You''d be wrong.\r\n\r\nStrip mining has and continues to be the largest industry in Scotland County. It''s occurring right under our noses, in broad daylight.\r\n\r\nThe Laurinburg Exchange (LE) recently <strong><a href="https://www.laurinburgexchange.com/news/19045/block-drops-out-of-commissioner-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">excoriated</span></span></a></strong> Laurinburg Mayor Matthew Block for ''being against virtually everything'':\r\n<blockquote><em>"Considering the biggest issues to face Laurinburg and Scotland County over the past couple of years, we have found it incredulous that the city’s mayor would take a stance against each and every one of them, regardless of their potential positives for the future.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>The new Laurinburg City Hall … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The consolidation of schools … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The multi-cultural center … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The quarter-cent sales tax referendum … he fought it".</em></blockquote>\r\nTake notice that every item on LE''s list of ''Biggest Issues'' share one thing in common. They all involve <b>Spending lots of </b><u><b>Your</b></u><b> Money,</b> <b>Raising </b><u><b>Your</b></u><b> Taxes and placing </b><u><b>You</b></u><b> in Bonded Debt</b>!\r\n\r\nIf the items on this list are so important and have so much positive potential why doesn''t LE''s owner, Champion Media, just write a check to fund these projects instead of trying to massage and manipulate us into doing it with our hard earned money?\r\n\r\nWhat exactly are the ''<b>potential positives for the future''</b> that LE talks about when it comes to spending money we don''t have? We''re stumped, but we sure can think of a plenty of negatives.\r\n\r\nThe thing you can be sure of is, if your reading the LE you''re getting spoon fed the party line of those interests whose agenda includes strip mining our county until there is nothing left.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignright wp-image-2759" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mayor-matthew-block-is-no-saint.jpg" alt="" width="177" height="283" />Mayor Matthew Block is no saint, but how would your life look if held up to a microscope? While most area politicos are focused on naming our new (and expensive) school and choosing colour schemes for new Community/Multi-cultural Centers, Matt Block has had the presence of mind and courage to call out the waste, fraud, corruption and abuse behind these efforts.\r\n\r\nIt''s never easy being out on the point taking flak while fellow politicos duck for cover.\r\n\r\nIs Matt Block the only one willing to call out the fact that Scotland County/Laurinburg are being strip mined by some very shady characters and entities?\r\n\r\nIt''s not often that one can get everything wrong all of the time. Heck, if you simply toss a coin you''ll get things right half the time. That being said, Scotland County/Laurinburg Commissions have a 100% spotless record for spending money we don''t have on expensive, worthless boondoggles we can''t afford.\r\n\r\nScotland County/Laurinburg have Zero ability to fund anything, let alone multi-million dollar Community/Multi-Cultural Centers, without borrowing money, raising taxes and fees, or raising tax rates.\r\n\r\nWe already have far too much Bonded Debt and Sky High Tax Rates; <b>what Scotland County desperately needs is </b><u><b>too much revenue</b></u><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nInstead of endless gnashing of teeth finding new ways to waste money we don''t have, how about our Commissioners spend a few moments discussing how to grow revenues and get finances on a sustainable path?\r\n\r\nFew can argue that Scotland County/Laurinburg are presently headed in a ''positive direction''. The only growth we have going on is an ever expanding cannibalistic government bureaucracy that serves an ever growing list of moochers feeding at the public trough.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft wp-image-2753" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/fleeing-scotland-county.png" alt="" width="162" height="116" />The sad thing is, even with all this ''other people''s money'', we can''t make ends meet and must either borrow money, turning our citizens into bonded debt slaves, or tax them to death. Let''s not forget these are the go-go days with the economy booming as America is being made great again. What''s going to happen when the next financial crisis comes? If we don''t change our ways, we will surely be up a creek without a paddle, as those who have skinned us alive will be long gone, leaving us with a legacy of unpayable debt and taxes so high that those who can, flee.\r\n\r\nHere are a few questions regarding proposed Community and Multi-Cultural Centers:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How many Scotland County/Laurinburg citizens will actually be paying the taxes required to build and maintain these facilities? Do you actually pay taxes or are you a net moocher?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How many police and sheriff''s deputies will be needed to keep a lid on things so that stabbings, shootings, fights and muggings at the ''Centers'' remain within acceptable community standards? Who is going to pay for this extra policing?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How much will it cost to clean up grounds, hallways and restrooms everyday that are filled with trash, garbage, needles and other drug paraphernalia? Where is the money going to come from?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How much will it cost to remove human feces and urine contamination from the swimming pool on an ongoing basis? Public pools all over our nation are struggling with this very issue.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe Laurinburg Exchange is doing a great job of spearheading cheerleading efforts to spend <u><b>Your</b></u> hard earned money under a wave of phony populism that it is largely responsible for generating. Let''s leave it to these Pollyannas to put a smiley face on this disaster. The rest of us will be better off facing the reality that we''re broke and we''re allowing a bunch of corrupt plutocrats to make us even more broke.\r\n\r\n<b>It''s time to close this strip mine!</b>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/matthew-block-unexpectedly-withdraws-from-county-commission-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Block unexpectedly withdraws from County Commission Race!</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/vote-no-on-scotland-county-referendum-to-increase-sales-use-tax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vote NO on Scotland County Referendum to Increase Sales &amp; Use Tax</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/video-century-enslavement-history-federal-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Century of Enslavement (video)</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

(3374, 1, '2019-01-08 12:38:54', '2019-01-08 17:38:54', '(PIC)<span style="color: #0000ff;">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley was arrested November 30, 2018 by the Scotland County Sheriff''s Department for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old student at Carver Middle School in Laurinburg, North Carolina. This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.\r\n\r\nThe fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. It appears such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.\r\n\r\nWhat''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.\r\n\r\nCertainly there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.\r\n\r\nChildren are becoming sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s been well known for decades that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up amongst the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey had married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as most legislation is written by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, including law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley sits in a jail cell, her job and career destroyed. What''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation.\r\n\r\nWhy must so much of our population be locked up, and for so long? Are we as a nation doing something wrong?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centred, immature social media and gaming junkies?\r\n\r\nWhat about our schools, colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately cover its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher was assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime. This young woman''s life hangs in the balance.\r\n\r\nWhat would Jesus do?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;">123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">HIDE: Related Posts and Flycheck on side --&gt;</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">ALL LINKS - Change to Blue</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

Ward presently serves as Vice President of First Bank''s Laurinburg Branch. He''s an area native and UNC graduate.\r\n\r\nWith a strong background in Finance and depth of local experience, Ward can be expected to demonstrate results that have eluded others.\r\n\r\nTurning our severely depressed economy around isn''t going to be fast or easy, nor will it be like the old days, which as difficult as they were,  pretty much involved attracting new business and industry using taxpayer funds to essentially ''buy'' jobs. The time has come to actually ''create'' jobs.\r\n\r\nEmployers and jobs haven''t just fled Scotland County, they''ve fled America and today we''re competing on a global scale. Given Scotland County''s extremely negative education, health and job skill  demographics, it''s going to be an uphill battle every step of the way. Our high and growing crime rate and burdensome level of taxation won''t make the job any easier.\r\n\r\nEvery city, county, state and nation is trying to attract business, industry and jobs too. The competition is fierce, and to make matters worse, the global economy is struggling, the pie is shrinking at the very time there are a growing number of mouths to feed.\r\n\r\nAdd to this already formidable challenge the fact that today''s economy is a fast moving, ever changing target. Technology is advancing at the speed of light, sweeping existing paradigms into the ditch. This trend will only continue to escalate. It''s no time to be standing around with hands in your pockets. It''s eat or be eaten.\r\n\r\nWe''ve got a lot of work ahead of us if we''re to even have a shot at becoming players in tomorrow''s world. It''s a deep hole we''ve dug here in Scotland County and it''s going to take some real shoveling to fill it in, lay a foundation and build upon it.\r\n\r\nWe wish Mark Ward the very best and offer our genuine spirit of cooperation and support. In exchange, we expect to see not only a real effort, but real results.\r\n\r\nIt doesn''t take any special skill or talent to ''buy'' jobs using taxpayer money, just ask Charlotte-Mecklenburg. They''ve learned the hard way that, given the right incentives, you can get them to come, you just can''t make them stay, no matter what the ''contract'' says. When corporations are done feeding at one taxpayer trough, they quickly move on to the next. Economic development entities that play this game are engaged in a <strong>race to the bottom</strong> and nothing more. Past Scotland County ED directors have tried this and failed.\r\n\r\nWe expect the jobs, when they come, to be real jobs, not taxpayer money changing hands from one pocket to the other. We''ve got enough shell games going already. We also expect an open, transparent directorship. Scotland County doesn''t need any more highly paid parasites working behind closed doors, hiding from those who pay the bills.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>It''s time to get moving!</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<address>You reach Carolina Crossroads News at (888) 472-7555 or send us an <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">email</a></span>.</address><address> </address><address>Related Articles:</address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/open-honest-transparent-city-council-needed/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Open, Honest, Transparent City Council Needed</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/privacy-surveillance-spying-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Privacy, Surveillance, Spying (VIDEO)</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news/mayor-police-chief-poised-to-shift-gears/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayor &amp; Police Chief Poised to Shift Gears</a></span></address><address> </address><address>Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page may be affiliate links which, if used to purchase products, would yield a small commission to CarolinaCrossroads.News.

You''d be wrong.\r\n\r\nStrip mining has and continues to be the largest industry in Scotland County. It''s occurring right under our noses, in broad daylight.\r\n\r\nThe Laurinburg Exchange (LE) recently <strong><a href="https://www.laurinburgexchange.com/news/19045/block-drops-out-of-commissioner-race" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0066cc;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">excoriated</span></span></a></strong> Laurinburg Mayor Matthew Block for ''being against virtually everything'':\r\n<blockquote><em>"Considering the biggest issues to face Laurinburg and Scotland County over the past couple of years, we have found it incredulous that the city’s mayor would take a stance against each and every one of them, regardless of their potential positives for the future.</em>\r\n\r\n<em>The new Laurinburg City Hall … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The consolidation of schools … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The multi-cultural center … he fought it.</em>\r\n<em>The quarter-cent sales tax referendum … he fought it".</em></blockquote>\r\nTake notice that every item on LE''s list of ''Biggest Issues'' share one thing in common. They all involve <b>Spending lots of </b><u><b>Your</b></u><b> Money,</b> <b>Raising </b><u><b>Your</b></u><b> Taxes and placing </b><u><b>You</b></u><b> in Bonded Debt</b>!\r\n\r\nIf the items on this list are so important and have so much positive potential why doesn''t LE''s owner, Champion Media, just write a check to fund these projects instead of trying to massage and manipulate us into doing it with our hard earned money?\r\n\r\nWhat exactly are the ''<b>potential positives for the future''</b> that LE talks about when it comes to spending money we don''t have? We''re stumped, but we sure can think of a plenty of negatives.\r\n\r\nThe thing you can be sure of is, if your reading the LE you''re getting spoon fed the party line of those interests whose agenda includes strip mining our county until there is nothing left.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignright wp-image-2759" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/mayor-matthew-block-is-no-saint.jpg" alt="" width="177" height="283" />Mayor Matthew Block is no saint, but how would your life look if held up to a microscope? While most area politicos are focused on naming our new (and expensive) school and choosing colour schemes for new Community/Multi-cultural Centers, Matt Block has had the presence of mind and courage to call out the waste, fraud, corruption and abuse behind these efforts.\r\n\r\nIt''s never easy being out on the point taking flak while fellow politicos duck for cover.\r\n\r\nIs Matt Block the only one willing to call out the fact that Scotland County/Laurinburg are being strip mined by some very shady characters and entities?\r\n\r\nIt''s not often that one can get everything wrong all of the time. Heck, if you simply toss a coin you''ll get things right half the time. That being said, Scotland County/Laurinburg Commissions have a 100% spotless record for spending money we don''t have on expensive, worthless boondoggles we can''t afford.\r\n\r\nScotland County/Laurinburg have Zero ability to fund anything, let alone multi-million dollar Community/Multi-Cultural Centers, without borrowing money, raising taxes and fees, or raising tax rates.\r\n\r\nWe already have far too much Bonded Debt and Sky High Tax Rates; <b>what Scotland County desperately needs is </b><u><b>too much revenue</b></u><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nInstead of endless gnashing of teeth finding new ways to waste money we don''t have, how about our Commissioners spend a few moments discussing how to grow revenues and get finances on a sustainable path?\r\n\r\nFew can argue that Scotland County/Laurinburg are presently headed in a ''positive direction''. The only growth we have going on is an ever expanding cannibalistic government bureaucracy that serves an ever growing list of moochers feeding at the public trough.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft wp-image-2753" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/fleeing-scotland-county.png" alt="" width="162" height="116" />The sad thing is, even with all this ''other people''s money'', we can''t make ends meet and must either borrow money, turning our citizens into bonded debt slaves, or tax them to death. Let''s not forget these are the go-go days with the economy booming as America is being made great again. What''s going to happen when the next financial crisis comes? If we don''t change our ways, we will surely be up a creek without a paddle, as those who have skinned us alive will be long gone, leaving us with a legacy of unpayable debt and taxes so high that those who can, flee.\r\n\r\nHere are a few questions regarding proposed Community and Multi-Cultural Centers:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How many Scotland County/Laurinburg citizens will actually be paying the taxes required to build and maintain these facilities? Do you actually pay taxes or are you a net moocher?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How many police and sheriff''s deputies will be needed to keep a lid on things so that stabbings, shootings, fights and muggings at the ''Centers'' remain within acceptable community standards? Who is going to pay for this extra policing?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How much will it cost to clean up grounds, hallways and restrooms everyday that are filled with trash, garbage, needles and other drug paraphernalia? Where is the money going to come from?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>How much will it cost to remove human feces and urine contamination from the swimming pool on an ongoing basis? Public pools all over our nation are struggling with this very issue.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe Laurinburg Exchange is doing a great job of spearheading cheerleading efforts to spend <u><b>Your</b></u> hard earned money under a wave of phony populism that it is largely responsible for generating. Let''s leave it to these Pollyannas to put a smiley face on this disaster. The rest of us will be better off facing the reality that we''re broke and we''re allowing a bunch of corrupt plutocrats to make us even more broke.\r\n\r\n<b>What would Jesus do?</b>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span></strong>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/matthew-block-unexpectedly-withdraws-from-county-commission-race/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Matthew Block unexpectedly withdraws from County Commission Race!</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/vote-no-on-scotland-county-referendum-to-increase-sales-use-tax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vote NO on Scotland County Referendum to Increase Sales &amp; Use Tax</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/video-century-enslavement-history-federal-reserve/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Century of Enslavement (video)</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

Like other LE propaganda, it''s warm &amp; fuzzy and sounds great, but the fact is there''s a very dark underbelly that is being hidden from you.\r\n\r\nWhy was this Taxpayer Funded Government Organization legally structured as a ''Tax Exempt NGO (non-government organization) Corporation''? Is this <b>part of the huge nationwide effort to hide the rampant theft of public assets from the prying eyes of the public?</b>\r\n\r\nIf the EDC was structured as a public entity, we would have the right to audit its operations and finances and examine the cast of characters guiding this Ouija board''s planchette.\r\n\r\nBecause it''s a private corporation (albeit publicly funded by Taxpayers), the public has no such right. Corporation <b>management, officers, directors and board members are free to transfer public assets into the hands of private parties, friends, business associates, political cronies and relatives </b>without <b>Taxpayers</b> being any the wiser.\r\n\r\nIf you were conducting nefarious, immoral, crooked business, which platform would you prefer to operate from: a public entity that could be audited and your misdeeds discovered, or a private, tax exempt corporation where the public pays the bills but has no right to question your deeds?\r\n\r\nThe LE article stated:\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Mark Ward, director of Economic Development and president of the Scotland County Economic Development Corporation, told the city council Tuesday that his board had agreed to buy two buildings downtown.”</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>: </b></span><span style="color: #000000;">Their </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Private, Tax Exempt Corporation</b></span><span style="color: #000000;"> will be buying buildings </span><span style="color: #000000;">using </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b></span><span style="color: #000000;">. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Ward says he hopes to close on the buildings in the next 30 days and the first thing that will be done is a new roof put on both the buildings.”</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>:</b> New roofs will be put on <b>Their </b>buildings, using <b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b>. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>The goal is to make it an incubator or a business that John A Smith wants to run that <b>we decided</b> as Scotland County EDC should be the type of business downtown wants,” Ward said. <b>“We will allow them to go in there at a significantly low rent to build their business up to stimulate that downtown growth.

This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.\r\n\r\nThe fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. It appears such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.\r\n\r\nWhat''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.\r\n\r\nCertainly there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.\r\n\r\nChildren are becoming sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s been well known for decades that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up amongst the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey had married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as most legislation is written by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, including law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley sits in a jail cell, her job and career destroyed. What''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation.\r\n\r\nWhy must so much of our population be locked up, and for so long? Are we as a nation doing something wrong?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centred, immature social media and gaming junkies?\r\n\r\nWhat about our schools, colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher was assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime. This young woman''s life hangs in the balance.\r\n\r\n<strong>What would Jesus do?</strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;">123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span>\r\n<span style="color: #0000ff;"> 123</span></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">HIDE: Related Posts and Flycheck on side --&gt;</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">ALL LINKS - Change to Blue</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="http://carolinacrossroads.news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">123</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause.

Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as most legislation is written by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, including law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley sits in a jail cell, her job and career destroyed. What''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation.\r\n\r\nWhy must so much of our population be locked up, and for so long? Are we as a nation doing something wrong?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centred, immature social media and gaming junkies?\r\n\r\nWhat about our schools, colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher was assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions.

Are we as a nation doing something wrong?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies?\r\n\r\nWhat about our schools, colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher was assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions.

Like other LE propaganda, it''s warm &amp; fuzzy and sounds great, but the fact is there''s a very dark underbelly that is being hidden from you.\r\n\r\nWhy was this Taxpayer Funded Government Organization legally structured as a ''Tax Exempt NGO (non-government organization) Corporation''? Is this <b>part of the huge nationwide effort to hide the rampant theft of public assets from the prying eyes of the public?</b>\r\n\r\nIf the EDC was structured as a public entity, we would have the right to audit its operations and finances and examine the cast of characters guiding this Ouija board''s planchette.\r\n\r\nBecause it''s a private corporation (albeit publicly funded by Taxpayers), the public has no such right. Corporation <b>management, officers, directors and board members </b><img class="wp-image-3363 alignright" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Strip-Mining-Bucket-Wheel-Part-2-300x202.jpg" alt="" width="287" height="193" /><b>are free to transfer public assets into the hands of private parties, friends, business associates, political cronies and relatives </b>without <b>Taxpayers</b> being any the wiser.\r\n\r\nIf you were conducting nefarious, immoral, crooked business, which platform would you prefer to operate from: a public entity that could be audited and your misdeeds discovered, or a private, tax exempt corporation where the public pays the bills but has no right to question your deeds?\r\n\r\nThe LE article stated:\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Mark Ward, director of Economic Development and president of the Scotland County Economic Development Corporation, told the city council Tuesday that his board had agreed to buy two buildings downtown.”</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>: </b></span><span style="color: #000000;">Their </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Private, Tax Exempt Corporation</b></span><span style="color: #000000;"> will be buying buildings </span><span style="color: #000000;">using </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b></span><span style="color: #000000;">. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Ward says he hopes to close on the buildings in the next 30 days and the first thing that will be done is a new roof put on both the buildings.”</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>:</b> New roofs will be put on <b>Their </b>buildings, using <b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b>. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style="color: #333333;">“<i>The goal is to make it an incubator or a business that John A Smith wants to run that <b>we decided</b> as Scotland County EDC should be the type of business downtown wants,” Ward said. <b>“We will allow them to go in there at a significantly low rent to build their business up to stimulate that downtown growth.

This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft wp-image-3388" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/brianna-nicole-stanley-scotland-county-teacher.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="328" />The fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. It appears such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.\r\n\r\nWhat''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.\r\n\r\nCertainly there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.\r\n\r\nChildren are becoming sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s been well known for decades that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up among the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well-intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey had married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as most legislation is written by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, including law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley sits in a jail cell, her job and career destroyed. What''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation. Law enforcement and District Attorneys are using a relatively new tool make sure are prisons stay full, it''s called <strong>''stacking''</strong>.\r\n\r\nWith so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with plenty of reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, etc.\r\n\r\nIn theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.\r\n\r\nEven though you maintain your innocence, the District Attorney lets you know that if you force him and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' and demand you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis places defendants in a pretty tight spot. Even though you maintain your innocence, should you demand a jury trial and lose, you''re going to spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty year in the slammer despite that fact that your are innocent.\r\n\r\nThis is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the hundreds of thousands of dollars necessary to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies who allow their children to raise themselves?\r\n\r\nWhat about our schools, colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher was assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime. This young woman''s life hangs in the balance.\r\n\r\nOne more thing to consider: While Brianna Nicole Stanley sits in jail, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is hanging out and partying with a known, convicted sexual predator.

This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft wp-image-3388" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/brianna-nicole-stanley-scotland-county-teacher.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="328" />The fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. It appears such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.\r\n\r\nWhat''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.\r\n\r\nCertainly there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.\r\n\r\nChildren are becoming sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s been well known for decades that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up among the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well-intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey had married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as it is drafted by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, including law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley''s job and career are destroyed, and what''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation. Law enforcement and District Attorneys are using a tool called <strong>''Stacking''</strong> to make sure our prisons stay full.\r\n\r\nWith so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use a bank account to commit tax fraud, etc.\r\n\r\nIn theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis places defendants in a pretty tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you are innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">wrong place at the wrong time</span></strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources it would take to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or rather a willing participant?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves so poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies that their children are essentially forced to raise themselves?\r\n\r\nWhat about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raised by other children via social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.

It''s been well known for decades that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up among the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well-intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as it is largely drafted by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, especially law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley''s job and career are destroyed, and what''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation. Law enforcement and District Attorneys use a tool called <strong>''Stacking''</strong> to make sure our prisons stay full.\r\n\r\nWith so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use a bank account to commit tax fraud, etc.\r\n\r\nIn theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis places defendants in a tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you are innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">wrong place at the wrong time</span></strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources it would take to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or a willing participant?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies that their children are essentially forced to raise themselves?\r\n\r\nWhat about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raising on social media?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.\r\n\r\nWhile this young woman''s life hangs in the balance, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper hangs out and parties with a known, convicted sexual offender. <span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>H<span style="color: #3366ff;">e</span>re''s the story</strong></span>.

Is this <b>part of the huge nationwide effort to hide the rampant theft of public assets from the prying eyes of the public?</b>\r\n\r\nIf the EDC was structured as a public entity, we would have the right to audit its operations and finances and examine the cast of characters guiding this Ouija board''s planchette.\r\n\r\nBecause it''s a private corporation (albeit publicly funded by Taxpayers), the public has no such right.

This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft wp-image-3388" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/brianna-nicole-stanley-scotland-county-teacher.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="328" />The fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. Such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.\r\n\r\nWhat''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.\r\n\r\nCertainly, there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.\r\n\r\nChildren are sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s well known that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.\r\n\r\nChildren are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.\r\n\r\nStudents interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?\r\n\r\nA law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.\r\n\r\nWhen the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.\r\n\r\nA well known, respected broker stood up among the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.\r\n\r\nThe job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well-intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.\r\n\r\nHe pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.\r\n\r\nThey married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.\r\n\r\nThe broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.\r\n\r\nTeachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.\r\n\r\nShould such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.\r\n\r\nTeachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.\r\n\r\nLegislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as it is largely drafted by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, especially law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.\r\n\r\nBrianna Nicole Stanley''s job and career are destroyed, and what''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.\r\n\r\nAmerica already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation. Law enforcement and District Attorneys use a tool called <strong>''Stacking''</strong> to make sure our prisons stay full.\r\n\r\nWith so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use a bank account to commit tax fraud, etc.\r\n\r\nIn theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis places defendants in a tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you are innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">wrong place at the wrong time</span></strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or just a willing participant?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies that their children are essentially forced to raise themselves?\r\n\r\nWhat about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raising by social media and burned out parents?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.\r\n\r\nWhile this young woman''s life hangs in the balance, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper hangs out and parties with a known, convicted sexual offender. <a href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/nc-governor-cooper-attends-gala-hosted-by-sex-offender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>H<span style="color: #3366ff;">e</span>re''s the story</strong></span></a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>What would Jesus do?</strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<a href="https://ladyliberty1885.com/2018/12/05/scotland-teacher-racks-up-14-sex-charges-including-child-porn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lady Liberty 1885</span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/e-cigarette-makers-frantically-targeting-your-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-Cigarette Makers Frantically Targeting Your Children</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/incredible-high-school-valedictorian-commencement-speech-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Incredible High School Valedictorian Commencement Speech (video)</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/why-do-bullies-bully-bullying-among-youths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Do Bullies Bully – Bullying Among Youths</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

It''s incumbent upon each of us, especially law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.</p>\n<p>Brianna Nicole Stanley''s job and career are destroyed, and what''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.</p>\n<p>America already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation.</p>\n<p>Law enforcement and District Attorneys are now making prodigious use of a tool called <strong>''Stacking''</strong> to make sure our prisons stay full.</p>\n<p>With so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use electronic communications (a phone) to commit tax fraud, etc.</p>\n<p>In theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.</p>\n<p>The District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.</p>\n<p>This places defendants in a tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you may be innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/how-easy-it-is-to-end-up-in-prison-for-a-crime-you-didnt-commit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>wrong place at the wrong time</strong></a></span>.</p>\n<p>This is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?</p>\n<p>Is Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or just another willing participant?</p>\n<p>How many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media junkies and video gaming zombies whose children are essentially forced to raise themselves?</p>\n<p>What about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?</p>\n<p>Did Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?</p>\n<p>150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raising by social media and burned out parents?</p>\n<p>Should Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face consequences for her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.</p>\n<p>While this young woman''s life hangs in the balance, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper hangs out and parties with a known, convicted sexual offender. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/nc-governor-cooper-attends-gala-hosted-by-sex-offender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Here''s the story</strong></a></span>.</p>\n<p><strong>Ask yourself, What would Jesus do?</strong></p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span><br />\n<a href="https://ladyliberty1885.com/2018/12/05/scotland-teacher-racks-up-14-sex-charges-including-child-porn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lady Liberty 1885</span></a></p>\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address>\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/e-cigarette-makers-frantically-targeting-your-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-Cigarette Makers Frantically Targeting Your Children</a></span></address>\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/incredible-high-school-valedictorian-commencement-speech-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Incredible High School Valedictorian Commencement Speech (video)</a></span></address>\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/why-do-bullies-bully-bullying-among-youths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Do Bullies Bully – Bullying Among Youths</a></span></address>\n<address> </address>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<address>Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this page may be affiliate links which, if used to purchase products, would yield a small commission to CarolinaCrossroads.News.

Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use a bank account to commit tax fraud, etc.\r\n\r\nIn theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.\r\n\r\nThe District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.\r\n\r\nThis places defendants in a tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you are innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/how-easy-it-is-to-end-up-in-prison-for-a-crime-you-didnt-commit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>wrong place at the wrong time</strong></a></span>.\r\n\r\nThis is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?\r\n\r\nIs Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or just a willing participant?\r\n\r\nHow many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media and gaming junkies that their children are essentially forced to raise themselves?\r\n\r\nWhat about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?\r\n\r\nDid Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?\r\n\r\n150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raising by social media and burned out parents?\r\n\r\nShould Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face the consequences of her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.\r\n\r\nWhile this young woman''s life hangs in the balance, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper hangs out and parties with a known, convicted sexual offender. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/nc-governor-cooper-attends-gala-hosted-by-sex-offender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Here''s the story</strong></a></span>.\r\n\r\n<strong>What would Jesus do?</strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span>\r\n<a href="https://ladyliberty1885.com/2018/12/05/scotland-teacher-racks-up-14-sex-charges-including-child-porn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lady Liberty 1885</span></a></p>\r\n\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/e-cigarette-makers-frantically-targeting-your-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-Cigarette Makers Frantically Targeting Your Children</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/incredible-high-school-valedictorian-commencement-speech-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Incredible High School Valedictorian Commencement Speech (video)</a></span></address><address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/why-do-bullies-bully-bullying-among-youths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Do Bullies Bully – Bullying Among Youths</a></span></address><address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

This was Stanley’s first year of teaching with the school district where she taught seventh grade science.</p>\r\n<p><img class="alignleft wp-image-3388" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/brianna-nicole-stanley-scotland-county-teacher.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="328" />The fact is more than 400 female teachers have been convicted nationwide of similar offences during just the past two years. It appears such behaviour is rapidly becoming the new normal.</p>\r\n<p>What''s driving this epidemic? Professionals lay the blame at the feet of ubiquitous electronic technologies that allow instant communications between teachers and students, including the sharing of explicit messaging and photos.</p>\r\n<p>Certainly, there is truth here, but there''s more to this story.</p>\r\n<p>Children are sexually active earlier due to the presence of Estrogen mimickers in our drinking water, food supply, packaging materials and clothing. It''s well known that these chemicals cause the early onset of puberty.</p>\r\n<p>Children are also being exposed to a constant barrage of sexual messaging through advertising, social media, gaming and subliminal messaging.</p>\r\n<p>Students interact with teachers on a regular basis so it''s only natural that sexual relationships will develop, but isn''t it unnatural and unholy for adults to have a sexual relationships with minors as young as twelve?</p>\r\n<p>A law enforcement official spoke at a real estate conference requesting that association members be required to report agents who may be engaging in or likely to engage in ''inappropriate'' sex with minors.</p>\r\n<p>When the speaker finished, the association''s president thanked him and recommended the association adopt law enforcement''s proposed new rules.</p>\r\n<p>A well known, respected broker stood up among the crowd, and with a booming voice began presenting an opposing point of view.</p>\r\n<p>The job of law enforcement he said was to enforce the law and the job of real estate professionals was to sell real estate. He questioned whether agents were competent to make decisions that could end up damaging or even destroying the reputations and careers of fellow agents, regardless of how well-intentioned, and questioned whether unscrupulous agents might even go so far as to falsely report competing agents in order to gain an unfair advantage.</p>\r\n<p>He pointed out that sexual coming of age was a fluid concept that was constantly evolving and offered his grandparents up as an example.</p>\r\n<p>They married at twelve and had their first of ten children at thirteen, all of whom grew up to be productive, law abiding citizens. By today''s standards his grand parents would be convicted sex offenders, and his grandfather a statutory rapist.</p>\r\n<p>The broker ended by recommending the association reject law enforcement''s proposed new rules and received a rousing round of applause. That was the end of that.</p>\r\n<p>Teachers having sex with students, is this a good idea? Of course not.</p>\r\n<p>Should such behaviour be condoned or overlooked? Of course not.</p>\r\n<p>Teachers have a responsibility to act responsibly and school districts have the right to set standards, policy and disciplinary action as necessary.</p>\r\n<p>Legislators also have the right and responsibility to set standards through legislation, but let us bear in mind that most legislation is passed without having ever been read by those who introduce, promote and vote for it, as it is largely drafted by well paid corporate and NGO lobbyists on behalf of those who have bought and paid for our legislators with donations, bribes and blackmail. It''s incumbent upon each of us, especially law enforcement and the judiciary, to question and carefully weigh the applicability and wisdom of legislated solutions.</p>\r\n<p>Brianna Nicole Stanley''s job and career are destroyed, and what''s left of her youth could very well be spent behind bars.</p>\r\n<p>America already has more citizens locked away in jails and prisons than any other nation on earth, and American prison sentences are the most lengthy of any civilized nation.</p>\r\n<p>Law enforcement and District Attorneys are now making prodigious use of a tool called <strong>''Stacking''</strong> to make sure our prisons stay full.</p>\r\n<p>With so many laws now on the books, it''s estimated that each American commits at least 3 felonies a day, that''s 21 felonies each week. When you''ve pissed the wrong person(s) off it''s easier than ever for the system to come up with reasons to arrest you. Once arrested, they don''t just charge you with one crime, say tax fraud, they charge you with a whole host of related crimes, like conspiracy to commit tax fraud, unlawful use of a bank account to commit tax fraud, conspiracy to unlawfully use electronic communications (a phone) to commit tax fraud, etc.</p>\r\n<p>In theory you have the right to demand a trial before a jury of your peers, but ''stacking'' makes that right virtually impossible to exercise. In addition to the original charge of tax fraud which carries a five year sentence, when all the other charges are stacked on top of it, you''re now facing 400 years in prison.</p>\r\n<p>The District Attorney lets you know that if you force him/her and the court to go through the expense of a trial, they will ''throw the book at you'' by demanding you be sentenced to the maximum of 400 years... but if you plead guilty to the charges, they will only seek a sentence of twenty years.</p>\r\n<p>This places defendants in a tight spot. Should you demand a jury trial and lose, you could spend the next 400 years in prison. If you agree to plead guilty, you will only spend twenty years in the slammer (despite that fact that you may be innocent). Our jails and prisons are full of individuals whose only crime was to be in the <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/how-easy-it-is-to-end-up-in-prison-for-a-crime-you-didnt-commit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>wrong place at the wrong time</strong></a></span>.</p>\r\n<p>This is the very situation Brianna Nicole Stanley now faces. Does she have the financial resources to adequately defend herself, or will she be forced to accept an onerous, unjust plea agreement in order to avoid spending the rest of her life in prison? What would you do in her position?</p>\r\n<p>Is Brianna Nicole Stanley just an average American girl, like most, having grown up with faces glued to cell phones and other electronic devices, sharing their every thought, fantasy and desire on social media? Was the supposed victim really a victim or just another willing participant?</p>\r\n<p>How many of today''s parents are themselves poorly educated, uninformed, self centered, immature social media junkies and video gaming zombies whose children are essentially forced to raise themselves?</p>\r\n<p>What about our teaching colleges and universities? With over 400 female teachers having been convicted of sex crimes with students in just the past two years, can it be said that Brianna Nicole Stanley''s educators properly informed and instructed her regarding what is and isn''t acceptable sexual behaviour with students?</p>\r\n<p>Did Scotland County''s school system''s intake and orientation program for new teachers adequately explain its policies and expectations to Brianna?</p>\r\n<p>150 years ago a twenty three year old teacher could be assumed to be a mature, responsible adult. Can this really be said today when children are for the most part being raising by social media and burned out parents?</p>\r\n<p>Should Brianna Nicole Stanley receive a ''Get Out of Jail Free'' pass? Of course not. She is of legal age and, like it or not, must face consequences for her poor decisions. We can only pray, that when our judicial system dispenses its ''justice'', The Punishment will befit the Crime.</p>\r\n<p>While this young woman''s life hangs in the balance, North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper hangs out and parties with a known, convicted sexual offender. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/nc-governor-cooper-attends-gala-hosted-by-sex-offender/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Here''s the story</strong></a></span>.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Ask yourself, What would Jesus do?</strong></p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333;"><em><strong>Sources:</strong></em></span><br />\r\n<a href="https://ladyliberty1885.com/2018/12/05/scotland-teacher-racks-up-14-sex-charges-including-child-porn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lady Liberty 1885</span></a></p>\r\n<address><strong>Related Articles:</strong></address>\r\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/e-cigarette-makers-frantically-targeting-your-children/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E-Cigarette Makers Frantically Targeting Your Children</a></span></address>\r\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/incredible-high-school-valedictorian-commencement-speech-video/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Incredible High School Valedictorian Commencement Speech (video)</a></span></address>\r\n<address><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" title="123" href="https://carolinacrossroads.news/why-do-bullies-bully-bullying-among-youths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Do Bullies Bully – Bullying Among Youths</a></span></address>\r\n<address> </address>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get Your Free Subscription Today to Carolina Crossroads News.

Corporation <b>management, officers, directors and board members </b><img class="wp-image-3363 alignright" src="https://carolinacrossroads.news/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Strip-Mining-Bucket-Wheel-Part-2-300x202.jpg" alt="" width="287" height="193" /><b>are free to transfer public assets into the hands of private parties, friends, business associates, political cronies and relatives </b>without <b>Taxpayers</b> being any the wiser.</p>\r\n<p>If you were conducting nefarious, immoral, crooked business, which platform would you prefer to operate from: a public entity that could be audited and your misdeeds discovered, or a private, tax exempt corporation where the public pays the bills but has no right to question your deeds?</p>\r\n<p>What would Jesus do?</p>\r\n<p>The LE article stated:</p>\r\n<p><span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Mark Ward, director of Economic Development and president of the Scotland County Economic Development Corporation, told the city council Tuesday that his board had agreed to buy two buildings downtown.”</i></span></p>\r\n<p><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>: </b></span><span style="color: #000000;">Their </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Private, Tax Exempt Corporation</b></span><span style="color: #000000;"> will be buying buildings </span><span style="color: #000000;">using </span><span style="color: #000000;"><b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b></span><span style="color: #000000;">. </span></span></p>\r\n<p><span style="color: #333333;">“<i>Ward says he hopes to close on the buildings in the next 30 days and the first thing that will be done is a new roof put on both the buildings.”</i></span></p>\r\n<p><span style="color: #000000;"><b><em>Translation</em>:</b> New roofs will be put on <b>Their </b>buildings, using <b>Your Taxpayer Dollars</b>. </span></p>\r\n<p><span style="color: #333333;">“<i>The goal is to make it an incubator or a business that John A Smith wants to run that <b>we decided</b> as Scotland County EDC should be the type of business downtown wants,” Ward said. <b>“We will allow them to go in there at a significantly low rent to build their business up to stimulate that downtown growth.
