The feedback from Terry Carter’s “Battle of Atlanta…” is nothing short of overwhelming. It was written for the May 2011 edition of The American Bar Association Journal, (ABAJOURNAL). View this article @ http://www.abajournal.com. Then click CURRENT ISSUE; FEATURE SECTION and the first article is “Battle of Atlanta: Fight Over a Downtown Homeless Shelter Strains Some Down-Home Ties.”
The Baker Donelson attorneys have operated masterfully in the ongoing lawsuits against the City of Atlanta as well as the racketeering lawsuit against conspirators such as Manny “Do you smell a fault?” Fialkow, Central Atlanta Progress, Atlanta Downtown Improvement District, Cousins Properties, and Emory Health Care, to name a few.
These lawsuits are unique in the history of Atlanta. Never has the good ole boy downtown buddy system known as Central Atlanta Progress, ever been challenged for its strong-arm antics. Imagine, 50 years of plantation mentality that has never once been questioned!
Throw in the muscle-bound and opulent Emory Health Care, Inc. alongside the tainted developer Manny ‘Do you smell a fault?” Fialkow, and you have a witches’ brew that would draw the attention of any hungry jury. It already smells to high heaven, and Steve Hall and Bob Brazier of the prestigious Baker Donelson Firm have not yet made the turn toward second base. Yogi Berra would say, “It’s getting late early.”
The contents of Terry Carter’s “Battle for Atlanta…” must be told across our beloved city and across the good skies of America. The wronged poor should not have to endure the Jack Hardins and Manny Fialkows and Debi Starnes even in good ole boy Atlanta. The two monotone media blips in Atlanta, the AJC and the limp CREATIVE LOAFING will never touch this story that is now nationwide. I doubt if the AJC will cover the story even when TEAM GOLIATH sits in front of a jury in a court of law.
But neither the narrow AJC nor the noodle LOAFER is needed. 60 MINUTES, 20-20, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, THE WASHINGTON POST and many other reputable newspapers are not owned by Cousins or Emory or Coca-Cola. The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE has never heard of Rector “Doing Justice” Hoare or his Peachtree Corridor Churches. THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR wouldn’t recognize A. J. Robinson if he danced naked on an electrified rug, unless they had seen his video clip in Terry Carter’s article.
Please find ways to get Carter’s words to people who might care. A Washington, D. C. lawyer said today that this ABA JOURNAL is the best thing he has read and that he has sent it to everyone he knows. He added that it will be read by a million lawyers across America.
Public opinion is huge. I know. Contributions, public and private for The Pine have dwindle following lies broadcast by the likes of Debi Starnes and Horace Sibley. People like them have created the myths of lice infestation and outbreaks of tuberculosis and squalor (Rector Hoare) and human feces (Manny Fialkow). This ABA JOURNAL article lifts the veil exposing the real pig pen.
Please remember with me that English poet, John Milton, in late 1548 published, ON THE TENURE OF KINGS. The thesis of that document holds that if the King (Charles I of England) is removed from the throne, his head also must be removed from his body. Scholars tell us that almost every person in England who could read, in fact, would have read Milton’s pamphlet by the end of January 1549.
How effective were Milton’s words? On a bitterly cold January 30 afternoon in 1549, King Charles I was beheaded near London’s Whitehall Palace with a frozen Thames nearby. Milton’s pamphlet did not sever Charles’ head from his body. But it shifted public opinion in favor of execution. Truths like “Battle of Atlanta…” shift public opinion.
Atlanta does not have a frozen Thames, but it’s getting unusually chilly downtown near The Hurt Building and over at City Hall. Not one of these conspirators once dreamed they could get caught. What a sight, almost too much to behold. A dozen of them standing there exposed with there small clothes snug around their ankles. And sad Starnes stands in their midst. My dear Lord, what a morning when the stars begin to fall. Good night “Train wreck!”

A Response to SACRED GRAMMAR
May 16, 2011
For a month a home-school teacher in California has used my SACRED GRAMMAR with her five students. I want to share with you the following unsolicited comment:
“My nephew just asked, ‘Hey, Aunt Nessie, are we going to do SACRED GRAMMAR today?’ I replied, ‘Yes.’ He jumped up and said, ‘YES! I love SACRED GRAMMAR!’
“What in the world?!!! I have been meaning to tell you that we are really enjoying this book…not only are my kids excited to learn Grammar, I am thrilled to learn with them. I am convinced that Grammar is the foundation to all other subjects, and it is crucial for us to have this base. It really is changing how we learn and how we speak to one another. It saddens me to know that they have removed this precious gem from public schools. Thank you so much!
“Will, my nephew, also mentioned his favorite part of the book is its Biblical base…it really is one of their favorite parts of the day. We sit in our beautiful patio, sip on some tea and learn together.”
