Nix wrote that his office believed that the school district had additional documents that had not been seized when authorities executed a series of search warrants in October.<br /><br />Pat Pope formerly worked as the district’s chief operating officer, overseeing school construction projects. Nix said in the letter that the documents he sought involved allegations that Pope circumvented state bidding laws in order to steer contract awards to her now-estranged husband, architect Vincent “Tony” Pope, the couple’s friend, Lithonia builder David Moody, and Turner Construction Company.<br /><br />The school district rejected the request, citing attorney-client privilege.<br /><br />The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Dec. 13 that the District Attorney’s Office was investigating six school construction projects and any others involving Tony Pope, Moody or architect Vernell Barnes. Tony Pope worked on three of the six identified projects, while Barnes and Moody worked on two apiece. Turner Construction worked on one of them."</i><br /><br />http://www.ajc.com/news/dekalb/dekalb-d-a-sought-269613.html<br /><br />This is getting weird. As we've discussed before, it was Lewis who initially called for the investigation. Now - he's not cooperating???!!<br /><br />Justice - please share whatever evidence you have with lead investigator Nix at the DA's office -- if you haven't already.Cerebrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161868015604029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-2999026312375835262009-12-31T18:09:30.656-05:002009-12-31T18:09:30.656-05:00Justice, why did you stop the 12 days of informati...Justice, why did you stop the 12 days of information?<br />Will you be giving us any more information?<br />Are you going to use your information to put the criminals behind bars?<br />When will the book be ready?<br />Thanks for all of your information to date.<br />I am sure things aren't what they seem.rumors and preverifcationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106177699599841053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-56563621131815105682009-12-31T12:47:26.941-05:002009-12-31T12:47:26.941-05:00Justice is still here! Never fear.......
Know th...Justice is still here! Never fear.......<br /><br />Know this - I dance to my own tune and I beat my own drum. The information that I have shared so far is so so so miniscule that it is almost laughable. Give me a little more credit than that. (And yet the emails that I continue to receive for pre-orders of my book, for additional information, for interviews, for investigative help, etc. is AMAZING!). This is not a job for the average, the weak or the meek at heart....<br /><br />For me, this DeKalb situation is most fascinating...kinda reminds me of a Rubic's Cube. A Puzzle. And I am proud to say that I have broken the code. Solved the puzzle. Got the answers. Know the connections and all of the diabolical intricacies involved. Now, let me say...I am blown away by the Brillance of such a scheme. Truly. So much so that I wrote a book about it BLACKBOARD CORRUPT! And am now working on my second book JUSTICE IN DEKALB - The Aftermath! <br /><br />As for the "Anon" who continues to cast asperions my way ....... Whatever. So unworthy of a response from me.......<br /><br />In retrospect, I imagine that I could have connected the dots a bit more for my fellow Bloggers, however, this is a situation in which...either you get it or you don't . The Broward address in Florida with the Popes and Cooper Co. seems to have been received with mix reviews, which I find interesting because for me, the very foundation of this diabolical scheme rests on the ability to see what others can not see ...connect what others have missed. But, again, do not take that piece of the puzzle in isolation....do not so easily disregard that important piece of the puzzle so quickly. <br /><br />In order to de-construct this master plan...you must acknowledge the motivator (money from construction fraud) and understand the relationships of the parties involved. Next, look for the common links...but always always remember that nothing is as it seems! <br /><br />As for the Heery/Mitchell lawsuit...the research that I did at the courthouse was 2 incredible days....the info gather simply confirmed some of my previous findings but by no means ...and I mean by no means is this what I have used to make my case. As a matter of a fact, I would caution anyone out there to be weary of true "justice" coming out of that case. Too political. Too much money....too many bodies burried! Do your research, people!<br /> <br />Confession time...it took me approx 3 to 5 months to uncover this constrution corruption and about 2 years to thoroughly research. Not conjecture but solid proof. I am simply discriminate with who I share my documents and information with.

If you go to Pat Pope's deposition in the Heery Mitchel Case and also look over her fake/phony resume'... you will see that she formerly employed by Lathrop (a division of Turner Contruction) and Manhattan Construction who also have contracts in DCSS (New Oakvale/Oakview elementary, Stephenson HS)... (CAN U SAY KICKBACKS!!!!)<br /><br />Also, we are putting alot of emphasis on this whole Pat Pope thing...does anyone feel like this may be somewhat of a smoke screen....what about the Ronald Ramsey connection or some of the other contruction cronies that keep popping up that no one hase mentioned... for example... R.L. Brown... heck if we are going to uncover the truth...lets take a good look at all of the companies that keep getting contracts...so that we can make some real connections and for those that feel slighted...build a REAL case against DCSS... I smell a class action lawsuit coming on!!!!<br /><br />Also something strange on her(Pat Pope's) phony resume' (which is also on record at the superior court) is that she lists that she was "referred" by Dr. Pritchett. Interesting....this thing is bigger than any of could imagine... <br /><br />Now these may all be "coincidental" occurrences...but i suggest that instead of bloggin about it...let's be about it! Let's put all this evidence together and start up a class action lawsuit. They are squandering our tax dollars, cheating our children, lying under oath...I am sure with all of this info coming out...we just may have a case....Stop Corruptionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-11667570791854593852009-12-26T11:26:17.149-05:002009-12-26T11:26:17.149-05:00We had quite a bit of conversation here at the blo...We had quite a bit of conversation here at the blog concerning how much of Justice's comments to allow. We tried to allow only the ones with reasonable materials to back up (which Justice actually sent us via email). Some of it surely is circumstantial, but some of it seems to be valid. All of it will come out in the trial set to begin in March - which we are all hoping will be covered in detail by the AJC.<br /><br />For anyone who cares, there are already over 50 boxes of evidence and testimony at the courthouse which can be reviewed by the public. (Open Records and all...) Much of what Justice refers to comes from those documents. Much of it, however, is Justice's own conjecture, some of which could use some more evidence for back up.<br /><br />Keep your eye on this story - it's going to get very interesting, IMO. And, if the board approves a pay raise for Lewis, I predict that all they will really be doing is raising the amount of his retirement pension check, cause this trial could definitely move him to choose retirement.Cerebrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161868015604029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151096942903989101.post-1339541902488251732009-12-26T08:25:38.000-05:002009-12-26T08:25:38.000-05:00I assume Justice is now seeking counsel.

Checked into the Cooper connection. Popes offices are in Curtoom offices in Broward County. Neither have a tie with either Cooper Construction or Cooper Cary.<br /><br />Second most likely being a DCSS employee and blogging on their system wouldn't this be a problem for DCSS? <br /><br />Another question Justice. If the DA is looking into contract irregularities beween the Popes, why was the list of firms raided limited to the Popes, Moody and Barnes? Why not the other contractors associated with these projects? <br /><br />Something very fishy about this. I wonder if Justice is not behind all of this?

Hmmmm, looks like the BUDGETED amount for Tucker has gone DOWN to $64,965,016. Who does that Pat Pope think she is coming in under budget for a project and saving the taxpayers dollars that can be used on other projects? You are right Justice, this is the kind of person DeKalb needs to get rid of. We'd rather go back to the days of Heery-Mitchell soaking DeKalb by underbidding on projects then sending in change orders to an unknowing Board and screwing up projects like Southwest DeKalb.<br /><br />By the way Justice, can any firm bid on a public RFP? How does that work? Has DeKalb put up illegal barriers that would keep any responsible, responsive bid from being accepted?
