JUST THE WAY IT IS by Sloan Oliver
Woke FBI lies to America
L ast week, a Muslim
terrorist attacked a
Texas, Jewish syna
gogue. Wackos are
a reality in life. Fortunately,
only a small few act on their
craziness. When they do,
it’s often deadly, and their
target usually provides proof
of their ideology and mo
tive. For example, in 2015,
Dylan Roof killed nine black
members of Emanuel AME
Church in Charleston, SC.
Roof didn’t target a Dollar
General or Chic-fil-a; he
targeted a black church be
cause of his ideology
- hatred of blacks.
When an avowed
white supremacists
kills black people, the
motive is obvious.
To claim otherwise
shows one’s stupid
ity. Another
example was the
9-11 attacks on
America by a
group of Muslim terrorists.
The targets - Twin Towers,
the Pentagon, and an un
known target thought to be
the Capitol or White House
- proved their ideology
(hatred of America) and mo
tive (cripple the country by
attacking the financial, mili
tary, and political centers).
EVEN IF the attacker is
killed and leaves few clues
behind, their target proves
their ideology and mo
tive. Three examples of this
are the Pulse shooting in
Orlando (2016) by Omar
Mateen, the attempted as
sassination of Republican
lawmakers (2017) by James
Hodgkinson, and the Las
Vegas concert massacre
(2017) by Stephen Paddock.
First, Pulse was a gay night
club in Orlando. Mateen
was a Muslim who swore
allegiance to ISIS and to its
leader Abu Bakr al-Bagh-
dadi. In areas controlled by
ISIS (Syria) and countries
ruled by Sharia Law (Iran,
Afghanistan), Muslims
routinely execute homo
sexuals. So, Mateen’s target
(a gay nightclub) proves his
ideology (radical Islam) and
motive (hatred of gays). The
result was a terrorist attack
by a radical Muslim that
killed 49 and wounded 53.
IN 2017, Hodgkinson,
an avowed Bernie Sand
ers supporter, and Hillary
voter attempted to massacre
Republican lawmakers who
were at baseball practice
preparing for the annual
congressional baseball game.
Hodgkinson strolled up to
the baseball field, and asked
if the players were Democrat
or Republican. When told
they were Republi
cans, the Democrat
pulled out a gun
and started firing -
almost killing Steve
Scalise (R-LA), and
wounding three
other Republicans.
Hodgkin-
son’s target
V - (Republicans)
proved his
ideology (Marxist) and mo
tive (hatred of Republicans).
ALSO IN 2017, in Las
Vegas, with full automatic
weapons, Paddock opened
fire upon an outdoor, coun
try music concert of 10,000
people. Paddock’s attack
killed 60 and injured 400+.
After investigating for a full
year, the FBI was unable to
determine Paddock’s motive
or ideology. Really? Think
this through, who comes to
mind when you say “coun
try music concert?” Elderly
people, children, blacks,
Muslims, Asians, Hispan-
ics? No, true or not, when
you say country music, most
think of church going white
people - perhaps even red
necks; driving their pick-up
trucks, wearing blue jeans
and cowboy boots, drinking
longneck beers, who mostly
vote conservative. OK, let’s
assume the FBI’s, “We don’t
know his motive” is true.
I contend that the target
(people at a country music
concert) was his motive (kill
conservatives.), and a great
place to do that is a country
music concert.
SADLY, LEFTIST “woke
ness” has so permeated
federal agencies, especially
the FBI and DOJ, that they
refuse to see the obvious
even when people are killed
directly in front of them. Re
turn to last week’s synagogue
attack. An Islamic radical
burst into Congregation
Beth Israel, on Shabbat (the
Sabbath), took a rabbi and
three other Jews hostage. He
demanded the release of Aaf-
ia Siddiqui, a convicted, anti-
Semitic terrorist who is also
known as “Lady al-Qeada.”
The situation ended with the
hostages released and the
Muslim terrorist dead. Im
mediately, the FBI released a
statement that said the attack
was not specifically related to
the Jewish community, and
they were continuing their
search for a motive. Yes, you
should be as dumbfounded
as I. Rightfully, the Jewish
community was outraged
that the FBI was so “woke”
(stupid) that they refused to
see the anti-Semitic motive
of a Muslim terrorist. He
attacked a synagogue on the
Sabbath, took Jews hostage,
and demanded the release of
a Jew hating terrorist; yet, the
FBI was unable to deter
mine a motive? His target (a
Jewish synagogue) proved
his motive (hatred of Jews).
Only after universal backlash
did the FBI change its idiotic
statement and admitted his
motive.
THE FBI’s initial state
ment, “We don’t know why a
radical, anti-Semitic Muslim
attacked a Jewish synagogue”
should surprise no one. The
FBI, DOJ, State Depart
ment and the entire federal
government have gone so
ideologically Leftist that they
refuse to see the truth even
when the truth is obvious.
In 2020, on the 4th anniver
sary of the Pulse shooting,
Candidate Biden released a
statement about the shoot
ing but failed to mention
anything about radical Islam
and its hatred of homo
sexuals. Then, June 2021,
Andrew McCabe, former
Deputy FBI Director, on the
anniversary of Hodgkinson’s
assassination attempt on Re
publican lawmakers actually
said the FBI is uncertain of
the motive - McCabe made
that idiotic statement despite
the shooter having a list, in
his pocket, of Republican
lawmakers and specifically
asked if those present were
Republicans or Democrats.
FAST FORWARD to
today, the DOJ and the
FBI have actually claimed
that white supremacists are
the greatest threat facing
America. As proof of the
white supremacist threat,
the Dems and their media
(CNN, MSNBC, etc.) point
to the January 6th riot, falsely
claiming its effect on the na
tion is equal to the Pearl Har
bor and 9-11 attacks. Also,
the DOJ points to outraged
white (and black) parents
who vehemently protest at
school board meetings. The
DOJ activated a task force
to ferret out “dangerous”
parents. According to the
FBI, protesting parents who
don’t want racism taught to
their children are the greatest
threat - not radical Islam,
not Antifa or BLM that
killed dozens in 2020 riots,
and not inner-city thugs who
set murder records in at least
16 Democrat cities in 2021.
WHEN THE FBI and
DOJ refuse to state the obvi
ous - i.e. a Muslim attacked a
Jewish synagogue because he
hates Jews; a Bernie Sand
ers supporter attempted to
murder Republican lawmak
ers because he hates Repub
licans - because the obvious
doesn’t fit the Leftist narra
tive; it makes me question all
statements and conclusions
reached by the DOJ and
FBI, especially the Las Vegas
shooting where they still
can’t find a motive. Look at
the target; that’s the motive.

POPEYES
Continued from Front
months, putting the goal for
opening Popeyes sometime
in late summer.
Shackelford said he is still
waiting for the final set of
plans; so all dates are rough
estimates. Shackelford of
Tobesofkee Crossing LLC
built the Popeyes on Thom-
aston Road in Macon in
2021. It is the third Popeyes
in Macon.
The Popeyes in Forsyth
will be on N. Lee Street at
the corner of Russell Park
way, near Walmart. The site
is a vacant out-parcel. Bry
ant Engineering of Forsyth
created the site plan.
City manager Janice Hall
told members of the Plan
ning & Zoning Commis
sion that they were only to
consider the exterior of the
building and the plan for
the grounds around it. She
said the plans don’t call for
any variances from the city’s
zoning ordinances and any
variances needed for signs
will be brought to the Com
mission later.
Planning & Zoning chair
Steve Coleman said there is
a retention pond just north
of the site, which takes care
of some site issues for the
construction, as well as the
fact there is only a slight
grade to the site. Shackel
ford guessed the restaurant
will employee about 15
people.
Popeyes was founded
in New Orleans in 1972
and serves chicken dishes
with sides like red beans
& rice, Cajun fries, bis
cuits, coleslaw, etc. It was
acquired by Restaurant
Brands International, which
also owns Burger King, in
2017. In 2019 it began sell
ing a chicken sandwich to
compete with Chick-fil-As
that received a lot of media
attention.
THIEVES
Continued from Front
lottery machines when
Parks opened the door
to machine #2, took out
the money box and put it
beside the machine. White
went to sit next to him
while Parks counted out
$3,009 and returned the
empty box back to ma
chine. He then gave most
of the money to White
and placed the rest in his
pocket. The men then did
the same at machine #8,
removing $248, bringing
the total amount to $3,257.
Large amounts of cash
were found on both Parks
and White. Parks had
$1003 and White had
a total of $3171. Both
insisted the money was
theirs. Parks said the door
to the machine fell open
and that he took the box
out of the machine but
left the money. He said he
returned the box and shut
the door. White said he
had nothing to do with it.
Warrants are being
sought on both men for
felony theft by taking.
