ellis is not an option. It was tried and thrown out of court more than once. Plus, he only has until the end of the year on his second term.
That being said, I look forward to an FBI investigation as to how the City of Macon went from a general fund balance of $23+million to being unable to make payroll. This occurred on Jack’s watch.
The recent elections show there is a ray of hope for the future of Macon. Let’s pray it isn’t wasted.

Yo Jim,
This Hugo Chavez phenomenon is gettting contagious down here. Two members of the Bibb County (Macon) Commission and GDOT are trying to immitate Chavez. The action is here:
