Set The Record Straight; Mr. Mayor and Council

August 19, 2010

Strange Minutes Entry: “George, Loves coming before elected Officials.”
Aug 5, 2010, Meeting Omissions by local Press! Quote from July 8, 2010 Minutes as saying: That “I loves coming before the elected officials.” For the Record; I do not love coming before you TODAY:

START OF ADDRESS: IF:

1. IF, our local press had not ignored: An Address by (Ms. Hicks) who explained that she had no faith in attending council meetings because it serves little to no purpose.

2. IF, our local press had not ignored: The Director of the Southside Recreation Center, wherein she gave words of thanks and appreciation to the council for understanding the importance of investing in our youths.


3. IF, our local press “HAD NOT” ignored: Mr. Roy Taylor, a Very Successful Business owner wherein he spoke against local governments using outside contractors and ignoring our own local contractors. Thereby contributing to the crime rate, increasing unemployment, and we don’t know if outside workers are American Citizens or not.

4. IF, our local press “HAD NOT” ignored: My address (George Boston Rhynes) about a Retired Senior Master Sergeant from Fort Worth Texas about our jail problem dating back to October 1970, and an alleged suicide of his roommate Airman Rodger Lynn Young. This death has caused this retired Senior Master Sergeant to suffer from PTSD until this day I am told.

a. That Lowndes County Attorney for the Sheriffs Department “does not” believe that citizens have a right to know how many jail deaths have occurred in or surrounding the Valdosta-Lowndes County Jail. Which are in contrasts with the Secretary of States Office (OPR) as I was told while in Atlanta a few weeks ago?

5. IF, our Local press “HAD NOT” ignored: My address (George Boston Rhynes) concerning a White Female Jailed Inmate that signed all notification forms when she was booked.

a. Her bond was set at $3,500.00.

b. After three or four weeks HER MOTHER called me. And asked who had bailed her daughter out of jail? I said no local organization that I was aware of----had paid the $3,500.00 bail. The mother found out that her daughter was released on her own recognizance without paying the fine. The mother did not know where her daughter was located. How sad?

c. So the mother started calling area hospitals until she found out; that her daughter had been admitted to South Georgia Medical Center ICU. ------She called me and asked if I would accompany her to the hospital because she feared for her daughter’s life. Upon arriving we discovered that she had been in ICU----for two to three days, and they had JUST moved her to room 447. She had been released without paying the $3,500.00 BOND, apparently to receive medical treatment in IC, ---from the jail.

d. But no one informed the mother or brother about her medical conditions. So how many American Citizens must suffer from this three decade old, ROUTINE PROBLEM. Where there NOT News Media Outlets in Valdosta, Georgia to report these alleged abuses against humanity in the United States of America?

e. Talking about: Shredding the constitution, family values, Health Care, right to life & respecting the unborn, smaller government, reducing taxes, frivolous law suits, and honoring our military veterans etc. How can WE be for these good attributes and ignore them in our own COMMUNITY for over THIRTY-YEARS?

f. This “White Female Inmate,” had all of her front teeth knocked out, bruises on her toes, two deep gouges on both legs, in other places BUT was scared to death. But “THANKFUL” to still be alive---and SEE that somebody cared! Although she did not know how; what had happened to her, while in the hands of “LAW ENFORCEMENT.” And her family members were NEVER notified about her medical conditions. {This has become a routine practice and pattern in the last thirty-years}

g. Her mother and brother asked me, George, why did NOT the Sheriffs Department or South Georgia Medical Center tell US? Can you explain------that to me?

h. I said, “WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR DECADES; BUT OR ELECTED OFFICIALS PAY US NO ATTENTION. THEY JUST DON’T CARE HERE IN VALDOSTA OR IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA.” NO BODY CARES HERE IN TITLE TOWN USA!

i. Apparently: This is NOT serious enough; for CITY COUNCIL, LOCAL PRESS, or CITIZENS to ask. Who is she? How is she doing now? Where is she? How could this be; with all religious places of worship in Title Town USA? Who will pay for this WHITE CITIZEN dental work? Why wasn’t the general public informed? How sad----among all of our elected officials? Let the minutes reflect; “that I do not-----love coming before elected officials” but because I care about people “outside of myself.”

6. Since many local attorneys already know about the jail problems. I hope, and I pray that at least one will take a stand and do what is right. By deviating from the old Valdosta 1860 City Charter Mentality—of SUPPRESSING, CONTROLLING, and ABATINGE that which is guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States of America here in Title Town USA-----for the good of the general public.

7. So if we, refuse to change our (Ostrich) ways. I am 100% sure as I was before the 1860 Charter was removed, before Barber Park Name was changed among other things. That God will eventually send greater men and women to straighten out what local elected officials have refused to fix after several decades of operation. So the pain and suffering of local citizens and tourists alike will end in our beloved community. As it is spoken and written; so will it be done---if there is a true and living God----in the United States of America! That will lift the spell of the Leviathan from over the masses of the people. AMEN!

P.S. Be not deceived! This is NOT a new problem here in Valdosta. One only need to look at our Local School Systems, Hiring of Blacks in local, county, state, and federal job positions, rewarding of government contracts to Blacks and poor Whites, building toxic pollution plants in the black Community, and the list goes on, and on, and on.

This is with little to no opposition even among elected officials that refuse to address the Black Community in the same manner as Whites are informed about public meetings. They only appear on local predominately White radio stations without even providing a simple response. This too I hope will be council for supporting the action by their silence. To God be the glory.
