OPINION: REGIONAL COUNCILS- THE NEW SLAVE-MASTERS
For a central government to build a structure to direct the Individual in how they should live may be the most insulting offense that can be advanced
The Brothel, the Government Grant Prostitutes and how they are controlling your lives with National Government heroin, excuse me, ” free” grant money, to plan and influence your local community’s direction and decisions. They are removing from you the greatest single Freedom the Founding Fathers gave to us, the declaration that the Individual was the ultimate Sovereign and his personal civil rights were above all other law, within the confines of Nature’s Law. For a central government to build a structure to direct the Individual in how they should live may be the most insulting offense that can be advanced. Especially when it is coming from the National Government in direct contradiction to our Constitution.
And the insidious way they have done it since the mid 1960s is, or should be, or can only be defined as criminal. The fact that most people, or even most State officials don’t know who or what a Regional Council of Governments is creates a real problem since they run the Brothel. The Johnson Administration established these NGOs, Non Governmental Organizations, to serve as the federal grant administrators as part of the Great Society. They have now morphed in to something even more dangerous. For instance, if there is a new program, developed by the bureaucrats in a federal Department, the Regional Councils of Government are how the federal bureaucrats administer the program in to the county and local governments, totally bypassing the State governments. And our local and county governments have been trained to NEVER pass up the chance for a suitcase full of “free” federal government heroin, I mean, money.
(SPONSORED CONTENT – STORY CONTINUES BELOW)
Now that we have started to identify the problem, or the crime, how do we fix or prosecute it? I believe that first we have to get our State government’s people involved in the dialogue, since their rightful position in our governance is being totally usurped. Even though the States are Constitutionally empowered to define the operational governance for the counties and the townships, they are not directly involved in defining the operational governance of the Regional Councils. Doesn’t something just seem wrong about this whole deal? The Founders designed the federal government to be an entity of the States, not vise-versa, but the Regional Councils of Governments have been used by the Liberal-Progressives to make the county and local governments more an entity of the National Government than of the State governments.
Can a State Legislature pass bills that restrict the ability of County and local governments from accepting money directly from the National Government without State oversight on the programs that they finance? I must defer to the legal people on this question, but if not, what is the purpose of having a State government? Unless I’m seriously mistaken, counties and townships are legitimate governing units of the STATE government, not the National Government. If this is true then how can it be proper that the National Government totally usurps the authority of the State governments through direct bribes to county and township governments through the Regional Councils of Government? I think this question should, or even more so, must be asked.
God Bless America! And America, Bless God Again!

OK friends … this one is a homework assignment.
Joe Kernell has served as Greenville County Administrator since 2004. Over that time, he has become one of the most controversial figures in local Greenville politics. Despite repeated calls over the years—if not the past decade—to “make a change,” Kernell remains in place.
So what’s going on?
The 2024 County Council elections brought significant turnover, with four new members (out of twelve total) campaigning – at least in part – on removing Kernell. Yet, just before those new members were sworn in, his contract was renewed on December 3, 2024.
Then it happened again.
On January 20, 2026, Kernell’s contract was extended for an additional 18 months—reportedly as a “final” extension. Voters were told Council had no real option but to approve the extension.
But does that actually make sense?
Remember: Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.
So here’s the assignment:
Below are the employment contracts for Kernell dating back to 2006. Many of you have legal or human resources backgrounds. Take a close look and tell us what you see.
Is there – or was there – a way out of these contracts?
We’re told the answer is no. That Council’s hands were tied.
But as we often say: where there is a WILL, there is a WAY.
So the real question becomes:
Was there simply no will to replace Kernell?
