I have lived in Cumming City, Forsyth Co for 48 years. I was family friends with the original city attorneys, judges & churches. I feel completely horrified by the satanic infiltration of this county, and north GA, a home of GOD's people, farms, and mountains. This county, the South, and all of the Appalachian mountains belong to GOD YAHWEH ADONAI. Forsyth Co will not be controlled by a 'Chicago mafia', mini DC, liberal 'Rino', WEF backed 'oligarchy.

We are pretty new to Forsyth, having been here for not quite 4 years. I read your articles regularly but admit I don't really understand all the ins and outs, and long time personalities you allude to. However, it's pretty clear that Forsyth is a cesspool of nefarious politicians, which is so disappointing. Unfortunately, I didn't have many options on my recent ballot. And I am now disturbed to think that the BOE member I thought was a good guy is possibly bought and paid for as well; not sure because you didn't name names, but it would seem that way. Ugh. Going off grid is looking more and more appealing...But these bastards will track us down and get their pound of flesh, or a new worthless county building, no matter where we go it seems.

Thank you for your comment, Gabriela. Welcome to Forsyth County. You are in a good place. Do not fret about that. I love where I live and would not change a thing about that. I doubt Forsyth County politicians are much worse than any other comparable place you might have chosen.

In my opinion, the problem is universal. I have written about it several times. The kinds of people who generally seek office, also seek adulation, seek public affirmation, and at the same time, seek opportunities for personal benefit that naturally come their way as elected officials. It is a universal human frailty.

President Eisenhower encouraged us to together become "an alert and knowledgeable citizenry," for only such a citizenry "can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." Now, he was talking about the military-industrial complex. But the same is true for any private interests seeking to take advantage of governmental systems for their own purposes. And that is why, as a society, we have a job to do to watch and scrutinize our elected officials. That is what self-government is. And that is why I do what I do. We all need to do more. Good to hear from you.

You need an organized group to counter the "Club". First, take over the county GOP to deprive them of their base and then run quality candidates against them. Finding the candidates will actually be the most difficult part.

There is a place at the Cumming city called tin cup grill, the upstairs portion is called “The Club” its Mayor Brumbelows go to, I have seen him there many times, have also seen him clear the patio of customers to make way for him and his “Club”

All the county seem to have a hand in almost all of the establishments there. Further down the rabbit hole is the “Four Carsons Entertainemnt” locally owned business charging a few of the restaurants thousands of dollars for a “free, public concert” they recently paid a band $20-$30k for a show, and charged it to the restaurants. Side note- I hired the same band for 2k less than a year prior. Sham sham shame.
